Overview – Three and Six Month Periods Ended March 28, 2025
Current report
For the six months ended March 28, 2025, net loss attributable to the Company from continuing operations was $(6.0) million (or $0.00 per diluted share on a rounded basis), a decrease of $226.5 million, from net earnings of $220.6 million (or $1.76 per diluted share) for the corresponding period last year. Included in the Company’s operating results from continuing operations for six months ended March 28, 2025 were $254.7 million in pre-tax charges recorded in miscellaneous (expense) income, net mainly associated with fair value losses and other related expenses relating to our investment in Amentum stock after finalization of the Separation Transaction and $20.5 million in discounts and expenses recorded to loss on extinguishment of debt for the six months ended March 28, 2025, associated with the Equity-for-Debt Transaction (see Note 12-Borrowings and Note 15-Discontinued Operations). Our reported net loss for the second half of 2025 was favorably impacted by a decrease in pre-tax Restructuring and other charges and transaction costs of $55.0 million compared to the fiscal 2024 period associated primarily to expenses incurred relating to the Separation Transaction (primarily professional services and employee separation costs), which are discussed in Note 17-Restructuring and Other Charges.
Current report
Loss on extinguishment of debt for the three and six months ended March 28, 2025 was $20.5 million, in discounts and expenses associated with the Equity-for-Debt Transaction executed on March 13, 2025, where the Company exchanged shares of our investment in Amentum Holdings, Inc. for a principal amount of term loans under the 2021 Term Loan Facility, which term loans were immediately extinguished. See Note 12-Borrowings and Note 15-Discontinued Operations.
Current report
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 of 30.1% for the three-month period ended March 29, 2024 was related to U.S. state income tax expense of $2.4 million and U.S. tax on foreign earnings of $3.3 million.
Current report
Revenues for the I&AF segment for the three and six months ended March 28, 2025 were $2.60 billion and $5.23 billion, respectively, an increase of $49.5 million and $171.5 million, or 1.9% and 3.4%, compared to $2.55 billion and $5.06 billion for the corresponding periods last year. The increase in revenues for the three and six months ended March 28, 2025 was driven primarily from stronger performance in its Advanced Facilities and APME business operations. This was partly offset by a reserve in connection with an unfavorable interim ruling against a consolidated joint venture in which the Company holds a 50% interest, with the noncontrolling partner’s share included in noncontrolling interests in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the 2025 periods presented. Additionally, foreign currency translation had approximately $17.6 million and $10.7 million in unfavorable impacts on revenues for the three and six months ended March 28, 2025, as compared to $9.1 million and $30.0 million in favorable impacts in the corresponding prior year periods.
Current report
The increase in backlog in PA Consulting from March 29, 2024 was primarily driven by organic year-over-year growth of the business including some material sales in the second fiscal quarter of 2025.
Current report

Under the 2025 Term Loan Facility, JEGI borrowed a $200.0 million term loan and £410.0 million term loan for a term of two-years from the date of initial funding, maturing on March 26, 2027. The proceeds from the 2025 Term Loan Facility were used to repay the outstanding 2021 Term Loan Facility principal equal to $120.0 million and £410.2 million, or $531.6 million, and was otherwise used for general corporate purposes.
Current report
Short-term debt as of March 28, 2025 decreased by $875.8 million compared to September 27, 2024 primarily due to the Equity-for-Debt Transaction, pursuant to which the Company extinguished $311.5 million under the GBP 2021 Term Loan, in exchange for its approximately 19.5 million shares in Amentum, and the entry to the 2025 Term Loan Facility, the proceeds of which were used to extinguish the remaining $531.6 million under the GBP 2021 term loan contract. For more information, please refer to Note - 12 Borrowingsand Note 15 -Discontinued Operations.
Current report
In connection with the Post-Closing Additional Merger Consideration relating to the Separation Transaction, the Company became entitled to receive approximately 7.3 million Amentum shares from the 9.7 million shares held in escrow.

Overview – Three Months Ended December 27, 2024
Previous report
In December 2021, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development ("OECD") released the Pillar Two Model Rules (also referred to as the global minimum tax or Global Anti-Base Erosion "GloBE" rules), which were designed to ensure large multinational enterprises pay a minimum 15 percent level of tax on the income arising in each jurisdiction in which they operate. Several jurisdictions in which we operate have enacted these rules, which are effective for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending September 26, 2025. The Company is continually monitoring developments and evaluating the potential impacts. At this time, implementation of these rules has not generated a material impact on consolidated income taxes.
Previous report
The amount of income taxes the Company pays is subject to ongoing audits by tax jurisdictions around the world. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by tax authorities throughout the world, including such major jurisdictions as Australia, Canada, India, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the United States. Our estimate of the potential outcome of any uncertain tax issue is subject to our assessment of the relevant risks, facts, and circumstances existing at the time. The Company believes that it has adequately provided for reasonably foreseeable outcomes related to these matters. However, future results may include favorable or unfavorable adjustments to our estimated tax liabilities in the period the assessments are made or resolved, which may impact our effective tax rate.
Previous report
Revenues for the I&AF segment for the first fiscal quarter of 2025 was $2.63 billion, an increase of $122.0 million, or 4.9%, from reported amount of $2.50 billion for the corresponding period last year. The increase in revenue for the first fiscal quarter of 2025 was driven by net revenue growth across all sectors, particularly in water, life sciences, transportation and energy. Foreign currency translation had approximately $6.9 million in favorable impacts on revenues for the three months ended first fiscal quarter of 2025, as compared to $20.9 million in favorable impacts in the corresponding prior year period.
Previous report
Under the Separation Transaction, Jacobs and its shareholders will own up to 63% of AMTM stock upon consummation of the transaction, the exact amount of which continues to be subject to final settlement based on the achievement of certain fiscal year 2024 operating profit targets. Jacobs is also expected to realize additional value after closing through the disposition of its retained equity stake in the combined company within 12 months of the transaction closing date, but there can be no assurance regarding the ultimate timing of such divestiture. The Company cannot predict the trading price of shares of Amentum’s common stock and the market value of the Amentum shares are subject to market volatility and other factors outside of our control. Unanticipated developments could delay, prevent or otherwise adversely affect the divestiture, including but not limited to financial market conditions.

Net loss attributable to the Company from continuing operations for the first fiscal quarter of 2025 was $(17.1) million (or $(0.10) per diluted share), a decrease of $145.5 million, from net earnings of $128.3 million (or $1.03 per diluted share) for the corresponding period last year. Included in the Company’s operating results from continuing operations for the first fiscal quarter of 2025 were $145.2 million in pre-tax fair value losses recorded in miscellaneous (expense) income, net, associated with our investment held in Amentum stock after finalization of the Separation Transaction as well as pre-tax Restructuring and other charges and transaction costs of $16.1 million associated primarily to expenses incurred relating to the Separation Transaction (primarily professional services and employee separation costs), compared to 2024 amounts of$41.4 million, which are discussed in Note 17-Restructuring and Other Charges.
Current wording
Net earnings attributable to the Company from continuing operations for the second fiscal quarter of 2025 were $11.2 million (or $0.10 per diluted share), a decrease of $81.1 million, from net earnings of $92.2 million (or $0.73 per diluted share) for the corresponding period last year. Included in the Company’s operating results from continuing operations for the second fiscal quarter of 2025 were $109.5 million in fair value losses and other related expenses recorded in miscellaneous (expense) income, net, associated with our investment in Amentum stock after finalization of the Separation Transaction and $20.5 million in discounts and expenses recorded to loss on extinguishment of debt for the three months ended March 28, 2025, associated with the Equity-for-Debt Transaction (see Note 12-Borrowings and Note 15-Discontinued Operations). Our reported net earnings for the second fiscal quarter of 2025 were favorably impacted by a decrease in pre-tax Restructuring and other charges and transaction costs of $29.7 million compared to the fiscal 2024 period associated primarily to expenses incurred relating to the Separation Transaction (primarily professional services and employee separation costs), which are discussed in Note 17-Restructuring and Other Charges.
Previous wording
Net loss attributable to the Company from discontinued operations for the first fiscal quarter of 2025 was $(1.0) million (or $(0.01) per diluted share), a decrease of $44.3 million, from net earnings of $43.3 million (or $0.34 per diluted share) for the corresponding period last year. The change year-over-year was primarily driven by prior year operating results of the SpinCo Business which were divested and therefore are no longer in Company's financial results in fiscal year 2025. See note 15-Discontinued Operations.
Current wording
Net loss attributable to the Company from discontinued operations for the second fiscal quarter of 2025 was $(5.6) million (or $(0.05) per diluted share), a decrease of $75.4 million, from net earnings of $69.9 million (or $0.55 per diluted share) for the corresponding period last year.

Previous wording
Revenues for the first fiscal quarter of 2025 were $2.93 billion, an increase of $122.7 million, or 4.4%, from $2.81 billion for the corresponding period last year. Revenue increases for the quarterly year over year period were due mainly to the Company's I&AF business, as well as slightly higher revenues year over year in our PA Consulting business. The I&AF business benefited primarily from stronger performance in its Americas, Energy & Power and Asia Pacific and Middle East business operations. Our revenues were favorably impacted by foreign currency translation of $16.4 million for the first fiscal quarter of 2025 across our international businesses, as compared to a favorable impact of $37.6 million for the first fiscal quarter of 2024, respectively.
Current wording
Revenues for the second fiscal quarter of 2025 were $2.91 billion, an increase of $63.2 million, or 2.2%, from $2.85 billion for the corresponding period last year. For the six months ended March 28, 2025, revenues were $5.84 billion, an increase of $186.0 million, or 3.3%, from $5.66 billion for the corresponding period last year. Revenue increases for both the three and six month periods year over year were mainly due to the Company's I&AF business, as well as revenue growth in our PA Consulting business. The I&AF business benefited primarily from stronger performance in its Advanced Facilities and Asia, Pacific and Middle East (APME) business operations for both quarterly and year to date comparative periods presented. Our revenues were unfavorably impacted by foreign currency translation of $18.8 million and $2.3 million for the three and six months ended March 28, 2025, respectively, across our international businesses, as compared to a favorable impact of $21.5 million and $59.0 million for the three and six months ended March 29, 2024, respectively.
Previous wording
Gross profit for the first fiscal quarter of 2025 was $721.3 million, an increase of $56.5 million, or 8.5%, from $664.7 million from the corresponding period last year, with gross profit margins of 24.6% and 23.7% for the respective periods. The Company's increase in gross profit was mainly attributable to higher revenues as mentioned above, with favorable margin impacts from year over year mix as well as personnel cost impacts.
Current wording
Gross profit for the second fiscal quarter of 2025 was $738.3 million, an increase of $26.4 million, or 3.7%, from $712.0 million from the corresponding period last year, with gross profit margins of 25.4% and 25.0% for the respective periods.

Previous wording
Selling, general & administrative ("SG&A") expenses for the first fiscal quarter of 2025 were $512.8 million compared to $522.7 million for the corresponding period last year, representing a decrease of $9.9 million or 1.9%. Lower SG&A expenses as compared to the corresponding period last year was due primarily to decrease of $22.2 million in Restructuring and other charges costs associated with the Separation Transaction. This decrease in SG&A expenses was partly offset by increases in expenses associated with the Transition Services Agreement (the "TSA") with Amentum, incentives and other department spend. Lastly, SG&A expenses were impacted by unfavorable foreign exchange impacts of $3.2 million for the first fiscal quarter of 2025 as compared to unfavorable impacts of $3.6 million for the first fiscal quarter of 2024.
Current wording
Selling, general & administrative ("SG&A") expenses for the three and six months ended March 28, 2025 were $529.7 million and $1,042.5 million, respectively, as compared to $528.7 million and $1,051.4 million for the corresponding periods last year, representing an increase of $1.0 million or 0.2% and decrease of $8.9 million or 0.8% respectively. SG&A expenses for the three and six months ended March 28, 2025 were impacted by decreases of $22.2 million and $44.4 million, respectively, in lower Restructuring and other charges costs associated with the Separation Transaction, mainly comprised of professional services, in the current year. These favorable items were more than offset for the three months ended March 28, 2025 and partially offset for the six months ended March 28, 2025 by increases in expenses associated with the Transition Services Agreement (the "TSA") with Amentum, incentives and other department spend. Lastly, SG&A expenses benefited from favorable foreign exchange impacts of $4.9 million and $1.7 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended March 28, 2025, as compared to favorable impacts of $0.6 million and unfavorable impacts of $2.9 million for the corresponding periods last year.
Previous wording
Net interest expense for the first fiscal quarter of 2025 was $25.2 million, a decrease of $10.7 million from $35.8 million or 29.8%, for the corresponding period last year. The decrease in net interest expense for the first fiscal quarter of 2025 was due primarily to the Company's higher levels of cash and lower overall levels of outstanding debt compared to the last fiscal year compared to the comparative periods.
Current wording
Net interest expense for the three and six months ended March 28, 2025 was $29.1 million and $54.2 million, respectively, a decrease of $6.5 million and $17.1 million from $35.5 million and $71.4 million or 18.2% and 24.0%, respectively, for the corresponding periods last year. The decrease in net interest expense for the three and six months ended March 28, 2025 was due primarily to increases in interest income associated with the Company's higher levels of cash compared to the corresponding periods last year due to the reduction of outstanding debt balances in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 using proceeds associated with the Separation Transaction.
Previous wording
Miscellaneous (expense) net for the first fiscal quarter of 2025 was $(130.1) million in comparison to $(3.0) million for the corresponding period last year. The unfavorable comparisons to the corresponding period last year were due primarily to a $145.2 million loss associated with mark-to-market losses associated with our investment in Amentum stock in connection with the Separation Transaction, offset in part by $11.4 million in TSA-related income associated with the Separation Transaction as discussed in Note 15-Discontinued Operations.
Current wording
Miscellaneous (expense) net for the three and six months ended March 28, 2025 was $(103.3) million and $(233.4) million respectively, in comparison to $(3.7) million and $(6.7) million for the corresponding period last year. The increase of $(99.6) million and $(226.7) million for the three and six months ended March 28, 2025 respectively, were due mainly to $109.5 million and $254.7 million in mark-to-market losses and other related expenses associated with our investment in Amentum stock in connection with the Separation Transaction, offset in part by $10.3 million and $21.7 million in TSA-related income associated with the Separation Transaction as discussed in Note 15-Discontinued Operations.
Previous wording
The Company’s effective tax rates from continuing operations for the three months ended December 27, 2024 and December 29, 2023 were 107.5% and (30.6)%, respectively. The most significant items 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-month period ended December 27, 2024 was due to $37.0 million in unfavorable tax impacts associated with the non-deductibility of losses from our investment in Amentum stock, as well as U.S. state income tax expense of $5.4 million and U.S. tax on foreign earnings of $4.9 million. The U.S state income tax and U.S. tax on foreign earnings are expected to have a continuing impact on the Company's effective tax rate for the remainder of the fiscal year.
Current wording
The Company’s effective tax rates from continuing operations for the three months ended March 28, 2025 and March 29, 2024 were 90.6% and 30.1%, respectively. The most significant items 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-month period ended March 28, 2025 were related to $33.1 million in unfavorable tax impacts associated with the non-deductibility of losses from the Company's investment in Amentum stock, as well as U.S. state income tax expense of $4.0 million and U.S. tax on foreign earnings of $4.5 million. The U.S state income tax and U.S. tax on foreign earnings are expected to have a continuing impact on the Company's effective tax rate for the remainder of the fiscal year.
Previous wording
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-month period ended December 29, 2023 was related to the election to treat an Australian subsidiary as a corporation versus a partnership for U.S. tax purposes, which resulted in the derecognition of a deferred tax liability and yielded a discrete income tax benefit of $61.6 million as the Company asserted that a component of the investment will be indefinitely reinvested.
Current wording

Previous wording
Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests including redeemable noncontrolling interests for the first fiscal quarter of 2025 were $13.1 million and $6.5 million for the corresponding period last year. The year over year increase was primarily due to changes in net earnings results in our PA Consulting investment compared to the prior year period.
Current wording
Net loss (earnings) attributable to noncontrolling interests for the three and six months ended March 28, 2025 were $11.7 million and $5.7 million, respectively, as compared to $(4.3) million and $(8.2) million for the corresponding periods last year. These changes in noncontrolling interests were primarily resulting from the impact of an unfavorable interim ruling against a consolidated joint venture in which the Company holds a 50% interest, in connection with a long running project, upon which the Company recorded a reserve against related accounts receivable (the “Consolidated JV Matter”) during the quarter. Net earnings attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests for the three and six months ended March 28, 2025 were $(5.8) million and $(12.9) million, respectively and $(4.1) million and $(6.7) million for the corresponding periods last year, with these comparative changes resulting from higher net earnings results in our PA Consulting investment compared to the prior year periods.
Previous wording
During fiscal 2023, the Company implemented restructuring initiatives relating to the Separation Transaction. The Company incurred approximately $0.7 million during the first fiscal quarter of 2025 and $42.0 million and $17.5 million in fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023, respectively, in pre-tax cash charges in connection with these initiatives. These actions, which are expected to be substantially completed before the end of fiscal 2025, are expected to result in estimated gross annualized pre-tax cash savings of approximately $120 million to $147 million. We will likely incur additional charges under this program through fiscal 2025, which are expected to result in additional savings in future periods.

Operating profit for the I&AF segment for the first fiscal quarter of 2025 was $157.8 million, an increase of $28.9 million, or 22.4%, from $128.9 million for the corresponding period last year. The increase in the three month period is a result of higher year over year segment revenues mentioned above as well as a one-time negative impact from changes in employee benefits programs in prior year period. Foreign currency translation had approximately $0.7 million in favorable impact on operating profit for the first fiscal quarter of 2025, as compared to $5.0 million in favorable impacts in the corresponding prior year period.

Operating profit for the three months ended March 28, 2025 is relatively flat year over year as a result of higher volume across the sectors while offset by a reserve in connection with an unfavorable interim ruling against a consolidated joint venture in which the Company holds a 50% interest, with the noncontrolling partner's share included in noncontrolling interests in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the 2025 periods presented. The increase for the six months ended March 28, 2025 is a result of higher year over year segment revenues mentioned above as well as a one-time negative impact from changes in employee benefits programs in prior year period.

Revenues for the PA Consulting segment for the first fiscal quarter of 2025 were $306.7 million, an increase of $0.7 million, or 0.2% from $306.0 million in the corresponding period last year. The three month increase is primarily due to foreign currency translation which had an approximately $9.5 million in favorable impacts on revenues for the first fiscal quarter of 2025, as compared to $16.7 million in favorable impacts in the corresponding prior year period, offset by lower performance in public sector work compared to the prior year.
Current wording

The increase in revenue for the three months ended March 28, 2025 is due to improved performance in PA Consulting's public sector work. The six month increase is mainly due to improved performance in PA Consulting's health & life sciences business, partly offset by reduction in consumer & manufacturing business. Foreign currency translation had approximately $1.2 million in unfavorable and $8.3 million in favorable impacts on revenues for the three and six months ended March 28, 2025, as compared to $12.4 million and $29.1 million in favorable impacts in the corresponding prior year period.

For the first fiscal quarter of 2024, cash from operations was $418.4 million (inclusive of discontinued operations) and $307.1 million from continuing operations. The decline on a continuing operations basis was largely due to higher uses of cash from increases in net working capital, namely Accounts Receivables as well as increases in cash income tax payments of $48.0 million within accrued liabilities. These decreases were offset in part by higher net earnings from continuing operations after adjustments for non-cash reconciling items, mainly losses on investment securities.
