Current report

The U.S. budget and regulatory landscape remains uncertain, and this uncertainty is expected to continue. The Company’s performance depends on overall federal spending levels and how well its capabilities align with government priorities. The administration is reviewing agency spending to improve efficiency and productivity, which has already led to some contract reductions, cancellations, and price renegotiations for the Company. Future reviews may cause further adjustments or mandates to cut costs.

Current report

The Company closely monitors federal budget, legislative, and contracting developments to adapt its strategies accordingly. While defense and national security spending enjoy bipartisan support amid global tensions, uncertainty persists around the timing and passage of annual appropriations bills.

Current report

We continue to align the Company’s capabilities with well-funded budget priorities and take steps to maintain a competitive cost structure in line with our expectations of future business opportunities. In light of these actions, as well as the budgetary environment discussed above, we believe we are well positioned to continue to win new business in our addressable market.

Current report

On November 12, 2025, Congress passed and the President signed an appropriations bill to fund certain agencies and extend funding at current levels for the remaining agencies through January 30, 2026. As Congress did not enact full-year appropriations or a continuing resolution by the expiration of that funding measure, a partial government shutdown commenced on January 31, 2026. The partial shutdown ended on February 3, 2026 when Congress passed and the President signed funding appropriations for five federal agencies, including DoD and HHS. A short-term continuing resolution providing two weeks of funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) was included in the appropriations. The Company does not expect this to have a material impact on its operations and financial performance.

Current report

Provision for income taxes decreased $1.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 over 2024. The effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was 32.5% and 25.9%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate compared to the prior year period was primarily attributable to state income taxes and changes in permanent differences, partially offset by the impact of federal tax legislation enacted in July 2025. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act modified the limitation on the deductibility of business interest expense. The Company’s tax provision for the current quarter reflects these changes, including a more favorable limitation on business interest expense under Section 163(j). The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to state income taxes and permanent differences, partially offset by the effects of the legislative changes described above.

Current report

The Company is presenting certain non-GAAP measures regarding its financial performance. The measures presented are Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation, and Amortization ("EBITDA") and Adjusted EBITDA. In calculating Adjusted EBITDA, we have added back to EBITDA certain costs associated with scaling indirect costs to revenue volume. These resulting measures present our financial performance compared to the results delivered in the prior year period.

Current report

These supplemental performance measurements may vary from and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures by other companies in our industry. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not recognized measurements under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, and when analyzing our performance investors should (i) evaluate each adjustment in our reconciliation to the nearest GAAP financial measures and (ii) use the aforementioned non-GAAP measures in addition to, and not as an alternative to, revenue, operating income, net income or diluted EPS, as measures of operating results, each as defined under GAAP. We have defined these non-GAAP measures as follows:

Current report

"EBITDA" represents net income before income taxes, interest, depreciation and amortization.

Current report

“Adjusted EBITDA” represents net income before income taxes, interest, depreciation and amortization and thecosts associated with scaling general and administrative costs to revenue volume.

Current report

Below is a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA reported for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 to its most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP as follows (in thousands):

Current report

Cash was approximately $0.3 million and $0.1 million for the period ended December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, respectively.

Current report

Cash flows used in operating activities totaled approximately $(4.8) million and $(11.5) million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in cash from operations was principally due to an increase in collections over the prior year period, which resulted in a reduction in our accounts receivable.
Removed paragraphs (16)

Previous report

We were awarded new task orders under this IDIQ contract for the remaining six locations with varying periods of performance. The task order for the Leavenworth, Kansas location has an end date of August 31, 2025. The VA has awarded a task order to provide services at the Leavenworth location to a new prime contractor with whom we are not affiliated. At the conclusion of our task order ending August 31, 2025, we expect to cease operations at that location. The remaining five locations have task orders with periods of performance through October 2025. To continue ordering services after expiration of the current task orders, the VA would need to award a new bridge contract.

Previous report

The Company's contract with HHS in support of its Head Start program generated $28.4 million and $31.4 million of revenues for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 respectively. This contract has a period of performance through October 2025. The customer is evaluating responses to its request for proposals and until the procurement process is complete, we expect to continue providing monitoring and evaluation services.

Previous report

Provision for income tax expense decreased $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 over 2024. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was (34.2)% and 29.7%, respectively. The tax provision for this quarter reflects the positive impact of an increase in estimated year end income before provision for income tax as the year end effective tax rate decreased from approximately 28% to approximately 23%.

Previous report

Revenue decreased $36.2 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 over 2024, primarily reflecting the conversion of certain contracts in our VA and DOD portfolios to small business contractors. The revenue decrease from small business conversion was partially offset by contributions from new contract awards.

Previous report

For the nine months ended June 30, 2025, depreciation and amortization expense were approximately $0.5 million and $12.3 million, respectively, as compared to approximately $0.4 million and $12.3 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.

Previous report

Provision for income tax expense increased $0.2 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 over 2024. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was 22.9% and 7.8%, respectively. The tax provision from the prior year period was positively impacted by the exercise of non-qualifying stock options.

Previous report

The Company uses Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation, and Amortization ("EBITDA") as a supplemental non-GAAP measure of our performance. DLH defines EBITDA as net income excluding (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) interest expense, and (iii) provision for income tax expense.

Previous report

Reconciliation of GAAP net income to EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure(in thousands):

Previous report

Cash was approximately $0.2 million and $0.3 million as of June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively.

Previous report

Cash flows provided by operating activities totaled approximately $12.5 million and $14.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities is primarily due to a decrease in revenue volume as compared to the prior year.

Previous report

(a) The increase in facility operating lease obligations was due to an amendment to an existing lease extending the lease term.

You should read the following discussion in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes to those statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2024, and in other reports we have subsequently filed with the SEC. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain statements that are forward-looking within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Certain statements contained in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Any statements that refer to expectations, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances or that are not statements of historical fact (including without limitation statements to the effect that the Company or its management “believes”, “expects”, “anticipates”, “plans”, “intends” and similar expressions) should be considered forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties which could cause actual events or DLH’s actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements in this report include, among others, statements regarding benefits of acquisitions, estimates of future revenues, operating income, earnings, earnings per share, backlog, and cash flows. These statements reflect our belief and assumptions as to future events that may not prove to be accurate.

•CMOP pharmacy and logistic services represent approximately $89.8 million and $105.8 million of revenues for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Current wording

•CMOP pharmacy and logistic services represent approximately $26.9 million and $34.1 million of revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Previous wording

As previously disclosed, the VA issued solicitations for performance of the CMOP program by separate contracts for each of its eight locations, with the awards limited to service-disabled veteran owned small business (“SDVOSB”) prime contractors. As that ongoing acquisition evaluation is occurring, DLH continues performance as the prime contractor under a sole-source Indefinite Quantity/Indefinite Delivery ("IDIQ") contract effective May 1, 2024. The IDIQ initially had ceiling value of $200.0 million, and the ceiling value was increased by $50 million to $250 million in April 2025. It also has a maximum ordering period through April 30, 2025, with the potential for orders placed within that period to extend performance beyond April 2025. To date, VA has transitioned performance for two locations previously covered by this IDIQ: Chelmsford, Massachusetts (July 31, 2024) and Hines, Illinois (January 31, 2025).

Current wording

As previously disclosed, the VA issued solicitations for performance of the CMOP program under separate contracts for each of its eight locations, with the awards limited to service-disabled veteran owned small business (“SDVOSB”) prime contractors. As this ongoing acquisition evaluation is occurring, DLH was awarded a new sole-source Indefinite Quantity/Indefinite Delivery ("IDIQ") contract effective October 28, 2025. The IDIQ has ceiling value of $90.0 million, and a maximum ordering period through October 2026, with the potential for orders placed within that period to extend performance through April 2027. Depending on the timing of the acquisition process, revenue recognized under the IDIQ may be less than the awarded value.

Previous wording

With respect to the remaining five locations that DLH expects to operate through October 2025, the VA has solicitations to evaluate for three locations and has not yet assigned a proposal due date for the solicitations for the remaining two locations. Until the VA has completed its procurement processes, we expect to continue providing pharmacy and logistics services at these locations. DLH intends to provide additional updates to the progression of these solicitations as a part of its regular quarterly and annual filings.

Current wording

During the quarter, we performed services at four CMOP locations. The VA made an award for one location, which transitioned to a new prime contractor on November 28, 2025. For the remaining three locations, the VA made two awards for additional locations, but that transition timing has not yet been established. Until the VA has completed its procurement and transition processes, we expect to continue providing pharmacy and logistics services at these locations. DLH intends to provide additional updates to the progression of these solicitations as a part of its regular quarterly and annual filings.

Previous wording

At June 30, 2025, our backlog was approximately $555.3 million of which $92.3 million was funded backlog. At September 30, 2024, our backlog was approximately $690.3 million, of which $155.1 million was funded backlog.

Current wording

At December 31, 2025, our backlog was approximately $517.4 million of which $124.0 million was funded backlog. At September 30, 2025, our backlog was approximately $514.3 million, of which $114.1 million was funded backlog.

Previous wording

As we continue to align the Company’s capabilities with well-funded budget priorities and the current budgetary environment, we believe we are well positioned to win new business in our large addressable market. Additional factors that could affect federal government spending in our addressable market include changes in set-asides for small businesses, changes in budgetary priorities associated with the new administration, and the effect of initiatives such as the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), on limiting or reducing federal government spending in general. Further, the changing priorities of the new administration may have an adverse impact on our results and, as such new priorities are implemented, it may be difficult for us to accurately predict the effect they will have on our results.

Current wording

As we continue to align the Company’s capabilities with well-funded budget priorities and the current budgetary environment, we believe we are well positioned to win new business in our large addressable market. We are focused on increasing organic growth across our addressable market and delivering robust cash flow. We believe these priorities position the Company to expand within key national programs and mission-critical areas of health and national security. However, additional factors that could affect federal government spending in our addressable market include changes in set-asides for small businesses, changes in budgetary priorities associated with the new administration, and the effect of initiatives such as the Department of Government Efficiency ("DOGE"), on limiting or reducing federal government spending in general.

Previous wording

The Company believes that its past performance in this market and track record of success provide a competitive advantage. However, the effect of set-aside provisions may limit our ability to compete for prime contractor positions on programs that we recompete or that we have targeted for growth. In these cases, the Company may elect to join a team with an eligible contractor as prime for specific pursuits that align with our core markets and corporate growth strategy.

Previous wording

During the nine months ended June 30, 2025, we generated revenues of approximately $89.8 million from our set of contracts in support of the VA's CMOP program. As previously reported, the VA has been soliciting proposals for new contracts covering this work with a preference for a Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business, or SDVOSB, to perform as the prime contractor. To date, the VA has awarded three locations to a new SDVOSB prime contractor, including the Leavenworth, Kansas location, which is expected to transition to the new contractor on August 31, 2025. The remaining five locations continue to be operated by DLH as the prime contractor. Should awards for the locations for which we have submitted a proposal be offered to a partner of DLH, we expect to continue to perform a significant amount of those contracts' volume of business as a subcontractor.

Current wording

During the quarter ended December 31, 2025, we generated revenues of approximately $26.9 million from our set of contracts in support of the VA's CMOP program. As previously reported, the VA has been soliciting proposals for new contracts covering this work with a requirement for a Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business, or SDVOSB, to perform as the prime contractor. To date, the VA has awarded and completed the transition process for five locations to new SDVOSB prime contractors; the remaining three locations continue to be operated by DLH as the prime contractor. Should awards for the locations for which we have submitted a proposal be offered to a partner of DLH, we expect to continue to perform a significant amount of those contracts' volume of business as a subcontractor.

Previous wording

Revenue decreased $17.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 over 2024, primarily reflecting the conversion of certain contracts in our VA and DOD portfolios to small business contractors. The revenue decrease from small business conversion was partially offset by contributions from new contract awards.

Current wording

Revenue decreased $21.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 over 2024, primarily reflecting the conversion of certain contracts in our contract portfolio to small business contractors.

Previous wording

Contract costs primarily include the costs associated with providing services to our customers. These costs are generally comprised of direct labor and associated fringe benefit costs, subcontract cost, other direct costs, and the related management and infrastructure costs. Contract costs decreased $14.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 over 2024; the decrease was primarily due to the decrease in revenue volume and a decrease in overhead costs.

Contract costs decreased $17.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 over 2024; the decrease was primarily due to the decrease in revenue volume.

Previous wording

General and administrative costs are for those employees not directly providing services to our customers, to include but not limited to executive management, business development, accounting, and human resources. These costs decreased $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to 2024. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative costs increased to 9.4% from 9.0%, with the increase primarily due to incremental business development costs.

Current wording

General and administrative costs are for those employees not directly providing services to our customers, to include but not limited to executive management, business development, accounting, and human resources. These costs decreased $0.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 as compared to 2024. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative costs increased to 11.3% from 8.9%, with the increase being primarily due to the decrease in revenue volume. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, we reduced general and administrative costs to align more closely with our expected revenue volume. The impact of the cost scaling initiatives is described in more detail in the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section.

Previous wording

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, depreciation and amortization expense were approximately $0.2 million and $4.1 million, respectively, as compared to approximately $0.2 million and $4.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.

Current wording

For the three months ended December 31, 2025, depreciation and amortization expense were approximately $0.2 million and $4.1 million, respectively, which was flat as compared with the three months ended December 31, 2024, respectively.

Previous wording

Interest expense, net, includes interest expense on the Company's term loan and amortization of deferred financing costs on debt obligations. Interest expense decreased $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 over 2024, primarily due to the prepayment of debt and a decrease in the floating interest rate.

Current wording

Interest expense, net, includes interest expense on the Company's term loan and amortization of deferred financing costs on debt obligations. Interest expense decreased $0.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 over 2024, primarily due to the prepayment of debt and a decrease in the floating interest rate.

Previous wording

On a non-GAAP basis, EBITDA for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was approximately $27.4 million and $31.3 million, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in revenue volume driven by conversion of certain VA and DoD contracts to small business contractors, partially offset by revenue from new contract awards.

Current wording

On a non-GAAP basis, EBITDA for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was approximately $5.7 million and $9.9 million and Adjusted EBITDA for such periods was $6.5 million and $9.9 million, respectively. The year over year decrease in both measures was primarily due to the decrease in revenue volume driven by conversion of certain VA and HHS contracts to small business contractors.

Previous wording

This non-GAAP measure of our performance is used by management to conduct and evaluate its business during its regular review of operating results for the periods presented. Management and our Board utilize this non-GAAP measure to make decisions about the use of our resources, analyze performance between periods, develop internal projections and measure management's performance. We believe that this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors in evaluating our ongoing operating and financial results and understanding how such results compare with our historical performance. By providing this non-GAAP measure as a supplement to GAAP information, we believe this enhances investors understanding of our business and results of operations. EBITDA is not a recognized measurement under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, and when analyzing our performance investors should (i) evaluate adjustments in our reconciliation to the nearest GAAP financial measures and (ii) use non-GAAP measures in addition to, and not as an alternative to, measures of our operating results as defined under GAAP.

Current wording

These non-GAAP measures of performance are used by management to conduct and evaluate its business during its review of operating results for the periods presented. Management and the Company's Board utilize these non-GAAP measures to make decisions about the use of the Company's resources, analyze performance between periods, develop internal projections and measure management performance. We have prepared Adjusted EBITDA to eliminate the impact of items that we do not consider indicative of ongoing operating performance due to their inherently unusual nature. We believe that these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors in evaluating the Company's ongoing operating and financial results and understanding how such results compare with the Company's historical performance.

Previous wording

Available borrowings under our revolving credit facility was approximately $15.1 million and $18.1 million for the periods ended June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively. The decrease is primarily due to a lower outstanding receivables balance at June 30, 2025.
