U.S. Government Markets

During both of the three months ended March 29, 2024, and March 31, 2023, we generated approximately 87% of total revenues from contracts with the U.S. government. Accordingly, our business performance is affected by the overall level of U.S. government spending, especially on national security, homeland security and intelligence, and the alignment of our service and product offerings and capabilities with current and future budget priorities of the U.S. government.

Congress avoided a government shutdown by passing two appropriations packages. The first package passed on March 8, 2024, included Agriculture-FDA, Energy-Water, Military Construction-VA, Transportation-HUD, Interior-Environment and Commerce-Justice-Science funding bills. The second package passed on March 23, 2024, included Defense, Financial Services, Homeland Security, Labor-HHS-Education, Legislative Branch, and State-Foreign Operations funding bills. In addition, the $7.3 trillion President’s budget was released on March 11, 2024, which is a 4.7% increase over the current budget and seeks to boost defense spending by 1% and non-defense discretionary spending by 2.4%. The spending complies with caps that House Republicans pushed in last year's Fiscal Responsibility Act in exchange for raising the debt limit. Congress will now focus on the government fiscal year ("GFY") 2025 appropriations bills before the GFY 2024 appropriations bills expire at the end of September 2024.

International Markets

Sales to customers in international markets represented approximately 8% of total revenues for both of the three months ended March 29, 2024, and March 31, 2023. Our international customers include foreign governments and their agencies. Our international business increases our exposure to international markets and the associated international regulatory and geopolitical risks.

Changes in international trade policies, including higher tariffs on imported goods and materials, may increase the procurement cost of certain IT hardware used both on our contracts and internally. However, we expect to recover certain portions of these higher tariffs through our cost-plus contracts. We are currently evaluating the impact of higher tariffs, and do not expect the tariffs to have a significant impact to our business.
