Previous wording
During the three months ended May 3, 2024, we generated 98% of our revenues from contracts with the U.S. government, including subcontracts on which we perform. Our business performance is affected by the overall level of U.S. government spending and the alignment of our offerings and capabilities with the budget priorities of the U.S. government. Appropriations measures passed in December 2022 provided full funding for the federal government through the end of government fiscal year ("GFY") 2023. In March 2024, the President signed appropriation measures that provide funding for GFY 2024 for all of the U.S. government and submitted the GFY 2025 budget request which adheres to the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023. The GFY 2025 budget includes 1% growth for defense budgets and an overall 1% growth for non-defense budgets. If Congress is not able to pass the GFY 2025 funding measures by the end of September 2024, it could result in the U.S. government operating on a continuing resolution or could potentially lead to a partial or full government shutdown.
