Current report
The Defense and Intelligence segment provides a diverse portfolio of national security solutions to the Department of Defense ("DoD") and Intelligence Community of the United States Government.
Current report
Under terms of the Fiscal Responsibility Act, a 1% sequestration is to be applied to all agencies operating under CRs past April 30, 2025.

Current report
Congress is currently working on a budget reconciliation package that will add new defense and border defense spending, among other provisions.
Current report
The new U.S. government administration is putting in place a number of executive orders and actions which could affect our business. In addition, the Department of Government Efficiency is driving changes in the structure and priorities of Federal agencies. Reductions in personnel, changes in agency alignment, and required reviews of new contracting activity are slowing new awards. Agencies are expected to conduct comprehensive reviews of existing and new contracting activity to identify potential efficiencies or nonalignment with new Administration priorities. SAIC contracts will be subject to these reviews. We have not experienced a material financial statement impact from recent executive orders or program cancellations across the government, however decreases in, or delays in contract awards and in government spending on the types of programs that we support, and terminations or stop-work-orders on government contracts on which we are currently performing could adversely affect our future revenues and profitability.

Previous report
Revenues decreased $66 million for the nine months ended November 1, 2024 as compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to the sale of the Supply Chain Business ($188 million) in the prior year (see Note 4—Divestitures), and contract completions.

Previous report
Our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended November 1, 2024 decreased compared to the same periods in the prior year due to the non-recurrence of a gain from the disposition of the Supply Chain Business and the associated non-deductible goodwill. In addition, the effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended November 1, 2024 benefited from the release of certain state liabilities for uncertain tax positions.

The five business groups represent our operating segments and have been aggregated intotwo reportable segments (Defense and Intelligence, and Civilian) given the similarity in economic and qualitative characteristics, and based on the nature of the customers they serve.

Our two reportable segments are the Defense and Intelligence segment and the Civilian segment.
Previous wording

Previous wording
During the three and nine months ended November 1, 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. In March 2024, the President signed appropriation measures that provide funding for government fiscal year ("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. In September 2024, the President signed a continuing resolution which will fund the U.S. government under GFY 2024 levels through December 2024. If Congress is not able to pass appropriations for GFY 2025 funding by December 2024, it could result in the U.S. government operating on additional continuing resolutions and/or could potentially lead to a partial or full government shutdown. In addition, if full-year appropriations are not signed into law by April 30, 2025, a 1% sequestration would be applied to all agencies.
Current wording
During the three months ended May 2, 2025, 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. In March 2025, the President signed a continuing resolution ("CR") that extends government funding through the close of government fiscal year ("GFY") 2025. The measure provides budget certainty for agencies through September 30, 2025. The CR also provides flexibility for new starts on programs at the DoD, which are typically not allowed under CRs.
Previous wording
In January 2023, the Federal debt ceiling was reached and the U.S. Department of the Treasury was operating under "extraordinary measures." In June 2023, the President signed the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023 which suspends the Federal debt ceiling until January 1, 2025, postponing the threat of a federal government default. If a new debt ceiling agreement is not reached by January 2025, the U.S. Department of the Treasury will return to operating under "extraordinary measures." Congressional debt limit brinksmanship can lead to negative impacts on our business, and any agreement to raise the ceiling that significantly reduces future funding could affect our addressable market in subsequent years.
Current wording

Failure to pass legislation surrounding the Federal debt ceiling could lead to negative impacts on our business, and any agreement to raise the ceiling that significantly reduces future funding could affect our addressable market in subsequent years.

Income Taxes. Our effective income tax rate was 15.6% and 17.8% for the three and nine months ended November 1, 2024, respectively, and 18.0% and 23.4% for the three and nine months ended November 3, 2023, respectively. Our effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate primarily due to the deduction for foreign derived intangible income, research and development tax credits, and stock-based compensation windfalls. The effective tax rate in the prior year further differed from the statutory tax rate due to a gain from the disposition of the Supply Chain Business and the associated non-deductible goodwill.
Current wording

Previous wording
In December 2021, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) enacted model rules for a new 15% global minimum tax framework (“Pillar Two”) which became effective in certain jurisdictions beginning in fiscal 2024. We do not anticipate Pillar Two to have a significant impact on our effective tax rate or our consolidated results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.

Adjusted operating income. Adjusted operating income is a performance measure that primarily excludes the impact of non-recurring transactions that we do not consider to be indicative of our ongoing operating performance. Adjusted operating income is calculated by taking operating income and excluding depreciation and amortization, acquisition and integration costs, impairments, restructuring costs, and any other material non-recurring costs. The acquisition and integration costs relate to the Company's acquisitions. The restructuring and impairment costs represent the reorganization and facilities optimization costs or impairments of long-lived assets. The recovery of acquisition and integration costs and restructuring and impairment costs relate to costs recovered through the Company's indirect rates in accordance with Cost Accounting Standards. Depreciation of property, plant, and equipment relates to property, plant, and equipment specifically identifiable for each segment. Adjusted operating income also excludes amortization of intangible assets because we do not have a history of significant acquisition activity, we do not acquire businesses on a predictable cycle, and the amount of an acquisition's purchase price allocated to intangible assets and the related amortization term are unique to each acquisition. We believe that these performance measures provide management and investors with useful information in assessing trends in our ongoing operating performance and may provide greater visibility in understanding the long-term financial performance of the Company.
