Previous wording

We generated 98% of our total revenues during each of the last three fiscal years from contracts with the U.S. government, either as a prime contractor or as a subcontractor to other companies performing prime contracts for the U.S. government. We expect to continue to derive substantially all of our revenues from work performed under U.S. government contracts. Our relationship with the U.S. government – particularly with DoD agencies – is key to maintaining these contracts, winning new work, and growing our revenues. Negative press reports or publicity, regardless of accuracy, could harm our reputation and jeopardize our business with our customers, potentially adversely affecting our revenues, cash flows, and financial results.

Previous wording

In addition, it is possible that an impasse on policy issues could threaten continuous government funding through September 30, 2025, or result in another federal government shutdown, which could cause us to incur labor or other costs without reimbursement under customer contracts or the delay or cancellation of key programs, and could adversely affect our operations, cash flows, and financial results.

In addition, it is possible that an impasse on policy issues could impact continuous government funding for the Department of Homeland Security through September 30, 2026, which could cause us to incur labor or other costs without reimbursement under customer contracts or the delay or cancellation of key programs, and could adversely affect our operations, cash flows, and financial results.

Previous wording

The U.S. government also conducts periodic reviews of U.S. defense strategies and priorities, which may shift DoD budgetary priorities, reduce overall spending or delay contract or task order awards for defense-related programs from which we would otherwise expect to derive a significant portion of our future revenues. A significant decline in overall U.S. government spending, a significant shift in spending priorities, the substantial reduction or elimination of defense-related programs or significant budget-related delays in contract or task order awards for large programs could adversely affect our future revenues and limit our growth prospects.

Previous wording

We generate revenues under several contract types, including cost-reimbursable, T&M, and FFP contracts. Under cost-reimbursable contracts, the government pays allowable costs incurred during performance of the contract plus a fee up to a ceiling based on the amount that has been funded. Cost, schedule, or technical performance issues on cost-reimbursable contracts could result in reduced fees, decreased profit, or program cancellation. Under T&M contracts, the government pays for the exact cost of all materials, plus a predetermined hourly rate for the labor involved. Under FFP contracts, the government pays a fixed price regardless of the actual costs of performance, meaning that we bear the risk of cost overruns, but we also have the opportunity for profit if we manage the program efficiently. Cost-reimbursable and T&M contracts are generally less profitable than FFP contracts. In fiscal 2025, approximately 16%, 22% and 62% of our total revenues came from FFP contracts, T&M and cost-reimbursable contracts, respectively.

Previous wording

Many of our U.S. government contracts contain organizational conflict of interest ("OCI") clauses that may limit our ability to compete for or perform certain other contracts or other types of services for particular customers. OCI arises when we engage in activities that may make us unable to render impartial assistance or advice to the U.S. government, impair our objectivity in performing contract work, or provide us with an unfair competitive advantage. Existing OCI, and any OCI that may develop, could preclude our competition for or performance on a significant project or contract, which could limit our opportunities.

Previous wording

In recent quarters, the U.S. government customer has increasingly focused on affordability, efficiencies, and cost recovery when contracting with private companies. The new Department of Government Efficiency (“DOGE”) is currently evaluating federal agencies and existing government contracts, grants, and programs for affordability, efficiency, and alignment with U.S. government objectives. DOGE’s efforts to reduce federal spending create uncertainty and risk for government contractors, including potentially resulting in change in budgetary priorities and timing on issuing awards. 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. At the same time, given the nature of our business, the administration’s focus on efficiency, along with the potential for certain traditionally government functions to be transferred to private entities, may present business opportunities for us.

Previous wording

Federal legislation, regulations, executive orders, and other initiatives dealing with, among other things, procurement reform, the mitigation of potential OCIs, the deterrence of fraud, the elimination of diversity, equity, and inclusion (“DEI”), and changes in corporate environmental obligations, could affect our business. Additionally, we are subject to the laws and regulations of the states in which we operate, which, at times, may conflict with federal laws and regulations, introducing ambiguity.

Current wording

Federal legislation, regulations, executive orders, and other initiatives dealing with, among other things, procurement reform, the mitigation of potential OCIs, the deterrence of fraud, the U.S. government taking ownership stakes in certain competitors, the threat of contract cancellation if timely performance is not met, the elimination of diversity, equity, and inclusion (“DEI”), and changes in corporate environmental obligations, could affect our business. A recent executive order was issued to limit stock buy-backs, dividends or other forms of corporate distribution if certain contractors underperform on critical defense supply contracts. We will continue to monitor to determine if this ultimately affects our future revenues, cash flows and profitability. Additionally, we are subject to the laws and regulations of the states in which we operate, which, at times, may conflict with federal laws and regulations, introducing ambiguity.

Previous wording

Recent executive orders relating to DEI and other social issues and “return-to-office” requirements, along with pending legal challenges, create uncertainty and may be temporarily unsettling for portions of our workforce. As always, we are committed to complying with all applicable laws and regulations, and we do not anticipate an adverse impact on our future operations and revenues related to these executive orders.

Previous wording

The FAR Council recently proposed significant revisions to the FAR related to OCIs, which, if adopted, could limit our ability to bid on certain contracts and/or require us to modify or restructure some business relationships. They could also impose additional compliance burdens and constraints on our business operations. Increased costs related to identifying, assessing, and mitigating OCI's could negatively impact our profitability.

An executive order was issued to overhaul the FAR, including simplifying the procurement process and potentially changing the criteria for cost allowability and compliance, which could negatively impact our profitability.

Previous wording

Similarly, recent executive orders related to energy and the environment suggest a shift towards deregulation at the federal level. Although deregulation initiatives could provide short-term relief from regulatory obligations, the executive orders introduce uncertainty and risk, including the potential for legal challenges and the possibility of new environmental policies at the state or local levels that may impose stricter regulations. We are actively monitoring and adapting to changes in environmental laws, assessing the physical risks posed by climate change, and implementing sustainability initiatives aimed at reducing the environmental impact of our operations. However, the full extent of these risks and their potential impact on our business remains uncertain and could materially affect its financial performance.

As of January 31, 2025, we have estimated $223 million of gross net operating loss carryforwards and gross tax basis in our acquired amortizable goodwill, as well as other intangible assets of approximately $1.0 billion. Net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes are subject to various annual limitations under Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code, which restricts a corporation’s ability to use such carryforwards and attributes following an ownership change.

Previous wording

We are subject to several lawsuits and claims described under “Legal Proceedings” in Part I, Item 3 of this report. We are also subject to, and may become a party to, a variety of other immaterial litigation or claims arising from time to time in the ordinary course of our business. The Department of Justice and other U.S. or foreign enforcement agencies may bring claims or lawsuits in connection with our performance of government contracts or our billing or record-keeping relating to those contracts. Although rare, government agencies can seek to suspend or debar government contractors they believe have engaged in misconduct. The government has considerably more resources at its disposal to pursue these matters than we do to defend ourselves against them, and certain statutes under which the Department of Justice may bring claims (like the False Claims Act) provide for treble damages and penalties on a per invoice basis. Consequently, the government generally has more leverage against us than a commercial plaintiff or other private party would have. Settlements or adverse judgments may result in significant monetary damages or injunctions, and litigation and claims could be costly to defend. Even if we are successful, fully indemnified, or insured, we could suffer damage to our reputation that impedes our ability to compete for work or obtain adequate insurance in the future. The outcome of litigation and other claims, including those described under “Legal Proceedings” in Part I, Item 3 of this report, is inherently uncertain, and management’s view of these matters may change in the future.

Previous wording

We deploy and integrate AI solutions for our business operations and for customers, including AI solutions that assist with the design, deployment, and management of AI applications that allow customers to work with their complex and sensitive data to power the most demanding analytics, data science, and AI use cases. These AI solutions may be vulnerable to misuse or cyberattack. Additionally, because this technology is developing so rapidly, we may be unable to keep up with new AI developments. We use some AI solutions that we develop and some that we obtain others from third parties. The development methods and algorithms of these solutions could be flawed, and the datasets could contain incorrect or biased information. Content or code generated by AI systems may be vulnerable to cyberattack, require human review, be unreliable, illegal, or offensive, and could result in the AI solution not working as intended. If we deploy AI solutions that have unintended consequences or are more controversial than we anticipate, our customers may seek redress, and we may experience reputational harm that could affect our business or financial results. Our use of AI solutions could be limited by, or subject to regulatory action or legal liability under, proposed rules or legislation regarding privacy, intellectual property, and other laws.

We rely on teaming relationships with other prime contractors and subcontractors to bids on large procurements and other opportunities when we believe the combination of services, products, and solutions we can offer with teammates will help us win and perform the contract. Our future revenues and growth could be adversely affected if our partners reduce or end their contract relationships with us, or if the U.S. government terminates or reduces programs of prime contractors to which we subcontract, does not award them new contracts, or refuses to pay under a contract. We may contract with subcontractors that do not have experience on U.S. government contracts or with our customers, providing them with the experience, relationships, and past performance to compete with us on future contracts and potential result in contract losses. If subcontractors fail to timely meet their contractual obligations or have regulatory compliance or other problems, our ability to fulfill our obligations as a prime contractor or higher tier subcontractor may be jeopardized.

Severe storms, increased precipitation and flooding, heat waves, forest fires, and other natural disasters tied to climate change could adversely affect our ability to execute our strategy and may disrupt our operations. Any climate event limiting our employees’ ability to work could potentially impair our capability to perform and meet our contractual obligations, address our customers’ needs, and ultimately win new business, all of which could adversely affect our business, financial position, results of operations, and/or cash flows. While we have a distributed workforce with employees working remotely across the U.S., we do have employees who, because of client requirements or contractual obligations, must work at specified locations. In these instances, if there were a severe weather event that impacted such a location, we might not be able to meet the client’s requirements or our contractual obligations. In the shorter term, a climate-related event could temporarily impede our ability to do the required work in person, produce operational or other unforeseen challenges, and in the longer term, threaten our performance of contracts, any of which could harm our business and its results.
