Current report
On April 30, 2026, the President signed an executive order, “Promoting Efficiency, Accountability, and Performance in Federal Contracting,” which directs federal agencies, subject to certain exceptions, to increase the use of firm-fixed price contracts for new awards to the maximum extent consistent with law. Additionally, agencies are directed, to the maximum extent practicable and consistent with law, to seek to modify, restructure, or renegotiate, their top ten highest-dollar-value contracts issued on an other-than-fixed price basis. The Company is supportive of the recent focus by the administration on the increased usage of fixed-price and outcomes-based contracting (we refer to firm fixed price contracts where we deliver a specific outcome for a predetermined price as “outcomes-based contracting”). Compared to time-and-materials and cost-reimbursable contracts, outcomes-based contracting generally offers higher margin opportunities because we receive the benefits of any cost savings, but can involve greater financial risk because we bear the impact of any cost overruns. Additionally, we believe outcomes-based contracting results in more efficient contracting outcomes and potential savings for the U.S. government.
Current report
Revenue decreased 4% to $2,800 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the prior year period. The decrease was primarily driven by the impact of slowed procurement which resulted in reduced headcount and billable expenses.
Current report
Interest expense, netincreased 9% for thethree months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to thethree months ended June 30, 2025, driven by decreases in interest income from lower cash balances and lower rates, partially offset by lower interest rates on the Company’s term loans.
Current report
Income tax expense increased 196% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. The effective tax rate increased to 21.1% from (25.5)% for the three month period. The increase in tax expense was primarily driven by an increase in pre-tax income and a decrease in the uncertain tax position reserve in the prior year that did not recur in the current period. See Note 9, “Income Taxes,” to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

Previous report
The administration is putting in place a number of Executive Orders and actions that have and could continue to affect our business. U.S. government agencies are also undertaking their own independent reviews of their contract portfolios and reviewing future procurements in response to recent Executive Orders focused on efficiency in government procurement. At the same time that the scrutiny is increasing, there have been reductions in personnel at U.S. government agencies with which we do business. These reductions in personnel, along with the changing regulatory environment, have led to a slowed procurement environment, with delays in the granting of new contract awards, increased willingness by agencies to not spend government money, delays in the processing of payments by government payment offices, as well as increased processing times for security clearances and other governmental consents. This slowed procurement environment has resulted in a substantial reduction in the ordinary end of government fiscal year funding surge when compared to prior fiscal years and, in the aggregate, has resulted in negative impacts to our business and financial performance.
Previous report
On November 12, 2025, the President signed into law the Continuing Appropriations, Agriculture, Legislative Branch, Military Construction and Veterans Affairs, and Extensions Act, 2026, which funded the U.S. government under a short-term continuing resolution through January 30, 2026. At this time, Congress has failed to approve additional appropriations to fund the U.S. government past that time, which could result in a government shutdown. A prolonged government shutdown could have a negative impact on our business, financial condition and operating results.
Previous report
Revenue decreased 10% to $2,620 million, and 6% to $8,434 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025 compared to the prior year period. The decrease was primarily driven by the impact of a slowed procurement and funding environment, including the government shutdown that occurred in the third quarter of fiscal 2026. These factors drove a decrease in headcount, as well as a decline in billable expenses. In addition, revenue was positively impacted in the prior year by $122 million representing the reduction to our provision for claimed costs recorded during the second quarter of fiscal 2025.
Previous report
General and administrative expenses include indirect labor of executive management and corporate administrative functions, marketing and bid and proposal costs, legal costs, and other discretionary spending. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue was 12% for both the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and 11% and 10% for the nine months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. General and administrative expenses decreased 7% and increased 6% for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, respectively, compared to the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024.
Previous report
Fiscal 2025 reflects $115 million in insurance recoveries from claims related to the Company’s fiscal 2024 settlement as described in Note 20, “Commitments and Contingencies,” to the consolidated financial statements contained within the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, which primarily drove the increase for the year-to-date period. This was partially offset by decreases in salaries and related benefits, primarily due to overall headcount reductions, which also drove the decrease for the quarter-to-date period.
Previous report
Interest expense, netincreased 12% and 10% for thethree and nine months ended December 31, 2025, respectively, as compared to thethree and nine months ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to increases of $10 million and $29 million in bond interest expense, respectively, driven by the $650 million Senior Notes due 2035 (issued in March of fiscal 2025). This was partially offset by lower interest rates on the Company’s term loans, as well as increases in interest income, reflecting the higher cash balances following the bond issuance noted above.
Previous report
Income tax expense decreased 121% and 104% for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024. The effective tax rate decreased to (7.0)% from 24.7% for the three month period and to (1.6)% from 24.0% for the nine month period. The decrease in tax expense was primarily driven by a reduction in the income tax reserve related to the completion of IRS examination procedures in the first quarter, the decrease in pre-tax income, and the tax benefit recognized in the third quarter as a result of a higher-than-estimated research and development tax credit and additional foreign derived intangible income deductions.

Previous wording
The U.S. government is driving changes in the structure and priorities of U.S. government agencies and the U.S. government is currently in the process of reviewing spending across U.S. government agencies to ensure it aligns with the administration’s priorities of maximizing governmental efficiency and productivity. We have been, and will continue to be, subject to these reviews, and we have had, and may in the future have, certain of our contracts impacted, reduced or canceled as a result of these reviews. We have also experienced price adjustments and renegotiations prior to option exercise of certain of our contracts as a result of these reviews and may in the future continue to experience such adjustments. Further, we are, and may in the future be, subject to customer mandates to formulate additional methods by which to achieve efficiencies in providing our services, and we remain in ongoing discussions with various U.S. government departments and agencies in relation to cost reductions and other potential contract modifications. There can be no assurance that these reviews will not ultimately have a material adverse impact on our business and financial performance.

We have observed preparatory steps by the U.S. government to implement two specific Executive Orders that are intended to (i) simplify and accelerate the procurement process through a review and restructuring of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (“FAR”), and its supplements and (ii) modernize defense acquisitions by promoting commercial solutions, innovative acquisition authorities, and other existing streamlined processes. The FAR Council, the body responsible for issuing and maintaining the FAR, completed the preliminary stage of FAR reform efforts at the end of September 2025. The Office of Federal Procurement Policy and FAR Council have solicited feedback on these efforts and will turn next to the formal rulemaking process. Likewise, in early November 2025, the Secretary of War announced and released an associated memorandum regarding a new acquisition strategy and directing certain reforms addressing Department of Defense purchases of military weapons. The Secretary’s accompanying memorandum and strategy outline a number of actions focused on rebuilding the Defense Industrial Base, elevating and empowering the acquisition workforce, maximizing acquisition flexibility, developing high performance systems, and improving effective lifecycle risk management. While the impact of the aforementioned changes remains uncertain, the new acquisition strategy and streamlined procurement processes have the potential to have positive impacts on our business.

The FAR Council, the body responsible for issuing and maintaining the FAR, completed Phase 1 of FAR reform efforts and moved into Phase II of such efforts in June 2026. The formal rulemaking process remains ongoing, with only a portion of formal rules issued; however, proposed rules include changes that formalize the FAR's deviation-based approach and make certain streamlining shifts, as well as incorporating a number of other pending rules. Previously, in early November 2025, the Secretary of War announced and released an associated memorandum regarding a new acquisition strategy and directing certain reforms addressing Department of War purchases of military weapons.

Previous wording
On December 18, 2025, the National Defense Authorization Act was signed into law, which included a number of reforms that may also impact our business. Although the final bill did not adopt more narrow commercial preferences or expand the statutory definition of contractors who qualify as nontraditional contractors, it did exempt contractors who meet that definition from certain burdensome compliance requirements. The continued focus on removing barriers to new entrants and any related future legislation could reduce the likelihood of direct awards to companies like Booz Allen and effect our competitive position.

Previous wording
On January 7, 2026, President Trump signed an Executive Order, “Prioritizing the Warfighter in Defense Contracting” (the “Executive Order”), that, among other things, limits stock buybacks and the payment of dividends by certain defense contractors. The Executive Order directs the Secretary of War to identify defense contractors that are underperforming on their contracts, not investing their own capital into necessary production capacity, not sufficiently prioritizing United States Government contracts, or whose production speed is insufficient as determined by the Secretary, and that have, during the period of underperformance or insufficient prioritization, investment, or production speed, engaged in any stock buy-back or corporate distribution. If the Company is identified pursuant to the Executive Order, it may have a negative impact on our dividends, stock buyback programs, and our ability to attract and retain talented executives.

This executive order directs the Secretary of War to identify defense contractors that are underperforming on their contracts, not investing their own capital into necessary production capacity, not sufficiently prioritizing United States Government contracts, or whose production speed is insufficient as determined by the Secretary, and that have, during the period of underperformance or insufficient prioritization, investment, or production speed, engaged in any stock buy-back or corporate distribution. If the Company is identified pursuant to this executive order, it may have a negative impact on our dividends, stock buyback programs, and our ability to attract and retain talented executives. Compliance with the requirements of this executive order may be complex, costly and time-consuming, and our subcontractors may not have the necessary resources to ensure compliance. In addition, in March 2026, certain Senators introduced the Warfighter in Defense Contracting Act of 2026, which would codify and go beyond this executive order by instituting, absent a waiver, a blanket prohibition on such dividends, buybacks, and executive compensation above certain levels. In addition, the Senate Armed Services Committee’s version of the NDAA for Fiscal Year 2027 includes a related provision that would require contractors to submit a qualified defense investment plan to increase production capacity or otherwise face restrictions on stockholder distributions. These proposed legislations far exceed the framework contemplated by the executive order and would introduce significant administrative burdens for us and other companies that could be subject to such legislation.

Our total backlog consists of contractual values which is inclusive of remaining performance obligations, unexercised option periods and other unexercised optional orders. As of December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the Company had $10.5 billion and $9.5 billion of remaining performance obligations, respectively, and we expect to recognize approximately 65% of the remaining performance obligations as of December 31, 2025 as revenue over the next 12 months, and approximately 70% over the next 24 months. The remainder is expected to be recognized thereafter. We also expect to recognize revenue from a substantial portion of funded backlog as of December 31, 2025, within the next twelve months. However, given the uncertainties discussed below, as well as the risks described in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, we can give no assurance that we will be able to convert our performance obligations or funded backlog into revenue in any particular period, if at all. Our backlog includes orders under contracts that in some cases extend for several years. The U.S. Congress generally appropriates funds for our customers on a yearly basis, even though their contracts with us may call for performance that is expected to take a number of years to complete. As a result, contracts typically are only partially funded at any point during their term and all or some of the work to be performed under the contracts may remain unfunded unless and until the U.S. Congress makes subsequent appropriations and the procuring agency allocates funding to the contract.

We view growth in total backlog as a key measure of our potential business growth. Total backlog increased by 2% from December 31, 2024 to December 31, 2025. Additions to funded backlog during the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 totaled $11.0 billion and $11.8 billion, respectively, as a result of the conversion of unfunded backlog to funded backlog, the award of new contracts and task orders under which funding was appropriated, and the exercise and subsequent funding of priced options.
Current wording
We view growth in total backlog as a key measure of our potential business growth. Total backlog increased by 3% from June 30, 2025 to June 30, 2026.

Previous wording
We cannot predict with any certainty the portion of our backlog that we expect to recognize as revenue in any future period and we cannot guarantee that we will recognize any revenue from our backlog. The primary risks that could affect our ability to recognize such revenue on a timely basis or at all include contract modifications, including reductions in contract value, a reduction in U.S. government spending, whether due to cost cutting initiatives or other efforts to reduce spending, delayed funding of our contracts, and the other risks and factors listed under “—U.S. Budgetary and Regulatory Environment” in this Quarterly Report, as well as those listed under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2025. In addition, the amount of our funded backlog is also subject to change due to these factors. In our recent experience, the slowed procurement environment and reductions in contract value have had a negative effect on our ability to convert backlog to revenue as of December 31, 2025, and could have additional impacts in the future to our business and financial performance.

Cost of revenue includes direct labor, related employee benefits, and overhead. Overhead consists of indirect costs, including indirect labor relating to infrastructure, management and administration, and other expenses. Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue was 48% and 45% for both the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Cost of revenue decreased 4% for the three months ended December 31, 2025, and remained flat for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024. The decrease for the quarter-to-date period was primarily due to decreases in salaries and related benefits due to overall headcount reductions.
Current wording
Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue was 48% and 49% for the three June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Cost of revenue decreased 6% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease for the quarter-to-date period was primarily due to decreases in salaries and related benefits due to overall headcount reductions. The prior year also included$30 million in costs related to employee severance and related charges, not present in the current year.
Previous wording
Billable expenses include direct subcontractor expenses, travel expenses, and other expenses incurred to perform on contracts. Billable expenses as a percentage of revenue were 30% and 32% for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and 31% and 32% for the nine months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Billable expenses decreased 18% and 10% for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, respectively, compared to the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024. The decreases were primarily attributable to decreases in the use of subcontractors driven by customer demand and timing of customer needs, partially offset by increases in other direct expenses as compared to the prior year.

We publicly disclose certain non-GAAP financial measurements, including Revenue, Excluding Billable Expenses, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, because management uses these measures for business planning purposes, including to manage our business against internal projected results of operations and measure our performance. We view Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of our core operating business, which excludes the impact of the items detailed below, as these items are generally not operational in nature. These non-GAAP measures also provide another basis for comparing period to period results by excluding potential differences caused by non-operational and unusual or non-recurring items. In addition, we use Revenue, Excluding Billable Expenses because it provides management useful information about the Company's operating performance by excluding the impact of costs such as subcontractor expenses, travel expenses, and other non-labor expenses incurred to perform on contracts. Billable expenses generally have lower margin and thus are less indicative of our profit generation capacity. Management believes this metric provides useful information about our business. These supplemental performance measurements may vary from and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures by other companies in our industry. Revenue, Excluding Billable Expenses, EBITDAand Adjusted EBITDA are not recognized measurements under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and when analyzing our performance, investors should (i) evaluate each adjustment in our reconciliation of revenue to Revenue, Excluding Billable Expenses, net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, and (ii) use Revenue, Excluding Billable Expenses, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in addition to, and not as an alternative to, revenue and net income, as measures of operating results, each as defined under GAAP.
