Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Amentum Holdings, Inc. unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and the notes thereto, and other data contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The following discussion and analysis should also be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements, and notes thereto, and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 3, 2025. In addition, please see “Information Relating to Forward-Looking Statements” and “Item 1A. Risk Factors” within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of the risks, uncertainties and assumptions associated with these statements.

References to “Amentum”, the “Company”, “we”, “our” or “us” refer to Amentum Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries unless otherwise stated or indicated by context.

Overview

We are a global advanced engineering and technology solutions provider to a broad base of U.S. and allied government agencies, and customers in international and commercial markets, supporting programs of critical national importance across energy and environmental, intelligence, space, defense, civilian and commercial end-markets. We offer a broad reach of capabilities including energy, environmental remediation, intelligence and counter threat solutions, data fusion and analytics, engineering and integration, advanced test, training and readiness, and citizen solutions. As a leading provider of differentiated technology solutions, we have built a repertoire of deep customer knowledge, enabling us to engage our customers across multiple capabilities and markets. Underpinned by a strong culture of ethics and safety, Amentum is committed to operational excellence and successful execution.

We conduct our business activities and report financial results as two reportable segments: Digital Solutions (“DS”) and Global Engineering Solutions (“GES”). The DS segment provides advanced digital and data-driven solutions including intelligence analytics, space system development, cybersecurity, and next generation IT across the federal government and commercial clients. The GES segment provides large-scale environmental remediation, nuclear power solutions, platform engineering, sustainment and supply chain management across all seven continents for the U.S. government and allied nations. The

18

presentation of financial results as two reportable segments is consistent with the way the Company operates its business and the manner in which our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), currently our Chief Executive Officer, manages the operations of the Company for purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance.

Budgetary and Regulatory Environment

In fiscal year 2025, we generated approximately 81% of our revenues from contracts with the U.S. federal government, either as a prime contractor or a subcontractor to other contractors engaged in work for the U.S. federal government. We carefully follow the U.S. federal budget, legislative and contracting trends and activities and evolve our strategies accordingly.

Following a government shutdown from October 2, 2025 to November 12, 2025 and a partial government shutdown from January 31, 2026 to February 3, 2026, final appropriations legislation for the U.S. federal government fiscal year (“GFY”) 2026 was passed on February 3, 2026, excluding the Department of Homeland Security which was shutdown on February 14, 2026, following the expiration of a continuing resolution (“CR”). On April 30, 2026, GFY 2026 funding for the Department of Homeland Security was passed, ending the partial shutdown. The final bill provided $900 billion for defense discretionary spending and $700 billion for non-defense discretionary spending. In April 2026, the GFY 2027 budget request was submitted to Congress, which, as compared to GFY 2026 enacted levels, would increase defense discretionary spending by $250 billion to $1.15 trillion and reduce non-defense discretionary spending by $25 billion to $675 billion. Additionally, the budget request assumes an increase in defense spending based on the defense reconciliation legislation currently pending in Congress, which would result in total GFY 2027 defense spending of $1.5 trillion, an increase of 43% from the GFY 2026 enacted level. While we view the budget environment as constructive and believe core funding sources for our primary customer-based markets will continue to experience bipartisan tailwinds, there can be no certainty about the level of funding for any particular GFY or that appropriations bills will be passed in a timely manner. During those periods of time when appropriations bills have not been passed and signed into law, government agencies operate under a CR, a temporary measure allowing the government to continue operations at prior year funding levels. Depending on their scope, duration, and other factors, CRs can negatively impact our business due to delays in new program starts, delays in contract awards decisions, and other factors.

We continue to monitor the actions of the administration which could result in a change to budgetary priorities or impact federal government procurement timing. Although a limited number of our contracts for the U.S. Government have been affected by changes in budgetary priorities by the administration, the impact has not been material to date. Decreases in, or delays in approving, the federal government’s budget, decreases in government spending on the types of programs that we support, delays in government contract awards, and pauses on government contracts on which we are currently performing could have an adverse impact on our business.

For a discussion of risks, see Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors in this Report and Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Fiscal Year 2025 Form 10-K.

Market Environment

We believe our scale, breadth of capabilities, and depth of experience give us a robust understanding of our customers’ evolving needs. Given our portfolio diversity, we believe our total addressable market, and associated growth rate, is sufficient to support our strategic growth plans.

We believe Amentum’s capabilities are strategically aligned to well-funded, long-term priorities for the federal government, allied nations, and commercial customers. Specifically, we believe we are well positioned to continue to win new business driven by the following trends in our addressable market:

•Increasing demand for outsourced services and solutions with federal government customers;

•Increased global demand for reliable power sources and nuclear energy;

•Increased spending on government-wide modernization priorities;

•Increasing government focus on near-peer competitors and other nation state threats;

•Increasing discretionary spending for homeland security and regional activities in the Western hemisphere;

•Increasing discretionary spending for Indo-Pacific regional activities and initiatives;

•Increasing discretionary spending to improve the readiness of the defense industrial base; and

•Increased investment in advanced technologies (e.g., hypersonics, microelectronics, unmanned, electromagnetic spectrum).

Revenues — The decrease in revenues was primarily attributable to the transition of certain contracts from consolidated to unconsolidated joint ventures and fiscal year 2025 divestitures partially offset by the net impact of the expected ramp-down of historical programs and the ramp up of new contract awards and growth on existing programs.

Cost of revenues — The increase in cost of revenues was primarily attributable to the timing of expenses. As a percentage of revenues, cost of revenues was 90.1% for the three months ended April 3, 2026 compared to 89.5% for the three months ended March 28, 2025.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) — The decrease in SG&A was primarily attributable to synergies arising from the merger of the Jacobs Solutions Inc. (“Jacobs”) Critical Mission Solutions business and portions of the Jacobs Divergent Solutions business (and, together with the Critical Mission Solutions business, referred to as “CMS”). SG&A as a percentage of revenues decreased to 3.6% for the three months ended April 3, 2026 from 4.2% for the three months ended March 28, 2025 primarily due to the reduction in SG&A discussed above.

Amortization of intangibles — Amortization of intangibles primarily relates to the amortization of our backlog and customer relationship intangible assets, which decreased due to the full amortization of backlog associated with the CMS merger in the prior year.

Equity earnings of non-consolidated subsidiaries — Equity earnings of non-consolidated subsidiaries include our proportionate share of the income from equity method investments partially offset by the utilization of fair market value adjustments assigned to certain equity method investments based on the remaining period of performance for the related contract and increased primarily due to the transition of certain contracts from consolidated to unconsolidated joint ventures.

Interest expense and other, net — The decrease in interest expense and other, net was primarily due to the reduction to our term loan principal balance as compared to the three months ended March 28, 2025.

Provision for income taxes — The effective tax rate for the three months ended April 3, 2026 was 30.8%, as compared to 91.7% for the three months ended March 28, 2025. The change in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the recognition of a valuation allowance against a disallowed interest expense deferred tax asset relative to income before income taxes in the respective period.

Net income attributable to non-controlling interests — Net income attributable to non-controlling interests includes the utilization of fair market value adjustments assigned to certain non-controlling interests based on the remaining period of performance for the related contract partially offset by the minority interests in our consolidated joint ventures that are not wholly-owned and was consistent with the three months ended March 28, 2025.

We carefully follow the U.S. federal budget, legislative and contracting trends and activities and evolve our strategies accordingly.

In May 2025, the President’s U.S. federal government fiscal year (“GFY”) 2026 budget request was submitted to Congress. As compared to the GFY 2025 budget, the GFY 2026 budget request maintained defense discretionary spending at $892 billion, reduced non-defense discretionary spending by approximately 21% to $557 billion, and increased GFY 2026 defense spending to $1.01 trillion, an increase of 13% from the GFY 2025 enacted level. Final appropriations legislation for GFY 2026 was not passed as of October 1, 2025, the first day of GFY 2026, and the federal government shut down most agencies of the federal government until November 12, 2025, when a continuing resolution was passed to reopen the federal government and provide funding through January 30, 2026. While we view the budget environment as constructive and believe core funding sources for our primary customer-based markets will continue to experience bipartisan tailwinds, there can be no certainty about the level of funding for any particular GFY or that appropriations bills will be passed in a timely manner. During those periods of time when appropriations bills have not been passed and signed into law, government agencies operate under a continuing resolution (“CR”), a temporary measure allowing the government to continue operations at prior year funding levels. Depending on their scope, duration, and other factors, CRs can negatively impact our business due to delays in new program starts, delays in contract awards decisions, and other factors.

Under the Trump administration, the Department of Government Efficiency was created, the One Big, Beautiful Bill Act was passed which made certain tax cuts permanent, reduced healthcare spending and increased spending related to border security, defense, NASA and energy production, and the U.S. Government is in the process of, or has announced its intent to, increase

current tariffs, impose additional tariffs, and expand tariffs on goods imported from various countries into the United States. We continue to monitor the actions of the administration which could result in a change to budgetary priorities or impact federal government procurement timing. Although a limited number of our contracts for the U.S. Government have been affected by changes in budgetary priorities by the administration, the impact has not been material to date. Decreases in, or delays in approving, the federal government’s budget, decreases in government spending on the types of programs that we support, delays in government contract awards, and pauses on government contracts on which we are currently performing could have an adverse impact on our business.

Results of Operations October 3, 2025 vs September 27, 2024

Revenues — The increase in revenues was primarily attributable to revenues from the merger with CMS.

Cost of revenues — The increase in cost of revenues was primarily attributable to the increased revenues volume from the merger with CMS. As a percentage of revenues, cost of revenues was 89.5% and 90.5% for the years ended October 3, 2025 and September 27, 2024, respectively.

45

Selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) — The increase in SG&A was primarily attributable to the merger with CMS. SG&A as a percentage of revenues increased to 4.3% for the year ended October 3, 2025 from 4.2% for the year ended September 27, 2024 primarily due to the merger with CMS and an increase in acquisition, transaction and integration costs.

Amortization of intangibles — Amortization of intangibles primarily relates to the amortization of our backlog and customer relationship intangible assets, which increased due to the merger with CMS.

Equity earnings of non-consolidated subsidiaries — Equity earnings of non-consolidated subsidiaries include our proportionate share of the income from equity method investments and decreased due to utilization of fair market value adjustments assigned to certain equity method investments obtained in the merger with CMS partially offset by the performance of our non-consolidated subsidiaries.

Interest expense and other, net — The decrease in interest expense and other, net was primarily due to the reduction to our Term Loan principal balance as compared to the year ended September 27, 2024 combined with a decrease in interest rates, partially offset by the interest incurred on our Senior Notes during the fiscal year ended October 3, 2025.

Loss on extinguishment of debt — The loss on extinguishment of debt for the year ended October 3, 2025 was due to $722 million of voluntary principal payments on the Term Loan. The loss on extinguishment of debt for the year ended September 27, 2024 was due to a loss on the debt modification of $14 million and debt issuance costs of $31 million.

Gain on acquisition of controlling interest — The gain on acquisition of controlling interest was primarily due to the acquisition of a joint venture which was accounted for as a business combination achieved in stages, in which the Company’s previously held equity interest in the joint venture was remeasured to fair value, resulting in a gain of $69 million during the fiscal year ended September 27, 2024.

(Provision) benefit for income taxes — The effective tax rate for the year ended October 3, 2025 was 48.7%, as compared to 32.5% for the year ended September 27, 2024. The change in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the recognition of a valuation allowance against a deferred tax asset related to disallowed interest expense, release of a valuation allowance related to domestic capital losses, and the tax effect of the Rapid Solutions divestiture during the year ended October 3, 2025.

Net income attributable to non-controlling interests — Net income attributable to non-controlling interests includes the utilization of fair market value adjustments assigned to certain non-controlling interests obtained in the merger with CMS partially offset by the minority interests in our consolidated joint ventures that are not wholly-owned.

Results of Operations September 27, 2024 vs September 29, 2023

Revenues — The increase in revenues was primarily attributable to new contract awards and growth on existing programs.

Cost of revenues — The increase in cost of revenues was primarily driven by increased revenue volume. As a percentage of revenues, cost of revenues was 90.5% and 90.1% for the years ended September 27, 2024 and September 29, 2023, respectively.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses — SG&A as a percentage of revenues increased from 3.8% for the year ended September 29, 2023 to 4.2% for the year ended September 27, 2024 primarily due to an increase in acquisition, transaction and integration costs.

Amortization of intangibles — Amortization of intangibles primarily relates to the amortization of our backlog and customer relationship intangible assets, which decreased as a result of the accelerated method of amortization utilized to amortize our intangibles which best approximates the proportion of the future cash flows estimated to be generated in each period over the estimated useful life of the applicable asset.

Equity earnings of non-consolidated subsidiaries — Equity earnings of non-consolidated subsidiaries include our proportionate share of the income from equity method investments and increased due to performance and operational efficiencies during the year ended September 27, 2024.

Goodwill impairment charges — In the fiscal year ended September 27, 2024, we completed our annual goodwill impairment test and concluded that no impairment charge was necessary as a result of this assessment. During the fiscal year ended September 29, 2023, we performed goodwill impairment tests which concluded that the carrying value of certain reporting units exceeded fair value. As a result, a non-cash impairment charge of $186 million was recognized during the year ended September 29, 2023.

Interest expense and other, net — The increase in interest expense and other, net was primarily due to an increase in interest rates on our variable rate debt and a reduced benefit from our interest rate swaps.

Loss on extinguishment of debt — The loss on extinguishment of debt was due to a loss on the debt modification of $14 million and debt issuance costs of $31 million during the fiscal year ended September 27, 2024.

46

Gain on acquisition of controlling interest — The gain on acquisition of controlling interest was primarily due to the acquisition of a joint venture which was accounted for as a business combination achieved in stages, in which the Company’s previously held equity interest in the joint venture was remeasured to fair value, resulting in a gain of $69 million during the fiscal year ended September 27, 2024.

Benefit for income taxes — The effective tax rate for the year ended September 27, 2024 was 32.5%, as compared to 5.6% for the year ended September 29, 2023. The change in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the partial release of a valuation allowance against a deferred tax asset related to disallowed interest expense during the year ended September 27, 2024 and the impact of goodwill impairment charges recognized during the year ended September 29, 2023 that are nondeductible for income tax purposes.

Net (loss) income attributable to non-controlling interests — Net income attributable to non-controlling interests include the minority interests in our consolidated joint ventures that are not wholly-owned, which decreased due to performance on certain consolidated joint ventures and the completion of certain contracts.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

47

We include the presentation and discussion of Adjusted EBITDA, which is not a measure of financial performance under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Adjusted EBITDA should be considered only as supplement to and should not be considered in isolation or used as a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management of the Company believes Adjusted EBITDA, when read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and the reconciliation herein to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, provides useful information to management, investors and other users of the Company’s financial information in evaluating operating results and understanding operating trends by adjusting for the effects of items we do not consider to be indicative of the Company’s ongoing performance, the inclusion of which can obscure underlying trends. Additionally, management of the Company uses Adjusted EBITDA in its evaluation of business performance, particularly when comparing performance to past periods, and believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful for investors because it facilitates a comparison of financial results from period to period. The computation of a non-GAAP measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies, thus limiting their use for comparability.

Adjusted EBITDA

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders adjusted for interest expense and other, net, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and certain discrete items that are not considered in the evaluation of ongoing operating performance. These discrete items include acquisition, transaction, and integration costs, non-cash gains and losses, loss on extinguishment of debt, utilization of certain fair market value adjustments assigned in purchase accounting, and stock-based compensation. While we believe Adjusted EBITDA is a useful metric in evaluating operating performance by allowing better evaluation of underlying segment performance and better period-to-period comparability, it is not a metric defined by GAAP and may not be comparable to non-GAAP metrics presented by other companies. For a reconciliation of net income (loss), the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, to adjusted EBITDA for the years ended October 3, 2025, September 27, 2024 and September 29, 2023, see Note 18 — Segment Information in Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Backlog

The Company's backlog represents the estimated amount of future revenues to be recognized under negotiated contracts. The Company’s backlog includes unexercised option years and excludes the value of task orders that may be awarded under multiple award indefinite delivery / indefinite quantity (“IDIQ”) vehicles until such task orders are issued.

The Company’s backlog is either funded or unfunded:

•Funded backlog represents contract value for which funding is appropriated less revenues previously recognized on the contract.

•Unfunded backlog represents estimated values that have the potential to be recognized as revenues from negotiated contracts for which funding has not been appropriated and from unexercised contract options.

As of October 3, 2025, the Company had total backlog of $47.1 billion, compared with $45.0 billion as of September 27, 2024, an increase of $2.1 billion primarily due to new contract awards partially offset by revenue recognized during the year ended October 3, 2025. Funded backlog as of October 3, 2025 was $5.6 billion.

The Company's backlog, by reportable segment and in total, consisted of the following (in millions):

Effects of Inflation

Given the nature of our operations and contract type mix, we expect the impact of inflation on our business may be limited for some of our contracts. During the fiscal year ended October 3, 2025, 63% of our revenues was generated under cost-plus-fee type contracts that have limited inflation risk as they include provisions that adjust revenues to cover costs affected by inflation. The remainder of our revenues was generated under time-and-materials or fixed-price type contracts which we have historically been able to price in a manner that accommodates inflation and cost increases over the period of performance but changes in our expectations with respect to inflation rates or in the overall mix of our contract types could cause future results to differ substantially.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Existing cash and cash equivalents and cash generated by operations are our primary sources of liquidity, as well as sales of receivables under our Master Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement (“MARPA”) and available borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility provided for in the senior secured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”).

The Credit Facility consists of our term facility (“Term Loan”) maturing on September 27, 2031 and a $850 million revolving facility (“Revolver”) maturing on September 27, 2029, which includes a $200 million letter of credit subfacility and a $100 million swingline subfacility. The Term Loan requires quarterly principal amortization payments of $9 million, which commenced on March 31, 2025, with the remainder of the principal thereunder being due at maturity. In August 2024, the Company also completed an offering of $1,000 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.250% senior notes due August 1, 2032 (the “Senior Notes”).

The Credit Facility and the Senior Notes are guaranteed by substantially all of our wholly owned material domestic restricted subsidiaries, subject to customary exceptions set forth in the credit agreement and indenture, respectively.

The interest rates applicable to the Term Loan are floating interest rates equal to an Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus an applicable margin based upon our net leverage ratio.

Each of the credit agreement and indenture requires us to comply with certain representations and warranties, customary affirmative and negative covenants and, in the case of the Revolver, under certain circumstances, a financial covenant. We were in compliance with all covenants as of October 3, 2025 and September 27, 2024.

We believe that the combination of internally generated funds, available bank borrowings, and cash and cash equivalents on hand will provide the required liquidity and capital resources necessary to fund on-going operations, capital expenditures, scheduled principal and interest payments on our debt obligations, scheduled lease payments, and other working capital requirements over at least the next twelve months.

On June 26, 2025, we completed the sale of a hardware and product business, Rapid Solutions, to Lockheed Martin Corporation for a purchase price of $360 million in cash.

As part of our debt reduction initiatives, we made voluntary principal payments on the Term Loan of approximately $191 million, $250 million and $281 million on June 27, 2025, July 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, respectively. Over the longer term, our ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations necessary to fulfill the obligations under the Credit Facility, Senior Notes and any other indebtedness we may incur will depend on our future financial performance which could be affected by factors outside of our control, including, but not limited to, worldwide economic and financial market conditions.

See “Note 7 — Sales of Receivables” and “Note 12 — Debt” in Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.

Cash Flows - October 3, 2025 vs September 27, 2024

Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $496 million when compared to the year ended September 27, 2024 primarily as a result of a $542 million increase in cash earnings due to contributions from the merger with CMS and offset by $46 million in changes in operating assets and liabilities.

Net cash provided by investing activities decreased by $247 million when compared to the year ended September 27, 2024 primarily as a result of the change in cash flows associated with the merger with CMS, partially offset by cash received from divestitures in the year ended October 3, 2025.

Net cash used in financing activities increased by $408 million when compared to the year ended September 27, 2024 primarily due to increased principal payments on our Term Loan partially offset by financing activities completed in the year ended September 27, 2024 associated with the merger with CMS.

Cash Flows - September 27, 2024 vs September 29, 2023

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $20 million primarily as a result of the Transaction and debt modification and higher tax and interest payments, partially offset by cash inflows from sales of receivables under the MARPA.

Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $492 million primarily as a result of the merger with CMS in the year ended September 27, 2024.

Net cash used in financing activities increased by $270 million primarily as a result of repayment of the prior first and second lien credit agreements partially offset by proceeds from the borrowings under the Term Loan and Senior Notes, and a capital contribution provided in connection with the Transaction.

Divestiture

On June 26, 2025, we completed the sale of a hardware and product business, Rapid Solutions, to Lockheed Martin Corporation for a purchase price of $360 million in cash. Rapid Solutions was part of the DS segment.

Contractual Obligations

For a description of the Company’s contractual obligations related to debt, pensions, leases, and retirement plans refer to “Note 10 — Retirement Plans”, “Note 12 — Debt” and “Note 14 — Leases” in Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is involved in various claims, disputes, lawsuits, investigations, audits, administrative proceedings and similar matters arising in the normal course of business. Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from such matters and other sources are recorded when it is probable that an unfavorable result and/or liability will be incurred and the cost of the unfavorable result or liability can be reasonably estimated. Management is of the opinion that any liability or loss associated with such matters, either individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations and liquidity.

For a discussion of these items, refer to “Note 21 — Legal Proceedings and Commitments and Contingencies” in Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions to determine reported amounts of certain assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of related contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates and assumptions are based on information available at the time of the estimates or assumptions, including our historical experience, where relevant. Significant estimates and assumptions are reviewed quarterly by management. The evaluation process includes a thorough review of key estimates and assumptions used in preparing our financial statements. Because of the uncertainty of factors surrounding the estimates, assumptions and judgments used in the preparation of our financial statements, actual results may materially differ from the estimates.

50

Our critical accounting policies and estimates are those policies and estimates that are both most important to our financial condition and results of operations and require the most difficult, subjective or complex judgments on the part of management in their application, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.

We believe the following accounting policies require significant judgment due to the complex nature of the underlying transactions:

Revenue Recognition

Our services are generally performed under cost-plus-fee, fixed-price, or time-and-materials contracts which typically involve an annual base period of performance followed by renewal option periods that, once exercised, are generally accounted for as separate contracts.

The transaction price is the estimated amount of fixed and variable consideration we expect to receive for performance of our contracts. Variable consideration is typically in the form of award or incentive fees or a combination thereof. Variable consideration is generally based upon various objective and subjective criteria, such as meeting performance or cost targets. These estimates are based on historical award experience, anticipated performance and our best judgment based on current facts and circumstances. Management continuously monitors these factors that may affect the quality of its estimates, and material changes in estimates are disclosed accordingly. Variable consideration is included in the estimated transaction price, to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenues recognized will not occur, and there is a basis to reasonably estimate the amount of variable consideration.

The Company generally recognizes revenues over time throughout the contract performance period as control is transferred continuously to our customers as work progresses. We measure our progress towards completion using an input measure of total costs incurred divided by total costs expected to be incurred.

Revenues on cost-plus-fee contracts are recorded as contract allowable costs are incurred and fees are earned. Revenues are recognized over time using costs incurred to date relative to total estimated costs at completion to measure progress toward satisfying our performance obligations.

Revenues on fixed-price contracts are recorded as work is performed over the period of performance. Revenues are recognized over time using costs incurred to date relative to total estimated costs at completion to measure progress toward satisfying our performance obligations. Incurred cost represents work performed, which corresponds with the transfer of control to the customer. For such contracts, we estimate total costs at the inception of the contract based on our assumptions of the cost elements required to complete the associated tasks of the contract and assess the impact of the risks on our estimates of total costs to complete the contract. Our cost estimates are based on assumptions that include our employee labor costs, the cost of materials, and the performance of our subcontractors. These cost estimates are subject to change as we perform under the contract and as a result, the timing of revenues and amount of profit on a contract may change as there are changes in estimated costs to complete the contract. Such adjustments are recognized on a cumulative catch-up basis in the period we identify the changes. If total expected costs exceed total estimated contract revenues, a provision for the entire expected loss on the contract is recorded in the period in which the loss is identified. Total estimated losses are inclusive of any unexercised options that are probable of award, only if they increase the amount of the loss.

Revenues for time-and-materials contracts are recorded based on the amount for which we have the right to invoice our customers, because the amount directly reflects the value of our work performed for the customer. Revenues are recorded on the basis of contract allowable labor hours worked multiplied by the contract defined billing rates, plus the direct costs and indirect cost burdens associated with materials and subcontract work used in performance on the contract. Generally, profits on time-and-materials contracts result from the difference between the cost of services performed and the contractually defined billing rates for these services.

Business Combinations

The Company records all tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination at fair value as of the acquisition date, with any excess purchase consideration recorded as goodwill. Determining the fair value of acquired intangible assets requires management to make significant judgments about expected future cash flows, weighted-average cost of capital, discount rates, useful lives of assets and expected long-term growth rates. During the measurement period, not to exceed one year from the acquisition date, the Company may adjust provisional amounts recorded to reflect new information subsequently obtained regarding facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of amounts paid over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired from an acquisition. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment annually on the first day of the fourth quarter of the fiscal year or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

51

The evaluation includes a qualitative or quantitative assessment that compares the estimated fair value of the relevant reporting unit to its respective carrying value, including goodwill, and utilizes both market and income approaches. Under the market approach, we estimate the fair value of a reporting unit based on comparable public companies within our industry that have operations with observable and comparable economic characteristics and are similar in nature, scope and size to the reporting unit being compared. Under the income approach, we estimate the fair value of a reporting unit using a discounted cash flow model which includes judgments and assumptions about expected growth rates, terminal earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) margins, discount rates based on weighted-average cost of capital, assumptions regarding future capital expenditures and observable inputs of other comparable companies. The fair value of each reporting unit is compared to the carrying amount of the reporting unit and if the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value, then an impairment loss is recognized for the difference.
