Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is provided to enhance the understanding of, and should be read together with, our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements that appear elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Information Relating to Forward-Looking Statements
There are statements made herein that do not address historical facts and, therefore, could be interpreted to be forward-looking statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are subject to risk factors that could cause actual results to be materially different from anticipated results. These risk factors include, but are not limited to, the following:
•our reliance on United States (U.S.) government contracts, which includes general risk around the government contract procurement process (such as bid protest, small business set asides, loss of work due to organizational conflicts of interest, etc.) and termination risks;
•significant delays or reductions in appropriations for our programs and broader changes in U.S. government funding and spending patterns;
•legislation that amends or changes discretionary spending levels or budget priorities, such as for homeland security;
•legal, regulatory, and political change from successive presidential administrations that could result in economic uncertainty;
•changes in U.S. federal agencies, current agreements with other nations, foreign events, or any other events which may affect the global economy;
•the results of government audits and reviews conducted by the Defense Contract Audit Agency, the Defense Contract Management Agency, or other governmental entities with cognizant oversight;
•competitive factors such as pricing pressures and/or competition to hire and retain employees (particularly those with security clearances);
•failure to achieve contract awards in connection with re-competes for present business and/or competition for new business;
•regional and national economic conditions in the U.S. and globally, including but not limited to: terrorist activities or war, changes in interest rates, currency fluctuations, significant fluctuations in the equity markets, and market speculation regarding our continued independence;
•our ability to meet contractual performance obligations, including technologically complex obligations dependent on factors not wholly within our control;
•limited access to certain facilities required for us to perform our work;
•changes in tax law, the interpretation of associated rules and regulations, or any other events impacting our effective tax rate;
•changes in technology;
•the potential impact of the announcement or consummation of a proposed transaction and our ability to successfully integrate the operations of our recent and any future acquisitions;
•our ability to achieve the objectives of near term or long-term business plans; and
•the effects of health epidemics, pandemics and similar outbreaks may have material adverse effects on our business, financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows.
The above non-inclusive list of risk factors may impact the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition, other risk factors include, but are not limited to, those described in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” within our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Budgetary Environment
We carefully follow federal budget, legislative and contracting trends and activities and evolve our strategies to take these into consideration. While future levels of defense and non-defense spending may vary and are difficult to project, we believe that there continues to be bipartisan support for defense and national security-related spending, particularly given the heightened current global threat environment.
While we view the budget environment as constructive and believe there is bipartisan support for continued investment in the areas of defense and national security, it is uncertain when (and if) in any particular government fiscal year (GFY) that appropriations bills will be passed. 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 that typically allows 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 award decisions, and other factors. When a CR expires, unless appropriations bills have been passed by Congress and signed by the President, or a new CR is passed and signed into law, the government must cease operations, or shutdown, except in certain emergency situations or when the law authorizes continued activity. We continuously review our operations in an attempt to identify programs potentially at risk from CRs or shutdowns so that we can consider appropriate contingency plans.
On May 2, 2025, President Trump submitted the GFY26 Presidential Budget Request (PBR) to Congress, which held defense spending at the GFY25 enacted level (a full-year CR) of $893 billion. On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), which provides additional funding above and beyond the PBR. The OBBBA is a reconciliation bill, which is separate from the usual government funding legislation passed by Congress. The OBBBA provides immediate funding for specified parts of the government, including approximately $156 billion in defense funding (including $25 billion for the Golden Dome initiative). In addition, the OBBBA provides approximately $170 billion for border security and immigration. Since this is direct funding authorized by reconciliation outside the normal budget process, these funds will be available in GFY26 and beyond whether normal appropriations or a CR is passed, or even in the event of a shutdown.
On October 1, 2025, the U.S. government entered a shutdown. On November 12, 2025, President Trump signed a CR ending the government shutdown and restoring operations across all federal agencies. The CR extended funding for most of the federal government at GFY25 levels until midnight on January 30, 2026. A partial shutdown occurred following January 30, 2026, and on February 3, 2026, President Trump signed five of the six remaining GFY26 full year appropriations bills, as well as a two-week CR for the Department of Homeland Security. The defense appropriations bill was passed, providing full year funding for the Department of Defense (DoD) with a topline of $838.7 billion, approximately $8.4 billion above the President’s defense budget request for GFY26. On February 14, 2026, the CR funding the Department of Homeland Security ended, and the department entered a shutdown. While DHS currently remains in a shutdown, portions of the department’s operations have continued due to funding from the OBBBA.
Market Environment
We provide Expertise and Technology to government customers. We believe that the total addressable market for our offerings is sufficient to support the Company’s plans and is expected to continue to grow over the next several years. Approximately 78% of our revenue comes from DoD and Intelligence Community (IC) customers, with additional revenue coming from federal civilian agencies and commercial and other customers.
We continue to align the Company’s capabilities with well-funded budget priorities and take steps to maintain a competitive cost structure in line with our expectations of future business opportunities. In light of these actions, as well as the budgetary environment discussed above, we believe we are well positioned to continue to win new business in our large addressable market. We believe that the following trends will influence the U.S. government’s spending in our addressable market:
•A stable-to-higher U.S. government budget environment, particularly in national security-related areas (defense, intelligence, and border security);
•Increased focus on cyber, space, and the electromagnetic spectrum as key domains for national security;
•Increased investments in advanced technologies (e.g., AI), particularly software-based technologies;
•Increased spending on network and application modernization and enhancements to cyber security posture;
•Increasing focus on near-peer competitors and other nation state threats;
•Increasing focus on application of technologies to defend the homeland;
•Continued focus on counterterrorism, counterintelligence, and counter proliferation as key U.S. security concerns; and
•Increased demand for innovation and speed of delivery.
20
We believe that our customers’ use of lowest price/technically acceptable procurements, which contributed to pricing pressures in past years, has moderated, though price still remains an important factor in procurements. We also continue to see protests of major contract awards and delays in U.S. government procurement activities. In addition, many of our federal government contracts require us to employ personnel with security clearances, specific levels of education, and specific past work experience. Depending on the level of clearance, security clearances can be difficult and time-consuming to obtain and competition for skilled personnel in the industry is intense. Additional factors that could affect U.S. government spending in our addressable market include changes in set-asides for small businesses and budgetary priorities.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition & Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is provided to enhance the understanding of, and should be read together with, our consolidated financial statements, and the Notes to those statements that appear elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Unless otherwise specifically noted, all years refer to our fiscal year which ends on June 30.
In this section, we discuss our financial condition, changes in financial condition, and results of our operations for fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024. For a discussion and analysis comparing our results for fiscal 2024 to fiscal 2023, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2024, filed with the SEC on August 8, 2024, under Part II, Item 7.
Overview
We are a leading provider of Expertise and Technology to customers in support of national security in the intelligence, defense, and federal civilian sectors, both domestically and internationally. The demand for our Expertise and Technology is largely driven by the evolving national security and geopolitical environment, the increasingly complex network, systems, and information environments in which governments and businesses operate, and the ongoing need to stay current with emerging technologies.
Some of our key initiatives include the following:
•Continue to grow organic revenues across our large, addressable market;
•Deliver strong profitability and robust cash flow;
•Differentiate ourselves through our investments, including our strategic mergers and acquisition program, allowing us to enhance our current capabilities and create new customer access points;
•Recruit, hire, train, and retain a world class workforce to execute on our growing backlog; and
•Continue our unwavering commitment to our customers while supporting the communities in which we work and live.
Budgetary Environment
We carefully follow federal budget, legislative and contracting trends and activities and evolve our strategies to take these into consideration. While future levels of defense and non-defense spending may vary and are difficult to project, we believe that there continues to be bipartisan support for defense and national security-related spending, particularly given the heightened current global threat environment.
While we view the budget environment as constructive and believe there is bipartisan support for continued investment in the areas of defense and national security, it is uncertain when (and if) in any particular government fiscal year (GFY) that appropriations bills will be passed. 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 that typically allows the government to continue operations at prior year funding levels. On March 15, 2025, President Trump signed a CR that extended government funding through September 30, 2025, the remainder of GFY25 (a full-year CR). This is the first time that the Department of Defense (DoD) has been funded by a full-year CR, and this latest CR has some anomalies included that make it different than a typical CR, including (i) new appropriation levels were established rather than using the GFY24 levels (e.g., defense spending raised to $893 billion, which is just under the $895 billion President Biden requested for GFY25), (ii) DoD is allowed to start certain new programs, and (iii) DoD was given expanded transfer authority to reallocate funding between different accounts.
Depending on their scope, duration, and other factors, CRs can negatively impact our business due to delays in new program starts, delays in contract award decisions, and other factors. When a CR expires, unless appropriations bills have been passed by Congress and signed by the President, or a new CR is passed and signed into law, the government must cease operations, or shutdown, except in certain emergency situations or when the law authorizes continued activity. We continuously review our operations in an attempt to identify programs potentially at risk from CRs so that we can consider appropriate contingency plans.
On May 2, 2025, President Trump submitted the GFY26 Presidential Budget Request (PBR) to Congress, which held defense spending at the GFY25 enacted level (a full-year CR) of $893 billion. On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), which provides additional funding above and beyond the PBR. The OBBBA is a reconciliation bill, which is separate from the usual government funding legislation that Congress will still need to pass before October 1, 2025 or pass a CR. The OBBBA provides immediate funding for specified parts of the government, including approximately $156 billion in defense funding (including $25 billion for the Golden Dome initiative). When combined with the President’s GFY26 PBR, this represents growth of approximately 13% over GFY25 enacted levels for defense. In addition, the OBBBA provides approximately $170 billion for border security and immigration. Since this is direct funding authorized by reconciliation outside the normal budget process, these funds will be available in GFY26 and beyond whether normal appropriations or a CR is passed.

Market Environment
We provide Expertise and Technology to government customers. We believe that the total addressable market for our offerings is sufficient to support the Company's plans and is expected to continue to grow over the next several years. Approximately 75% of our revenue comes from defense-related customers, including those in the IC, with additional revenue coming from non-defense IC, homeland security, and other federal civilian customers.
We continue to align the Company’s capabilities with well-funded budget priorities and take steps to maintain a competitive cost structure in line with our expectations of future business opportunities. In light of these actions, as well as the budgetary environment discussed above, we believe we are well positioned to continue to win new business in our large addressable market. We believe that the following trends will influence the U.S. government's spending in our addressable market:
•A stable-to-higher U.S. government budget environment, particularly in national security-related areas (defense, intelligence, and border security);
•Increased focus on cyber, space, and the electromagnetic spectrum as key domains for national security;
•Increased spend on network and application modernization and enhancements to cyber security posture;
•Increased investments in advanced technologies (e.g., AI), particularly software-based technologies;
•Increasing focus on near-peer competitors and other nation state threats;
•Increasing focus on application of technologies to defend the homeland;
•Continued focus on counterterrorism, counterintelligence, and counter proliferation as key U.S. security concerns; and
•Increased demand for innovation and speed of delivery.
We believe that our customers’ use of lowest price/technically acceptable (LPTA) procurements, which contributed to pricing pressures in past years, has moderated, though price still remains an important factor in procurements. We also continue to see protests of major contract awards and delays in U.S. government procurement activities. In addition, many of our federal government contracts require us to employ personnel with security clearances, specific levels of education, and specific past work experience. Depending on the level of clearance, security clearances can be difficult and time-consuming to obtain and competition for skilled personnel in the industry is intense. Additional factors that could affect U.S. government spending in our addressable market include changes in set-asides for small businesses and budgetary priorities, including efficiency initiatives like the Department of Government Efficiency, limiting, delaying, or reducing federal government spending in general.

Revenues by customer type with related percentages of revenues were as follows (dollars in thousands):
| Year Ended June 30, | |||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| Total | $ | 8,627,824 | 100.0 | % | $ | 7,659,832 | 100.0 | % |
•DoD revenues include Expertise and Technology provided to various DoD customers.
•Federal civilian agencies’ revenues primarily include Expertise and Technology provided to non-DoD agencies and departments of the U.S. government, including intelligence agencies and Departments of Justice, Agriculture, Health and Human Services, and State.
•Commercial and other revenues primarily include Expertise and Technology provided to U.S. state and local governments, commercial customers, and certain foreign governments and agencies through our international reportable segment.
Direct Costs. The increase in direct costs was primarily attributable to direct labor and subcontractor costs from organic growth on existing programs and higher materials costs. As a percentage of revenues, total direct costs were 67.6% and 67.2% for fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Indirect Costs and Selling Expenses. The increase in indirect costs and selling expenses was primarily attributable to an increase in fringe benefit expenses on a higher labor base. As a percentage of revenues, indirect costs and selling expenses decreased to 21.2% for fiscal 2025 from 22.5% for fiscal 2024, which was primarily attributable to the synergies from the acquisitions.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization for fiscal 2025 increased compared to prior year due to the amortization of intangible assets obtained through acquisitions made in fiscal 2025.
Interest Expense and Other, Net. The increase in interest expense and other, net was primarily attributable to higher outstanding debt balances and costs incurred with debt issuances.
Income Taxes. The Company’s effective income tax rate was 17.4% and 22.9% for fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively. Fiscal 2025 effective tax rate benefited from a reduction in unrecognized tax benefits following our resolution of a federal income tax audit. The effective tax rate for fiscal 2024 benefited from research and development tax credits partially offset by state income taxes. See “Note 16 – Income Taxes” in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.
Contract Backlog
The Company’s backlog represents value on existing contracts that has the potential to be recognized into revenues as work is performed. The Company includes unexercised option years in its backlog and excludes the value of task orders that may be awarded under multiple award IDIQ vehicles until such task orders are issued.
The Company’s backlog as of period end is either funded or unfunded:
•Funded backlog represents contract value for which funding has been appropriated less revenues previously recognized on these contracts.
•Unfunded backlog represents estimated values that have the potential to be recognized into revenue from executed contracts for which funding has not been appropriated and unexercised contract options.
As of June 30, 2025, the Company had total backlog of $31.4 billion, compared with $31.6 billion a year ago, a decrease of 0.6%. Funded backlog as of June 30, 2025 was $4.2 billion. The total backlog consists of remaining performance obligations plus unexercised options. See “Note 5 – Revenues” in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information related to remaining performance obligations.
There is no assurance that all funded or potential contract value will result in revenues being recognized. The Company continues to monitor backlog as it is subject to change from execution of new contracts, contract modifications or extensions, government deobligations, early terminations, or other factors. Based on this analysis, an adjustment to the period end balance may be required.
Revenues by Contract Type
The Company generates revenues under three basic contract types:
•Cost-plus-fee contracts: This contract type provides for reimbursement of allowable direct expenses and allocable indirect expenses plus an additional negotiated fee. The fee component of the contract may include fixed fees, award fees, and incentive fees. Fixed fees are fees that are negotiated and fixed at the inception of the contract. In general, award fees are more subjective in performance criteria and are earned based on overall cost, schedule, and technical performance as measured against contractual requirements. Incentive fees have more objective cost or performance criteria and generally contain a formula based on the relationship of actual costs incurred to target costs.
23
•Fixed-price contracts: This contract type provides for a fixed-price for specified Expertise and Technology and is often used when there is more certainty regarding the estimated costs to complete the contractual statement of work. Since the contractor bears the risk of cost overruns, there is higher risk and generally potential profit associated with this contract type.
•Time-and-materials contracts: This contract type provides for a fixed hourly rate for defined contractual labor categories with reimbursement of billable material and other direct costs. For this contract type, the contractor bears the risk that its labor costs, and allocable indirect expenses are greater than the fixed hourly rate defined within the contract.
As discussed further within Item 1A, Risk Factors in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, our earnings and margins may vary based on the mix of our contract types. We generated the following revenues by contract type for the periods presented (dollars in thousands):

| Total | $ | 8,627,824 | 100.0 | % | $ | 7,659,832 | 100.0 | % |
Effects of Inflation
During fiscal 2025, 60.5% of our revenues were generated under cost-plus-fee contracts, which automatically adjust revenues to cover costs that are affected by inflation. 13.2% of our revenues were generated under time-and-materials contracts, where we adjust labor rates periodically, as permitted. The remaining portion of our business is fixed-price and may span multiple years. We generally have been able to price our time-and-materials and fixed-price contracts in a manner that accommodates the rates of inflation experienced in recent years.
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 borrowings under our Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2025, we had $106.2 million in cash and cash equivalents.
The Company has a $3,200.0 million Credit Facility, which consists of a $1,975.0 million Revolving Facility and a $1,225.0 million Term Loan. The Revolving Facility is a secured facility that permits continuously renewable borrowings and has subfacilities of $100.0 million for same-day swing line borrowings and $25.0 million for stand-by letters of credit. As of June 30, 2025, $124.5 million was outstanding under the Revolving Facility and no borrowings on the swing line. The Company also has Term Loan B Facility and 2033 Notes, with a principal amount of $750.0 million and $1,000.0 million, respectively.
During fiscal year 2023, a provision of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA) took effect, which eliminated the option to deduct domestic research and development costs in the year incurred and instead requires taxpayers to capitalize and amortize such costs over five years. This provision decreased fiscal year 2025 cash flows from operations by $47.4 million and increased net deferred tax assets by a similar amount. The OBBBA enacted a provision that allows immediate deduction of domestic research and development costs in the year incurred. The Company’s cash tax payments will benefit materially as a result of this provision in fiscal 2026.
See “Note 6 – Sales of Receivables” and “Note 12 – Debt” in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.
A summary of cash flow information is presented below (dollars in thousands):
| Year Ended June 30, | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |||||
| Net cash provided by operating activities | $ | 547,009 | $ | 497,331 | ||
| Net cash used in investing activities | (1,758,943) | (151,952) | ||||
| Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities | 1,177,881 | (326,895) | ||||
| Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents | 6,273 | (299) | ||||
| Net change in cash and cash equivalents | $ | (27,780) | $ | 18,185 |
Net cash provided by operating activities increased $49.7 million primarily due to $162.7 million in higher net income, adjusted for non-cash items, and $48.0 million in lower income taxes payments, partially offset by timing of milestone billings and customer payments of $141.3 million, a decrease of $11.1 million in cash provided by the Company's MARPA, and other net unfavorable changes in other operating assets and liabilities.
Net cash used in investing activities increased $1,607.0 million primarily due to cash used in acquisitions.
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities increased $1,504.8 million primarily as a result of a $1,528.3 million of net proceeds under our debt instruments, including the impact of debt issuance costs for the Term Loan B Facility and 2033 Notes.
24
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, customary capital expenditures, debt service obligations, and other working capital requirements over the next twelve months. We may in the future seek to borrow additional amounts under existing debt instruments or new debt instruments. Over the longer term, our ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations necessary to fulfill the obligations under the Credit Facility, Term Loan B Facility, 2033 Notes, and any other indebtedness we may incur will depend on our future financial performance which will be affected by many factors outside of our control, including current worldwide economic conditions and financial market conditions.
Contractual Obligations
For a description of the Company’s contractual obligations related to debt, leases, and retirement plans refer to “Note 10 – Leases”, “Note 12 – Debt”, and “Note 17 – Retirement Plans” in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Commitments and Contingencies
We are subject to a number of reviews, investigations, claims, lawsuits, other uncertainties, and future obligations related to our business. For a discussion of these items, see “Note 19 – Commitments and Contingencies” in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in those financial statements and accompanying notes. We consider the accounting policies and estimates addressed below to be the most important to our financial position and results of operations, either because of the significance of the financial statement item or because they require the exercise of significant judgment and/or use of significant estimates. Although we believe that the estimates are reasonable based on reasonably available facts, due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making those estimates, actual results reported in future periods may differ.
We believe the following accounting policies require significant judgment due to the complex nature of the underlying transactions:
Revenue Recognition
The Company generates almost all of our revenues from three different types of contractual arrangements with the U.S. government: cost-plus-fee, fixed-price, and time-and-materials contracts. Our contracts with the U.S. government are generally subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and are competitively priced based on estimated costs of providing the contractual goods or services.
We account for a contract when the parties have approved the contract and are committed to perform on it, the rights of each party and the payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance, and collectability is probable. At contract inception, the Company determines whether the goods or services to be provided are to be accounted for as a single performance obligation or as multiple performance obligations. This evaluation requires professional judgment as it may affect the timing and pattern of revenue recognition. If multiple performance obligations are identified, we generally use the cost plus a margin approach to determine the relative standalone selling price of each performance obligation.
When determining the total transaction price, the Company identifies both fixed and variable considerations within the contract. Variable consideration includes any amount within the transaction price that is not fixed such as award or incentive fees, performance penalties, unfunded contract value, or other similar items. For our contracts with award or incentive fees, the Company estimates the total amount of award or incentive fee expected to be recognized into revenue. Throughout the performance period, we recognize as revenue a constrained amount of variable consideration only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of the cumulative amount recognized to date will not be required in a subsequent period. Our estimate of variable consideration is periodically adjusted based on significant changes in relevant facts and circumstances. In the period in which we can calculate the final amount of award or incentive fee earned based on the receipt of the customers' final performance score or the determination that more objective, contractually defined criteria have been fully satisfied, the Company will adjust our cumulative revenue recognized to date on the contract.
We generally recognize revenues over time throughout the performance period as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided on our services-type revenue arrangements. This continuous transfer of control for our U.S. government contracts is supported by the unilateral right of our customer to terminate the contract for a variety of reasons without having to provide justification for its decision. For our services-type revenue arrangements in which there are a repetitive amount of services that are substantially the same from one month to the next, the Company applies the series guidance. We use a variety of input and output methods that approximate the progress towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation, including costs incurred, labor hours expended, and time-elapsed measures for our fixed-price stand ready obligations. For certain contracts, primarily our cost-plus-fee and time-and-materials services-type revenue arrangements, we apply the right-to-invoice practical expedient in which revenues are recognized in direct proportion to our present right to consideration for progress towards the complete satisfaction of the performance obligation.
25
When a performance obligation has a significant degree of interrelation or interdependence between one month’s activities and the next, when there is an award or incentive fee, or when there is a significant degree of customization or modification, the Company generally records revenue using a percentage of completion method. For these revenue arrangements, substantially all revenues are recognized over time using a cost-to-cost input method based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to total estimated costs at completion. When estimates of total costs to be incurred on a contract exceed total revenues, a provision for the entire loss on the contract is recorded in the period in which the loss is determined.
Contract modifications are reviewed to determine whether they should be accounted for as part of the original performance obligation or as a separate contract. Contract modifications that add distinct goods or services, resulting in an increase to the contract value that reflects the standalone selling price of those additions, are accounted for as separate contracts. When contract modifications include goods or services that are not distinct from those already provided, the Company records a cumulative adjustment to revenues based on a remeasurement of progress towards the complete satisfaction of the not yet fully delivered performance obligation.
Based on the critical nature of our contractual performance obligations, the Company may proceed with work based on customer direction prior to the completion and signing of formal contract documents. The Company has a formal review process for approving any such work that considers previous experiences with the customer, communications with the customer regarding funding status, and our knowledge of available funding for the contract or program.
Business Combinations
We record 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. For contingent purchase consideration, a liability is recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date with subsequent fair value adjustments recorded in operations. The Company uses various valuation methods, including the relief-from-royalty method of the income approach, to determine the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities assumed. The use of these methods requires management to make significant judgments about expected future cash flows, weighted average cost of capital, discount rates, royalty rates, and expected long-term growth rates. During the measurement period, not to exceed one year from the acquisition date, we may adjust provisional amounts recorded to reflect new information subsequently obtained regarding facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the excess of the fair value of consideration paid for an acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired as of the acquisition date. We recognize purchased intangible assets in connection with our business acquisitions at fair value on the acquisition date. Goodwill and intangible assets, net represent 70.7% and 68.1% of our total assets as of June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively.
We evaluate goodwill for both of our reporting units for impairment at least annually on the first day of the fiscal fourth quarter, or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The evaluation includes comparing the fair value of the relevant reporting unit to its respective carrying value, including goodwill, and utilizes both income and market approaches. The analysis relies on significant judgements and assumptions about expected future cash flows, weighted average cost of capital, discount rates, expected long-term growth rates, and financial measures derived from observable market data of comparable public companies. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, we completed our annual goodwill assessment and determined that each reporting unit’s fair value significantly exceeded its carrying value.
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized using the method that best reflects how their economic benefits are utilized or, if a pattern of economic benefits cannot be reliably determined, on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which is generally over periods ranging from one to twenty years. Intangible assets with finite lives are assessed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable at the asset group level.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is provided to enhance the understanding of, and should be read together with, our consolidated financial statements and the Notes to those statements that appear elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Unless otherwise specifically noted, all years refer to our fiscal year which ends on June 30.
In this section, we discuss our financial condition, changes in financial condition and results of our operations for fiscal 2024 compared to fiscal 2023. For a discussion and analysis comparing our results for fiscal 2023 to fiscal 2022, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2023, filed with the SEC on August 10, 2023, under Part II, Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
Overview
We are a leading provider of Expertise and Technology to customers in support of national security in the intelligence, defense, and federal civilian sectors, both domestically and internationally. The demand for our Expertise and Technology, in large measure, is created by the increasingly complex network, systems, and information environments in which governments and businesses operate, and by the need to stay current with emerging technology while increasing productivity, enhancing security, and, ultimately, improving performance.
Some of our key initiatives include the following:
•Continue to grow organic revenues across our large, addressable market;
•Deliver strong profitability and robust cash flow;
•Differentiate ourselves through our investments, including our strategic mergers and acquisition program, allowing us to enhance our current capabilities and create new customer access points;
•Recruit, hire, train, and retain a world class workforce to execute on our growing backlog; and
•Continue our unwavering commitment to our customers while supporting the communities in which we work and live.
Budgetary Environment
We carefully follow federal budget, legislative and contracting trends and activities and evolve our strategies to take these into consideration. For the government fiscal year (GFY) ending September 30, 2023 (GFY23), defense and nondefense funding levels represented increases of approximately 10% and 6%, respectively, over GFY22 enacted levels. On June 3, 2023, the President signed into law legislation that suspended the federal debt limit until January 2025 and capped discretionary spending in GFY24 and GFY25. Specifically, GFY24 defense spending is capped at $886 billion, an increase of 3% and in-line with the President’s GFY24 budget request, and GFY24 nondefense spending is capped at levels similar to GFY22 (though after various adjustments would essentially be flat with GFY23 levels). For GFY25, discretionary spending growth (both defense and nondefense) is capped at 1%. On March 23, 2024, the President signed into law an appropriations bill that funds the federal government for GFY24, generally consistent with the terms set forth in the debt limit legislation signed in June 2023. Earlier in March, the President released his GFY25 budget request that was also generally consistent with the terms set forth in the debt limit legislation signed in June 2023. While future levels of defense and nondefense spending may vary and are difficult to project, we believe that there continues to be bipartisan support for defense and national security-related spending, particularly given the heightened current global threat environment, including the conflict in Ukraine.
While we view the budget environment as constructive and believe there is bipartisan support for continued investment in the areas of defense and national security, it is uncertain when in any particular GFY that appropriations bills will be passed. 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 award decisions, and other factors. When a CR expires, unless appropriations bills have been passed by Congress and signed by the President, or a new CR is passed and signed into law, the government must cease operations, or shutdown, except in certain emergency situations or when the law authorizes continued activity. We continuously review our operations in an attempt to identify programs potentially at risk from CRs so that we can consider appropriate contingency plans.

Market Environment
We provide Expertise and Technology to government customers. We believe that the total addressable market for our offerings is sufficient to support the Company's plans and is expected to continue to grow over the next several years. Approximately 70% of our revenue comes from defense-related customers, including those in the Intelligence Community (IC), with additional revenue coming from non-defense IC, homeland security, and other federal civilian customers.
We continue to align the Company’s capabilities with well-funded budget priorities and take steps to maintain a competitive cost structure in line with our expectations of future business opportunities. In light of these actions, as well as the budgetary environment discussed above, we believe we are well positioned to continue to win new business in our large addressable market. We believe that the following trends will influence the USG’s spending in our addressable market:
•A stable-to-higher USG budget environment, particularly in defense and intelligence-related areas;
•Increased focus on cyber, space, and the electromagnetic spectrum as key domains for National Security;
•Increased spend on network and application modernization and enhancements to cyber security posture;
•Increased investments in advanced technologies (e.g., Artificial Intelligence), particularly software-based technologies;
•Increasing focus on near-peer competitors and other nation state threats;
•Continued focus on counterterrorism, counterintelligence, and counter proliferation as key U.S. security concerns; and
•Increased demand for innovation and speed of delivery.
We believe that our customers’ use of lowest price/technically acceptable (LPTA) procurements, which contributed to pricing pressures in past years, has moderated, though price still remains an important factor in procurements. We also continue to see protests of major contract awards and delays in USG procurement activities. In addition, many of our federal government contracts require us to employ personnel with security clearances, specific levels of education and specific past work experience. Depending on the level of clearance, security clearances can be difficult and time-consuming to obtain and competition for skilled personnel in the information technology services industry is intense. Additional factors that could affect USG spending in our addressable market include changes in set-asides for small businesses, changes in budget priorities, and budgetary priorities limiting or delaying federal government spending in general.

•DoD revenues include Expertise and Technology provided to various Department of Defense customers.
•Federal civilian agencies’ revenues primarily include Expertise and Technology provided to non-DoD agencies and departments of the U.S. federal government, including intelligence agencies and Departments of Justice, Agriculture, Health and Human Services, and State.
•Commercial and other revenues primarily include Expertise and Technology provided to U.S. state and local governments, commercial customers, and certain foreign governments and agencies through our International reportable segment.
Direct Costs. The increase in direct costs was primarily attributable to direct labor and subcontractor costs from organic growth on existing programs and higher materials costs. As a percentage of revenues, total direct costs were 67.2% and 65.7% for fiscal 2024 and 2023, respectively. Direct costs include direct labor, subcontractor costs, materials, and other direct costs.
Indirect Costs and Selling Expenses. As a percentage of revenues, indirect costs and selling expenses were 22.5% and 23.7% for fiscal 2024 and 2023, respectively, driven by cost efficiencies across the Company. The increase in indirect costs and selling expenses was primarily attributable to an increase in fringe benefit expenses on a higher labor base.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization for fiscal 2024 was consistent with the prior year period.
Interest Expense and Other, Net. The increase in interest expense and other, net was primarily attributable to higher interest rates and higher outstanding debt balances.
Income Taxes. The Company’s effective income tax rate was 22.9% and 20.4% for fiscal 2024 and 2023, respectively. The effective tax rate for fiscal 2024 was favorably impacted by research and development tax credits, offset by state income taxes. The effective tax rate for fiscal 2023 was favorably impacted primarily by federal research tax credits and the remeasurement of state deferred taxes. See “Note 16 – Income Taxes” in Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.
Contract Backlog
The Company’s backlog represents value on existing contracts that has the potential to be recognized into revenues as work is performed. The Company includes unexercised option years in its backlog and excludes the value of task orders that may be awarded under multiple award IDIQ vehicles until such task orders are issued.
The Company’s backlog as of period end is either funded or unfunded:
•Funded backlog represents contract value for which funding has been appropriated less revenues previously recognized on these contracts.
•Unfunded backlog represents estimated values that have the potential to be recognized into revenue from executed contracts for which funding has not been appropriated and unexercised contract options.
As of June 30, 2024, the Company had total backlog of $31.6 billion, compared with $25.8 billion a year ago, an increase of 22.5%. Funded backlog as of June 30, 2024 was $3.8 billion. The total backlog consists of remaining performance obligations plus unexercised options. See “Note 5 – Revenues” in Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information related to remaining performance obligations.
There is no assurance that all funded or potential contract value will result in revenues being recognized. The Company continues to monitor backlog as it is subject to change from execution of new contracts, contract modifications or extensions, government deobligations, early terminations, or other factors. Based on this analysis, an adjustment to the period end balance may be required.
23
Revenues by Contract Type
The Company generates revenues under three basic contract types:
•Cost-plus-fee contracts: This contract type provides for reimbursement of allowable direct expenses and allocable indirect expenses plus an additional negotiated fee. The fee component of the contract may include fixed fees, award fees and incentive fees. Fixed fees are fees that are negotiated and fixed at the inception of the contract. In general, award fees are more subjective in performance criteria and are earned based on overall cost, schedule, and technical performance as measured against contractual requirements. Incentive fees have more objective cost or performance criteria and generally contain a formula based on the relationship of actual costs incurred to target costs.
•Fixed-price contracts: This contract type provides for a fixed-price for specified Expertise and Technology and is often used when there is more certainty regarding the estimated costs to complete the contractual statement of work. Since the contractor bears the risk of cost overruns, there is higher risk and potential profit associated with this contract type.
•Time-and-materials contracts: This contract type provides for a fixed hourly rate for defined contractual labor categories, with reimbursement of billable material and other direct costs. For this contract type, the contractor bears the risk that its labor costs and allocable indirect expenses are greater than the fixed hourly rate defined within the contract.
As discussed further within Item 1A, Risk Factors in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, our earnings and margins may vary based on the mix of our contract types. We generated the following revenues by contract type for the periods presented:

Effects of Inflation
During fiscal 2024, 60.8% of our revenues were generated under cost-reimbursable contracts which automatically adjust revenues to cover costs that are affected by inflation. 11.9% of our revenues were generated under time-and-materials contracts where we adjust labor rates periodically, as permitted. The remaining portion of our business is fixed-price and may span multiple years. We generally have been able to price our time-and-materials and fixed-price contracts in a manner that accommodates the rates of inflation experienced in recent years.
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 borrowings under our Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2024, we had $134.0 million in cash and cash equivalents.
The Company has a $3,200.0 million Credit Facility, which consists of an $1,975.0 million Revolving Facility and a $1,225.0 million Term Loan. The Revolving Facility is a secured facility that permits continuously renewable borrowings and has subfacilities of $100.0 million for same-day swing line borrowings and $25.0 million for stand-by letters of credit. As of June 30, 2024, $1,133.1 million was outstanding under the Term Loan, $415.0 million was outstanding under the Revolving Facility and no borrowings on the swing line.
The Term Loan is a five-year secured facility under which principal payments are due in quarterly installments of $7.7 million through December 31, 2023 and $15.3 million thereafter until the balance is due in full on December 13, 2026. The Credit Facility contains customary financial and restrictive covenants with which we have been in compliance since inception.
Interest rates applicable to loans under the Credit Facility are floating interest rates that, at our option, equal a base rate or a Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) rate, plus in each case, an applicable margin based upon our consolidated total net leverage ratio.
During fiscal year 2023, a provision of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA) went into effect which eliminated the option to deduct domestic research and development costs in the year incurred and instead requires taxpayers to capitalize and amortize such costs over five years. This provision decreased fiscal year 2024 cash flows from operations by $73.9 million and increased net deferred tax assets by a similar amount. The future impact of this provision will depend on any guidance issued by the Treasury Department regarding the identification of appropriate costs for capitalization, and the amount of future research and development expenses paid or incurred (among other factors).
See “Note 6 – Sales of Receivables” and “Note 12 – Debt” in Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.

A summary of cash flow information is presented below:
| Year Ended June 30, | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | |||||
| (dollars in thousands) | ||||||
| Net cash provided by operating activities | $ | 497,331 | $ | 388,056 | ||
| Net cash used in investing activities | (151,952) | (75,717) | ||||
| Net cash used in financing activities | (326,895) | (316,108) | ||||
| Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents | (299) | 4,741 | ||||
| Net change in cash and cash equivalents | 18,185 | 972 |
Net cash provided by operating activities increased $109.3 million primarily as a result of a $46.6 million reduction in CARES Act payroll tax payments, a $36.5 million reduction in income taxes payments, a $7.8 million increase in cash received from the Company's MARPA, and $18.4 million of other net favorable changes, primarily increases in net income adjusted for non-cash items driven by revenue growth, partially offset by unfavorable changes in other operating assets and liabilities.
Net cash used in investing activities increased $76.2 million primarily as a result of a $75.8 million increase in cash used in acquisitions of businesses.
Net cash used in financing activities increased $10.8 million primarily as a result of a $117.3 million increase in net repayments under our Credit Facility, partially offset by a $111.7 million decrease in repurchases of our common stock
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, customary capital expenditures, debt service obligations, and other working capital requirements over the next twelve months. We may in the future seek to borrow additional amounts under a long-term debt security. Over the longer term, our ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations necessary to fulfill the obligations under the Credit Facility and any other indebtedness we may incur will depend on our future financial performance which will be affected by many factors outside of our control, including current worldwide economic conditions and financial market conditions.
Contractual Obligations
For a description of the Company’s contractual obligations related to debt, leases, and retirement plans refer to “Note 10 – Leases”, “Note 12 – Debt”, and “Note 17 – Retirement Plans” in Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Commitments and Contingencies
We are subject to a number of reviews, investigations, claims, lawsuits, other uncertainties and future obligations related to our business. For a discussion of these items, see “Note 19 – Commitments and Contingencies” in Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in those financial statements and accompanying notes. We consider the accounting policies and estimates addressed below to be the most important to our financial position and results of operations, either because of the significance of the financial statement item or because they require the exercise of significant judgment and/or use of significant estimates. Although we believe that the estimates are reasonable based on reasonably available facts, due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making those estimates, actual results reported in future periods may differ.
We believe the following accounting policies require significant judgment due to the complex nature of the underlying transactions:
Revenue Recognition
The Company generates almost all of our revenues from three different types of contractual arrangements with the U.S. government: cost-plus-fee, fixed-price, and time-and-materials contracts. Our contracts with the U.S. government are generally subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and are competitively priced based on estimated costs of providing the contractual goods or services.
We account for a contract when the parties have approved the contract and are committed to perform on it, the rights of each party and the payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance, and collectability is probable. At contract inception, the Company determines whether the goods or services to be provided are to be accounted for as a single performance obligation or as multiple performance obligations. This evaluation requires professional judgment as it may impact the timing and pattern of revenue recognition. If multiple performance obligations are identified, we generally use the cost plus a margin approach to determine the relative standalone selling price of each performance obligation.
25
When determining the total transaction price, the Company identifies both fixed and variable consideration elements within the contract. Variable consideration includes any amount within the transaction price that is not fixed, such as: award or incentive fees; performance penalties; unfunded contract value; or other similar items. For our contracts with award or incentive fees, the Company estimates the total amount of award or incentive fee expected to be recognized into revenue. Throughout the performance period, we recognize as revenue a constrained amount of variable consideration only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of the cumulative amount recognized to date will not be required in a subsequent period. Our estimate of variable consideration is periodically adjusted based on significant changes in relevant facts and circumstances. In the period in which we can calculate the final amount of award or incentive fee earned - based on the receipt of the customer’s final performance score or determining that more objective, contractually-defined criteria have been fully satisfied - the Company will adjust our cumulative revenue recognized to date on the contract.
We generally recognize revenues over time throughout the performance period as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided on our services-type revenue arrangements. This continuous transfer of control for our U.S. government contracts is supported by the unilateral right of our customer to terminate the contract for a variety of reasons without having to provide justification for its decision. For our services-type revenue arrangements in which there are a repetitive amount of services that are substantially the same from one month to the next, the Company applies the series guidance. We use a variety of input and output methods that approximate the progress towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation, including: costs incurred, labor hours expended, and time-elapsed measures for our fixed-price stand ready obligations. For certain contracts, primarily our cost-plus and time-and-materials services-type revenue arrangements, we apply the right-to-invoice practical expedient in which revenues are recognized in direct proportion to our present right to consideration for progress towards the complete satisfaction of the performance obligation.
When a performance obligation has a significant degree of interrelation or interdependence between one month’s deliverables and the next, when there is an award or incentive fee, or when there is a significant degree of customization or modification, the Company generally records revenue using a percentage of completion method. For these revenue arrangements, substantially all revenues are recognized over time using a cost-to-cost input method based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to total estimated costs at completion. When estimates of total costs to be incurred on a contract exceed total revenues, a provision for the entire loss on the contract is recorded in the period in which the loss is determined.
Contract modifications are reviewed to determine whether they should be accounted for as part of the original performance obligation or as a separate contract. When contract modifications add distinct goods or services and increase the contract value by an amount that reflects the standalone selling price, those modifications are accounted for as separate contracts. When contract modifications include goods or services that are not distinct from those already provided, the Company records a cumulative adjustment to revenues based on a remeasurement of progress towards the complete satisfaction of the not yet fully delivered performance obligation.
Based on the critical nature of our contractual performance obligations, the Company may proceed with work based on customer direction prior to the completion and signing of formal contract documents. The Company has a formal review process for approving any such work that considers previous experiences with the customer, communications with the customer regarding funding status, and our knowledge of available funding for the contract or program.
Business Combinations
We record 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 assets and liabilities assumed, including intangible assets, requires management to make significant judgments about expected future cash flows, weighted-average cost of capital, discount rates, and expected long-term growth rates. During the measurement period, not to exceed one year from the acquisition date, we may adjust provisional amounts recorded to reflect new information subsequently obtained regarding facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the excess of the fair value of consideration paid for an acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. We recognize purchased intangible assets in connection with our business acquisitions at fair value on the acquisition date. Goodwill and intangible assets, net represent 68.1% and 69.6% of our total assets as of June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively.
We evaluate goodwill for both of our reporting units for impairment at least annually on the first day of the fiscal fourth quarter, or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The evaluation includes comparing the fair value of the relevant reporting unit to its respective carrying value, including goodwill, and utilizes both income and market approaches. The analysis relies on significant judgements and assumptions about expected future cash flows, weighted-average cost of capital, discount rates, expected long-term growth rates, and financial measures derived from observable market data of comparable public companies. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, we completed our annual goodwill assessment and determined that each reporting unit’s fair value significantly exceeded its carrying value.
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized using the method that best reflects how their economic benefits are utilized or, if a pattern of economic benefits cannot be reliably determined, on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which is generally over periods ranging from one to twenty years. Intangible assets with finite lives are assessed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Unless otherwise specifically noted, all years refer to our fiscal year which ends on June 30.
In this section, we discuss our financial condition, changes in financial condition and results of our operations for fiscal 2023 compared to fiscal 2022. For a discussion and analysis comparing our results for fiscal 2022 to fiscal 2021, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2022, filed with the SEC on August 11, 2022, under Part II, Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
Overview
We are a leading provider of Expertise and Technology to Enterprise and Mission customers, supporting national security missions and government modernization/transformation in the intelligence, defense, and federal civilian sectors, both domestically and internationally. The demand for our Expertise and Technology, in large measure, is created by the increasingly complex network, systems, and information environments in which governments and businesses operate, and by the need to stay current with emerging technology while increasing productivity, enhancing security, and, ultimately, improving performance.
Some of our key initiatives include the following:
•Continue to grow organic revenues across our large, addressable market;
•Deliver strong profitability and robust cash flow;
•Differentiate ourselves through our investments, including our strategic mergers and acquisition program, allowing us to enhance our current capabilities and create new customer access points;
•Recruit, hire, train, and retain a world class workforce to execute on our growing backlog; and
•Continue our unwavering commitment to our customers while supporting the communities in which we work and live.
Budgetary Environment
We carefully follow federal budget, legislative and contracting trends and activities and evolve our strategies to take these into consideration. On December 29, 2022, the President signed into law the omnibus appropriations bill that provided full-year funding for the government fiscal year (GFY) ending September 30, 2023 (GFY23). Of the total approximately $1.7 trillion in discretionary funding, approximately $858 billion was for national defense and approximately $773 billion was for nondefense, as well as an additional $47 billion of supplemental funding for Ukraine. The defense and nondefense funding levels represent increases of approximately 10% and 6%, respectively, over GFY22 enacted levels, which themselves were increases of approximately 6% and 7%, respectively, over GFY21. On March 9, 2023, the President released his budget request for GFY24, which called for an increase in defense spending of approximately 3% and an increase in nondefense spending of approximately 8% over GFY23 levels. On June 3, 2023, the President signed into law legislation that suspends the federal debt limit until January 2025 and caps discretionary spending in GFY24 and GFY25. Specifically, GFY24 defense spending is capped at $886 billion, an increase of 3% and in-line with the President’s budget request, and GFY24 nondefense spending is capped at levels similar to GFY22 (though after various adjustments may be essentially flat with GFY23 levels). For GFY25, discretionary spending growth (both defense and nondefense) is capped at 1%. While future levels of defense and nondefense spending may vary and are difficult to project, we believe that there continues to be bipartisan support for defense and national security-related spending, particularly given the heightened current global threat environment, including the conflict in Ukraine.
While we view the budget environment as constructive and believe there is bipartisan support for continued investment in the areas of defense and national security, it is uncertain when in any particular GFY that appropriations bills will be passed. 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.
21
Depending on their scope, duration, and other factors, CRs can negatively impact our business due to delays in new program starts, delays in contract award decisions, and other factors. When a CR expires, unless appropriations bills have been passed by Congress and signed by the President, or a new CR is passed and signed into law, the government must cease operations, or shutdown, except in certain emergency situations or when the law authorizes continued activity. We continuously review our operations in an attempt to identify programs potentially at risk from CRs so that we can consider appropriate contingency plans.
Market Environment
We provide Expertise and Technology to government enterprise and mission customers. We believe that the total addressable market for our offerings is sufficient to support the Company's plans and is expected to continue to grow over the next several years. Approximately 70% of our revenue comes from defense-related customers, including those in the Intelligence Community (IC), with additional revenue coming from non-defense IC, homeland security, and other federal civilian customers.
We continue to align the Company’s capabilities with well-funded budget priorities and take steps to maintain a competitive cost structure in line with our expectations of future business opportunities. In light of these actions, as well as the budgetary environment discussed above, we believe we are well positioned to continue to win new business in our large addressable market. We believe that the following trends will influence the USG’s spending in our addressable market:
•A stable-to-higher USG budget environment, particularly in defense and intelligence-related areas;
•Increased focus on cyber, space, and the electromagnetic spectrum as key domains for National Security;
•Increased spend on network and application modernization and enhancements to cyber security posture;
•Increased investments in advanced technologies (e.g., Artificial Intelligence, 5G), particularly software-based technologies;
•Increasing focus on near-peer competitors and other nation state threats;
•Continued focus on counterterrorism, counterintelligence, and counter proliferation as key U.S. security concerns; and
•Increased demand for innovation and speed of delivery.
We believe that our customers’ use of lowest price/technically acceptable (LPTA) procurements, which contributed to pricing pressures in past years, has moderated, though price still remains an important factor in procurements. We also continue to see protests of major contract awards and delays in USG procurement activities. In addition, many of our federal government contracts require us to employ personnel with security clearances, specific levels of education and specific past work experience. Depending on the level of clearance, security clearances can be difficult and time-consuming to obtain and competition for skilled personnel in the information technology services industry is intense. Additional factors that could affect USG spending in our addressable market include changes in set-asides for small businesses, changes in budget priorities, and budgetary priorities limiting or delaying federal government spending in general.

•DoD revenues include Expertise and Technology provided to various Department of Defense customers.
•Federal civilian agencies’ revenues primarily include Expertise and Technology provided to non-DoD agencies and departments of the U.S. federal government, including intelligence agencies and Departments of Justice, Agriculture, Health and Human Services, and State.
•Commercial and other revenues primarily include Expertise and Technology provided to U.S. state and local governments, commercial customers, and certain foreign governments and agencies through our International reportable segment.
Direct Costs. The increase in direct costs was primarily attributable to direct labor costs from organic growth on existing programs and higher materials and other direct costs. As a percentage of revenues, total direct costs were 65.7% and 65.3% for fiscal 2023 and 2022, respectively. Direct costs include direct labor, subcontractor costs, materials, and other direct costs.
Indirect Costs and Selling Expenses. The increase in indirect costs was primarily attributable to the incremental costs of running the businesses acquired in fiscal year 2022 and an increase in fringe benefit expenses on a higher labor base. As a percentage of revenues, total indirect costs were 23.7% and 24.5% for fiscal 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Depreciation and Amortization. The increase in depreciation and amortization was primarily attributable to depreciation from the Company’s higher average property and equipment and intangible amortization from the acquisitions completed in fiscal 2022.
Interest Expense and Other, Net. The increase in interest expense and other, net was primarily attributable to higher interest rates on outstanding debt.
Income Taxes. The Company’s effective income tax rate was 20.4% and 19.3% for fiscal 2023 and 2022, respectively. The effective tax rate for fiscal 2023 was favorably impacted by research and development tax credits and the remeasurement of state deferred taxes. The effective tax rate for fiscal 2022 was favorably impacted primarily by federal research tax credits and the remeasurement of state deferred taxes. See “Note 16 – Income Taxes” in Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.
Contract Backlog
The Company’s backlog represents value on existing contracts that has the potential to be recognized into revenues as work is performed. The Company includes unexercised option years in its backlog and excludes the value of task orders that may be awarded under multiple award IDIQ vehicles until such task orders are issued.
The Company’s backlog as of period end is either funded or unfunded:
•Funded backlog represents contract value for which funding has been appropriated less revenues previously recognized on these contracts.
•Unfunded backlog represents estimated values that have the potential to be recognized into revenue from executed contracts for which funding has not been appropriated and unexercised contract options.
As of June 30, 2023, the Company had total backlog of $25.8 billion, compared with $23.3 billion a year ago, an increase of 10.7%. Funded backlog as of June 30, 2023 was $3.7 billion. The total backlog consists of remaining performance obligations plus unexercised options. See “Note 5 – Revenues” in Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information related to remaining performance obligations.
There is no assurance that all funded or potential contract value will result in revenues being recognized. The Company continues to monitor backlog as it is subject to change from execution of new contracts, contract modifications or extensions, government deobligations, early terminations, or other factors. Based on this analysis, an adjustment to the period end balance may be required.
23
Revenues by Contract Type
The Company generates revenues under three basic contract types:
•Cost-plus-fee contracts: This contract type provides for reimbursement of allowable direct expenses and allocable indirect expenses plus an additional negotiated fee. The fee component of the contract may include fixed fees, award fees and incentive fees. Fixed fees are fees that are negotiated and fixed at the inception of the contract. In general, award fees are more subjective in performance criteria and are earned based on overall cost, schedule, and technical performance as measured against contractual requirements. Incentive fees have more objective cost or performance criteria and generally contain a formula based on the relationship of actual costs incurred to target costs.
•Fixed-price contracts: This contract type provides for a fixed-price for specified Expertise and Technology and is often used when there is more certainty regarding the estimated costs to complete the contractual statement of work. Since the contractor bears the risk of cost overruns, there is higher risk and potential profit associated with this contract type.
•Time-and-materials contracts: This contract type provides for a fixed hourly rate for defined contractual labor categories, with reimbursement of billable material and other direct costs. For this contract type, the contractor bears the risk that its labor costs and allocable indirect expenses are greater than the fixed hourly rate defined within the contract.
As discussed further within Item 1A, Risk Factors in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, our earnings and margins may vary based on the mix of our contract types. We generated the following revenues by contract type for the periods presented:

Effects of Inflation
During fiscal 2023, 58.1% of our revenues were generated under cost-reimbursable contracts which automatically adjust revenues to cover costs that are affected by inflation. 11.7% of our revenues were generated under time-and-materials contracts where we adjust labor rates periodically, as permitted. The remaining portion of our business is fixed-price and may span multiple years. We generally have been able to price our time-and-materials and fixed-price contracts in a manner that accommodates the rates of inflation experienced in recent years.
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 borrowings under our Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2023, we had $115.8 million in cash and cash equivalents.
The Company has a $3,200.0 million Credit Facility, which consists of an $1,975.0 million Revolving Facility and a $1,225.0 million Term Loan. The Revolving Facility is a secured facility that permits continuously renewable borrowings and has subfacilities of $100.0 million for same-day swing line borrowings and $25.0 million for stand-by letters of credit. As of June 30, 2023, $1,179.1 million was outstanding under the Term Loan, $525.0 million was outstanding under the Revolving Facility and no borrowings on the swing line.
The Term Loan is a five-year secured facility under which principal payments are due in quarterly installments of $7.7 million through December 31, 2023 and $15.3 million thereafter until the balance is due in full on December 13, 2026. The Credit Facility contains customary financial and restrictive covenants which we have been in compliance with since inception.
Interest rates applicable to loans under the Credit Facility are floating interest rates that, at our option, equal a base rate or a Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) rate, plus in each case, an applicable margin based upon our consolidated total net leverage ratio.
During fiscal year 2023, a provision of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA) went into effect which eliminated the option to deduct domestic research and development costs in the year incurred and instead requires taxpayers to capitalize and amortize such costs over five years. This provision decreased fiscal year 2023 cash flows from operations by $95.0 million and increased net deferred tax assets by a similar amount. Although it is possible that Congress amends this provision, potentially with retroactive effect, we have no assurance that Congress will take any action with respect to this provision. The future impact of this provision will depend on if and when this provision is deferred, modified, or repealed by Congress, including if retroactively, any guidance issued by the Treasury Department regarding the identification of appropriate costs for capitalization, and the amount of future research and development expenses paid or incurred (among other factors).
See “Note 6 – Sales of Receivables” and “Note 12 – Debt” in Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.

A summary of cash flow information is presented below:
| Year Ended June 30, | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 2022 | |||||
| (dollar in thousands) | ||||||
| Net cash provided by operating activities | $ | 388,056 | $ | 745,554 | ||
| Net cash used in investing activities | (75,717) | (689,149) | ||||
| Net cash used in financing activities | (316,108) | (21,209) | ||||
| Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents | 4,741 | (8,423) | ||||
| Net change in cash and cash equivalents | 972 | 26,773 |
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $357.5 million primarily as a result of a $341.3 million increase in cash paid for income taxes, higher interest payments and net unfavorable changes in operating assets and liabilities driven by the timing of vendor payments, partially offset by higher cash received from the Company’s MARPA.
Net cash used in investing activities decreased $613.4 million primarily as a result of a $601.0 million decrease in cash used in acquisitions of businesses and a $10.8 million decrease in capital expenditures.
Net cash used in financing activities increased $294.9 million primarily as a result of a $263.5 million increase in repurchases of common stock, and a $38.7 million increase in net repayments under our Credit Facility.
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, customary capital expenditures, debt service obligations, and other working capital requirements over the next twelve months. We may in the future seek to borrow additional amounts under a long-term debt security. Over the longer term, our ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations necessary to fulfill the obligations under the Credit Facility and any other indebtedness we may incur will depend on our future financial performance which will be affected by many factors outside of our control, including current worldwide economic conditions and financial market conditions.
Contractual Obligations
For a description of the Company’s contractual obligations related to debt, leases, and retirement plans refer to “Note 10 – Leases”, “Note 12 – Debt”, and “Note 17 – Retirement Plans” in Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Commitments and Contingencies
We are subject to a number of reviews, investigations, claims, lawsuits, other uncertainties and future obligations related to our business. For a discussion of these items, see “Note 19 – Commitments and Contingencies” in Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in those financial statements and accompanying notes. We consider the accounting policies and estimates addressed below to be the most important to our financial position and results of operations, either because of the significance of the financial statement item or because they require the exercise of significant judgment and/or use of significant estimates. Although we believe that the estimates are reasonable based on reasonably available facts, due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making those estimates, actual results reported in future periods may differ.
We believe the following accounting policies require significant judgment due to the complex nature of the underlying transactions:
Revenue Recognition
The Company generates almost all of our revenues from three different types of contractual arrangements with the U.S. government: cost-plus-fee, fixed-price, and time-and-materials contracts. Our contracts with the U.S. government are generally subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and are competitively priced based on estimated costs of providing the contractual goods or services.
We account for a contract when the parties have approved the contract and are committed to perform on it, the rights of each party and the payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance, and collectability is probable. At contract inception, the Company determines whether the goods or services to be provided are to be accounted for as a single performance obligation or as multiple performance obligations. This evaluation requires professional judgment as it may impact the timing and pattern of revenue recognition. If multiple performance obligations are identified, we generally use the cost plus a margin approach to determine the relative standalone selling price of each performance obligation.
25
When determining the total transaction price, the Company identifies both fixed and variable consideration elements within the contract. Variable consideration includes any amount within the transaction price that is not fixed, such as: award or incentive fees; performance penalties; unfunded contract value; or other similar items. For our contracts with award or incentive fees, the Company estimates the total amount of award or incentive fee expected to be recognized into revenue. Throughout the performance period, we recognize as revenue a constrained amount of variable consideration only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of the cumulative amount recognized to date will not be required in a subsequent period. Our estimate of variable consideration is periodically adjusted based on significant changes in relevant facts and circumstances. In the period in which we can calculate the final amount of award or incentive fee earned - based on the receipt of the customer’s final performance score or determining that more objective, contractually-defined criteria have been fully satisfied - the Company will adjust our cumulative revenue recognized to date on the contract.
We generally recognize revenues over time throughout the performance period as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided on our services-type revenue arrangements. This continuous transfer of control for our U.S. government contracts is supported by the unilateral right of our customer to terminate the contract for a variety of reasons without having to provide justification for its decision. For our services-type revenue arrangements in which there are a repetitive amount of services that are substantially the same from one month to the next, the Company applies the series guidance. We use a variety of input and output methods that approximate the progress towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation, including: costs incurred, labor hours expended, and time-elapsed measures for our fixed-price stand ready obligations. For certain contracts, primarily our cost-plus and time-and-materials services-type revenue arrangements, we apply the right-to-invoice practical expedient in which revenues are recognized in direct proportion to our present right to consideration for progress towards the complete satisfaction of the performance obligation.
When a performance obligation has a significant degree of interrelation or interdependence between one month’s deliverables and the next, when there is an award or incentive fee, or when there is a significant degree of customization or modification, the Company generally records revenue using a percentage of completion method. For these revenue arrangements, substantially all revenues are recognized over time using a cost-to-cost input method based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to total estimated costs at completion. When estimates of total costs to be incurred on a contract exceed total revenues, a provision for the entire loss on the contract is recorded in the period in which the loss is determined.
Contract modifications are reviewed to determine whether they should be accounted for as part of the original performance obligation or as a separate contract. When contract modifications add distinct goods or services and increase the contract value by an amount that reflects the standalone selling price, those modifications are accounted for as separate contracts. When contract modifications include goods or services that are not distinct from those already provided, the Company records a cumulative adjustment to revenues based on a remeasurement of progress towards the complete satisfaction of the not yet fully delivered performance obligation.
Based on the critical nature of our contractual performance obligations, the Company may proceed with work based on customer direction prior to the completion and signing of formal contract documents. The Company has a formal review process for approving any such work that considers previous experiences with the customer, communications with the customer regarding funding status, and our knowledge of available funding for the contract or program.
Business Combinations
We record 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 assets and liabilities assumed, including intangible assets, requires management to make significant judgments about expected future cash flows, weighted-average cost of capital, discount rates, and expected long-term growth rates. During the measurement period, not to exceed one year from the acquisition date, we may adjust provisional amounts recorded to reflect new information subsequently obtained regarding facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the excess of the fair value of consideration paid for an acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. We recognize purchased intangible assets in connection with our business acquisitions at fair value on the acquisition date. Goodwill and intangible assets, net represent 69.6% and 70.0% of our total assets as of June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively.
We evaluate goodwill for both of our reporting units for impairment at least annually on the first day of the fiscal fourth quarter, or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The evaluation includes comparing the fair value of the relevant reporting unit to its respective carrying value, including goodwill, and utilizes both income and market approaches. The analysis relies on significant judgements and assumptions about expected future cash flows, weighted-average cost of capital, discount rates, expected long-term growth rates, and financial measures derived from observable market data of comparable public companies. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, we completed our annual goodwill assessment and determined that each reporting unit’s fair value significantly exceeded its carrying value.
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized using the method that best reflects how their economic benefits are utilized or, if a pattern of economic benefits cannot be reliably determined, on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which is generally over periods ranging from one to twenty years. Intangible assets with finite lives are assessed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition & Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is provided to enhance the understanding of, and should be read together with, our consolidated financial statements and the Notes to those statements that appear elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Unless otherwise specifically noted, all years refer to our fiscal year which ends on June 30.
Overview
We are a leading provider of Expertise and Technology to Enterprise and Mission customers, supporting national security missions and government modernization/transformation in the intelligence, defense, and federal civilian sectors, both domestically and internationally. The demand for our Expertise and Technology, in large measure, is created by the increasingly complex network, systems, and information environments in which governments and businesses operate, and by the need to stay current with emerging technology while increasing productivity, enhancing security, and, ultimately, improving performance.
Some of our key initiatives include the following:
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | Continue to grow organic revenues across our large, addressable market; |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | Deliver strong profitability and robust cash flows from operations; |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | Differentiate ourselves through our investments, including our strategic mergers and acquisition program, allowing us to enhance our current capabilities and create new customer access points; |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | Recruit and hire a world class workforce to execute on our growing backlog; and |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | Continue our unwavering commitment to our customers while supporting the communities in which we work and live. |
Budgetary Environment
We carefully follow federal budget, legislative and contracting trends and activities and evolve our strategies to take these into consideration. On March 15, 2022, the President signed into law the omnibus appropriations bill that provides full-year funding for the government fiscal year ending September 30, 2022 (GFY22). Of the total approximately $1.5 trillion in discretionary funding, approximately $782 billion is for national defense and approximately $730 billion is for nondefense. These defense and nondefense funding levels represent increases of 5.6% and 6.7%, respectively, over GFY21 enacted levels. GFY22 defense spending in fact increased both over the President’s GFY22 budget request and the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) passed by Congress on December 27, 2021. Defense spending has generally increased over the last several years, and given the current global threat environment, including the conflict in Ukraine, this trend is likely to continue in GFY23. In fact, the President’s initial GFY23 budget proposal calls for an increase in aggregate defense spending of approximately 4% from GFY22 levels. In addition, funding for intelligence programs, including Military Intelligence Programs (MIP) and National Intelligence Programs (NIP), as well as cybersecurity-related programs, is also projected to increase in both GFY22 and GFY23.
While we view the budget environment as constructive and believe there is bipartisan support for continued investment in the areas of defense and national security, it is uncertain when in any particular GFY that appropriations bills will be passed. During those periods of time when appropriations bills have not been passed and signed into law, government agencies operate under a continuing resolution (CR). On September 30, 2021, the President signed a CR, a temporary measure allowing the government to continue operations through December 3, 2021 at prior year funding levels. A second CR was signed on December 3, 2021 that funded government operations through February 18, 2022, and a third CR was signed on February 18, 2022 to fund government operations until the final omnibus bill was passed and signed.
Depending on their scope, duration, and other factors, CRs can negatively impact our business due to delays in new program starts, delays in contract award decisions, and other factors. When a CR expires, unless appropriations bills have been passed by Congress and signed by the President, or a new CR is passed and signed into law, the government must cease operations, or shutdown, except in certain emergency situations or when the law authorizes continued activity. We continuously review our operations in an attempt to identify programs potentially at risk from CRs so that we can consider appropriate contingency plans.
Market Environment
Across our addressable market, we provide expertise and technology to government enterprise and mission customers. Based on the analysis of an independent market consultant retained by the Company, we believe that the total addressable market for our offerings is approximately $240 billion. Our addressable market is expected to continue to grow over the next several years. Approximately 70% of our revenue comes from defense-related customers, including those in the Intelligence Community (IC), with additional revenue coming from non-defense IC, homeland security, and other federal civilian customers.
22
We continue to align the Company’s capabilities with well-funded budget priorities and took steps to maintain a competitive cost structure in line with our expectations of future business opportunities. In light of these actions, as well as the budgetary environment discussed above, we believe we are well positioned to continue to win new business in our large addressable market. We believe that the following trends will influence the USG’s spending in our addressable market:
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | A stable-to-higher USG budget environment, particularly in defense and intelligence-related areas; |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | Increased focus on cyber, space, and the electromagnetic spectrum as key domains for National Security; |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | Increased spend on network and application modernization and enhancements to cyber security posture; |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | Increased investments in advanced technologies (e.g., Artificial Intelligence, 5G), particularly software-based technologies; |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | Increasing focus on near-peer competitors and other nation state threats; |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | Continued focus on counterterrorism, counterintelligence, and counter proliferation as key U.S. security concerns; and |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | Increased demand for innovation and speed of delivery. |
We believe that our customers' use of lowest price/technically acceptable (LPTA) procurements, which contributed to pricing pressures in past years, has moderated, though price still remains an important factor in procurements. We also continue to see protests of major contract awards and delays in USG procurement activities. In addition, many of our federal government contracts require us to employ personnel with security clearances, specific levels of education and specific past work experience. Depending on the level of clearance, security clearances can be difficult and time-consuming to obtain and competition for skilled personnel in the information technology services industry is intense. Additional factors that could affect USG spending in our addressable market include changes in set-asides for small businesses, changes in budget priorities as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and budgetary priorities limiting or delaying federal government spending in general.
Impact of COVID-19
We continue to take steps to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on our employees and our business. The impact of the continued spread of COVID-19 on our business will depend on future developments, which are uncertain and cannot be predicted, as well as other known factors outside our control. The surge of the Omicron variant of COVID-19, for example, resulted in increased positive cases broadly, including within the employee base of some of our government customers. As a result, some of our government customers have limited in-person meetings, reduced access to customer facilities, and have seen impacts to the normal operation of their business. We continue to work with our customers to implement appropriate risk mitigation efforts and alternative work arrangements, as necessary. The surge of Omicron and other COVID-19 variants, both in and outside the U.S., also continues to be one of many reasons for continued supply chain shortages.

| • | Federal civilian agencies’ revenues primarily include expertise and technology provided to non-DoD agencies and departments of the U.S. federal government, including intelligence agencies and Departments of Justice, Agriculture, Health and Human Services, and State. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | Commercial and other revenues primarily include expertise and technology provided to U.S. state and local governments, commercial customers, and certain foreign governments and agencies through our International reportable segment. |
Direct Costs. The increase in direct costs was primarily attributable to the four acquisitions completed in fiscal 2022. As a percentage of revenues, total direct costs were 65.3% and 65.0% for fiscal 2022 and 2021, respectively. Direct costs include direct labor, subcontractor costs, materials, and other direct costs.
Indirect Costs and Selling Expenses. The increase in indirect costs was primarily attributable to the four acquisitions completed in fiscal 2022 and to an increase in fringe benefit expenses. As a percentage of revenues, total indirect costs were 24.5% and 24.0% for fiscal 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Depreciation and Amortization. The increase in depreciation and amortization was primarily attributable to intangible amortization from the four acquisitions completed in fiscal 2022 and increased depreciation from higher property and equipment balances.
Interest Expense and Other, Net. The increase in interest expense and other, net was primarily attributable to higher average outstanding debt balances and the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs related to the December 13, 2021 Credit Facility Amendment.
Income Taxes. The income tax provisions represent effective tax rates of 19.3% and 8.4% for fiscal 2022 and 2021, respectively. The effective income tax rate increased primarily as a result of the tax benefit recognized from the method changes elected at the end of fiscal 2021. See “Note 16 – Income Taxes” in Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.
Contract Backlog
The Company’s backlog represents value on existing contracts that has the potential to be recognized into revenues as work is performed. The Company includes unexercised option years in its backlog 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 as of period end is either funded or unfunded:
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | Funded backlog represents contract value for which funding has been appropriated less revenues previously recognized on these contracts. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | Unfunded backlog represents estimated values that have the potential to be recognized into revenue from executed contracts for which funding has not been appropriated and unexercised contract options. |
As of June 30, 2022, the Company had total backlog of $23.3 billion, compared with $24.2 billion a year ago, a decrease of 3.7%. Funded backlog as of June 30, 2022 was $3.2 billion. The total backlog consists of remaining performance obligations plus unexercised options. See “Note 5 – Revenues” in Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information related to remaining performance obligations.
There is no assurance that all funded or potential contract value will result in revenues being recognized. The Company continues to monitor backlog as it is subject to change from execution of new contracts, contract modifications or extensions, government deobligations, early terminations, or other factors. Based on this analysis, an adjustment to the period end balance may be required.

Revenues by Contract Type
The Company generates revenues under three basic contract types:
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | Cost-plus-fee contracts: This contract type provides for reimbursement of allowable direct expenses and allocable indirect expenses plus an additional negotiated fee. The fee component of the contract may include fixed fees, award fees and incentive fees. Fixed fees are fees that are negotiated and fixed at the inception of the contract. In general, award fees are more subjective in performance criteria and are earned based on overall cost, schedule, and technical performance as measured against contractual requirements. Incentive fees have more objective cost or performance criteria and generally contain a formula based on the relationship of actual costs incurred to target costs. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | Fixed-price contracts: This contract type provides for a fixed-price for specified expertise and technology and is often used when there is more certainty regarding the estimated costs to complete the contractual statement of work. Since the contractor bears the risk of cost overruns, there is higher risk and potential profit associated with this contract type. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | Time-and-materials contracts: This contract type provides for a fixed hourly rate for defined contractual labor categories, with reimbursement of billable material and other direct costs. For this contract type, the contractor bears the risk that its labor costs and allocable indirect expenses are greater than the fixed hourly rate defined within the contract. |
As discussed further within Item 1A, Risk Factors in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, our earnings and margins may vary based on the mix of our contract types. We generated the following revenues by contract type for the periods presented:

Effects of Inflation
During fiscal 2022, 58.6% of our revenues was generated under cost-reimbursable contracts which automatically adjust revenues to cover costs that are affected by inflation. 12.0% of our revenues was generated under time-and-materials contracts where we adjust labor rates periodically, as permitted. The remaining portion of our business is fixed-price and may span multiple years. We generally have been able to price our time-and-materials and fixed-price contracts in a manner that accommodates the rates of inflation experienced in recent years.
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 and available borrowings under our Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2022, we had $114.8 million in cash and cash equivalents.
The Company has a $3,200.0 million Credit Facility, which consists of an $1,975.0 million Revolving Facility and a $1,225.0 million Term Loan. The Revolving Facility is a secured facility that permits continuously renewable borrowings and has subfacilities of $100.0 million for same-day swing line borrowings and $25.0 million for stand-by letters of credit. As of June 30, 2022, $1,209.7 million was outstanding under the Term Loan, $533.0 million was outstanding under the Revolving Facility and no borrowings on the swing line.
The Term Loan is a five-year secured facility under which principal payments are due in quarterly installments of $7.7 million through December 31, 2023 and $15.3 million thereafter until the balance is due in full on December 13, 2026. The Credit Facility contains customary financial and restrictive covenants which we have been in compliance with since inception.
Interest rates applicable to loans under the Credit Facility are floating interest rates that, at our option, equal a base rate or a Eurodollar rate calculated based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus, in each case, an applicable margin based upon our consolidated total net leverage ratio. On July 27, 2017, the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority announced that LIBOR would be discontinued or become unavailable as a reference rate by the end of 2021 and LIBOR will be fully discontinued or become unavailable as a benchmark rate by June 2023. Although our Credit Facility includes provisions to facilitate the adoption by us and our lenders of an alternative benchmark in place of LIBOR no assurance can be made that such alternative benchmark rate will perform in a manger similar to LIBOR or result in interest rates that are at lease as favorable to us as those that would have resulted had LIBOR remained in effect, which could result in an increase in our interest expense.
See “Note 6 – Sales of Receivables” and “Note 12 – Debt” in Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.

On January 1, 2022, a provision of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 went into effect which eliminates the option to deduct domestic research and development costs in the year incurred and instead requires taxpayers to amortize such costs over five years. Congress may defer, modify, or repeal the provision, but the ultimate outcome is uncertain. If no new legislation is passed, the provision would go into effect for the Company’s fiscal year ending June 30, 2023 and is expected to decrease cash flows from operations by approximately $95.0 million and increase net deferred tax assets by a similar amount.
A summary of cash flow information is presented below:
| Year Ended June 30, | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 2021 | |||||||
| (dollar in thousands) | ||||||||
| Net cash provided by operating activities | $ | 745,554 | $ | 592,215 | ||||
| Net cash used in investing activities | (689,149 | ) | (426,646 | ) | ||||
| Net cash used in financing activities | (21,209 | ) | (190,596 | ) | ||||
| Effect of exchange rate changes on cash | (8,423 | ) | 5,822 | |||||
| Net change in cash and cash equivalents | 26,773 | (19,205 | ) |
Net cash provided by operating activities increased $153.3 million primarily as a result of a $264.2 million reduction in cash paid for income taxes, partially offset by a $52.5 million benefit in the prior year from deferrals of employer related social security taxes under the CARES Act compared to a payment of $46.5 million in the current year.
Net cash used in investing activities increased $262.5 million primarily as a result of a $259.2 million increase in cash used in acquisitions of businesses.
Net cash used in financing activities decreased $169.4 million primarily as a result of a $499.3 million reduction in repurchases of common stock, partially offset by a $329.0 million decrease in net borrowings under our Credit Facility.
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, customary capital expenditures, debt service obligations, and other working capital requirements over the next twelve months. We may in the future seek to borrow additional amounts under a long-term debt security. Over the longer term, our ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations necessary to fulfill the obligations under the Credit Facility and any other indebtedness we may incur will depend on our future financial performance which will be affected by many factors outside of our control, including current worldwide economic conditions and financial market conditions.
Contractual Obligations
For a description of the Company’s contractual obligations related to debt, leases, and retirement plans refer to “Note 10 – Leases”, “Note 12 – Debt”, and “Note 17 – Retirement Plans” in Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition, as of June 30, 2022 the Company had $46.6 million of deferred payments of the employer portion of social security taxes as permitted under the CARES Act which will be paid in December 2022.
Commitments and Contingencies
We are subject to a number of reviews, investigations, claims, lawsuits, other uncertainties and future obligations related to our business. For a discussion of these items, see “Note 19 – Commitments and Contingencies” in Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in those financial statements and accompanying notes. We consider the accounting policies and estimates addressed below to be the most important to our financial position and results of operations, either because of the significance of the financial statement item or because they require the exercise of significant judgment and/or use of significant estimates. Although we believe that the estimates are reasonable based on reasonably available facts, due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making those estimates, actual results reported in future periods may differ.
26
We believe the following accounting policies require significant judgment due to the complex nature of the underlying transactions:
Revenue Recognition
The Company generates almost all of our revenues from three different types of contractual arrangements with the U.S. government: cost-plus-fee, fixed-price, and time-and-materials contracts. Our contracts with the U.S. government are generally subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and are competitively priced based on estimated costs of providing the contractual goods or services.
We account for a contract when the parties have approved the contract and are committed to perform on it, the rights of each party and the payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance, and collectability is probable. At contract inception, the Company determines whether the goods or services to be provided are to be accounted for as a single performance obligation or as multiple performance obligations. This evaluation requires professional judgment as it may impact the timing and pattern of revenue recognition. If multiple performance obligations are identified, we generally use the cost plus a margin approach to determine the relative standalone selling price of each performance obligation.
When determining the total transaction price, the Company identifies both fixed and variable consideration elements within the contract. Variable consideration includes any amount within the transaction price that is not fixed, such as: award or incentive fees; performance penalties; unfunded contract value; or other similar items. For our contracts with award or incentive fees, the Company estimates the total amount of award or incentive fee expected to be recognized into revenue. Throughout the performance period, we recognize as revenue a constrained amount of variable consideration only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of the cumulative amount recognized to date will not be required in a subsequent period. Our estimate of variable consideration is periodically adjusted based on significant changes in relevant facts and circumstances. In the period in which we can calculate the final amount of award or incentive fee earned - based on the receipt of the customer’s final performance score or determining that more objective, contractually-defined criteria have been fully satisfied - the Company will adjust our cumulative revenue recognized to date on the contract.
We generally recognize revenues over time throughout the performance period as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided on our services-type revenue arrangements. This continuous transfer of control for our U.S. government contracts is supported by the unilateral right of our customer to terminate the contract for a variety of reasons without having to provide justification for its decision. For our services-type revenue arrangements in which there are a repetitive amount of services that are substantially the same from one month to the next, the Company applies the series guidance. We use a variety of input and output methods that approximate the progress towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation, including: costs incurred, labor hours expended, and time-elapsed measures for our fixed-price stand ready obligations. For certain contracts, primarily our cost-plus and time-and-materials services-type revenue arrangements, we apply the right-to-invoice practical expedient in which revenues are recognized in direct proportion to our present right to consideration for progress towards the complete satisfaction of the performance obligation.
When a performance obligation has a significant degree of interrelation or interdependence between one month’s deliverables and the next, when there is an award or incentive fee, or when there is a significant degree of customization or modification, the Company generally records revenue using a percentage of completion method. For these revenue arrangements, substantially all revenues are recognized over time using a cost-to-cost input method based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to total estimated costs at completion. When estimates of total costs to be incurred on a contract exceed total revenues, a provision for the entire loss on the contract is recorded in the period in which the loss is determined.
Contract modifications are reviewed to determine whether they should be accounted for as part of the original performance obligation or as a separate contract. When contract modifications add distinct goods or services and increase the contract value by an amount that reflects the standalone selling price, those modifications are accounted for as separate contracts. When contract modifications include goods or services that are not distinct from those already provided, the Company records a cumulative adjustment to revenues based on a remeasurement of progress towards the complete satisfaction of the not yet fully delivered performance obligation.
Based on the critical nature of our contractual performance obligations, the Company may proceed with work based on customer direction prior to the completion and signing of formal contract documents. The Company has a formal review process for approving any such work that considers previous experiences with the customer, communications with the customer regarding funding status, and our knowledge of available funding for the contract or program.
Business Combinations
We record 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 assets and liabilities assumed, including intangible assets, requires management to make significant judgments about expected future cash flows, weighted-average cost of capital, discount rates, and expected long-term growth rates. During the measurement period, not to exceed one year from the acquisition date, we may adjust provisional amounts recorded to reflect new information subsequently obtained regarding facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date.
27
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the excess of the fair value of consideration paid for an acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. We recognize purchased intangible assets in connection with our business acquisitions at fair value on the acquisition date. Goodwill and intangible assets, net represent 70.0% and 66.6% of our total assets as of June 30, 2022, and June 30, 2021, respectively.
We evaluate goodwill for both of our reporting units for impairment at least annually on the first day of the fiscal fourth quarter, or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The evaluation includes comparing the fair value of the relevant reporting unit to its respective carrying value, including goodwill, and utilizes both income and market approaches. The analysis relies on significant judgements and assumptions about expected future cash flows, weighted-average cost of capital, discount rates, expected long-term growth rates, and financial measures derived from observable market data of comparable public companies. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, we completed our annual goodwill assessment and determined that each reporting unit’s fair value significantly exceeded its carrying value.
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized using the method that best reflects how their economic benefits are utilized or, if a pattern of economic benefits cannot be reliably determined, on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which is generally over periods ranging from one to twenty years. Intangible assets with finite lives are assessed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition & Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is provided to enhance the understanding of, and should be read together with, our consolidated financial statements and the Notes to those statements that appear elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Unless otherwise specifically noted, all years refer to our fiscal year which ends on June 30.
Overview
We are a leading provider of Expertise and Technology to Enterprise and Mission customers, supporting national security missions and government modernization/transformation in the intelligence, defense, and federal civilian sectors. The demand for our Expertise and Technology, in large measure, is created by the increasingly complex network, systems, and information environments in which governments and businesses operate, and by the need to stay current with emerging technology while increasing productivity, enhancing security, and, ultimately, improving performance.
24
Some of our key initiatives include the following:
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| • | Continue to grow organic revenue across our large, addressable market; |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |

| • | Continue our unwavering commitment to our customers while supporting the communities in which we work and live. |
Budget Environment
We carefully follow federal budget, legislative and contracting trends and activities and evolve our strategies to take these into consideration. On August 2, 2019, the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2019 (BBA 2019) was signed into law. BBA 2019 called for defense spending, including Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO) funds, of $738 billion in government fiscal year (GFY) 2020 and $740.5 billion in GFY 2021. Both represent increases from GFY 2019 levels of $716 billion. On January 1, 2021, the $740 billion National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for GFY 2021 became law. For GFY 2022, the Biden administration has released a budget proposal that calls for an increase in aggregate defense spending of 1.6% from GFY 2021. We believe that bipartisan support remains for continued investment in the areas of defense and national security.
While we view the budget environment as stable and believe there is bipartisan support for continued investment in the areas of defense and national security, it is uncertain when in any particular GFY that appropriations bills will be passed. During those periods of time when appropriations bills have not been passed and signed into law, government agencies operate under a continuing resolution (CR). Depending on their scope, duration, and other factors, CRs can negatively impact our business due to delays in new program starts, delays in contract award decisions, and other factors. When a CR expires, unless appropriations bills have been passed by Congress and signed by the President, or a new CR is passed and signed into law, the government must cease operations, or shutdown, except in certain emergency situations or when the law authorizes continued activity. We continuously review our operations in an attempt to identify programs potentially at risk from CRs so that we can consider appropriate contingency plans.
Market Environment
Across our addressable market, we provide Expertise and Technology to government Enterprise and Mission customers. Based on the analysis of an independent market consultant retained by the Company, we believe that the total addressable market for our offerings is approximately $230 billion. Our addressable market is expected to continue to grow over the next several years. Approximately 70 percent of our revenue comes from defense-related customers, including those in the Intelligence Community (IC), with additional revenue coming from non-defense IC, homeland security, and other federal civilian customers.
We continue to align the Company’s capabilities with well-funded budget priorities and took steps to maintain a competitive cost structure in line with our expectations of future business opportunities. In light of these actions, as well as the budgetary environment discussed above, we believe we are well positioned to continue to win new business in our large addressable market. We believe that the following trends will influence the USG’s spending in our addressable market:
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| • | A stable USG budget environment, particularly in defense and intelligence-related areas; |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| • | A shift in focus from readiness toward increased capabilities, effectiveness, and responsiveness; |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| • | Increased USG interest in faster contracting and acquisition processes; |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| • | Increased focus on cyber, space, and the electromagnetic spectrum as key domains for National Security; |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| • | Continued focus on counterterrorism, counterintelligence, and counter proliferation as key U.S. security concerns; |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| • | Balanced focus on enterprise cost reductions through efficiency, with increased spend on IT infrastructure modernization and enhancements to cyber security protections; and |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| • | Increased investments in advanced technologies (e.g., Artificial Intelligence, 5G). |
25
We believe that our customers' use of lowest price/technically acceptable (LPTA) procurements, which contributed to pricing pressures in prior years, has moderated, though price still remains an important factor in procurements. We also continue to see protests of major contract awards and delays in USG procurement activities. In addition, many of our federal government contracts require us to employ personnel with security clearances, specific levels of education and specific past work experience. Depending on the level of clearance, security clearances can be difficult and time-consuming to obtain and competition for skilled personnel in the information technology services industry is intense. Additional factors that could affect USG spending in our addressable market include changes in set-asides for small businesses, changes in budget priorities as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and budgetary priorities limiting or delaying federal government spending in general.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in those financial statements and accompanying notes. We consider the accounting policies and estimates addressed below to be the most important to our financial position and results of operations, either because of the significance of the financial statement item or because they require the exercise of significant judgment and/or use of significant estimates. Although we believe that the estimates are reasonable based on reasonably available facts, due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making those estimates, actual results reported in future periods may differ.
We believe the following accounting policies require significant judgment due to the complex nature of the underlying transactions:
Revenue Recognition
The Company generates almost all of our revenue from three different types of contractual arrangements with the U.S. government: cost-plus-fee, fixed-price, and time-and-materials (T&M) contracts. Our contracts with the U.S. government are generally subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and are competitively priced based on estimated costs of providing the contractual goods or services.
We account for a contract when the parties have approved the contract and are committed to perform on it, the rights of each party and the payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance, and it is probable that we will collect substantially all of the consideration.
At contract inception, the Company determines whether the goods or services to be provided are to be accounted for as a single performance obligation or as multiple performance obligations. This evaluation requires professional judgment as it may impact the timing and pattern of revenue recognition. If multiple performance obligations are identified, we generally use the cost plus a margin approach to determine the relative standalone selling price of each performance obligation.
When determining the total transaction price, the Company identifies both fixed and variable consideration elements within the contract. Variable consideration includes any amount within the transaction price that is not fixed, such as: award or incentive fees; performance penalties; unfunded contract value; or other similar items. For our contracts with award or incentive fees, the Company estimates the total amount of award or incentive fee expected to be recognized into revenue. Throughout the performance period, we recognize as revenue a constrained amount of variable consideration only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of the cumulative amount recognized to date will not be required in a subsequent period. Our estimate of variable consideration is periodically adjusted based on significant changes in relevant facts and circumstances. In the period in which we can calculate the final amount of award or incentive fee earned - based on the receipt of the customer’s final performance score or determining that more objective, contractually-defined criteria have been fully satisfied - the Company will adjust our cumulative revenue recognized to date on the contract. This adjustment to revenue will be disclosed as the amount of revenue recognized in the current period for a previously satisfied performance obligation.
We generally recognize revenue over time throughout the performance period as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided on our services-type revenue arrangements. This continuous transfer of control for our U.S. government contracts is supported by the unilateral right of our customer to terminate the contract for a variety of reasons without having to provide justification for its decision. For our services-type revenue arrangements in which there are a repetitive amount of services that are substantially the same from one month to the next, the Company applies the series guidance. We use a variety of input and output methods that approximate the progress towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation, including: costs incurred, labor hours expended, and time-elapsed measures for our fixed-price stand ready obligations. For certain contracts, primarily our cost-plus and T&M services-type revenue arrangements, we apply the right-to-invoice practical expedient in which revenue is recognized in direct proportion to our present right to consideration for progress towards the complete satisfaction of the performance obligation.
26
When a performance obligation has a significant degree of interrelation or interdependence between one month’s deliverables and the next, when there is an award or incentive fee, or when there is a significant degree of customization or modification, the Company generally records revenue using a percentage of completion method. For these revenue arrangements, substantially all revenue is recognized over time using a cost-to-cost input method based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to total estimated costs at completion. When estimates of total costs to be incurred on a contract exceed total revenue, a provision for the entire loss on the contract is recorded in the period in which the loss is determined.
Contract modifications are reviewed to determine whether they should be accounted for as part of the original performance obligation or as a separate contract. When a contract modification changes the scope or price and the additional performance obligations are at their standalone selling price, the original contract is terminated and the Company accounts for the change prospectively when the new goods or services to be transferred are distinct from those already provided. When the contract modification includes goods or services that are not distinct from those already provided, the Company records a cumulative adjustment to revenue based on a remeasurement of progress towards the complete satisfaction of the not yet fully delivered performance obligation.
Based on the critical nature of our contractual performance obligations, the Company may proceed with work based on customer direction prior to the completion and signing of formal contract documents. The Company has a formal review process for approving any such work that considers previous experiences with the customer, communications with the customer regarding funding status, and our knowledge of available funding for the contract or program.
Accounting for Business Combinations, Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets
The purchase price of an acquired business is allocated to the tangible assets and separately identifiable intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed based upon their respective fair values, with the excess recorded as goodwill.
The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were preliminarily determined using income, market and cost valuation methods. The income approach was primarily used to value the customer relationships intangible assets. The income approach indicates value for an asset or liability based on the present value of cash flow projected to be generated over the remaining economic life of the asset or liability being measured. Both the amount and the duration of the cash flows are considered from a market participant perspective. Our estimates of market participant net cash flows considered historical and projected pricing, operational performance including company specific synergies, material and labor pricing, and other relevant customer, contractual and market factors. Where appropriate, the net cash flows are adjusted to reflect the uncertainties associated with the underlying assumptions, as well as the risk profile of the net cash flows utilized in the valuation. The adjusted future cash flows are then discounted to present value using an appropriate discount rate. Projected cash flow is discounted at a required rate of return that reflects the relative risk of achieving the cash flow and the time value of money. The fair values of the tangible assets and acquired liabilities assumed, were determined using a combination of market and cost valuation methods. The market approach is a valuation technique that uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets, liabilities, or a group of assets and liabilities. Valuation techniques consistent with the market approach often use market multiples derived from a set of comparables. The cost approach, which estimates value by determining the current cost of replacing an asset with another of equivalent economic utility.
We evaluate goodwill at least annually for impairment, or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The evaluation includes comparing the fair value of the relevant reporting unit to the carrying value, including goodwill, of such unit. The level at which we test goodwill for impairment requires us to determine whether the operations below our operating segments constitute a self-sustaining business for which discrete financial information is available and segment management regularly reviews the operating results. If the fair value exceeds the carrying value, no impairment loss is recognized. However, if the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the goodwill of the reporting unit may be impaired. Impairment is measured by comparing the derived fair value of the goodwill to its carrying value. Separately identifiable intangible assets with estimable useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment if impairment indicators are present.
We estimate the fair value of our reporting units using both an income approach and a market approach. The valuation process considers our estimates of the future operating performance of each reporting unit. Companies in similar industries are researched and analyzed and we consider the domestic and international economic and financial market conditions, both in general and specific to the industry in which we operate, prevailing as of the valuation date. The income approach utilizes discounted cash flows.
We evaluate goodwill as of the first day of the fiscal fourth quarter. In addition, we will perform interim impairment testing should circumstances requiring it arise. We completed our annual goodwill assessment as of April 1, 2021 and no impairment charge was necessary as a result of this assessment. We have concluded that none of our reporting units are at risk of a goodwill impairment in the near term as their fair values are considerably greater than their carrying values.
27
Determining the fair values of the reporting units inherently involves management judgments regarding assumptions such as future sales, profits and cash flows, determination of the discount rate, weighting of the income and market approaches, and the effect of the market conditions on those assumptions. Due to the variables inherent in the estimation of a reporting unit’s fair value and the relative size of our goodwill, differences in assumptions could have a material effect on one or more of our reporting units and could result in a goodwill impairment charge in a future period.

Revenue. For the twelve months ended June 30, 2021, total revenue was $6.0 billion, 5.7 percent greater than last year with 5.0 percent from organic revenue growth. The remaining growth in revenue was attributable to acquired revenues. Out of our primary customer groups, Department of Defense and Federal Civilian revenue increased by $186.0 million and $117.9 million, respectively, compared with the same period a year ago.
The following table summarizes revenue by customer type with related percentages of revenue for the three most recent fiscal years:

| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| • | DoD revenue includes services and products provided to the U.S. Army, our single largest customer, where our services focus on supporting readiness, tactical military intelligence, and communications systems. DoD revenue also includes contracts with the U.S. Navy and other DoD agencies. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| • | Federal civilian agencies’ revenue primarily includes services and products provided to non-DoD agencies and departments of the U.S. federal government, including intelligence agencies and Departments of Justice, Agriculture, Health and Human Services, and State. |

| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| • | Commercial and other revenue primarily includes services and products provided to U.S. state and local governments, commercial customers, and certain foreign governments and agencies through our International reportable segment. |
Direct Costs. For the twelve months ended June 30, 2021, direct costs increased by $211.7 million or 5.7 percent, compared with the same period a year ago. The increase is primarily related to direct and subcontractor labor costs from organic growth on existing programs and higher other direct costs against our revenue arrangements, partially offset by a reduction in travel related expenses. As a percentage of revenue, total direct costs were 65.0 percent and 65.0 percent, respectively, for FY2021 and FY2020.
Indirect Costs and Selling Expenses. For the twelve months ended June 30, 2021, indirect costs and selling expenses increased by $16.0 million or 1.1 percent, compared with the same period a year ago. The increase is primarily related to increased labor-related expenses, including fringe benefits, and purchases of other professional services, partially offset by reduced indirect travel, incentive compensation and bid and proposal (B&P) costs.
Depreciation and Amortization. For the twelve months ended June 30, 2021, depreciation and amortization expense increased by $14.7 million or 13.3 percent, compared with the same period a year ago. This increase was primarily attributable to intangible amortization from acquisitions and increased depreciation from higher property and equipment balances.
Interest Expense and Other, Net. For the twelve months ended June 30, 2021, interest expense and other, net decreased by $16.2 million or 28.9 percent, compared with the same period a year ago. The decrease in interest expense is primarily attributable to lower average outstanding debt balances on the Company’s Credit Facility and lower interest rates.
Income Taxes. The effective income tax rate in FY2021, FY2020, and FY2019, was 8.4 percent, 20.0 percent, and 19.0 percent, respectively. The effective income tax rate decreased in FY2021 primarily as a result of the $56.2 million benefit related to the carryback of the federal tax net operating loss (NOL) pursuant to provisions under the CARES Act (see Note 20), as well as an increase in research and development credits for past and current year tax filings.
Contract Backlog
The Company’s backlog represents total value on our existing contracts that has the potential to be recognized into revenue as work is performed. The Company includes unexercised option years in its backlog amount and excludes task orders that may be issued underneath a multiple award IDIQ vehicle until such task orders are awarded.
The Company’s backlog as of period end is either funded or unfunded:
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| • | Funded backlog represents contract value appropriated by a customer that is expected to be recognized into revenue. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| • | Unfunded backlog represents the sum of unappropriated contract value on executed contracts and unexercised option years that is expected to be recognized into revenue. |
As of June 30, 2021, the Company had total backlog of $24.2 billion, compared with $21.6 billion a year ago, an increase of 12.0 percent. Contract awards in FY2021 were $9.2 billion, a decrease of 20.7 percent compared with the same period a year ago. Funded backlog as of June 30, 2021 was $3.3 billion. The total backlog consists of remaining performance obligations (see Note 11, Revenue Recognition, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K) plus unexercised options.
There is no assurance that all funded or potential contract value will result in revenue being recognized. The Company continues to monitor our backlog as it is subject to change from execution of new contracts, contract modifications or extensions, government deobligations, or early terminations. Based on this analysis, an adjustment to the period end balance may be required.

Revenue by Contract Type
The Company generates revenue under three basic contract types:
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| • | Cost-plus-fee contracts: This contract type provides for reimbursement of allowable direct expenses and allocable indirect expenses plus an additional negotiated fee. The fee component of the contract may include fixed fees, award fees and incentive fees. Fixed fees are fees that are negotiated and fixed at the inception of the contract. In general, award fees are more subjective in performance criteria and are earned based on overall cost, schedule, and technical performance as measured against contractual requirements. Incentive fees have more objective cost or performance criteria and generally contain a formula based on the relationship of actual costs incurred to target costs. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| • | Firm fixed-price contracts: This contract type provides for a fixed price for specified products, systems, and services and is often used when there is more certainty regarding the estimated costs to complete the contractual statement of work. Since the contractor bears the risk of cost overruns, there is higher risk and potential profit associated with this contract type. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| • | Time and materials contracts: This contract type provides for a fixed hourly rate for defined contractual labor categories, with reimbursement of billable material and other direct costs. For this contract type, the contractor bears the risk that its labor costs and allocable indirect expenses are greater than the fixed hourly rate defined within the contract. |
As discussed further within Item 1A, Risk Factors in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, our earnings and margins may vary based on the mix of our contract types. We generated the following revenue on our cost-plus-fee, fixed-price, and time-and-materials contracts during each of the last three fiscal years:
| Years Ended June 30, | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Effects of Inflation
During FY2021, 58.0 percent of our revenue was generated under cost-reimbursable contracts which automatically adjust revenue to cover costs that are affected by inflation. 12.7 percent of our revenue was generated under T&M contracts, where labor rates for many of the services provided are often fixed for several years. Under certain T&M contracts containing IDIQ procurement arrangements, we adjust labor rates annually as permitted. The remaining portion of our business is fixed-price and may span multiple years. We generally have been able to price our T&M and fixed-price contracts in a manner that accommodates the rates of inflation experienced in recent years.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
To date, COVID-19 has not had a significant impact on our liquidity, cash flows or capital resources. However, the continued spread of COVID-19 has led to disruption and volatility in the global capital markets, which, depending on future developments, could impact our capital resources and liquidity in the future.
Existing cash and cash equivalents and cash generated by operations are our primary sources of liquidity, as well as sales of receivables under our MARPA (as defined and discussed in Note 14) and available borrowings under our Credit Facility (as defined in Note 15) described below.
The Company has a $2,438.4 million Credit Facility, which consists of an $1,500.0 million Revolving Facility and a $938.4 million Term Loan. The Revolving Facility is a secured facility that permits continuously renewable borrowings and has subfacilities of $100.0 million for same-day swing line borrowings and $25.0 million for stand-by letters of credit. As of June 30, 2021, $797.6 million was outstanding under the Term Loan, $945.0 million was outstanding under the Revolving Facility and no borrowings on the swing line.
The Term Loan is a five-year secured facility under which principal payments are due in quarterly installments of $11.7 million until the balance is due in full on June 30, 2024.
30
The interest rates applicable to loans under the Credit Facility are floating interest rates that, at our option, equal a base rate or a Eurodollar rate plus, in each case, an applicable margin based upon our consolidated total leverage ratio.
The Credit Facility requires us to comply with certain financial covenants, including a maximum total leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio. The Credit Facility also includes customary negative covenants restricting or limiting our ability to guarantee or incur additional indebtedness, grant liens or other security interests to third parties, make loans or investments, transfer assets, declare dividends or redeem or repurchase capital stock or make other distributions, prepay subordinated indebtedness and engage in mergers, acquisitions or other business combinations, in each case except as expressly permitted under the Credit Facility. Since the inception of the Credit Facility, we have been in compliance with all of the financial covenants. A majority of our assets serve as collateral under the Credit Facility.
A summary of the change in cash and cash equivalents is presented below:
| Years Ended June 30, | ||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2021 | 2020 | 2019 | ||||||||||
| (dollar amounts in thousands) | ||||||||||||
| Net cash provided by operating activities | $ | 592,215 | $ | 518,705 | $ | 555,297 | ||||||

| Net change in cash and cash equivalents | (19,205 | ) | 35,208 | 5,834 |
Cash and cash equivalents were $88.0 million and $107.2 million as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Our operating cash flow was $592.2 million and $518.7 million for FY2021 and FY2020, respectively. This represents an increase of $73.5 million or 14.2 percent. The year-over-year increase primarily relates to increases of $136.0 million in FY2021 net income and $52.5 million related to deferrals of employer related social security taxes under the CARES Act, partially offset by $89.6 million of other net unfavorable working capital changes and a $25.4 million decrease in net cash received from the Company's MARPA.
Cash used in investing activities was $426.6 million and $178.5 million during FY2021 and FY2020, respectively. During FY2021 we paid $356.3 million for business acquisitions, as compared to $106.2 million during FY2020. Capital expenditures of $73.1 million and $72.3 million during FY2021 and FY2020, respectively, accounted for a majority of the remaining funds used in investing activities.
Cash used in financing activities was $190.6 million and $303.4 million during FY2021 and FY2020, respectively. During FY2021, we had net borrowings of $329.1 million under our Credit Facility compared to net repayments of $262.9 million in FY2020. During FY2021, our net borrowings were primarily used to finance the $500.0 million repurchase of our common stock (as discussed in Note 26). During FY2021 and FY2020 we also paid taxes on the settlement of employee equity transactions of $19.7 million and $31.4 million, respectively.
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, customary capital expenditures, debt service obligations, and other working capital requirements over the next twelve months. We may in the future seek to borrow additional amounts under a long-term debt security. Over the longer term, our ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations necessary to fulfill the obligations under the Credit Facility and any other indebtedness we may incur will depend on our future financial performance which will be affected by many factors outside of our control, including current worldwide economic conditions and financial market conditions.
