First Quarter of Fiscal Year 2026: Summary Operating Results

First Quarter Summary Results

Revenues for the quarter increased $30 million or 2% compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to ramp up in volume in existing and new contracts, partially offset by contract completions.

Operating income as a percentage of revenues decreased from the comparable prior year period primarily due to timing and volume mix in our contract portfolio.

Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ as a percentage of revenues for the quarter decreased to 8.4% from 9.0% for the same period in the prior year primarily due to timing and volume mix in our contract portfolio.

Diluted earnings per share for the quarter was $1.42 compared to $1.48 in the prior year quarter. Adjusted diluted earnings per share⁽¹⁾ for both the current and prior year quarter was $1.92. The weighted-average diluted shares outstanding during the quarter decreased to 47.8 million from 52.1 million during the prior year quarter.

⁽¹⁾Non-GAAP measure, see Schedule 6 for information about this measure.

Cash Generation and Capital Deployment

Cash flows provided by operating activities for the first quarter increased $2 million compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to higher cash provided by the Master Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement (“MARPA Facility”) and lower incentive-based compensation payments in the current year, partially offset by timing of vendor payments and other changes in working capital.

During the quarter, SAIC deployed $152 million of capital, primarily consisting of $125 million of plan share repurchases and $19 million in cash dividends.

Quarterly Dividend Declared

Subsequent to quarter end, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.37 per share of the Company’s common stock payable on July 25, 2025 to stockholders of record on July 11, 2025. SAIC intends to continue paying dividends on a quarterly basis, although the declaration of any future dividends will be determined by the Board of Directors each quarter and will depend on earnings, financial condition, capital requirements and other factors.

Backlog and Contract Awards

Net bookings for the quarter were approximately $2.4 billion, which reflects a book-to-bill ratio of 1.3 and a trailing twelve months book-to-bill ratio of 0.8. SAIC’s estimated backlog at the end of the quarter was approximately $22.3 billion. Of the total backlog amount, approximately $3.3 billion was funded.

Notable New and Recompete Awards:

U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (CCDC) Aviation and Missile Center (AvMC): During the quarter, SAIC was awarded the System Software Lifecycle Engineering contract, a five-year (one year base, plus four, one-year option periods) $1.8 billion contract to continue mission engineering, integration, software development, and other life cycle support to CCDC-AvMC. Under the five-year award, SAIC will continue to develop and integrate advanced technologies throughout the software life cycle, including software development and maintenance.

Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation: During the quarter, SAIC was awarded a $327 million contract to continue delivering essential IT services for the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation. Under this eight-year (approximately 1-year base, plus seven, one-year option periods) contract renewal, SAIC will provide seamless operation across various IT functions including service desk, desktop support, user services, platform support, network and database support, and cloud migration.

U.S. Space and Intelligence Community: During the quarter, SAIC was awarded approximately $300 million of contract awards by space and intelligence organizations. These awards represent a combination of new business and recompetes, including a four-year, $140 million task order to provide enterprise cloud services.

Notable Awards Subsequent to Period End (not included in current quarter bookings):

GAAP to Non-GAAP Guidance Reconciliation

The Company does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking adjusted diluted EPS to GAAP diluted EPS, adjusted EBITDA margin to GAAP net income or free cash flow to GAAP net cash flows from operating activities due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation. Because certain deductions for non-GAAP exclusions used to calculate net income and cash flows from operating activities may vary significantly based on actual events, the Company is not able to forecast GAAP diluted EPS, GAAP net income or GAAP net cash flows from operating activities with reasonable certainty. The variability of the above charges may have an unpredictable and potentially significant impact on our future GAAP financial results.

Risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause or contribute to these material differences include those discussed in the “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Legal Proceedings” sections of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as updated in any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other filings with the SEC, which may be viewed or obtained through the Investor Relations section of our website at saic.com or on the SEC’s website at sec.gov.

Operating and adjusted operating income⁽¹⁾ as a percentage of revenues decreased from the comparable prior year period primarily due to timing and volume mix in our contract portfolio.

⁽¹⁾Non-GAAP measure, see Schedule 6 for information about this measure.

Schedule 5:

Backlog represents the estimated amount of future revenues to be recognized under negotiated contracts and task orders as work is performed and excludes contract awards which have been protested by competitors until the protest is resolved in our favor. SAIC segregates backlog into two categories, funded backlog and negotiated unfunded backlog. Funded backlog for contracts with government agencies primarily represents contracts for which funding is appropriated less revenues previously recognized on these contracts, and does not include the unfunded portion of contracts where funding is incrementally appropriated or authorized by the U.S. government and other customers even though the contract may call for performance over a number of years. Funded backlog for contracts with non-government agencies represents the estimated value of contracts which may cover multiple future years under which SAIC is obligated to perform, less revenues previously recognized on these contracts. Negotiated unfunded backlog represents the estimated future revenues to be earned from negotiated contracts for which funding has not been appropriated or authorized, and unexercised priced contract options. Negotiated unfunded backlog does not include any estimate of future potential task orders expected to be awarded under indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ), U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) schedules or other master agreement contract vehicles, with the exception of certain IDIQ contracts where task orders are not competitively awarded and separately priced but instead are used as a funding mechanism, and where there is a basis for estimating future revenues and funding on future anticipated task orders.

Schedule 6:

EBITDA is a performance measure that is calculated by taking net income and excluding interest and loss on sale of receivables, provision for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is a performance measure that excludes the impact of non-recurring transactions that we do not consider to be indicative of our ongoing operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by taking EBITDA and excluding acquisition and integration costs, impairments, restructuring costs, and any other material non-recurring costs. The acquisition and integration costs relate to the Company’s acquisitions. The restructuring and impairment costs represent the reorganization and facilities optimization costs or impairments of long-lived assets. The recovery of acquisition and integration costs and restructuring and impairment costs relate to costs recovered through the Company’s indirect rates in accordance with Cost Accounting Standards. We believe that these performance measures provide management and investors with useful information in assessing trends in our ongoing operating performance and may provide greater visibility in understanding the long-term financial performance of the Company.

⁽¹⁾Non-GAAP measure, see above for definition.

Schedule 6 (continued):

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

⁽¹⁾Non-GAAP measure, see above for definition.

Schedule 6 (continued):

Adjusted diluted earnings per share is a performance measure that excludes the impact of non-recurring transactions that we do not consider to be indicative of our ongoing operating performance. The acquisition and integration costs relate to the Company’s acquisitions. The restructuring and impairment costs represent the reorganization and facilities optimization costs or impairments of long-lived assets. The recovery of acquisition and integration costs and restructuring and impairment costs relate to costs recovered through the Company’s indirect rates in accordance with Cost Accounting Standards. Adjusted diluted earnings per share also excludes amortization of intangible assets because we do not have a history of significant acquisition activity, we do not acquire businesses on a predictable cycle, and the amount of an acquisition’s purchase price allocated to intangible assets and the related amortization term are unique to each acquisition. We believe that this performance measure provides management and investors with useful information in assessing trends in our ongoing operating performance and may provide greater visibility in understanding the long-term financial performance of the Company.

⁽¹⁾Non-GAAP measure, see above for definition.

Schedule 6 (continued):

Free cash flow is calculated by taking cash flows provided by operating activities less expenditures for property, plant, and equipment and less cash flows from our Master Accounts Receivable Purchasing Agreement (MARPA Facility) for the sale of certain designated eligible U.S. government receivables. Under the MARPA Facility, the Company can sell eligible receivables up to a maximum amount of $300 million. We believe that free cash flow provides management and investors with useful information in assessing trends in our cash flows and in comparing them to other peer companies, many of whom present similar non-GAAP liquidity measures. This measure should not be considered as a measure of residual cash flow available for discretionary purposes.

⁽¹⁾Non-GAAP measure, see above for definition.
