NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 1–Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Leidos Holdings, Inc. ("Leidos"), a Delaware corporation, is a holding company whose direct 100 %-owned subsidiary and principal operating company is Leidos, Inc. Leidos, is an industry and technology leader serving government and commercial customers with smarter, more efficient digital and mission innovations. Headquartered in Reston, Virginia, with 47,000 global employees, Leidos' customers include the U.S. Department of Defense ("DoD"), the U.S. Intelligence Community, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Aviation Administration, the Department of Veterans Affairs and many other U.S. civilian, state and local government agencies, foreign government agencies and commercial businesses. Unless indicated otherwise, references to "we," "us" and "our" refer collectively to Leidos Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

We have a controlling interest in Hanford Mission Integration Solutions, LLC ("HMIS"), the legal entity for the follow-on contract to Mission Support Alliance, LLC's ("MSA") contract and a joint venture with Centerra Group, LLC and Parsons Government Services, Inc. During the quarter ended July 4, 2025, we dissolved our controlling interest in MSA. The financial results for HMIS are consolidated into our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements also include the balances of all voting interest entities in which Leidos has a controlling voting interest ("subsidiaries") and a variable interest entity ("VIE") in which Leidos is the primary beneficiary. The consolidated balances of the VIE are not material to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods presented. Intercompany accounts and transactions between consolidated companies have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). Certain disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingencies at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management evaluates these estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis, including those relating to estimated profitability of long-term contracts, indirect billing rates, allowances for doubtful accounts, inventories, right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, fair value and impairment of intangible assets and goodwill, income taxes, stock-based compensation expense and contingencies. These estimates have been prepared by management on the basis of the most current and best available information; however, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Certain amounts in the prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. We disaggregated "Deferred tax assets" from "Other long-term assets" and "Deferred tax liabilities" from "Other long-term liabilities" on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, we combined "Net proceeds from sale of assets" into "Other" within net cash used in investing activities on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

We changed our Cash and Cash Equivalents policy to exclude outstanding payments from “Cash and cash equivalents” on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Prior year financial information has been updated to conform to our current presentation on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. See the Cash and Cash Equivalents section below for further discussion of the change and the impact on the financial statements.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which consist of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation thereof. The results reported in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 11, 2025.

ACCOUNTING STANDARDS UPDATES ISSUED BUT NOT YET ADOPTED

ASU 2023-09 Income Taxes

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, to enhance the transparency and usefulness of income tax disclosures. The update requires enhancements to the annual rate reconciliation, including disclosure of specific categories and additional information for reconciling items meeting a quantitative threshold. The update also requires disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by federal, state and foreign taxes, and individual jurisdictions meeting a quantitative threshold.

The amendments in this update are effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and may be adopted on a prospective or retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. We plan to adopt these amendments using the prospective approach for annual disclosures in fiscal 2025 and do not expect them to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

ASU 2024-03 Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, to enhance the transparency of certain expense disclosures. The update requires disclosure of specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. The update requires disaggregated information about certain prescribed expense categories underlying any relevant income statement expense caption.

The amendments in this update are effective for public entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The amendments may be adopted either prospectively or retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impacts of this update and plan to adopt these amendments for annual disclosures in fiscal 2027 and interim disclosures in fiscal 2028.

ASU 2025-06 Intangibles - Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06 which amends certain aspects of the accounting and disclosure of Internal use software costs. Current guidance requires capitalization of internal-use software development costs depending on the nature of the costs and the project stage during which they occur. The amendments in this update remove references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages and require entities to start capitalizing software development costs when a) management authorizes and commits to funding the software project, and b) it is probable that the project will be completed, and the software will be used to perform the intended function.

The amendments in this update are effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods, and may be adopted on a prospective, modified or retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impacts of this update and plan to adopt these amendments using the prospective approach in fiscal 2026. We do not expect them to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

CHANGES IN ESTIMATES ON CONTRACTS

Changes in estimates related to contracts accounted for using the cost-to-cost method of accounting are recognized in the period in which such changes are made for the inception-to-date effect of the changes, with the exception of contracts acquired through a business combination, where the adjustment is made for the period commencing from the date of acquisition.

Changes in estimates on contracts were as follows:


	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
(in millions, except per share data)	October 3, 2025		September 27, 2024		October 3, 2025		September 27, 2024

The impact on diluted earnings per share ("EPS") attributable to Leidos common stockholders is calculated using the statutory tax rate.

Revenue Recognized from Prior Obligations

Revenue recognized from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods was $ 18 million and $ 32 million for the three and nine months ended October 3, 2025, respectively, and $ 78 million and $ 12 million for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2024, respectively. The changes primarily relate to revisions of variable consideration including award and incentive fees, and revisions to estimates at completion resulting from changes in contract scope, mitigation of contract risks or true-ups of contract estimates at the end of contract performance.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Our cash equivalents are primarily comprised of investments in several large institutional money market accounts, with original maturity of three months or less. Effective as of the first quarter of fiscal 2025, we changed our policy to exclude outstanding payments from “Cash and cash equivalents” on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. To reflect the change in accounting policy, we recast "Cash and cash equivalents" and "Accounts payable and accrued liabilities" on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 3, 2025, reducing both balances by $ 94 million from the previously reported amounts. The recast of the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 27, 2024, resulted in an increase of $ 48 million to net cash provided by operations.

We believe this presentation enhances the usefulness of financial reporting and enhances comparability to align with industry practice. There is no impact to our condensed consolidated statements of operations, including EPS, condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income, or condensed consolidated statements of equity. All periods presented have been adjusted.

RESTRICTED CASH

We have restricted cash balances, primarily representing advances from customers that are restricted for use on certain expenditures related to that customer's contract. Restricted cash balances are included as "Other current assets" in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Our restricted cash balances were $ 123 million and $ 141 million at October 3, 2025, and January 3, 2025, respectively.

Note 2–Revenues

REMAINING PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS

Remaining performance obligations ("RPO") represent the expected value of exercised contracts, both funded and unfunded, less revenue recognized to date. RPO does not include unexercised option periods and future potential task orders expected to be awarded under indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity ("IDIQ") contracts, General Services Administration Schedule 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.

As of October 3, 2025, we had $ 17 billion of RPO and expect to recognize approximately 64 % and 82 % over the next 12 months and 24 months, respectively, with the remainder to be recognized thereafter.

DISAGGREGATION OF REVENUES

We disaggregate revenues by customer-type, contract-type and geographic location for each of our reportable segments.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Revenues by customer-type, contract-type and geographic location exclude lease income of $ 20 million and $ 57 million for the three and nine months ended October 3, 2025, respectively, and $ 21 million and $ 70 million for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2024, respectively.

CONTRACT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

Performance obligations are satisfied either over time as work progresses or at a point in time. Firm-fixed-price contracts are typically billed to the customer using milestone payments while cost-reimbursable and time and materials contracts are typically billed to the customer on a monthly or bi-weekly basis as indicated by the negotiated billing terms and conditions of the contract. As a result, the timing of revenue recognition, customer billings and cash collections for each contract results in a net contract asset or liability at the end of each reporting period.

Contract assets consist of unbilled receivables, which is the amount of revenue recognized that exceeds the amount billed to the customer. Unbilled receivables exclude amounts billable where the right to consideration is solely subject to the passage of time. Contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue, which represents cash advances received prior to performance for programs and billings in excess of revenue recognized.

The components of contract assets and contract liabilities consisted of the following:


(in millions)	Balance sheet line item	October 3, 2025		January 3, 2025
Contract assets - current:
Unbilled receivables	Receivables, net	$	949	$	842
Contract liabilities - current:
Deferred revenue (1)	Accounts payable and accrued liabilities	$	396	$	333
Contract liabilities - non-current:
Deferred revenue (1)	Other long-term liabilities	$	6	$	10

(1) Certain contracts record revenue net of cost of revenues, and therefore, the respective deferred revenue balance will not fully convert to revenue.

The increase in unbilled receivables was primarily due to revenue recognized on certain contracts, partially offset by the timing of billings on certain contracts. The increase in deferred revenue was primarily due to the timing of advanced payments from customers, offset by revenue recognized during the period.

For the three and nine months ended October 3, 2025, $ 21 million and $ 220 million, respectively, of revenue recognized was included as a contract liability at January 3, 2025. For the three and nine months ended September 27, 2024, $ 45 million and $ 256 million, respectively, of revenue recognized was included as a contract liability at December 29, 2023.

Note 3–Acquisitions, Goodwill and Intangible Assets

KUDU DYNAMICS ACQUISITION

On May 23, 2025 (the "Purchase Date"), we completed the acquisition of Savanna Industries, Inc. ("Kudu Dynamics") for a final purchase consideration of $ 293 million, net of $ 29 million of cash acquired. The Kudu Dynamics business provides artificial intelligence enabled cyber capabilities for defense, intelligence and homeland security customers.

The preliminary goodwill recognized of $ 229 million represents intellectual capital and the acquired assembled workforce, neither of which qualify for recognition as a separate intangible asset. All of the goodwill recognized is tax deductible.

The following table summarizes the final fair value of intangible assets acquired at the Purchase Date and the related weighted average amortization period:


	Weighted Amortization Period	Fair Value

Program intangible assets are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives in proportion to the pattern of economic benefit based on expected future discounted cash flows. Backlog intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Customer relationships and software and technology intangible assets are amortized either on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives or over their respective estimated useful lives in proportion to the pattern of economic benefit based on expected future discounted cash flows, as deemed appropriate.

Note 4–Fair Value Measurements

The accounting standard for fair value measurements establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets (Level 1); inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable, either directly or indirectly, or quoted prices that are not active (Level 2); and unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data (e.g., discounted cash flow and other similar pricing models), which requires us to develop our own market participant assumptions used in pricing the asset or liability (Level 3).

As of January 3, 2025, our derivatives primarily consisted of the cash flow interest rate swaps on $ 500 million of the variable rate senior unsecured term loan (see "Note 5–Derivative Instruments"). The carrying value and fair value of our cash flow interest rate swap was $ 4 million. The fair value of the cash flow interest rate swaps is determined based on observed values for underlying interest rates on the one-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") rate as of January 3, 2025 (Level 2 inputs). The $ 500 million interest rate swaps matured in August 2025.

The carrying amounts of our financial instruments, other than derivatives, which include cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, are reasonable estimates of their related fair values. As of October 3, 2025, and January 3, 2025, the carrying value of our notes receivable of $ 16 million approximates fair value as the stated interest rates within the agreements are materially consistent with the current market rates for similar instruments (Level 2 inputs). Our notes receivable are included within “Other current assets” and "Other long-term assets" on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

As of October 3, 2025, and January 3, 2025, the fair value of debt was $ 4.7 billion and $ 4.5 billion, respectively, and the carrying amount was $ 4.7 billion for both periods (see "Note 6–Debt"). The fair value of long-term debt is determined based on current interest rates available for debt with terms and maturities similar to our existing debt arrangements and our credit rating (Level 2 inputs).

The assets and liabilities acquired in connection with the Kudu Dynamics acquisition were measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis using Level 3 inputs (see "Note 3–Acquisitions, Goodwill and Intangible Assets").

Note 5–Derivative Instruments

We manage our risk to changes in interest rates through the use of derivative instruments. We do not hold derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. For variable rate borrowings, we use fixed interest rate swaps, effectively converting a portion of the variable interest rate payments to fixed interest rate payments. These swaps are designated as cash flow hedges.

The fair value of the interest rate swaps was as follows:


(in millions)	Balance sheet line item	October 3, 2025		January 3, 2025
Cash flow interest rate swaps	Other current assets	$	—	$	4

The cash flows associated with the interest rate swaps are classified as operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

CASH FLOW HEDGES

As of January 3, 2025, we had 2.96 % fixed interest rate swap agreements to hedge the cash flows of $ 500 million of the variable rate senior unsecured term loan (the "Variable Rate Loan"). The objective of these instruments was to reduce variability in the forecasted interest payments of the Variable Rate Loan. Under the terms of the interest rate swap agreements, we received monthly variable interest payments based on the one-month SOFR and paid interest at a fixed rate. These interest rate swap agreements matured in August 2025.

The interest rate swap transactions were accounted for as cash flow hedges. The gain/loss on the swaps was reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and was reclassified into earnings when the interest payments on the underlying hedged items impacted earnings. A qualitative assessment of hedge effectiveness was performed on a quarterly basis.

The effect of the cash flow hedges on other comprehensive income (loss) and earnings for the periods presented was as follows:

REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY

We have a $ 1.0 billion senior unsecured revolving facility (the “Revolving Facility”). The Revolving Facility will mature in March 2028 and is subject to an annual commitment fee rate of 0.125 % on the unused credit availability and permits two additional one-year extensions subject to lender consent. Principal payments are made quarterly, with the majority of the principal due at maturity. As of October 3, 2025, and January 3, 2025, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Facility.

SENIOR NOTES

On February 20, 2025, we issued and sold $ 500 million senior notes maturing in March 2032 (the "2032 Notes") and $ 500 million senior notes maturing in March 2035 (the "2035 Notes", and together with the 2032 Notes, the "Notes"). The Notes are senior unsecured obligations issued by Leidos, Inc. and guaranteed by Leidos Holdings, Inc. The annual interest rates for the 2032 Notes and the 2035 Notes are 5.40 % and 5.50 %, respectively, and the interest is payable on a semi-annual basis. In connection with the issuance of the Notes, $ 10 million of debt issuance costs and discount were recognized, which were recorded as an offset against the carrying value of debt. The proceeds from the Notes were used to retire the $ 500 million senior unsecured notes due May 2025 and repurchase $ 500 million outstanding shares of common stock in connection with the Accelerated Share Repurchase ("ASR") agreement (see "Note 8–Earnings Per Share").

COMMERCIAL PAPER

We have a commercial paper program in which the Company may issue short-term unsecured commercial paper notes ("Commercial Paper Notes") not to exceed $ 1.0 billion. The proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes, including working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and share repurchases.

The Commercial Paper Notes are issued in minimum denominations of $ 0.25 million and have maturities of up to 397 days from the date of issuance. The Commercial Paper Notes either bear a stated or floating interest rate, if interest bearing, or will be sold at a discount from the face amount. As of October 3, 2025, and January 3, 2025, we did not have any Commercial Paper Notes outstanding.

COVENANTS

The senior unsecured term loan, senior unsecured notes and Revolving Facility are fully and unconditionally guaranteed and contain certain customary restrictive covenants, including among other things, restrictions on our ability to create liens and enter into sale and leaseback transactions under certain circumstances.

The financial covenants in the Revolving Facility and the senior unsecured term loan require that we maintain, as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, a ratio of adjusted consolidated total debt to consolidated EBITDA of not more than 3.75 to 1.00, subject to increases to 4.50 to 1.00 for four fiscal quarters following a material acquisition, and a ratio of EBITDA to consolidated interest expense of not less than 3.50 to 1.00.

We were in compliance with all financial covenants as of October 3, 2025.

Note 8–Earnings Per Share

The following table provides a reconciliation of the weighted average number of shares outstanding used to compute basic and diluted EPS for the periods presented:


	Three Months Ended		Nine Months Ended
(in millions)	October 3, 2025	September 27, 2024	October 3, 2025	September 27, 2024
Basic weighted average number of shares outstanding	128	134	129	135
Dilutive common share equivalents—stock options and other stock awards	2	2	1	1
Diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding	130	136	130	136

Anti-dilutive stock-based awards are excluded from the weighted average number of shares outstanding used to compute diluted EPS. The total outstanding stock options and vesting stock awards that were anti-dilutive were less than 0.2 million for both the three and nine months ended October 3, 2025, and less than 0.5 million for both the three and nine months ended September 27, 2024.

On February 20, 2025, we entered into an ASR agreement with a financial institution to repurchase shares of our outstanding common stock. During the three months ended April 4, 2025, we paid $ 500 million to the financial institution and received an initial delivery of 3 million shares at an average price of $ 131.50 per share. In May 2025, we received the final delivery of 0.6 million shares related to the ASR agreement. The total number of shares that we received under the ASR agreement was based on the volume-weighted-average-price of $ 138.44 per share, net of a discount, for the period February 20, 2025, to May 20, 2025.

The purchase was recorded to "Additional paid-in capital" in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. All shares delivered were immediately retired.

We made open market repurchases of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $ 100 million during both the three and nine months ended October 3, 2025, and $ 200 million and $ 450 million during the three and nine months ended September 27, 2024, respectively. All repurchased shares were immediately retired.

Note 9–Income Taxes

On July 4, 2025, tax legislation was enacted in H.R.1 Reconciliation Act, commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”) implementing several corporate tax law changes, including but not limited to, (1) restoring the ability to immediately expense U.S. research and development costs; (2) allowing certain taxpayers an election to deduct the unamortized balance of U.S. research and development costs capitalized in prior years; and (3) reinstating one hundred percent bonus depreciation for eligible property. Based upon our interpretation of the law as currently enacted, we estimate that income taxes payable and net deferred taxes will be $ 270 million and $ 235 million, respectively, lower at January 2, 2026, than our estimates prior to the OBBBA enactment.

For the three months ended October 3, 2025, the effective tax rate was 23.8 % compared to 23.0 % for the three months ended September 27, 2024. The increase to the effective tax rate was primarily due to impacts from the OBBBA, partially offset by a decrease in valuation allowance compared to the prior year quarter.

For the nine months ended October 3, 2025, the effective tax rate was 23.9 % compared to 23.3 % for the nine months ended September 27, 2024. The increase to the effective tax rate was primarily due to impacts from the OBBBA.

Note 10–Business Segments

Our operations and reportable segments are organized around the customers and markets we serve. We define our reportable segments based on the way the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), currently our Chief Executive Officer, manages operations for the purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance. The CODM considers segment revenue and operating income to assist with the evaluation of strategic business decisions, including potential acquisitions or divestitures, whether to invest in certain products or services, share repurchases and the declaration of dividends.

The following table summarizes business segment information for the periods presented:

The statement of operations performance measures used to evaluate segment performance are revenues and operating income. As a result, "Interest expense, net," "Other (expense) income, net" and "Income tax expense" as reported in the condensed consolidated statements of operations are not allocated to our segments.

Other segment expenses include direct program costs such as material and subcontractor expenses, as well as allocable indirect costs such as depreciation and Corporate compensation expenses, but excludes direct labor which is separately presented above. The Health & Civil and Defense Systems segments also include equity earnings of non-consolidated subsidiaries within operating income.

Under U.S. Government Cost Accounting Standards, indirect costs including depreciation expense are collected in indirect cost pools, which are then collectively allocated to the reportable segments based on a representative causal or beneficial relationship of the costs in the pool to the costs in the base. As such, depreciation expense is not separately disclosed on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Asset information by segment is not a key measure of performance used by the CODM.

Note 11–Commitments and Contingencies

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are involved in various claims and lawsuits arising in the normal conduct of our business, none of which, in the opinion of management, based upon current information, will likely have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

CONTINGENCIES

Government Investigations and Reviews

We are routinely subject to investigations and reviews relating to compliance with various laws and regulations with respect to our role as a contractor to federal, state and local government customers and in connection with performing services in countries outside of the United States. Adverse findings could have a material effect on our business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows due to our reliance on government contracts.

Defense Contract Audit Agency

As of October 3, 2025, active indirect cost audits by the Defense Contract Audit Agency remain open for fiscal 2023 and subsequent fiscal years. Although we have recorded contract revenues based upon an estimate of costs that we believe will be approved upon final audit or review, we cannot predict the outcome of any ongoing or future audits or reviews and adjustments, and if future adjustments exceed estimates, our profitability may be adversely affected. As of October 3, 2025, we believe we have adequately reserved for potential adjustments from audits or reviews of contract costs.

Other Government Investigations and Reviews

As previously disclosed, the Company voluntarily self-reported to the Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") an investigation related to activities by its employees, third party representatives and subcontractors, raising concerns related to a portion of our business that conducts international operations, and has cooperated with both agencies. In December 2024, the Company received notification from the U.S. Department of Justice that it had closed its inquiry. While the Company has engaged with the SEC, the Company cannot anticipate the timing, outcome or possible impact of an SEC investigation, although violations of applicable laws may result in civil sanctions, including monetary penalties, and reputational damage.

In August 2022, the Company received a Federal Grand Jury Subpoena in connection with a criminal investigation being conducted by the U.S. Department of Justice Antitrust Division. The subpoena requests that the Company produce a broad range of documents related to three U.S. Government procurements associated with the Company’s Intelligence Group in 2021 and 2022. We are fully cooperating with the investigation, and we are conducting our own internal investigation with the assistance of outside counsel. It is not possible at this time to determine whether we will incur, or to reasonably estimate the amount of, any fines, penalties, or further liabilities in connection with the investigation pursuant to which the subpoena was issued.

COMMITMENTS

As of October 3, 2025, we have outstanding letters of credit of $ 114 million, principally related to performance guarantees on contracts and outstanding surety bonds with a notional amount of $ 151 million, principally related to performance and subcontractor payment bonds on contracts. The value of the surety bonds may vary due to changes in the underlying project status and/or contractual modifications.

"Risk Factors" and as may be further updated in subsequent filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Due to such uncertainties and risks, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof.

OVERVIEW

Leidos is an industry and technology leader serving government and commercial customers with smarter, more efficient digital and mission innovations. Headquartered in Reston, Virginia, with 47,000 global employees, we bring domain-specific capabilities, technologies and insights to customers in each of these markets by leveraging seven technical core capabilities: trusted mission artificial intelligence, cyber operations, digital modernization, mission software systems, integrated systems, mission operations, and rapid prototyping and manufacturing. Our customers include the U.S. Department of Defense ("DoD"), the U.S. Intelligence Community, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Aviation Administration, the Department of Veterans Affairs, National Aeronautics and Space Administration and many other U.S. civilian, state and local government agencies, foreign government agencies and commercial businesses.

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT AND TRENDS

U.S. GOVERNMENT MARKETS

During both the three and nine months ended October 3, 2025, and September 27, 2024, we generated approximately 87%, of total revenues from contracts with the U.S. government. Accordingly, our business performance is affected by the overall level of U.S. government spending, especially national security, homeland security and intelligence spending, and the alignment of our service and product offerings and capabilities with current and future budget priorities of the U.S. government.

On October 1, 2025, the federal government shutdown following the expiration of a continuing resolution. Congress is currently working to reopen the federal government and is engaged in ongoing negotiations. As a result of the government shutdown, we may experience reduced or delayed work on existing contracts and there may be delays in other government contracting actions and payments. Once the government reopens, Congress will resume consideration of the Fiscal Year 2026 appropriations bills, with the goal of completing them by the end of the current calendar year.

PART I—FINANCIAL INFORMATION

INTERNATIONAL MARKETS

Sales to customers in international markets represented approximately 8% of total revenues for both the three and nine months ended October 3, 2025, and September 27, 2024. Our international customers include foreign governments and their agencies. Our international business increases our exposure to international markets and the associated international regulatory, foreign currency exchange rate and geopolitical risks.

Changes in international trade policies, including higher tariffs on imported goods and materials, may increase the cost of certain goods necessary to fulfill our contractual requirements and for internal purposes. We expect to recover certain portions of the increase to the cost of goods through contractual measures. While we continue to evaluate the tariff environment and potential impacts of higher tariffs, we currently do not expect them to have a significant effect on our business.

While revenues increased for the three months ended October 3, 2025, as compared to the three months ended September 27, 2024, operating income remained consistent. This was primarily attributable to higher material costs for production programs in their initial phases.

The increase in operating income for the nine months ended October 3, 2025, as compared to the nine months ended September 27, 2024, was primarily attributable to program wins and a decrease in amortization expense in the current year.

The increase in operating loss for the three months ended October 3, 2025, as compared to the three months ended September 27, 2024, was primarily attributable to a $24 million increase in legal reserves and general and administrative expenses.

The decrease in operating loss for the nine months ended October 3, 2025, as compared to the nine months ended September 27, 2024, was primarily attributable to decreased legal fees, a $25 million insurance reimbursement for legal costs primarily incurred prior to fiscal year 2025 and lower acquisition and integration costs.

NON-OPERATING EXPENSE, NET

Non-operating expense, net for the three months ended October 3, 2025, was $51 million as compared to $46 million for the three months ended September 27, 2024. The increase was primarily driven by increased interest expense as a result of the two $500 million senior notes issued in February 2025.

Non-operating expense, net for the nine months ended October 3, 2025, was $156 million as compared to $142 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2024. The increase was primarily driven by increased interest expense as a result of the two $500 million senior notes issued in February 2025 and unfavorable exchange rate movements.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

On July 4, 2025, tax legislation was enacted in H.R.1 Reconciliation Act, commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”) implementing several corporate tax law changes, including but not limited to, (1) restoring the immediate expensing of U.S. research and development costs; (2) allowing certain taxpayers an election to deduct the unamortized balance of U.S. research and development costs capitalized in prior years; and (3) reinstating one hundred percent bonus depreciation for eligible property. Based upon our interpretation of the law as currently enacted, we estimate that income taxes payable and net deferred taxes will be $270 million and $235 million, respectively, lower at January 2, 2026, than our estimates prior to the OBBBA enactment.

For the three months ended October 3, 2025, our effective tax rate was 23.8% compared to 23.0% for the three months ended September 27, 2024. The increase to the effective tax rate was primarily due to impacts from the OBBBA, partially offset by a decrease in valuation allowance compared to the prior year quarter.

For the nine months ended October 3, 2025, our effective tax rate was 23.9% compared to 23.3% for the nine months ended September 27, 2024. The increase to the effective tax rate was primarily due to impacts from the OBBBA.

BOOKINGS AND BACKLOG

Effective for the first quarter of fiscal 2025, we changed our backlog policy to include estimated future revenue on task orders expected to be awarded under sole source indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity ("IDIQ") contracts in our reported backlog. We believe this presentation provides enhanced visibility for investors and more accurately reflects the future revenues we expect to generate from our business.

We recorded net bookings worth an estimated $5.9 billion and $11.9 billion during the three and nine months ended October 3, 2025, respectively, as compared to $8.0 billion and $15.8 billion for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2024, respectively.

PART I—FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The estimated value of our total backlog was as follows:


	October 3, 2025						September 27, 2024 (1)
(in millions)	Funded		Unfunded		Total		Funded		Unfunded		Total
National Security & Digital	$	3,203	$	23,246	$	26,449	$	3,323	$	20,908	$	24,231
Health & Civil	1,866		9,043		10,909		1,536		10,002		11,538

Defense Systems	1,446		3,905		5,351		1,602		3,489		5,091
Total	$	9,064	$	38,592	$	47,656	$	9,092	$	36,421	$	45,513

(1) Amounts have been recast to include estimated future revenue on task orders expected to be awarded under sole source IDIQ contracts. As a result, unfunded backlog increased $4,952 million.

Backlog at October 3, 2025, includes $149 million acquired through the acquisition of Kudu Dynamics within our National Security & Digital reportable segment.

Backlog represents the revenues we expect to recognize under negotiated contracts and unissued task orders on sole source IDIQ contracts, to the extent we believe their execution and funding to be probable. Backlog does not include potential task orders expected to be awarded under multiple award IDIQ contracts.

Backlog estimates are subject to change and may be affected by factors including modifications of contracts and foreign currency movements.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

OVERVIEW OF LIQUIDITY

As of October 3, 2025, we had $974 million in cash and cash equivalents. We have a senior unsecured revolving credit facility which can provide up to $1 billion in additional borrowing, if required. As of October 3, 2025, and January 3, 2025, there were no borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility.

We had outstanding debt of $4.7 billion at both October 3, 2025, and January 3, 2025. In February 2025, we issued and sold $500 million 5.40% and $500 million 5.50% senior unsecured notes maturing in March 2032 and March 2035, respectively. The annual interest rate is payable on a semi-annual basis. The proceeds from the issuance of the notes were used to retire the $500 million senior unsecured notes due May 2025 and repurchase $500 million outstanding shares of common stock in an accelerated share repurchase agreement (“ASR”) as discussed below.

We have a commercial paper program in which we may issue short-term unsecured commercial paper notes ("Commercial Paper Notes") and have maturities of up to 397 days from the date of issuance. As of October 3, 2025, and January 3, 2025, we did not have any Commercial Paper Notes outstanding.

We made principal payments on our debt of $455 million and $1,014 million during the three and nine months ended October 3, 2025, respectively, and $5 million and $14 million for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2024, respectively. The activity for the three months ended October 3, 2025, included a prepayment on our senior unsecured term loan of $450 million and the activity for the nine months ended October 3, 2025, also included a $500 million payment to discharge the $500 million notes due May 2025.

Our senior unsecured term loan, senior unsecured notes and senior unsecured revolving facility contain financial covenants and customary restrictive covenants. We were in compliance with all financial covenants as of October 3, 2025.

We paid dividends of $51 million and $156 million during the three and nine months ended October 3, 2025, respectively, and $51 million and $155 million during the three and nine months ended September 27, 2024, respectively.

Stock repurchases of Leidos common stock may be made on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions with third parties including through ASR agreements. Whether repurchases are made and the timing and actual number of shares repurchased depends on a variety of factors including price, corporate capital requirements, other market conditions and regulatory requirements. Repurchases may be accelerated, suspended, delayed or discontinued at any time.

PART I—FINANCIAL INFORMATION

On February 20, 2025, we entered into an ASR agreement with a financial institution to repurchase shares of our outstanding common stock. We paid $500 million to the financial institution and received an initial delivery of 3 million shares at an average price of $131.50 per share. In May 2025, we received the final delivery of 0.6 million shares related to the ASR agreement. The total number of shares that we received under the ASR agreement was based on the volume-weighted-average-price of $138.44 per share, net of a discount, for the period February 20, 2025, to May 20, 2025.

The purchase was recorded to "Additional paid-in capital" in the condensed consolidated balance sheets (see "Note 8–Earnings Per Share"). All shares delivered were immediately retired.

We made open market repurchases of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $100 million during both the three and nine months ended October 3, 2025, and $200 million and $450 million during the three and nine months ended September 27, 2024, respectively.

On July 4, 2025, tax legislation was enacted as part of the OBBBA, implementing several corporate tax law changes as described above within Results of Operations. We anticipate our federal and state tax payments will decrease by approximately $150 million in fiscal 2025, as compared to our estimates prior to the OBBBA enactment, primarily due to the decrease in our estimated 2025 taxable income related to these changes. The actual decrease may be impacted by future guidance or interpretive rules issued by the U.S. Treasury, among other factors. We will continue to assess the effects on our liquidity as tax legislation evolves.

For the next 12 months, we anticipate that we will be able to meet our liquidity needs, including servicing our debt, through cash generated from operations, available cash balances, borrowings from our commercial paper program and, if needed, sales of accounts receivable and borrowings from our revolving credit facility.

SUMMARY OF CASH FLOWS

The following table summarizes cash flow information for the periods presented:


	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
(in millions)	October 3, 2025		September 27, 2024		October 3, 2025		September 27, 2024
Net cash provided by operating activities (1)	$	711	$	647	$	1,255	$	1,141
Net cash used in investing activities	(36)		(23)		(372)		(56)
Net cash used in financing activities	(595)		(257)		(788)		(644)

(1) Net cash provided by operating activities for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2024, was recast to reflect a change in the accounting policy, see "Note 1–Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies."

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $64 million during the three months ended October 3, 2025, when compared to the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily due to an increase in tax benefits from the impacts of the OBBBA legislation and favorable changes in working capital, partially offset by the timing of payroll and employee benefit payments.

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $114 million during the nine months ended October 3, 2025, when compared to the prior year. The increase was primarily due to an increase in tax benefits from the impacts of the OBBBA legislation, partially offset by the timing of payroll and employee benefit payments.

Net cash used in investing activities increased $13 million for the three months ended October 3, 2025, when compared to the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily due to higher capital expenditures and a $7 million payment related to the acquisition of Kudu Dynamics.

Net cash used in investing activities increased $316 million for the nine months ended October 3, 2025, when compared to the prior year. The increase was primarily due to $292 million of net cash paid related to the acquisition of Kudu Dynamics and higher capital expenditures.

Net cash used in financing activities increased $338 million for the three months ended October 3, 2025, when compared to the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily due to a $450 million prepayment on our senior unsecured term loan, partially offset by a $100 million decrease in stock repurchases in the current year quarter.

Net cash used in financing activities increased $144 million for the nine months ended October 3, 2025, when compared to the prior year primarily due to a $150 million increase in stock repurchases, a $10 million increase in payments for debt activities, partially offset by a $11 million decrease in shares withheld for tax obligations.
