Adjusted diluted EPS came in at $1.49, falling short of the $1.51 consensus estimate by 1.42%, while revenue of $2.89 billion trailed expectations by 2.74% and declined 8.2% year-over-year, reflecting what CEO Horacio Rozanski called a "bifurcated market," where the company's national security portfolio grew on an adjusted basis even as civil procurement remained deeply challenged. The company responded by cutting headcount to roughly 32,500 from 35,800 a year ago and absorbing $14 million in restructuring-related severance costs in the first half, with a second round of layoffs announced as part of an effort to strip out $150 million in annual expenses. Looking ahead, management sharply reduced full-year fiscal 2026 guidance, now projecting revenue of $11.30 billion to $11.50 billion and adjusted diluted EPS of $5.45 to $5.65, well below prior targets, though a record backlog of $40.19 billion and a 1.7x book-to-bill ratio offered some reassurance about longer-term demand.
Key Takeaways
- • Revenue decline driven by decreased headcount from slowed procurement environment and continued U.S. government funding uncertainty
- • National Security portfolio (Defense & Intel) grew 4.8% YoY excluding prior year provision for claimed costs
- • Civil business stabilized but ongoing procurement challenges delay return to growth
- • Prior year results benefited from $113 million provision for claimed costs reduction and $115 million in insurance recoveries
- • Lower headcount of approximately 32,500 vs 35,800 in prior year period
- • Record Q2 backlog of $40 billion with 1.7x quarterly book-to-bill ratio
