NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Amounts in tables in thousands, except share and per share data or unless otherwise noted)

1. Business Overview

Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corporation, including its wholly owned subsidiaries, or the Company, we, us, and our, was incorporated in Delaware in May 2008. The Company provides management and technology consulting, analytics, engineering, digital solutions, mission operations, and cyber services to U.S. and international governments, major corporations, and not-for-profit organizations. The Company reports operating results and financial data in one reportable segment. The Company is headquartered in McLean, Virginia, with approximately 33,100 employees as of September 30, 2023.

2. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with the information contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2023. The interim period unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented as described below. Certain information and disclosures normally required for annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to GAAP and SEC rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented have been included. The Company’s fiscal year ends on March 31 and, unless otherwise noted, references to fiscal year or fiscal are for fiscal years ended March 31. The results of operations for the six months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes of the Company include its subsidiaries, and other entities over which the Company has a controlling financial interest or where the Company is a primary beneficiary.

Certain amounts reported in the Company's prior fiscal year condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current fiscal year presentation.

Investments in Variable Interest Entities and Other Investments

The Company invests in certain companies that advance or develop new technologies applicable to its business. Each investment is evaluated for consolidation under the variable interest entities model and/or the voting interest model. The results of these investments are not material to the unaudited condensed and consolidated financial statements for the periods presented. The Company uses the equity method to account for investments in entities that it does not control if it is otherwise able to exert significant influence over the entities' operating and financial policies. Equity investments in entities over which the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence and whose securities do not have a readily determinable fair value are accounted for under the measurement alternative. As of September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively, the total of equity and other investments related to unconsolidated entities included in other long term assets of the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet were $32.9 million and $23.1 million.

Accounting Estimates

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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Areas of the financial statements where estimates may have the most significant effect include the provision for claimed indirect costs, valuation and expected lives of tangible and intangible assets, impairment of long-lived assets, accrued liabilities, revenue recognition, including the accrual of indirect costs, bonus and other incentive compensation, stock-based compensation, reserves for uncertain tax positions and valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, provisions for income taxes, postretirement obligations, collectability of receivables, and loss accruals for litigation. Actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially from management's estimates.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“Topic 848”). The guidance is intended to provide relief for entities impacted by reference rate reform. Topic 848 contains provisions and optional accounting expedients designed to simplify requirements around the designation of hedging relationships, probability assessments of hedged forecasted transactions, and accounting for modifications of contracts that refer to the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or other rates affected by reference rate reform. The guidance is elective and is effective on the date of issuance. Topic 848 is applied prospectively to contract modifications and as of the effective date for existing and new eligible hedging relationships. During the first quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company modified its interest rate swap agreements to transition from LIBOR-indexed to term SOFR-indexed periodic swap payments to align with interest payments in connection with its term SOFR-indexed debt. As such, the Company elected the optional expedients under Topic 848 which allows the cash flow hedge to continue being recognized under hedge accounting without de-designation upon a change in critical terms affected by the reference rate reform. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

Accounting and reporting pronouncements effective after September 30, 2023 and issued through the filing date are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company's revenues from contracts with customers (clients) are derived from offerings that include management and technology consulting services, analytics, digital solutions, engineering, mission operations, and cyber services, substantially all with the U.S. government and its agencies and, to a lesser extent, subcontractors. The Company also serves foreign governments, as well as domestic and international commercial clients. The Company performs and generates revenue under three basic types of contracts, which include cost-reimbursable contracts, time-and-materials contracts, and fixed-price contracts.

Contract Estimates

We recognize revenue for many of our contracts under a contract cost-based input method and require an Estimate-at-Completion (“EAC”) process, which management uses to review and monitor the progress towards the completion of our performance obligations. Under this process, management considers various inputs and assumptions related to the EAC, including, but not limited to, progress towards completion, labor costs and productivity, material and subcontractor costs, and identified risks. Estimating the total cost at the completion of our performance obligations is subjective and requires management to make assumptions about future activity and cost drivers under the contract. Changes in these estimates can occur for a variety of reasons and, if significant, may impact the profitability of the Company’s contracts. Changes in estimates related to contracts accounted for under the EAC process are recognized on a cumulative catch-up basis in the period when such changes are determinable and reasonably estimable. If the estimate of contract profitability indicates an anticipated loss on a contract, the Company recognizes the total loss at the time it is identified. For each of the three and six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the aggregate impact of adjustments in contract estimates was not material.

Disaggregation of Revenue

We disaggregate our revenue from contracts with customers by contract type and by customer type, as well as by whether the Company acts as prime contractor or sub-contractor, as we believe these categories best depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. The following series of tables presents our revenue disaggregated by these categories.

Revenue by Contract Type:

We generate revenue under the following three basic types of contracts:

•Cost-Reimbursable Contracts: Cost-reimbursable contracts provide for the payment of allowable costs incurred during performance of the contract, up to a ceiling based on the amount that has been funded, plus a fixed fee or award fee.

•Time-and-Materials Contracts: Under contracts in this category, we are paid a fixed hourly rate for each direct labor hour expended, and we are reimbursed for billable material costs and billable out-of-pocket expenses inclusive of allocable indirect costs. We assume the financial risk on time-and-materials contracts because our costs of performance may exceed negotiated hourly rates.

(Amounts in tables in thousands, except share and per share data or unless otherwise noted)

•Fixed-Price Contracts: Under a fixed-price contract, we agree to perform the specified work for a predetermined price. To the extent our actual direct and allocated indirect costs decrease or increase from the estimates upon which the price was negotiated, we will generate more or less profit, respectively, or could incur a loss.

The table below presents the total revenue for each type of contract:

	Three Months Ended September 30,								Six Months Ended September 30,
	2023				2022				2023				2022
Cost-reimbursable	$	1,463,949	55	%	$	1,201,407	52	%	$	2,914,133	55	%	$	2,392,235	53	%

(1) Certain contracts were reassigned between the various verticals of our U.S. government business shown in the table above to better align our operations to the customers we serve within each market. Prior year revenue by customer type has been recast to reflect the changes.

Revenue by Whether the Company Acts as a Prime Contractor or a Subcontractor:

	Three Months Ended September 30,								Six Months Ended September 30,
	2023				2022				2023				2022
Prime Contractor	$	2,537,085	95	%	$	2,179,375	95	%	$	5,054,643	95	%	$	4,310,670	95	%

Performance Obligations

Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price of exercised contracts for which work has not yet been performed, irrespective of whether funding has or has not been authorized and appropriated as of the date of exercise. Remaining performance obligations exclude negotiated but unexercised options, the unfunded value of expired contracts, and certain variable consideration which the Company does not expect to recognize as revenue.

As of September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, the Company had $9.8 billion and $7.9 billion of remaining performance obligations, respectively. We expect to recognize approximately 75% of the remaining performance obligations at September 30, 2023 as revenue over the next 12 months, and approximately 85% over the next 24 months. The remainder is expected to be recognized thereafter.

Contract Balances

The Company's performance obligations are typically satisfied over time and revenue is generally recognized using a cost-based input method. Fixed-price contracts are typically billed to the customer using milestone or fixed monthly payments, while cost-reimbursable-plus-fee and time-and-material contracts are typically billed to the customer at periodic intervals (e.g., monthly or weekly) as indicated by the terms of the contract. Disparities between the timing of revenue recognition and customer billings and cash collections result in net contract assets or liabilities being recognized at the end of each reporting period.

(Amounts in tables in thousands, except share and per share data or unless otherwise noted)

Contract assets primarily consist of unbilled receivables typically resulting from revenue recognized exceeding the amount billed to the customer and right to payment is not just subject to the passage of time. Unbilled amounts represent revenues for which billings have not been presented to customers. These amounts are generally billed and collected within one year subject to various conditions including, without limitation, appropriated and available funding. Long-term unbilled receivables not anticipated to be billed and collected within one year, which are primarily related to retainage, holdbacks, and long-term rate settlements to be billed at contract closeout, are included in other long-term assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Contract liabilities primarily consist of advance payments, billings in excess of costs incurred and deferred revenue. Contract assets and liabilities are reported on a net contract basis at the end of each reporting period. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses to provide for an estimate of uncollectible receivables. Provision for credit losses recognized was not material for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

The following table summarizes the contract assets and liabilities, and accounts receivable, net of allowance recognized on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets:

	September 30, 2023		March 31, 2023
Current assets
Accounts receivable–billed	$	678,241	$	551,666
Accounts receivable–unbilled (contract assets)	1,331,785		1,223,482
Allowance for credit losses	(179)		(318)
Accounts receivable, net	2,009,847		1,774,830
Other long-term assets
Accounts receivable–unbilled (contract assets)	59,653		59,455
Total accounts receivable, net	$	2,069,500	$	1,834,285
Other current liabilities
Advance payments, billings in excess of costs incurred and deferred revenue (contract liabilities)	$	14,918	$	18,995

Changes in contract assets and contract liabilities are primarily due to the timing difference between the Company’s performance of services and payments from customers. For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, we recognized revenue of $1.7 million and $3.7 million, respectively, and for the six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, we recognized revenue of $16.2 million and $20.0 million, respectively, related to our contract liabilities on April 1, 2023 and 2022, respectively. To determine revenue recognized from contract liabilities during the reporting periods, the Company allocates revenue to individual contract liability balances and applies revenue recognized during the reporting periods first to the beginning balances of contract liabilities until the revenue exceeds the balances.

4. Earnings Per Share

The Company computes basic and diluted earnings per share amounts based on net income attributable to common stockholders for the periods presented. The Company uses the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period to calculate basic earnings per share, or EPS. Diluted EPS adjusts the weighted average number of shares outstanding to include the dilutive effect of outstanding common stock options and other stock-based awards.

The Company currently has outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock. Holders of unvested Class A Restricted Common Stock are entitled to participate in non-forfeitable dividends or other distributions (“participating securities”). These unvested restricted shares participated in the Company's dividends declared and paid in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 and 2023. As such, EPS is calculated using the two-class method whereby earnings are reduced by distributed earnings as well as any available undistributed earnings allocable to holders of these unvested restricted shares. A reconciliation of the income used to compute basic and diluted EPS for the periods presented are as follows:

(1)    The difference between earnings for basic and diluted computations and net income presented on the condensed consolidated statements of operations is due to undistributed earnings and dividends allocated to the participating securities. There were approximately 1.1 million of participating securities for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 1.1 million and 1.0 million shares of participating securities for the six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

(2)    The impact of anti-dilutive options excluded from the calculation of EPS was not material during the periods presented.

5. Acquisition, Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Acquisition

On October 14, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of EverWatch Corp. (“EverWatch”), a leading provider of advanced solutions to the defense and intelligence communities for approximately $445.1 million, net of post-closing adjustments and incurred transaction costs as part of the acquisition. The acquisition was funded with cash on hand. As a result of the transaction, EverWatch became a wholly owned subsidiary of Booz Allen Hamilton Inc.

The Company recognized $108.6 million of intangible assets which consists primarily of contract assets and were valued using the excess earnings method discounted cash flow approach, incorporating Level 3 inputs as described under the fair value hierarchy of Topic 820. These unobservable inputs reflect the Company's own judgment about which assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset on a non-recurring basis. The intangible assets are being amortized over the estimated useful life of 14 years. The goodwill of $330.9 million is primarily attributable to EverWatch's specialized workforce and the expected synergies between the Company and EverWatch, and is non-deductible for tax purposes.

The following table summarizes the consideration and the allocation of the purchase price paid for EverWatch:

Cash consideration (gross of cash acquired)	$	445,074
Purchase price allocation:
Cash	4,779
Current assets	27,725
Operating lease right-of-use asset	7,894
Other long-term assets	5,078
Intangible assets	108,600
Deferred tax liabilities	(20,394)
Current liabilities	(11,612)
Operating lease liabilities - short-term	(1,362)
Operating lease liabilities - long-term	(6,532)
Total fair value of identifiable net assets acquired	$	114,176
Goodwill	$	330,898

BOOZ ALLEN HAMILTON HOLDING CORPORATION

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Amounts in tables in thousands, except share and per share data or unless otherwise noted)

The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting, which requires the total acquisition consideration to be allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on an estimate of the acquisition date fair value, with the difference reflected in goodwill. During the first quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company completed the determination of fair values of the acquired assets and liabilities assumed. Pro forma results of operations for this acquisition are not presented because the acquisition is not material to the Company's consolidated results of operations.

Goodwill

As of September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, goodwill was $2,343.8 million and $2,338.4 million, respectively. The $5.4 million increase in the carrying amount of goodwill was attributable the Company's finalization of the accounting for the acquisition of EverWatch.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consisted of the following:

	September 30, 2023						March 31, 2023
	Gross Carrying Value		Accumulated Amortization		Net Carrying Value		Gross Carrying Value		Accumulated Amortization		Net Carrying Value

Total	$	923,395	$	285,608	$	637,787	$	924,146	$	238,531	$	685,615

The decrease in the gross carrying value of intangible assets was primarily attributable to a $7.9 million adjustment related to the Company's finalization of the accounting for the acquisition of EverWatch in the first quarter of fiscal 2024.

6. Accounts Payable and Other Accrued Expenses

Accounts payable and other accrued expenses consisted of the following:

Credit Agreement

Booz Allen Hamilton Inc. (“Booz Allen Hamilton”), Booz Allen Hamilton Investor Corporation (“Investor”), and certain wholly owned subsidiaries of Booz Allen Hamilton are parties to a Credit Agreement dated as of July 31, 2012, as amended (the “Credit Agreement”), with certain institutional lenders and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and Issuing Lender. As of September 30, 2023, the Credit Agreement provided Booz Allen Hamilton with a $1,608.8 million Term Loan A (“Term Loan A”) and a $1.0 billion revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), with a sub-limit for letters of credit of $200.0 million. As of September 30, 2023, the maturity date of the Term Loan A and the Revolving Commitments is September 7, 2027. Voluntary prepayments of the Term Loan A and the Revolving Loans are permitted at any time, in minimum principal amounts, without premium or penalty. Booz Allen Hamilton’s obligations and the guarantors’ guarantees under the Credit Agreement were secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the assets (including capital stock of subsidiaries) of Booz Allen Hamilton, Investor and the subsidiary guarantors, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Credit Agreement and related documentation; such security was released in connection with Booz Allen Hamilton obtaining investment grade ratings from both Moody's and S&P. On September 7, 2022 (the “Ninth Amendment Effective Date”), the previously outstanding Term Loan B loans under the Credit Agreement were prepaid in full.

On July 27, 2023 (the “Tenth Amendment Effective Date”), Booz Allen Hamilton entered into a Tenth Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement (as amended prior to the Tenth Amendment Effective Date, the “Existing Credit Agreement” and, as amended by the Amendment, the “Amended Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), and the lenders and other financial institutions party thereto, in order to make permanent certain changes to the Existing Credit Agreement in connection with Booz Allen Hamilton obtaining investment grade ratings from both Moody's and S&P and prepaying the Term Loan B loans in full and to make certain additional changes in connection therewith, including, among other things, (i) removing the requirements for the obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement to be secured, (ii) removing the requirement for any subsidiary or other affiliate of Booz Allen Hamilton (other than the Company) to provide any guarantee of the obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement, and (iii) removing or modifying certain covenants applicable to Booz Allen Hamilton. Pursuant to the Amendment, all guarantees in respect of the Existing Credit Agreement have been released. The Amendment did not impact any of the terms of the Credit Agreement related to amortization or payments.

On the Tenth Amendment Effective Date in connection with the Amendment, the Company entered into a Guarantee Agreement (the “Guarantee Agreement”) in favor of the Administrative Agent, pursuant to which the Company guarantees on an unsecured basis the obligations of Booz Allen Hamilton under the Amended Credit Agreement subject to certain conditions. Pursuant to the Amended Credit Agreement Booz Allen Hamilton has the option, though not any obligation, to join one or more of its domestic subsidiaries as a guarantor under the Guarantee Agreement.

The Term Loan A amortizes in consecutive quarterly installments in an amount equal to (i) on the last business day of each full fiscal quarter that begins after the Ninth Amendment Effective Date but on or before the two year anniversary of the Ninth Amendment Effective Date, 0.625% of the stated principal amount of the Term Loan A and (ii) on the last business day of each full fiscal quarter that begins after the two year anniversary of the Ninth Amendment Effective Date but before the five year anniversary of the Ninth Amendment Effective Date, 1.25% of the stated principal amount of the Term Loan A. The remaining balance of the Term Loan A will be payable upon maturity.

BOOZ ALLEN HAMILTON HOLDING CORPORATION

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Amounts in tables in thousands, except share and per share data or unless otherwise noted)

The rate at which the Term Loan A and the Revolving Loans bear interest is based, at Booz Allen Hamilton’s option, either on Term SOFR (subject to a 0.10% adjustment and a floor of zero) for the applicable interest period or a base rate (equal to the highest of (i) the administrative agent’s prime corporate rate, (ii) the overnight federal funds rate plus 0.50% and (iii) three-month Term SOFR (subject to a 0.10% adjustment and a floor of zero) plus 1.00%), in each case plus an applicable margin, payable at the end of the applicable interest period and in any event at least quarterly. The applicable margin for the Term Loan A and the Revolving Loans ranges from 1.00% to 2.00% for Term SOFR loans and zero to 1.00% for base rate loans, in each case based on the lower of (i) the applicable rate per annum determined pursuant to a consolidated total net leverage ratio grid and (ii) the applicable rate per annum determined pursuant to a ratings grid. Unused Revolving Commitments are subject to a quarterly fee ranging from 0.10% to 0.35% based on the lower of (i) the applicable fee rate per annum determined pursuant to a consolidated total net leverage ratio grid and (ii) the applicable fee rate per annum determined pursuant to a ratings grid. Booz Allen Hamilton has also agreed to pay customary letter of credit and agency fees.

The Company occasionally borrows under the Revolving Credit Facility for our working capital needs. During the first and second quarters of fiscal 2024, we borrowed $500.0 million on our Revolving Credit Facility for our working capital needs, which was subsequently repaid in the second quarter of fiscal 2024. As of March 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023, respectively, there was no outstanding balance on the Revolving Credit Facility.

The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and customary affirmative and negative covenants. In addition, Booz Allen Hamilton is required to meet a financial covenant at each quarter end based on a consolidated net total leverage ratio. As of September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, Booz Allen Hamilton was in compliance with all financial covenants associated with its debt and debt-like instruments. In connection with Booz Allen Hamilton obtaining investment grade ratings from both Moody's and S&P, activities restricted by certain negative covenants are permitted subject to pro forma compliance with the financial covenants and no events of default having occurred and continuing.

The following table summarizes interest payments made on the Company’s term loans:

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Six Months Ended September 30,
	2023		2022		2023		2022
Term Loan A	$	27,007	$	7,846	$	53,098	$	14,165
Term Loan B	$	—	$	2,793	$	—	$	5,209
Total	$	27,007	$	10,639	$	53,098	$	19,374

Borrowings under the Term Loan A, and if used, the Revolving Credit Facility, incur interest at a variable rate. As of September 30, 2023, Booz Allen Hamilton had interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $550.0 million. These instruments hedge the variability of cash outflows for interest payments on the Term Loans and Revolving Credit Facility. The Company's objectives in using cash flow hedges are to reduce volatility due to interest rate movements and to add stability to interest expense (See Note 9, “Derivatives,” to our condensed consolidated financial statements).

Senior Notes

For information on the terms, conditions, and restrictions of Booz Allen Hamilton's 4.000% Senior Notes due July 1, 2029 (the “Senior Notes due 2029”) and 3.875% Senior Notes due September 1, 2028 (the “Senior Notes due 2028”), see Note 10, “Debt,” of the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the fiscal 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In connection with Booz Allen Hamilton obtaining investment grade ratings from both Moody's and S&P, certain negative covenants in the indentures governing the Senior Notes were suspended, and guarantees of the Senior Notes were released.

On August 4, 2023, Booz Allen Hamilton completed an offering of $650.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.950% senior unsecured notes due August 4, 2033 (the “Senior Notes due 2033”, and, together with the Senior Notes due 2028 and Senior Notes due 2029, the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes due 2033 were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of August 4, 2023 (the “Base Indenture”), among Booz Allen Hamilton, Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corporation, and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee, as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of August 4, 2023 (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”). The Indenture contains certain covenants, events of default, and other customary provisions. The Senior Notes due 2033 are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured and unsubordinated basis by Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corporation, pursuant to the Indenture.

(1) DIC and OID on the Term Loans and senior notes are recorded as a reduction of long-term debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheet and are amortized ratably over the life of the related debt using the effective rate method. DIC on the Revolving Credit Facility is recorded as a long-term asset on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and amortized ratably over the term of the Revolving Credit Facility.

9. Derivatives

The Company utilizes derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate risk related to its variable rate debt. The Company’s objectives in using these interest rate derivatives, which were designated as cash flow hedges, are to manage its exposure to interest rate movements and reduce volatility of interest expense.

The following table summarizes the material terms of the Company’s outstanding interest rate swap derivative contracts as of September 30, 2023:

Effective Date		Maturity Date	Terms	Notional Amount
April 28, 2023	(1)	June 30, 2024	Variable to Fixed	$	200,000
April 28, 2023	(1)	June 30, 2025	Variable to Fixed	200,000
June 30, 2023		June 30, 2026	Variable to Fixed	150,000
			Total	$	550,000

(1) Swap agreements were originally effective on April 30, 2019 and were amended during the first quarter of fiscal 2024 to transition from LIBOR-indexed to term SOFR-indexed periodic swap payments to align with interest payments in connection with its term SOFR-indexed debt. See Note 2, “Basis of Presentation,” to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information on the transition.

The floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps involve the exchange of variable interest amounts from a counterparty for the Company making fixed-rate interest payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount and effectively convert a portion of the variable rate debt into fixed interest rate debt.

Derivative instruments are recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheet on a gross basis at estimated fair value. As of September 30, 2023, $13.2 million and $4.7 million, were classified as other current assets and other long-term assets, respectively, on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of March 31, 2023, $11.2 million, $3.5 million and $1.4 million were classified as other current assets, other long-term assets and other long-term liabilities, respectively, on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

For interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges, the changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, or AOCI, net of taxes, and is subsequently reclassified into interest expense, net in the period that the hedged forecasted interest payments are made on the Company's variable-rate debt. The effect of derivative instruments on the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 is as follows:

(2) The reclassifications from accumulated other comprehensive loss to net income was reduced by tax (expense) benefit of ($1.9 million) and $0.8 million for the six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Over the next 12 months, the Company estimates that $13.2 million will be reclassified as a decrease to interest expense. Cash flows associated with periodic settlements of interest rate swaps will be classified as operating activities in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

The Company is subject to counterparty risk in connection with its interest rate swap derivative contracts. Credit risk related to a derivative financial instrument represents the possibility that the counterparty will not fulfill the terms of the contract. The Company mitigates this credit risk by entering into agreements with credit-worthy counterparties and regularly reviews its credit exposure and the creditworthiness of the counterparties.

10. Income Taxes

The Company’s effective income tax rates were 24.4% and 23.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 22.2% and 23.1% for the six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Our effective tax rates for these periods differ from the federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to the inclusion of state and foreign income taxes and permanent rate differences, which are predominantly related to certain executive compensation and the accrual of reserves for uncertain tax positions, offset by research and development tax credits, excess tax benefits for employee share-based compensation, and the Foreign Derived Intangible Income deduction.

The Company is currently contesting tax assessments from the District of Columbia Office of Tax and Revenue (“DC OTR”) for fiscal years 2013 through 2015. The assessment relates to $11.7 million of taxes, net of federal tax benefits, as of September 30, 2023.

During fiscal 2022, the Company received notification that the District of Columbia Office of Administrative Hearings ruled in favor of the DC OTR. The Company is currently appealing the decision with the District of Columbia Court of Appeals. The Company intends to continue to vigorously defend this matter. Oral arguments occurred on September 26, 2023 and the Company continues to wait on further developments from the court.

The Company has taken similar tax positions with respect to subsequent fiscal years. As of September 30, 2023, the Company does not maintain reserves for any uncertain tax positions related to the contested tax benefits related to 2013 through 2015, nor does it maintain reserves for the similar tax positions taken in the subsequent fiscal years. Management continues to evaluate this position quarterly to determine if a change in estimate is needed. If an adverse final resolution were to occur with respect to the contested tax benefits or the similar tax positions taken for fiscal years 2013 through 2020, the total potential future tax expense that would arise would be approximately $40.4 million to $64.3 million, net of federal benefit.

During fiscal 2024, the Company expects to recognize an increase in reserves for uncertain tax positions related to an increase in research and development tax credits available, as in prior years, and the required capitalization of research and development expenditures which began in fiscal 2023. The unrecognized tax benefits related to the capitalization of research and development expenditures is expected to be offset by a deferred tax asset.

Tax Receivables and Payables

The Company has both income tax receivables and income tax payable on its condensed consolidated balance sheets as follows:

	September 30, 2023	March 31, 2023
Current income tax receivable	24,031	23,633
Long term income tax receivable	167,821	167,821
Current income tax payable	6,668	14,523

Current income tax payable represents current liabilities associated with the Company’s current tax returns that the Company intends to file in fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2025. This amount is classified as other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The long-term income tax receivable primarily represents the amended U.S. federal return refund claims for research and development tax credits and the carryback claim for the fiscal 2021 net operating loss which is classified as other long-term assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company is currently under federal audit by the IRS for fiscal years 2016, 2017 and 2019-2021 and the receipt of our U.S federal return refund claims is contingent upon the completion of the ongoing IRS audits.

11. Employee Benefit Plans

The Company sponsors the Employees’ Capital Accumulation Plan (the “ECAP”) which is a qualified defined contribution plan that covers eligible U.S. and certain international employees. The ECAP provides for distributions to participants by reason of retirement, death, disability, or termination of employment. The Company provides an annual matching contribution of up to 6% of eligible annual compensation. Total expenses recognized for matching contributions under the ECAP were $53.6 million and $45.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $108.1 million and $92.1 million for the six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The Company also provides post-retirement healthcare benefits to former officers under a medical indemnity insurance plan, with premiums paid by the Company. As of September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, the unfunded status of the post-retirement medical plan was $107.1 million and $105.6 million, respectively, which is included in other long-term liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Balance sheet and income statement impacts of any remaining benefit plans are immaterial for all periods presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements.    

12. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

All amounts recorded in other comprehensive income are related to the Company's post-retirement plans and interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges. The following table shows the changes in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax:

13. Stock-Based Compensation

The following table summarizes stock-based compensation expense recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations:

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Six Months Ended September 30,
	2023		2022		2023		2022

The following table summarizes the total stock-based compensation expense recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations by the following types of equity awards, including stock options, time-based and performance-based restricted stock awards. Compensation expense for performance-based awards is estimated at each reporting date using management's expectation of the probable achievement of the specified performance criteria of each tranche during the respective performance periods:

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Six Months Ended September 30,
	2023		2022		2023		2022

Total	$	19,825	$	18,526	$	37,510	$	32,222

As of September 30, 2023, there was $95.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock-based compensation agreements. The unrecognized compensation cost as of September 30, 2023 is expected to be fully amortized over the next 4.00 years. Absent the effect of forfeiture or acceleration of stock compensation cost for any departures of employees, the following table summarizes the unrecognized compensation cost and the weighted-average period the cost is expected to be amortized:

	September 30, 2023
	Unrecognized Compensation Cost		Weighted Average Remaining Period to be Recognized (in years)

Equity Incentive Plan

As of September 30, 2023, there were 0.8 million EIP options outstanding, of which 0.3 million were unvested.

During the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, the Board of Directors granted 0.1 million and 0.9 million, respectively, time-based and performance-based restricted stock units to certain employees of the Company. The aggregate value of these awards was $7.0 million and $79.3 million for each respective period based on the grant date fair value. The performance-based awards granted during the six months ended September 30, 2023 included additional market conditions related to the Company’s total shareholder return relative to its peer group over the three-year performance period. The Company recognizes compensation expense for these performance-based awards with market conditions based on the grant-date fair value calculated using a Monte Carlo model.

14. Fair Value Measurements

The accounting standard for fair value measurements establishes a three-tier 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 (Level 2); and unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which requires the Company to develop its own assumptions (Level 3).

A financial instrument's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The financial instruments measured at fair value in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets consist of the following:

	Recurring Fair Value Measurements as of September 30, 2023
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Assets:
Current derivative instruments (2)	$	—	$	13,183	$	—	$	13,183
Long-term derivative instruments (2)	—		4,725		—		4,725
Long-term deferred compensation plan asset (1)	26,067		—		—		26,067
Total Assets	$	26,067	$	17,908	$	—	$	43,975
Liabilities:
Long-term deferred compensation plan liability (1)	26,067		—		—		26,067
Total Liabilities	$	26,067	$	—	$	—	$	26,067

	Recurring Fair Value Measurements as of March 31, 2023
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Assets:
Current derivative instruments (2)	$	—	$	11,245	$	—	$	11,245
Long-term derivative instruments (2)	—		3,530		—		3,530
Long-term deferred compensation plan asset (1)	20,090		—		—		20,090
Total Assets	$	20,090	$	14,775	$	—	$	34,865
Liabilities:
Long-term derivative instruments (2)	—		1,369		—		1,369
Long-term deferred compensation plan liability (1)	20,090		—		—		20,090
Total Liabilities	$	20,090	$	1,369	$	—	$	21,459

(1) Investments in this category consist primarily of mutual funds whose fair values are determined by reference to the quoted market price per unit in active markets multiplied by the number of units held without consideration of transaction costs. These assets and liabilities represent investments held in a consolidated trust to fund the Company's non-qualified deferred compensation plan and are recorded in other long-term assets and other long-term liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

(2) The Company’s interest rate swaps are considered over-the-counter derivatives and fair value is estimated based on the present value of future cash flows using a model-derived valuation that uses Level 2 observable inputs such as interest rate yield curves. See Note 9, “Derivatives,” to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion on the Company’s derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges.

BOOZ ALLEN HAMILTON HOLDING CORPORATION

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Amounts in tables in thousands, except share and per share data or unless otherwise noted)

We did not have any material items that were measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of September 30, 2023, with the exception of the assets and liabilities acquired through our acquisitions (see Note 5, “Acquisition, Goodwill and Intangible Assets,” to the condensed consolidated financial statements).

The fair value of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, which are Level 1 inputs, approximated its carrying value at September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023. The Company’s cash and cash equivalent balances presented on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets include $286.3 million and $237.8 million of marketable securities in money market funds as of September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively.

The Company's long-term debt is carried at amortized cost and is measured at fair value quarterly for disclosure purposes. The estimated fair values are determined using quoted prices or other market information obtained from recent trading activity of the debt in markets that are not active (Level 2 inputs). The fair value is corroborated by prices derived from the interest rate spreads of recently completed leveraged loan transactions of a similar credit profile, industry, and terms to that of the Company. The fair value of the Senior Notes are determined using quoted prices or other market information obtained from recent trading activity in the high-yield bond market (Level 2 inputs). The carrying amount and estimated fair value of long-term debt consists of the following:

	September 30, 2023				March 31, 2023
	Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value
Term Loan A	$	1,608,750	$	1,588,641	$	1,629,375	$	1,600,861
3.88% Senior Notes due 2028	700,000		626,976		700,000		638,540
4.00% Senior Notes due 2029	500,000		442,195		500,000		451,930
5.95% Senior Notes due 2033	650,000		631,781		—		—

15. Commitments and Contingencies

Letters of Credit and Third-Party Guarantees

As of September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, the Company was contingently liable under open standby letters of credit and bank guarantees issued by our banks in favor of third parties that totaled $4.4 million and $6.1 million, respectively. These letters of credit and bank guarantees primarily support insurance and bid and performance obligations. At both September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, approximately $1.3 million of these instruments reduced the available borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. The remainder is guaranteed under a separate $7.5 million facility of which $4.4 million and $2.7 million were available to the Company at September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively.

Government Contracting Matters - Provision for Claimed Indirect Costs

For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, approximately 99% and 97%, respectively, of the Company's revenue was generated from contracts where the end user was an agency or department of the U.S. government, including contracts where the Company performed either as a prime contractor or subcontractor, and regardless of the geographic location in which the work was performed. For the six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, approximately 98% and 97%, respectively, of the Company's revenue was generated from such contracts. As noted in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, in the ordinary course of business, agencies of the U.S. government, including the Defense Contract Audit Agency (“DCAA”), audit the Company’s claimed indirect costs and conduct inquiries and investigations of our business practices with respect to government contracts to determine whether the Company's operations are conducted in accordance with these requirements and the terms of the relevant contracts. During the second quarter of fiscal 2024, DCAA issued their findings related to the audit of the Company’s claimed indirect costs for fiscal 2022. Based upon DCAA’s audit findings, the Company reduced a portion of its provision for claimed indirect costs related to fiscal 2022 by approximately $18.3 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2024, which resulted in a corresponding increase to revenue, to reflect our best estimate of the final indirect cost rates for fiscal 2022. Operating income for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023 was accordingly increased by $18.3 million and net income was increased by $13.5 million (or $0.10 of basic and diluted earnings per common share for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023). Our final indirect cost rates for fiscal 2022 remain subject to negotiation with the Defense Contract Management Agency (“DCMA”) Administrative Contracting Officer. Management believes it has recorded the appropriate provision for claimed indirect costs for any audit, inquiry, or investigation of which it is aware that may be subject to any reductions and/or penalties. As of September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, the Company had recorded liabilities of approximately $328.9 million and $326.7 million, respectively, for estimated adjustments to claimed indirect costs based on its historical DCAA audit results, including the final resolution of such audits with DCMA, for claimed indirect costs incurred subsequent to fiscal 2011, and for contracts not yet closed that are subject to audit and final resolution.

Litigation

Our performance under U.S. government contracts and compliance with the terms of those contracts and applicable laws and regulations are subject to continuous audit, review, and investigation by the U.S. government, which may include such investigative techniques as subpoenas or civil investigative demands. Given the nature of our business, these audits, reviews, and investigations may focus, among other areas, on various aspects of procurement integrity, labor time reporting, sensitive and/or classified information access and control, executive compensation, and post government employment restrictions. We are not always aware of our status in such matters, but we are currently aware of certain pending audits and investigations involving labor time reporting, procurement integrity, and classified information access. In addition, from time to time, we are also involved in legal proceedings and investigations arising in the ordinary course of business, including those relating to employment matters, relationships with clients and contractors, intellectual property disputes, and other business matters. These legal proceedings seek various remedies, including claims for monetary damages in varying amounts, none of which are considered material, or are unspecified as to amount. Although the outcome of any such matter is inherently uncertain and may be materially adverse, based on current information, we do not expect any of the currently ongoing audits, reviews, investigations, or litigation to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. As of September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, there were no material amounts accrued in the condensed consolidated financial statements related to these proceedings. As previously disclosed in Note 20, “Commitments and Contingencies,” to the consolidated financial statements of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, the Company is not able to reasonably estimate the expected amount or range of cost or any loss associated with these matters.

On June 7, 2017, Booz Allen Hamilton was informed that the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) was conducting a civil and criminal investigation of the Company. In connection with the investigation, the DOJ requested information from the Company relating to certain elements of the Company’s cost accounting and indirect cost charging practices with the U.S. government. The investigation resulted from a qui tam lawsuit filed on or about September 26, 2016 in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia pursuant to the qui tam provisions of the civil False Claims Act (the “Civil Action”), which lawsuit was under judicial seal until July 21, 2023. After learning of the investigation, the Company engaged a law firm experienced in these matters to represent the Company in connection with this matter and respond to the government's requests. As is commonly the case with this type of matter, the Company was also contacted by other regulatory agencies and bodies, including the SEC, which notified the Company that it was conducting an investigation that the Company believes related to the matters that were also the subject of the DOJ's investigation.

On May 12, 2021, the Company was informed that the DOJ closed its criminal investigation.

On July 21, 2023, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with the United States of America, acting through the DOJ and on behalf of the Department of Defense and Defense Contract Management Agency (collectively the “United States”), and Relator Sarah A. Feinberg, to resolve the DOJ’s civil investigation and the Civil Action. The Company entered into the Settlement Agreement to avoid the delay, uncertainty and expense of protracted litigation. The Settlement Agreement contains no admission of liability by the Company.

Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to pay to the United States $377.5 million (the “Settlement Amount”). The Company paid the Settlement Amount with cash on hand and by drawing on its revolving credit facility. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had recorded a $377.5 million reserve relating to this investigation and had previously disclosed that it believed the range of reasonably possible loss in connection with the investigation to be between $350 million and $378 million. Following the United States’ receipt of the Settlement Amount, the Company was released from any civil or administrative monetary claims under the civil False Claims Act and other specified civil statutes and common law theories of liability for certain elements of the Company’s cost accounting and indirect cost charging practices from April 1, 2011 through March 31, 2021, and the claim brought in the Civil Action was dismissed with prejudice.

On July 27, 2023, the Company was informed that the SEC concluded its investigation without recommending an enforcement action.

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

Financial and Other Highlights

During the second quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company generated year over year revenue growth and increased client staff headcount.

Revenue increased 16.0% in the three months ended September 30, 2023 from the three months ended September 30, 2022 and increased 17.0% in the six months ended September 30, 2023 from the six months ended September 30, 2022. The increase was primarily driven by strong demand for our services and solutions as well as continued headcount growth. The increase in revenue over the year-to-date period also includes approximately $69.9 million of contributions related to the acquisition of EverWatch Corp. (“EverWatch”), as well as an increase of $18.3 million representing the reduction to our provision for claimed indirect costs recorded during the second quarter of fiscal 2024. See Note 15, “Commitments and Contingencies,” to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

Operating income increased 19.2% to $267.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $223.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2022 and operating margin increased from 9.7% in the prior year period to 10.0%. Operating income increased 16.3% to $501.4 million in the six months ended September 30, 2023 from $431.1 million in the six months ended September 30, 2022, which reflects a decrease in operating margin from 9.5% to 9.4%. Year-to-date margins were impacted by a $27.5 million reserve associated with the U.S. Department of Justice's investigation of the company (see Note 15, “Commitments and Contingencies,” to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information). Margin results reflect strong contract-level performance coupled with ongoing cost management efforts, but also reflect higher billable expenses.

Non-GAAP Measures

We publicly disclose certain non-GAAP financial measurements, including Revenue, Excluding Billable Expenses, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin on Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA Margin on Revenue, Excluding Billable Expenses, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share, or Adjusted Diluted EPS, because management uses these measures for business planning purposes, including to manage our business against internal projected results of operations and measure our performance. We view Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin on Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA Margin on Revenue, Excluding Billable Expenses, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted EPS as measures of our core operating business, which exclude the impact of the items detailed below, as these items are generally not operational in nature. These non-GAAP measures also provide another basis for comparing period to period results by excluding potential differences caused by non-operational and unusual or non-recurring items. In addition, we use Revenue, Excluding Billable Expenses because it provides management useful information about the Company's operating performance by excluding the impact of costs that are not indicative of the level of productivity of our client staff headcount and our overall direct labor, which management believes provides useful information to our investors about our core operations. We also utilize and discuss Free Cash Flow because management uses this measure for business planning purposes, measuring the cash generating ability of the operating business, and measuring liquidity generally. We present these supplemental measures because we believe that these measures provide investors and securities analysts with important supplemental information with which to evaluate our performance, long-term earnings potential, or liquidity, as applicable, and to enable them to assess our performance on the same basis as management. These supplemental performance measurements may vary from and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures by other companies in our industry. Revenue, Excluding Billable Expenses, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin on Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA Margin on Revenue, Excluding Billable Expenses, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, and Free Cash Flow are not recognized measurements under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, and when analyzing our performance or liquidity, as applicable, investors should (i) evaluate each adjustment in our reconciliation of revenue to Revenue, Excluding Billable Expenses, operating income to Adjusted Operating Income, net income to Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin on Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA Margin on Revenue, Excluding Billable Expenses, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share, and net cash provided by operating activities to Free Cash Flow, (ii) use Revenue, Excluding Billable Expenses, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin on Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA Margin on Revenue, Excluding Billable Expenses, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted EPS in addition to, and not as an alternative to, revenue, operating income, net income or diluted EPS, as measures of operating results, each as defined under GAAP and (iii) use Free Cash Flow in addition to, and not as an alternative to, net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity, each as defined under GAAP. We have defined the aforementioned non-GAAP measures as follows:

•“Revenue, Excluding Billable Expenses” represents revenue less billable expenses. We use Revenue, Excluding Billable Expenses because it provides management useful information about the Company's operating performance by excluding the impact of costs that are not indicative of the level of productivity of our client staff headcount and our overall direct labor, which management believes provides useful information to our investors about our core operations.

•“Adjusted Operating Income” represents operating income before the change in provision for claimed indirect costs, acquisition and divestiture costs, financing transaction costs, significant acquisition amortization, and the reserve associated with the U.S. Department of Justice investigation disclosed in Note 15, “Commitments and Contingencies,” to the condensed consolidated financial statements. We prepare Adjusted Operating Income to eliminate the impact of items we do not consider indicative of ongoing operating performance due to their inherent unusual, extraordinary, or non-recurring nature or because they result from an event of a similar nature.

•“Adjusted EBITDA” represents net income attributable to common stockholders before income taxes, net interest and other expense and depreciation and amortization and before certain other items, including the change in provision for claimed indirect costs, acquisition and divestiture costs, financing transaction costs, and the reserve associated with the U.S. Department of Justice investigation disclosed in Note 15, “Commitments and Contingencies,” to the condensed consolidated financial statements. “Adjusted EBITDA Margin on Revenue” is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. “Adjusted EBITDA Margin on Revenue, Excluding Billable Expenses” is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by Revenue, Excluding Billable Expenses. The Company prepares Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin on Revenue, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin on Revenue, Excluding Billable Expenses to eliminate the impact of items it does not consider indicative of ongoing operating performance due to their inherent unusual, extraordinary or non-recurring nature or because they result from an event of a similar nature.

23

•“Adjusted Net Income” represents net income attributable to common stockholders before: (i) the change in provision for claimed indirect costs (ii) acquisition and divestiture costs, (iii) financing transaction costs, (iv) significant acquisition amortization, (v) the reserve associated with the U.S. Department of Justice investigation disclosed in Note 15, “Commitments and Contingencies,” to the condensed consolidated financial statements, (vi) gains associated with divestitures or deconsolidation, and (vii) amortization and write-off of debt issuance costs and debt discount, in each case net of the tax effect where appropriate calculated using an assumed effective tax rate. We prepare Adjusted Net Income to eliminate the impact of items, net of tax, we do not consider indicative of ongoing operating performance due to their inherent unusual, extraordinary, or non-recurring nature or because they result from an event of a similar nature. We view Adjusted Net Income as an important indicator of performance consistent with the manner in which management measures and forecasts the Company's performance and the way in which management is incentivized to perform.

•“Adjusted Diluted EPS” represents diluted EPS calculated using Adjusted Net Income as opposed to net income. Additionally, Adjusted Diluted EPS does not contemplate any adjustments to net income as required under the two-class method as disclosed in the footnotes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

•“Free Cash Flow” represents the net cash generated from operating activities less the impact of purchases of property, equipment, and software.

Below is a reconciliation of Revenue, Excluding Billable Expenses, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin on Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA Margin on Revenue, Excluding Billable Expenses, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, and Free Cash Flow to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

* Revenue, Excluding Billable Expenses includes $18.3 million of revenue resulting from the reduction to our provision for claimed indirect costs as noted below.

(a)Represents the reduction to our provision for claimed indirect costs recorded during the second quarter of fiscal 2024, which resulted in a corresponding increase to revenue, as a result of the Defense Contract Audit Agency’s findings related to its audit of our claimed indirect costs for fiscal 2022. See Note 15, “ Commitments and Contingencies,” to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

(b)Represents costs associated with the acquisition efforts of the Company related to transactions for which the Company has entered into a letter of intent to acquire a controlling financial interest in the target entity, as well as the divestiture costs incurred in divesting a portion of our business. Acquisition and divestiture costs primarily include costs associated with (i) buy-side and sell-side due diligence activities, (ii) compensation expenses associated with employee retention, and (iii) legal and advisory fees, primarily associated with the acquisitions of Liberty IT Solutions, LLC (“Liberty”) and Tracepoint Holdings, LLC (“Tracepoint”) in fiscal 2022, and the acquisition of EverWatch Corp. (“EverWatch”) and the divestitures of our management consulting business serving the Middle East and North Africa (“MENA”) and our Managed Threat Services business (“MTS”) in fiscal 2023.See Note 5, “Acquisition, Goodwill and Intangible Assets,” to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

(c)Reflects expenses associated with debt financing activities incurred during the second quarters of fiscal 2024 and 2023.

(d)Amortization expense associated with acquired intangibles from significant acquisitions. Significant acquisitions include acquisitions which the Company considers to be beyond the scope of our normal operations. Significant acquisition amortization includes amortization expense associated with the acquisition of Liberty in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 and EverWatch in the third quarter of fiscal 2023.

(e)Reserve associated with the U.S. Department of Justice's investigation of the Company. See Note 15, “Commitments and Contingencies,” to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

(f)Reflects the combination of Interest expense and Other income (expense), net from the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

(g)Represents the gain recognized on the MENA divestiture.

25

(h)Reflects the tax effect of adjustments at an assumed effective tax rate of 26%, which approximates the blended federal and state tax rates, and consistently excludes the impact of other tax credits and incentive benefits realized. The tax effect of certain discrete items is calculated specifically and may vary from the general 26% rate. The tax effect also includes the indirect effects of uncertainty around the application of Section 174 of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.

(i)Excludes adjustments of approximately $1.4 million and $2.7 million of net earnings for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and approximately $1.4 million and $2.3 million of net earnings for the three and six months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, associated with the application of the two-class method for computing diluted earnings per share.

Factors and Trends Affecting Our Results of Operations

Our results of operations have been, and we expect them to continue to be, affected by the following factors, which may cause our future results of operations to differ from our historical results of operations discussed under “- Results of Operations.”

Business Environment and Key Trends in Our Markets

We believe that the following trends and developments in the U.S. government services industry and our markets may influence our future results of operations:

•uncertainty around the timing, extent, nature and effect of Congressional and other U.S. government actions to approve funding of the U.S. government, address budgetary constraints, including caps on the discretionary budget for defense and non-defense departments and agencies, as established by the Bipartisan Budget Control Act of 2011 (“BCA”) and subsequently adjusted by the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013, the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015, the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018, and the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2019, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), and the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021, and address the ability of Congress to determine how to allocate the available budget authority and pass appropriations bills to fund both U.S. government departments and agencies that are, and those that are not, subject to the caps;

•budget deficits and the growing U.S. national debt increasing pressure on the U.S. government to reduce federal spending across all federal agencies together with associated uncertainty about the size and timing of those reductions;

•cost-cutting and efficiency initiatives, current and future budget restrictions, continued implementation of Congressionally mandated automatic spending cuts, and other efforts to reduce U.S. government spending could cause clients to reduce or delay funding for orders for services or invest appropriated funds on a less consistent or rapid basis or not at all, particularly when considering long-term initiatives and in light of current uncertainty around Congressional efforts to craft a long-term agreement on the U.S. government's ability to incur indebtedness in excess of its current limits, and generally in the current political environment, there is a risk that clients will not issue task orders in sufficient volume to reach current contract ceilings, alter historical patterns of contract awards, including the typical increase in the award of task orders or completion of other contract actions by the U.S. government in the period before the end of the U.S. government's fiscal year on September 30, delay requests for new proposals and contract awards, rely on short-term extensions and funding of current contracts, or reduce staffing levels and hours of operation;

•delays in the completion of future U.S. government’s budget processes, which have in the past and could in the future delay procurement of the products, services, and solutions we provide;

•changes in the relative mix of overall U.S. government spending and areas of spending growth, with lower spending on homeland security, intelligence, defense-related programs as certain overseas operations end, and continued increased spending on cybersecurity, Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR), advanced analytics, technology integration, and healthcare, including as a result of the presidential and administration transition;

•the extent, nature and effect of disease outbreaks, pandemics and widespread health epidemics, such as COVID-19, including the impact on federal budgets, current and pending procurements, supply chains, demand for services, deployment and productivity of our employees and the economic and societal impact of a pandemic, and the expected continued volatility in billable expenses;

•increased inflationary pressure that could impact the cost of doing business and/or reduce customer buying power;

•risks related to a possible recession and volatility or instability of the global financial system, including bank failures and the resulting impact on counterparties and business conditions generally;

26

•legislative and regulatory changes to limitations on the amount of allowable executive compensation permitted under flexibly priced contracts following implementation of interim rules adopted by federal agencies pursuant to the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013, which substantially further reduce the amount of allowable executive compensation under these contracts and extend these limitations to a larger segment of our executives and our entire contract base;

•efforts by the U.S. government to address organizational conflicts of interest and related issues and the impact of those efforts on us and our competitors;

•increased audit, review, investigation, and general scrutiny by U.S. government agencies of government contractors' performance under U.S. government contracts and compliance with the terms of those contracts and applicable laws;

•the federal focus on refining the definition of “inherently governmental” work, including proposals to limit contractor access to sensitive or classified information and work assignments, which will continue to drive pockets of insourcing in various agencies, particularly in the intelligence market;

•negative publicity and increased scrutiny of government contractors in general, including us, relating to U.S. government expenditures for contractor services and incidents involving the mishandling of sensitive or classified information;

•U.S. government agencies awarding contracts on a technically acceptable/lowest cost basis, which could have a negative impact on our ability to win certain contracts;

•increased competition from other government contractors and market entrants seeking to take advantage of certain of the trends identified above, and an industry trend towards consolidation, which may result in the emergence of companies that are better able to compete against us;

•cost cutting and efficiency and effectiveness efforts by U.S. civilian agencies with a focus on increased use of performance measurement, “program integrity” efforts to reduce waste, fraud and abuse in entitlement programs, and renewed focus on improving procurement practices for and interagency use of IT services, including through the use of cloud based options and data center consolidation;

•restrictions by the U.S. government on the ability of federal agencies to use lead system integrators, in response to cost, schedule, and performance problems with large defense acquisition programs where contractors were performing the lead system integrator role;

•increasingly complex requirements and enforcement and reporting landscapes of the Department of Defense and the U.S. intelligence community, including cybersecurity, managing federal health care cost growth, competition, and focus on reforming existing government regulation of various sectors of the economy, such as financial regulation and healthcare; and

•increasing small business regulations across the Department of Defense and civilian agency clients continue to gain traction, agencies are required to meet high small business set aside targets, and large business prime contractors are required to subcontract in accordance with considerable small business participation goals necessary for contract award.

Sources of Revenue

Substantially all of our revenue is derived from services provided under contracts and task orders with the U.S. government, primarily by our client staff and, to a lesser extent, our subcontractors. Funding for our contracts and task orders is generally linked to trends in budgets and spending across various U.S. government agencies and departments. We provide services under a large portfolio of contracts and contract vehicles to a broad client base, and we believe that our diversified contract and client base lessens potential volatility in our business; however, a reduction in the amount of services that we are contracted to provide to the U.S. government or any of our significant U.S. government clients could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. In particular, the Department of Defense is one of our significant clients, and the BCA originally required nine automatic spending cuts (referred to as “sequestration”) of $109 billion annually from 2013 to 2021, half of which was intended to come from defense programs, though less than $1 billion has been cut for defense programs per year under the BCA. Mandatory sequestrations under the BCA were subsequently extended by the Bipartisan Budget Acts of 2013, 2015, 2018 and 2019, the Military Retired Pay Restoration Act, the CARES Act and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. The extension of the mandatory sequestration applies an 8.3% reduction in defense spending in each year from 2021 to 2031. This could result in a commensurate reduction in the amount of services that we are contracted to provide to the Department of Defense and could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations, and given the uncertainty of when and how these automatic reductions required by the BCA may return and/or be applied, we are unable to predict the nature or magnitude of the potential adverse effect.

27

Contract Types

We generate revenue under the following three basic types of contracts:

•Cost-Reimbursable Contracts. Cost-reimbursable contracts provide for the payment of allowable costs incurred during performance of the contract, up to a ceiling based on the amount that has been funded, plus a fixed fee or award fee. As we increase or decrease our spending on allowable costs, our revenue generated on cost-reimbursable contracts will increase, up to the ceiling and funded amounts, or decrease, respectively. We generate revenue under two general types of cost-reimbursable contracts: cost-plus-fixed-fee and cost-plus-award-fee, both of which reimburse allowable costs and provide for a fee. The fee under each type of cost-reimbursable contract is generally payable upon completion of services in accordance with the terms of the contract. Cost-plus-fixed-fee contracts offer no opportunity for payment beyond the fixed fee. Cost-plus-award-fee contracts also provide for an award fee that varies within specified limits based upon the client’s assessment of our performance against a predetermined set of criteria, such as targets for factors like cost, quality, schedule, and performance.

•Time-and-Materials Contracts. Under contracts in this category, we are paid a fixed hourly rate for each direct labor hour expended, and we are reimbursed for billable material costs and billable out-of-pocket expenses inclusive of allocable indirect costs. We assume the financial risk on time-and-materials contracts because our costs of performance may exceed negotiated hourly rates. To the extent our actual direct labor, including allocated indirect costs, and associated billable expenses decrease or increase in relation to the fixed hourly billing rates provided in the contract, we will generate more or less profit, respectively, or could incur a loss.

•Fixed-Price Contracts. Under a fixed-price contract, we agree to perform the specified work for a predetermined price. To the extent our actual direct and allocated indirect costs decrease or increase from the estimates upon which the price was negotiated, we will generate more or less profit, respectively, or could incur a loss. Some fixed-price contracts have a performance-based component, pursuant to which we can earn incentive payments or incur financial penalties based on our performance. Fixed-price level of effort contracts require us to provide a specified level of effort (i.e., labor hours), over a stated period of time, for a fixed price.

The amount of risk and potential reward varies under each type of contract. Under cost-reimbursable contracts, there is limited financial risk, because we are reimbursed for all allowable costs up to a ceiling. However, profit margins on this type of contract tend to be lower than on time-and-materials and fixed-price contracts. Under time-and-materials contracts, we are reimbursed for the hours worked using the predetermined hourly rates for each labor category. In addition, we are typically reimbursed for other contract direct costs and expenses at cost. We assume financial risk on time-and-materials contracts because our labor costs may exceed the negotiated billing rates. Profit margins on well-managed time-and-materials contracts tend to be higher than profit margins on cost-reimbursable contracts as long as we are able to staff those contracts with people who have an appropriate skill set. Under fixed-price contracts, we are required to deliver the objectives under the contract for a predetermined price. Compared to time-and-materials and cost-reimbursable contracts, fixed-price contracts generally offer higher profit margin opportunities because we receive the full benefit of any cost savings but generally involve greater financial risk because we bear the impact of any cost overruns. In the aggregate, the contract type mix in our revenue for any given period will affect that period's profitability. Changes in contract type as a result of re-competes and new business could influence the percentage/mix in unanticipated ways.

The table below presents the percentage of total revenue for each type of contract:

	Three Months Ended September 30,		Six Months Ended September 30,
	2023	2022	2023	2022
Cost-reimbursable	55%	52%	55%	53%
Time-and-materials	24%	25%	24%	24%
Fixed-price	21%	23%	21%	23%

Contract Diversity and Revenue Mix

We provide services to our clients through a large number of single award contracts, contract vehicles, and multiple award contract vehicles. Most of our revenue is generated under indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity, or IDIQ, contract vehicles, which include multiple award government wide acquisition contract vehicles, or GWACs, and General Services Administration Multiple Award Schedule Contracts, or GSA schedules, and certain single award contracts. GWACs and GSA schedules are available to all U.S. government agencies. Any number of contractors typically competes under multiple award IDIQ contract vehicles for task orders to provide particular services, and we earn revenue under these contract vehicles only to the extent that we are successful in the bidding process for task orders.

28

We generate revenue under our contracts and task orders through our provision of services as both a prime contractor and subcontractor, as well as from the provision of services by subcontractors under contracts and task orders for which we act as the prime contractor. The mix of these types of revenue affects our operating margin. Substantially all of our operating margin is derived from direct client staff labor, as the portion of our operating margin derived from fees we earn on services provided by our subcontractors is not significant. We view growth in direct client staff labor as the primary driver of earnings growth. Direct client staff labor growth is driven by client staff headcount growth, after attrition, and total backlog growth.

Revenue from our contracts is derived from services delivered by client staff and, to a lesser extent, from our subcontractors. Our ability to hire, retain, and deploy talent with skills appropriately aligned with client needs is critical to our ability to grow our revenue. We continuously evaluate whether our talent base is properly sized and appropriately compensated, and contains an optimal mix of skills to be cost competitive and meet the rapidly evolving needs of our clients. We seek to achieve that result through recruitment and management of capacity and compensation. As of September 30, 2023 and 2022, we employed approximately 33,100 and 30,000 people, respectively, of which approximately 30,200 and 27,200, respectively, were client staff.

Contract Backlog

We define backlog to include the following three components:

•Funded Backlog. Funded backlog represents the revenue value of orders for services under existing contracts for which funding is appropriated or otherwise authorized less revenue previously recognized on these contracts.

•Unfunded Backlog. Unfunded backlog represents the revenue value of orders (including optional orders) for services under existing contracts for which funding has not been appropriated or otherwise authorized.

•Priced Options. Priced contract options represent 100% of the revenue value of all future contract option periods under existing contracts that may be exercised at our clients’ option and for which funding has not been appropriated or otherwise authorized.

Our backlog does not include contracts that have been awarded but are currently under protest and also does not include any task orders under IDIQ contracts, except to the extent that task orders have been awarded to us under those contracts.

The following table summarizes the value of our contract backlog at the respective dates presented: 

	September 30, 2023		September 30, 2022
	(In millions)
Backlog:
Funded	$	6,282	$	5,475
Unfunded	10,128		10,380
Priced options	18,630		15,981
Total backlog	$	35,040	$	31,836

Our total backlog consists of remaining performance obligations, certain orders under contracts for which the period of performance has expired, and unexercised option period and other unexercised optional orders. As of September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, the Company had $9.8 billion and $7.9 billion of remaining performance obligations, respectively. We expect to recognize approximately 75% of the remaining performance obligations at September 30, 2023 as revenue over the next 12 months, and approximately 85% over the next 24 months. The remainder is expected to be recognized thereafter. However, given the uncertainties discussed below, as well as the risks described in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, we can give no assurance that we will be able to convert our backlog into revenue in any particular period, if at all. Our backlog includes orders under contracts that in some cases extend for several years. The U.S. Congress generally appropriates funds for our clients on a yearly basis, even though their contracts with us may call for performance that is expected to take a number of years to complete. As a result, contracts typically are only partially funded at any point during their term and all or some of the work to be performed under the contracts may remain unfunded unless and until the U.S. Congress makes subsequent appropriations and the procuring agency allocates funding to the contract.

29

We view growth in total backlog and client staff headcount as the two key measures of our potential business growth. Growing and deploying client staff is the primary means by which we are able to achieve profitable revenue growth. To the extent that we are able to hire additional client staff and deploy them against funded backlog, we generally recognize increased revenue. Total backlog increased by 10.1% from September 30, 2022 to September 30, 2023. Additions to funded backlog during the twelve months ended September 30, 2023 totaled $10.8 billion in comparison to $9.4 billion for the comparable period in fiscal 2023, as a result of the conversion of unfunded backlog to funded backlog, the award of new contracts and task orders under which funding was appropriated, and the exercise and subsequent funding of priced options. We report internally on our backlog on a monthly basis and review backlog upon occurrence of certain events to determine if any adjustments are necessary.

We cannot predict with any certainty the portion of our backlog that we expect to recognize as revenue in any future period and we cannot guarantee that we will recognize any revenue from our backlog. The primary risks that could affect our ability to recognize such revenue on a timely basis or at all are: program schedule changes, contract modifications, and our ability to assimilate and deploy new client staff against funded backlog; cost-cutting initiatives and other efforts to reduce U.S. government spending, which could reduce or delay funding for orders for services; and delayed funding of our contracts due to delays in the completion of the U.S. government's budgeting process and the use of continuing resolutions by the U.S. government to fund its operations. The amount of our funded backlog is also subject to change, due to, among other factors: changes in congressional appropriations that reflect changes in U.S. government policies or priorities resulting from various military, political, economic, or international developments; changes in the use of U.S. government contracting vehicles, and the provisions therein used to procure our services and adjustments to the scope of services, or cancellation of contracts, by the U.S. government at any time. In our recent experience, none of the following additional risks have had a material negative effect on our ability to realize revenue from our funded backlog: the unilateral right of the U.S. government to cancel multi-year contracts and related orders or to terminate existing contracts for convenience or default; in the case of unfunded backlog, the potential that funding will not be made available; and, in the case of priced options, the risk that our clients will not exercise their options.

In addition, contract backlog includes orders under contracts for which the period of performance has expired, and we may not recognize revenue on the funded backlog that includes such orders due to, among other reasons, the tardy submission of invoices by our subcontractors and the expiration of the relevant appropriated funding in accordance with a predetermined expiration date such as the end of the U.S. government's fiscal year. The revenue value of orders included in contract backlog that has not been recognized as revenue due to period of performance expirations has not exceeded approximately 4.8% of total backlog as of September 30, 2023 and any of the four preceding fiscal quarters.

We expect to recognize revenue from a substantial portion of funded backlog as of September 30, 2023 within the next twelve months. However, given the uncertainties discussed above, as well as the risks described in “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors,” of our fiscal 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we can give no assurance that we will be able to convert our backlog into revenue in any particular period, if at all.

Government Audit Impact on Operating Income

As noted in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, in the ordinary course of business, agencies of the U.S. government for which the Company is engaged as a prime contractor or a subcontractor, including the Defense Contract Audit Agency, audit the Company’s claimed indirect costs and conduct inquiries and investigations of our business practices with respect to government contracts. Such audits may result in, and have historically resulted in, the Company’s inability to retain certain claimed indirect costs, including executive and employee compensation, due to differing views of the allowability and reasonableness of such costs.

Due to the previously disclosed civil and criminal investigation of the Company by the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”), years subsequent to the Company’s fiscal year 2011 remain subject to audit and final resolution. As discussed in Note 15, “Commitments and Contingencies,” to the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company recognized a reserve for estimated adjustments to historical claimed indirect costs in respect of the years subsequent to fiscal 2011, based primarily on historical audit results for periods prior to 2011. Following the settlement of the civil and criminal investigation of the Company by the DOJ, as reported in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2023, audits for years subsequent to fiscal 2011 have resumed. As audits of the periods subsequent to 2011 are completed, our estimates of adjustment to claimed indirect costs for these periods could change. Any such change could materially impact our reported revenue, operating income, net income and basic and diluted earnings per common share.

Operating Costs and Expenses

Costs associated with compensation and related expenses for our people are the most significant component of our operating costs and expenses. The principal factors that affect our costs are additional people as we grow our business and are awarded new contracts, task orders, and additional work under our existing contracts, and the hiring of people with specific skill sets and security clearances as required by our additional work.

30

Our most significant operating costs and expenses are described below.

•Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue includes direct labor, related employee benefits, and overhead. Overhead consists of indirect costs, including indirect labor relating to infrastructure, management and administration, and other expenses.

•Billable Expenses. Billable expenses include direct subcontractor expenses, travel expenses, and other expenses incurred to perform on contracts.

•General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses include indirect labor of executive management and corporate administrative functions, marketing and bid and proposal costs, legal costs and other discretionary spending.

•Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization includes the depreciation of computers, leasehold improvements, furniture and other equipment, and the amortization of internally developed software, as well as third-party software that we use internally, and of identifiable long-lived intangible assets over their estimated useful lives.

Seasonality

The U.S. government's fiscal year ends on September 30 of each year. While not certain, it is not uncommon for U.S. government agencies to award extra tasks or complete other contract actions in the weeks before the end of its fiscal year in order to avoid the loss of unexpended fiscal year funds. In addition, we also have historically experienced higher bid and proposal costs in the months leading up to the U.S. government's fiscal year end as we pursue new contract opportunities being awarded shortly after the U.S. government fiscal year end as new opportunities are expected to have funding appropriated in the U.S. government's subsequent fiscal year. We may continue to experience this seasonality in future periods, and our future periods may be affected by it. While not certain, changes in the government's funding and spending patterns have altered historical seasonality trends, supporting our approach to managing the business on an annual basis.

Seasonality is just one of a number of factors, many of which are outside of our control, which may affect our results in any period. See “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors,” of our fiscal 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies

Our critical accounting estimates and policies are disclosed in the Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies section in Part II, “Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2023. Other than the change in estimate resulting in a reduction to our provision for claimed indirect costs, there were no other material changes to our critical accounting policies, estimates or judgments that occurred in the quarterly period covered by this report. See Note 15, “Commitments and Contingencies,” to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information related to the aforementioned change in estimate.

Revenue

Revenue increased 16.0% and 17.0%, respectively, for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the three and six months ended September 30, 2022. The increase was primarily driven by strong demand for our services and solutions as well as continued headcount growth. The increase in revenue over the year-to-date period also includes approximately $70.0 million of contributions related to the Company's acquisition of EverWatch in the third quarter of fiscal 2023, as well as an increase of $18.3 million representing the reduction to our provision for claimed indirect costs recorded during the second quarter of fiscal 2024. See Note 15, “Commitments and Contingencies,” to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information. Total headcount as of September 30, 2023 increased by approximately 3,100 as compared to September 30, 2022.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue was 46.2% and 46.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 46.7% and 46.9% for the six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.`Cost of revenue increased 16.6% and 16.5% for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the three and six months ended September 30, 2022. The increases were primarily due to increases in salaries and salary-related benefits in the three and six months ended September 30, 2023 of $152.7 million and $324.9 million, respectively, driven by increased headcount and salary increases. Other business expenses and professional fees also increased $19.5 million and $28.9 million for the quarter and year-to-date periods.

Billable Expenses

Billable expenses as a percentage of revenue were 30.9% and 29.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 30.8% and 29.9% for the six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Billable expenses increased 20.4% for both the three and six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increases were primarily attributable to increases in the use of subcontractors driven by client demand and timing of client needs, as well as increases in expenses from contracts requiring the Company to incur other direct expenses and travel on behalf of clients as compared to the prior year period.

32

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue were 11.3% and 12.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 11.6% and 12.0% for the six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. General and administrative expenses increased 2.5% and 12.5% for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the three and six months ended September 30, 2022.

For the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, the increases were primarily driven by increases in salary and salary related benefits of $11.8 million and $25.2 million respectively, driven by increased headcount and salary increases. The year-to-date period was also impacted by a $27.5 million reserve associated with the U.S. Department of Justice's investigation of the Company (see Note 15, “Commitments and Contingencies,” to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information).

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense increased 4.8% and 4.5% for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the three and six months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to increases in intangible amortization related to the acquisitions in fiscal 2023.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased 57.9% and 51.4% for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the three and six months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to an overall increase in interest rates, as well as an increase of approximately $6.2 million related to the $650.0 million senior notes the Company issued in August of fiscal 2024.

Other Income (Expense), net

Other income (expense), net decreased to $3.6 million net other income for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $26.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, and decreased to $5.5 million net other income for the six months ended September 30, 2023 from $23.5 million for the six months ended September 30, 2022 . The decreases were primarily driven by a $31.2 million pre-tax gain associated with the divestiture of the Company’s MENA business and $3.4 million in fees related to the Company's debt refinancing, both in the second quarter of fiscal 2023, not present in the current year. This was partially offset by increases in interest income primarily due to an overall increase in interest rates.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense increased to $55.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $51.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of 7.4%, and increased to $94.6 million for the six months ended September 30, 2023 from $92.7 million for the six months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of 1.9%.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2023 increased to 24.4% from 23.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 primarily due to an increase in items recognized discretely in the current period relating to interest accrued on prior period uncertain tax positions. The effective tax rate for the six months ended September 30, 2023 decreased to 22.2% from 23.1% for the six months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to increases in the estimated Foreign Derived Intangible Income benefit and research tax credits, partially offset by an increase in items recognized discretely in the current period relating to interest accrued on prior period uncertain tax positions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2023, our total liquidity was $1.6 billion, consisting of $557.3 million of cash and cash equivalents and $998.7 million available under the Revolving Credit Facility. In the opinion of management, we will be able to meet our liquidity and cash needs through a combination of cash flows from operating activities, available cash balances, and available borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility. If these resources need to be augmented, additional cash requirements would likely be financed through the issuance of debt or equity securities.

33

The following table presents selected financial information as of September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023 and for the first six months of fiscal 2024 and 2023:

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities	308,353		(180,811)
Total increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	152,434	$	60,610

From time to time, we evaluate alternative uses for excess cash resources once our operating cash flow and required debt servicing needs have been met. Some of the possible uses of our remaining excess cash at any point in time may include funding strategic acquisitions, further investment in our business and returning value to shareholders through share repurchases, quarterly dividends, and special dividends. While the timing and financial magnitude of these possible actions are currently indeterminable, the Company expects to be able to manage and adjust its capital structure in the future to meet its liquidity needs.

Historically, we have been able to generate sufficient cash to fund our operations, mandatory debt and interest payments, capital expenditures, and discretionary funding needs. However, due to fluctuations in cash flows, including as a result of the trends and developments described above under “—Factors and Trends Affecting Our Results of Operations” relating to U.S. government shutdowns, U.S. government cost-cutting, reductions or delays in the U.S. government appropriations and spending process and other budgetary matters, it may be necessary from time-to-time in the future to borrow under our Senior Credit Facility to meet cash demands. While the timing and financial magnitude of these possible actions are currently indeterminable, we expect to be able to manage and adjust our capital structure to meet our liquidity needs. Our expected liquidity and capital structure may also be impacted by discretionary investments and acquisitions that we could pursue. We anticipate that cash provided by operating activities, existing cash and cash equivalents, and borrowing capacity under our Revolving Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements for the next twelve months, which primarily include:

•operating expenses, including salaries;

•working capital requirements to fund both organic and inorganic growth of our business;

•capital expenditures which primarily relate to the purchase of computers, business systems, furniture and leasehold improvements to support our operations;

•the ongoing maintenance around all financial management systems;

•commitments and other discretionary investments;

•debt service requirements for borrowings under our Senior Credit Facility and interest payments for the Senior Notes due 2028, Senior Notes due 2029 and Senior Notes due 2033; and

•cash taxes to be paid.

Our ability to fund our operating needs depends, in part, on our ability to generate positive cash flows from operations or, if necessary, raise cash in the capital markets. In addition, from time to time we evaluate conditions to opportunistically access the financing markets to secure additional debt capital resources and improve the terms of our indebtedness.

On October 14, 2022, the Company acquired EverWatch Corp. (“EverWatch”) for approximately $445.1 million, net of post-closing adjustments, and also incurred transaction costs as part of the acquisition. As a result of the transaction, EverWatch became a wholly owned subsidiary of Booz Allen Hamilton Inc. EverWatch is a leading provider of advanced solutions to the defense and intelligence communities. See Note 5, “Acquisition, Goodwill and Intangible Assets,” to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information related to the acquisition of EverWatch.

34

During the first and second quarters of fiscal 2024, we borrowed $500.0 million on our Revolving Credit Facility for our working capital needs, which was subsequently repaid in the second quarter of fiscal 2024.

On July 21, 2023, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with the United States of America, acting through the U.S. Department of Justice and on behalf of the Department of Defense and Defense Contract Management Agency (collectively the “United States”), and Relator Sarah A. Feinberg, to resolve the civil investigation related to certain elements of the Company’s cost accounting and indirect costs charging practices from April 1, 2011 through March 31, 2021. Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to pay to the United States $377.5 million, which the Company paid with cash on hand and by drawing on its revolving credit facility. See Note 15, “Commitments and Contingencies,” to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information related to the Settlement Agreement.

Cash Flows

Cash received from clients, either from the payment of invoices for work performed or for advances in excess of costs incurred, is our primary source of cash. We generally do not begin work on contracts until funding is appropriated by the client. Billing timetables and payment terms on our contracts vary based on a number of factors, including whether the contract type is cost-reimbursable, time-and-materials, or fixed-price. We generally bill and collect cash more frequently under cost-reimbursable and time-and-materials contracts, as we are authorized to bill as the costs are incurred or work is performed. In contrast, we may be limited to bill certain fixed-price contracts only when specified milestones, including deliveries, are achieved. In addition, a number of our contracts may provide for performance-based payments, which allow us to bill and collect cash prior to completing the work.

Accounts receivable is the principal component of our working capital and is generally driven by revenue growth with other short-term fluctuations related to the payment practices of our clients. Our accounts receivable reflects amounts billed to our clients as of each balance sheet date. Our clients generally pay our invoices within 30 days of the invoice date, although we experience a longer billing and collection cycle with our global commercial customers. At any month-end, we also include in accounts receivable the revenue that was recognized in the preceding month, which is generally billed early in the following month. Finally, we include in accounts receivable amounts related to revenue accrued in excess of amounts billed, primarily on our fixed-price and cost-reimbursable-plus-award-fee contracts. The total amount of our accounts receivable can vary significantly over time, but is generally sensitive to revenue levels and customer mix.

Operating Cash Flow

Net cash provided by operations is primarily affected by the overall profitability of our contracts, our ability to invoice and collect cash from clients in a timely manner, our ability to manage our vendor payments and the timing of cash paid for income taxes. Continued uncertainty in global economic conditions may also affect our business as customers and suppliers may decide to downsize, defer, or cancel contracts, which could negatively affect the operating cash flows. Net cash used in operations was $118.9 million for the six months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $227.1 million in the prior year period. Operating cash was aided by strong collection performance and overall revenue growth but was impacted by a $377.5 million outflow related to the U.S. Department of Justice matter noted above.

Beginning in fiscal 2023, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 eliminates the option to deduct research and development expenditures immediately in the year incurred and requires taxpayers to amortize such expenditures over five years for U.S. based research and development. This provision negatively impacted our fiscal 2023 cash from operations, but had an offsetting impact on the deferred tax asset. The Company expects a similar impact in fiscal 2024, although the impact to cash and deferred taxes is expected to be smaller than in fiscal 2023. Prospectively, 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). While the largest impact will be to fiscal 2023 cash from operations, the impact would continue over the five year amortization period, but would decrease over the period and is expected to be immaterial in year six.

Investing Cash Flow

Net cash used in investing activities was $37.0 million in the six months ended September 30, 2023 compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $14.3 million in the prior year period. The increase to investing cash used was primarily due to proceeds from the MENA divestiture in the prior year, partially offset by increases in cost method investments made by the Company in the current year.

35

Financing Cash Flow

Net cash provided by financing activities was $308.4 million in the six months ended September 30, 2023 compared to net cash used in financing activities of $180.8 million in the prior year period. The increase in net cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to an increase in net proceeds of $600.8 million associated with the Company’s debt transactions year over year, partially offset by an increase of $105.9 million in share repurchases and $9.2 million in cash paid for dividends year over year.

Dividends and Share Repurchases

On October 27, 2023, the Company announced a regular quarterly cash dividend in the amount of $0.47 per share. The quarterly dividend is payable on December 4, 2023 to stockholders of record on November 15, 2023.

During the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, quarterly cash dividends of $0.47 and $0.94 per share, respectively, were declared and paid totaling $62.1 million and $125.1 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended September 30, 2022, quarterly cash dividends of $0.43 and $0.86 per share, respectively, were declared and paid totaling $57.0 million and $115.9 million, respectively.

On December 12, 2011, the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program, which was most recently increased by $400.0 million to $2,560.0 million on July 27, 2022. The Company may repurchase shares pursuant to the program by means of open market repurchases, directly negotiated repurchases or through agents acting pursuant to negotiated repurchase agreements. During the first six months of fiscal 2024, the Company purchased 1.7 million shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock for an aggregate of $180.1 million. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had approximately $675.9 million remaining under the repurchase program.

Any determination to pursue one or more of the above alternative uses for excess cash is subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors, and will depend upon various factors, including our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity requirements, restrictions that may be imposed by applicable law, our contracts, and our Credit Agreement as amended and other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors.

(“Booz Allen Hamilton”), Booz Allen Hamilton Investor Corporation (“Investor”), and certain wholly owned subsidiaries of Booz Allen Hamilton are parties to a Credit Agreement dated as of July 31, 2012, as amended (the “Credit Agreement”), with certain institutional lenders and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and Issuing Lender. As of September 30, 2023, the Credit Agreement provided Booz Allen Hamilton with a $1,608.8 million Term Loan A (“Term Loan A”) and a $1.0 billion revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), with a sub-limit for letters of credit of $200.0 million. As of September 30, 2023, the maturity date of the Term Loan A and the Revolving Commitments is September 7, 2027. Voluntary prepayments of the Term Loan A and the Revolving Loans are permitted at any time, in minimum principal amounts, without premium or penalty. Booz Allen Hamilton’s obligations and the guarantors’ guarantees under the Credit Agreement were secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the assets (including capital stock of subsidiaries) of Booz Allen Hamilton, Investor and the subsidiary guarantors, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Credit Agreement and related documentation; such security was released in connection with Booz Allen Hamilton obtaining investment grade ratings from both Moody's and S&P. On September 7, 2022 (the “Ninth Amendment Effective Date”), the previously outstanding Term Loan B loans under the Credit Agreement were prepaid in full.

On July 27, 2023 (the “Tenth Amendment Effective Date”), Booz Allen Hamilton entered into a Tenth Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement (as amended prior to the Tenth Amendment Effective Date, the “Existing Credit Agreement” and, as amended by the Amendment, the “Amended Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), and the lenders and other financial institutions party thereto, in order to make permanent certain changes to the Existing Credit Agreement in connection with Booz Allen Hamilton obtaining investment grade ratings from both Moody's and S&P and prepaying the Term Loan B loans in full and to make certain additional changes in connection therewith, including, among other things, (i) removing the requirements for the obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement to be secured, (ii) removing the requirement for any subsidiary or other affiliate of Booz Allen Hamilton (other than the Company) to provide any guarantee of the obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement and (iii) removing or modifying certain covenants applicable to Booz Allen Hamilton. Pursuant to the Amendment, all guarantees in respect of the Existing Credit Agreement have been released. The Amendment did not impact any of the terms of the Credit Agreement related to amortization or payments.

On the Tenth Amendment Effective Date in connection with the Amendment, the Company entered into a Guarantee Agreement (the “Guarantee Agreement”) in favor of the Administrative Agent, pursuant to which the Company guarantees on an unsecured basis the obligations of Booz Allen Hamilton under the Amended Credit Agreement subject to certain conditions. Pursuant to the Amended Credit Agreement Booz Allen Hamilton has the option, though not any obligation, to join one or more of its domestic subsidiaries as a guarantor under the Guarantee Agreement.

The Term Loan A amortizes in consecutive quarterly installments in an amount equal to (i) on the last business day of each full fiscal quarter that begins after the Ninth Amendment Effective Date but on or before the two year anniversary of the Ninth Amendment Effective Date, 0.625% of the stated principal amount of the Term Loan A and (ii) on the last business day of each full fiscal quarter that begins after the two year anniversary of the Ninth Amendment Effective Date but before the five year anniversary of the Ninth Amendment Effective Date, 1.25% of the stated principal amount of the Term Loan A. The remaining balance of the Term Loan A will be payable upon maturity.

The rate at which the Term Loan A and the Revolving Loans bear interest is based, at Booz Allen Hamilton’s option, either on Term SOFR (subject to a 0.10% adjustment and a floor of zero) for the applicable interest period or a base rate (equal to the highest of (i) the administrative agent’s prime corporate rate, (ii) the overnight federal funds rate plus 0.50% and (iii) three-month Term SOFR (subject to a 0.10% adjustment and a floor of zero) plus 1.00%), in each case plus an applicable margin, payable at the end of the applicable interest period and in any event at least quarterly. The applicable margin for the Term Loan A and the Revolving Loans ranges from 1.00% to 2.00% for Term SOFR loans and zero to 1.00% for base rate loans, in each case based on the lower of (i) the applicable rate per annum determined pursuant to a consolidated total net leverage ratio grid and (ii) the applicable rate per annum determined pursuant to a ratings grid. Unused Revolving Commitments are subject to a quarterly fee ranging from 0.10% to 0.35% based on the lower of (i) the applicable fee rate per annum determined pursuant to a consolidated total net leverage ratio grid and (ii) the applicable fee rate per annum determined pursuant to a ratings grid. Booz Allen Hamilton has also agreed to pay customary letter of credit and agency fees.

As of September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, the Company was contingently liable under open standby letters of credit and bank guarantees issued by our banks in favor of third parties that totaled $4.4 million and $6.1 million, respectively. These letters of credit and bank guarantees primarily support insurance and bid and performance obligations. At both September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, approximately $1.3 million of these instruments reduced the available borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. The remainder is guaranteed under a separate $7.5 million facility of which $4.4 million and $2.7 million were available to the Company at September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively.

The Company occasionally borrows under the Revolving Credit Facility for our working capital needs. As of March 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023, respectively, there was no outstanding balance on the Revolving Credit Facility.

The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and customary affirmative and negative covenants. In addition, Booz Allen Hamilton is required to meet a financial covenant at each quarter end based on a consolidated net total leverage ratio. As of September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, Booz Allen Hamilton was in compliance with all financial covenants associated with its debt and debt-like instruments. In connection with Booz Allen Hamilton obtaining investment grade ratings from both Moody's and S&P, activities restricted by certain negative covenants are permitted subject to pro forma compliance with the financial covenants and no events of default having occurred and continuing.

The following table summarizes interest payments made on the Company’s term loans:

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Six Months Ended September 30,
	2023		2022		2023		2022
Term Loan A	$	27,007	$	7,846	$	53,098	$	14,165
Term Loan B	—		2,793		—		5,209
Total	$	27,007	$	10,639	$	53,098	$	19,374

Borrowings under the Term Loan A, and if used, the Revolving Credit Facility, incur interest at a variable rate. As of September 30, 2023, Booz Allen Hamilton had interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $550.0 million. These instruments hedge the variability of cash outflows for interest payments on the Term Loans and Revolving Credit Facility. The Company's objectives in using cash flow hedges are to reduce volatility due to interest rate movements and to add stability to interest expense (See Note 9, “Derivatives,” to our condensed consolidated financial statements).

The Indenture contains certain covenants, events of default, and other customary provisions. The Senior Notes due 2033 are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured and unsubordinated basis by the Company, pursuant to the Indenture.

Capital Structure and Resources

Our stockholders’ equity amounted to $1,072.1 million as of September 30, 2023, an increase of $80.1 million, compared to stockholders’ equity of $992.0 million as of March 31, 2023. The increase was primarily due to net income of $332.1 million and stock-based compensation expense of $37.5 million during the six months ended September 30, 2023, partially offset by $194.5 million in treasury stock resulting from the repurchase of shares of our Class A Common Stock, and $124.6 million in quarterly dividend payments for the six months ended September 30, 2023.

Capital Expenditures

Since we do not own any of our facilities, our capital expenditure requirements primarily relate to the purchase of computers, management systems, furniture, and leasehold improvements to support our operations. Direct facility and equipment costs billed to clients are not treated as capital expenses. Our capital expenditures for the six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were $27.4 million and $29.7 million, respectively.

Commitments and Contingencies

We are subject to a number of reviews, investigations, claims, lawsuits, and other uncertainties related to our business. For a discussion of these items, refer to Note 15, “Commitments and Contingencies,” to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

During the first quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company modified its interest rate swap agreements to transition from LIBOR-indexed to term SOFR-indexed periodic swap payments to align with interest payments in connection with its term SOFR-indexed debt. See Note 9, “Derivatives,” to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information on the interest rate swap agreements.

There have been no material changes during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to the information disclosed in the Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk section in Part II, “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 26, 2023.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION 

Item 1.    Legal Proceedings

Our performance under U.S. government contracts and compliance with the terms of those contracts and applicable laws and regulations are subject to continuous audit, review, and investigation by the U.S. government which may include such investigative techniques as subpoenas or civil investigative demands. Given the nature of our business, these audits, reviews, and investigations may focus, among other areas, on various aspects of procurement integrity, labor time reporting, sensitive and/or classified information access and control, executive compensation, and post government employment restrictions. We are not always aware of our status in such matters, but we are currently aware of certain pending audits and investigations involving labor time reporting, procurement integrity, and classified information access. In addition, from time to time, we are also involved in legal proceedings and investigations arising in the ordinary course of business, including those relating to employment matters, relationships with clients and contractors, intellectual property disputes, and other business matters. These legal proceedings seek various remedies, including claims for monetary damages in varying amounts, none of which are considered material, or are unspecified as to amount. Although the outcome of any such matter is inherently uncertain and may be materially adverse, based on current information, we do not expect any of the currently ongoing audits, reviews, investigations, or litigation to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. As of September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, there were no material amounts accrued in the condensed consolidated financial statements related to these proceedings.

On June 7, 2017, Booz Allen Hamilton was informed that the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) was conducting a civil and criminal investigation of the Company. In connection with the investigation, the DOJ requested information from the Company relating to certain elements of the Company’s cost accounting and indirect cost charging practices with the U.S. government. The investigation resulted from a qui tam lawsuit filed on or about September 26, 2016 in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia pursuant to the qui tam provisions of the civil False Claims Act (the “Civil Action”), which lawsuit was under judicial seal until July 21, 2023. After learning of the investigation, the Company engaged a law firm experienced in these matters to represent the Company in connection with this matter and respond to the government's requests. As is commonly the case with this type of matter, the Company was also contacted by other regulatory agencies and bodies, including the SEC, which notified the Company that it was conducting an investigation that the Company believes related to the matters that were also the subject of the DOJ's investigation.

On May 12, 2021, the Company was informed that the DOJ closed its criminal investigation.

On July 21, 2023, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with the United States of America, acting through the DOJ and on behalf of the Department of Defense and Defense Contract Management Agency (collectively the “United States”), and Relator Sarah A. Feinberg, to resolve the DOJ’s civil investigation and the Civil Action. The Company entered into the Settlement Agreement to avoid the delay, uncertainty and expense of protracted litigation. The Settlement Agreement contains no admission of liability by the Company.

Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to pay to the United States $377.5 million (the “Settlement Amount”). The Company paid the Settlement Amount with cash on hand and by drawing on its revolving credit facility. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had recorded a $377.5 million reserve relating to this investigation and had previously disclosed that it believed the range of reasonably possible loss in connection with the investigation to be between $350 million and $378 million. Following the United States’ receipt of the Settlement Amount, the Company was released from any civil or administrative monetary claims under the civil False Claims Act and other specified civil statutes and common law theories of liability for certain elements of the Company’s cost accounting and indirect cost charging practices from April 1, 2011 through March 31, 2021, and the claim brought in the Civil Action was dismissed with prejudice.

On July 27, 2023, the Company was informed that the SEC concluded its investigation without recommending an enforcement action.

On June 19, 2017, a purported stockholder of the Company filed a putative class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia styled Langley v. Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corp., No. 17-cv-00696 naming the Company, its Chief Executive Officer, and its Chief Financial Officer as defendants purportedly on behalf of all purchasers of the Company’s securities from May 19, 2016 through June 15, 2017. On September 5, 2017, the court named two lead plaintiffs, and on October 20, 2017, the lead plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, alleging misrepresentations or omissions by the Company purporting to relate to matters that are the subject of the DOJ investigation described above. The plaintiffs seek to recover from the Company and the individual defendants an unspecified amount of damages. The Company believes the suit lacks merit and intends to defend against the lawsuit. Motions to dismiss were argued on January 12, 2018, and on February 8, 2018, the court dismissed the amended complaint in its entirety without prejudice. On September 22, 2023, plaintiffs filed a motion for leave to amend the dismissed amended complaint or, in the alternative, for relief from the court’s prior dismissal order, and on October 16, 2023, the court denied plaintiffs’ motion. At this stage of the

42

lawsuit, the Company is not able to reasonably estimate the expected amount or range of cost or any loss associated with the lawsuit.

On November 13, 2017, a Verified Shareholder Derivative Complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware styled Celine Thum v. Rozanski et al., C.A. No. 17-cv-01638, naming the Company as a nominal defendant and numerous current and former officers and directors as defendants. The complaint asserts claims for breach of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, waste of corporate assets, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, and violations of Sections 14(a), 10(b), and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, purportedly relating to matters that are the subject of the DOJ investigation described above. The parties have stipulated to a stay of the proceedings pending the outcome of the securities litigation (described above), which the court so ordered on January 24, 2018. On December 12, 2019, the court ordered that the stay remain in effect and ordered the parties to submit periodic status reports. Starting on May 27, 2020, the parties have submitted periodic status reports as ordered by the court stating that plaintiff believes the stay should remain in effect and defendants do not object to the stay remaining in effect. At this stage of the lawsuit, the Company is not able to reasonably estimate the expected amount or range of cost or any loss associated with the lawsuit.

APPENDIX A TO RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

1.Grant of Restricted Stock Units. Subject to the terms, conditions, and restrictions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement (including the Grant Notice and any special terms and conditions applicable to the Participant’s country set forth in Appendix B to this Agreement), the Company hereby evidences and confirms its grant to the Participant, effective as of the Grant Date, of the number of Restricted Stock Units specified in the Grant Notice. The Participant hereby agrees that, except as required or permitted by Applicable Law, he or she will not disclose to any Person other than the Participant’s spouse and/or tax or financial advisor (if any) the grant of the Restricted Stock Units or any of the terms or provisions hereof without prior approval from the Administrator.

2.Restricted Stock Units Subject to Plan. This Agreement is subordinate to, and the terms and conditions of the Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder are subject to, the terms and conditions of the Plan, which are incorporated by reference herein. If there is any inconsistency between the terms hereof and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall govern.

3.Vesting of Restricted Stock Units.

(a)Vesting. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3, the Restricted Stock Units shall become vested in the amount(s) and on the vesting date(s) as set forth in Exhibit A (each, a “Vesting Date”), subject to the continued employment of the Participant with the Company or any Subsidiary thereof through such applicable Vesting Date.

(b)Termination of Employment or Service.

(i)Termination Due to Death. If a Participant’s employment or service terminates due to the Participant’s death, all unvested Restricted Stock Units shall immediately vest.

(ii)Termination Due to Disability. If a Participant’s employment or service terminates due to Disability, all unvested Restricted Stock Units shall not be forfeited upon such termination and instead shall continue to vest in accordance with Section 3(a) of this Agreement.

(iii)Termination for Cause. If a Participant’s employment or service terminates for Cause, all unvested Restricted Stock Units shall be immediately forfeited and canceled, effective as of the date of the Participant’s termination of service. In addition, any Restricted Stock Units that vested during the twenty-four (24) months prior to or any time after the Participant engaged in the conduct that gave rise to the termination for Cause (and any stock or cash issued in settlement of such Restricted Stock Units) shall upon demand by the Administrator be immediately forfeited and disgorged or paid to the Company together with all gains earned or accrued due to the sale of Company Common Stock issued in settlement of any Restricted Stock Units.

(iv)Termination for Any Other Reason. If a Participant’s employment is terminated for any reason other than death, Disability or by the Company or Employer for Cause, all unvested Restricted Stock Units shall immediately be forfeited and canceled, effective as of the date of the Participant’s termination of service.

(c)Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control prior to the applicable Vesting Date, notwithstanding anything in Article XIII of the Plan to the contrary, any unvested Restricted Stock Units shall remain outstanding and shall vest on the applicable Vesting Date, subject to the continued employment or service of the Participant with the Company, the Employer or any other Subsidiary through such date; provided, that, if the Participant’s employment or service is terminated by the Company or the Employer without Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason (each, a “Qualifying CIC Termination”) within two (2) years following the effective date of the Change in Control, such

2

outstanding Restricted Stock Units shall vest as of the date of such Qualifying CIC Termination. Vested Restricted Stock Units shall be settled as set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement.

(d)Other Forfeiture Provisions. Subject to Section 11.4 of the Plan, the Restricted Stock Units (including any gains earned or accrued due to the sale of Company Common Stock issued in settlement of such Restricted Stock Units) shall also be forfeited and subject to disgorgement and/or repayment to the Company (i) in the event the Participant (x) engages in or fails to prevent, as applicable, any financial or other misconduct (including but not limited to engaging in Competitive Activity (but excluding, only if the Participant is located in California, clause (a) of the definition of Competitive Activity contained in the Plan)) or (y) materially violates any restrictive covenant agreement (or any other agreement containing restrictive covenants) that the Participant has entered into with the Company, (ii) as required by Applicable Law or regulations or (iii) as otherwise provided in Section 11.4 of the Plan or generally applicable Company policies as to forfeiture, disgorgement and recoupment of Awards, including but not limited to any clawback policy adopted to comply with Section 303A.14 of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual.

(e)Administrator Discretion. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, subject to Article XII of the Plan, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may waive forfeiture provisions or accelerate the vesting with respect to any Restricted Stock Units under this Agreement, at such times and upon such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall determine; provided, however, that such waiver or acceleration of vesting shall not change the settlement date of the Restricted Stock Units provided in Section 4 of this Agreement.

(f)Post-Termination Informational Requirements. Before the settlement of any Restricted Stock Units following termination of employment or service, the Administrator may require the Participant (or the Participant’s Eligible Representative, if applicable) to make such representations and provide such documents as the Administrator deems necessary or advisable to effect compliance with Applicable Law and determine whether Section 3(b)(iii) or Section 3(d) of this Agreement apply. Such representations and documents may include tax returns and all other relevant information and records from which the Administrator can determine the current or former employment status of the Participant during the vesting period. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units may be withheld until information deemed sufficient by the Administrator is delivered to it, and any unvested Restricted Stock Units shall be forfeited if the requested information is not provided in sufficient detail to the Administrator before the earlier of (i) ninety (90) calendar days after the issuance of a request from the Administrator for such information and (ii) December 31 of the calendar year in which the applicable Vesting Date occurs.

4.Settlement of Restricted Stock Units. Subject to Section 3(f) and Section 9 of this Agreement, the Company shall deliver to the Participant one (1) Share (or the value thereof) in settlement of each outstanding Restricted Stock Unit granted hereunder that has vested as provided in Section 3 on the first to occur of (i) the applicable Vesting Date (or within thirty (30) days thereafter), (ii) in the event of a termination of employment or service due to death, as soon as practicable following the Participant’s termination of employment or service by reason of death or (iii) in the event of a Qualifying CIC Termination, within thirty (30) days following the effective date of the Participant’s Qualifying CIC Termination, in each case (A) in Company Common Stock by either, (x) issuing one or more certificates evidencing the Company Common Stock to the Participant or (y) registering the issuance of the Company Common Stock in the name of the Participant through a book entry credit in the records of the Company’s transfer agent, or (B) in the event of settlement upon a Change in Control, a cash payment equal to the Change in Control Price, multiplied by the number of vested Restricted Stock Units. No fractional Shares shall be issued in settlement of the Restricted Stock Units. Fractional Shares shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share; provided, that the Participant may not vest in more than the number of Restricted Stock Units specified in the Grant Notice.

3

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may provide for the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units in the form of Company Common Stock, but require the Participant to sell such Common Stock immediately or within a specified period following the Participant’s termination of service (in which case, the Participant hereby agrees that the Company shall have the authority to issue sale instructions in relation to such Common Stock on the Participant’s behalf).

5.Securities Law Compliance. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Participant may not sell the Shares acquired upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units unless such Shares are registered under the Securities Act, or, if such Shares are not then so registered, such sale would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The sale of such Shares must also comply with other Applicable Law and regulations governing the Shares, and the Participant may not sell the Shares if the Company determines that such sale would not be in material compliance with such laws and regulations.

6.Participant’s Rights with Respect to the Restricted Stock Units.

(a)Restrictions on Transferability. The Restricted Stock Units granted hereby are not assignable or transferable, in whole or in part, and may not, directly or indirectly, be offered, transferred, sold, pledged, assigned, alienated, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of or encumbered (including without limitation by gift, operation of law or otherwise) other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution to the estate of the Participant upon the Participant’s death; providedthat the deceased Participant’s beneficiary or representative of the Participant’s estate shall acknowledge and agree in writing, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company, to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan as if such beneficiary or the estate were the Participant.

(b)No Rights as Stockholder. The Participant shall not have any rights as a stockholder, including any voting, dividend or other rights or privileges as a stockholder of the Company with respect to Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units granted hereby unless and until such Shares are issued to the Participant in respect thereof.

(c)Dividend Equivalents. The Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder include the right for the Participant to be credited with Dividend Equivalents in the form of a right to a cash payment when cash dividends are paid on the Company Common Stock. Such cash payment shall equal the amount obtained by multiplying the amount of the dividend declared and paid for each Share by the number of Restricted Stock Units held by the Participant on the record date for such dividend. Any cash amounts in respect of the Dividend Equivalents credited to the Participant’s account shall be paid to the Participant on the applicable payment date for the related cash dividend, and shall be forfeited by the Participant if the Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder are forfeited pursuant to Section 3(b) or Section 3(d) of this Agreement.

7.Participant’s Representations, Warranties and Covenants.

(a)No Conflicts; No Consents. The execution and delivery by the Participant of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and the performance of the Participant’s obligations hereunder do not and will not (i) materially conflict with or result in a material violation or breach of any term or provision of any law applicable to either the Participant or the Restricted Stock Units or (ii) violate in any material respect, conflict with in any material respect or result in any material breach of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a material default under, or require the Participant to obtain any consent, approval or action of, make any filing with or give any notice to any Person as a result or under the terms of, any contract, agreement, instrument, commitment, arrangement or understanding to which the Participant is a party.

(b)Compliance with Rule 144. If any Shares issued in respect of the Restricted Stock Units are to be disposed of in accordance with Rule 144 of the Securities Act, the Participant shall transmit to

4

the Company an executed copy of Form 144 (if required by Rule 144) no later than the time such form is required to be transmitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission for filing and such other documentation as the Company may reasonably require to assure compliance with Rule 144 in connection with such disposition.

(c)Participant Status. The Participant represents and warrants that, as of the date hereof, the Participant is an officer or other Service Provider of the Company, the Employer or a Subsidiary.

8.Adjustment in Capitalization. Subject to Section 14.1 of the Plan, the number and kind of Shares subject to any outstanding Restricted Stock Units, or the other terms and conditions of any such Restricted Stock Units, shall be adjusted by the Administrator to reflect any stock dividend, stock split or share combination or any recapitalization, business combination, merger, consolidation, spin-off, exchange of shares, liquidation or dissolution of the Company or other similar transaction affecting the Company Common Stock in such manner as it determines in its sole discretion.

9.Tax Withholding. The Participant acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or the Employer with respect to any or all income tax (including U.S. federal, state and local taxes and/or non-U.S. taxes), social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Participant's participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Participant (“Tax-Related Items”), the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Participant’s personal responsibility and may exceed the amount, if any, actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. The Participant further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (a) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Participant’s participation in the Plan, including, but not limited to, the grant of the Restricted Stock Units, the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, the issuance or sale of Shares, or the receipt of any dividends or Dividend Equivalents; and (b) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the Restricted Stock Units or any aspect of the Plan to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Participant is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, the Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Participant agrees to make arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the Participant authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy their withholding obligations with regard to any Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following: (a) withholding from the Participant’s wages or other cash compensation payable to the Participant by the Company and/or the Employer, (b) withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares under the Plan, either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent) to cover the Tax-Related Items required to be withheld, and (c) withholding in Shares to be issued upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units.

If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, the Participant will be deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.

The Company or the Employer may defer the settlement of Restricted Stock Units until such withholding or other tax requirements are satisfied and if the Participant has not satisfied such withholding or other tax requirements as of the last day of the calendar year in which the Vesting Date occurs, the Restricted Stock Units shall be forfeited.

10.Nature of Grant. By accepting the Restricted Stock Units, the Participant acknowledges, understands and agrees that:

5

(a)the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be terminated, suspended or amended by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan;

(b)the grant of the Restricted Stock Units is voluntary and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future Restricted Stock Units or benefits in lieu of Restricted Stock Units, even if Restricted Stock Units have been granted in the past;

(c)all decisions with respect to future Restricted Stock Units or other grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Administrator;

(d)the grant of the Restricted Stock Units and the Participant’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to employment or be interpreted as forming an employment or service contract with the Company, the Employer or any other Subsidiary and shall not interfere with the ability of the Company, the Employer or any other Subsidiary to terminate the Participant’s employment relationship (if any);

(e)the Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan;

(f)the Restricted Stock Units and any Shares acquired pursuant to such Restricted Stock Units, and the income from and value of the same, are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

(g)the Restricted Stock Units and any Shares acquired pursuant to such Restricted Stock Units, and the income from and value of the same, are extraordinary items that do not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company, the Employer or any other Subsidiary, and which are outside the scope of the Participant’s employment and the Participant’s employment or service agreement, if any;

(h)the Restricted Stock Units and any Shares acquired pursuant to such Restricted Stock Units, and the income from and value of the same, are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose, including, without limitation, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, holiday pay, bonuses, long-service awards, leave-related payments, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar mandatory payments;

(i)the future value of the Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty and the value of such Shares may increase or decrease in the future;

(j)no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Restricted Stock Units or recoupment of any gains earned or accrued due to the sale of Shares acquired in settlement of such Restricted Stock Units resulting from, but not limited to, the (1) termination of the Participant’s employment (regardless of the reason for the termination and whether or not the termination is later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Participant is employed or the terms of the Participant’s employment or service agreement, if any) and/or (2) application of any Applicable Law or regulations, or any recoupment policy or any recovery or clawback policy maintained by the Company or otherwise required by Applicable Law; and

(k)neither the Company, the Employer nor any other Subsidiary shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Participant’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Shares or any amounts due pursuant to the issuance of the Shares, or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired pursuant to the Restricted Stock Units.

11.Employee Data Privacy. The collection, use, disclosure and transfer, in electronic or other form, of personally identifiable information to facilitate the grant of the Restricted Stock Units and

6

the administration of the Plan by and among, as applicable, the Company and the Employer, if different, any of the Company’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or any agent of the Company administering or providing Plan services is governed by the Employee Privacy Notice (the “Privacy Notice”) that Participant received in the course of his or her relationship with Company. The Participant understands that he or she may review the Privacy Notice or contact his or her local human resources representative to request a copy of the Privacy Notice. Please contact ethics@bah.com if the Participant has any questions or concerns about how the Company or its Subsidiaries and Affiliates process personally identifiable information.

12.Miscellaneous.

(a)Binding Effect; Benefits. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and assigns. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended or shall be construed to give any Person other than the parties to this Agreement or their respective successors or assigns any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of any agreement or any provision contained herein.

(b)No Advice Regarding Grant. The Participant acknowledges that neither the Company nor the Employer are providing any tax, legal or financial advice, or making any recommendations regarding the Participant’s participation in the Plan. The Participant should consult his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding the Participant’s participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.

(c)Interpretation. For purposes of this Agreement, if the Participant is not employed by the Company, “Employer” means the Subsidiary that employs the Participant. This Agreement and the Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder are subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, which are incorporated by reference herein. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan, the Plan shall govern. The Administrator, acting pursuant to the Plan, as constituted from time to time, shall, except as expressly provided otherwise herein, have the right to determine reasonably and in good faith any questions that arise in connection with this Agreement, and any such determination shall be final, binding and conclusive on all Participants and other individuals claiming any right under the Plan. The failure of the Company or the Participant to insist upon strict performance of any provision hereunder, irrespective of the length of time for which such failure continues, shall not be deemed a waiver of such party’s right to demand strict performance at any time in the future. No consent or waiver, express or implied, to or of any breach or default in the performance of any obligation or provision hereunder shall constitute a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance of the same or any other obligation hereunder.

(d)Country-Specific Provisions. The Participant’s participation in the Plan shall be subject to any special terms and conditions set forth in Appendix B attached hereto applicable to the Participant’s country. Moreover, if the Participant relocates to one of the countries included in Appendix B, the special terms and conditions applicable to such country will apply to the Participant, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons. Appendix B constitutes a part of this Agreement.

(e)Other Requirements. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Participant’s participation in the Plan and on any Shares acquired in settlement of the Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require the Participant to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

(f)Applicable Law. The Participant acknowledges that the Company is organized under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Participant and the Company agree that this Agreement shall be

7

construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without reference to principles of conflict of laws that would apply the laws of any other jurisdiction.

(g)Forum Selection. The Participant acknowledges that the Company’s principal place of business is in, and a substantial portion of the Company’s business is based out of, the Commonwealth of Virginia. The Participant also acknowledges that, as such, during the course of the Participant’s service with the Company, the Employer or any other Subsidiary, the Participant shall have substantial contacts with the Commonwealth of Virginia. Accordingly, the Participant and the Company agree that the exclusive forum for any action, demand, claim or counterclaim relating to the terms and provisions of this Agreement, or to their breach, shall be in the appropriate state or federal court located in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The Participant and the Company hereby consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts over the parties to this Agreement. The Participant expressly waives any defense that such courts lack personal jurisdiction or are inconvenient. The Participant and the Company further agree that in any such action for breach or enforcement of this Agreement, no party will seek to challenge the validity or enforceability of any part of this Agreement.

(h)Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented orally, but only by a written instrument executed by the Participant and the Company.

(i)Assignability. Neither this Agreement nor any right, remedy, obligation or liability arising hereunder or by reason hereof shall be assignable by the Company or the Participant without the prior written consent of the other party, providedthat the Company may assign all or any portion of its rights or obligations under this Agreement to one or more Persons or other entities designated by it.

(j)Severability; Blue Pencil. In the event that any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall be or become invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not be affected thereby.

(k)Consent to Electronic Delivery. By entering into this Agreement and accepting the Restricted Stock Units evidenced hereby, Participant hereby consents to the delivery of information (including, without limitation, information required to be delivered to the Participant pursuant to applicable securities laws) regarding the Company and the Subsidiaries, the Plan, this Agreement and the Restricted Stock Units via the Company’s website, the Fidelity NetBenefits website or any other online access system of the Company’s third-party Plan administrator, email or other form of electronic delivery.

(l)Section 409A of the Code. This Agreement is intended to be administered in a manner consistent with the requirements, where applicable, of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A”). Where reasonably practicable, the Agreement shall be administered in a manner to avoid the imposition on the Participant of immediate tax recognition and additional taxes pursuant to Section 409A. In addition, to the extent permissible under Section 409A, any series of installment payments under this Agreement shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not have any liability to any Person in the event Section 409A applies to any payment hereunder in a manner that results in adverse tax consequences to the Participant or any of the Participant’s beneficiaries.

(m)Specified Employee Delay. Subject to Section 14.13 of the Plan, if the Participant is deemed a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A, as determined by the Administrator, at a time when the Participant becomes eligible for settlement of the Restricted Stock Units upon his or her “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A, then to the extent necessary to comply with, and avoid the imposition on the Participant of any accelerated or additional tax, under Section 409A, such settlement will be delayed until the earlier of (a) the six (6)-month anniversary of the Participant’s termination of service and (b) the Participant’s death. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if settlement is to occur upon a termination of service other than due to death or Disability and the Participant is a specified employee, to the extent necessary to comply with, and

8

avoid imposition on the Participant of any additional tax or interest imposed under, Section 409A, settlement shall instead occur on the first business day following the six (6)-month anniversary of the Participant’s termination of service (or, if earlier, upon the Participant’s death), or as soon thereafter as practicable (but no later than ninety (90) days thereafter).

(n)Headings and Captions. The section and other headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

(o)Notices. All notices under this Agreement shall be (i) delivered by hand, (ii) sent by commercial overnight courier service, (iii) sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, and first-class postage prepaid, (iv) sent by e-mail or any other form of electronic transfer or delivery approved by the Administrator, or (v) faxed, in each case to the parties at their respective addresses and facsimile numbers set forth in the records of the Company or at such other address or facsimile number as may be designated in a notice by either party to the other.

(p)Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

1.Grant of Restricted Stock Units. Subject to the terms, conditions, and restrictions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement (including the Grant Notice and any special terms and conditions applicable to the Participant’s country set forth in Appendix B to this Agreement), the Company hereby evidences and confirms its grant to the Participant, effective as of the Grant Date, of the Restricted Stock Units specified in the Grant Notice.

Except as otherwise provided in Section 3 below, the number of Restricted Stock Units that the Participant shall actually earn for the Performance Period (up to the maximum specified in the Grant Notice) will be determined by the Administrator based on the level of achievement of the performance goals specified in Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Performance Goals”). The Participant hereby agrees that, except as required or permitted by Applicable Law, the Participant will not disclose to any Person other than the Participant’s spouse and/or tax or financial advisor (if any) the grant of the Restricted Stock Units or any of the terms or provisions hereof without prior approval from the Administrator.

2.Restricted Stock Units Subject to Plan. This Agreement is subordinate to, and the terms and conditions of the Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder are subject to, the terms and conditions of the Plan, which are incorporated by reference herein. If there is any inconsistency between the terms hereof and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall govern. Any capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan.

3.Vesting of Restricted Stock Units.

(a)Vesting. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Performance Period” shall mean the period set forth in Exhibit A. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3, the Restricted Stock Units shall become vested as of the vesting date specified in Exhibit A (the “Vesting Date”), subject to the continued employment or service of the Participant with the Company or any Subsidiary thereof through the Vesting Date, and to the achievement of the Performance Goals set forth in Exhibit A for the Performance Period as determined by the Administrator pursuant to Section 4(a) of this Agreement. Restricted Stock Units that do not vest in accordance with this Section 3 shall be forfeited.

(b)Termination of Employment or Service.

(i)Termination Due to Death. If a Participant’s employment or service terminates due to the Participant’s death prior to the Vesting Date, all unvested Restricted Stock Units shall vest on the effective date of such termination of employment or service at Target Award levels (as specified on Exhibit A attached hereto). Vested Restricted Stock Units shall be settled as set forth in Section 4.

(ii)Termination by Reason of Disability. If a Participant’s employment or service terminates prior to the Vesting Date by reason of the Participant’s Disability, all unvested Restricted Stock Units shall vest as of the Vesting Date in a pro rata amount of the Restricted Stock Units that would have been earned and vested in accordance with Section 3(a) based on actual achievement of the Performance Goals as if the Participant’s employment or service had not terminated, with such amount prorated for the portion of the Performance Period that lapsed prior to the Participant’s termination of employment or service; provided, that, any “transition period” (within the meaning of the Company’s Transition Policy, as may be amended from time to time) shall not be considered a period of employment or service for purposes of calculating the pro rata amount. Vested Restricted Stock Units shall be settled as set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement.

(iii)Termination by Reason of Retirement. (A) If a Participant’s employment or service terminates prior to the Vesting Date by reason of a Participant’s Qualifying Permanent Retirement (as defined below), provided that such termination occurs on or after March 31 (or if March 31 is not a business day, the last business day prior to March 31) of the first fiscal year of the Performance Period, the unvested Restricted Stock Units shall vest in accordance with Section 3(a) based on actual achievement of the Performance Goals as if the Participant’s employment or service had not terminated; (B) if a Participant’s employment or service terminates prior to March 31 (or if March 31 is not a business

2

day, the last business day prior to March 31) of the first fiscal year of the Performance Period by reason of a Participant’s retirement (notwithstanding that such retirement may otherwise qualify as a Qualifying Permanent Retirement), all unvested Restricted Stock Units shall immediately be forfeited as of the termination date; and (C) if a Participant’s employment or service terminates at any point prior to the Vesting Date by reason of a Participant’s retirement that at any point during the Performance Period does not constitute a Qualifying Permanent Retirement, all unvested Restricted Stock Units shall immediately be forfeited as of the termination date or, if later, the date such retirement does not constitute a Qualifying Permanent Retirement. Vested Restricted Stock Units shall be settled as set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement. “Qualifying Permanent Retirement” means a termination of the Participant’s employment or service by reason of a retirement (I) in accordance with the applicable Company retirement policy (as may be amended from time to time) and (II) that is a permanent retirement from all current and future employment, including but not limited to self-employment, unless such employment is approved by the Company in writing in advance of the Participant commencing such employment.

(iv)Termination for Cause. If a Participant’s employment or service terminates for Cause, all unvested Restricted Stock Units shall be immediately forfeited and canceled, effective as of the date of the Participant’s termination of service. In addition, any Restricted Stock Units that vested during the twenty-four (24) months prior to or any time after the Participant engaged in the conduct that gave rise to the termination for Cause (and any stock or cash issued to the Participant in settlement of such Restricted Stock Units) shall upon demand by the Administrator be immediately forfeited and disgorged or paid to the Company together with all gains earned or accrued due to the sale of Company Common Stock issued in settlement of any Restricted Stock Units.

Vested Restricted Stock Units shall be settled as set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement.

Subject to Section 11.4 of the Plan, the Restricted Stock Units (including any gains earned or accrued due to the sale of Company Common Stock issued in settlement of such Restricted Stock Units) shall also be forfeited and subject to disgorgement and/or repayment to the Company (i) in the event the Participant (x) engages in or fails to prevent, as applicable, any financial or other misconduct (including but not limited to engaging in Competitive Activity (but excluding, only if the Participant is located in California, clause (a) of the definition of Competitive Activity contained in the Plan)) or (y) materially violates any restrictive covenant agreement (or any other agreement containing restrictive covenants) that the Participant has entered into with the Company, (ii) as required by Applicable Law or regulations or (iii) as otherwise provided in Section 11.4 of the Plan or generally applicable Company policies as to forfeiture, disgorgement and recoupment of Awards, including but not limited to any clawback policy adopted to comply with Section 303A.14 of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual.

Before the settlement of any Restricted Stock Units following termination of employment or service, the Administrator may require the Participant (or the Participant’s Eligible Representative, if applicable) to make such representations and provide such documents as the Administrator deems necessary or advisable to effect compliance with Applicable Law and determine whether Section 3(b)(iii), 3(b)(iv) or 3(d) of this Agreement apply. Such representations and documents may include tax returns and all other relevant information and records from which the Administrator can determine the current or former employment status of the Participant during the Performance Period. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units may be withheld until information deemed sufficient by the Administrator is delivered to it, and any unvested Restricted Stock Units shall be forfeited if the requested information is not provided in sufficient detail to the Administrator before the earlier of (i) ninety (90) calendar days after the issuance of a request from the Administrator for such information and (ii) December 31 of the calendar year in which the Vesting Date occurs.

4.Administrator Certification; Settlement of Restricted Stock Units.

(a)Certification. As soon as practicable following completion of the Performance Period, the Administrator will review and determine (i) whether, and to what extent, the Performance Goals for the Performance Period have been achieved, in whole or in part, and (ii) the number of Restricted Stock Units that the Participant shall earn, if any, subject to compliance with the requirements of Section 3 (the “Administrator Certification”). All determinations of whether the Performance Goals have been achieved, the number of Restricted Stock Units earned by the Participant, and all other matters related to this Section 4(a) shall be made by the Administrator in its sole discretion and shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Participant.

(b)Settlement of Restricted Stock Units. Subject to Section 3(f),Section 4(a) and Section Sections 9 of this Agreement, the Company shall deliver to the Participant one (1) Share (or the value thereof) in settlement of each Restricted Stock Unit granted hereunder that has become earned and vested as provided in Section 3 on the first to occur of the following: (i) on or as soon as practicable following the date of the Administrator Certification (but in no event later than 2½ months after the Vesting Date); (ii) in the event of a termination of employment or service due to death, as soon as practicable following the Participant’s termination of employment or service by reason of death; or (iii) in the event of a Qualifying CIC Termination, within thirty (30) days following the effective date of the Participant’s Qualifying CIC Termination, in each case (A) in Company Common Stock by either, (x) issuing one or more certificates evidencing the Company Common Stock to the Participant or (y) registering the issuance of the Company Common Stock in the name of the Participant through a book entry credit in the records of the Company’s transfer agent, or (B) in the event of settlement upon a Change in Control, a cash payment equal to the Change in Control Price, multiplied by the number of vested Restricted Stock Units. No fractional Shares shall be issued in settlement of the Restricted Stock Units. Fractional Shares shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share; provided, that the Participant may not vest in more than the maximum number of Restricted Stock Units specified in the Grant Notice.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may provide for the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units in the form of Company Common Stock, but require the Participant to sell such Common Stock immediately or within a specified period following the Participant’s termination of service (in which case, the Participant hereby agrees that the Company shall have the authority to issue sale instructions in relation to such Common Stock on the Participant’s behalf).

5.Securities Law Compliance. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Participant may not sell the Shares acquired upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units unless such Shares are registered under the Securities Act, or, if such Shares are not then so registered, such sale would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The sale of such Shares must also comply with other Applicable Law and regulations governing the Shares, and the Participant may not sell the Shares if the Company determines that such sale would not be in material compliance with such laws and regulations.

(a)Restrictions on Transferability. The Restricted Stock Units granted hereby are not assignable or transferable, in whole or in part, and may not, directly or indirectly, be offered, transferred, sold, pledged, assigned, alienated, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of or encumbered (including without limitation by gift, operation of law or otherwise) other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution to the estate of the Participant upon the Participant’s death; provided that the deceased Participant’s beneficiary or representative of the Participant’s estate shall acknowledge and agree in writing, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company, to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan as if such beneficiary or the estate were the Participant.

(c)Dividend Equivalents. If the Company declares a cash dividend on the Company Common Stock, then the Participant shall be credited with Dividend Equivalents in the form of a right to a cash payment equal to (i) the amount of the dividend declared and paid for each Share, multiplied by (ii) (x) the number of Restricted Stock Units earned by the Participant as determined by the Administrator pursuant to Section 4(a) or (y) in the case of a termination of employment or service by reason of Death or a Qualifying CIC Termination, the number of Restricted Stock Units equal to the Target Award (as specified on Exhibit A attached hereto). Any Dividend Equivalents shall be subject to the same forfeiture restrictions as the Restricted Stock Units to which they are attributable and shall be paid on the same date the Restricted Stock Units to which they are attributable are settled in accordance with Section 4 hereof. Dividend Equivalents credited to a Participant’s account shall be distributed in cash or, at the discretion of the Administrator, in Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of the Dividend Equivalents, if any.

7.Participant’s Representations, Warranties and Covenants.

(a)No Conflicts; No Consents. The execution and delivery by the Participant of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and the performance of the Participant’s obligations hereunder do not and will not (i) materially conflict with or result in a material violation or breach of any term or provision of any law applicable to either the Participant or the Restricted Stock Units or (ii) violate in any material respect, conflict with in any material respect or result in any material breach of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a material default under, or require the Participant to obtain any consent, approval or action of, make any filing with or give any notice to any Person as a result or under the terms of, any contract, agreement, instrument, commitment, arrangement or understanding to which the Participant is a party.

8.Adjustment in Capitalization. Subject to Section 14.1 of the Plan, the number and kind of Shares subject to any outstanding Restricted Stock Units, or the other terms and conditions of any such Restricted Stock Units, shall be adjusted by the Administrator to reflect any stock dividend, stock split or share combination or any recapitalization, business combination, merger, consolidation, spin-off, exchange of shares, liquidation or dissolution of the Company or other similar transaction affecting the Company Common Stock in such manner as it determines in its sole discretion.

5

9.Tax Withholding. The Participant acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or the Employer with respect to any or all income tax (including U.S. federal, state and local taxes and/or non-U.S. taxes), social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Participant's participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Participant (“Tax-Related Items”), the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Participant’s personal responsibility and may exceed the amount, if any, actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. The Participant further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (a) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Participant’s participation in the Plan, including, but not limited to, the grant of the Restricted Stock Units, the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, the issuance or sale of Shares, or the receipt of any dividends or Dividend Equivalents; and (b) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the Restricted Stock Units or any aspect of the Plan to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Participant is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, the Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Participant agrees to make arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the Participant authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy their withholding obligations with regard to any Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following: (a) withholding from the Participant’s wages or other cash compensation payable to the Participant by the Company and/or the Employer, (b) withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares under the Plan, either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent) to cover the Tax-Related Items required to be withheld, and (c) withholding in Shares to be issued upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units.

If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, the Participant will be deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.

The Company or the Employer may defer the settlement of Restricted Stock Units until such withholding or other tax requirements are satisfied and if the Participant has not satisfied such withholding or other tax requirements as of the last day of the calendar year in which the Vesting Date occurs, the Restricted Stock Units shall be forfeited.

10.Nature of Grant. By accepting the Restricted Stock Units, the Participant acknowledges, understands and agrees that:

(a)the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be terminated, suspended or amended by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan;

This Agreement is intended to be administered in a manner consistent with the requirements, where applicable, of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A”). Where reasonably practicable, the Agreement shall be administered in a manner to avoid the imposition on the Participant of immediate tax recognition and additional taxes pursuant to Section 409A.

ARTICLE III.
OTHER PROVISIONS

Section 3.1Tax Withholding. The Optionee acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, the Optionee’s employer (the “Employer”) with respect to any or all income tax (including U.S. federal, state and local taxes and/or non-U.S. taxes), social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Optionee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Optionee (“Tax-Related Items”), the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Optionee’s personal responsibility and may exceed the amount, if any, actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. The Optionee further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (a) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Optionee’s participation in the Plan, including, but not limited to, the grant of the Option, the vesting of the Option, the exercise of the Option, the issuance or sale of Shares, or the receipt of any dividends; and (b) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the Option or any aspect of the Plan to reduce or eliminate the Optionee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Optionee is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, the Optionee acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Optionee agrees to make arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items.

If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, the Optionee will be deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.

Section 3.2Nature of Grant. By accepting the Option, the Optionee acknowledges, understands and agrees that:

(c)all decisions with respect to future Options or other grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Administrator;

(d)the grant of the Option and the Optionee’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to employment or be interpreted as forming an employment or service contract with the Company, the Employer or any other Subsidiary and shall not interfere with the ability of the Company, the Employer or any other Subsidiary to terminate the Optionee’s employment relationship (if any);

(m)neither the Company, the Employer nor any other Subsidiary shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Optionee’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Shares or any amounts due pursuant to the issuance of the Shares, or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired pursuant to the Option.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with the information contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2023. The interim period unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented as described below. Certain information and disclosures normally required for annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to GAAP and SEC rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented have been included. The Company’s fiscal year ends on March 31 and, unless otherwise noted, references to fiscal year or fiscal are for fiscal years ended March 31. The results of operations for the six months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes of the Company include its subsidiaries, and other entities over which the Company has a controlling financial interest or where the Company is a primary beneficiary.

Certain amounts reported in the Company's prior fiscal year condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current fiscal year presentation.

Investments in Variable Interest Entities and Other Investments

The Company invests in certain companies that advance or develop new technologies applicable to its business. Each investment is evaluated for consolidation under the variable interest entities model and/or the voting interest model. The results of these investments are not material to the unaudited condensed and consolidated financial statements for the periods presented. The Company uses the equity method to account for investments in entities that it does not control if it is otherwise able to exert significant influence over the entities' operating and financial policies. Equity investments in entities over which the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence and whose securities do not have a readily determinable fair value are accounted for under the measurement alternative. As of September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively, the total of equity and other investments related to unconsolidated entities included in other long term assets of the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet were $32.9 million and $23.1 million.

Accounting Estimates

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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Areas of the financial statements where estimates may have the most significant effect include the provision for claimed indirect costs, valuation and expected lives of tangible and intangible assets, impairment of long-lived assets, accrued liabilities, revenue recognition, including the accrual of indirect costs, bonus and other incentive compensation, stock-based compensation, reserves for uncertain tax positions and valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, provisions for income taxes, postretirement obligations, collectability of receivables, and loss accruals for litigation. Actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially from management's estimates.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“Topic 848”). The guidance is intended to provide relief for entities impacted by reference rate reform. Topic 848 contains provisions and optional accounting expedients designed to simplify requirements around the designation of hedging relationships, probability assessments of hedged forecasted transactions, and accounting for modifications of contracts that refer to the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or other rates affected by reference rate reform. The guidance is elective and is effective on the date of issuance. Topic 848 is applied prospectively to contract modifications and as of the effective date for existing and new eligible hedging relationships. During the first quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company modified its interest rate swap agreements to transition from LIBOR-indexed to term SOFR-indexed periodic swap payments to align with interest payments in connection with its term SOFR-indexed debt. As such, the Company elected the optional expedients under Topic 848 which allows the cash flow hedge to continue being recognized under hedge accounting without de-designation upon a change in critical terms affected by the reference rate reform. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

Accounting and reporting pronouncements effective after September 30, 2023 and issued through the filing date are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]

Revenue

Revenue

The Company's revenues from contracts with customers (clients) are derived from offerings that include management and technology consulting services, analytics, digital solutions, engineering, mission operations, and cyber services, substantially all with the U.S. government and its agencies and, to a lesser extent, subcontractors. The Company also serves foreign governments, as well as domestic and international commercial clients. The Company performs and generates revenue under three basic types of contracts, which include cost-reimbursable contracts, time-and-materials contracts, and fixed-price contracts.

Contract Estimates

We recognize revenue for many of our contracts under a contract cost-based input method and require an Estimate-at-Completion (“EAC”) process, which management uses to review and monitor the progress towards the completion of our performance obligations. Under this process, management considers various inputs and assumptions related to the EAC, including, but not limited to, progress towards completion, labor costs and productivity, material and subcontractor costs, and identified risks. Estimating the total cost at the completion of our performance obligations is subjective and requires management to make assumptions about future activity and cost drivers under the contract. Changes in these estimates can occur for a variety of reasons and, if significant, may impact the profitability of the Company’s contracts. Changes in estimates related to contracts accounted for under the EAC process are recognized on a cumulative catch-up basis in the period when such changes are determinable and reasonably estimable. If the estimate of contract profitability indicates an anticipated loss on a contract, the Company recognizes the total loss at the time it is identified. For each of the three and six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the aggregate impact of adjustments in contract estimates was not material.

Disaggregation of Revenue

We disaggregate our revenue from contracts with customers by contract type and by customer type, as well as by whether the Company acts as prime contractor or sub-contractor, as we believe these categories best depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. The following series of tables presents our revenue disaggregated by these categories.

Revenue by Contract Type:

We generate revenue under the following three basic types of contracts:

•Cost-Reimbursable Contracts: Cost-reimbursable contracts provide for the payment of allowable costs incurred during performance of the contract, up to a ceiling based on the amount that has been funded, plus a fixed fee or award fee.

•Time-and-Materials Contracts: Under contracts in this category, we are paid a fixed hourly rate for each direct labor hour expended, and we are reimbursed for billable material costs and billable out-of-pocket expenses inclusive of allocable indirect costs. We assume the financial risk on time-and-materials contracts because our costs of performance may exceed negotiated hourly rates.

•Fixed-Price Contracts: Under a fixed-price contract, we agree to perform the specified work for a predetermined price. To the extent our actual direct and allocated indirect costs decrease or increase from the estimates upon which the price was negotiated, we will generate more or less profit, respectively, or could incur a loss.

The table below presents the total revenue for each type of contract:

	Three Months Ended September 30,								Six Months Ended September 30,

(1) Certain contracts were reassigned between the various verticals of our U.S. government business shown in the table above to better align our operations to the customers we serve within each market. Prior year revenue by customer type has been recast to reflect the changes.

Revenue by Whether the Company Acts as a Prime Contractor or a Subcontractor:

	Three Months Ended September 30,								Six Months Ended September 30,
	2023				2022				2023				2022
Prime Contractor	$	2,537,085	95	%	$	2,179,375	95	%	$	5,054,643	95	%	$	4,310,670	95	%

Performance Obligations

Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price of exercised contracts for which work has not yet been performed, irrespective of whether funding has or has not been authorized and appropriated as of the date of exercise. Remaining performance obligations exclude negotiated but unexercised options, the unfunded value of expired contracts, and certain variable consideration which the Company does not expect to recognize as revenue.

As of September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, the Company had $9.8 billion and $7.9 billion of remaining performance obligations, respectively. We expect to recognize approximately 75% of the remaining performance obligations at September 30, 2023 as revenue over the next 12 months, and approximately 85% over the next 24 months. The remainder is expected to be recognized thereafter.

Contract Balances

The Company's performance obligations are typically satisfied over time and revenue is generally recognized using a cost-based input method. Fixed-price contracts are typically billed to the customer using milestone or fixed monthly payments, while cost-reimbursable-plus-fee and time-and-material contracts are typically billed to the customer at periodic intervals (e.g., monthly or weekly) as indicated by the terms of the contract. Disparities between the timing of revenue recognition and customer billings and cash collections result in net contract assets or liabilities being recognized at the end of each reporting period.

Contract assets primarily consist of unbilled receivables typically resulting from revenue recognized exceeding the amount billed to the customer and right to payment is not just subject to the passage of time. Unbilled amounts represent revenues for which billings have not been presented to customers. These amounts are generally billed and collected within one year subject to various conditions including, without limitation, appropriated and available funding. Long-term unbilled receivables not anticipated to be billed and collected within one year, which are primarily related to retainage, holdbacks, and long-term rate settlements to be billed at contract closeout, are included in other long-term assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Contract liabilities primarily consist of advance payments, billings in excess of costs incurred and deferred revenue. Contract assets and liabilities are reported on a net contract basis at the end of each reporting period. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses to provide for an estimate of uncollectible receivables. Provision for credit losses recognized was not material for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

The following table summarizes the contract assets and liabilities, and accounts receivable, net of allowance recognized on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets:

	September 30, 2023		March 31, 2023
Current assets
Accounts receivable–billed	$	678,241	$	551,666
Accounts receivable–unbilled (contract assets)	1,331,785		1,223,482
Allowance for credit losses	(179)		(318)
Accounts receivable, net	2,009,847		1,774,830
Other long-term assets
Accounts receivable–unbilled (contract assets)	59,653		59,455
Total accounts receivable, net	$	2,069,500	$	1,834,285
Other current liabilities
Advance payments, billings in excess of costs incurred and deferred revenue (contract liabilities)	$	14,918	$	18,995

Changes in contract assets and contract liabilities are primarily due to the timing difference between the Company’s performance of services and payments from customers. For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, we recognized revenue of $1.7 million and $3.7 million, respectively, and for the six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, we recognized revenue of $16.2 million and $20.0 million, respectively, related to our contract liabilities on April 1, 2023 and 2022, respectively. To determine revenue recognized from contract liabilities during the reporting periods, the Company allocates revenue to individual contract liability balances and applies revenue recognized during the reporting periods first to the beginning balances of contract liabilities until the revenue exceeds the balances.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings Per Share

Earnings Per Share

The Company computes basic and diluted earnings per share amounts based on net income attributable to common stockholders for the periods presented. The Company uses the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period to calculate basic earnings per share, or EPS. Diluted EPS adjusts the weighted average number of shares outstanding to include the dilutive effect of outstanding common stock options and other stock-based awards.

The Company currently has outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock. Holders of unvested Class A Restricted Common Stock are entitled to participate in non-forfeitable dividends or other distributions (“participating securities”). These unvested restricted shares participated in the Company's dividends declared and paid in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 and 2023. As such, EPS is calculated using the two-class method whereby earnings are reduced by distributed earnings as well as any available undistributed earnings allocable to holders of these unvested restricted shares. A reconciliation of the income used to compute basic and diluted EPS for the periods presented are as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Six Months Ended September 30,

Diluted (2)	$	1.29	$	1.28	$	2.51	$	2.31

(1)    The difference between earnings for basic and diluted computations and net income presented on the condensed consolidated statements of operations is due to undistributed earnings and dividends allocated to the participating securities. There were approximately 1.1 million of participating securities for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 1.1 million and 1.0 million shares of participating securities for the six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]

Acquisition, Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Acquisition, Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Acquisition

On October 14, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of EverWatch Corp. (“EverWatch”), a leading provider of advanced solutions to the defense and intelligence communities for approximately $445.1 million, net of post-closing adjustments and incurred transaction costs as part of the acquisition. The acquisition was funded with cash on hand. As a result of the transaction, EverWatch became a wholly owned subsidiary of Booz Allen Hamilton Inc.

The Company recognized $108.6 million of intangible assets which consists primarily of contract assets and were valued using the excess earnings method discounted cash flow approach, incorporating Level 3 inputs as described under the fair value hierarchy of Topic 820. These unobservable inputs reflect the Company's own judgment about which assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset on a non-recurring basis. The intangible assets are being amortized over the estimated useful life of 14 years. The goodwill of $330.9 million is primarily attributable to EverWatch's specialized workforce and the expected synergies between the Company and EverWatch, and is non-deductible for tax purposes.

The following table summarizes the consideration and the allocation of the purchase price paid for EverWatch:

Cash consideration (gross of cash acquired)	$	445,074
Purchase price allocation:
Cash	4,779
Current assets	27,725
Operating lease right-of-use asset	7,894
Other long-term assets	5,078
Intangible assets	108,600
Deferred tax liabilities	(20,394)
Current liabilities	(11,612)
Operating lease liabilities - short-term	(1,362)
Operating lease liabilities - long-term	(6,532)
Total fair value of identifiable net assets acquired	$	114,176
Goodwill	$	330,898

The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting, which requires the total acquisition consideration to be allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on an estimate of the acquisition date fair value, with the difference reflected in goodwill. During the first quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company completed the determination of fair values of the acquired assets and liabilities assumed. Pro forma results of operations for this acquisition are not presented because the acquisition is not material to the Company's consolidated results of operations.

Goodwill

As of September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, goodwill was $2,343.8 million and $2,338.4 million, respectively. The $5.4 million increase in the carrying amount of goodwill was attributable the Company's finalization of the accounting for the acquisition of EverWatch.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consisted of the following:

	September 30, 2023						March 31, 2023
	Gross Carrying Value		Accumulated Amortization		Net Carrying Value		Gross Carrying Value		Accumulated Amortization		Net Carrying Value
Amortizable intangible assets:

The decrease in the gross carrying value of intangible assets was primarily attributable to a $7.9 million adjustment related to the Company's finalization of the accounting for the acquisition of EverWatch in the first quarter of fiscal 2024.

Credit Agreement

Booz Allen Hamilton Inc. (“Booz Allen Hamilton”), Booz Allen Hamilton Investor Corporation (“Investor”), and certain wholly owned subsidiaries of Booz Allen Hamilton are parties to a Credit Agreement dated as of July 31, 2012, as amended (the “Credit Agreement”), with certain institutional lenders and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and Issuing Lender. As of September 30, 2023, the Credit Agreement provided Booz Allen Hamilton with a $1,608.8 million Term Loan A (“Term Loan A”) and a $1.0 billion revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), with a sub-limit for letters of credit of $200.0 million. As of September 30, 2023, the maturity date of the Term Loan A and the Revolving Commitments is September 7, 2027. Voluntary prepayments of the Term Loan A and the Revolving Loans are permitted at any time, in minimum principal amounts, without premium or penalty. Booz Allen Hamilton’s obligations and the guarantors’ guarantees under the Credit Agreement were secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the assets (including capital stock of subsidiaries) of Booz Allen Hamilton, Investor and the subsidiary guarantors, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Credit Agreement and related documentation; such security was released in connection with Booz Allen Hamilton obtaining investment grade ratings from both Moody's and S&P. On September 7, 2022 (the “Ninth Amendment Effective Date”), the previously outstanding Term Loan B loans under the Credit Agreement were prepaid in full.

On July 27, 2023 (the “Tenth Amendment Effective Date”), Booz Allen Hamilton entered into a Tenth Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement (as amended prior to the Tenth Amendment Effective Date, the “Existing Credit Agreement” and, as amended by the Amendment, the “Amended Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), and the lenders and other financial institutions party thereto, in order to make permanent certain changes to the Existing Credit Agreement in connection with Booz Allen Hamilton obtaining investment grade ratings from both Moody's and S&P and prepaying the Term Loan B loans in full and to make certain additional changes in connection therewith, including, among other things, (i) removing the requirements for the obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement to be secured, (ii) removing the requirement for any subsidiary or other affiliate of Booz Allen Hamilton (other than the Company) to provide any guarantee of the obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement, and (iii) removing or modifying certain covenants applicable to Booz Allen Hamilton. Pursuant to the Amendment, all guarantees in respect of the Existing Credit Agreement have been released. The Amendment did not impact any of the terms of the Credit Agreement related to amortization or payments.

On the Tenth Amendment Effective Date in connection with the Amendment, the Company entered into a Guarantee Agreement (the “Guarantee Agreement”) in favor of the Administrative Agent, pursuant to which the Company guarantees on an unsecured basis the obligations of Booz Allen Hamilton under the Amended Credit Agreement subject to certain conditions. Pursuant to the Amended Credit Agreement Booz Allen Hamilton has the option, though not any obligation, to join one or more of its domestic subsidiaries as a guarantor under the Guarantee Agreement.

The Term Loan A amortizes in consecutive quarterly installments in an amount equal to (i) on the last business day of each full fiscal quarter that begins after the Ninth Amendment Effective Date but on or before the two year anniversary of the Ninth Amendment Effective Date, 0.625% of the stated principal amount of the Term Loan A and (ii) on the last business day of each full fiscal quarter that begins after the two year anniversary of the Ninth Amendment Effective Date but before the five year anniversary of the Ninth Amendment Effective Date, 1.25% of the stated principal amount of the Term Loan A. The remaining balance of the Term Loan A will be payable upon maturity.

The rate at which the Term Loan A and the Revolving Loans bear interest is based, at Booz Allen Hamilton’s option, either on Term SOFR (subject to a 0.10% adjustment and a floor of zero) for the applicable interest period or a base rate (equal to the highest of (i) the administrative agent’s prime corporate rate, (ii) the overnight federal funds rate plus 0.50% and (iii) three-month Term SOFR (subject to a 0.10% adjustment and a floor of zero) plus 1.00%), in each case plus an applicable margin, payable at the end of the applicable interest period and in any event at least quarterly. The applicable margin for the Term Loan A and the Revolving Loans ranges from 1.00% to 2.00% for Term SOFR loans and zero to 1.00% for base rate loans, in each case based on the lower of (i) the applicable rate per annum determined pursuant to a consolidated total net leverage ratio grid and (ii) the applicable rate per annum determined pursuant to a ratings grid. Unused Revolving Commitments are subject to a quarterly fee ranging from 0.10% to 0.35% based on the lower of (i) the applicable fee rate per annum determined pursuant to a consolidated total net leverage ratio grid and (ii) the applicable fee rate per annum determined pursuant to a ratings grid. Booz Allen Hamilton has also agreed to pay customary letter of credit and agency fees.

The Company occasionally borrows under the Revolving Credit Facility for our working capital needs. During the first and second quarters of fiscal 2024, we borrowed $500.0 million on our Revolving Credit Facility for our working capital needs, which was subsequently repaid in the second quarter of fiscal 2024. As of March 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023, respectively, there was no outstanding balance on the Revolving Credit Facility.

The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and customary affirmative and negative covenants. In addition, Booz Allen Hamilton is required to meet a financial covenant at each quarter end based on a consolidated net total leverage ratio. As of September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, Booz Allen Hamilton was in compliance with all financial covenants associated with its debt and debt-like instruments. In connection with Booz Allen Hamilton obtaining investment grade ratings from both Moody's and S&P, activities restricted by certain negative covenants are permitted subject to pro forma compliance with the financial covenants and no events of default having occurred and continuing.

The following table summarizes interest payments made on the Company’s term loans:

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Six Months Ended September 30,
	2023		2022		2023		2022
Term Loan A	$	27,007	$	7,846	$	53,098	$	14,165
Term Loan B	$	—	$	2,793	$	—	$	5,209
Total	$	27,007	$	10,639	$	53,098	$	19,374

Borrowings under the Term Loan A, and if used, the Revolving Credit Facility, incur interest at a variable rate. As of September 30, 2023, Booz Allen Hamilton had interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $550.0 million. These instruments hedge the variability of cash outflows for interest payments on the Term Loans and Revolving Credit Facility. The Company's objectives in using cash flow hedges are to reduce volatility due to interest rate movements and to add stability to interest expense (See Note 9, “Derivatives,” to our condensed consolidated financial statements).

Senior Notes

For information on the terms, conditions, and restrictions of Booz Allen Hamilton's 4.000% Senior Notes due July 1, 2029 (the “Senior Notes due 2029”) and 3.875% Senior Notes due September 1, 2028 (the “Senior Notes due 2028”), see Note 10, “Debt,” of the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the fiscal 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In connection with Booz Allen Hamilton obtaining investment grade ratings from both Moody's and S&P, certain negative covenants in the indentures governing the Senior Notes were suspended, and guarantees of the Senior Notes were released.

On August 4, 2023, Booz Allen Hamilton completed an offering of $650.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.950% senior unsecured notes due August 4, 2033 (the “Senior Notes due 2033”, and, together with the Senior Notes due 2028 and Senior Notes due 2029, the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes due 2033 were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of August 4, 2023 (the “Base Indenture”), among Booz Allen Hamilton, Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corporation, and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee, as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of August 4, 2023 (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”). The Indenture contains certain covenants, events of default, and other customary provisions. The Senior Notes due 2033 are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured and unsubordinated basis by Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corporation, pursuant to the Indenture.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Derivatives

Derivatives

The Company utilizes derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate risk related to its variable rate debt. The Company’s objectives in using these interest rate derivatives, which were designated as cash flow hedges, are to manage its exposure to interest rate movements and reduce volatility of interest expense.

The following table summarizes the material terms of the Company’s outstanding interest rate swap derivative contracts as of September 30, 2023:

Effective Date		Maturity Date	Terms	Notional Amount
April 28, 2023	(1)	June 30, 2024	Variable to Fixed	$	200,000
April 28, 2023	(1)	June 30, 2025	Variable to Fixed	200,000
June 30, 2023		June 30, 2026	Variable to Fixed	150,000
			Total	$	550,000

(1) Swap agreements were originally effective on April 30, 2019 and were amended during the first quarter of fiscal 2024 to transition from LIBOR-indexed to term SOFR-indexed periodic swap payments to align with interest payments in connection with its term SOFR-indexed debt. See Note 2, “Basis of Presentation,” to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information on the transition.

The floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps involve the exchange of variable interest amounts from a counterparty for the Company making fixed-rate interest payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount and effectively convert a portion of the variable rate debt into fixed interest rate debt.

Derivative instruments are recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheet on a gross basis at estimated fair value. As of September 30, 2023, $13.2 million and $4.7 million, were classified as other current assets and other long-term assets, respectively, on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of March 31, 2023, $11.2 million, $3.5 million and $1.4 million were classified as other current assets, other long-term assets and other long-term liabilities, respectively, on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

For interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges, the changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, or AOCI, net of taxes, and is subsequently reclassified into interest expense, net in the period that the hedged forecasted interest payments are made on the Company's variable-rate debt. The effect of derivative instruments on the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 is as follows:

		Three Months Ended September 30,
Derivatives in Cash Flow Hedging Relationships	Location of Gain or Loss Recognized in Income on Derivatives	Amount of Pre-Tax Gain Recognized in AOCI on Derivatives				Amount of Pre-Tax Gain or (Loss) Reclassified from AOCI into Income (1)
		2023		2022		2023		2022
Interest rate swaps	Interest income (expense)	$	3,173	$	10,173	$	3,702	$	(388)

(1) The reclassifications from accumulated other comprehensive income to net income were reduced by tax (expense) benefit of ($1.0 million) and $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

		Six Months Ended September 30,
Derivatives in Cash Flow Hedging Relationships	Location of Gain or Loss Recognized in Income on Derivatives	Amount of Pre-Tax Gain or (Loss) Recognized in AOCL on Derivatives				Amount of Pre-Tax Gain or (Loss) Reclassified from AOCL into Income (2)
		2023		2022		2023		2022
Interest rate swaps	Interest income (expense)	$	11,772	$	15,139	$	7,271	$	(3,219)

(2) The reclassifications from accumulated other comprehensive loss to net income was reduced by tax (expense) benefit of ($1.9 million) and $0.8 million for the six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Over the next 12 months, the Company estimates that $13.2 million will be reclassified as a decrease to interest expense. Cash flows associated with periodic settlements of interest rate swaps will be classified as operating activities in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

The Company is subject to counterparty risk in connection with its interest rate swap derivative contracts. Credit risk related to a derivative financial instrument represents the possibility that the counterparty will not fulfill the terms of the contract. The Company mitigates this credit risk by entering into agreements with credit-worthy counterparties and regularly reviews its credit exposure and the creditworthiness of the counterparties.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

The Company’s effective income tax rates were 24.4% and 23.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 22.2% and 23.1% for the six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Our effective tax rates for these periods differ from the federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to the inclusion of state and foreign income taxes and permanent rate differences, which are predominantly related to certain executive compensation and the accrual of reserves for uncertain tax positions, offset by research and development tax credits, excess tax benefits for employee share-based compensation, and the Foreign Derived Intangible Income deduction.

The Company is currently contesting tax assessments from the District of Columbia Office of Tax and Revenue (“DC OTR”) for fiscal years 2013 through 2015. The assessment relates to $11.7 million of taxes, net of federal tax benefits, as of September 30, 2023.

During fiscal 2022, the Company received notification that the District of Columbia Office of Administrative Hearings ruled in favor of the DC OTR. The Company is currently appealing the decision with the District of Columbia Court of Appeals. The Company intends to continue to vigorously defend this matter. Oral arguments occurred on September 26, 2023 and the Company continues to wait on further developments from the court.

The Company has taken similar tax positions with respect to subsequent fiscal years. As of September 30, 2023, the Company does not maintain reserves for any uncertain tax positions related to the contested tax benefits related to 2013 through 2015, nor does it maintain reserves for the similar tax positions taken in the subsequent fiscal years. Management continues to evaluate this position quarterly to determine if a change in estimate is needed. If an adverse final resolution were to occur with respect to the contested tax benefits or the similar tax positions taken for fiscal years 2013 through 2020, the total potential future tax expense that would arise would be approximately $40.4 million to $64.3 million, net of federal benefit.

During fiscal 2024, the Company expects to recognize an increase in reserves for uncertain tax positions related to an increase in research and development tax credits available, as in prior years, and the required capitalization of research and development expenditures which began in fiscal 2023. The unrecognized tax benefits related to the capitalization of research and development expenditures is expected to be offset by a deferred tax asset.

Tax Receivables and Payables

The Company has both income tax receivables and income tax payable on its condensed consolidated balance sheets as follows:

	September 30, 2023	March 31, 2023
Current income tax receivable	24,031	23,633
Long term income tax receivable	167,821	167,821
Current income tax payable	6,668	14,523

Current income tax payable represents current liabilities associated with the Company’s current tax returns that the Company intends to file in fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2025. This amount is classified as other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The long-term income tax receivable primarily represents the amended U.S. federal return refund claims for research and development tax credits and the carryback claim for the fiscal 2021 net operating loss which is classified as other long-term assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company is currently under federal audit by the IRS for fiscal years 2016, 2017 and 2019-2021 and the receipt of our U.S federal return refund claims is contingent upon the completion of the ongoing IRS audits.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

The accounting standard for fair value measurements establishes a three-tier 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 (Level 2); and unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which requires the Company to develop its own assumptions (Level 3).

A financial instrument's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The financial instruments measured at fair value in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets consist of the following:

(1) Investments in this category consist primarily of mutual funds whose fair values are determined by reference to the quoted market price per unit in active markets multiplied by the number of units held without consideration of transaction costs. These assets and liabilities represent investments held in a consolidated trust to fund the Company's non-qualified deferred compensation plan and are recorded in other long-term assets and other long-term liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

(2) The Company’s interest rate swaps are considered over-the-counter derivatives and fair value is estimated based on the present value of future cash flows using a model-derived valuation that uses Level 2 observable inputs such as interest rate yield curves. See Note 9, “Derivatives,” to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion on the Company’s derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges.

We did not have any material items that were measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of September 30, 2023, with the exception of the assets and liabilities acquired through our acquisitions (see Note 5, “Acquisition, Goodwill and Intangible Assets,” to the condensed consolidated financial statements).

The fair value of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, which are Level 1 inputs, approximated its carrying value at September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023. The Company’s cash and cash equivalent balances presented on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets include $286.3 million and $237.8 million of marketable securities in money market funds as of September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively.

The Company's long-term debt is carried at amortized cost and is measured at fair value quarterly for disclosure purposes. The estimated fair values are determined using quoted prices or other market information obtained from recent trading activity of the debt in markets that are not active (Level 2 inputs). The fair value is corroborated by prices derived from the interest rate spreads of recently completed leveraged loan transactions of a similar credit profile, industry, and terms to that of the Company. The fair value of the Senior Notes are determined using quoted prices or other market information obtained from recent trading activity in the high-yield bond market (Level 2 inputs). The carrying amount and estimated fair value of long-term debt consists of the following:

	September 30, 2023				March 31, 2023
	Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value
Term Loan A	$	1,608,750	$	1,588,641	$	1,629,375	$	1,600,861

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies

Letters of Credit and Third-Party Guarantees

As of September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, the Company was contingently liable under open standby letters of credit and bank guarantees issued by our banks in favor of third parties that totaled $4.4 million and $6.1 million, respectively. These letters of credit and bank guarantees primarily support insurance and bid and performance obligations. At both September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, approximately $1.3 million of these instruments reduced the available borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. The remainder is guaranteed under a separate $7.5 million facility of which $4.4 million and $2.7 million were available to the Company at September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively.

Government Contracting Matters - Provision for Claimed Indirect Costs

For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, approximately 99% and 97%, respectively, of the Company's revenue was generated from contracts where the end user was an agency or department of the U.S. government, including contracts where the Company performed either as a prime contractor or subcontractor, and regardless of the geographic location in which the work was performed. For the six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, approximately 98% and 97%, respectively, of the Company's revenue was generated from such contracts. As noted in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, in the ordinary course of business, agencies of the U.S. government, including the Defense Contract Audit Agency (“DCAA”), audit the Company’s claimed indirect costs and conduct inquiries and investigations of our business practices with respect to government contracts to determine whether the Company's operations are conducted in accordance with these requirements and the terms of the relevant contracts. During the second quarter of fiscal 2024, DCAA issued their findings related to the audit of the Company’s claimed indirect costs for fiscal 2022. Based upon DCAA’s audit findings, the Company reduced a portion of its provision for claimed indirect costs related to fiscal 2022 by approximately $18.3 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2024, which resulted in a corresponding increase to revenue, to reflect our best estimate of the final indirect cost rates for fiscal 2022. Operating income for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023 was accordingly increased by $18.3 million and net income was increased by $13.5 million (or $0.10 of basic and diluted earnings per common share for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023). Our final indirect cost rates for fiscal 2022 remain subject to negotiation with the Defense Contract Management Agency (“DCMA”) Administrative Contracting Officer. Management believes it has recorded the appropriate provision for claimed indirect costs for any audit, inquiry, or investigation of which it is aware that may be subject to any reductions and/or penalties. As of September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, the Company had recorded liabilities of approximately $328.9 million and $326.7 million, respectively, for estimated adjustments to claimed indirect costs based on its historical DCAA audit results, including the final resolution of such audits with DCMA, for claimed indirect costs incurred subsequent to fiscal 2011, and for contracts not yet closed that are subject to audit and final resolution.

Litigation

Our performance under U.S. government contracts and compliance with the terms of those contracts and applicable laws and regulations are subject to continuous audit, review, and investigation by the U.S. government, which may include such investigative techniques as subpoenas or civil investigative demands. Given the nature of our business, these audits, reviews, and investigations may focus, among other areas, on various aspects of procurement integrity, labor time reporting, sensitive and/or classified information access and control, executive compensation, and post government employment restrictions. We are not always aware of our status in such matters, but we are currently aware of certain pending audits and investigations involving labor time reporting, procurement integrity, and classified information access. In addition, from time to time, we are also involved in legal proceedings and investigations arising in the ordinary course of business, including those relating to employment matters, relationships with clients and contractors, intellectual property disputes, and other business matters. These legal proceedings seek various remedies, including claims for monetary damages in varying amounts, none of which are considered material, or are unspecified as to amount. Although the outcome of any such matter is inherently uncertain and may be materially adverse, based on current information, we do not expect any of the currently ongoing audits, reviews, investigations, or litigation to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. As of September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, there were no material amounts accrued in the condensed consolidated financial statements related to these proceedings. As previously disclosed in Note 20, “Commitments and Contingencies,” to the consolidated financial statements of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, the Company is not able to reasonably estimate the expected amount or range of cost or any loss associated with these matters.

On June 7, 2017, Booz Allen Hamilton was informed that the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) was conducting a civil and criminal investigation of the Company. In connection with the investigation, the DOJ requested information from the Company relating to certain elements of the Company’s cost accounting and indirect cost charging practices with the U.S. government. The investigation resulted from a qui tam lawsuit filed on or about September 26, 2016 in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia pursuant to the qui tam provisions of the civil False Claims Act (the “Civil Action”), which lawsuit was under judicial seal until July 21, 2023. After learning of the investigation, the Company engaged a law firm experienced in these matters to represent the Company in connection with this matter and respond to the government's requests. As is commonly the case with this type of matter, the Company was also contacted by other regulatory agencies and bodies, including the SEC, which notified the Company that it was conducting an investigation that the Company believes related to the matters that were also the subject of the DOJ's investigation.

On May 12, 2021, the Company was informed that the DOJ closed its criminal investigation.

On July 21, 2023, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with the United States of America, acting through the DOJ and on behalf of the Department of Defense and Defense Contract Management Agency (collectively the “United States”), and Relator Sarah A. Feinberg, to resolve the DOJ’s civil investigation and the Civil Action. The Company entered into the Settlement Agreement to avoid the delay, uncertainty and expense of protracted litigation. The Settlement Agreement contains no admission of liability by the Company.

Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to pay to the United States $377.5 million (the “Settlement Amount”). The Company paid the Settlement Amount with cash on hand and by drawing on its revolving credit facility. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had recorded a $377.5 million reserve relating to this investigation and had previously disclosed that it believed the range of reasonably possible loss in connection with the investigation to be between $350 million and $378 million. Following the United States’ receipt of the Settlement Amount, the Company was released from any civil or administrative monetary claims under the civil False Claims Act and other specified civil statutes and common law theories of liability for certain elements of the Company’s cost accounting and indirect cost charging practices from April 1, 2011 through March 31, 2021, and the claim brought in the Civil Action was dismissed with prejudice.

On July 27, 2023, the Company was informed that the SEC concluded its investigation without recommending an enforcement action.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with the information contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2023. The interim period unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented as described below. Certain information and disclosures normally required for annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to GAAP and SEC rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented have been included. The Company’s fiscal year ends on March 31 and, unless otherwise noted, references to fiscal year or fiscal are for fiscal years ended March 31. The results of operations for the six months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes of the Company include its subsidiaries, and other entities over which the Company has a controlling financial interest or where the Company is a primary beneficiary.

Certain amounts reported in the Company's prior fiscal year condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current fiscal year presentation.

Investments in Variable Interest Entities and Other Investments

Investments in Variable Interest Entities and Other Investments

The Company invests in certain companies that advance or develop new technologies applicable to its business. Each investment is evaluated for consolidation under the variable interest entities model and/or the voting interest model. The results of these investments are not material to the unaudited condensed and consolidated financial statements for the periods presented. The Company uses the equity method to account for investments in entities that it does not control if it is otherwise able to exert significant influence over the entities' operating and financial policies. Equity investments in entities over which the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence and whose securities do not have a readily determinable fair value are accounted for under the measurement alternative. As of September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively, the total of equity and other investments related to unconsolidated entities included in other long term assets of the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet were $32.9 million and $23.1 million.

Accounting Estimates

Accounting Estimates

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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Areas of the financial statements where estimates may have the most significant effect include the provision for claimed indirect costs, valuation and expected lives of tangible and intangible assets, impairment of long-lived assets, accrued liabilities, revenue recognition, including the accrual of indirect costs, bonus and other incentive compensation, stock-based compensation, reserves for uncertain tax positions and valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, provisions for income taxes, postretirement obligations, collectability of receivables, and loss accruals for litigation. Actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially from management's estimates.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements and Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“Topic 848”). The guidance is intended to provide relief for entities impacted by reference rate reform. Topic 848 contains provisions and optional accounting expedients designed to simplify requirements around the designation of hedging relationships, probability assessments of hedged forecasted transactions, and accounting for modifications of contracts that refer to the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or other rates affected by reference rate reform. The guidance is elective and is effective on the date of issuance. Topic 848 is applied prospectively to contract modifications and as of the effective date for existing and new eligible hedging relationships. During the first quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company modified its interest rate swap agreements to transition from LIBOR-indexed to term SOFR-indexed periodic swap payments to align with interest payments in connection with its term SOFR-indexed debt. As such, the Company elected the optional expedients under Topic 848 which allows the cash flow hedge to continue being recognized under hedge accounting without de-designation upon a change in critical terms affected by the reference rate reform. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

Accounting and reporting pronouncements effective after September 30, 2023 and issued through the filing date are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

Revenue

The Company's revenues from contracts with customers (clients) are derived from offerings that include management and technology consulting services, analytics, digital solutions, engineering, mission operations, and cyber services, substantially all with the U.S. government and its agencies and, to a lesser extent, subcontractors. The Company also serves foreign governments, as well as domestic and international commercial clients. The Company performs and generates revenue under three basic types of contracts, which include cost-reimbursable contracts, time-and-materials contracts, and fixed-price contracts.

Contract Estimates

We recognize revenue for many of our contracts under a contract cost-based input method and require an Estimate-at-Completion (“EAC”) process, which management uses to review and monitor the progress towards the completion of our performance obligations. Under this process, management considers various inputs and assumptions related to the EAC, including, but not limited to, progress towards completion, labor costs and productivity, material and subcontractor costs, and identified risks. Estimating the total cost at the completion of our performance obligations is subjective and requires management to make assumptions about future activity and cost drivers under the contract. Changes in these estimates can occur for a variety of reasons and, if significant, may impact the profitability of the Company’s contracts. Changes in estimates related to contracts accounted for under the EAC process are recognized on a cumulative catch-up basis in the period when such changes are determinable and reasonably estimable. If the estimate of contract profitability indicates an anticipated loss on a contract, the Company recognizes the total loss at the time it is identified. For each of the three and six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the aggregate impact of adjustments in contract estimates was not material.

Disaggregation of Revenue

We disaggregate our revenue from contracts with customers by contract type and by customer type, as well as by whether the Company acts as prime contractor or sub-contractor, as we believe these categories best depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. The following series of tables presents our revenue disaggregated by these categories.

Revenue by Contract Type:

We generate revenue under the following three basic types of contracts:

•Cost-Reimbursable Contracts: Cost-reimbursable contracts provide for the payment of allowable costs incurred during performance of the contract, up to a ceiling based on the amount that has been funded, plus a fixed fee or award fee.

•Time-and-Materials Contracts: Under contracts in this category, we are paid a fixed hourly rate for each direct labor hour expended, and we are reimbursed for billable material costs and billable out-of-pocket expenses inclusive of allocable indirect costs. We assume the financial risk on time-and-materials contracts because our costs of performance may exceed negotiated hourly rates.

•Fixed-Price Contracts: Under a fixed-price contract, we agree to perform the specified work for a predetermined price. To the extent our actual direct and allocated indirect costs decrease or increase from the estimates upon which the price was negotiated, we will generate more or less profit, respectively, or could incur a loss.Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price of exercised contracts for which work has not yet been performed, irrespective of whether funding has or has not been authorized and appropriated as of the date of exercise. Remaining performance obligations exclude negotiated but unexercised options, the unfunded value of expired contracts, and certain variable consideration which the Company does not expect to recognize as revenue.The Company's performance obligations are typically satisfied over time and revenue is generally recognized using a cost-based input method. Fixed-price contracts are typically billed to the customer using milestone or fixed monthly payments, while cost-reimbursable-plus-fee and time-and-material contracts are typically billed to the customer at periodic intervals (e.g., monthly or weekly) as indicated by the terms of the contract. Disparities between the timing of revenue recognition and customer billings and cash collections result in net contract assets or liabilities being recognized at the end of each reporting period.Contract assets primarily consist of unbilled receivables typically resulting from revenue recognized exceeding the amount billed to the customer and right to payment is not just subject to the passage of time. Unbilled amounts represent revenues for which billings have not been presented to customers. These amounts are generally billed and collected within one year subject to various conditions including, without limitation, appropriated and available funding. Long-term unbilled receivables not anticipated to be billed and collected within one year, which are primarily related to retainage, holdbacks, and long-term rate settlements to be billed at contract closeout, are included in other long-term assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Contract liabilities primarily consist of advance payments, billings in excess of costs incurred and deferred revenue. Contract assets and liabilities are reported on a net contract basis at the end of each reporting period. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses to provide for an estimate of uncollectible receivables.
