"Our third quarter results reflect a 5.6% revenue contraction, slightly ahead of our guidance when adjusting for the approximate 1% headwind from the government shutdown, and strong margins due to continued sound program execution," said Jim Reagan, SAIC Interim Chief Executive Officer.

Third Quarter Summary Results
Revenues for the quarter decreased $110 million or 6% compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to ramp down in volume on existing contracts, including approximately $16 million attributable to the government shutdown, and contract completions, partially offset by new contracts. Revenues recognized from the acquisition of SilverEdge for the three months ended October 31, 2025 were immaterial.
Operating income as a percentage of revenues for the quarter decreased compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to executive transition costs, net of recoveries, and the favorable resolution of the Assault Amphibious Vehicle ("AAV") contract termination in the prior year ($14 million), partially offset by timing and volume mix in our contract portfolio.
Adjusted EBITDA(1) as a percentage of revenues for the quarter decreased to 9.9% from 10.0% for the same period in the prior year primarily due to the favorable resolution of the AAV contract termination in the prior year ($14 million), partially offset by timing and volume mix in our contract portfolio.
Diluted earnings per share for the quarter was $1.69 compared to $2.13 in the prior year quarter. Adjusted diluted earnings per share(1) for the quarter was $2.58 compared to $2.61 in the prior year quarter. The weighted-average diluted shares outstanding during the quarter decreased to 46.1 million from 49.8 million during the prior year quarter.
(1)Non-GAAP measure, see Schedule 6 for information about this measure.
Cash Generation and Capital Deployment
Cash flows provided by operating activities for the third quarter decreased $14 million compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to higher cash outflows from the usage of the Master Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement ("MARPA Facility") in the current year and other changes in working capital, partially offset by timing of customer collections.
During the quarter, SAIC deployed $120 million of capital, primarily consisting of $94 million of plan share repurchases and $17 million in cash dividends.
Quarterly Dividend Declared
Subsequent to quarter end, on December 2, 2025, the Company's Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.37 per share of the Company's common stock payable on January 28, 2026 to stockholders of record on January 14, 2026. SAIC intends to continue paying dividends on a quarterly basis, although the declaration of any future dividends will be determined by the Board of Directors each quarter and will depend on earnings, financial condition, capital requirements and other factors.
Backlog and Contract Awards
Net bookings for the quarter and year were approximately $2.2 billion and $7.2 billion, respectively, which reflects a book-to-bill ratio of 1.2 and 1.3, respectively, and a trailing twelve months book-to-bill ratio of 1.2. SAIC's estimated backlog at the end of the quarter was approximately $23.8 billion. Of the total backlog amount, approximately $3.8 billion was funded.
Notable New and Recompete Awards:
U.S Air Force: During the quarter, SAIC was awarded the $1.4 billion Collaborative Operations for Battlespace Resilient Architecture ("COBRA") task order in support of the U.S. Air Force. Under this five year (one-year base, plus four, one-year option periods) task order SAIC will provide engineering services to the Department of the Air Force, leveraging its expertise in IT modernization, mission solutions, and digital transformation.
U.S. Army: During the quarter, SAIC was awarded a $413 million, five-year (one-year base, plus four, one-year option periods) Open Source Intelligence Enterprise ("OSINT") task order.

U.S. Navy: During the quarter, SAIC was awarded a $171 million, 5-year contract with the U.S. Navy. The objective of this effort is to perform R&D to modify and upgrade legacy technology and identify and develop new technology for expeditionary, including low altitude, Multi-Mission Electromagnetic Warfare ("MMEW") systems to address capability, readiness, and sustainment gaps for Department of War ("DoW", formerly referred to as the Department of Defense) and Other Government Agencies ("OGAs") systems. The goal is to develop the future generations of advanced MMEW and Electromagnetic Warfare Management ("EWM") systems, Force Level Electromagnetic Warfare ("FLEW"), and Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations ("EMSO").
Naval Undersea Warfare Center: SAIC was awarded a $242 million, five-year single-award indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract by the Naval Undersea Warfare Center to operate, maintain, and upgrade certain key facilities.

Net bookings and backlog for the quarter include $180 million related to this award.
U.S. Space and Intelligence Community: During the quarter, SAIC was awarded approximately $515 million of contract awards by space and intelligence organizations. These awards represent a combination of new business, modifications, and recompetes.

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