Current wording

The majority of our revenue is derived from federal government contracts. Funding for U.S. Government programs is subject to a variety of factors that can affect our business, including the administration’s budget requests and procurement priorities and policies, annual congressional budget authorization and appropriation processes, and other U.S. Government domestic and international priorities. U.S. Government spending levels, particularly defense spending, and timely funding thereof can affect our financial performance over the short and long term.

Previous wording

We anticipate the federal budget will continue to be subject to debate and compromise shaped by, among other things, the new Administration and Congress, the global security environment, inflationary pressures, and macroeconomic conditions.

Current wording

We anticipate the federal budget, debt ceiling, regulatory environment, and potential tax reform will continue to be subject to debate and compromise shaped by, among other things, the current Administration and Congress, heightened political tensions, the global security environment, inflationary pressures, and macroeconomic conditions. The result may be shifting funding priorities, which could have material impacts on defense spending broadly and our programs. Additionally, the administration continues to take steps to evaluate government-wide and defense-specific staffing and procurement, which includes assessing mission priorities, procurement methods, program performance, and other factors and then potentially taking action based on those assessments. Those actions remain uncertain and could result in impacts to both our current and future business prospects and financial performance.

We operate in a complex and evolving security environment and our business is affected by geopolitical issues. Conflicts in Ukraine, the Middle East. and Africa and heightened tension in the Pacific region have elevated global geopolitical tensions and security concerns. For our government customers, their focus on addressing immediate needs in these regions has slowed the pipeline and pace of contract awards, pushing revenue into subsequent periods. We continue to expect the geopolitical climate to drive adoption of our offerings over the long term, as it has heightened the need for advanced AI tools that provide enhanced intelligence and full spectrum cyber operations – areas where we have unmatched capabilities. While these conflicts are still evolving and the eventual outcome remains highly uncertain, we do not believe that these events will have a material impact on our business and results of operations. However, if these conflicts worsen, leading to greater disruptions and uncertainty within the technology industry or global economy, our business and results of operations could be negatively impacted.

We assess goodwill for impairment at least annually, as of October 1, and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. For the purposes of impairment testing, we have determined that we have two reporting units. Our test of goodwill impairment starts with a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test. If qualitative factors indicate that the fair value of the reporting unit is more likely than not less than its carrying amount, then a quantitative goodwill impairment test is performed.

Our quantitative goodwill impairment test reflected an allocation of 50% and 50% between the income and market-based approaches, respectively. Significant inputs into the valuation models included the discount rate, EBITDA growth and estimated future cash flows. We used a discount rate of 12.0%, guideline peer group and the historical and forward-looking revenue of the peer group in the goodwill impairment test. It was determined that there was no impairment for the three months ended September 30, 2024. We continued to evaluate these key assumptions and performed a qualitative analysis through December 31, 2024 and determined there was no impairment for the three months ended December 31, 2024.

Current wording

During the second quarter of fiscal 2025, we performed a triggering event analysis to determine if it was more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit was less than the carrying value. It was determined that there was a triggering event related to the downward revisions of the short and long-term forecasts. As a result of this assessment, we performed a quantitative impairment analysis and the Company recorded a $70.6 million non-cash impairment charge during the three months ended June 30, 2025. Our goodwill impairment test reflected an allocation of 50% and 50% between the income and market-based approaches, respectively. Significant inputs into the valuation models included the discount rate, EBITDA growth and estimated future cash flows. We used a discount rate of 12%, guideline peer group and their historical and forward-looking revenues in the goodwill impairment test. Subsequent to the impairment, there was no excess of reporting unit fair value over carrying value.

Previous wording

Because the fair value of the reporting unit approximated its carrying value, a negative change in the key assumptions used in the interim impairment analysis or an increase in the carrying value may result in a future impairment of goodwill. Any significant adverse changes in future periods to our internal forecasts or external market conditions could reasonably be expected to negatively affect our key assumptions and may result in future goodwill impairment charges which could be material. For example, keeping all other assumptions the same, an additional increase in the discount rate or an increase in the carrying value could result in an impairment of goodwill.

Current wording

Subsequent to the triggering event in December 2025, we consummated our acquisition of Ask Sage, resulting in the recognition of $192.7 million of goodwill to our reporting unit. Due to the proximity of the long-lived asset impairment and the acquisition of Ask Sage, the fair value of the reporting unit approximates its carrying value, and a negative change in the key assumptions used in the interim impairment analysis and the purchase price allocation or an increase in the carrying value may result in a future impairment of goodwill. Any significant adverse changes in future periods to our internal forecasts or external market conditions could reasonably be expected to negatively affect our key assumptions and may result in future goodwill impairment charges which could be material.

Previous wording

Identifiable finite-lived intangible assets, including technology and customer relationships, have been acquired through the Company’s various business combinations. The fair value of the acquired technology and customer relationships has been estimated using various underlying judgments, assumptions, and estimates. Potential changes in the underlying judgments, assumptions, and estimates used in our valuations of acquired intangible assets could result in different estimates of the future fair values. A potential increase in discount rates, a reduction in projected cash flows or a combination of the two could lead to a reduction in estimated fair values, which may result in impairment charges that could materially affect our financial statements in any given year. The approaches used for determining the fair value of finite-lived technology and customer relationships acquired depends on the circumstances; the Company has used the income approach (within the income approach, various methods are available such as multi-period excess earnings, with and without, incremental and relief from royalty methods). Within each income approach method, a tax amortization benefit is included, which represents the tax benefit resulting from the amortization of that intangible asset depending on the tax jurisdiction where the intangible asset is held.

Previous wording

Finite-lived intangible assets are reported at cost, net of accumulated amortization, and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Significant judgment is also required in assigning the respective useful lives of intangible assets. Our assessment of intangible assets that have a finite life is based on a number of factors including the competitive environment, market share, brand history, underlying product life cycles, attrition rate, operating plans, cash flows (i.e., economic life based on the discounted and undiscounted cash flows), future usage of intangible assets and the macroeconomic environment.

Previous wording

We evaluate the recoverability of our intangible assets for possible impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amounts to the future undiscounted cash flows the intangible assets are expected to generate. If such review indicates that the carrying amount of our intangible assets is not recoverable, the carrying amount of such assets is reduced to fair value.

Previous wording

The Company engages in long-term contracts for production and service activities and generally recognizes revenue over time (versus point in time recognition) due to the fact that the Company’s ongoing performance creates an asset with no alternative use to the Company and the Company has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. The Company considers the nature of these contracts and the types of solutions and services provided when determining the proper accounting for a particular contract. The Company performs under various types of contracts, which generally include firm-fixed-price (“FFP”), time-and-materials (“T&M”), and cost-reimbursable contracts.

Previous wording

At the inception of a contract, the Company estimates the transaction price based on its current rights and does not contemplate future modifications (including unexercised options) or follow-on contracts until they become legally enforceable. Contracts are often subsequently modified to include changes in specifications, requirements or price, which may create new or change existing enforceable rights and obligations. Depending on the nature of the modification, the Company considers whether to account for the modification as an adjustment to the existing contract or as a separate contract. Our contracts with the U.S. Government often contain options to renew existing contracts for an additional period of time (generally a year at a time) under the same terms and conditions as the original contract, and generally do not provide the customer any material rights under the contract. Therefore, such modifications are accounted for as if they were part of the existing contract and recognized as a cumulative adjustment to revenue. We account for renewal options as separate contracts when they include distinct goods or services at standalone selling prices.

Previous wording

For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on the estimated standalone selling price of the solution or service underlying each performance obligation. In circumstances where the standalone selling price is not directly observable, we estimate the standalone selling price using the expected cost-plus margin approach.

In circumstances where the standalone selling price is not directly observable, we estimate the standalone selling price using the expected cost-plus margin or residual approach. An increase or decrease to estimated standalone selling prices of 10% would not have a significant impact to revenue recognition.
