On August 29, 2022, Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. ("JEGI"), the predecessor to Jacobs Solutions Inc., implemented a holding company structure, which resulted in Jacobs Solutions Inc. becoming the parent company of, and successor issuer to, JEGI (the "Holding Company Reorganization"). For purposes of this report, references to Jacobs and the "Company", "we", "us" or "our" or our management or business at any point prior to the Holding Company Implementation Date refer to JEGI, or JEGI and its consolidated subsidiaries as the predecessor to Jacobs Solutions Inc.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements and financial information included herein have been prepared pursuant to the interim period reporting requirements of Form 10-Q. Consequently, certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. Readers of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should also read our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 29, 2023 (“2023 Form 10-K”).

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of our consolidated financial statements as of March 29, 2024, and for the three and six months ended March 29, 2024.

Our interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

On November 20, 2023, Jacobs entered into a definitive agreement to spin-off and combine our Critical Mission Solutions ("CMS") and portions of our Divergent Solutions business, including Cyber & Intelligence (the "Separated Businesses") with Amentum Parent Holdings LLC ("Amentum"), in a Reverse Morris Trust transaction intended to be tax-free to Jacobs’ shareholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes (hereinafter referred to as the “Separation Transaction”). The Separation Transaction, which is expected to close in fiscal year 2024, is subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.

On April 26, 2019, Jacobs completed the sale of its Energy, Chemicals and Resources ("ECR") business to Worley Limited ("Worley"), a company incorporated in Australia, for a purchase price of $3.4 billion consisting of (i) $2.8 billion in cash plus (ii) 58.2 million ordinary shares of Worley, subject to adjustments for changes in working capital and certain other items (the “ECR sale”). As a result of the ECR sale, substantially all ECR-related assets and liabilities were sold (the "Disposal Group"). We determined that the Disposal Group should be reported as discontinued operations in accordance with ASC 210-05, Discontinued Operations because their disposal represents a strategic shift that had a major effect on our operations and financial results. As such, the financial results of the ECR business are reflected in our unaudited Consolidated Statements of Earnings as discontinued operations for all periods presented and all of the ECR business to be sold under the terms of the ECR sale had been conveyed to Worley and as such, no amounts remain held for sale.

2. Use of Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to employ estimates and make assumptions that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities; the revenues and expenses reported for the periods covered by the financial statements; and certain amounts disclosed in these Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Although such estimates and assumptions are based on management’s most recent assessment of the underlying facts and circumstances utilizing the most current information available and past experience, actual results could differ significantly from those estimates and assumptions. Our estimates, judgments and assumptions are evaluated periodically and adjusted accordingly.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)

Please refer to Note 2- Significant Accounting Policies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2023 Form 10-K for a discussion of other significant estimates and assumptions affecting our consolidated financial statements.

3. Fair Value and Fair Value Measurements

Certain amounts included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the date fair value is determined (the “measurement date”). When determining fair value, we consider the principal or most advantageous market in which we would transact, and we consider only those assumptions we believe a typical market participant would consider when pricing an asset or liability. In measuring fair value, we use the following inputs in the order of priority indicated:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, such as (i) quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; (ii) quoted prices in markets that have insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (e.g., less active markets); and (iii) model-driven valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated with, observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the fair value measurement.

Please refer to Note 2- Significant Accounting Policies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2023 Form 10-K for a more complete discussion of the various items within the consolidated financial statements measured at fair value and the methods used to determine fair value. Please also refer to Note 17- Commitments and Contingencies and Derivative Financial Instruments for discussion regarding the Company's derivative instruments.

The net carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and payables and short-term debt approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. See Note 12- Borrowings for a discussion of the fair value of long-term debt.

Fair value measurements relating to our business combinations and goodwill allocations related to our Divergent Solutions ("DVS") segment realignment were made primarily using Level 3 inputs including discounted cash flow techniques. Fair value for the identified intangible assets is generally estimated using inputs primarily for the income approach using the multiple period excess earnings method and the relief from royalties method. The significant assumptions used in estimating fair value include (i) revenue projections of the business, including profitability, (ii) attrition rates and (iii) the estimated discount rate that reflects the level of risk associated with receiving future cash flows. Other personal property assets, such as furniture, fixtures and equipment, are valued using the cost approach, which is based on replacement or reproduction costs of the asset less depreciation. The fair value of the contingent consideration is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation and the significant assumptions used include projections of revenues and probabilities of meeting those projections. Key inputs to the valuation of the noncontrolling interests include projected cash flows and the expected volatility associated with those cash flows.

4. New Accounting Pronouncements

ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes, (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, provides qualitative and quantitative updates to the Company's effective income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disclosures, among others, in order to enhance the transparency of income tax disclosures, including consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and disaggregation by jurisdiction of income taxes paid. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively; however, retrospective application is also permitted. ASU 2023-09 will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2026. The Company has identified and is implementing changes to processes and internal controls to meet the standard’s updated reporting and disclosure requirements.

ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting, (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, requires disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items to reconcile to segment profit or loss, and the title and position of the entity’s CODM. The amendments in this update also expand the interim segment disclosure requirements. ASU 2023-07 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments in this update are required to be applied on a retrospective basis. ASU 2023-07 will be effective for the Company's annual fiscal 2025 period. The Company is evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

ASU 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements: Amendments - Codification Amendments in Response to the Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued the standard to introduce changes to US GAAP that originate in either SEC Regulation S-X or S-K, which are rules about the form and content of financial reports filed with the SEC. The provisions of the standard are contingent upon instances where the SEC removes the related disclosure provisions from Regulation S-X and S-K. The Company does not expect that the application of this standard will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

5. Revenue Accounting for Contracts

Disaggregation of Revenues

Our revenues are principally derived from contracts to provide a diverse range of technical, professional, and construction services to a large number of industrial, commercial, and governmental clients. We provide a broad range of engineering, design, and architectural services; construction and construction management services; operations and maintenance services; and technical, digital, process, scientific and systems consulting services. We provide our services through offices and subsidiaries located primarily in North America, Europe, the Middle East, India, Australia, Africa, and Asia. We provide our services under cost-reimbursable and fixed-price contracts. Our contracts are with many different customers in numerous industries. Refer to Note 18- Segment Information for additional information on how we disaggregate our revenues by reportable segment.

JACOBS SOLUTIONS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)

The following table further disaggregates our revenue by geographic area for the three and six months ended March 29, 2024 and March 31, 2023 (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	March 29, 2024		March 31, 2023		March 29, 2024		March 31, 2023
Revenues:
United States	$	2,878,888	$	2,694,735	$	5,676,979	$	5,231,013
Europe	957,651		931,093		1,882,798		1,785,666
Canada	61,654		61,887		125,030		123,716
Asia	34,673		35,641		65,613		70,463
India	37,274		46,829		73,017		87,173

Total	$	4,269,093	$	4,078,332	$	8,428,318	$	7,877,001

Contract Liabilities

Contract liabilities represent amounts billed to clients in excess of revenue recognized to date. Revenue recognized for the three and six months ended March 29, 2024 that was previously included in the contract liability balance on September 29, 2023 was $105.2 million and $474.9 million, respectively. Revenue recognized for the three and six months ended March 31, 2023 that was included in the contract liability balance on September 30, 2022 was $82.7 million and $413.0 million, respectively.

Remaining Performance Obligation

The Company’s remaining performance obligations as of March 29, 2024 represent a measure of the total dollar value of work to be performed on contracts awarded and in progress. The Company had approximately $17.5 billion in remaining performance obligations as of March 29, 2024. The Company expects to recognize approximately 56% of its remaining performance obligations into revenue within the next twelve months and the remaining 44% thereafter. The majority of the remaining performance obligations after the first twelve months are expected to be recognized over a four year period.

Although our remaining performance obligations reflect business volumes that are considered to be firm, normal business activities including scope adjustments, deferrals or cancellations may occur that impact volume or expected timing of their recognition. Remaining performance obligations are adjusted to reflect any known project cancellations, revisions to project scope and cost, foreign currency exchange fluctuations and project deferrals, as appropriate.

6. Earnings Per Share and Certain Related Information

Basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) are computed using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation method that determines EPS for common shares and participating securities. The undistributed earnings are allocated between common shares and participating securities as if all earnings had been distributed during the period. Participating securities and common shares have equal rights to undistributed earnings. Net earnings used for the purpose of determining basic and diluted EPS is determined by taking net earnings, less earnings available to participating securities and the preferred redeemable noncontrolling interests redemption value adjustment associated with the PA Consulting transaction.

The following table reconciles the denominator used to compute basic EPS to the denominator used to compute diluted EPS for the three and six months ended March 29, 2024 and March 31, 2023 (in thousands):

Share Repurchases


On January 16, 2020, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $1.0 billion of the Company's common stock (the "2020 Repurchase Authorization"). The 2020 Repurchase Authorization expired on January 15, 2023. On January 25, 2023, the Company's Board of Directors authorized an incremental share repurchase program of up to $1.0 billion of the Company's common stock, to expire on January 25, 2026 (the "2023 Repurchase Authorization"). At March 29, 2024, the Company has $679.4 million remaining under the 2023 Repurchase Authorization.

Share repurchases may be executed through various means including, without limitation, accelerated share repurchases, open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, purchases pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 plans or otherwise. The authorization for the share repurchase programs may be terminated, increased or decreased by the Company’s Board of Directors in its discretion at any time. The timing, amount and manner of share repurchases may depend upon market conditions and economic circumstances, availability of investment opportunities, the availability and costs of financing, currency fluctuations, the market price of the Company's common stock, other uses of capital and other factors.

Dividends

On May 2, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.29 per share of the Company’s common stock to be paid on June 21, 2024, to shareholders of record on the close of business on May 24, 2024.

Other information about receivables:
Amounts due from the United States federal government, included above, net of contract liabilities	$	799,371	$	802,566

Amounts billed, net consist of amounts invoiced to clients in accordance with the terms of our client contracts and are shown net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. We anticipate that substantially all of such billed amounts will be collected over the next twelve months.

Unbilled receivables and other, which represent an unconditional right to payment subject only to the passage of time, are reclassified to amounts billed when they are billed under the terms of the contract. We anticipate that substantially all of such unbilled amounts will be billed and collected over the next twelve months.

Contract assets represent unbilled amounts where the right to payment is subject to more than merely the passage of time and includes performance-based incentives and services that have been provided in advance of agreed contractual milestones. Contract assets are transferred to unbilled receivables when the right to consideration becomes unconditional and are transferred to amounts billed upon invoicing.

9. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

(1) Included in the overall foreign currency translation adjustment for the six months ended March 29, 2024 and March 31, 2023 are $(21.2) million and $(87.2) million, respectively, in unrealized gains (losses) on long-term foreign currency denominated intercompany loans not anticipated to be settled in the foreseeable future.

(2) Included in the Company’s cumulative net unrealized gains from interest rate and cross currency swaps recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income as of March 29, 2024 were approximately $20.2 million in unrealized gains, net of taxes, which are expected to be realized in earnings during the twelve months subsequent to March 29, 2024.

10. Income Taxes


The Company’s effective tax rates from continuing operations for the three months ended March 29, 2024 and March 31, 2023 were 27.9% and 7.6%, respectively. The most significant items contributing to the difference between the statutory U.S. federal corporate tax rate of 21% and the Company's effective tax rate for the three-month period ended March 29, 2024 were U.S. state income tax expense of $4.0 million and U.S. tax on foreign earnings of $5.5 million. These expense items are expected to have a continuing impact on the Company's effective tax rate for the remainder of the fiscal year. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the main differences were attributable to a tax benefit of $40.2 million related to uncertain tax positions (“UTPs”) in the U.S. that were effectively settled, of which $30.8 million relates to positions carried forward from the acquisition of CH2M Hill Companies Ltd. that was completed in 2018, as well as a tax benefit of $8.6 million for the release of previously valued foreign tax credits. These benefits were partly offset by U.S. state income tax expense of $5.9 million and U.S. tax on foreign earnings of $4.6 million.

The Company's effective tax rates from continuing operations for the six months ended March 29, 2024 and March 31, 2023 were 12.6% and 15.4%, respectively. The most significant item contributing to the difference between the statutory U.S. federal corporate tax rate of 21% and the Company’s effective tax rate for the six-month period ended March 29, 2024 related to a discrete event associated with the election to treat an Australian subsidiary as a corporation versus a partnership for U.S. tax purposes, with this election resulting in the derecognition of a deferred tax liability and yielding a discrete income tax benefit of $61.6 million as the Company asserts that a component of the investment will be indefinitely reinvested. This benefit was partly offset by U.S. state income tax expense of $7.3 million and U.S. tax on foreign earnings of $8.6 million, which are expected to have a continuing impact on the Company's effective tax rate for the remainder of the fiscal year. For the six months ended March 31, 2023, the main differences were associated with net tax benefits of $39.0 million mostly related to UTPs mentioned above and a tax benefit of $8.6 million for the release of previously valued foreign tax credits, partly offset by U.S. state income tax expense of $10.5 million and U.S. tax on foreign earnings of $8.2 million.

The amount of income taxes the Company pays is subject to ongoing audits by tax jurisdictions around the world. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by tax authorities throughout the world, including such major jurisdictions as Australia, Canada, India, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the United States. Our estimate of the potential outcome of any uncertain tax issue is subject to our assessment of the relevant risks, facts, and circumstances existing at the time. The Company believes that it has adequately provided for reasonably foreseeable outcomes related to these matters. However, future results may include favorable or unfavorable adjustments to our estimated tax liabilities in the period the assessments are made or resolved, which may impact our effective tax rate.

11. Joint Ventures, VIEs and Other Investments

For the Company's consolidated variable interest entities ("VIE") joint ventures, the carrying value of assets and liabilities was $391.8 million and $244.3 million, respectively, as of March 29, 2024 and $424.2 million and $279.8 million, respectively, as of September 29, 2023. There are no consolidated VIEs that have debt or credit facilities.

For the Company's proportionate consolidated VIEs, the carrying value of assets and liabilities was $128.9 million and $126.0 million, respectively, as of March 29, 2024, and $132.0 million and $128.9 million, respectively, as of September 29, 2023.

The carrying values of our investments in equity method joint ventures in the Consolidated Balance Sheets (reported in Other Noncurrent Assets: Miscellaneous) as of March 29, 2024 and September 29, 2023 were $54.4 million and $49.6 million, respectively. Additionally, income from equity method joint ventures (reported in Revenue) was $15.2 million and $7.5 million, respectively, during the three months ended March 29, 2024 and March 31, 2023, with $25.5 million and $17.5 million, respectively, for the corresponding six month periods. As of March 29, 2024, the Company's equity method investment carrying values do not include material amounts exceeding their share of the respective joint ventures' reported net assets.

Accounts receivable from unconsolidated joint ventures accounted for under the equity method was $14.4 million and $16.1 million as of March 29, 2024 and September 29, 2023, respectively.

The Company and certain of its subsidiaries maintain a sustainability-linked $2.25 billion unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) established under a third amended and restated credit agreement, dated February 6, 2023 (the "Revolving Credit Agreement"), among Jacobs and certain of its subsidiaries as borrowers and a syndicate of U.S. and international banks and financial institutions. The credit extensions under the Revolving Credit Facility can be funded in U.S. dollars, British Sterling, Euros, Canadian dollars, Australian dollars, Swedish Krona, Singapore dollars and other agreed upon alternative currencies. The Revolving Credit Agreement also provides for a financial letter of credit sub facility of $400.0 million, permits performance letters of credit, and provides for a $100.0 million sub facility for swing line loans. Letters of credit are subject to fees based on the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio and Debt Rating, whichever is more favorable to the Company.

The Revolving Credit Agreement amended and restated the second amended and restated credit agreement dated March 27, 2019, by and among JEGI and certain of its subsidiaries and a syndicate of banks and financial institutions, in order to, among other things, (a) extend the maturity date of the Revolving Credit Facility to February 6, 2028, (b) replace and adjust interest rates based on market conditions and incorporate a sustainability-linked pricing adjustment, (c) revise the commitment fee on the unused portion of the facility to a range of 0.10% to 0.25% depending on the higher of the pricing level associated with JEGI's Debt Rating or the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, (d) increase the Consolidated Leverage Ratio financial covenant to 3.50:1.00 (subject to temporary increases to 4.00:1.00 following the closing of certain material acquisitions), (e) eliminate the net worth financial covenant and (f) add the Company as a guarantor of the obligations of JEGI and its subsidiaries under the Revolving Credit Agreement.

JEGI borrowed $200.0 million and £650.0 million of term loans under the 2021 Term Loan Facility (reflecting scheduled maturities in February 2026 and September 2025, respectively) and the proceeds of such term loans were used primarily to fund JEGI's investment in PA Consulting. The Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement amended and restated the term loan agreement dated January 15, 2021, by and among JEGI and a syndicate of U.S. banks and financial institutions to, among other things: (a) extend the maturity date of the U.S. dollar term loan to February 6, 2026 and the British sterling term loan to September 1, 2025, (b) replace and adjust interest rates based on market conditions and incorporate a sustainability-linked pricing adjustment, (c) increase the Consolidated Leverage Ratio financial covenant to 3.50:1.00 (subject to temporary increases to 4.00:1.00 following the closing of certain material acquisitions), (d) eliminate the net worth financial covenant, and (e) add Jacobs as a guarantor of the obligations of JEGI under the Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement.

Under the 2020 Term Loan Facility, JEGI borrowed an aggregate principal amount of $730.0 million and Jacobs U.K. borrowed an aggregate principal amount of £250.0 million. The proceeds of the term loans were used to repay an existing term loan with a maturity date of June 2020 and for general corporate purposes. On February 6, 2023, the 2020 Term Loan Agreement was amended to, among other things: (a) replace and adjust interest rates based on market conditions and incorporate a sustainability-linked pricing adjustment, (b) increase the Consolidated Leverage Ratio financial covenant to 3.50:1.00 (subject to temporary increases to 4.00:1.00 following the closing of certain material acquisitions), (c) eliminate the net worth financial covenant, and (d) add Jacobs as a guarantor of the obligations of JEGI and Jacobs U.K. The 2020 Term Loan facility matures in March 2025 and the related outstanding balances under this facility have been reclassified to current maturities of long-term debt in the Company’s March 29, 2024 consolidated balance sheet in the current quarter.

17. Commitments and Contingencies and Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk under its variable rate borrowings and additionally, due to the nature of the Company's international operations, we are at times exposed to foreign currency risk. As such, we sometimes enter into foreign exchange hedging contracts and interest rate hedging contracts in order to limit our exposure to fluctuating foreign currencies and interest rates.

During fiscal 2022, the Company entered into two treasury lock agreements with a total notional value of $500 million to manage its interest rate exposure to the anticipated issuance of fixed rate debt before December 2023. On February 13, 2023, the Company settled these treasury lock agreements and issued the 5.90% Bonds in the aggregate principal amount of $500 million, which resulted in the receipt of cash and a gain of $37.4 million, before tax, which is being amortized to interest expense and recognized over the term of the 5.90% Bonds. See Note 12- Borrowings for further discussion relating to the terms of the 5.90% Bonds. The unrealized net gain on these instruments was $25.1 million and $26.5 million, net of tax, and is included in accumulated other comprehensive income as of March 29, 2024 and September 29, 2023, respectively.

In fiscal 2020 we entered into interest rate swap agreements with a notional value of $745.9 million as of March 29, 2024 to manage the interest rate exposure on our variable rate loans. By entering into the swap agreements, the Company converted the LIBOR and SONIA rate based liabilities into fixed rate liabilities, for periods ranging from five to ten years. The fair value of the interest rate swaps at March 29, 2024 was $79.1 million of which $66.2 million is included within miscellaneous other assets and $12.9 million is included within current assets on the consolidated balance sheet as of March 29, 2024. The fair value of interest rate swaps at September 29, 2023 was $102.6 million, which are included in miscellaneous other assets on the consolidated balance sheet as of September 29, 2023. The unrealized net gain on these interest rate swaps as of March 29, 2024 and September 29, 2023 was $59.6 million and $77.2 million, respectively, net of tax, and was included in accumulated other comprehensive income.

Additionally, in fiscal 2020, we entered into a cross currency swap agreement with a notional value of $127.8 million to manage the interest rate and foreign currency exposure on our USD borrowings by a European subsidiary. By entering into the cross currency swap, the Company converted our LIBOR rate based borrowing in USD to a fixed rate Euro liability for three and a half years. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company paid down the borrowings hedged by the cross currency swap and settled the cross currency swap agreement.

During fiscal 2023, the aggregate liability amounts denominated in U.S. dollars transitioned from underlying LIBOR benchmarked rates to the SOFR and the terms of the swaps were amended accordingly. The swaps were designated as cash-flow hedges in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging.

Additionally, the Company held foreign exchange forward contracts in currencies that support our operations, including British Pound, Euro, Australian Dollar and other currencies, with notional values of $946.1 million at March 29, 2024 and $857.7 million at September 29, 2023. The length of these contracts currently ranges from one week to 10 months. The fair value of the foreign exchange contracts at March 29, 2024 was $(4.3) million, of which $(4.9) million is included within current liabilities and $0.6 million is included within current assets on the consolidated balance sheet as of March 29, 2024. The fair value of the contracts as of September 29, 2023 was $9.5 million, of which $16.1 million is included within current assets and $(6.6) million is included within current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet as of September 29, 2023. Associated income statement impacts are included in miscellaneous income (expense) in the consolidated statements of earnings for both periods.

The fair value measurements of these derivatives are being made using Level 2 inputs under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, as the measurements are based on observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets. We are exposed to risk from credit-related losses resulting from nonperformance by counterparties to our financial instruments. We perform credit evaluations of our counterparties under forward exchange and interest rate contracts and expect all counterparties to meet their obligations. We have not experienced credit losses from our counterparties.

Contractual Guarantees and Insurance

In the normal course of business, we make contractual commitments (some of which are supported by separate guarantees) and on occasion we are a party in a litigation or arbitration proceeding. The litigation or arbitration in which we are involved includes personal injury claims, professional liability claims and breach of contract claims. Where we provide a separate guarantee, it is strictly in support of the underlying contractual commitment. Guarantees take various forms including surety bonds required by law, or standby letters of credit ("LOC" and also referred to as “bank guarantees”) or corporate guarantees given to induce a party to enter into a contract with a subsidiary. Standby LOCs are also used as security for advance payments or in various other transactions. The guarantees have various expiration dates ranging from an arbitrary date to completion of our work (e.g., engineering only) to completion of the overall project. We record in the Consolidated Balance Sheets amounts representing our estimated liability relating to such guarantees, litigation and insurance claims. Guarantees are accounted for in accordance with ASC 460-10, Guarantees, at fair value at the inception of the guarantee.

At March 29, 2024 and September 29, 2023, the Company had issued and outstanding approximately $289.7 million and $322.0 million, respectively, in LOCs and $2.2 billion and $2.0 billion, respectively, in surety bonds.

We maintain insurance coverage for most insurable aspects of our business and operations. Our insurance programs have varying coverage limits depending upon the type of insurance and include certain conditions and exclusions which insurance companies may raise in response to any claim that is asserted by or against the Company. We have also elected to retain a portion of losses and liabilities that occur through using various deductibles, limits, and retentions under our insurance programs. As a result, we may be subject to a future liability for which we are only partially insured or completely uninsured. We intend to mitigate any such future liability by continuing to exercise prudent business judgment in negotiating the terms and conditions of the contracts which the Company enters with its clients. Our insurers are also subject to business risk and, as a result, one or more of them may be unable to fulfill their insurance obligations due to insolvency or otherwise.

Additionally, as a contractor providing services to the U.S. federal government, we are subject to many types of audits, investigations, and claims by, or on behalf of, the government including with respect to contract performance, pricing, cost allocations, procurement practices, labor practices, and socioeconomic obligations. Furthermore, our income, franchise, and similar tax returns and filings are also subject to audit and investigation by the Internal Revenue Service, most states within the United States, as well as by various government agencies representing jurisdictions outside the United States.

Our Consolidated Balance Sheets include amounts representing our probable estimated liability relating to such claims, guarantees, litigation, audits, and investigations. We perform an analysis to determine the level of reserves to establish for insurance-related claims that are known and have been asserted against us, as well as for insurance-related claims that are believed to have been incurred based on actuarial analysis but have not yet been reported to our claims administrators as of the respective balance sheet dates. We include any adjustments to such insurance reserves in our consolidated results of operations. Insurance recoveries are recorded as assets if recovery is probable and estimated liabilities are not reduced by expected insurance recoveries.

The Company believes, after consultation with counsel, that such guarantees, litigation, U.S. government contract-related audits, investigations and claims, and income tax audits and investigations should not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements, beyond amounts currently accrued.

Litigation and Investigations

In 2012, CH2M HILL Australia PTY Limited, a subsidiary of CH2M, entered into a 50/50 integrated joint venture with Australian construction contractor UGL Infrastructure Pty Limited. The joint venture entered into a Consortium Agreement with General Electric and GE Electrical International Inc. The Consortium was awarded a subcontract by JKC Australia LNG Pty Limited ("JKC") for the engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning of a 360 MW Combined Cycle Power Plant for INPEX Operations Australia Pty Limited at Blaydin Point, Darwin, NT, Australia (the "Legacy CH2M Matter"). The subcontract was terminated in January 2017. In or around August 2017, the Consortium commenced an arbitration. On April 12, 2022, JKC and the Consortium entered into a confidential deed of settlement (“Settlement Agreement”). Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, CH2M, as guarantor of CH2M Australia PTY Limited’s obligations with respect to the subcontract with JKC, made a cash payment to JKC in April 2022 of AUD 640 million (or approximately $475 million using mid-April 2022 exchange rates). As a result of the settlement agreement, additional pre-tax charges of $91.3 million were recorded during the year ended September 30, 2022 for this matter (over amounts previously reserved and reported in long-term Other Deferred Liabilities in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet). The Settlement Agreement provided for a release of claims between JKC and each member of the Consortium, and in connection with this agreement the members of the Consortium also waived all claims against each other and their respective parent guarantors relating to the project.

On December 22, 2008, a coal fly ash pond at the Kingston Power Plant of the Tennessee Valley Authority ("TVA") was breached, releasing fly ash waste into the Emory River and surrounding community. In February 2009, TVA awarded a contract to the Company to provide project management services associated with the clean-up. All remediation and dredging were completed in August 2013 by other contractors under direct contracts with TVA. The Company did not perform the remediation, and its scope was limited to program management services. Certain employees of the contractors performing the cleanup work on the project filed lawsuits against the Company beginning in August 2013, alleging they were injured due to the Company's failure to protect the plaintiffs from exposure to fly ash, and asserting related personal injuries. The primary case, Greg Adkisson, et al. v. Jacobs Engineering Group Inc., case No. 3:13-CV-505-TAV-HBG, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee, consisted of 10 consolidated cases. This case and the related cases involved several hundred plaintiffs that were employees of the contractors that completed the remediation and dredging work. In the second quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the plaintiffs whose cases had not been previously dismissed. As of the third quarter of fiscal 2023, all conditions to the settlement had been satisfied, and the cases dismissed. The amount of the settlement was not material to the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company recorded a receivable for certain expected third-party recoveries equal to approximately $27 million before tax, which was collected during first half of fiscal 2023.

18. Segment Information

The Company's four operating segments are comprised of its two global lines of business ("LOBs"): Critical Mission Solutions ("CMS") and People & Places Solutions ("P&PS"), its business unit Divergent Solutions ("DVS") and its majority investment in PA Consulting.

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer is the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) and can evaluate the performance of each of these segments and make appropriate resource allocations among each of the segments. Under this organization, the sales function is managed by segment, and accordingly, the associated cost is embedded in the segments and reported to the respective head of each segment. In addition, a portion of the costs of other support functions (e.g., finance, legal, human resources, and information technology) is allocated to each segment using methodologies which, we believe, effectively attribute the cost of these support functions to the revenue generating activities of the Company on a rational basis. The cost of the Company’s cash incentive plan, the Leadership Performance Plan ("LPP"), formerly named the Management Incentive Plan, and the expense associated with the Jacobs 1999 Stock Incentive Plan, which was amended and restated in the second quarter of 2023 and is now referred to as the Jacobs 2023 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2023 SIP") have likewise been charged to the segments except for those amounts determined to relate to the business as a whole (which amounts remain in other corporate expenses).

Financial information for each segment is reviewed by the CODM to assess performance and make decisions regarding the allocation of resources. The CODM evaluates the operating performance of our operating segments using segment operating profit, which is defined as margin less “corporate charges” (e.g., the allocated amounts described above). The Company incurs certain Selling, General and Administrative costs (“SG&A”) that relate to its business as a whole which are not allocated to the segments.

(1)			For the six months ended March 29, 2024, operating profit included an approximate $15 million pre-tax non-cash charge associated with an inventory write down during the fiscal 2024 period comprised of cumulative adjustments of immaterial inventory misstatements previously reported which would not have been material to any prior period financial statements nor to any amounts reported in the current period.
(2)			Other corporate expenses included intangibles amortization of $52.6 million and $50.5 million for the three months ended March 29, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively, and $103.8 million and $100.2 million, for the six months ended March 29, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively, along with approximately $11.0 million intangibles impairment charge in the six month period ended, March 29, 2024 . Additionally, the comparison of the six month period of fiscal 2024 to the corresponding 2023 period was unfavorably impacted by the one-time net favorable impact of $41 million relating mainly to changes in employee benefits programs in the prior year, partly offset by year over year favorable department spending as well as favorable impacts of corporate functional overhead cost recovery by our lines of business.

Included in the three months and six months ended March 31, 2023 were $10.1 million and $37.2 million, respectively, mainly in real estate impairment charges related to the Company's transformation initiatives.

In addition to historical information, this MD&A and other parts of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are statements that do not directly relate to any historical or current fact. When used herein, words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “plans,” “intends,” “future,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “can,” “may,” "target," "goal" and similar words are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements we make concerning the financial condition and results of operations and our expectations as to our future growth, prospects, financial outlook and business strategy for fiscal year 2024 or future fiscal years, including our expectations for the timing of completion of restructuring activities and savings to be realized from such activities, as well as the ability to effectuate the Separation Transaction on the expected terms and on the projected timeline, and any assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. Although such statements are based on management’s current estimates and expectations, and/or currently available competitive, financial, and economic data, forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain, and you should not place undue reliance on such statements as actual results may differ materially. We caution the reader that there are a variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from what is contained, projected or implied by our forward-looking statements. Such factors include uncertainties as to the timing of the Separation Transaction, the impact of the Separation Transaction on Jacobs' and the combined company's businesses if the transaction is completed, including a possible impact on Jacobs' credit profile and a possible decrease in the trading price of Jacobs' and/or the combined company's shares, the possibility that the Separation Transaction, if completed, may not qualify for the expected tax treatment, the ability to obtain all required regulatory approvals, the possibility that closing conditions for the Separation Transaction may not be satisfied or waived, on a timely basis or otherwise, the risk that any consents or approvals required in connection with the Separation Transaction may not be received, the risk that the Separation Transaction may not be completed on the terms or in the time frame expected by the parties, uncertainties as to our and our stockholders' respective ownership percentages of the combined company and the value to be derived from the disposition of Jacobs’ stake in the combined company, unexpected costs, charges or expenses resulting from the Separation Transaction, business and management strategies and the growth expectations of the combined company, the inability of Jacobs' and the combined company to retain and hire key personnel, customers or suppliers while the Separation Transaction is pending or after it is completed, and the ability of the Company to eliminate all stranded costs, as well as other factors related to our business, such as our ability to fully execute on our three-year corporate strategy, including our ability to invest in the tools needed to implement our strategy, competition from existing and future competitors in our target markets, our ability to achieve the cost-savings and synergies contemplated by our recent acquisitions within the expected time frames or to achieve them fully and to successfully integrate acquired businesses, the impact of acquisitions, strategic alliances, divestitures, and other strategic events resulting from evolving business strategies, including on the Company’s ability to maintain its culture and retain key personnel, the impact of any pandemic, and any resulting economic downturn on our results, prospects and opportunities, measures or restrictions imposed by governments and health officials in response to the pandemic, the timing of the award of projects and funding and potential changes to the amounts provided for, under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, as well as other legislation related to governmental spending, any changes in U.S. or foreign tax laws, statutes, rules, regulations or ordinances that may adversely impact our future financial positions or results of operations, financial market risks that may affect the Company, including by affecting the Company's access to capital, the cost of such capital and/or the Company's funding obligations under defined benefit pension and postretirement plans, as well as general economic conditions, including inflation and the actions taken by monetary authorities in response to inflation, changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, changes in capital markets, instability in the banking industry, or the impact of a possible recession or economic downturn on our results,

Page 34

prospects and opportunities, and geopolitical events and conflicts, among others. The impact of such matters includes, but is not limited to, the possible reduction in demand for certain of our product solutions and services and the delay or abandonment of ongoing or anticipated projects due to the financial condition of our clients and suppliers or to governmental budget constraints or changes to governmental budgetary priorities; the inability of our clients to meet their payment obligations in a timely manner or at all; potential issues and risks related to a significant portion of our employees working remotely; illness, travel restrictions and other workforce disruptions that have and could continue to negatively affect our supply chain and our ability to timely and satisfactorily complete our clients’ projects; difficulties associated with retaining and hiring additional employees; and the inability of governments in certain of the countries in which we operate to effectively mitigate the financial or other impacts of any future pandemics or infectious disease outbreaks on their economies and workforces and our operations therein. The foregoing factors and potential future developments are inherently uncertain, unpredictable and, in many cases, beyond our control. For a description of these and additional factors that may occur that could cause actual results to differ from our forward-looking statements, see Item 1A, Risk Factors included in our 2023 Form 10-K and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We undertake no obligation to release publicly any revisions or updates to any forward-looking statements. We encourage you to read carefully the risk factors, as well as the financial and business disclosures contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in other documents we file from time to time with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").

Overview – Three and Six Month Periods Ended March 29, 2024

Net earnings attributable to the Company from continuing operations for the second fiscal quarter ended March 29, 2024 were $162.9 million (or $1.29 per diluted share), a decrease of $53.7 million, from net earnings of $216.6 million (or $1.70 per diluted share) for the corresponding period last year. Current quarter favorable underlying operating performance compared to the prior year period was more than offset mainly by $52.3 million in pre-tax Restructuring and other charges and transaction costs due primarily to expenses incurred relating to the Separation Transaction (mainly professional services and employee separation costs), compared to fiscal 2023 amounts of $19.1 million mainly associated with the Company's transformation initiatives relating to real estate, which are discussed in Note 16- Restructuring and Other Charges. Further, our reported net earnings for the current year quarter were unfavorably impacted by an increase in income taxes of $48.2 million compared to the fiscal 2023 period, attributable mainly to a tax benefit in the prior year quarter of $40.2 million related to uncertain tax positions in the U.S. that were effectively settled as discussed in Note 10- Income Taxes.

For the six months ended March 29, 2024, net earnings attributable to the Company from continuing operations were $335.1 million (or $2.66 per diluted share), a decrease of $17.9 million, from net earnings of $352.9 million (or $2.77 per diluted share) for the corresponding period last year. Current favorable underlying operating performance compared to the prior year period was more than offset by approximately $98.5 million in Restructuring and other charges and transactions costs activities relating to the Separation Transaction for the current fiscal year-to-date period, compared to fiscal 2023 amounts of $38.7 million associated with the Company's transformation initiatives relating to real estate, which are discussed in Note 16- Restructuring and Other Charges. Further, the 2023 first fiscal quarter included a net favorable impact of approximately $15.0 million in overhead cost reductions associated mainly with one-time benefit program changes, which was offset in part by higher incentive and other compensation charges and higher investments in company technology platforms. Our reported net earnings for the first half of fiscal 2024 were also favorably impacted by lower income taxes of $18.2 million compared to the fiscal 2023 period, due mainly to a deferred income tax benefit of $61.6 million related to Australia in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and offset in part mainly by the uncertain tax positions in the U.S. that were effectively settled in the prior year period as mentioned above, combined with other current quarter income tax items further discussed in Note 10- Income Taxes. Finally, earnings attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests were $6.2 million lower for the six months ended March 29, 2024 due to lower net earnings results in our PA Consulting investment compared to the corresponding period last year.

Consolidated Results of Operations

Revenues for the second fiscal quarter of 2024 were $4.27 billion, an increase of $190.8 million, or 4.7%, from $4.08 billion for the corresponding period last year. For the six months ended March 29, 2024, revenues were $8.43 billion, an increase of $551.3 million, or 7.0%, from $7.88 billion for the corresponding period last year. Revenue increases for the quarterly year over year period were due mainly to the Company's P&PS business as well as increases seen in our CMS business. For the six month periods higher revenue levels in P&PS as well as across all of our lines of businesses contributed to our favorable revenue results. The P&PS business benefited primarily from stronger performance in its Advanced Facilities, Federal & Environmental and Energy & Power operations while our CMS business benefited from stronger performance in Energy, Security & Technology. Our revenues were favorably impacted by foreign currency translation of $31.4 million and $82.3 for the three and six months ended March 29, 2024, respectively, across our international businesses, as compared to an unfavorable impact of $109.0 million and $267.0 million for the three and six months ended March 31, 2023, respectively.

Gross profit for the second fiscal quarter of 2024 was $904.6 million, an increase of $14.3 million, or 1.6%, from $890.3 million from the corresponding period last year, with gross profit margins of 21.2% and 21.8% for the respective periods. Gross profit for the six months ended March 29, 2024 was $1.76 billion, an increase of $50.1 million, or 2.9%, from $1.71 billion from the corresponding period last year. Our gross profit margins were 20.8% and 21.6% for the six months ended March 29, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively. The Company's increase in gross profit was mainly attributable to higher revenues as mentioned above, with slight margin impacts from year over year mix as well as personnel cost impacts primarily in the six month period.

See Segment Financial Information discussion for further information on the Company’s results of operations at the operating segment.

SG&A expenses for the three and six months ended March 29, 2024 were $623.6 million and $1.27 billion respectively, compared to $600.4 million and $1.18 billion for the corresponding period last year, representing an

Page 39

increase of $23.2 million and $92.8 million or 3.9% and 7.9%, respectively. SG&A expenses for the three and six months ended March 29, 2024 were impacted by Restructuring and other charges of $47.4 million and $98.5 million respectively, primarily related to the Separation Transaction (mainly professional services and employee separation costs), in comparison to prior period Restructuring and other charges related to real estate related costs of $11.0 million and $38.7 million respectively. These unfavorable items were offset in part by department spend decreases compared to the prior year periods in connection with the Company's cost reduction programs. Also, SG&A expenses were impacted by unfavorable foreign currency translation of $4.6 million and $13.9 million, respectively, for the three and six months March 29, 2024 as compared to favorable impacts of $23.1 million and $50.6 million for the corresponding periods last year.

Net interest expense for the three and six months ended March 29, 2024 was $34.8 million and $69.9 million respectively, an increase of $1.8 million and decrease of $0.1 million from $33.0 million and $70.1 million, or 5.6% and 0.2%, respectively, for the corresponding periods last year. The increase in net interest expense for the three month period ended March 29, 2024 is due primarily to interest rates increasing throughout fiscal year 2023 and fiscal year 2024. The increase in interest expense was offset in part by higher interest rates on cash held and by the Company's lower overall levels of outstanding debt compared to the corresponding periods last year.

Miscellaneous expense, net for the three and six months ended March 29, 2024 of $4.6 million and $7.8 million, respectively, remained flat in comparison to $4.6 million and $7.8 million for the corresponding periods last year.

The Company’s effective tax rates from continuing operations for the three months ended March 29, 2024 and March 31, 2023 were 27.9% and 7.6%, respectively. The most significant items contributing to the difference between the statutory U.S. federal corporate tax rate of 21% and the Company's effective tax rate for the three-month period ended March 29, 2024 were U.S. state income tax expense of $4.0 million and U.S. tax on foreign earnings of $5.5 million. These expense items are expected to have a continuing impact on the Company's effective tax rate for the remainder of the fiscal year. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the main differences were attributable to a tax benefit of $40.2 million related to uncertain tax positions (“UTPs”) in the U.S. that were effectively settled, of which $30.8 million relates to positions carried forward from the acquisition of CH2M Hill Companies Ltd. that was completed in 2018, as well as a tax benefit of $8.6 million for the release of previously valued foreign tax credits. These benefits were partly offset by U.S. state income tax expense of $5.9 million and U.S. tax on foreign earnings of $4.6 million.

The Company's effective tax rates from continuing operations for the six months ended March 29, 2024 and March 31, 2023 were 12.6% and 15.4%, respectively. The most significant item contributing to the difference between the statutory U.S. federal corporate tax rate of 21% and the Company’s effective tax rate for the six-month period ended March 29, 2024 related to a discrete event associated with the election to treat an Australian subsidiary as a corporation versus a partnership for U.S. tax purposes, with this election resulting in the derecognition of a deferred tax liability and yielding a discrete income tax benefit of $61.6 million as the Company asserts that a component of the investment will be indefinitely reinvested. This benefit was partly offset by U.S. state income tax expense of $7.3 million and U.S. tax on foreign earnings of $8.6 million, which are expected to have a continuing impact on the Company's effective tax rate for the remainder of the fiscal year. For the six months ended March 31, 2023, the main differences were associated with net tax benefits of $39.0 million mostly related to UTPs mentioned above and a tax benefit of $8.6 million for the release of previously valued foreign tax credits, partly offset by U.S. state income tax expense of $10.5 million and U.S. tax on foreign earnings of $8.2 million.

The amount of income taxes the Company pays is subject to ongoing audits by tax jurisdictions around the world. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by tax authorities throughout the world, including such major jurisdictions as Australia, Canada, India, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the United States. Our estimate of the potential outcome of any uncertain tax issue is subject to our assessment of the relevant risks, facts, and circumstances existing at the time. The Company believes that it has adequately provided for reasonably foreseeable outcomes related to these matters. However, future results may include favorable or unfavorable adjustments to our estimated tax liabilities in the period the assessments are made or resolved, which may impact our effective tax rate.

Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests for the three and six months ended March 29, 2024 of $11.4 million and $21.3 million, respectively and $16.7 million and $27.7 million for the corresponding periods last year were lower primarily due to lower net earnings results in our PA Consulting investment compared to the prior year quarter.

Restructuring and Other Charges

Page 40

During fiscal 2023, the Company implemented restructuring initiatives relating to the Separation Transaction. The Company incurred approximately $19.8 million in fiscal 2023 and $19.7 million during the six months ended March 29, 2024, in pre-tax cash charges in connection with these initiatives. These actions, which are expected to be substantially completed before the end of fiscal 2025, are expected to result in estimated gross annualized pre-tax cash savings of approximately $94 million to $115 million. We will likely incur additional charges under this program through fiscal 2025, which are expected to result in additional savings in future periods.

During third quarter fiscal 2023, the Company approved a plan to improve business processes and cost structures of our PA Consulting investment by reorganizing senior management and reducing headcount. In connection with these initiatives, which are expected to be substantially complete before the end of fiscal 2024, the Company incurred approximately $14.3 million during fiscal 2023 and $4.2 million in the six months ending March 29, 2024, in pre-tax cash charges. These activities are expected to result in estimated gross annualized pre-tax cash savings of approximately $45 million to $60 million.

During fiscal 2023, the Company implemented restructuring and cost reduction initiatives relating to the formation of the reporting and operating segment, Divergent Solutions, which were substantially completed in fiscal 2023. The Company incurred approximately $7.5 million in pre-tax cash charges in connection with these initiatives during the year ended September 29, 2023. These actions are expected to result in estimated gross annualized pre-tax cash savings of approximately $20 million to $24 million.

During fiscal 2020 and continuing into fiscal 2023, the Company implemented further real estate rescaling efforts that were associated with its fiscal 2020 transformation program relating to real estate. These activities were substantially completed in fiscal 2023. In connection with these efforts, the Company has incurred $47.3 million and $72.4 million for the years ended September 29, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively, in pre-tax mainly non-cash charges. These actions resulted in non-cash savings related to the future amortization of lease right-of-use assets over the remaining lease terms. Additionally, the objective of these initiatives was to create a modern, flexible work platform tailored to employees’ needs due to globalization and digital advances and to create total emissions savings that will be realized as we continue to optimize our real estate footprint.

(1)			For the six months ended March 29, 2024, operating profit included an approximate $15 million pre-tax non-cash charge associated with an inventory write down during the fiscal 2024 period comprised of cumulative adjustments of immaterial inventory misstatements previously reported which would not have been material to any prior period financial statements nor to any amounts reported in the current period.

Additionally, the comparison of the six month period of fiscal 2024 to the corresponding 2023 period was unfavorably impacted by the one-time net favorable impact of $41 million relating mainly to changes in employee benefits programs in the prior year, partly offset by year over year favorable department spending as well as favorable impacts of corporate functional overhead cost recovery by our lines of business.

The increase in the three and six month periods is a result of higher year over year segment revenues mentioned above with partially offsetting impacts from higher corporate cost allocations versus the prior year period. Foreign currency translation had approximately $1.9 million and $5.4 million in favorable impacts on operating profit for the three and six months ended March 29, 2024, as compared to $9.5 million and $25.4 million in unfavorable impacts in the corresponding prior year periods.

Divergent Solutions


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	March 29, 2024		March 31, 2023		March 29, 2024		March 31, 2023
Revenue	$	224,040	$	241,224	$	478,220	$	455,690
Operating Profit	$	18,973	$	24,861	$	26,556	$	36,828


Revenues for the Divergent Solutions segment for the three and six months ended March 29, 2024 were $224.0 million and $478.2 million, respectively, a change of $(17.2) million and $22.5 million, or (7.1)% and 4.9%, from $241.2 million and $455.7 million for the corresponding periods last year. The decrease in revenue for the three months ended March 29, 2024 was mainly due to a national government program ending. The six month increase is due to a startup of new programs previously won in fiscal 2023. Foreign currency translation did not have a material impact on revenue in our Divergent Solutions segment for either period presented.

Operating profit for the segment was $19.0 million and $26.6 million, for the three and six months ended March 29, 2024, respectively, a decrease of $5.9 million and $10.3 million, or 23.7% and 27.9%, from $24.9 million and $36.8 million for the corresponding periods last year. The three month decrease is driven by higher software licensing revenue in the second quarter of fiscal 2023. Operating profit for the six month period reflected strong underlying performance in the Cyber & Intelligence business unit and the new programs previously won in fiscal 2023, although fully offset by an approximate one-time $15 million pre-tax non-cash charge associated with an inventory write down during the fiscal 2024 period. Foreign currency translation had an immaterial impact on operating profit in our Divergent Solutions segment for both periods presented.

PA Consulting


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	March 29, 2024		March 31, 2023		March 29, 2024		March 31, 2023
Revenue	$	293,967	$	300,987	$	599,968	$	583,030
Operating Profit	$	60,169	$	65,631	$	114,624	$	116,658


Revenues for the PA Consulting segment for the three and six months ended March 29, 2024 were $294.0 million and $600.0 million, respectively, a change of $(7.0) million and $16.9 million, or (2.3)% and 2.9%, from $301.0 million and $583.0 million in the corresponding periods last year. The three and six month changes are primarily due to growth in PA Consulting's Defence & Security, Public Sector, Energy & Utilities, and Advanced Facilities businesses with stronger growth during the first fiscal quarter. Foreign currency translation had approximately $12.4 million and $29.1 million in favorable impacts on revenues for the three and six months ended March 29, 2024, respectively, as compared to $30.7 million and $72.3 million in unfavorable impacts in the corresponding prior year periods.

Operating profit for the segment for the three and six months ended March 29, 2024 was $60.2 million and $114.6 million, respectively, a decrease of $5.5 million and $2.0 million, or 8.3% and 1.7%, from $65.6 million and $116.7 million in the corresponding periods last year, due mainly to impacts from changes in revenue noted above as well as impacts from timing of certain personnel related expenses incurred in connection with our cost management programs.

Other Corporate Expenses

Other corporate expenses for the three and six months ended March 29, 2024 were $117.3 million and $238.4 million, respectively, an increase of $9.7 million and $37.1 million, or 9.0% and 18.4%, from $107.6 million and $201.3 million for the corresponding periods last year. The three month period of fiscal 2024 was impacted mainly by increases in expense associated with certain contingent equity-based agreements in connection with our PA Consulting investment. The comparison of the six months period of fiscal 2024 to the corresponding 2023 period was further unfavorably impacted by a one-time net favorable impact of $41 million relating mainly to changes in employee benefits programs during first quarter 2023, partly offset by year over year favorable department spending as well as favorable impacts of

Page 44

corporate functional overhead cost recovery by our lines of business. Additionally, the fiscal 2024 year-to-date period reflects approximately $11 million in one-time non-cash intangibles impairment charges.

Included in other corporate expenses are costs and expenses which relate to general corporate activities as well as corporate-managed benefit and insurance programs. Such costs and expenses include: (i) those elements of SG&A expenses relating to the business as a whole; (ii) those elements of our incentive compensation plans relating to corporate personnel whose other compensation costs are not allocated to the LOBs; (iii) the amortization of intangible assets acquired as part of business combinations; (iv) the quarterly variances between the Company’s actual costs of certain of its self-insured integrated risk and employee benefit programs and amounts charged to the LOBs; and (v) certain adjustments relating to costs associated with the Company’s international defined benefit pension plans. In addition, other corporate expenses may also include from time to time certain adjustments to contract margins (both positive and negative) associated with projects, as well as other items, where it has been determined that such adjustments are not indicative of the performance of the related LOB.

Backlog Information

Backlog represents revenue we expect to realize for work to be completed by our consolidated subsidiaries and our proportionate share of work to be performed by unconsolidated joint ventures. Because of variations in the nature, size, expected duration, funding commitments, and the scope of services required by our contracts, the amount and timing of when backlog will be recognized as revenues includes significant estimates and can vary greatly between individual contracts.

Consistent with industry practice, substantially all of our contracts are subject to cancellation or termination at the option of the client, including our U.S. government work. While management uses all information available to determine backlog, at any given time our backlog is subject to changes in the scope of services to be provided as well as increases or decreases in costs relating to the contracts included therein. Backlog is not necessarily an indicator of future revenues.

Because certain contracts (e.g., contracts relating to large Engineering, Procurement & Construction ("EPC") projects as well as national government programs) can cause large increases to backlog in the fiscal period in which we recognize the award, and because many of our contracts require us to provide services that span over several fiscal quarters (and sometimes over fiscal years), we have presented our backlog on a year-over-year basis, rather than on a sequential, quarter-over-quarter basis.

Page 45

The following table summarizes our backlog at March 29, 2024 and March 31, 2023 (in millions):


	March 29, 2024		March 31, 2023
Critical Mission Solutions	$	8,453	$	8,136
People & Places Solutions	17,929		17,563
Divergent Solutions	2,682		2,956
PA Consulting	344		319
Total	$	29,408	$	28,974


The increase in backlog in Critical Mission Solutions from March 31, 2023 was primarily driven by growth and increased funding levels in the United Kingdom and U.S. nuclear remediation markets along with growth in the U.K. defense sector that offset slower growth in the U.S. Defense sector.

The increase in backlog in People & Places Solutions from March 31, 2023 was predominantly driven by growth in the Life Sciences and Energy markets.

The decrease in backlog in Divergent Solutions (DVS) from March 31, 2023 was primarily due to a major program ending prior than expected, as discussed above.

The increase in backlog in PA Consulting from March 31, 2023 was primarily driven by strategic focus on long-term projects as well as organic year-over-year growth of the business.

Consolidated backlog differs from the Company’s remaining performance obligations as defined by ASC 606 primarily because of contract change orders or new wins not yet processed and our national government contracts where our policy is to generally include in backlog the contract award, whether funded or unfunded excluding certain option periods while our remaining performance obligations represent a measure of the total dollar value of work to be performed on contracts awarded and in progress. Additionally, the Company does not include our proportionate share of backlog related to unconsolidated joint ventures in our remaining performance obligations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 29, 2024, our principal sources of liquidity consisted of $1.03 billion in cash and cash equivalents and $2.11 billion of available borrowing capacity under our $2.25 billion revolving credit agreement (the "Revolving Credit Facility"). We finance much of our operations and growth through cash generated by our operations.

Cash and cash equivalents at March 29, 2024 were $1.03 billion, representing an increase of $106.9 million from $926.6 million at September 29, 2023, the reasons for which are described below.

Our net cash flow provided by operations of $375.5 million during the six months ended March 29, 2024 was unfavorable by $58.8 million in comparison to the cash flow provided by operations of $434.3 million for the corresponding prior year period. The year-over-year decrease in cash from operations is due mainly to higher cash used for income tax payments and increases in accounts receivable, partly offset by higher cash generated from net earnings.

Our net cash used for investing activities for the six months ended March 29, 2024 was $57.3 million, compared to cash used for investing activities of $76.7 million in the corresponding prior year period, with this change due primarily to lower levels of additions to plant, property and equipment in the current year.

Our net cash used for financing activities of $230.8 million for the six months ended March 29, 2024 is driven by share repurchases of $195.5 million, $70.1 million in dividends to shareholders, and $24.4 million in net PA Consulting related redeemable noncontrolling interests purchase and issuance activity, partly offset by net proceeds from borrowings of $85.5 million. Cash used for financing activities in the corresponding prior year period was $336.0 million, due primarily to share repurchases of $140.5 million, $62.8 million in dividends to shareholders, $58.4 million in net PA Consulting related redeemable noncontrolling interests purchase and issuance activity, and net repayments from borrowings of $53.8 million.

At March 29, 2024, the Company had approximately $250.1 million in cash and cash equivalents held in the U.S. and $783.4 million held outside of the U.S. (primarily in the U.K., the Eurozone, Australia, India, Canada, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates), which is used primarily for funding operations in those regions. Other than the tax cost of

Page 46

repatriating funds to the U.S. (see Note 7- Income Taxes of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2023 Form 10-K), there are no material impediments to repatriating these funds to the U.S.

The Company had $289.7 million in letters of credit outstanding at March 29, 2024. Of this amount, $0.5 million was issued under the Revolving Credit Facility and $289.2 million was issued under separate, committed and uncommitted letter-of-credit facilities.

Long-term debt as of March 29, 2024 decreased by $648.6 million compared to September 29, 2023 primarily due to the reclassification of $785.7 million from long-term to short-term in March 2024 in connection with the March 25, 2025 scheduled maturity of the 2020 Term Loan Facility.

Under the Separation Transaction, Jacobs and its shareholders will own up to 63% of the combined company's common stock upon consummation of the transaction, the exact amount of which will be determined based on the achievement of certain fiscal year 2024 operating profit targets. Jacobs is also expected to receive $1 billion of cash proceeds at closing, subject to customary adjustments. The Company expects to use this cash received at closing to repay outstanding indebtedness. Jacobs is also expected to realize additional value after closing through the disposition of its retained equity stake in the combined company within 12 months.

On February 6, 2023, the Company refinanced its Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan Facilities, and on February 16, 2023, the Company issued the 5.90% Bonds in the aggregate principal amount of $500.0 million. On August 18, 2023, the Company issued the 6.35% Bonds in the aggregate principal amount of $600.0 million. See Note 12 - Borrowings for further discussion relating to the terms of the 5.90% Bonds, the 6.35% Bonds, the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan Facilities following the issuances and refinancing.

We believe we have adequate liquidity and capital resources to fund our projected cash requirements for the next twelve months based on the liquidity provided by our cash and cash equivalents on hand, our borrowing capacity and our continuing cash from operations.

We were in compliance with all of our debt covenants at March 29, 2024.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading, speculation or other similar purposes that would expose the Company to market risk. In the normal course of business, our results of operations are exposed to risks associated with fluctuations in interest rates and currency exchange rates.

Interest Rate Risk

Please see the Note 12- Borrowings in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements appearing under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which is incorporated herein by reference, for a discussion of the Revolving Credit Facility, Term Loan Facilities and Note Purchase Agreement.

Our Revolving Credit Facility, Term Loan Facilities and certain other debt obligations are subject to variable rate interest which could be adversely affected by an increase in interest rates. As of March 29, 2024, we had an aggregate of $1.92 billion in outstanding borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan Facilities. Interest on amounts borrowed under these agreements is subject to adjustment based on the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the credit agreements governing the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan Facilities). Depending on the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio, borrowings denominated in U.S. dollars under the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan Facilities bear interest at a SOFR rate plus a margin of between 0.975% and 1.725% or a base rate plus a margin of between 0.0% and 0.625% including applicable margins while borrowings denominated in British pounds under these respective facilities bear interest at an adjusted SONIA rate plus a margin of between 0.908% and 1.658%. Additionally, our Revolving Credit Facility, Term Loan Facilities and our 5.90% Bonds have interest rates subject to potential increases relating to certain ESG metrics as stipulated in the related agreements and as discussed in Note 12- Borrowings.

However, as discussed in Note 17- Commitments and Contingencies and Derivative Financial Instruments, we are party to swap agreements with an aggregate notional value of $745.9 million to convert the variable rate interest based liabilities associated with a corresponding amount of our debt into fixed interest rate liabilities, leaving $1.17 billion in principal amount subject to variable interest rate risk. Additionally, during fiscal 2022, we entered into two treasury lock arrangements with an aggregate notional value of $500.0 million, which were settled in the second quarter fiscal 2023, and are disclosed in further detail in Note 17- Commitments and Contingencies and Derivative Financial Instruments.

For the six months ended March 29, 2024, our weighted average borrowings that are subject to floating rate exposure were approximately $1.34 billion. If floating interest rates had increased by 1.00%, our interest expense for the six months ended March 29, 2024 would have increased by approximately $6.7 million.

Foreign Currency Risk

In situations where the Company incurs costs in currencies other than our functional currency, we sometimes enter into foreign exchange contracts to limit our exposure to fluctuating foreign currencies. We follow the provisions of ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging in accounting for our derivative contracts. The Company has $946.1 million in notional value of exchange rate sensitive instruments at March 29, 2024. See Note 17- Commitments and Contingencies and Derivative Financial Instruments for discussion.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are those controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

The Company’s management, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined by Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act defined above, as of March 29, 2024, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer) concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as of the Evaluation Date, were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting which were identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act during the quarter ended March 29, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Share Repurchases

On January 25, 2023, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $1.0 billion of the Company's stock, to expire on January 25, 2026 (the "2023 Repurchase Authorization"). A summary of repurchases of the Company’s common stock made during the second quarter of fiscal 2024 under the 2023 Share Repurchase Authorization follows:


Period	Total Number of Shares Purchased	Average Price Per Share (1)	Total Number of Shares Purchased under the 2023 Repurchase Authorization	Approximate Dollar Value of Shares that May Yet Be Purchased Under the 2023 Repurchase Authorization
February 14, 2024 - February 23, 2024	150,475	$145.66	150,475	$752,900,871
February 26, 2024 - March 28, 2024	488,947	$150.38	488,947	$679,372,362

(1)Includes commissions paid and excise tax due under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 and calculated at the average price per share.

Our share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to purchase any shares. Share repurchases may be executed through various means including, without limitation, accelerated share repurchases, open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, purchases pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 plans or otherwise. The authorization for the share repurchase programs may be terminated, increased or decreased by the Company’s Board of Directors in its discretion at any time. The timing, amount and manner of share repurchases may depend upon market conditions and economic circumstances, availability of investment opportunities, the availability and costs of financing, currency fluctuations, the market price of the Company's common stock, other uses of capital and other factors.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities
