NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1.Basis of Presentation
Unless the context otherwise requires:
•References herein to “Jacobs” are to Jacobs Solutions Inc. and its predecessors;
•References herein to the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our” are to Jacobs Solutions Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries; and
•References herein to the “Group” are to the combined economic interests and activities of the Company and the persons and entities holding noncontrolling interests in our consolidated subsidiaries.
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 August 29, 2022 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 26, 2025 (“2025 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 December 26, 2025, and for the three months ended December 26, 2025.
Our interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.
On September 27, 2024, Jacobs Solutions Inc. ("Jacobs") completed the previously announced Reverse Morris Trust transaction pursuant to which (i) Jacobs first transferred its Critical Mission Solutions business (“CMS”) and portions of its Divergent Solutions (“DVS”) business (referred to herein as the Cyber & Intelligence business (“C&I”) and together with CMS referred to as the “SpinCo Business”), to Amazon Holdco Inc., a Delaware corporation, that was subsequently renamed Amentum Holdings, Inc. (“SpinCo”) (the “Separation”), (ii) Jacobs then effectuated a spin-off of SpinCo by distributing 124,084,108 shares of SpinCo Common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “SpinCo Common Stock”) by way of a pro rata distribution to its shareholders such that each holder of shares of Jacobs Common stock, par value $1.00 per share, (the “Jacobs Common Stock”) was entitled to receive one share of SpinCo Common Stock for each share of Jacobs Common Stock held as of the record date, September 23, 2024 (the “Distribution”), and (iii) finally, Amentum Parent Holdings LLC merged with and into SpinCo, with SpinCo surviving the merger (the “Merger” and together with the Separation and the Distribution, the “Separation Transaction”).
As a result of the Separation, substantially all SpinCo Business-related assets and liabilities have been separated and distributed (the "Disposal Group"). The Company determined that the Disposal Group should be reported as discontinued operations in accordance with ASC 205-20, Discontinued Operations because their disposal represents a strategic shift that had a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results. As such, the financial results of the SpinCo Business are reflected in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Earnings as well as relevant disclosures as discontinued operations for all periods presented. See Note 14- Discontinued Operations for more information.

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.
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 2025 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 and Note 14- Discontinued Operations for discussion regarding the Company's investment in Amentum common shares.
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.

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 (including limited amounts of guaranteed maximum price) 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.
The following table further disaggregates our revenue by geographic area for the three months ended December 26, 2025 and December 27, 2024 (in thousands):

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
Remaining Performance Obligations
The Company’s remaining performance obligations as of December 26, 2025 represent a measure of the total dollar value of work to be performed on contracts awarded and in progress. The Company had approximately $18.5 billion in remaining performance obligations as of December 26, 2025. The Company expects to recognize approximately 46 % of its remaining performance obligations into revenue within the next twelve months and the remaining 54 % 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 redeemable noncontrolling interests redemption value adjustment associated with the PA Consulting transaction.

| Less: Deferred Financing Fees | ( | ( | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Total Long-term debt, net | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||||||
(1)The U.S. dollar denominated borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at either a SOFR rate plus a margin of between 0.975 % and 1.725 % or a base rate plus a margin of between 0 % and 0.625 % depending on the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio or Debt Rating (each as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility (defined below)). The interest rate under the Revolving Credit Agreement also incorporates a modest sustainability-linked pricing adjustment, which resulted in a favorable interest rate adjustment to the Company in February 2025. The applicable SOFR rates, including applicable margins, at December 26, 2025 and September 26, 2025 were approximately 5.04 % and 5.37 %. Borrowings denominated in British pounds bear interest at an adjusted SONIA rate plus a margin of between 0.908 % and 1.658 %. There were no amounts drawn in British pounds as of December 26, 2025.
(2)Borrowings under the 2025 Term Loan Facility bear interest at either a SONIA rate or term SOFR rate plus a margin of between 0.975 % and 1.60 % or a base rate plus a margin of between 0 % and 0.50 % depending on the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio or Debt Rating. The applicable SOFR and SONIA rates, including applicable margins, at December 26, 2025 and September 26, 2025 were approximately 5.02 % and 5.42 % for borrowings denominated in U.S. dollars and 4.72 % and 4.97 % for borrowings denominated in British pounds.
(3)The interest rate payable on the 5.90 % Bonds (as defined below) may be increased by an additional 12.5 basis points on each of September 1, 2028 and September 1, 2030, based on whether or not the Company achieves the key performance indicators set forth in the First Supplemental Indenture (as defined below). Each key performance indicator is independent of the other. Therefore, we may achieve one, both, or neither.
We believe the carrying values of the Revolving Credit Facility and the 2025 Term Loan Facility approximates fair value based on the interest rates and scheduled maturities applicable to the outstanding borrowings. At December 26, 2025, the fair value of the 5.90 % Bonds and the 6.35 % bonds is estimated to be $527.4 million and $632.0 million, respectively, based on Level 2 inputs. The fair value is determined by discounting future cash flows using interest rates available for issuances with similar terms and average maturities.
Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loans
The Company and certain of its subsidiaries maintain an 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. Amounts up to $2.25 billion in 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 letter of credit sub facility of $400.0 million, 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 or Debt Rating, whichever is more favorable to the Company. The maturity date of the Revolving Credit Facility is February 6, 2028. The Company is a guarantor of the obligations of JEGI and its subsidiaries under the Revolving Credit Agreement.

14.Discontinued Operations
Separation of Critical Mission Solutions (“CMS”) and Cyber & Intelligence (“C&I”) Businesses
On September 27, 2024, Jacobs completed the previously announced Reverse Morris Trust transaction pursuant to which (i) Jacobs first transferred its CMS and portions of its DVS business to Amazon Holdco Inc., a Delaware corporation (SpinCo), which has since been renamed Amentum Holdings, Inc., (ii) Jacobs then effectuated a spin-off of SpinCo by distributing 124,084,108 shares of SpinCo Common Stock, by way of a pro rata distribution to its shareholders such that each holder of shares of Jacobs Common Stock was entitled to receive one share of SpinCo Common Stock for each share of Jacobs common stock held as of the record date, September 23, 2024 (the "Distribution"), and (iii) finally, Amentum Parent Holdings LLC merged with and into SpinCo, with SpinCo surviving the merger. Amentum Holdings, Inc., as the surviving entity of the Separation Transaction is now an independent public company with common stock listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “AMTM” (“Amentum”).
In connection and in accordance with the terms of the Separation Transaction and prior to the Distribution and the Merger, Jacobs received a cash payment from SpinCo of approximately $911.0 million, after adjustments based on the estimated levels of cash, debt and working capital in the SpinCo Business as of the transaction date, and recorded estimated additional net working capital receivable amounts reflected in Receivables and Contract Assets in the Company's September 27, 2024 Consolidated Balance Sheet, subject to final settlement between the parties after the closing of the transaction and as set forth in the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 20, 2023 (as amended, the “Merger Agreement"). Subsequent to the closing and upon final determination in March 2025, the parties determined that the Company was entitled to $70.0 million in final settlement of the post-closing working capital adjustment, resulting in a $24.0 million reduction from preliminary recorded receivable amounts, which was charged to Retained Earnings in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet. The $70.0 million final receivable balance was collected in full on April 10, 2025 and immediately utilized to pay down existing amounts owed on Company’s Revolving Credit Facility upon receipt.

Investment in Amentum Stock
As a result of the Separation Transaction on September 27, 2024, Jacobs held approximately 29.2 million of the outstanding shares of Amentum common stock initially recorded on a net book value basis under spin-off accounting rules.
Following the Merger and in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, Jacobs transferred approximately 10.9 million of the 29.2 million of Amentum shares held into escrow to be held and distributed between the parties based on terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement. The entire 29.2 million shares of Amentum, consisting of both the 10.9 million in escrow shares and the remaining 18.3 million shares owned by Jacobs was reflected in the Company’s September 27, 2024 Consolidated Balance Sheet pending final settlement of the escrow shares at a recorded fair value of $749.5 million.
In February 2025, in connection with the determination of SpinCo’s fiscal year 2024 performance against certain agreed upon milestones and ensuing escrow share settlement proceedings (the “Post-Closing Additional Merger Consideration Adjustment”), the parties agreed that Jacobs was entitled to receive at least an additional 1.2 million shares held in escrow, which were then released to Jacobs. Subsequently, on March 13, 2025, Jacobs completed the Equity-for-Debt Transaction (see Note 12- Borrowings for additional information). After giving effect to the above transactions, the Company's remaining investment in Amentum represented the 9.7 million shares remaining in escrow.
Further, on April 7, 2025, the parties agreed to a final determination of the Post-Closing Additional Merger Consideration Adjustment, pursuant to which Jacobs became entitled to receive approximately 7.3 million Amentum shares from the remaining 9.7 million shares held in escrow mentioned above, and former Amentum equity sponsors became entitled to receive the remainder of approximately 2.4 million shares. The finalization of the shares deemed owed to the former Amentum equity sponsors resulted in approximately $21.9 million in charges to Miscellaneous Expense in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Earnings in the second fiscal quarter of 2025. These shares were subsequently released to the respective parties during the third fiscal quarter of 2025.

Transition Services Agreement
Upon closing of the Separation Transaction, the Company entered into a Transition Services Agreement (the "TSA") with Amentum pursuant to which the Company, on an interim basis, will provide various services to Amentum including corporate, information technology, and project services.

15. PA Consulting Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests
In connection with the Company's strategic investment in PA Consulting, the Company recorded redeemable noncontrolling interests, including subsequent purchase accounting adjustments, representing the noncontrolling interest holders' equity interests in the form of preferred and common shares of PA Consulting, with substantially all of the value associated with these interests allocable to the preferred shares. PA Consulting is accounted for as a consolidated subsidiary and as a separate operating segment.
During the three months ended December 26, 2025 and December 27, 2024, PA Consulting repurchased certain shares of the redeemable noncontrolling interest holders for $0.4 million and $3.7 million respectively, in cash. The difference between the cash purchase prices and the recorded book values of these repurchased and issued interests was recorded in the Company’s consolidated retained earnings. The Company held approximately 71 % of the outstanding ownership of PA Consulting as of December 26, 2025 and September 26, 2025.
For the three months ended December 26, 2025 and December 27, 2024, there was a $0.06 and $0.04 adjustment to earnings per share resulting from adjustments to the redeemable noncontrolling interests to reflect the excess of redemption values over fair values of the B common shares component of the redeemable noncontrolling interests. The redemption value adjustments associated with redeemable noncontrolling interests preference share repurchase and reissuance activities that were recorded had an immaterial impact to earnings per share for the three months ended December 26, 2025 and December 27, 2024.
The changes above had no impact on the Company’s overall results of operations, financial position or cash flows. See Note 6- Earnings Per Share and Certain Related Information for more information.
Changes in the redeemable noncontrolling interests during the three months ended December 26, 2025 are as follows (in thousands):

In addition, certain employees and non-employees of PA Consulting are eligible to receive equity-based incentive grants since the March 2, 2021 original investment date. Under the terms of the applicable agreements, these grants have reached vested status on a tranche basis of approximately 40 % through July 2025, with the remaining 60 % anticipated to vest and result in associated expense recognition upon a liquidity event, as defined in the applicable agreements, which is expected to take place in 2026. The Company has accrued liabilities associated with the vested grants at fair value in the amounts of $127.5 million and $103.8 million reported in Other deferred liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 26, 2025 and September 26, 2025, respectively. Also, during the three months ended December 26, 2025 and December 27, 2024, the Company has recorded $22.6 million and $5.9 million, respectively, in expenses associated with these agreements, which is reflected in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. As of December 26, 2025, there was approximately $178 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to the remaining 60 % vesting of the associated grants under these agreements based on December 26, 2025 fair values which are anticipated to vest upon a liquidity event, as defined in the applicable agreements. This cost is expected to be recognized in Selling, general and administrative expenses when such a liquidity event is considered probable, which could occur in the second quarter of fiscal 2026.
On January 2, 2026, Jacobs entered into an Implementation Deed (the “Implementation Deed”) with PA Consulting. Pursuant to the Implementation Deed and certain related agreements, and subject to the terms and conditions thereof, Jacobs will acquire from shareholders of PA Consulting all of the remaining issued share capital of PA Consulting ("PA Shares") owned by the PA Consulting shareholders other than Jacobs and its affiliates. The Company will acquire the PA Shares for an aggregate initial consideration of approximately £1.216 billion to be paid through a combination of cash and new shares of Jacobs' common stock, par value $1.00 per share (“Company Common Stock”), with the number of shares of Company Common Stock set at 20 % of the aggregate initial consideration, net of certain PA Consulting shareholder expenses and after making payments with respect to certain PA Shares which the Company has agreed to acquire for 100 % cash, and issued at a price of £100.20 per share, as set forth in the Implementation Deed. The initial consideration is subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Implementation Deed. Assuming the transaction closes, on the second anniversary of the effective date as defined under the terms of the Implementation Deed, the Company will pay an additional £75 million in shares of Company Common Stock, cash or a combination thereof, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion (the transactions described in this paragraph, collectively, the “PA Consulting Transaction”). The completion of the PA Consulting Transaction is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions, including approvals by the PA Consulting shareholders, the High Court of Justice in England and Wales, the UK Secretary of State and the Danish Business Authority, and the consummation of certain related transactions. The PA Consulting Transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of fiscal 2026. Upon consummation of the PA Consulting Transaction, the Company will no longer carry Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests on the Jacobs Consolidated Financial Statements commencing with the period in which the transaction is consummated.

16. Restructuring and Other Charges
During fiscal 2023, the Company implemented restructuring and separation initiatives relating to the Separation Transaction (see Note 14- Discontinued Operations for additional information) which continued through fiscal years 2024 and 2025; Jacobs has substantially completed the restructuring program for the Separation Transaction at the end of calendar year 2025. Restructuring initiatives were also implemented during fiscal 2023 relating to our PA Consulting business, which are substantially completed. During the first fiscal quarter of 2026, the Company implemented integration initiatives relating to the PA Consulting Transaction (see Note 15- PA Consulting Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests for additional information). While restructuring activities for these programs are comprised mainly of employee termination costs, the separation and integration activities are primarily related to the engagement of outside services, dedicated internal personnel and other related costs dedicated to those transactions.
Collectively, the above-mentioned restructuring activities are referred to as “Restructuring and other charges.”

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 $500.0 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 $500.0 million, which resulted in the receipt of cash and a pre-tax gain of $37.4 million, 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 $20.2 million and $20.9 million, net of tax, and is included in accumulated other comprehensive loss as of December 26, 2025 and September 26, 2025, respectively.
In fiscal 2020 we entered into interest rate swap agreements to manage the interest rate exposure on our variable rate loans. By entering into the swap agreements, the Company converted the variable rate based liabilities into fixed rate liabilities for a period of to ten years . During the fiscal 2023 transition from LIBOR to SOFR, the terms of the swaps were amended accordingly and remained designated as cash-flow hedges in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. As of December 26, 2025 and September 26, 2025, the Company has one ten-year outstanding instrument with a notional value of $200.0
The fair value of the interest rate swap at December 26, 2025 and September 26, 2025 was $19.3 million and $20.5 million, respectively, included within miscellaneous other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The unrealized net gain on the interest rate swap as of December 26, 2025 and September 26, 2025 was $14.7 million and $15.6 million, respectively, net of tax, and was included in accumulated other comprehensive loss.
Additionally, the Company held foreign exchange forward contracts in currencies that support our operations, including Australian Dollar, British Pound and other currencies, with notional values of $439.8 million at December 26, 2025 and $491.9 million at September 26, 2025. The length of these contracts currently ranges from to three months . The fair value of the foreign exchange contracts at December 26, 2025 was $1.9 million, of which $2.1 million is included within current assets and $(0.2 ) million is included within current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 26, 2025. The fair value of the contracts as of September 26, 2025 was $(0.3 ) million, of which $(2.3 ) million is included within current liabilities and $2.0 million is included within current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 26, 2025. Associated income statement impacts are included in miscellaneous income (expense) in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings for both periods.
In addition, on January 5, 2026, in connection with the PA Consulting Transaction, the Company entered into a foreign exchange forward contract with a notional value of $1.31 billion to manage its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates arising from its obligation to deliver the cash portion of the initial consideration payable in such transaction.
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
Page 28
JACOBS SOLUTIONS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
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.
Leases
The Company’s right-of use assets and lease liabilities presented on the Consolidated Balance Sheets relate to real estate, project assets used in connection with long-term construction contracts, IT assets and vehicles. The Company’s lease obligations are primarily for the use of office space and are primarily operating leases. The respective components of lease expense are reflected in Selling, general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings for all periods presented.
Contractual Guarantees, Legal Proceedings, Claims, Investigations 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, such as the Consolidated JV Matter (as defined in our fiscal 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K). 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 December 26, 2025 and September 26, 2025, the Company had issued and outstanding approximately $250.1 million and $217.0 million, respectively, in LOCs and $3.0 billion and $2.8 billion, respectively, in surety bonds. Of the outstanding LOC amount, $0.3 million has been issued under the Revolving Credit Facility and $249.8 million are issued under separate, committed and uncommitted letter-of-credit facilities.
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.

18. Segment Information
The Company's two
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer is the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) and evaluates the performance of and makes appropriate resource allocations to each of the segments. For purposes of the Company’s goodwill impairment testing, it has been determined that the Company’s operating segments are also its reporting units based on management’s conclusion that the components comprising each of its operating segments share similar economic characteristics and meet the aggregation criteria for reporting units in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other.
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. The Company incurs certain SG&A that relate to its business as a whole which are not allocated to the segments. The CODM does not review segment assets as a measure of segment performance.
The following tables present total revenues, direct cost of contracts, selling, general and administrative expenses and segment operating profit from continuing operations for each reportable segment (in thousands) and includes a reconciliation of segment operating profit to total U.S. GAAP operating profit by including certain corporate-level expenses, Restructuring and other charges (as defined in Note 16- Restructuring and Other Charges) and transaction and integration costs (in thousands) for the three months ended:

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 but are not limited to:
•uncertainties as to the possibility that the closing conditions for the proposed transaction with PA Consulting may not be satisfied or waived, on a timely basis or otherwise; the risks that any consents or approvals, including any regulatory approvals, required in connection with the proposed transaction may not be received; the risk that the proposed transaction may not be completed on the terms or in the time-frame expected by the parties; unexpected costs, liabilities, charges or expenses related to the proposed transaction and the actual terms of any financings that will be obtained for the transaction; our ability to fully integrate PA Consulting into our business; our ability to realize the estimated synergies of the proposed transaction; and our ability to retain and hire key personnel, customers or suppliers while the proposed transaction is pending or after it is completed;

•competition from existing and future competitors in our target markets, as well as the possible reduction in demand for certain of our product solutions and services, including delays in the timing of the award of projects or reduction in funding, or the abandonment of ongoing or anticipated projects due to the financial condition of our clients and suppliers or due to governmental budget constraints or changes to governmental budgetary priorities, or the inability of our clients to meet their payment obligations in a timely manner or at all;
•our ability to fully execute on our corporate strategy, including the impact of acquisitions, strategic alliances, divestitures, and other strategic events resulting from evolving business strategies, including on our ability to maintain our culture and retain key personnel, customers or suppliers, or 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 while retaining key personnel, and our ability to invest in the tools needed to implement our strategy;
•financial market risks that may affect us, including by affecting our access to capital, the cost of such capital and/or our funding obligations under defined benefit pension and post-retirement plans;
•legislative changes, including potential changes to the amounts provided for under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, as well as other legislation and executive orders, including any directive to federal agencies to reduce federal spending or the size of the federal workforce, and changes in U.S. or foreign tax laws, including the OBBBA, statutes, rules, regulations or ordinances, including the impact of, and changes to, tariffs and retaliatory tariffs or trade policies that may adversely impact our future financial position or results of operations;
•increased geopolitical uncertainty and risks, including policy risks and potential civil unrest, relating to the outcome of elections across our key markets and elevated geopolitical tension and conflicts, including the Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Hamas conflicts and the on-going tensions in the Middle East, among others; and

Separation of Critical Mission Solutions (CMS) and Cyber & Intelligence (C&I)
On September 27, 2024, Jacobs Solutions Inc. ("Jacobs") completed the previously announced Reverse Morris Trust transaction pursuant to which (i) Jacobs first transferred its Critical Mission Solutions business (“CMS”) and portions of the Divergent Solutions (“DVS”) business (referred to herein as the Cyber & Intelligence business (“C&I”) and together with CMS referred to as the “SpinCo Business”), to Amazon Holdco Inc., a Delaware corporation, which has been renamed Amentum Holdings, Inc. (“SpinCo”) (the “Separation”), (ii) Jacobs then effectuated a spin-off of SpinCo by distributing 124,084,108 shares of SpinCo common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “SpinCo Common Stock”), by way of a pro rata distribution to its shareholders such that each holder of shares of Jacobs common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Jacobs Common Stock”) was entitled to receive one share of SpinCo Common Stock for each share of Jacobs common stock held as of the record date, September 23, 2024 (the “Distribution”), and (iii) finally, Amentum Parent Holdings LLC merged with and into SpinCo, with SpinCo surviving the merger (the “Merger” and together with the Separation and the Distribution, the “Separation Transaction”). The surviving entity of the Separation Transaction is now an independent public company with common stock listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “AMTM” (“Amentum”).
As a result of the Separation Transaction, substantially all SpinCo Business-related assets and liabilities have been separated and distributed (the "Disposal Group"). The Company determined that the Disposal Group should be reported as discontinued operations in accordance with ASC 205-20, Discontinued Operations because their disposal represents a strategic shift that had a major effect on operations and financial results. As such, the financial results of the SpinCo Business are reflected in our Consolidated Statements of Earnings as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
For further information regarding separation activities that took place subsequent to the Separation Transaction closing, see Note 14- Discontinued Operations.
Prior to the Separation Transaction, Jacobs’ Critical Mission Solutions business provided a full spectrum of solutions for clients to address evolving challenges like digital transformation and modernization, national security and defense, space exploration, digital asset management, the clean energy transition, and nuclear decommissioning and cleanup. Clients included government agencies, as well as private sector clients mainly in the aerospace, automotive, motorsports, energy and telecom sectors. Prior to the Separation Transaction, the DVS business unit served as the core foundation for developing and delivering innovative, next-generation cloud, cyber, data and digital technologies. DVS clients included government agencies and commercial clients in the U.S. and international markets. Certain portions of the DVS business related to advising on digital strategy and transformation and developing digital solutions that facilitate capital, operational and cybersecurity decisions for our clients across our segments and their end markets were retained and are now part of I&AF.

Overview – Three Months Ended December 26, 2025
Net earnings attributable to the Company from continuing operations for the first fiscal quarter of 2026 were $125.0 million (or $1.11 per diluted share), an increase of $142.1 million, from net loss of $(17.1) million (or $(0.10) per diluted share) for the corresponding period last year. Our reported net earnings for the first fiscal quarter of 2026 were favorably impacted by pre-tax items, including higher gross profit of $44.0 million compared to the corresponding period last year, primarily driven by stronger performance in our Infrastructure & Advanced Facilities ("I&AF") operating segment, specifically in our International and Global Operations sectors, as discussed further below in the Segment Financial Information section. Current year results from continuing operations for fiscal 2026 were also favorably impacted by a decrease in miscellaneous expense of $130.4 million primarily due to the absence of prior year mark-to-market losses of $145.2 million related to our investment in Amentum stock in connection with the Separation Transaction, partly offset by a decrease in TSA-related income included in miscellaneous income (expense). Further, results were favorably impacted by a decrease in pre-tax Restructuring and other charges and transaction costs of $12.7 million reported in Selling, general & administrative ("SG&A") expenses compared to the fiscal 2025 period, primarily associated with the Separation Transaction (mainly professional services and employee separation costs), which are discussed in Note 16- Restructuring and Other Charges.
Income taxes for the three months ended December 26, 2025 were higher by $16.0 million from the corresponding period last year. Our income tax expense was unfavorably impacted by $16.6 million in additional tax expense related to non-deductible incentive compensation associated with the Company's PA Consulting investment.
For discussion of discontinued operations, see Note 14- Discontinued Operations.
On January 2, 2026, Jacobs entered into an Implementation Deed (the “Implementation Deed”) with PA Consulting. Pursuant to the Implementation Deed and certain related agreements, and subject to the terms and conditions thereof, Jacobs will acquire from shareholders of PA Consulting all of the remaining issued share capital of PA Consulting ("PA Shares") owned by the PA Consulting shareholders other than Jacobs and its affiliates. The Company will acquire the PA Shares for an aggregate initial consideration of approximately £1.216 billion to be paid through a combination of cash and new shares of Jacobs' common stock, par value $1.00 per share (“Company Common Stock”), with the number of shares of Company Common Stock set at 20% of the aggregate initial consideration, net of certain PA Consulting shareholder expenses and after making payments with respect to certain PA Shares which the Company has agreed to acquire for 100% cash, and issued at a price of £100.20 per share, as set forth in the Implementation Deed. The initial consideration is subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Implementation Deed. Assuming the transaction closes, on the second anniversary of the effective date as defined under the terms of the Implementation Deed, the Company will pay an additional £75 million in shares of Company Common Stock, cash or a combination thereof, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion (the transactions described in this paragraph, collectively, the “PA Consulting Transaction”). The completion of the PA Consulting Transaction is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions, including approvals by the PA Consulting shareholders, the High Court of Justice in England and Wales, the UK Secretary of State and the Danish Business Authority, and the consummation of certain related transactions. The PA Consulting Transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of fiscal 2026.
Consolidated Results of Operations
Revenues for the first fiscal quarter of 2026 were $3.29 billion, an increase of $360.3 million, or 12.3%, from $2.93 billion for the corresponding period last year. The increase in revenues was mainly driven by the Company's I&AF business, as well as year-over-year revenue growth in our PA Consulting business. The I&AF segment benefited primarily from stronger performance in our International and Global Operating sectors. Our revenues for the first fiscal quarter of 2026 were also favorably impacted by foreign currency translation of $37.9 million in our international businesses, as compared to a favorable impact of $16.4 million for the for the first fiscal quarter of 2025.
Gross profit for the first fiscal quarter of 2026 was $765.3 million, an increase of $44.0 million, or 6.1%, from $721.3 million for the corresponding period last year, with gross profit margins of 23.2% and 24.6% for the respective periods. The Company's increase in gross profit was mainly attributable to higher revenues as mentioned above, with unfavorable margin impacts from year-over-year project mix as well as increased personnel cost in PA Consulting.
See Segment Financial Information discussion for further information on the Company’s results of operations at the operating segment.
Page 37
Selling, general & administrative expenses for the three months ended December 26, 2025 were $532.7 million, an increase of $19.8 million or 3.9% from $512.8 million for the corresponding period last year. SG&A expenses for the three months ended December 26, 2025 were impacted by decreases of $12.7 million in Restructuring and other charges associated with the Separation Transaction, mainly comprised of professional services, and reductions of $7.9 million expenses associated with the TSA with Amentum. These favorable items were more than offset by year-over-year increases in incentives of $21.6 million, and underlying personnel costs of $6.9 million, expenses associated with IT related software licensing and other IT costs of $3.8 million as well as other department spend. Lastly, SG&A expenses were further impacted by unfavorable foreign exchange of $7.8 million for the three months ended December 26, 2025, as compared to unfavorable impacts of $3.2 million for the first fiscal quarter of 2025.
Net interest expense for the three months ended December 26, 2025 was $26.6 million, an increase of $1.5 million from $25.2 million, or 5.8% for the corresponding periods last year. The increase in net interest expense for the three months ended December 26, 2025 was primarily due to a decrease in interest income driven by lower interest rates, partly offset by higher levels of cash in the current year compared to the prior year period.
Miscellaneous income, net for the three months ended December 26, 2025 was $0.3 million, an increase of $130.4 million in comparison to net expense of $(130.1) million for the corresponding period last year. The favorability compared to the corresponding period last year was primarily due to the absence of first quarter fiscal 2025 mark-to-market losses and other related expenses associated with our investment in Amentum stock in connection with the Separation Transaction of $145.2 million. These favorable items were partially offset by a decrease of $11.3 million in TSA-related income associated with the Separation Transaction as discussed in Note 14- Discontinued Operations.
The Company’s effective tax rates from continuing operations for the three months ended December 26, 2025 and December 27, 2024 were 35.5% and 107.5%, respectively. Significant items contributing to differences between the statutory U.S. federal corporate tax rate of 21.0% and the Company's effective tax rate for the three-month period ended December 26, 2025 were $16.6 million of unfavorable tax impacts related to non-deductible incentive compensation associated with the Company's PA Consulting investment, as well as U.S. state income tax expense of $5.8 million and U.S. tax on foreign earnings of $4.6 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.
The most significant items contributing to the difference between the statutory U.S. federal corporate tax rate of 21.0% and the Company's effective tax rate of 107.5% for the three-month period ended December 27, 2024 were $37.0 million in unfavorable tax impacts associated with the non-deductibility of losses from the Company's investment in Amentum stock as well as U.S. state income tax expense of $5.4 million and U.S. tax on foreign earnings of $4.9 million.
Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests including redeemable noncontrolling interests for the three months ended December 26, 2025 were $(8.2) million, as compared to $(13.1) million for the corresponding period last year. The decrease in total noncontrolling interests for the three months ended December 26, 2025 primarily reflects lower comparative earnings impacts of joint venture projects nearing completion in the current year period as well as an increase in the Company's noncontrolling share of expense associated with equity-based incentive grants as discussed in Note 15- PA Consulting Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests. These unfavorable items were partly offset by higher net earnings results in our PA Consulting investment compared to the prior year period.
Restructuring and Other Charges
During fiscal 2023, the Company implemented restructuring initiatives relating to the Separation Transaction. The Company incurred approximately $1.4 million during the three months ended December 26, 2025 and $28.2 million and $42.0 million in fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, respectively, in pre-tax cash charges in connection with these initiatives. These actions were substantially completed at the end of calendar year 2025 and are expected to result in estimated gross annualized pre-tax cash savings of approximately $165 million to $200 million.
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 substantially completed, the Company incurred approximately $0.4 million during the three months ended December 26, 2025 and $1.9 million, $6.4 million and $14.3 million in fiscal 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, in pre-tax cash charges. These activities are expected to result in estimated gross annualized pre-tax cash savings of approximately $50 million to $65 million.

Revenues for the I&AF segment for the three months ended December 26, 2025 were $2.9 billion, an increase of $312.6 million, or 12%, compared to $2.6 billion for the corresponding period last year. The increase in revenues for the three months ended December 26, 2025 was driven primarily from stronger performance in its International and Global Operating sectors.

Operating profit for the I&AF segment for the three months ended December 26, 2025 was $214.7 million, an increase of $4.5 million, or 2%, from $210.3 million for the corresponding period last year. The increase for the three months ended December 26, 2025 was driven primarily by the revenue growth mentioned above, partially offset by an increase in Selling, general and administrative expenses.

Revenues for the PA Consulting segment for the three months ended December 26, 2025 were $354.4 million reflecting an increase of $47.7 million, or 16% from $306.7 million in the corresponding period last year. The increase in revenue was due primarily to growth in PA Consulting's public services businesses (through the public services and defence and security sectors). Foreign currency translation had approximately $12.9 million in favorable impacts on revenues for the three months ended December 26, 2025, as compared to $9.5 million in favorable impacts in the corresponding prior year period. | ||
Operating profit for the segment for the three months ended was $84.9 million, an increase of $18.2 million, or 27% from $66.7 million in the corresponding period last year. The year-over-year increase was mainly attributable to improved revenues as mentioned above, as well as favorable impacts from reduced Selling, general and administrative expenses. | ||
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.
Page 40
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 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.
The following table summarizes our backlog at December 26, 2025 and December 27, 2024 (in millions):
| December 26, 2025 | December 27, 2024 | ||||||||||
| Infrastructure & Advanced Facilities | $ | 25,902 | $ | 21,484 | |||||||
| PA Consulting | 406 | 331 | |||||||||
| Total | $ | 26,308 | $ | 21,815 | |||||||
The increase in backlog in I&AF from December 27, 2024 was predominantly driven by growth across Advanced Manufacturing, Life Sciences and Water markets. | ||
The increase in backlog in PA Consulting from December 27, 2024 was primarily driven by 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 December 26, 2025, our principal sources of liquidity consisted of $1.55 billion in cash and cash equivalents and $1.61 billion of available borrowing capacity under our $2.25 billion revolving credit agreement (the "Revolving Credit Facility"). See Note 12- Borrowings for more information. We finance most of our operations and growth through cash generated by our operations.
Page 41
Cash and cash equivalents at December 26, 2025 were $1.55 billion, representing an increase of $317.5 million from $1.24 billion at September 26, 2025, the reasons for which are described below.

Our net cash flow provided by operations of $380.8 million during the three months ended December 26, 2025 was favorable by $273.3 million in comparison to the cash flow provided by operations of $107.5 million in the corresponding prior year period. The increase in cash from operations is driven by stronger year-over-year working capital performance primarily attributable to Receivables and contract assets, net of contract liabilities which included a favorable cash timing item at the end of the quarter that will reverse in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, as well as Accounts Payable. Additionally, there were fewer year-over-year cash tax and Restructuring and Other Charges payments.
Our net cash used for investing activities during the three months ended December 26, 2025 was $15.5 million, compared to cash used for investing activities of $7.9 million in the corresponding prior year period due to higher levels of additions to plant, property and equipment in the current year.
Our net cash used for financing activities during the three months ended December 26, 2025 was $59.8 million. This was driven by share repurchases of $252.1 million, $38.6 million in dividends to shareholders, and $16.3 million in taxes paid on vested restricted stock, partly offset by net proceeds from borrowings of $245.0 million. Net cash provided by financing activities in the corresponding prior year period was $112.2 million, due primarily to net proceeds from borrowings of $362.7 million, partly offset by share repurchases of $201.6 million, $36.5 million in dividends to shareholders, and $14.4 million in taxes paid on vested restricted stock.
At December 26, 2025, the Company had approximately $403.2 million in cash and cash equivalents held in the U.S. and $1.15 billion held outside of the U.S. (primarily in the U.K., the Eurozone, Australia, India, Canada, and the Middle East region). Other than the tax cost of repatriating funds to the U.S., there are no material impediments to repatriating these funds to the U.S.
The Company had $250.1 million in letters of credit outstanding at December 26, 2025. Of this amount, $0.3 million was issued under the Revolving Credit Facility and $249.8 million was issued under separate, committed and uncommitted letter-of-credit facilities.
Page 42
Long-term debt as of December 26, 2025 increased by $249.6 million compared to September 26, 2025 primarily due to an increased draw on the revolving credit facility of $245.0 million (see Note 12- Borrowings) used to fund share buybacks, dividends and taxes paid on vested restricted stock.
On March 13, 2025, Jacobs completed the Equity-for-Debt Transaction (see Note 12- Borrowings for additional information), pursuant to which the Company extinguished $311.5 million under the GBP 2021 Term Loan, in exchange for its approximately 19.5 million shares in Amentum. Additionally, as noted below, on March 27, 2025, the Company and its subsidiary, entered into the 2025 Term Loan Facility (as noted below), the proceeds of which were used to extinguish the remaining $531.6 million under the GBP 2021 Term Loan contract. For more information, please refer to Note - 12 Borrowings and Note 14 - Discontinued Operations.
On March 27, 2025, the Company, as guarantor, and JEGI, as borrower, entered into a term loan agreement (the “2025 Term Loan Facility”) with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and sole lead arranger, and the lender party thereto. Under the 2025 Term Loan Facility, JEGI borrowed a $200.0 million term loan and £410.0 million term loan for a term of two-years from the date of initial funding, maturing on March 26, 2027. See Note 12- Borrowings for additional information.
In connection with the Post-Closing Additional Merger Consideration relating to the Separation Transaction, the Company received approximately 7.3 million Amentum shares from the 9.7 million shares held in escrow. On April 30, 2025, the Company's Board of Directors determined to distribute the 7.3 million shares of Amentum's stock and declared an in kind dividend payable to Jacobs’ shareholders of record as of May 16, 2025 which was distributed on a pro rata basis on May 30, 2025. Please refer to Note 14- Discontinued Operations for additional details.
On April 10, 2025, the Company collected $70 million in receivables related to final settlement of the post-closing working capital adjustment from the distribution of the SpinCo Business, the proceeds of which were immediately utilized to pay down amounts owed under the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility. Please refer to Note 14 - Discontinued Operations for additional details.

On February 6, 2023 the Company refinanced its Revolving Credit Facility, 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, and the Revolving Credit Facility following the issuances and refinancing.
On January 2, 2026, Jacobs entered into an Implementation Deed (the “Implementation Deed”) with PA Consulting. Pursuant to the Implementation Deed and certain related agreements, and subject to the terms and conditions thereof, Jacobs will acquire from shareholders of PA Consulting all of the remaining issued share capital of PA Consulting ("PA Shares") owned by the PA Consulting shareholders other than Jacobs and its affiliates. The Company will acquire the PA Shares for an aggregate initial consideration of approximately £1.216 billion to be paid through a combination of cash and new shares of Jacobs' common stock, par value $1.00 per share (“Company Common Stock”), with the number of shares of Company Common Stock set at 20% of the aggregate initial consideration, net of certain PA Consulting shareholder expenses and after making payments with respect to certain PA Shares which the Company has agreed to acquire for 100% cash, and issued at a price of £100.20 per share, as set forth in the Implementation Deed. The initial consideration is subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Implementation Deed. Assuming the transaction closes, on the second anniversary of the effective date as defined under the terms of the Implementation Deed, the Company will pay an additional £75 million in shares of Company Common Stock, cash or a combination thereof, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion (the transactions described in this paragraph, collectively, the “PA Consulting Transaction”). The completion of the PA Consulting Transaction is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions, including approvals by the PA Consulting shareholders, the High Court of Justice in England and Wales, the UK Secretary of State and the Danish Business Authority, and the consummation of certain related transactions. The PA Consulting Transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of fiscal 2026.
The upfront consideration, net of certain transaction expenses payable by the PA Consulting shareholders and after making payments with respect to certain PA Shares which the Company has agreed to acquire for 100% cash, will be paid 80% in cash and 20% in Jacobs’ shares. As discussed above, the PA Consulting Transaction also includes deferred consideration of £75 million which is payable in Jacobs’ shares as valued on the two-year anniversary following closing, cash, or a combination thereof, at Jacobs’ election. Jacobs intends to fund the cash portion of the upfront consideration through a combination of cash-on-hand and existing and incremental debt facilities.
We believe we have adequate liquidity and capital resources to fund our projected cash requirements for acquisitions including the PA Consulting Transaction as well as financing activities such as debt servicing, share buybacks and dividends 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 generated from operations.
We were in compliance with all of our debt covenants at December 26, 2025.

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 Facility and Note Purchase Agreement.
Our Revolving Credit Facility, 2025 Term Loan Facility and certain other debt obligations are subject to variable rate interest which could be adversely affected by an increase in interest rates. As of December 26, 2025, we had an aggregate of $1.39 billion in outstanding borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility and 2025 Term Loan Facility. 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 2025 Term Loan Facility). Depending on the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio, borrowings denominated in U.S. dollars under the Revolving Credit Facility 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%. Borrowings under the 2025 Term Loan Facility will bear interest at either a SONIA rate or term SOFR rate plus a margin of between 0.975% and 1.60% or a base rate plus a margin of between 0.0% and 0.50%. Additionally, our Revolving Credit Facility and our 5.90% Bonds due 2033 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 a swap agreement with a notional value of $200.0 million to convert the variable rate interest based liabilities associated with a corresponding amount of our debt into fixed interest rate liabilities, leaving $1.19 billion in principal amount subject to variable interest rate risk.
For the three months ended December 26, 2025, our weighted average floating rate borrowings that are subject to floating rate exposure were approximately $1.17 billion. If floating interest rates had increased by 1.00%, our interest expense for the three months ended December 26, 2025 would have increased by approximately $2.9 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 $439.8 million in notional value of exchange rate sensitive instruments at December 26, 2025. In addition, on January 5, 2026, in connection with the PA Consulting Transaction, the Company entered into a foreign exchange contract with a notional value of $1.31 billion. See Note 17- Commitments and Contingencies and Derivative Financial Instruments for discussion.

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 December 26, 2025, 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 December 26, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

At December 26, 2025, the Company had $966.2 million remaining under the 2025 Repurchase Authorization.
An aggregate summary of repurchases of the Company’s common stock made during the first quarter of fiscal 2026 under the 2025 Share Repurchase Authorization follows:
| Period | Total Number of Shares Purchased | Average Price Paid Per Share (1) | Total Number of Shares Purchased under the 2025 Repurchase Authorizations | Approximate Dollar Value of Shares that May Yet Be Purchased Under the 2025 Repurchase Authorizations | ||||||||||||||||||||||

(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.
