Fourth Quarter Summary Results
Revenues for the quarter decreased $88 million compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to ramp down in volume on existing contracts, including the impact of government shutdown, and contract completions, partially offset by new contracts and the acquisition of SilverEdge ($23 million).
Operating income as a percentage of revenues increased to 7.6% for the quarter as compared to 7.5% in the comparable prior year period primarily due to lower selling, general and administrative expenses, partially offset by timing and volume mix in our contract portfolio.
Adjusted EBITDA(1) as a percentage of revenues for the quarter was 10.3%, compared to 9.6% for the prior year quarter primarily due to lower selling, general and administrative expenses, partially offset by timing and volume mix in our contract portfolio.

Fiscal Year 2026 Summary Results
Revenues for the fiscal year decreased $217 million compared to the prior year primarily due to contract completions and ramp down in volume on existing contracts, including approximately $26 million attributable to the government shutdown, partially offset by new contracts. Revenues attributed to SilverEdge for the year ended January 30, 2026 were $27 million. Adjusting for the acquisition of SilverEdge, revenues contracted by approximately 3.3%.
Operating income as a percentage of revenues for the fiscal year decreased compared to the prior year primarily due to executive transition costs, net of recoveries, the favorable resolution of the Assault Amphibious Vehicle ("AAV") contract termination in the prior year ($13 million), costs related to the settlement of federal tax audits, and timing and volume mix in our contract portfolio, partially offset by a recovery of costs from the settlement of a patent infringement matter.
Adjusted EBITDA(1) as a percentage of revenues for the fiscal year increased compared to the prior year primarily due to a recovery of costs from the settlement of a patent infringement matter and lower other selling, general and administrative expenses, partially offset by the favorable resolution of the AAV contract termination in the prior year ($13 million), and timing and volume mix in our contract portfolio.
Diluted earnings per share for the year was $7.70 compared to $7.17 in the prior year. Adjusted diluted earnings per share(1) was $10.75 for the year compared to $9.13 in the prior year.

(1)Non-GAAP measure, see Schedule 6 for information about this measure.
Cash Generation and Capital Deployment
Total cash flows provided by operating activities for the fourth quarter were $258 million, an increase of $143 million compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to timing of customer collections, lower cash outflows from the usage of the Master Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement ("MARPA Facility"), and lower cash taxes paid, net of tax refunds received in the current year, partially offset by timing of vendor payments.
Total cash flows provided by operating activities for the year were $609 million, an increase of $115 million from the prior year, primarily due to timing of customer collections, lower cash outflows from the usage of the MARPA Facility, lower cash taxes paid, net of tax refunds received in the current year, and other changes in working capital, partially offset by timing of vendor payments.
During the quarter, SAIC deployed $122 million of capital, consisting primarily of $97 million of share repurchases in accordance with established repurchase plans and $17 million in cash dividends to shareholders. For the year, SAIC deployed $524 million of capital, consisting primarily of share repurchases of $422 million (approximately 4.0 million shares) in accordance with established repurchase plans and cash dividends of $70 million to shareholders.
Quarterly Dividend Declared
As previously announced, subsequent to fiscal year-end, the Company's Board of Directors ("Board of Directors") declared a cash dividend of $0.37 per share of the Company's common stock payable on April 24, 2026 to stockholders of record on April 10, 2026. SAIC intends to continue paying dividends on a quarterly basis, although the declaration of any future dividends will be determined by the Board of Directors each quarter and will depend on earnings, financial condition, capital requirements and other factors.
Backlog and Contract Awards
Net bookings for the quarter were approximately $0.6 billion, which reflects a book-to-bill ratio of approximately 0.3. Net bookings for the year were approximately $7.8 billion, which reflects a book-to-bill ratio of approximately 1.1.
SAIC's estimated backlog at the end of fiscal 2026 was approximately $22.6 billion of which $3.6 billion was funded.

GAAP to Non-GAAP Guidance Reconciliation
The Company does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking adjusted diluted EPS to GAAP diluted EPS or adjusted EBITDA margin to GAAP net income due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation. Because certain deductions for non-GAAP exclusions used to calculate net income may vary significantly based on actual events, the Company is not able to forecast GAAP diluted EPS or GAAP net income with reasonable certainty. The variability of the above charges may have an unpredictable and potentially significant impact on our future GAAP financial results.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in this release contain or are based on "forward-looking" information within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by words such as "expects," "intends," "plans," "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "guidance," and similar words or phrases. Forward-looking statements in this release may include, among others, estimates of future revenues, operating income, earnings, earnings per share, charges, total contract value, backlog, outstanding shares and cash flows, as well as statements about future dividends, share repurchases and other capital deployment plans. Such statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risk, uncertainties and assumptions, and actual results may differ materially from the guidance and other forward-looking statements made in this release as a result of various factors. Risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause or contribute to these material differences include those discussed in the "Risk Factors," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and "Legal Proceedings" sections of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as updated in any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other filings with the SEC, which may be viewed or obtained through the Investor Relations section of our website at www.saic.com or on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. Due to such risks, uncertainties and assumptions you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof.
