Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. The most significant of these estimates and assumptions relate to estimating contract revenues and costs, measuring progress against the Company’s performance obligations, assessing the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities accounted for through business acquisitions, valuing and determining the amortization periods for long-lived intangible assets, and assessing the recoverability of long-lived assets. Management evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis using the most current and available information. However, actual results may differ significantly from estimates. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known.
Business Combinations
The Company records all tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination at fair value as of the acquisition date, with any excess purchase consideration recorded as goodwill. For contingent purchase consideration, a liability is recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date with subsequent fair value adjustments recorded in operations. The Company uses various valuation methods of income approach, including the relief-from-royalty method and the multi-period excess earnings method, to determine the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities assumed. The use of these methods requires management to make significant judgments which may include, among others, projections about future revenues, expenses, and cash flows, weighted-average cost of capital, discount rates, royalty rates, and expected long-term growth rates. During the measurement period, not to exceed one year from the acquisition date, the Company may adjust provisional amounts recorded to reflect new information subsequently obtained regarding facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date.
Acquisition and Integration Costs
Costs associated with legal, financial, and other professional advisors related to acquisitions as well as applicable integration costs are expensed as incurred.
Revenue Recognition
The Company generates almost all of our revenues from three different types of contractual arrangements with the U.S. government: cost-plus-fee, fixed-price, and time-and-materials contracts. Our contracts with the U.S. government are generally subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and are competitively priced based on estimated costs of providing the contractual goods or services.
We account for a contract when the parties have approved the contract and are committed to perform on it, the rights of each party and the payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance, and collectability is probable. At contract inception, the Company determines whether the goods or services to be provided are to be accounted for as a single performance obligation or as multiple performance obligations. This evaluation requires professional judgment as it may affect the timing and pattern of revenue recognition. If multiple performance obligations are identified, we generally use the cost plus a margin approach to determine the relative standalone selling price of each performance obligation.
When determining the total transaction price, the Company identifies both fixed and variable considerations within the contract. Variable consideration includes any amount within the transaction price that is not fixed, such as: award or incentive fees; performance penalties; unfunded contract value; or other similar items. For our contracts with award or incentive fees, the Company estimates the total amount of award or incentive fee expected to be recognized into revenues. Throughout the performance period, the Company recognizes as revenue a constrained amount of variable consideration only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of the cumulative amount recognized to date will not be required in a subsequent period. The Company’s estimate of variable consideration is periodically adjusted based on significant changes in relevant facts and circumstances. In the period in which the Company can calculate the final amount of award or incentive fee earned based on the receipt of the customers’ final performance score or the determination that more objective, contractually-defined criteria have been fully satisfied, the Company will adjust its cumulative revenue recognized to date on the contract.
The Company generally recognizes revenues over time throughout the performance period as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided on services-type revenue arrangements. This continuous transfer of control for U.S. government contracts is supported by the unilateral right of the customer to terminate the contract for a variety of reasons without having to provide justification for its decision. For services-type revenue arrangements in which there are a repetitive amount of services that are substantially the same from one month to the next, the Company applies the series guidance. The Company uses a variety of input and output methods that approximate the progress towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation, including costs incurred, labor hours expended, and time-elapsed measures for fixed-price stand ready obligations. For certain contracts, primarily cost-plus and time-and-materials services-type revenue arrangements, the Company applies the right-to-invoice practical expedient in which revenues are recognized in direct proportion to the Company’s present right to consideration for progress towards the complete satisfaction of the performance obligation.
When a performance obligation has a significant degree of interrelation or interdependence between one month’s activities and the next, when there is an award or incentive fee, or when there is a significant degree of customization or modification, the Company generally records revenue using a percentage of completion method. For these revenue arrangements, substantially all revenues are recognized over time using a cost-to-cost input method based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to total estimated costs at completion. When estimates of total costs to be incurred on a contract exceed total revenue, a provision for the entire loss on the contract is recorded in the period in which the loss is determined.
Contract modifications are reviewed to determine whether they should be accounted for as part of the original performance obligation or as a separate contract. Contract modifications that add distinct goods or services and increase the contract value by an amount that reflects the standalone selling price are accounted for as separate contracts. When the contract modification includes goods or services that are not distinct from those already provided, the Company records a cumulative adjustment to revenues based on a remeasurement of progress towards the complete satisfaction of the not yet fully delivered performance obligation.
Based on the critical nature of our contractual performance obligations, the Company may proceed with work based on customer direction prior to the completion and signing of formal contract documents. The Company has a formal review process for approving any such work that considers previous experiences with the customer, communications with the customer regarding funding status, and the Company’s knowledge of available funding for the contract or program.
Costs of Revenues
Costs of revenues includes all direct contract costs such as labor, materials, subcontractor costs, and indirect costs that are allowable and allocable to contracts under federal procurement standards. Costs of revenues also includes expenses that are unallowable under applicable procurement standards and are not allocable to contracts for billing purposes. Such unallowable expenses do not directly generate revenues but are necessary for business operations.
Changes in Estimates on Contracts
The Company recognizes revenues on many of its fixed-price, award fee, and incentive fee arrangements over time primarily using a cost-to-cost input method based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to total estimated costs at completion. The process requires the Company to use professional judgment when assessing risks, estimating contract revenues and costs, estimating variable consideration, and making assumptions for schedule and technical issues. The Company periodically reassesses its assumptions and updates its estimates as needed.
Contract Balances
Contract assets include unbilled receivables in which our right to consideration is conditional on factors other than the passage of time. Contract assets exclude billed and billable receivables.
In addition, the costs to fulfill and obtain a contract are considered for capitalization based on contract specific facts and circumstances. The incremental costs to fulfill a contract (e.g., ramp up costs at the beginning of the period of performance) may be capitalized when costs are incurred prior to satisfying a performance obligation. The incremental costs of obtaining a contract (e.g., sales commissions) are capitalized as an asset when the Company expects to recover them either directly or indirectly through the revenue arrangement’s profit margins. These capitalized costs are subsequently expensed over the revenue arrangement’s period of performance. The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient to immediately expense the costs to obtain a contract when the performance obligation will be completed within twelve months of contract inception.
Contract assets are periodically reassessed based on reasonably available information as of the balance sheet date to ensure they do not exceed their net realizable value.
Contract liabilities primarily include advance payments received from a customer in excess of revenues that may be recognized as of the balance sheet date. The advance payment is subsequently recognized into revenues as the performance obligation is satisfied.
Remaining Performance Obligations
Remaining performance obligations (RPO) represent the expected revenues to be recognized on existing contracts. This balance excludes unexercised contract option years and task orders that may be issued underneath an indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity vehicle until such task orders are awarded. The RPO balance generally increases with the execution of new contracts and converts into revenues as contractual performance obligations are satisfied. The Company continues to monitor this balance as it is subject to change from execution of new contracts, contract modifications or extensions, government deobligations, or early terminations.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all investments with an original maturity of three months or less on their trade date to be cash equivalents. The Company classifies investments with an original maturity of more than three months but less than twelve months on their trade date as short-term marketable securities.
Receivables
Receivables include billed, billable, and unbilled receivables, substantially all of which are expected to be billed and collected generally within one year. When events or conditions indicate that amounts outstanding from customers may become uncollectible, an allowance is estimated and recorded. Upon determination that a specific receivable is uncollectible, the receivable is written off against the allowance for expected credit losses. The Company’s allowance for expected credit losses was $7.6 million and $8.1 million as of June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, respectively.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk include accounts receivable and cash equivalents. Management believes that credit risk related to the Company’s accounts receivable is limited due to a large number of customers in differing segments and agencies of the U.S. government. Accounts receivable credit risk is also limited due to the creditworthiness of the U.S. government. Management believes the credit risk associated with the Company’s cash equivalents is limited due to the creditworthiness of the obligors of the investments underlying the cash equivalents. In addition, although the Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions that exceed federally insured limits, these balances are placed with high quality financial institutions.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (average cost or first-in, first-out) or net realizable value and are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company periodically assesses its current inventory balances and records a provision for damaged, deteriorated, excess, or obsolete inventory based on historical patterns and forecasted sales.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the excess of the fair value of consideration paid for an acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired as of the acquisition date. The Company evaluates goodwill for both of its reporting units for impairment annually on the first day of the fiscal fourth quarter, or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The evaluation includes a qualitative assessment or a quantitative assessment that compares the fair value of the relevant reporting unit to its respective carrying value, including goodwill, and utilizes both income and market approaches. The analysis relies on significant judgments and assumptions about expected future cash flows, weighted-average cost of capital, discount rates, expected long-term growth rates, and financial measures derived from observable market data of comparable public companies.
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized using the method that best reflects how their economic benefits are utilized or, if a pattern of economic benefits cannot be reliably determined, on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which is generally over periods ranging from one to twenty-six years. Intangible assets with finite lives are assessed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable at the asset group level.
Property, Plant, and Equipment
Purchases of property, plant, and equipment are capitalized at cost. The Company depreciates or amortizes on a straight-line basis over the useful life: equipment and furniture over three to eight years; buildings and building improvements up to 40 years; and leasehold improvements over the shorter of the remaining lease term or the improvements estimated useful life. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for potential impairment whenever there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable and the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its estimated fair value at the asset group level.
External Software Development Costs
Costs incurred in creating software to be sold or licensed for external use are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility has been established. Technological feasibility is established upon completion of a detailed program design or, in its absence, completion of a working model. Thereafter, all such software development costs are capitalized and subsequently reported at the lower of unamortized cost or estimated net realizable value. Capitalized costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining estimated economic life of the software.
Leases
The Company enters into contractual arrangements primarily for the use of real estate facilities, IT equipment, and certain other equipment. These arrangements contain a lease when the Company controls the underlying asset and has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits or outputs from the asset. All of the Company’s leases are operating leases.
The Company records a right-of-use (ROU) asset and lease liability as of the lease commencement date equal to the present value of the remaining lease payments. Most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate that can be readily determined. Therefore, the Company uses a discount rate based on its incremental borrowing rate on the commencement date. The ROU asset is then adjusted for initial direct costs and certain lease incentives included in the contractual arrangement. The Company combines and accounts for lease and non-lease components as a single component for facility leases. The Company has elected the practical expedient to not recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for short-term non-facility leases. Operating lease arrangements may contain options to extend the lease term or for early termination. The Company accounts for these options when exercise is reasonably certain. ROU assets are evaluated for impairment in a manner consistent with the treatment of other long-lived assets.
Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is recorded primarily within indirect costs and selling expenses on the consolidated statements of operations. Variable lease expenses are recorded in the period they are incurred and are excluded from the ROU asset and lease liability.
Derivative Instruments Designated as Cash Flow Hedges
Derivative instruments are recorded on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified to earnings in a manner that matches the timing of the earnings impact of the hedged transactions.
The Company periodically uses derivative financial instruments as part of a strategy to manage exposure to market risks associated with interest rate volatility on its variable-rate borrowings. The Company has entered into several floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreements to hedge a portion of the Company’s floating rate indebtedness, which are designated and accounted for as cash flow hedges. For additional information on the Company’s interest rate swap agreements, see “Note 11 – Long-term Debt”.
The fair value of interest rate swap agreements is determined using observable market inputs for the applicable benchmark reference rate and is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. See “Note 12 – Fair Value Measurements”.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock excluding anti-dilutive securities.
Stock-Based Compensation
We issue stock-based awards as compensation to employees and directors in the form of Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) and Performance-based Restricted Stock Units (PRSUs). These awards are accounted for as equity awards. We recognize stock-based compensation expense net of estimated forfeitures on a straight-line basis over the underlying award’s requisite service period, as measured using the award’s grant date fair value. The grant date fair value is based on the closing market price of our common stock on the grant date. For PRSUs, we assess the probability of achieving the performance conditions at each reporting period and adjust compensation expense based on the number of shares we expect to issue.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities due to a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Estimates of the realizability of deferred tax assets are based on the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies.
Liabilities for uncertain tax positions are recognized when it is more likely than not that a tax position will not be sustained upon examination and settlement with taxing authorities. Liabilities for uncertain tax positions are measured based upon the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Income tax penalties and interest are included in income tax expense.
Foreign Currency
The assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries whose functional currency is other than the U.S. dollar are translated at the exchange rate in effect on the reporting date, and income and expenses are translated at the weighted-average exchange rate during the period. The Company’s primary practice is to negotiate contracts in the same currency in which the predominant expenses are incurred, thereby mitigating the exposure to foreign currency fluctuations. The net translation gains and losses are recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders’ equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recorded as incurred in indirect costs and selling expenses on the consolidated statements of operations.
