Schedule 1
The statements above and financial information provided in this earnings release include non-GAAP measures of operating income, operating margin, net income and earnings per share. Management excludes from these measures stock-based compensation, restructuring, acquisition and integration expenses, impairment charges, amortization charges and other unusual or infrequent items, as adjusted for taxes, as more fully described below.
Management excludes these items principally because such charges or benefits are not directly related to the Company’s ongoing core business operations. We use such non-GAAP measures in order to (1) make more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s operations, both internally and externally, (2) guide management in assessing the performance of the business, internally allocating resources and making decisions in furtherance of Company’s strategic plan, (3) provide investors with a better understanding of how management plans and measures the business and (4) provide investors with a better understanding of our ongoing, core business. The material limitations to management’s approach include the fact that the charges, benefits and expenses excluded are nonetheless charges, benefits and expenses required to be recognized under GAAP and, in some cases, consume cash which reduces the Company’s liquidity. Management compensates for these limitations primarily by reviewing GAAP results to obtain a complete picture of the Company’s performance and by including a reconciliation of non-GAAP results to GAAP results in its earnings releases.
Additional information regarding the economic substance of each exclusion, management’s use of the resultant non-GAAP measures, the material limitations of management’s approach and management’s methods for compensating for such limitations is provided below.
Stock-based Compensation Expense, which consists of non-cash charges for the estimated fair value of equity awards granted to employees and directors, is excluded in order to permit more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s results since the Company grants different amounts and value of equity awards each quarter. In addition, given the fact that competitors grant different amounts and types of equity awards and may use different valuation assumptions, excluding stock-based compensation permits more accurate comparisons of the Company’s core results with those of its competitors.
Restructuring, Acquisition, Integration and Other Expenses, which consist of employee severance, lease termination costs, exit costs, environmental investigation, remediation and related employee costs and other charges primarily related to closing and consolidating manufacturing facilities, and those associated with the acquisition, integration and other expenses of acquired businesses including fair value adjustments related to contingent consideration liability, are excluded because such charges (1) can be driven by the timing of acquisitions and exit activities which are difficult to predict, (2) are not directly related to ongoing business results and (3) generally do not reflect expected future operating expenses. In addition, given the fact that the Company’s competitors complete acquisitions and adopt restructuring plans at different times and in different amounts than the Company, excluding these charges or benefits permits more accurate comparisons of the Company’s core results with those of its competitors. Items excluded by the Company may be different from those excluded by the Company’s competitors and restructuring and integration expenses include both cash and non-cash expenses. Cash expenses reduce the Company’s liquidity. Therefore, management also reviews GAAP results including these amounts.
Impairment Charges for Goodwill and Other Assets, which consist of non-cash charges, are excluded because such charges are non-recurring and do not reduce the Company’s liquidity. In addition, given the fact that the Company’s competitors may record impairment charges at different times, excluding these charges permits more accurate comparisons of the Company’s core results with those of its competitors.
Amortization Charges, which consist of non-cash charges impacted by the timing and magnitude of acquisitions of businesses or assets, are also excluded because such charges do not reduce the Company’s liquidity. In addition, such charges can be driven by the timing of acquisitions, which is difficult to predict. Excluding these charges permits more accurate comparisons of the Company’s core results with those of its competitors because the Company’s competitors complete acquisitions at different times and for different amounts than the Company.
Other Unusual or Infrequent Items, such as charges or benefits associated with distressed customers, expenses, charges and recoveries relating to certain legal matters, and gains and losses on sales of assets, are excluded because such items are typically non-recurring, difficult to predict or not directly related to the Company’s ongoing or core operations and are therefore not considered by management in assessing the current operating performance of the Company and forecasting earnings trends. However, items excluded by the Company may be different from those excluded by the Company’s competitors. In addition, these items include both cash and non-cash expenses. Cash expenses reduce the Company’s liquidity. Management compensates for these limitations by reviewing GAAP results including these amounts.
Adjustments for Taxes, which consist of the tax effects of the various adjustments that we exclude from our non-GAAP measures and adjustments related to deferred tax and discrete tax items. Including these adjustments permits more accurate comparisons of the Company’s core results with those of its competitors. We determine the tax adjustments based upon the various applicable effective tax rates. In those jurisdictions in which we do not expect to realize a tax cost or benefit (due to a history of operating losses or other factors), a reduced tax rate is applied.

RESTON, Va., July 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — National Contract Management Association (NCMA) today announced that Booz Allen Hamilton is among 40 companies to officially adopt the Contract Management Standard® (CMS™) and Contract Management Body of Knowledge (CMBOK™). As one of the first major technology providers to integrate NCMA’s industry-leading framework, Booz Allen is reinforcing its commitment to excellence in contract management across civil, defense, and national security priorities.
NCMA serves a global community of professionals across government and industry, setting the benchmark for excellence in contract management through education, certification, and standards. At the core of this work is the CMS, the world’s first and only contract management standard approved by the American National Standards Institute. The CMS establishes a common framework and language for the entire contract lifecycle, from pre-award planning through post-award execution, while the CMBOK provides the detailed practices, competencies, and guidance professionals need to apply the standard effectively.
With over 110 years of mission expertise, Booz Allen combines deep expertise in AI and cybersecurity with leading-edge technology and engineering practices to advance the nation’s most critical priorities. The adoption of the CMS and CMBOK further reinforces Booz Allen’s leadership in government contracting and acquisition, strengthening its contract management capabilities and advancing industry best practices. By aligning to these standards, Booz Allen speaks a common language between government and industry, enabling streamlined processes and enhanced risk management, empowering its customers to navigate complex challenges with greater efficiency, confidence, and mission impact.
Executive Director Tim Cummins of the Commerce & Contract Management Institute expressed enthusiasm with the firm’s decision, stating, “Booz Allen’s adoption of the Contract Management Standard demonstrates a strong commitment to advancing the profession. By aligning to a common framework, they are not only strengthening their internal capabilities but also contributing to greater consistency and excellence across the broader contract management community.”
“Booz Allen develops technology at full speed, and we firmly support innovative standards like the Commerce & Contract Management Institute’s CMS and CMBOK,” said Linda Asher, Senior Vice President and Booz Allen’s Head of Contracts, Procurement and Pricing. “Adopting these standards further galvanizes Booz Allen’s leadership in acquisition reform driving efficiencies that help us accelerate delivery of advanced technology products, such as our Vellox Agentic Cyber Suite, to meet emerging mission requirements.”
When organizations operate from a shared standard, contract management becomes more transparent, efficient, and scalable. Booz Allen’s decision to adopt the Commerce & Contract Management Institute’s Contract Management Standard reinforces its role as a forward-thinking advanced technology company, ensuring it remains at the forefront of best practices in an evolving global landscape.
