Overview
- SAIC reported $1.9 billion in revenue for the quarter with 0.5% organic growth and said margins reached record levels.
- Adjusted EBITDA was $222 million and free cash flow was $118 million for the quarter, results management described as driven by disciplined program execution and cost control.
- The company raised full-year adjusted EPS guidance to $9.90–$10.10 and left sales guidance unchanged while keeping free cash flow guidance above $600 million.
- Management disclosed a $12 million one-time gain from a venture IPO that boosted adjusted EBITDA margin by about 60 basis points and added roughly $0.20 to adjusted EPS, a key caveat for the quarter’s strength.
- Leadership said it is shifting the portfolio toward higher-value mission work and using AI to enhance services, but warned that contract recompetes and uncertain federal spending mean sustained organic growth will take multiple quarters and depend on how pipeline wins convert to revenue.
