RESTON, Va., Feb. 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Science Applications International Corp. (NASDAQ: SAIC ), a leading mission integrator supporting defense, space, intelligence and civilian agencies, today announced unaudited preliminary financial results for the fiscal fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2026 and updated its financial guidance for fiscal year 2027. The Company’s announcement of unaudited preliminary financial results and updated guidance was primarily due to recent procurement delays and unfavorable customer award decisions. These items will result in a reduction to expected fiscal year 2026 and 2027 revenue compared to prior guidance.

"While recent dynamics pressure our near-term revenue outlook, we continue to invest to ensure that our solutions directly support what is most impactful to national security and to broader government transformation. We are also improving every stage of our business development and delivery processes by investing in our people, processes, and tools. This includes a bottoms-up enterprise transformation program to increase our investment capacity. I’m confident these efforts will generate more sustained, profitable growth in the coming years,” said Jim Reagan, SAIC’s Interim Chief Executive Officer.

“The revenue pressures we have seen recently are disproportionately within our portfolio of larger and commoditized Enterprise IT programs. Going forward, we will be more selective by focusing on customer opportunities with the potential for technology transformation and execution upside. We’re confident in our ability to return to growth with solid double-digit margins over time. We look forward to discussing these efforts in greater detail on our fourth quarter earnings call in March,” said Prabu Natarajan, SAIC’s Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Natarajan will provide further comments on these dynamics in a presentation at the TD Cowen Aerospace & Defense Conference on February 11 at 4:20 PM ET. The webcast and associated materials can be accessed in the events section of SAIC’s investor relations website.

Preliminary Q4 FY26 and FY26 results

The table below summarizes the company’s current expectations for the full year 2026 financial results for certain key metrics. Revenue results are modestly below prior expectations due to the 2025 government shutdown, adverse weather, and procurement delays. Adjusted EBITDA (1) , adjusted EBITDA % (1) , adjusted diluted EPS (1) , and free cash flow (1) are above prior expectations due to strong execution, improved operational efficiency, and a lower tax rate.

Revised FY27 guidance

In addition, the company is updating its financial guidance for fiscal year 2027 which is reflected in the table below. As a result of two recent unfavorable recompete award decisions and unchanged market conditions, the company now expects fiscal year 2027 revenue to organically decline, compared to previous guidance of modest growth. Margin is expected to be higher than the previous guidance due to improved operational efficiency and mix. Adjusted EBITDA (1) is now expected to be lower due to the impact of lower revenue, partially offset by higher margin.

CURRENT Fiscal Year PRIOR Fiscal Year

Revenue $7.0B - $7.2B $7.35B - $7.55B
Organic Growth (4%) - (2%) 0% - 3%

The company expects to report its full fourth quarter and fiscal year 2026 results before the market opens on March 16, 2026, and will host a conference call and webcast to discuss the earnings release at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA is a performance measure that is calculated by taking net income and excluding interest and loss on sale of receivables, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, acquisition, integration, restructuring and impairment costs, and any other material non-recurring costs.

Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share ("EPS") is a performance measure that is calculated by taking EPS and excluding the impact of non-recurring transactions and activities that we do not consider to be indicative of our ongoing operating performance.

Free Cash Flow is calculated by taking cash flows provided by operating activities less expenditures for property, plant, and equipment and less cash flows from our Master Accounts Receivable Purchasing Agreement (MARPA Facility) for the sale of certain designated eligible U.S. government receivables.
