AI-extracted from Leidos Holdings, Inc.'s 10-Q filed 2026-05-05 — Q1 FY2026 (quarter ended April 3, 2026). Every figure is machine-verified against the filing text on SEC EDGAR.

Leidos revenue grew 3.7% YoY to $4.4B in Q1, driven by Intelligence & Digital (+7.5%) and Homeland (+6.0%), though operating margin compressed to 11.5% from 12.5% amid integration costs from the $2.4B Entrust acquisition.

Biggest Revenue Drivers

Health$1,188Mflat YoY

Revenues remained consistent; net write-ups on managed health services programs offset net decrease in volumes.

Intelligence & Digital$1,513M+7.5% YoY

Program wins and $22M from Kudu Dynamics acquisition, partially offset by program completions and net volume decreases.

Homeland$816M+6.0% YoY

Net volume increases, $23M favorable FX impact, program wins and $11M from Entrust acquisition; partially offset by program write-downs.

Defense$883M+0.5% YoY

Program wins partially offset by contract completions.

Largest Expense Items

Cost of revenues$3,639M+4.3% YoY

Grew faster than revenue; net program write-downs and contract completion costs offset partially by volume gains.

Selling, general and administrative expenses$223M-3.0% YoY

Margins: Operating margin compressed 100 bps to 11.5% from 12.5% YoY, driven by unfavorable contract estimate changes (net $9M negative impact), program write-downs in Homeland and Defense, and $29M in Entrust acquisition and integration costs, partially offset by program wins and efficiencies in Intelligence & Digital.

Watch Items from the Filing

  • Company received Federal Grand Jury Subpoena in August 2022 for DOJ Antitrust Division criminal investigation regarding three 2021-2022 government procurements; outcome and liability amount cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.
