What's Driving LDOS's Business? Latest 10-Q Breakdown
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
Total revenue: $4.4B+3.7% YoY
Revenues remained consistent; net write-ups on managed health services programs offset net decrease in volumes.
Program wins and $22M from Kudu Dynamics acquisition, partially offset by program completions and net volume decreases.
Net volume increases, $23M favorable FX impact, program wins and $11M from Entrust acquisition; partially offset by program write-downs.
Program wins partially offset by contract completions.
Largest Expense Items
Grew faster than revenue; net program write-downs and contract completion costs offset partially by volume gains.
Increased from debt issuances ($600M and $800M senior notes) and bridge facility termination fees related to Entrust acquisition.
Decreased from prior year quarter.
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

- Homeland segment operating margin collapsed to 4.0% from 7.9% YoY, largely due to $25M increase in acquisition/integration costs for Entrust and net program write-downs, indicating integration complexity and near-term profitability headwinds.
- Goodwill increased $1.75B to $8.1B at April 3, 2026 from $6.3B Jan 2, 2026, primarily from Entrust acquisition with $1.75B preliminary goodwill; purchase price allocation still under finalization and subject to material change.
- 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.
