SAIC revised its fiscal 2027 growth outlook downward to -1% after losing two major contract recompetes: an Army Corps of Engineers deal (3% of revenue) and Cloud One (1% of revenue). CFO Prabu Natarajan cited the losses as the primary driver for the guidance reduction, noting the company had initially projected flat to 3% growth in December 2025. The Army Corps of Engineers contract loss was confirmed weeks before the February 2026 conference, while Cloud One’s loss further strained revenue projections for calendar 2026. Q4 revenue trends (November-January) showed early weakness, compounding the impact of the lost contracts and prompting the updated 8-K filing. Natarajan addressed the changes during the TD Cowen Aerospace and Defense Conference, framing them as operational setbacks rather than broader market shifts.

Thank you very much, guys. We are going [Audio Gap] with SAIC. You may have seen the -- there was a release earlier today that SAIC put out. So we will talk a little bit about that.

Gautam KhannaTD Cowen, Research Division Busy day, lots going on. And so I want to just leave it open at the outset to just say like, okay, there was an 8-K filed today and just kind of the genesis behind that, the reduction in guidance and the like. Prabu NatarajanExecutive VP & CFO Sure. Absolutely. First of all, thanks for the interest and the opportunity to be able to have this conversation. I think big picture with the 8-K, we started out last -- at the end of last year in December, we said we expect growth to be flat to plus 3%. And then we said we're likely to be at the lower end of that range if we lost an Army Corps of Engineers recompete, which is about 3% of the top line. And of course, we lost that about a few weeks ago. And then we lost Cloud One, which is another recompete, roughly 1% of revenue. So nominally, we were sitting at about minus 1% growth for FY '27, calendar '26. I think as we looked at the Q4 revenue environment, I think we began Q4 at a reasonable pace, Q4 being kind of the November, December, January
