NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Amounts in tables in thousands, except share and per share data or unless otherwise noted)

September 30, 2013

1. BUSINESS OVERVIEW

Organization

Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corporation, including its wholly owned subsidiaries, or Holding or the Company, is an affiliate of The Carlyle Group, or Carlyle, and was incorporated in Delaware in May 2008. The Company provides management and technology consulting services primarily to the U.S. government in the defense, intelligence, and civil markets. The Company is also further developing the scope and scale of the engineering services capabilities that it provides to its U.S. government clients. The Company has expanded beyond its management consulting foundation to develop deep expertise in technology, engineering, and analytics. The Company reports operating results and financial data in one operating segment. The Company is headquartered in McLean, Virginia, with approximately 23,200 employees as of September 30, 2013.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The Company prepared the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, or Quarterly Report, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. As a result, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The Company followed the accounting policies used and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 23, 2013, or Annual Report, and policies stated within this Quarterly Report. The Company’s fiscal year ends on March 31 and unless otherwise noted, references to fiscal year or fiscal are for fiscal years ended March 31.

The interim financial information in this Quarterly Report reflects all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments except as otherwise disclosed, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s results of operations for the interim periods. The results of operations for the six months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Areas of the financial statements where estimates may have the most significant effect include allowance for doubtful accounts, contractual and regulatory reserves, valuation and lives of tangible and intangible assets, impairment of long-lived assets, accrued liabilities, revenue recognition, bonus and other incentive compensation, stock-based compensation, realization of deferred tax assets, provisions for income taxes, and postretirement obligations. Actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially from management's estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, during the six months ended September 30, 2013, and through the filing date did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or historical condensed consolidated financial statements.

3. EARNINGS PER SHARE

The Company computes basic and diluted earnings per share amounts based on net income for the periods presented. The Company uses the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period to calculate basic earnings per share, or EPS. Diluted EPS adjusts the weighted average number of shares outstanding to include the dilutive effect of outstanding common stock options and other stock-based awards.

The Company currently has outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B Non-Voting Common Stock, Class C Restricted Common Stock, and Class E Special Voting Common Stock. Class E Special Voting Common Stock shares are not included in the calculation of EPS as these shares represent voting rights only and are not entitled to participate in dividends or other distributions. Unvested Class A Restricted Common Stock and unvested Class C Restricted Common Stock holders are

entitled to participate in non-forfeitable dividends or other distributions. These unvested shares participated in the Company's dividends declared and paid in the first and second quarters of fiscal 2014 and 2013. As such, EPS is calculated using the two-class method whereby earnings are reduced by distributed earnings as well as any available undistributed earnings allocable to restricted shareholders. A reconciliation of the income used to compute basic and diluted EPS for the periods presented are as follows:



	Three Months Ended September 30,				Six Months Ended September 30,
	2013		2012		2013		2012
Earnings for basic computations (a)	$	67,145	$	38,511	$	136,829	$	99,205
Weighted-average Class A Common Stock outstanding	139,135,635		129,686,292		137,337,119		128,809,548
Weighted-average Class B Non-Voting Common Stock outstanding	967,094		2,431,003		1,158,003		2,452,728
Weighted-average Class C Restricted Common Stock outstanding	1,002,214		1,319,600		1,079,603		1,358,210
Total weighted-average common shares outstanding for basic computations	141,104,943		133,436,895		139,574,725		132,620,486
Earnings for diluted computations (a)	$	67,171	$	38,511	$	136,885	$	99,205
Dilutive stock options and restricted stock	7,400,883		10,812,267		7,682,849		11,027,991
Average number of common shares outstanding for diluted computations	148,505,826		144,249,162		147,257,574		143,648,477
Earnings per common share
Basic	$	0.48	$	0.29	$	0.98	$	0.75
Diluted	$	0.45	$	0.27	$	0.93	$	0.69

(a) During the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, approximately 1.4 million and 1.2 million participating securities were paid dividends totaling $140,000 and $7.6 million, respectively. During the six months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, approximately 1.4 million and 1.2 million participating securities were paid dividends totaling $202,000 and $8.9 million, respectively. In addition, for the three and six months ended September 30, 2013, there were undistributed earnings of $528,000 and $1.1 million respectively for the calculation of basic earnings per share, and $502,000 and $1.0 million respectively for the calculation of diluted earnings per share. The undistributed and distributed earnings referenced above comprise the difference from net income presented on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended September 30, 2013, while only the dividends paid comprise the difference in net income for the three and six months ended September 30, 2012, as there were no excess undistributed earnings.

In the EPS calculation for the three and six months ended September 30, 2013, 890,000 options were not included in the EPS calculation as their impact was anti-dilutive. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2012, 219,000 and 13,000 options, respectively, were not included in the EPS calculation as their impact was anti-dilutive.

7. DEBT

Debt consisted of the following:



	September 30, 2013					March 31, 2013
	Interest Rate		Outstanding Balance			Interest Rate		Outstanding Balance
Term Loan A	2.68	%	$	687,282		2.70	%	$	706,134
Term Loan B	3.75	%	1,002,784			4.50	%	1,009,039
Total			1,690,066					1,715,173
Less: Current portion of long-term debt			(64,625		)			(55,562		)
Long-term debt, net of current portion			$	1,625,441				$	1,659,611

On August 16, 2013, the Company consummated the First Amendment to its senior secured credit agreement, effective July 31, 2012, or Credit Agreement. With no increase in borrowing, the amendment reduced the interest rate applicable to Term Loan B. The rates for Term Loan A loans outstanding under the Company's Credit Agreement, as amended, remain unchanged.

In connection with the First Amendment, the Company accelerated the amortization of ratable portions of the Debt Issuance Costs, or DIC, and Original Issuance Discount, or OID, associated with the prior senior secured term loan facilities of $1.2 million. These amounts are reflected in other expense, net in the three and six months ended September 30, 2013.

Furthermore, the Company expensed third party costs of $1.6 million that did not qualify for deferral, which are reflected in general and administrative costs in the three and six months ended September 30, 2013.

As of September 30, 2013, the Credit Agreement, as amended, provided the Company with a $725.0 million Term Loan A and a $1,025.0 million Term Loan B, and a $500.0 million revolving credit facility, with a sublimit for letters of credit of $100.0 million. The outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement, as amended, are secured by a security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Credit Agreement, as amended, and related documentation.

The Credit Agreement, as amended, requires quarterly principal payments of 1.25% of the stated principal amount of Term Loan A, with annual incremental increases to 1.875%, 2.50%, 3.125%, and 13.0%, prior to Term Loan A's maturity date of December 31, 2017, and 0.25% of the stated principal amount of Term Loan B, with the remaining balance payable on Term Loan B's maturity date of July 31, 2019. The revolving credit facility matures on December 31, 2017, at which time any outstanding principal balance is due in full. As of September 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013, there were no amounts outstanding on the revolving credit facility.

The interest rate on borrowings under Term Loan A is LIBOR plus a 2.50% spread. The spread ranges from 2.00% to 2.75% based on the Company's total leverage ratio. Subsequent to the First Amendment, the interest rate on borrowings under Term Loan B is LIBOR plus a 3.0% spread with a 0.75% floor. The spread ranges from 2.00% to 3.00% based upon either an ABR or LIBOR borrowing. These new interest rates changed from LIBOR plus a 3.50% spread and a 1.00% floor, where the spread ranged from 2.50% to 3.50% based upon either an ABR or LIBOR borrowing. The revolving credit facility margin and commitment fee are subject to the leveraged based pricing grid, as set forth in the Credit Agreement, as amended.

The total outstanding debt balance is recorded in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, net of unamortized discount of $13.4 million and $11.6 million as of September 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively.

As of September 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all of the debt covenants of the Credit Agreement, as amended.

On October 15, 2013, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary Booz Allen Hamilton Inc. accessed $250.0 million of its $500.0 million revolving credit facility to safeguard against the possible consequences of a failure by Congress to increase the U.S. government's ability to incur indebtedness in excess of its current limit. On October 18, 2013, following the increase of the debt limit by Congress, the Company repaid the $250 million borrowed from the revolving credit facility.

8. INCOME TAXES

The Company’s effective income tax rate was 40.4% and 40.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and 40.4% and 39.9% for the six months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The three and six months effective tax rate of 40.4% differs from the statutory rate of 35.0% due to state income taxes, changes in uncertain tax positions, and the effect of permanent rate differences, which primarily relate to meals and entertainment.

9. OTHER LONG-TERM LIABILITIES

Other long-term liabilities consisted of the following:



	September 30, 2013		March 31, 2013
Income tax reserve	$	57,591	$	57,018

10. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

Defined Contribution Plan

The Company sponsors the Employees’ Capital Accumulation Plan, or ECAP, which is a qualified defined contribution plan that covers eligible U.S. and international employees. ECAP provides for distributions, subject to certain vesting provisions, to participants by reason of retirement, death, disability, or termination of employment. Total expense recognized under ECAP was $40.7 million and $59.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $82.3 million and $118.8 million for the six months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company-paid contributions were $21.2 million and $30.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $64.4 million and $71.3 million for the six months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Defined Benefit Plan and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans

The Company maintains and administers a postretirement medical plan and a defined benefit retirement plan for current, retired, and resigned officers.

Total	$	4,195	$	7,605	$	9,341	$	14,367

As of September 30, 2013, there was $25.6 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock-based compensation agreements. The unrecognized compensation cost as of September 30, 2013 is expected to be amortized over 4.75 years. Absent the effect of accelerating stock compensation cost for any departures of employees who may continue to vest in their equity awards, the following table summarizes the unrecognized compensation cost and the weighted average period the cost is expected to be amortized.



	September 30, 2013
	Unrecognized Compensation Cost		Weighted Average Remaining Period to be Recognized
Equity Incentive Plan	$	11,008	3.38
Class A Restricted Common Stock	14,574		2.44
Total	$	25,582

Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan

On August 1, 2013 10,000 options were granted under the Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan, or EIP. The estimated fair value of our Class A Common Stock on August 1, 2013 at the time of the option grant, was $20.85.

As of September 30, 2013, there were 7,632,703 EIP options outstanding, of which 3,437,960 were unvested.

Grants of Class A Restricted Common Stock

On July 1, 2013, the Board of Directors granted 744,926 shares of Class A Restricted Stock in conjunction with the Annual Incentive Plan adopted on October 1, 2010. The amount of the annual incentive payment was determined based on performance targets established by the Compensation Committee and a portion of the bonus was paid in the form of Class A Restricted Stock. Equity awards will vest based on the passage of time, subject to the officer’s continued employment by the Company. The portion to be paid in the form of equity will be recognized in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations based on grant date fair value over the vesting period of 3 years and the aggregate value was estimated at $13.1 million based on the stock price of $17.57 on the grant date. On August 21, 2013, the Board of Directors granted 25,705 shares of Class A Restricted Stock to certain members of the Board of Directors.

As permitted under the terms of the EIP, the Compensation Committee as Administrator of the Plan, authorized on June 3, 2011 the withholding of taxes not to exceed the minimum statutory withholding amount, through the surrender of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the vesting or accelerated vesting of Class A Restricted Common Stock. For those holders who elected to participate, the trade dates were July 15, 2013, July 31, 2013 and September 13, 2013 for the vesting or accelerated vesting of the Class A Restricted Common Stock. As a result of these transactions the Company repurchased 3,959 shares at $18.40 and 5,844 shares at $21.38 and 7,309 shares at $19.19 and recorded them as treasury shares at a cost of $338,000.

Special Dividends

The Board of Directors, as the Administrator of the Officers' Rollover Stock Plan and the EIP, has the discretion in how to effect the required adjustment to keep option holders whole in the event of a distribution of dividends that triggers certain anti-dilution clauses within the respective plans. In the event the Board of Directors elects to grant option holders a cash payment equal to the amount of the special dividend, the Company accrues a stock-based compensation liability as the respective option's stock compensation expense is recorded in the statement of operations. This obligation will be settled on the options' mandatory exercise date for Rollover Options and on the later of the date the dividend is paid or vesting for the EIP options.

As of September 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013, the Company calculated a total recorded and unrecorded stock-based compensation liability of $57.9 million and $106.4 million, respectively, related to the special dividends paid in July 2009, December 2009, June 2012, and August 2012. The total recorded stock-based compensation liability as of September 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013 is as follows:



	September 30, 2013						March 31, 2013
	EIP Options		Rollover Options		Total		EIP Options		Rollover Options		Total
Current portion of liability¹	$	1,246	$	31,094	$	32,340	$	14,429	$	34,039	$	48,468
Long-term portion of liability²	—		22,270		22,270		—		50,625		50,625
	$	1,246	$	53,364	$	54,610	$	14,429	$	84,664	$	99,093

¹ Included in accrued compensation and benefits (Note 6).

²Included in other long-term liabilities.

As of September 30, 2013, $3.3 million related to EIP Options will be recorded as liabilities as the related compensation expense is recognized over the next 3.75 years. There is no unrecorded liability related to Rollover Options as of September 30, 2013. As of March 31, 2013, there were unrecognized liabilities of $2.8 million and $4.5 million related to Rollover Options and EIP Options, respectively.

14. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The accounting standard for fair value measurements establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets (Level 1); inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly (Level 2); and unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which requires the Company to develop its own assumptions (Level 3).

A financial instrument's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following tables set forth by level represent the fair value of the Company's cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2013.



	Fair Value of Cash and Cash Equivalents as of September 30, 2013
	Level 1	Level 2	Level 3	Total
Cash and cash equivalents	$93,228	—	—	$93,228
Money market funds (a)	—	$333,995	—	$333,995
Total cash and cash equivalents	$93,228	$333,995	—	$427,223

(a) Level two cash and cash equivalents are invested in money market funds that are intended to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share by investing in liquid, high quality U.S. dollar-denominated money market instruments.

The fair value of the Company's trade accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates its carrying value at September 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013 because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of the Company's debt instruments approximates its carrying value at September 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013. The fair value of debt is determined based on interest rates available for debt with terms and maturities similar to the Company's existing debt arrangements (Level 2 inputs).

15. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company is an affiliate of Carlyle, and from time to time, and in the ordinary course of business: (1) other Carlyle portfolio companies engage the Company as a subcontractor or service provider, and (2) the Company engages other Carlyle portfolio companies as subcontractors or service providers. Revenue and cost associated with these related parties for the three months ended September 30, 2013 were $71,000 and $58,000, respectively, and $167,000 and $140,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. Revenue and cost associated with these related parties for the three months ended September 30, 2012 were $195,000 and $185,000, respectively, and $345,000 and $329,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.

On July 31, 2008, the Company entered into a management agreement, or Management Agreement, with TC Group V US, L.L.C., or TC Group, a company affiliated with Carlyle. In accordance with the Management Agreement, TC Group provides the Company with advisory, consulting, and other services and the Company pays TC Group an aggregate annual fee

of $1.0 million, plus expenses. For the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company incurred $250,000 in advisory fees. For the six months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company incurred $500,000 in advisory fees.

16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Leases

As a result of the July 2008 acquisition, as described in the Company’s Annual Report, the Company assigned a total of nine leases to Booz & Co. The facilities are located in New York, New York; Troy, Michigan; Florham Park, New Jersey; Parsippany, New Jersey; Houston, Texas; Chicago, Illinois; Cleveland, Ohio; Dallas, Texas; and London, England. Except for the Florham Park, Parsippany, Troy, Houston, Cleveland and Dallas leases, which expired, the Company remains liable under the terms of the original leases should Booz & Co. default on its obligations. There were no events of default under these leases as of September 30, 2013 or March 31, 2013. The maximum potential amount of undiscounted future payments is $19.7 million, and the leases expire at different dates between April 2014 and March 2017. Based on the Company’s assessment of the likelihood of future payment, no amounts have been recorded related to the Company’s contingent liability on such leases.

Government Contracting Matters

For the three and six months ended September 30, 2013 approximately 98% of the Company’s revenue was generated from contracts with U.S. government agencies or other U.S. government contractors, and approximately 99% for the three and six months ended September 30, 2012. Contracts with the U.S. government are subject to extensive legal and regulatory requirements and, from time to time and in the ordinary course of business, agencies of the U.S. government investigate whether the Company’s operations are conducted in accordance with these requirements and the terms of the relevant contracts by using investigative techniques such as subpoenas or civil investigative demands. U.S. government investigations of the Company, whether related to the Company’s U.S. government contracts or conducted for other reasons, could result in administrative, civil, or criminal liabilities, including repayments, fines, or penalties being imposed upon the Company, or could lead to suspension or debarment from future U.S. government contracting. Management believes it has adequately reserved for any losses that may be experienced from any investigation of which it is aware. The Defense Contract Management Agency Administrative Contracting Officer has negotiated annual final indirect cost rates through fiscal year 2007. Audits of subsequent years may result in cost reductions and/or penalties. Management believes it has adequately reserved for any losses that may be experienced from any such reductions and/or penalties. As of September 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013, the Company has recorded a liability of approximately $180.4 million and $156.2 million, respectively, for its current best estimate of amounts to be refunded to customers for potential adjustments from such audits or reviews of contract costs incurred subsequent to fiscal year 2007.

Litigation

The Company is involved in legal proceedings and investigations arising in the ordinary course of business, including those relating to employment matters, relationships with clients and contractors, intellectual property disputes, and other business matters. These legal proceedings seek various remedies, including claims for monetary damages in varying amounts that currently range up to $40 million or are unspecified as to amount. Although the outcome of any such matter is inherently uncertain and may be materially adverse, based on current information, management does not expect any of the currently ongoing audits, reviews, investigations, or litigation to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. As of September 30, 2013, there are no material amounts accrued in the condensed consolidated financial statements related to these proceedings.

Six former officers and stockholders who had departed the firm prior to July 31, 2008, the date on which we became majority owned by The Carlyle Group and certain of its affiliated investment funds, as described in the Company’s Annual Report, or the Acquisition, have filed a total of nine suits in various jurisdictions, with original filing dates ranging from July 3, 2008 through December 15, 2009 (three of which were amended on July 2, 2010 and then further amended into one consolidated complaint on September 7, 2010) against the Company and certain of the Company’s current and former directors and officers. Each of the suits arises out of the Acquisition and alleges that the former stockholders are entitled to certain payments that they would have received if they had held their stock at the time of the Acquisition. Some of the suits also allege that the Acquisition price paid to stockholders was insufficient. The various suits assert claims for breach of contract, tortious interference with contract, breach of fiduciary duty, civil Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, or RICO, violations, violations of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, and/or securities and common law fraud. Two of these suits have been dismissed with all appeals exhausted. Five of the remaining suits are pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, the sixth is pending in New York state court and the seventh is pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California. As of September 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013, the aggregate alleged damages sought in the seven remaining suits was approximately $348.7 million ($291.5 million of which is sought to be trebled pursuant to RICO) plus punitive damages, costs, and fees. Although the outcome of any of these cases is inherently

uncertain and may be materially adverse, based on current information, management does not expect them to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

17. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 29, 2013, our Board of Directors authorized and declared a special cash dividend of $1.00 per share to be paid on November 29, 2013 to shareholders of record on November 11, 2013. The Board of Directors, acting as the Administrator of the Officers' Rollover Stock Plan and the Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan, made a determination to adjust the outstanding Rollover and EIP options for the special dividend to prevent the dilution of the options. The adjustment is in the form of a $1.00 dividend equivalent. Holders of the Rollover Options will receive a cash payment equal to the amount of the special dividend on the exercise of the option during the options' mandatory exercise period. Holders of EIP options will receive a cash payment equal to the amount of the special dividend payable on November 29, 2013 or the vesting of the EIP option, whichever is later.

Overview

We are a leading provider of management and technology consulting services to the U.S. government in the defense, intelligence, and civil markets. We are further developing the scope and scale of our engineering services capabilities that we provide to our U.S. government clients. Additionally, we provide our management and technology consulting services to major corporations, institutions, and not for profit organizations. As the needs of our clients have grown more complex, we have expanded beyond our management consulting foundation to develop deep expertise in technology, engineering, and analytics. Leveraging our 99-year consulting heritage and a talent base of approximately 23,200 people, we deploy our deep domain knowledge, functional expertise, and experience to help our clients achieve their objectives. Today, we serve substantially all of the cabinet-level departments of the U.S. government. Our major clients include the Department of Defense, all branches of the U.S. military, the U.S. Intelligence Community, and civil agencies such as the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Energy, the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of the Treasury, and the General Services Administration. We support these clients in addressing complex and pressing challenges such as combating global terrorism, improving cyber capabilities, transforming the healthcare system, improving efficiency and managing change within the government, and protecting the environment. In the commercial sector, we serve U.S. clients primarily in the financial services, healthcare, and energy markets, and international clients, primarily in the Middle East.

We have a collaborative culture, supported by our operating model, which helps our professionals identify and respond to emerging trends across the markets we serve and deliver enduring results for our clients.

Financial and Other Highlights

Revenue decreased 0.7% from the three months ended September 30, 2012 to the three months ended September 30, 2013 and decreased 0.5% from the six months ended September 30, 2012 to the six months ended September 30, 2013. We continue to focus on effective management of our capacity and efficient management of our costs. Capacity management continued throughout the current period, and may influence future periods, particularly to the extent that the trends relating to fiscal uncertainty described below under "—Factors and Trends Affecting Our Results of Operations" persist. Modestly lower demand in an uncertain federal budget environment has resulted in a modest reduction in billable hours. Lower billable hours combined with the need to manage costs and capacity has resulted in reductions in headcount. However, a continued high level of productivity of consulting staff, recovery of additional allowable expenses, and higher billable expenses minimized the impact on our revenue from headcount declines. In this environment, we continue to focus on the effective deployment of our consulting staff to minimize the amount of time our staff spend on non-revenue producing activities and increase the amount of time our staff spends on revenue producing activities, which has helped minimize the decline in revenue. This reduction in unbillable time along with efficient use of our indirect costs, contributes to lower indirect costs, and most importantly a lower ratio of indirect costs to direct labor. Reductions in indirect costs have a direct correlation to a reduction of revenue recognized on our large portfolio of cost-reimbursable contracts. Substantially all of our revenue and backlog continues to be derived from services and solutions provided to client organizations across the U.S. government, primarily by our consulting staff and, to a lesser extent, our subcontractors. The mix of revenue generated by our consulting staff and subcontractors affects our operating margin, as the portion of our operating income derived from fees we earn on services provided by our subcontractors is significantly less than the operating income derived from direct consulting staff labor. The decline in our revenue described above was partially offset by an increase in revenue during the three and six months ended September 30, 2013 of $68.2 million and $147.2 million, respectively, from our acquisition of ARINC’s Defense Systems Engineering and Support division that closed on November 30, 2012.

Operating income grew 33.0% to $135.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2013 from $102.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2012, which reflects a 240 basis point increase in operating margin to 9.8% from 7.4% in the comparable period. Operating income grew 26.6% to $274.3 million in the six months ended September 30, 2013 from $216.8 million in the six months ended September 30, 2012, which reflects a 210 basis point increase in operating margin to 9.8% from 7.7% in the comparable period.The improvement in operating margin was due to increased contract profitability due to disciplined cost management of indirect spending and recovery of additional allowable expenses, as described above, as well as decreases in salaries and salary related benefits, employer retirement plan contributions and incentive compensation costs primarily due to the net decline in our headcount and, to a lesser extent, changes in our executives' compensation and our employer retirement plan discretionary contributions. Our effective management of other indirect costs and lower ratio of indirect costs to direct labor produces higher margins on our time-and-material contracts and ultimately produces higher margins on our fixed-price contracts.

Non-GAAP Measures

We publicly disclose certain non-GAAP financial measurements, including Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share, or EPS, because management uses these measures for business planning purposes, including to manage our business against internal projected results of operations and measure our performance. We view Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted EPS as measures of our core operating business, which exclude the impact of the items detailed below, as these items are generally not operational in nature. These non-GAAP measures also provide another basis for comparing period to period results by excluding potential differences caused by non-operational and unusual or non-recurring items. We also utilize and discuss Free Cash Flow, because management uses this measure for business planning purposes, measuring the cash generating ability of the operating business, and measuring liquidity generally. We present these supplemental measures because we believe that these measures provide investors with important supplemental information with which to evaluate our performance, long term earnings potential, or liquidity, as applicable, and to enable them to assess our performance on the same basis as management. These supplemental performance measurements may vary from and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures by other companies in our industry. Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, and Free Cash Flow are not recognized measurements under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, and when analyzing our performance or liquidity, as applicable, investors should (i) evaluate each adjustment in our reconciliation of operating and net income to Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income, and net cash provided by operating activities to Free Cash Flows, and the explanatory footnotes regarding those adjustments, (ii) use Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted EPS in addition to, and not as an alternative to, operating income, net income or diluted EPS, as a measure of operating results, and (iii) use Free Cash Flows in addition to, and not as an alternative to, net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity, each as defined under GAAP. We have defined the aforementioned non-GAAP measures as follows:

•

"Adjusted Operating Income" represents operating income before (i) certain stock option-based and other equity-based compensation expenses, (ii) adjustments related to the amortization of intangible assets, and (iii) any extraordinary, unusual, or non-recurring items. We prepare Adjusted Operating Income to eliminate the impact of items we do not consider indicative of ongoing operating performance due to their inherent unusual, extraordinary, or non-recurring nature or because they result from an event of a similar nature.

•

"Adjusted EBITDA" represents net income before income taxes, net interest and other expense, and depreciation and amortization and before certain other items, including: (i) certain stock option-based and other equity-based compensation expenses, (ii) transaction costs, fees, losses, and expenses, including fees associated with debt prepayments, and (iii) any extraordinary, unusual, or non-recurring items. We prepare Adjusted EBITDA to eliminate the impact of items we do not consider indicative of ongoing operating performance due to their inherent unusual, extraordinary, or non-recurring nature or because they result from an event of a similar nature.

•

"Adjusted Net Income" represents net income before: (i) certain stock option-based and other equity-based compensation expenses, (ii) transaction costs, fees, losses, and expenses, including fees associated with debt prepayments, (iii) adjustments related to the amortization of intangible assets, (iv) amortization or write-off of debt issuance costs and write-off of original issue discount, and (v) any extraordinary, unusual, or non-recurring items, in each case net of the tax effect calculated using an assumed effective tax rate. We prepare Adjusted Net Income to eliminate the impact of items, net of tax, we do not consider indicative of ongoing operating performance due to their inherent unusual, extraordinary, or non-recurring nature or because they result from an event of a similar nature.


•	"Adjusted Diluted EPS" represents diluted EPS calculated using Adjusted Net Income as opposed to net income. Additionally, Adjusted Diluted EPS does not contemplate any adjustments to net income as required under the two-class method as disclosed in the footnotes to the financial statements.


•	"Free Cash Flow" represents the net cash generated from operating activities less the impact of purchases of property and equipment.

Recent Developments

The following recent development occurred after September 30, 2013, which may cause our future results of operations to differ from our historical results of operations discussed under “— Results of Operations.”

On October 29, 2013, our Board of Directors authorized and declared a special cash dividend of $1.00 per share to be paid on November 29, 2013 to shareholders of record on November 11, 2013. The Board of Directors, acting as the Administrator of the Officers' Rollover Stock Plan and the Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan, or EIP, made a determination to adjust the outstanding Rollover and EIP options for the special dividend to prevent the dilution of the options. The adjustment is in the form of a $1.00 dividend equivalent. Holders of the Rollover Options will receive a cash payment equal to the amount of the special dividend on the exercise of the option during the options' mandatory exercise period. Holders of EIP options will receive a cash payment equal to the amount of the special dividend payable on November 29, 2013 or the vesting of the EIP option, whichever is later.

Factors and Trends Affecting Our Results of Operations

Our results of operations have been, and we expect them to continue to be, affected by the following factors, which may cause our future results of operations to differ from our historical results of operations discussed under “— Results of Operations.”

Business Environment and Key Trends in Our Markets

We believe that the following trends and developments in the U.S. government services industry and our markets may influence our future results of operations:


•	budget deficits and the growing U.S. national debt increasing pressure on the U.S. government to reduce federal spending across all federal agencies together with associated uncertainty about the size and timing of those reductions;


•	changes in the relative mix of overall U.S. government spending and areas of spending growth, with lower spending on homeland security, intelligence and defense-related programs as overseas operations end, and continued increased spending on cyber-security, advanced analytics, technology integration and healthcare;

•

cost cutting and efficiency initiatives, current and future budget reductions, continued implementation of Congressionally mandated automatic spending cuts, and other efforts to reduce U.S. government spending, which could cause clients to reduce or delay funding for orders for services or invest appropriated funds on a less consistent or rapid basis or not at all, particularly when considering long-term initiatives and in light of the recently ended U.S. government shutdown and uncertainty around Congressional efforts to craft a long-term agreement on the U.S. government's budget and ability to incur indebtedness in excess of its current limits and generally in the current political environment, not issue task orders in sufficient volume to reach current contract ceilings, alter historical patterns of contract awards, including the typical increase in the award of task orders or completion of other contract actions by the U.S. government in the period before the end of the U.S. government's fiscal year on September 30, delay requests for new proposals and contract awards, rely on short-term extensions and funding of current contracts, or reduce staffing levels and hours of operation;

•

current and continued uncertainty around the timing, extent, nature and effect of Congressional and other U.S. government action to address budgetary constraints, the effects of the recently ended U.S. government shutdown, the outcome of Congressional efforts to craft a long-term agreement on the U.S. government’s budget and ability to incur indebtedness in excess of its current limits prior to January 15, 2014 and February 7, 2014, the dates on which legislation relating to the U.S. government’s budget and debt limit, respectively,

expires and the U.S. deficit, including, the required reductions under the Budget Control Act of 2011 (as amended by the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012), which provides for automatic spending cuts totaling approximately $1.2 trillion between 2013 and 2021;


•	delays in the completion of the U.S. government’s budget process, which has in the past and could in the future delay procurement of the products, services, and solutions we provide;


•	increased audit, review, investigation and general scrutiny by U.S. government agencies of government contractors' performance under U.S. government contracts and compliance with the terms of those contracts and applicable laws;


•	the implementation by U.S. government agencies of approximately $109 billion in mandated 2014 sequestration spending cuts, including an estimated $52 billion in cuts to the Department of Defense;


•	the federal focus on refining the definition of “inherently governmental” work, including proposals to limit contractor access to sensitive or classified information and work assignments, which will continue to drive pockets of insourcing in various agencies, particularly in the intelligence market;


•	negative publicity and increased scrutiny of government contractors in general, including us, relating to U.S. government expenditures for contractor services and incidents involving the mishandling of sensitive or classified information;

•

cost cutting and efficiency and effectiveness efforts by U.S. civilian agencies with a focus on increased use of performance measurement, “program integrity” efforts to reduce waste, fraud and abuse in entitlement programs, and renewed focus on improving procurement practices for and interagency use of IT services, including through the use of cloud based options and data center consolidation;


•	U.S. government agencies awarding contracts on a technically acceptable/lowest cost basis, which could have a negative impact on our ability to win certain contracts;


•	as a result of the U.S. government's efforts to reduce outlays for contractor costs, we may see a continuing shift toward placement of our consulting staff at client site locations instead of our facilities, which generally results in lower billing rates and could have a negative impact on our revenue;


•	restrictions by the U.S. government on the ability of federal agencies to use lead system integrators, in response to cost, schedule and performance problems with large defense acquisition programs where contractors were performing the lead system integrator role;


•	increasingly complex requirements of the Department of Defense and the U.S. Intelligence Community, including cyber-security, managing federal health care cost growth and focus on reforming existing government regulation of various sectors of the economy, such as financial regulation and healthcare;


•	increased competition from other government contractors and market entrants seeking to take advantage of certain of the trends identified above;


•	legislative and regulatory changes to the allowability of executive compensation in excess of a benchmark compensation cap established by the Administrator of the Office Federal Procurement Policy, which previously was only applicable to the five most highly compensated employees in management positions; and


•	efforts by the U.S. government to address organizational conflicts of interest and related issues and the impact of those efforts on us and our competitors.

Sources of Revenue

Substantially all of our revenue is derived from services provided under contracts and task orders with the U.S. government, primarily by our consulting staff and, to a lesser extent, our subcontractors. Funding for our contracts and task orders is generally linked to trends in budgets and spending across various U.S. government agencies and departments. We provide services under a large portfolio of contracts and contract vehicles to a broad client base, and we believe that our diversified contract and client base lessens potential volatility in our business; however, a reduction in the amount of services that we are contracted to provide to the U.S. government or any of our significant U.S. government clients could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. In particular, the Department of Defense is one of our significant clients, and the Budget Control Act of 2011 (as amended by the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012), which provides for automatic

spending cuts totaling approximately $1.2 trillion between 2013 and 2021, requires an estimated $500 billion in federal defense spending cuts over this time period. Under the Budget Control Act, as amended, approximately $109 billion in spending cuts are mandated for fiscal 2014, and the Department of Defense has estimated that its share of these cuts at $52 billion. Legislation passed on October 16, 2013, which provides short-term funding for federal government agencies through January 15, 2014, maintains spending levels previously established for the U.S. government’s fiscal year ended September 30, 2013 which levels reflect the impact of previously mandated sequestration cuts of approximately $85 billion, including approximately $37 billion in cuts to the Department of Defense. A reduction in the amount of services that we are contracted to provide to the Department of Defense could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations, and given the uncertainty of when and how these automatic reductions may be applied, we are unable to predict the nature or magnitude of the potential adverse effect.

Contract Types

We generate revenue under the following three basic types of contracts:

•

Cost-Reimbursable Contracts. Cost-reimbursable contracts provide for the payment of allowable costs incurred during performance of the contract, up to a ceiling based on the amount that has been funded, plus a fee. We generate revenue under two general types of cost-reimbursable contracts: cost-plus-fixed-fee and cost-plus-award-fee, both of which reimburse allowable costs and provide for a fee. The fee under each type of cost-reimbursable contract is generally payable upon completion of services in accordance with the terms of the contract. Cost-plus-fixed-fee contracts offer no opportunity for payment beyond the fixed fee. Cost-plus-award-fee contracts also provide for an award fee that varies within specified limits based upon the client’s assessment of our performance against a predetermined set of criteria, such as targets for factors like cost, quality, schedule, and performance.

•

Time-and-Materials Contracts. Under a time-and-materials contract, we are paid a fixed hourly rate for each direct labor hour expended, and we are reimbursed for allowable material costs and allowable out-of-pocket expenses. To the extent our actual direct labor and associated costs vary in relation to the fixed hourly billing rates provided in the contract, we will generate more or less profit, or could incur a loss.

•

Fixed-Price Contracts. Under a fixed-price contract, we agree to perform the specified work for a pre-determined price. To the extent our actual costs vary from the estimates upon which the price was negotiated, we will generate more or less profit, or could incur a loss. Some fixed-price contracts have a performance-based component, pursuant to which we can earn incentive payments or incur financial penalties based on our performance. Fixed-price level of effort contracts require us to provide a specified level of effort (i.e., labor hours), over a stated period of time, for a fixed price.

The amount of risk and potential reward varies under each type of contract. Under cost-reimbursable contracts, there is limited financial risk, because we are reimbursed for all allowable costs up to a ceiling. However, profit margins on this type of contract tend to be lower than on time-and-materials and fixed-price contracts. Under time-and-materials contracts, we are reimbursed for the hours worked using the predetermined hourly rates for each labor category. In addition, we are typically reimbursed for other contract direct costs and expenses at cost. We assume financial risk on time-and-materials contracts because our labor costs may exceed the negotiated billing rates. Profit margins on well-managed time-and-materials contracts tend to be higher than profit margins on cost-reimbursable contracts as long as we are able to staff those contracts with people who have an appropriate skill set. Under fixed-price contracts, we are required to deliver the objectives under the contract for a pre-determined price. Compared to time-and-materials and cost-reimbursable contracts, fixed-price contracts generally offer higher profit margin opportunities because we receive the full benefit of any cost savings but generally involve greater financial risk because we bear the impact of any cost overruns. In the aggregate, the contract type mix in our revenue for any given period will affect that period's profitability. Over time we have experienced a relatively stable contract mix. However, over the last twelve months we have experienced a shift from time-and-materials contracts to cost-reimbursable contracts.

The table below presents the percentage of total revenue for each type of contract:



	Three Months Ended September 30,		Six Months Ended September 30,
	2013	2012	2013	2012
Cost-reimbursable (1)	55%	57%	55%	57%
Time-and-materials	29%	29%	30%	29%
Fixed-price (2)	16%	14%	15%	14%


(1)	Includes both cost-plus-fixed-fee and cost-plus-award-fee contracts.


(2)	Includes fixed-price level of effort contracts.

Contract Diversity and Revenue Mix

We provide services to our clients through a large number of single award contracts and contract vehicles and multiple award contract vehicles. Most of our revenue is generated under indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity, or ID/IQ, contract vehicles, which include multiple award government wide acquisition contract vehicles, or GWACs, and General Services Administration Multiple Award Schedule Contracts, or GSA schedules, and certain single award contracts. GWACs and GSA schedules are available to all U.S. government agencies. Any number of contractors typically compete under multiple award ID/IQ contract vehicles for task orders to provide particular services, and we earn revenue under these contract vehicles only to the extent that we are successful in the bidding process for task orders.

We generate revenue under our contracts and task orders through our provision of services as both a prime contractor and subcontractor, as well as from the provision of services by subcontractors under contracts and task orders for which we act as the prime contractor. The mix of these types of revenue affects our operating margin. Substantially all of our operating margin is derived from direct consulting staff labor, as the portion of our operating margin derived from fees we earn on services provided by our subcontractors is not significant. We view growth in direct consulting staff labor as the primary driver of earnings growth. Direct consulting staff labor growth is driven by consulting staff headcount growth, after attrition, and total backlog growth.

Our People

Revenue from our contracts is derived from services delivered by consulting staff and, to a lesser extent, from our subcontractors. Our ability to hire, retain, and deploy talent with skills appropriately aligned with client needs is critical to our ability to grow our revenue. We continuously evaluate whether our talent base is properly sized and appropriately compensated, and contains an optimal mix of skills to be cost competitive and meet the rapidly evolving needs of our clients.We seek to achieve that result through recruitment and management of capacity and compensation. As of September 30, 2013 and 2012, we employed approximately 23,200 and 24,000 people, respectively, of which approximately 21,000 and 21,600, respectively, were consulting staff.

Contract Backlog

We define backlog to include the following three components:


•	Funded Backlog. Funded backlog represents the revenue value of orders for services under existing contracts for which funding is appropriated or otherwise authorized less revenue previously recognized on these contracts.


•	Unfunded Backlog. Unfunded backlog represents the revenue value of orders for services under existing contracts for which funding has not been appropriated or otherwise authorized.


•	Priced Options. Priced contract options represent 100% of the revenue value of all future contract option periods under existing contracts that may be exercised at our clients’ option and for which funding has not been appropriated or otherwise authorized.

Backlog does not include any task orders under ID/IQ contracts, including GWACs and GSA schedules, except to the extent that task orders have been awarded to us under those contracts.

The following table summarizes the value of our contract backlog at the respective dates presented:



	As of September 30,
	2013		2012
	(In millions)
Backlog:
Funded	$	3,220	$	3,516
Unfunded (1)	2,758		2,785
Priced options	5,673		6,147
Total backlog	$	11,651	$	12,448


(1)	Reflects a reduction by management to the revenue value of orders for services under two existing single award ID/IQ contracts the Company has had for several years, based on an established pattern of funding under these contracts by the U.S. government.

During the three months ended September 30, 2013 the Company identified certain errors in the compilation of the Unfunded and Priced Options backlog for Booz Allen Hamilton Engineering Services, LLC, or BES. The following table summarizes the revised backlog of the Company, including the correction of the backlog of BES, since the quarter of the Company's acquisition of BES effective November 30, 2012:



	As of December 31, 2012				As of March 31, 2013				As of June 30, 2013
	As Reported		As Revised		As Reported		As Revised		As Reported		As Revised
	(In millions)
Backlog:
Funded	$	3,152	$	3,152	$	2,509	$	2,509	$	2,192	$	2,192
Unfunded	3,614		3,367		3,056		2,799		2,942		2,584
Priced options	6,156		6,157		6,265		6,227		6,138		6,080
Total backlog	$	12,922	$	12,676	$	11,830	$	11,535	$	11,272	$	10,856

Our backlog includes orders under contracts that in some cases extend for several years. The U.S. Congress generally appropriates funds for our clients on a yearly basis, even though their contracts with us may call for performance that is expected to take a number of years. As a result, contracts typically are only partially funded at any point during their term and all or some of the work to be performed under the contracts may remain unfunded unless and until the U.S. Congress makes subsequent appropriations and the procuring agency allocates funding to the contract.

We view growth in total backlog and consulting staff headcount as the two key measures of our potential business growth. Growing and deploying consulting staff is the primary means by which we are able to recognize profitable revenue growth. To the extent that we are able to hire additional consulting staff and deploy them against funded backlog, we generally recognize increased revenue. Total backlog, including backlog from BES of $826 million, decreased by 6.4% from September 30, 2012 to September 30, 2013. Funded backlog of $3.2 billion, including funded backlog from BES of $288 million, decreased by 8.4% from September 30, 2012 to September 30, 2013. Additions to funded backlog during the twelve months ended September 30, 2013, including backlog from BES, totaled $5.4 billion in comparison to $5.9 billion for the comparable period, with the decrease due to challenging and uncertain market conditions which is contributing to a lower conversion of unfunded backlog to funded backlog, the reduced award of new contracts and task orders under which funding was appropriated, and the decline in exercise and subsequent funding of priced options. We report internally on our backlog on a monthly basis and review backlog upon occurrence of certain events to determine if any adjustments are necessary.

We cannot predict with any certainty the portion of our backlog that we expect to recognize as revenue in any future period and we cannot guarantee that we will recognize any revenue from our backlog. The primary risks that could affect our ability to recognize such revenue on a timely basis or at all are: program schedule changes, contract modifications, and our ability to assimilate and deploy new consulting staff against funded backlog; cost cutting initiatives and other efforts to reduce U.S. government spending, which could reduce or delay funding for orders for services; and delayed funding of our contracts due to delays in the completion of the U.S. government's budgeting process and the use of continuing resolutions by the U.S. government to fund its operations. Funded backlog includes orders under contracts for which the period of performance has expired, and we may not recognize revenue on the funded backlog that includes such orders due to, among other reasons, the tardy submission of invoices by our subcontractors and the expiration of the relevant appropriated funding in accordance with a pre-determined expiration date such as the end of the U.S. government's fiscal year. The revenue value of orders included in funded backlog that has not been recognized as revenue due to period of performance expirations has not exceeded

approximately 5.8% of funded backlog as of the end of any of the eight fiscal quarters preceding the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2013. In our recent experience, none of the following additional risks have had a material negative effect on our ability to realize revenue from our funded backlog: the unilateral right of the U.S. government to cancel multi-year contracts and related orders or to terminate existing contracts for convenience or default; in the case of unfunded backlog, the potential that funding will not be made available; and, in the case of priced options, the risk that our clients will not exercise their options.

Operating Costs and Expenses

Costs associated with compensation and related expenses for our people are the most significant component of our operating costs and expenses. The principal factors that affect our costs are additional people as we grow our business and are awarded new contracts, task orders, and additional work under our existing contracts, and the hiring of people with specific skill sets and security clearances as required by our additional work.

Our most significant operating costs and expenses are described below.


•	Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue includes direct labor, related employee benefits, and overhead. Overhead consists of indirect costs, including indirect labor relating to infrastructure, management and administration, and other expenses.


•	Billable Expenses. Billable expenses include direct subcontractor expenses, travel expenses, and other expenses incurred to perform on contracts.


•	General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses include indirect labor of executive management and corporate administrative functions, marketing and bid and proposal costs, and other discretionary spending.


•	Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization includes the depreciation of computers, leasehold improvements, furniture and other equipment, and the amortization of internally developed software, as well as third-party software that we use internally, and of identifiable long-lived intangible assets over their estimated useful lives.

Seasonality

The U.S. government's fiscal year ends on September 30 of each year. While not certain, it is not uncommon for U.S. government agencies to award extra tasks or complete other contract actions in the period before the end of its fiscal year in order to avoid the loss of unexpended fiscal year funds. In addition, we also have historically experienced higher bid and proposal costs in the months leading up to the U.S. government's fiscal year end as we pursue new contract opportunities being awarded shortly after the U.S. government fiscal year end as new opportunities are expected to have funding appropriated in the U.S. government's subsequent fiscal year. We may continue to experience this seasonality in future periods, and our future periods may be affected by it.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2012

Revenue

Revenue decreased to $1,378.0 million from $1,387.7 million, or a 0.7% decrease. The decrease was primarily driven by a reduction in billable hours due to modestly lower demand in an uncertain federal budget environment. Lower billable hours combined with capacity and cost management efforts has resulted in reductions in headcount. However, a continued high level of productivity of consulting staff, recovery of additional allowable expenses, and higher billable expenses minimized the impact on our revenue from headcount declines. We also had a lower rate of indirect expenses period over period which has a direct correlation to the reduction of revenue on our large portfolio of cost reimbursable contracts. The decrease in revenue was partially offset by an increase in revenue of $68.2 million from the Company's acquisition of BES. Conversions to funded backlog during the twelve months ended September 30, 2013 totaled $5.4 billion in comparison to $5.9 billion for the twelve months ended September 30, 2012, with the decrease due to challenging and uncertain market conditions which is contributing to a lower conversion of unfunded backlog to funded backlog, the reduced award of new contracts and task orders under which funding was appropriated, and the decline in exercise and subsequent funding of priced options.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue decreased to $685.1 million from $702.1 million, or a 2.4% decrease. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in employer retirement plan contributions of $13.4 million and a decrease in salaries and salary-related benefits of $4.9 million. The decrease in employer retirement plan contributions was due to a decrease in the Company's expected discretionary employer contribution for fiscal 2014 as well as the reduced headcount in senior direct consulting staff. The decrease in salaries and salary-related benefits was primarily due to reduced headcount noted above. Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue was 49.7% and 50.6% in the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Billable Expenses

Billable expenses increased to $365.6 million from $353.4 million, or a 3.4% increase. The overall increase was primarily due to increases in subcontractor-related expenses of $21.3 million and increases in travel and materials expenses of $6.0 million. The increase was partially offset by decreases in other billable expenses of $15.1 million incurred to perform on contracts. While direct subcontractor related expenses increased period over period, billable expenses excluding BES decreased due to the Company's continued management of subcontractor costs. This decrease was more than offset by additional billable expenses

from BES due to BES' large percentage of work from subcontractors. Billable expenses as a percentage of revenue were 26.5% and 25.5% in the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses decreased to $173.5 million from $212.5 million, or an 18.4% decrease. This decrease was due to decreases in salaries and salary-related benefits of $17.0 million and a decrease of $3.6 million in employer retirement plan contributions. The decrease in salaries and salary-related expenses was primarily driven by the net reduction in our headcount. The decrease in employer retirement plan contributions was due to a decrease in the Company's expected discretionary employer contribution percentage for fiscal 2014 as well as the reduced headcount noted above. The remaining decrease was due to decreases in business-related transaction expenses, such as expenses incurred in the three months ended September 30, 2012 associated with the Company's acquisition of BES that closed November 2012, and decreases in professional fees and other expenses due to the Company's continued focus on cost management. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue were 12.6% and 15.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization increased to $18.1 million from $17.6 million, or a 2.8% increase. This increase was primarily due to increased amortization of intangible assets driven by the Company's acquisition of BES.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased to $20.2 million from $17.8 million, or an 13.3% increase, primarily due to additional principal incurred in connection with the Recapitalization Transaction consummated on July 31, 2012.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense increased to $46.0 million from $30.8 million, or a 49.5% increase, due to an increase in pre-tax net income.

Six Months Ended September 30, 2013 Compared to Six Months Ended September 30, 2012

Revenue

Revenue decreased to $2,805.7 million from $2,820.1 million, or a 0.5% decrease. The decrease was primarily driven by a reduction in billable hours due to modestly lower demand in an uncertain federal budget environment. Lower billable hours combined with capacity and cost management efforts has resulted in reductions in headcount. However, a continued high level of productivity of consulting staff, recovery of additional allowable expenses, and higher billable expenses minimized the impact on our revenue from headcount declines. We also had a lower rate of indirect expenses period over period which has a direct correlation to the reduction of revenue on our large portfolio of cost reimbursable contracts. The decrease in revenue was partially offset by an increase in revenue of $147.2 million from the Company's acquisition of BES. Conversions to funded backlog during the twelve months ended September 30, 2013 totaled $5.4 billion in comparison to $5.9 billion for the twelve months ended September 30, 2012, with the decrease due to challenging and uncertain market conditions which contributed to a lower conversion of unfunded backlog to funded backlog, the reduced award of new contracts and task orders under which funding was appropriated, and the decline in exercise and subsequent funding of priced options.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue decreased to $1,386.6 million from $1,429.4 million, or a 3.0% decrease. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in employer retirement plan contributions of $27.1 million, a decrease in salaries and salary-related benefits of $19.1 million, and a decrease in stock based compensation costs of $2.0 million. The decrease was partially offset by increases in other direct consulting staff expenses of $5.9 million. The decrease in employer retirement plan contributions was due to a decrease in the Company's expected discretionary employer contribution for fiscal 2014 as well as the reduced headcount in senior direct consulting staff. The decrease in salaries and salary-related benefits was primarily due to reduced headcount noted above. Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue was 49.4% and 50.7% in the six months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Billable Expenses

Billable expenses increased to $763.5 million from $731.9 million, or a 4.3% increase. The overall increase was primarily due to increases in subcontractor-related expenses of $33.3 million and increases in travel and materials expenses of $8.4 million. The increase was partially offset by decreases in other billable expenses of $10.1 million incurred to perform on contracts. While direct subcontractor related expenses increased period over period, billable expenses excluding BES decreased due to the

Company's continued management of subcontractor costs. This decrease was more than offset by additional billable expenses from BES due to BES' large percentage of work from subcontractors. Billable expenses as a percentage of revenue were 27.2% and 26.0% in the six months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses decreased to $344.8 million from $405.9 million, or a 15.0% decrease. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in salaries and salary-related benefits of $32.3 million and a decrease of $7.8 million in employer retirement plan contributions. The decrease in salaries and salary-related expenses was primarily driven by the net reduction in our headcount. The decrease in employer retirement plan contributions was due to a decrease in the Company's expected discretionary employer contribution percentage for fiscal 2014 as well as the reduced headcount noted above. The remaining decrease was due to decreases in business-related transaction expenses, such as expenses incurred in the six months ended September 30, 2012 associated with the Company's July 2012 debt recapitalization and acquisitions that occurred during fiscal 2013 and decreases in professional fees and other expenses due to the Company's continued focus on cost management. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue were 12.3% and 14.4% for the six months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization increased to $36.4 million from $36.1 million, or a 0.9% increase. This increase was primarily due to increased amortization of intangible assets driven by the Company's acquisition of BES.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased to $40.9 million from $29.1 million, or an 40.7% increase, primarily due to additional principal incurred in connection with the Recapitalization Transaction consummated on July 31, 2012.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense increased to $93.7 million from $71.8 million or a 30.4% increase due to an increase in pre-tax net income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have historically been able to generate sufficient cash to fund our operations, debt payments, capital expenditures, and discretionary funding needs. We had $427.2 million and $350.4 million in cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively, and our debt totaled $1,690.1 million and $1,715.2 million as of September 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively. However, due to fluctuations in cash flows and delays in the U.S. government's budgetary process, it may be necessary from time to time in the future to borrow under our senior secured loan facilities to meet cash demands. We anticipate that cash provided by operating activities, existing cash and cash equivalents, and borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements for the next twelve months, which primarily include:


•	operating expenses, including salaries;


•	working capital requirements to fund the growth of our business;


•	capital expenditures which primarily relate to the purchase of computers, business systems, furniture and leasehold improvements to support our operations;


•	debt service requirements for borrowings under our senior secured loan facilities; and


•	cash taxes to be paid.

On August 16, 2013, the Company consummated a repricing of its outstanding Term Loan B indebtedness by entering into the First Amendment to its senior secured credit agreement, dated as of July 31, 2012, or Credit Agreement. With no increase in borrowing, the amendment reduced the interest rate applicable to the Term Loan B tranche. The new interest rate for the outstanding indebtedness under Term Loan B tranche was reduced to LIBOR plus a 3.00% spread with a 0.75% floor from LIBOR plus a 3.50% spread and a 1.00% floor. The rates for Term Loan A loans outstanding under the Company's Credit Agreement, as amended, remain unchanged.

During the three and six months ended September 30, 2013, we declared recurring cash dividends totaling $14.3 million ($0.10 per share) and $28.2 million ($0.20 per share), respectively. During the three and six months ended September 30, 2012, we declared recurring cash dividends totaling $12.1 million ($0.09 per share) and $24.0 million ($0.18 per share), respectively. Additionally, during the three and six months ended September 30, 2012, we declared special dividends totaling $903.7 million ($6.50 per share) and $1,112.1 million ($8.00 per share), respectively.

The Board of Directors, as the Administrator of the Officers' Rollover Stock Plan and the Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan has discretion in how to effect the required adjustment to keep option holders whole in the event of a distribution of dividends that triggers certain anti-dilution clauses within the respective plans. In the event the Board of Directors elects to grant option holders a cash payment equal to the amount of the special dividend, the Company accrues a stock-based compensation liability as the respective option's stock compensation expense is recorded in the statement of operations. This obligation will be settled on the options' mandatory exercise date for Rollover Options and on the later of the date the dividend is paid or vesting for the EIP options. The stock-based compensation liability as of September 30, 2013 includes all special dividends declared through September 30, 2013. As of September 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013, the Company calculated a total recorded and unrecorded stock-based compensation liability of $57.9 million and $106.4 million, respectively, related to the special dividends paid in July 2009, December 2009, June 2012, and August 2012.

On October 29, 2013, we announced a regular quarterly cash dividend in the amount of $0.10 per share and a special cash dividend of $1.00 per share, each payable on November 29, 2013 to shareholders of record on November 11, 2013. The Board of Directors, acting as the Administrator of the Officers' Rollover Stock Plan and the EIP made a determination to adjust the outstanding Rollover and EIP options for the special dividend to prevent the dilution of the options. The adjustment is in the form of a $1.00 dividend equivalent. Holders of the Rollover Options will receive a cash payment equal to the amount of the special dividend on the exercise of the option during the options' mandatory exercise period. Holders of EIP options will receive a cash payment equal to the amount of the special dividend payable on November 29, 2013 or the vesting of the EIP option, whichever is later.

From time to time we evaluate alternative uses for excess cash resources including debt prepayments, payment of recurring and special dividends, funding acquisitions or share repurchases up to the Board of Directors current approved amount of $30.0 million, of which no shares have been repurchased as of September 30, 2013. Any determination to pursue one or more of the above alternative uses for excess cash is subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors, and will depend upon various factors, including our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity requirements, restrictions that may be imposed by applicable law, our contracts, and our senior secured credit agreement, as amended, and other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors.

Cash Flows

Cash received from clients, either from the payment of invoices for work performed or for advances in excess of costs incurred, is our primary source of cash. We generally do not begin work on contracts until funding is appropriated by the client. Billing timetables and payment terms on our contracts vary based on a number of factors, including whether the contract type is cost-reimbursable, time-and-materials, or fixed-price. We generally bill and collect cash more frequently under cost-reimbursable and time-and-materials contracts, as we are authorized to bill as the costs are incurred or work is performed. In contrast, we may be limited to bill certain fixed-price contracts only when specified milestones, including deliveries, are achieved. In addition, a number of our contracts may provide for performance-based payments, which allow us to bill and collect cash prior to completing the work.

Accounts receivable is the principal component of our working capital and is generally driven by revenue growth with other short-term fluctuations related to the payment practices of our clients. Our accounts receivable reflect amounts billed to our clients as of each balance sheet date. Our clients generally pay our invoices within 30 days of the invoice date. At any month-end, we also include in accounts receivable the revenue that was recognized in the preceding month, which is generally billed early in the following month. Finally, we include in accounts receivable amounts related to revenue accrued in excess of amounts billed, primarily on our fixed-price and cost-plus-award-fee contracts. The total amount of our accounts receivable can vary significantly over time, but is generally sensitive to revenue levels. Total accounts receivable (billed and unbilled combined, net of allowance for doubtful accounts) days sales outstanding, which we calculate by dividing total accounts receivable by revenue per day during the relevant fiscal quarter, was 66 as of September 30, 2013 and 61 as of March 31, 2013.

The table below sets forth our net cash flows for the periods presented:



	Six Months Ended September 30,
	2013			2012
	(Unaudited)			(Unaudited)
	(In thousands)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	139,609		$	389,748
Net cash used in investing activities	(3,155		)	(14,375		)
Net cash used in financing activities	(59,615		)	(370,762		)
Total increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	76,839		$	4,611

Net Cash from Operating Activities

Net cash from operations is primarily affected by the overall profitability of our contracts, our ability to invoice and collect from clients in a timely manner, and our ability to manage our vendor payments. Net cash provided by operations was $139.6 million in the six months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $389.7 million in the same prior year period, or a 64.2% decrease. The decrease in net cash provided by operations was primarily due to a return to a typical volume of cash collections during the U.S. government's fiscal year end, in contrast to the prior period which benefited from exceptionally strong cash collections, which resulted in an increase in DSO. Our lower cash collections were also due to less timely payments by our customers than in the comparable prior year period due in part to the government sequestration and staff furloughs, as the government agency payment offices didn't have full staff to process and approve payments.

Net Cash from Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $3.2 million in the six months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $14.4 million in the same prior year period, or a 78.1% decrease. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to decreased capital expenditures. In addition, the Company received a purchase price adjustment from a business acquisition, which offset the cash used in investing activities during the six months ended September 30, 2013.

Net Cash from Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $59.6 million in the six months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $370.8 million in the same prior year period, or an 83.9% decrease. The decrease in net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended September 30, 2012 was primarily due to special cash dividends paid, partially offset by the proceeds from the July 31, 2012 Recapitalization Transaction. There were no comparable special dividends paid or debt proceeds received in the six months ended September 30, 2013.

Indebtedness

Our debt totaled $1,690.1 million and $1,715.2 million as of September 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively. The interest rate in effect for Term Loan A was 2.68% and for Term Loan B was 3.75% as of September 30, 2013, and 2.70% for Term Loan A and 4.50% for Term Loan B as of March 31, 2013. As of September 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013, there were no amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility of $500 million. As of September 30, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all of its financial covenants under its credit facilities.

On August 16, 2013, the Company consummated a repricing of its outstanding Term Loan B indebtedness by entering into the First Amendment to its Credit Agreement. With no increase in borrowing, the amendment reduced the interest rate applicable to Term Loan B. As of September 30, 2013, the Credit Agreement provided the Company with a $725.0 million Term Loan A and a $1,025.0 million Term Loan B, and a $500.0 million revolving credit facility with a $100.0 million sublimit for letters of credit.

Absent any prepayment accelerations of Debt Issuance Costs, or DIC, or the effect of changes in interest rates, the following table summarizes the estimated annual amortization expense of DIC using the effective interest rate method:



	DIC Amortization Expense
	Total		2014		2015		2016		2017		2018		Thereafter
	(in thousands)
Term Loan A	$	9,815	$	1,489	$	2,855	$	2,614	$	2,182	$	675	$	—
Term Loan B	9,804		772		1,583		1,636		1,681		1,734		2,398
Revolver	9,415		1,103		2,213		2,219		2,213		1,667		—
Total	$	29,034	$	3,364	$	6,651	$	6,469	$	6,076	$	4,076	$	2,398

The Credit Agreement, as amended, requires quarterly principal payments of 1.25% of the stated principal amount of Term Loan A, with annual incremental increases to 1.875%, 2.50%, 3.125%, and 13%, prior to Term Loan A's maturity date of December 31, 2017, and 0.25% of the stated principal amount of Term Loan B, with the remaining balance payable on Term Loan B's maturity date of July 31, 2019. The revolving credit facility matures on December 31, 2017, at which time any outstanding principal balance is due in full.

The interest rate on borrowings under Term Loan A is LIBOR plus a 2.50% spread. The spread ranges from 2.00% to 2.75% based on the Company's total leverage ratio. Subsequent to the First Amendment, the interest rate on borrowings under Term Loan B is LIBOR plus a 3.0% spread with a 0.75% floor. The spread ranges from 2.00% to 3.00% based upon either an ABR or LIBOR borrowing. These new interest rates changed from LIBOR plus a 3.5% spread and a 1.00% floor, where the spread ranged from 2.50% to 3.50% based upon either an ABR or LIBOR borrowing. The revolving credit facility margin and commitment fee are subject to the leveraged based pricing grid, as set forth in the Credit Agreement, as amended.

In connection with the First Amendment, the Company accelerated the amortization of ratable portions of the Debt

Issuance Costs, or DIC, and Original Issuance Discount, or OID, associated with the prior senior secured term loan facilities of $1.2 million. These amounts are reflected in other expense, net in the three and six months ended September 30, 2013. Furthermore, the Company expensed third party debt issuance costs of $1.6 million that did not qualify for deferral, which are reflected in general and administrative costs in the three and six months ended September 30, 2013.

The loans under the Credit Agreement, as amended, are secured by substantially all of our assets and none of such assets will be available to satisfy the claims of our general creditors. The Credit Agreement, as amended, contains customary representations and warranties and customary affirmative and negative covenants. The negative covenants are limited to the following, in each case subject to certain exceptions: a maximum net total leverage ratio; a minimum net interest coverage ratio; limitations on indebtedness and liens; mergers, consolidations or amalgamations, or liquidations, wind-ups or dissolutions; dispositions of property; restricted payments; investments; transactions with affiliates; sale and lease back transactions; change in fiscal periods; negative pledges; restrictive agreements; limitations on line of business; limitations on speculative hedging and limitations on changes of names and jurisdictions. In addition, we are required to meet certain financial covenants at each quarter end, namely Consolidated Net Total Leverage and Consolidated Net Interest Coverage Ratios. As of September 30, 2013, we were compliant with these covenants.

On October 15, 2013, our wholly-owned subsidiary Booz Allen Hamilton Inc. accessed $250 million of its $500 million revolving credit facility to safeguard against the possible consequences of a failure by Congress to increase the U.S. government's ability to incur indebtedness in excess of its current limit. On October 18, 2013, following the increase of the debt limit by Congress, we repaid the $250 million borrowed from the revolving credit facility.

Capital Structure and Resources

Our stockholders’ equity amounted to $390.1 million as of September 30, 2013, an increase of $163.3 million compared to stockholders’ equity of $226.8 million as of March 31, 2013, primarily due to net income of $138.1 million in the six months ended September 30, 2013, stock option exercises, common stock issuances, and stock-based compensation expense of $9.3 million.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2013, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Capital Expenditures

Since we do not own any of our facilities, our capital expenditure requirements primarily relate to the purchase of computers, business systems, furniture, and leasehold improvements to support our operations. Direct facility and equipment costs billed to clients are not treated as capital expenses. Our capital expenditures for the six months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were $6.7 million and $14.4 million, respectively, and the majority of such capital expenditures related to facilities infrastructure, equipment, and information technology. Expenditures for facilities infrastructure and equipment are generally incurred to support new and existing programs across our business. We also incur capital expenditures for information technology to support programs and general enterprise information technology infrastructure.

Commitments and Contingencies

We are subject to a number of reviews, investigations, claims, lawsuits, and other uncertainties related to our business. For a discussion of these items, refer to Note 16 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, or Quarterly Report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.	Legal Proceedings

Our performance under U.S. government contracts and compliance with the terms of those contracts and applicable laws and regulations are subject to continuous audit, review, and investigation by the U.S. government which may include such investigative techniques as subpoenas or civil investigative demands. Given the nature of our business, these audits, reviews, and investigations may focus, among other areas, on various aspects of procurement integrity, labor time reporting, sensitive and/or classified information access and control, executive compensation, and post government employment restrictions. We are not always aware of our status in such matters, but we are currently aware of certain pending audits and investigations involving labor time reporting, procurement integrity, and classified information access. On April 13, 2012, we entered into an Administrative Agreement with the U.S. Air Force, which lifted the proposed debarment of our San Antonio office and removed it from the U.S. government’s Excluded Parties List System. See our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 for additional information. In addition, from time to time, we are also involved in legal proceedings and investigations arising in the ordinary course of business, including those relating to employment matters, relationships with clients and contractors, intellectual property disputes, and other business matters. These legal proceedings seek various remedies, including claims for monetary damages in varying amounts that currently range up to $40.0 million or have a reasonably estimated outcome within that range or are unspecified as to amount. Although the outcome of any such matter is inherently uncertain and may be materially adverse, based on current information, we do not expect any of the currently ongoing audits, reviews, investigations, or litigation to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Six former officers and stockholders who had departed the firm prior to July 31, 2008, the date on which we became majority owned by The Carlyle Group and certain of its affiliated investment funds, as described in the Company’s Annual Report, or the Acquisition, have filed a total of nine suits in various jurisdictions, with original filing dates ranging from July 3, 2008 through December 15, 2009 (three of which were amended on July 2, 2010 and then further amended into one consolidated complaint on September 7, 2010), against us and certain of our current and former directors and officers. Each of the suits arises out of the Acquisition and alleges that the former stockholders are entitled to certain payments that they would have received if they had held their stock at the time of the Acquisition. Some of the suits also allege that the Acquisition price paid to stockholders was insufficient. The various suits assert claims for breach of contract, tortious interference with contract, breach of fiduciary duty, civil Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, or RICO, violations, violations of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, or ERISA, and/or securities and common law fraud. Two of these suits have been dismissed with all appeals exhausted. Five of the remaining suits are pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, the sixth is pending in New York state court, and the seventh is pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California. The aggregate alleged damages sought in these seven remaining suits is approximately $348.7 million ($291.5 million of which is sought to be trebled pursuant to RICO), plus punitive damages, costs, and fees. Although the outcome of any of these cases is inherently uncertain and may be materially adverse, based on current information, management does not expect them to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
