1.Basis of Presentation
Unless the context otherwise requires:

References herein to “Jacobs” are to Jacobs Engineering GroupSolutions Inc. and its predecessors;

References herein to the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our” are to Jacobs Engineering GroupSolutions Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries; and

References herein to the “Group” are to the combined economic interests and activities of the Company and the persons and entities holding noncontrolling interests in our consolidated subsidiaries.


On August 29, 2022, Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. ("JEGI"), the predecessor to Jacobs Solutions Inc., implemented a holding company structure, which resulted in Jacobs Solutions Inc. becoming the parent company of, and successor issuer to, JEGI (the "Holding Company Reorganization"). For purposes of this Quarterly Report, references to the "Company", "we", "us" or "our" or our management or business at any point prior to August 29, 2022 (the "Holding Company Implementation Date") refer to JEGI and its consolidated subsidiaries as the predecessor to Jacobs Solutions Inc.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements and financial information included herein have been prepared pursuant to the interim period reporting requirements of Form 10-Q. Consequently, certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. Readers of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should also read our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 29, 201730, 2022 (“20172022 Form 10-K”).

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of our consolidated financial statements at December 29, 2017,June 30, 2023, and for the three-month periodthree and nine months ended December 29, 2017.

June 30, 2023.

Our interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

Please

On May 9, 2023, the Company announced its intention to separate its Critical Mission Solutions ("CMS") business, resulting in two independent publicly traded companies. Jacobs expects to complete the separation in fiscal 2024 through a distribution to Jacobs' stockholders that is intended to be tax-free to Jacobs’ stockholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes.There can be no assurances with respect to the timing or form of a separation transaction and completion remains subject to final approval by Jacobs’ Board of Directors and other customary conditions. As of June 30, 2023, and the three and nine months then ended, Critical Mission Solutions continues to be presented in continuing operations.
As part of the new Company strategy, during the first quarter of fiscal year 2023, Jacobs formed a reporting and operating segment, Divergent Solutions ("DVS"), to further strengthen our ability to drive value for our clients (the "DVS segment reorganization"). DVS supports both lines of business as the core foundation for developing and delivering innovative, next-generation cloud, cyber, data and digital technologies. For a further discussion of our segment information, please refer to Note 17 Definitions18- Segment Information.
On February 4, 2022, the Company acquired StreetLight Data, Inc. ("StreetLight"). StreetLight is a pioneer of Notesmobility analytics who uses its data and machine learning resources to Consolidated Financial Statements includedshed light on mobility and enable users to solve complex transportation problems. The Company paid total base consideration of approximately $190.8 million in cash, and issued $0.9 million in equity and $5.2 million in in-the-money stock options to the former owners of StreetLight. The Company also paid off StreetLight's debt of approximately $1.0 million simultaneously with the consummation of the acquisition. The Company has recorded its final purchase price allocation associated with the acquisition, which is summarized in Note 15- Other Business Combinations.
On November 19, 2021, Jacobs acquired all outstanding shares of common stock of BlackLynx, Inc. ("BlackLynx"), a provider of high-performance software, to complement Jacobs' portfolio of cyber, intelligence and digital solutions. The Company paid total base consideration of approximately $235.4 million in cash to the former owners of BlackLynx. In conjunction with the acquisition, the Company also paid off BlackLynx's debt of approximately $5.3 million simultaneously

with the consummation of the acquisition.The Company has recorded its final purchase price allocation associated with the acquisition, which is summarized in Note 15- Other Business Combinations.
On March 2, 2021, Jacobs completed the strategic investment of a 65% interest in PA Consulting Group Limited ("PA Consulting"), a UK-based leading innovation and transformation consulting firm. The total consideration paid by the Company was $1.7 billion, funded through cash on hand, proceeds from a new term loan and draws on the Company's existing revolving credit facility. The remaining 35% interest was acquired by PA Consulting employees, whose redeemable noncontrolling interests had a fair value of $582.4 million on the closing date, including subsequent purchase accounting adjustments. PA Consulting is accounted for as a consolidated subsidiary and as a separate operating segment. See Note 14- PA Consulting Business Combination for more discussion on the investment and Note 11- Borrowings for more discussion on the financing for the transaction.
On April 26, 2019, Jacobs completed the sale of its Energy, Chemicals and Resources ("ECR") business to Worley Limited ("Worley"), a company incorporated in Australia, for a purchase price of $3.4 billion consisting of (i) $2.8 billion in cash plus (ii) 58.2 million ordinary shares of Worley, subject to adjustments for changes in working capital and certain other items (the “ECR sale”). As a result of the ECR sale, substantially all ECR-related assets and liabilities were sold (the "Disposal Group"). We determined that the Disposal Group should be reported as discontinued operations in accordance with ASC 210-05, Discontinued Operations because their disposal represents a strategic shift that had a major effect on our operations and financial results. As such, the financial results of the ECR business are reflected in our 2017 Form 10-Kunaudited Consolidated Statements of Earnings as discontinued operations for all periods presented and all of the definitionsECR business to be sold under the terms of certain terms used herein.

the ECR sale had been conveyed to Worley and as such, no amounts remain held for sale.

2.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

2.    Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to employ estimates and make assumptions that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities, the revenues and expenses reported for the periods covered by the accompanying consolidated financial statements, and certain amounts disclosed in these Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Although such estimates and assumptions are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances and are based on management’s most recent assessment of the underlying facts and circumstances utilizing the most current information available and past experience, actual results could differ significantly from those estimates and assumptions. Our estimates, judgments, and assumptions are evaluated periodically and adjusted accordingly.
Please refer to Note 2 2- Significant Accounting Policies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 20172022 Form 10-K for a discussion of theother significant estimates and assumptions affecting our consolidated financial statements.

3.

Fair Value and Fair Value Measurements

3.    Fair Value and Fair Value Measurements
Certain amounts included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented at “fairfair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the date fair value is determined (the “measurement date”). When determining fair value, we consider the principal or most advantageous market in which we would transact, and we consider only those assumptions we believe a typical market participant would consider when pricing an asset or liability. In measuring fair value, we use the following inputs in the order of priority indicated:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, such as (i) quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; (ii) quoted prices in markets that have insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (e.g., less active markets); and (iii) model-driven valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated with, observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the fair value measurement.

JACOBS ENGINEERING GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Please refer to Note 2 2- Significant Accounting Policies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 20172022 Form 10-K for a more complete discussion of the various items within the consolidated financial statements measured at fair value and the methods used to determine fair value.

Please also refer to Note 17- Commitments and Contingencies and Derivative Financial Instruments for discussion regarding the Company's derivative instruments.


Page 12

JACOBS SOLUTIONS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
The net carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and payables and notes payableshort-term debt approximate Fair Valuefair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Similarly, we believe the carrying value of long-term debt also approximates Fair Value based on the interest rates and scheduled maturities applicable to the outstanding borrowings.

New Accounting Pronouncements

         Revenue Recognition

From time to time, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issues accounting standards updates (each being an “ASU”) to its Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), which constitutes the primary source of U.S. GAAP.  The Company regularly monitors ASUs as they are issued and considers their applicability to its business.  All ASUs applicable to the Company are adopted by the due date and in the manner prescribed by the FASB.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The new guidance provided by ASU 2014-09 is intended to remove inconsistencies and perceived weaknesses in the existing revenue requirements, provideSee Note 11- Borrowings for a more robust framework for addressing revenue issues, improve comparability, provide more useful information and simplify the preparation of financial statements.  ASU 2014-09 was initially effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. On July 9, 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of the effective date of this standard.  The revised effective date for the standard is for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods therein.  The FASB also approved changes allowing for early adoption of the standard as of the original effective date.  

The Company’s adoption activities will be performed over three phases: (i) assessment, (ii) design, and (iii) implementation. Our assessment phase is complete. We have established a cross-functional team to implement ASU 2014-09.  We have identified and are in the process of implementing changes to our systems, processes and internal controls to meet the standard’s updated reporting and disclosure requirements.  The following are the potential significant differences identified during the assessment phase:

Performance Obligations

Under current U.S. GAAP, the Company typically considers engineering and construction services as separate performance obligations. Under ASU 2014-09, the Company has determined, in most instances, it is likely that engineering and construction services will be required to be combined into a single performance obligation. In these instances, this will likely change the timing and pattern of revenue recognition.

Contract Modifications

In many instances, the Company enters into contracts for construction services subsequent to entering in to engineering services contracts (“Phased Projects”). Under ASU 2014-09, the construction services contract may be deemed to modify the engineering contract, or may be required to be combined with the engineering contract. This modification or combination of contracts may result in a cumulative catchup adjustment, which will have an immediate impact on the Company’s results of operations in the period the contract combination or modification occurs. In addition, it will change the timing and pattern of revenue recognition after the period the contracts have been combined or modified.  The Company analyzed its current Phased Projects and concluded that a significant number of these arrangements would be combined under ASU 2014-09.

The Company currently intends to adopt the new standard using the Modified Retrospective application. This standard could have a significant impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and an administrative impact on its operations and will depend on the magnitude of the items discussed above. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact through the design and implementation phases.

         Lease Accounting

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 Leases. ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for most leases. ASU 2016-02 is effective for public entity financial statements for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods.  Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period.  The guidance must be adopted using a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements.  The Company is evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated

Page 8


JACOBS ENGINEERING GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

financial statements.  This standard could have a significant administrative impact on its operations, and the Company will further assess the impact through its implementation program.

Hedge Accounting

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU  No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities.  ASU No. 2017-12 makes targeted improvements to the current guidance on accounting for hedges so that it provides a better view of an entity’s risk management activities and how the entity’s hedging strategies are being used to manage risk. In addition, ASU No. 2017-12 further simplifies the application of certain aspects of hedge accounting, including the measurement of hedge effectiveness.  The revised guidance becomes effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018.  The Company is evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements. It is not expected that the updated guidance will have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

5.

Business Combinations

On December 15, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of CH2M HILL Companies, Ltd. (CH2M), an international provider of engineering, construction, and technical services, by acquiring 100% of the outstanding shares of CH2M common stock and preferred stock. The purpose of the acquisition is to further diversify the Company’s presence in the water, nuclear and environmental remediation sectors and to further the Company’s profitable growth strategy. The Company paid total consideration of approximately $1.8 billion in cash and issued approximately $1.4 billion of Jacobs’ common stock, or 20.7 million shares, to the former stockholders and certain equity award holders of CH2M. In connection with the acquisition, the Company also assumed CH2M’s revolving credit facility and second lien notes, including a $20 million prepayment penalty, which totaled approximately $700 million of long-term debt.  Immediately following the effective time of the acquisition, the Company repaid CH2M’s revolving credit facility and second lien notes including the related prepayment penalty.

The following summarizes the estimated fair values of CH2M assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date (in millions):

JACOBS ENGINEERING GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Customer relationships, contracts and backlog represent the fair value of existing contracts, the underlying customer relationships and backlog of consolidated subsidiaries and have lives ranging from 5 to 13 years (weighted average life of approximately 8 years). The fair value of the acquired trade name has an estimated life of three years. Other intangible assets and liabilities primarily consistdiscussion of the fair value of office leases and have a weighted average life of approximately 12 years.

Estimated fairlong-term debt.

Fair value measurements relating to the CH2M acquisitionour business combinations and goodwill allocations related to our segment realignment are made primarily using Level 3 inputs including discounted cash flow techniques. Fair value for the identified intangible assets is generally estimated using inputs primarily fromfor the income approach which include the use of bothusing the multiple period excess earnings method and the relief from royalties method. The significant assumptions used in estimating fair value include (i) revenue projections of the estimated life the asset will contribute to cash flows, such asbusiness, including profitability, (ii) attrition rate of customers or remaining contractual terms, (ii) profitabilityrates and (iii) the estimated discount rate that reflectreflects the level of risk associated with receiving future cash flows. The estimated fair value of land has been determined using the market approach, which arrives at an indication of value by comparing the site being valued to sites that have been recently acquired in arm’s-length transactions. Personal property assets with an active and identifiable secondary market are valued using the market approach. Buildings and land improvements are valued using the cost approach using a direct cost model built on estimates of replacement cost. Other personal property assets, such as furniture, fixtures and equipment, are valued using the cost approach, which is based on replacement or reproduction costs of the asset less depreciation.

Other deferred The fair value of the contingent consideration is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation and the significant assumptions used include projections of revenues and probabilities of meeting those projections. Key inputs to the valuation of the noncontrolling interests include projected cash flows and the expected volatility associated with those cash flows.

Remaining Performance Obligation
The Company’s remaining performance obligations as of June 30, 2023 represent a measure of the total dollar value of work to be performed on contracts awarded and in progress. The Company had approximately $17.2 billion in remaining performance obligations as of June 30, 2023. The Company expects to recognize approximately 51% of its remaining performance obligations into revenue within the next twelve months and the remaining 49% thereafter. The majority of the remaining performance obligations after the first twelve months are expected to be recognized over a four year period.
Although our remaining performance obligations reflect business volumes that are considered to be firm, normal business activities including scope adjustments, deferrals or cancellations may occur that impact volume or expected timing of their recognition. Remaining performance obligations are adjusted to reflect any known project cancellations, revisions to project scope and cost, foreign currency exchange fluctuations and project deferrals, as appropriate.
5.     Earnings Per Share and Certain Related Information
Basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) are computed using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation method that determines EPS for common shares and participating securities. The undistributed earnings are allocated between common shares and participating securities as if all earnings had been distributed during the period. Participating securities and common shares have equal rights to undistributed earnings. Net earnings used for the purpose of determining basic and diluted EPS is determined by taking net earnings less earnings available to participating securities.
The following table reconciles the denominator used to compute basic EPS to the denominator used to compute diluted EPS for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023 and July 1, 2022 (in thousands):

9.    Income Taxes
                 The Company’s effective tax rates from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and July 1, 2022 were 23.9% and 21.9%, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the primary differences between the statutory U.S. federal corporate tax rate of 21% and the Company’s effective tax rate were associated with U.S. state income tax expense of $5.3 million and U.S. tax on foreign earnings of $5.4 million, partly offset by a $3.5 million tax benefit for the release of previously valued foreign tax credits. For the three months ended July 1, 2022 the main differences were attributable to U.S. state income tax expense of $8.4 million and U.S tax on foreign earnings of $5.3 million, partly offset by a $9.1 million tax benefit related to the reversal of a withholding tax accrual on certain intercompany loans.

                The Company's effective tax rates from continuing operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2023 and July 1, 2022 were 18.2% and 20.4%, respectively. The primary differences between the statutory U.S. federal corporate tax rate of 21.0% and the Company’s effective tax rate for the nine months ended June 30, 2023 were related to net tax benefits of $39.4 million mostly related to uncertain tax positions in the U.S. that were effectively settled, of which $30.8 million related to positions carried forward from the fiscal 2018 acquisition of CH2M Hill Companies Ltd., as well as a tax benefit of $12.1 million for the release of previously valued foreign tax credits. These benefits were partly offset by U.S. state income tax expense of $15.8 million and U.S. tax on foreign earnings of $13.6 million. For the nine months ended July 1, 2022, the main differences were associated with tax benefits of $15.4 million for the release of previously valued foreign tax credits, $9.1 million related to the reversal of a withholding tax accrual on certain intercompany loans, and $4.9 million from filing amended state tax returns. These benefits were partly offset by U.S. state income tax expense of $17.4 million and U.S. tax on foreign earnings of $9.3 million.
The amount of income taxes the Company pays is subject to ongoing audits by tax jurisdictions around the world. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by tax authorities throughout the world, including such major jurisdictions as Australia, Canada, India, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the United States. Our estimate of the potential outcome of any uncertain tax issue is subject to our assessment of the relevant risks, facts, and circumstances existing at the time. The Company believes that it has adequately provided for reasonably foreseeable outcomes related to these matters. However, future results may include favorable or unfavorable adjustments to our estimated tax liabilities in the period the assessments are made or resolved, which may impact our effective tax rate.
10.    Joint Ventures, VIEs and Other Investments
For the Company's consolidated variable interest entities ("VIE") joint ventures, the carrying value of assets and liabilities was $385.9 million and $245.5 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2023 and $353.9 million and $228.1 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2022. There are no consolidated VIEs that have debt or credit facilities.
For the Company's proportionate consolidated VIEs, the carrying value of assets and liabilities was $133.2 million and $145.8 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2023, and $109.3 million and $129.2 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2022.
Our investments in equity method joint ventures on the Consolidated Balance Sheets (reported in Other Noncurrent Assets: Miscellaneous) as of June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 were $51.7 million and $56.6 million, respectively. Additionally, income from equity method joint ventures (reported in Revenue) was $7.6 million and $10.8 million, respectively, during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and July 1, 2022, with $25.1 million and $30.1 million, respectively, reporting in the corresponding nine month periods. As of June 30, 2023, the Company's equity method investment carrying values do not include material amounts exceeding their share of the respective joint ventures' reported net assets.
Accounts receivable from unconsolidated joint ventures accounted for under the equity method was $17.8 million and $21.1 million as of June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively.

Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loans
On February 7, 2014, Jacobs and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a $1.6 billion long-term unsecured, revolving credit facility (as amended, the “2014 Revolving Credit Facility”) with a syndicate of U.S. and international banks and financial institutions. On March 27, 2019, the Company entered into a second amended and restated credit agreement (the "Revolving Credit Facility"), which amended and restated the 2014 Revolving Credit Facility by, among other things, (a) extending the maturity date of the credit facility to March 27, 2024, (b) increasing the facility amount to $2.25 billion (with an accordion feature that allows a further increase of the facility amount up to $3.25 billion), (c) eliminating the covenants restricting investments, joint ventures and acquisitions by the Company and its subsidiaries and (d) adjusting the financial covenants to eliminate the net worth covenant upon the removal of the same covenant from the Company’s existing Note Purchase Agreement (defined below). On February 6, 2023, the Company amended and restated the Revolving Credit Facility to, among other things: (a) extend the maturity date to February 6, 2028, (b) replace and adjust interest rates based on market conditions and incorporate a sustainability-linked pricing adjustment, (c) increase the Consolidated Leverage Ratio financial covenant to 3.50:1.00 (subject to temporary increases to 4.00:1.00 following the closing of certain material acquisitions), (d) eliminate the net worth financial covenant, and (e) add Jacobs Solutions Inc. as a guarantor of the obligations of JEGI and its subsidiaries under the Revolving Credit Facility.
The Revolving Credit Facility permits the Company to borrow in U.S. dollars, certain specified foreign currencies, and any other currency that may be approved in accordance with the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility also provides for a financial letter of credit sub facility of $400.0 million, permits performance letters of credit, and provides for a $100.0 million sub facility for swing line loans. Letters of credit are subject to fees based on the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio and Debt Rating, whichever is more favorable to the Company. The Company pays a facility fee of between 0.10% and 0.25% per annum depending on the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio and Debt Rating.
On January 20, 2021, the Company entered into an unsecured delayed draw term loan facility (the “2021 Term Loan Facility”) with a syndicate of financial institutions as lenders. Under the 2021 Term Loan Facility, the Company borrowed an aggregate principal amount of $200.0 million and £650.0 million. The proceeds of the term loans were used primarily to fund the Company's investment in PA Consulting. The 2021 Term Loan Facility contains affirmative and negative covenants and events of default customary for financings of this type that are consistent with those included in the Revolving Credit Facility and the 2020 Term Loan Facility. On February 6, 2023, the Company amended and restated the 2021 Term Loan Facility to, among other things: (a) extend the maturity date of the U.S. dollar term loan to February 6, 2026 and the British sterling term loan to September 1, 2025, (b) replace and adjust interest rates based on market conditions and incorporate a sustainability-linked pricing adjustment, (c) increase the Consolidated Leverage Ratio financial covenant to 3.50:1.00 (subject to temporary increases to 4.00:1.00 following the closing of certain material acquisitions), (d) eliminate the net worth financial covenant, and (e) add Jacobs as a guarantor of the obligations of JEGI under the 2021 Term Loan Facility.
On March 25, 2020, the Company entered into an unsecured term loan facility (the “2020 Term Loan Facility”) with a syndicate of financial institutions as lenders. Under the 2020 Term Loan Facility, the Company borrowed an aggregate principal amount of $730.0 million and one of the Company's U.K. subsidiaries borrowed an aggregate principal amount of £250.0 million. The proceeds of the term loans were used to repay an existing term loan with a maturity date of June 2020 and for general corporate purposes. The 2020 Term Loan Facility contains affirmative and negative covenants and events of default customary for financings of this type that are consistent with those included in the Revolving Credit Facility. On February 6, 2023, the Company amended the 2020 Term Loan Facility to, among other things: (a) replace and adjust interest rates based on market conditions and incorporate a sustainability-linked pricing adjustment, (b) increase the Consolidated Leverage Ratio financial covenant to 3.50:1.00 (subject to temporary increases to 4.00:1.00 following the closing of certain material acquisitions), (c) eliminate the net worth financial covenant, and (d) add Jacobs as a guarantor of the obligations of JEGI and Jacobs U.K.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022, the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan Facilities were amended to permit the Holding Company Reorganization.
We were in compliance with the covenants under the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan Facilities at June 30, 2023.
Bonds, Sustainability-Linked
On February 16, 2023, JEGI completed an offering of $500 million aggregate principal amount of Sustainability-Linked Senior Notes due 2033 (the “Bonds”). The Bonds are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company (the “Guarantee”). The Bonds and the Guarantee were offered pursuant to a prospectus supplement, dated February 13, 2023, to the prospectus dated February 6, 2023, that forms a part of the Company's and JEGI’s automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3ASR previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of February 16, 2023, between JEGI, as issuer, the Company, as guarantor, and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as amended and supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of February 16, 2023 (the “First Supplemental Indenture”). Interest on the Bonds is payable semi-annually in arrears on each March 1 and September 1, commencing on September 1, 2023, until maturity. The Bonds bear interest at 5.9% per annum, subject to adjustments, as discussed in note (5) to the table above.
Prior to December 1, 2032 (the “Par Call Date”), JEGI may redeem the Bonds at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at the redemption price calculated by JEGI (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of: (1) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Bonds being redeemed, assuming that such Bonds matured on the Par Call Date, discounted to the redemption date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months), at the Treasury Rate (as defined in the First Supplemental Indenture) plus 35 basis points, less (b) interest accrued to the redemption date, and (2) 100% of the principal amount of such Bonds to be redeemed, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest on the Bonds, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. At any time and from time to time on or after the Par Call Date, JEGI may redeem the Bonds, at its option, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Bonds to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, up to, but excluding, the redemption date.
Senior Notes, Series A, B and C
On March 12, 2018, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement (as amended, the "Note Purchase Agreement") with respect to the issuance and sale in a private placement transaction of $500 million in the aggregate principal amount of the Company’s senior notes in three series (collectively, “Senior Notes”). In connection with the Holding Company Reorganization, which was completed in August 2022, the Company launched an offer to repurchase its outstanding Senior Notes at par plus accrued and unpaid interest, and without any make-whole premium. In fiscal first quarter 2023, the Company repurchased $481 million of Senior Notes held by holders who accepted the offer with proceeds from the Revolving Credit Facility. In December 2022, the Company repurchased the remaining $19 million of Senior Notes.
We believe the carrying value of the Revolving Credit Facility, the Term Loan Facilities and other debt outstanding approximates fair value based on the interest rates and scheduled maturities applicable to the outstanding borrowings. The fair value of the Bonds is estimated to be $488.9 million at June 30, 2023, based on Level 2 inputs. The fair value is determined by discounting future cash flows using interest rates available for issuances with similar terms and average maturities.
Other arrangements
During fiscal 2022, the Company entered into two treasury lock agreements with an aggregate notional value of $500.0 million to manage its expected interest rate exposure in anticipation of issuing up to $500 million of fixed rate debt. On February 13, 2023 and with the issuance of the Bonds, the Company settled these treasury lock agreements. See Note 17- Commitments and Contingencies and Derivative Financial Instruments for more discussion around this transaction.

JACOBS SOLUTIONS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
During the fiscal first quarter of 2023 and 2022, as a result of the Company's transformation initiatives, including the changing nature of the Company's use of office space for its workforce, the Company evaluated its existing real estate lease portfolio. These initiatives resulted in the abandonment of certain leased office spaces and the establishment of a formal plan to sublease certain other leased spaces that will no longer be utilized by the Company. In connection with the Company’s actions related to these initiatives, the Company evaluated certain of its lease right-of-use assets and related property, equipment and leasehold improvements for impairment under ASC 360.

As a result of the analysis, the Company recognized impairment losses during the nine months ended June 30, 2023 of $38.1 million compared to $74.6 million for the corresponding period last year, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statement of earnings. The impairment losses recorded include $33.1 million and $56.6 million related to right-of-use lease assets and $5.0 million and $18.0 million related to other long-lived assets, including property, equipment and improvements and leasehold improvements for the fiscal year-to-date 2023 and 2022 periods, respectively.

The fair values for the asset groups relating to the impaired long-lived assets were estimated primarily using discounted cash flow models (income approach) with Level 3 inputs. The significant assumptions used in estimating fair value include the expected downtime prior to the commencement of future subleases, projected sublease income over the remaining lease periods and discount rates that reflect the level of risk associated with receiving future cash flows.

17.     Commitments and Contingencies and Derivative Financial Instruments
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk under its variable rate borrowings and additionally, due to the nature of the Company's international operations, we are at times exposed to foreign currency risk. As such, we sometimes enter into foreign exchange hedging contracts and interest rate hedging contracts in order to limit our exposure to fluctuating foreign currencies and interest rates.
During fiscal 2022, the Company entered into two treasury lock agreements with an aggregate notional value of $500 million to manage its interest rate exposure to the anticipated issuance of fixed rate debt before December 2023. On February 13, 2023, the Company settled these treasury lock agreements and issued the Bonds in the aggregate principal amount of $500 million, which resulted in the receipt of cash and a gain of $37.4 million, before tax, which is being amortized to interest expense and recognized over the term of intangiblethe Bonds. See Note 11- Borrowings for further discussion relating to the terms of the Bonds. The fair value of the treasury locks at September 30, 2022 was $40.9 million, all of which was included in current assets within receivables and contract assets on the consolidated balance sheet. The net gain on these instruments was $27.2 million and $30.8 million, net of tax, and is included in accumulated other comprehensive income as of June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively.

JACOBS SOLUTIONS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
The Company is party to interest rate swap agreements and a cross-currency swap agreement with notional values of $778.9 million and $127.8 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2023 to manage the interest rate exposure on our variable rate loans and the foreign currency exposure on our USD borrowings by a European subsidiary. By entering into the swap agreements, the Company converted the LIBOR and SONIA rate based liabilities into fixed rate liabilities and, for the cross currency swap, our LIBOR rate based borrowing in USD to a fixed rate Euro liability, for periods ranging from three and a half to ten years. During the second quarter of fiscal 2023, the aggregate liability amounts denominated in U.S. dollars transitioned from underlying LIBOR benchmarked rates to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") and the terms of the swaps were amended accordingly. The swaps were designated as cash-flow hedges in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The fair value of the interest rate and cross currency swaps at June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 was $107.4 million and $128.2 million, respectively, which is included in miscellaneous other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The unrealized net gain (loss) on these interest rate and cross currency swaps was $81.5 million and $87.5 million, net of tax, and was included in accumulated other comprehensive income as of June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively.
Additionally, the Company held foreign exchange forward contracts in currencies that support our operations, including British Pound, Euro, Australian Dollar and other currencies, with notional values of$829.3 million at June 30, 2023 and $298.2 million at September 30, 2022. The length of these contracts currently ranges from one week to 12 months. The fair value of the foreign exchange contracts at June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 was $15.9 million and $(3.2) million, respectively, which is included within receivables and contract assets for the remainder of fiscal 2018current period and within accounts payable for the succeeding years.  prior period on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and with associated income statement impacts included in miscellaneous income (expense) in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.
The fair value measurements of these derivatives are being made using Level 2 inputs under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, as the measurements are based on observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets. We are exposed to risk from credit-related losses resulting from nonperformance by counterparties to our financial instruments. We perform credit evaluations of our counterparties under forward exchange and interest rate contracts and expect all counterparties to meet their obligations. We have not experienced credit losses from our counterparties.
Contractual Guarantees and Insurance
In the normal course of business, we make contractual commitments (some of which are supported by separate guarantees) and on occasion we are a party in a litigation or arbitration proceeding. The litigation or arbitration in which we are involved includes personal injury claims, professional liability claims and breach of contract claims. Where we provide a separate guarantee, it is strictly in support of the underlying contractual commitment. Guarantees take various forms including surety bonds required by law, or standby letters of credit ("LOC" and also referred to as “bank guarantees”) or corporate guarantees given to induce a party to enter into a contract with a subsidiary. Standby LOCs are also used as security for advance payments or in various other transactions. The guarantees have various expiration dates ranging from an arbitrary date to completion of our work (e.g., engineering only) to completion of the overall project. We record in the Consolidated Balance Sheets amounts belowrepresenting our estimated liability relating to such guarantees, litigation and insurance claims. Guarantees are accounted for in accordance with ASC 460-10, Guarantees, at fair value at the inception of the guarantee.
At June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, the Company had issued and outstanding approximately $326.2 million and $280.5 million, respectively, in LOCs and$2.0 billion and $2.2 billion, respectively, in surety bonds.
We maintain insurance coverage for most insurable aspects of our business and operations. Our insurance programs have varying coverage limits depending upon the type of insurance and include preliminary amortization estimatescertain conditions and exclusions which insurance companies may raise in response to any claim that is asserted by or against the Company. We have also elected to retain a portion of losses and liabilities that occur through using various deductibles, limits, and retentions under our insurance programs. As a result, we may be subject to a future liability for which we are only partially insured or completely uninsured. We intend to mitigate any such future liability by continuing to exercise prudent business judgment in negotiating the CH2M opening balance sheet fair values thatterms and conditions of the contracts which the Company enters with its clients. Our insurers are still preliminaryalso subject to business risk and, as a result, one or more of them may be unable to fulfill their insurance obligations due to insolvency or otherwise.
Additionally, as a contractor providing services to the U.S. federal government, we are subject to change.

many types of audits, investigations, and claims by, or on behalf of, the government including with respect to contract performance, pricing, cost allocations, procurement practices, labor practices, and socioeconomic obligations. Furthermore, our income, franchise, and similar tax returns and filings are also subject to audit and investigation by the Internal Revenue Service,

Segment Information

most states within the United States, as well as by various government agencies representing jurisdictions outside the United States.

Our Consolidated Balance Sheets include amounts representing our probable estimated liability relating to such claims, guarantees, litigation, audits, and investigations. We perform an analysis to determine the level of reserves to establish for insurance-related claims that are known and have been asserted against us, as well as for insurance-related claims that are believed to have been incurred based on actuarial analysis but have not yet been reported to our claims administrators as of the respective balance sheet dates. We include any adjustments to such insurance reserves in our consolidated results of operations. Insurance recoveries are recorded as assets if recovery is probable and estimated liabilities are not reduced by expected insurance recoveries.
The Company’sCompany believes, after consultation with counsel, that such guarantees, litigation, U.S. government contract-related audits, investigations and claims, and income tax audits and investigations should not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements, beyond amounts currently accrued.
Litigation and Investigations
In 2012, CH2M HILL Australia PTY Limited, a subsidiary of CH2M, entered into a 50/50 integrated joint venture with Australian construction contractor UGL Infrastructure Pty Limited. The joint venture entered into a Consortium Agreement with General Electric and GE Electrical International Inc. The Consortium was awarded a subcontract by JKC Australia LNG Pty Limited ("JKC") for the engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning of a 360 MW Combined Cycle Power Plant for INPEX Operations Australia Pty Limited at Blaydin Point, Darwin, NT, Australia (the "Legacy CH2M Matter"). The subcontract was terminated in January 2017. In or around August 2017, the Consortium commenced an arbitration. On April 12, 2022, JKC and the Consortium entered into a confidential deed of settlement (“Settlement Agreement”). Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, CH2M, as guarantor of CH2M Australia PTY Limited’s obligations with respect to the subcontract with JKC, made a cash payment to JKC in April 2022 of AUD 640 million (or approximately $475 million using mid-April 2022 exchange rates). As a result of the settlement agreement, additional pre-tax charges of $91.3 million were recorded during the second quarter of fiscal 2022 for this matter (over amounts previously reserved and reported in long-term Other Deferred Liabilities in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet). The Settlement Agreement provided for a release of claims between JKC and each member of the Consortium, and in connection with this agreement the members of the Consortium also waived all claims against each other and their respective parent guarantors relating to the project.
On December 22, 2008, a coal fly ash pond at the Kingston Power Plant of the Tennessee Valley Authority ("TVA") was breached, releasing fly ash waste into the Emory River and surrounding community. In February 2009, TVA awarded a contract to the Company to provide project management services associated with the clean-up. All remediation and dredging were completed in August 2013 by other contractors under direct contracts with TVA. The Company did not perform the remediation, and its scope was limited to program management services. Certain employees of the contractors performing the cleanup work on the project filed lawsuits against the Company beginning in August 2013, alleging they were injured due to the Company's failure to protect the plaintiffs from exposure to fly ash, and asserting related personal injuries. The primary case, Greg Adkisson, et al. v. Jacobs Engineering Group Inc., case No. 3:13-CV-505-TAV-HBG, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee, consisted of 10 consolidated cases. This case and the related cases involved several hundred plaintiffs that were employees of the contractors that completed the remediation and dredging work. In the second fiscal quarter of 2023, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the plaintiffs whose cases had not been previously dismissed. As of the third fiscal quarter of 2023, all conditions to the settlement have been satisfied, and the cases have been dismissed. The amount of the settlement was not material to the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
18.    Segment Information
During the first quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company reorganized its operating and reporting structure to report results under a new operating segment, Divergent Solutions, in addition to the current operating segments. The Company's four operating segments are organized around fournow comprised of its two global lines of business (“LOBs”("LOBs"): Critical Mission Solutions ("CMS") and People & Places Solutions ("P&PS"), which also serve asits business unit Divergent Solutions ("DVS") and its majority investment in PA Consulting. The formation of the Company’sDVS operating segments: Aerospace & Technology, Buildings & Infrastructure, Industrialsegment resulted in certain portions of our CMS and Petroleum & Chemicals. P&PS businesses moving to the new segment to align with the Company's business strategy.
The Company’s LOB leadership and internal reporting structures report to the Chief Executive Officer who is also the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), and enable the CODM tocan evaluate the performance of each of these segments and make appropriate resource allocations among each of the segments. For purposes of the Company’s goodwill impairment testing, it has been determined that the Company’s operating segments are also its reporting units based on management’s conclusion that the components comprising each of its operating segments share similar economic characteristics and meet the aggregation criteria in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other.

Under the currentthis organization, each LOB has a president that reports directly to the CODM. In addition, the sales function which had been managed centrally for many years, is managed on an LOB basis,by segment, and accordingly, the associated cost is embedded in the new

segments and reported to the respective LOB presidents.head of each segment. In addition, a portion of the costs of other support functions (e.g., finance, legal, human resources, and information technology) is allocated to each LOBsegment using methodologies which, we believe, effectively attribute the cost of these support functions to the revenue generating activities of the Company on a rational basis. The cost of the Company’s cash incentive plan, the Leadership Performance Plan ("LPP"), formerly named the Management Incentive Plan, (“MIP”) and the expense associated with the Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. 1999 Stock Incentive Plan, (“1999 SIP”which was amended and restated in the second quarter of 2023 and is now referred to as the Jacobs 2023 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2023 SIP") have likewise been charged to the LOBssegments except for those amounts determined to relate to the business as a whole (which amounts remain in corporate’s results of operations)other corporate expenses).

Financial information for each LOBsegment is reviewed by the CODM to assess performance and make decisions regarding the allocation of resources. The Company generally does not track assets by LOB, nor does it provide such information to the CODM.

The CODM evaluates the operating performance of our LOBsoperating segments using segment operating profit, which is defined as margin less “corporate charges” (e.g., the allocated amounts described above). The Company incurs certain Selling, General and Administrative costs (“SG&A”) that relate to its business as a whole which are not allocated to the LOBs.

On December 15, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of CH2M.  For purposes of the Company’s first quarter fiscal 2018 segment reporting, the operating financial information of CH2M has been categorized within the Company’s existing LOB business structure, with its sales and operating profit results for the time period during which CH2M has been under the ownership of the Company (December 15, 2017 - December 29, 2017) being allocated to the Company’s A&T, B&I and P&C lines of business under a transitional business organization structure.  Additionally, the preliminary purchase accounting for the acquisition, including opening balance sheet fair value determinations as well as final segment categorizations are still in process.

Additionally, the nine month period of fiscal 2023 included approximately $15.0 million in net favorable impacts from cost reductions compared to the prior year period, which was associated mainly with net favorable impacts during first quarter from changes in employee benefit programs of $41 million offset by approximately $26 million in higher spend in company technology platforms and other personnel and corporate cost increases.
(2)The three and nine months ended June 30, 2023 included $17.2 million in restructuring and other charges relating to the Company's investment in PA Consulting (primarily employee separation costs) and $13.4 million relating to the separation activities (mainly professional services) around the CMS separation, and the nine months ended June 30, 2023 and July 1, 2022 included $38.1 million and $74.6 million, respectively in real estate impairment charges relating to the Company's transformation initiatives. Also included in the nine months ended July 1, 2022 is $91.3 million related to the final pre-tax settlement of the Legacy CH2M Matter, net of previously recorded reserves.
(3)The three and nine month periods ended July 1, 2022 included a $13.9 million gain related to a cost method investment sold during the period. The nine months ended July 1, 2022 included $3.5 million in income associated with final exit activities associated with our AWE ML investment and a gain of $7.1 million related to a lease termination. Additionally, the unfavorable change in Other Expense, net for the periods presented are attributable mainly to higher net interest expense year over year, primarily due to higher interest rates as well as the full 2023 period impacts of increased levels of debt outstanding due to fiscal 2022 incremental borrowings associated with the funding of the StreetLight and BlackLynx acquisitions and the payment of the Legacy CH2M Matter settlement.

(1)Included in “otherother corporate items”expenses in the above table are costs and expenses, which relate to general corporate activities as well as corporate-managed benefit and insurance programs. Such costs and expenses include: (i) those elements of SG&A expenses relating to the business as a whole; (ii) those elements of the Management Incentive Plan and the 1999 SIPour incentive compensation plans relating to corporate personnel whose other compensation costs are not allocated to the LOBs; (iii) the amortization of intangible assets acquired as part of purchased business combinations; (iv) the quarterly variances between the Company’s actual costs of certain of its self-insured integrated risk and employee benefit programs and amounts charged to the LOBs; and (v) certain adjustments relating to costs associated with the Company’s international defined benefit pension plans. In addition, “otherother corporate items” includesexpenses may also include from time to time certain adjustments to contract margins (both positive and negative) associated with projects, as well as other items, where it has been determined in the opinion of management, that such adjustments are not indicative of the performance of the related LOBLOB.

Restructuring and Other Charges

During the fourth fiscal quarter of 2017, the Company implemented certain restructuring activities (primarily severance related activities) associated with the Company’s announced definitive agreement to acquire CH2M.  

Following the closing of the CH2M acquisition, these activities have continued into the first fiscal quarter of 2018 and include associated charges for professional services, personnel costs, severance and costs associated with co-locating Jacobs and CH2M offices amounting to approximately $19.3 million in pre-tax charges during first quarter ended December 29, 2017.  These activities are expected to continue through 2019.  These activities are not expected to involve the exit of any service types or client end-markets.

During the second fiscal quarter of 2017, the Company entered into strategic business restructuring activities associated with realignment of its Europe, U.K. and Middle East regional operations in our B&I segment.  Pre-tax net charges of $22.6 million were recorded associated mainly with net realizable value write-offs on contract accounts receivable of $16.5 million, with additional charges recorded for statutory redundancy and severance costs of $1.4 million and other liabilities of $4.7 million which are both expected to be paid or settled within the next 12 months.  Additional charges of $1.2 million were recorded under this business exit during third quarter fiscal 2017 associated mainly with contract accounts receivable charges.  

During the second fiscal quarter of 2015, the Company began implementing a series of initiatives intended to improve operational efficiency, reduce costs, and better position itself to drive growth of the business in the future.  We refer to these initiatives, in the aggregate, as the “2015 Restructuring”.  These activities evolved and developed over time as management identified and evaluated opportunities formaterial changes in the Company’s (i) financial condition from the most recent fiscal year-end to June 30, 2023 and (ii) results of operations (and related areas of potential cost savings),during the current fiscal period(s) as economic conditions changed and ascompared to the realignmentcorresponding period(s) of the preceding fiscal year. In order to better understand such changes, readers of this MD&A should also read:

The discussion of the critical and significant accounting policies used by the Company in preparing its consolidated financial statements. The most current discussion of our critical accounting policies appears in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our 2022 Form 10-K, and the most current discussion of our significant accounting policies appears in Note 2- Significant Accounting Polices in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of our 2022 Form 10-K;

Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our 2022 Form 10-K.
In addition to historical information, this MD&A and other parts of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are statements that do not directly relate to any historical or current fact. When used herein, words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “plans,” “intends,” “future,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “can,” “may,” "target," "goal" and similar words are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our expectations as to our future growth, prospects, financial outlook and business strategy, including our expectations for the percentage of backlog we will realize as revenue in fiscal year 2023, the anticipated benefits of any acquisition or the strategic investment in PA Consulting, our plans to separate the Critical Missions Solutions ("CMS") business through a spin-off that is intended to be tax-free to stockholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the description of the CMS business following the separation, the timing of completion for the separation, and the perceived benefits for both Jacobs and CMS to be derived from the separation. Although such statements are based on management’s current estimates and expectations, and/or currently available competitive, financial, and economic data, forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain, and you should not place undue reliance on such statements as actual results may differ materially. We caution the reader that there are a variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from what is contained, projected or implied by our forward-looking statements. Such factors include uncertainties as to the 2015 Restructuring included involuntary terminations,final structure and timing of the abandonmentseparation of certain leased offices, combining operational organizations, and the colocationCMS business, including with respect to the scope of employees into other existing offices.  These activities did not involve the exit of any service types or client end-markets.  The 2015 Restructuring was completed in fiscal 2017 although related cash payments continuebusinesses to be made underseparated or retained by the related obligations recorded in connection with these activities.

Collectively, Company, the above mentioned restructuring activities are referred to as “Restructuring and other charges.”

The impact of such matters includes, but is not limited to, the possibility that we will not complete the spin-off or any separation transaction or that the transaction will occur on terms or conditions that are different or less favorable than expected; the possible reduction in demand for certain of our product solutions and services and the delay or abandonment of ongoing or anticipated projects due to the financial condition of our clients and suppliers or to governmental budget constraints or changes to governmental budgetary

priorities; the inability of our clients to meet their payment obligations in a timely manner or at all; potential issues and risks related to a significant portion of our employees working remotely; illness, travel restrictions and other workforce disruptions that have and could continue to negatively affect our supply chain and our ability to timely and satisfactorily complete our clients’ projects; difficulties associated with retaining and hiring additional employees; and the inability of governments in certain of the countries in which we operate to effectively mitigate the financial or other impacts of a pandemic on their economies and workforces and our operations therein. The foregoing factors and potential future developments are inherently uncertain, unpredictable and, in many cases, beyond our control. For a description of these and additional factors that may occur that could cause actual results to differ from our forward-looking statements, see those listed and discussed in Item 1A, Risk Factors included in our 2022 Form 10-K and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We undertake no obligation to release publicly any revisions or updates to any forward-looking statements. We encourage you to read carefully the risk factors, as well as the financial and business disclosures contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in other documents we file from time to time with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").
Business Overview
At Jacobs, we’re challenging today to reinvent tomorrow by solving the world’s most critical problems for thriving cities, resilient environments, mission-critical outcomes, operational advancement, scientific discovery and cutting-edge manufacturing, turning abstract ideas into realities that transform the world for good. Leveraging a talent force of more than 60,000, Jacobs provides a full spectrum of professional services including consulting, technical, engineering, scientific and project delivery for the government and private sectors.
Our previous three-year corporate strategy launched at our Investor Day in February 2019 focused on innovation and continued transformation to build upon our position as the leading solutions provider for our clients. Setting the wheels in motion for our current path, this transformation included acquiring a 65% stake in PA Consulting Group Limited ("PA Consulting") in fiscal year 2021. Acquisitions of John Wood Group’s nuclear business, The Buffalo Group and most recently BlackLynx and StreetLight further position us as a leader in high-value government services and technology-enabled solutions.
Our Boldly Moving Forward strategy announced in March of 2022 provides Jacobs with a robust focus into 2025 – continuing our aggressive shift to create a fully inclusive, technology-forward company – producing the critical solutions of tomorrow. We are united by our purpose and recognize that the keys to success in the future will be different from those of today. We need to remain agile and focus on where our clients need us most, address major challenges such as global constraints on labor, and fully leverage data and technology. By shaping our future, we will produce outsized results. Starting in March of 2021, we took a deep dive into global trends, capabilities, and markets to understand the largest opportunities, their projected spend and their growth rates. The conclusion of this strategic review reinforced that our decades of deep domain expertise and capabilities squarely align with the most attractive markets. This puts us in a unique position – and creates a great opportunity – to further strengthen our competitive advantage across our core sectors by accelerating the development and scaling of differentiated products and solutions. To provide focus and enable success, we have concentrated our strategy to zero in on three months ended December 29, 2017needle-moving accelerators that catalyze additional growth across all markets:

As a purpose-led company, we know we have a pivotal role to play in addressing the climate emergency in collaboration with our clients, our employees and our entire stakeholder base. We consider this not only good business, but our duty to channel our technology-enabled expertise and capabilities toward benefiting people and the 2015 Restructuringplanet.
Data Solutions
As our clients navigate the digital transformation and growing cyber risks, we have positioned ourselves at the forefront of this growth, adding digital capabilities, products and tools to serve a growing set of customers.
Consulting and Advisory
Together with our visionary partner, PA Consulting, we're establishing our position in high-end advisory services, creating a springboard to expand in high value offerings beyond the core.

On February 7, 2014, Jacobs and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a $1.6 billion long-term unsecured, revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) with a syndicate of large U.S. and international banks and financial institutions. The Revolving Credit Facility provides an accordion featurepredecessor parent company’s common stock that allows the Company and the lenders to increase the facility amount to $2.1 billion.

The total amount outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility in the form of direct borrowings at December 29, 2017 was $1,085.2  million. The Company has issued $2.5 million in letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility, leaving $512.3 million of available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility at December 29, 2017. In addition, the Company had issued $491.6 million under separate, committed and uncommitted letter-of-credit facilities for total issued letters of credit of $494.1 million at December 29, 2017.

The Revolving Credit Facility expires in February 2020 and permits the Company to borrow under two separate tranches in U.S. dollars, certain specified foreign currencies, and any other currency that may be approved in accordance with the terms of the  Revolving Credit Facility. Depending on the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the credit agreement governing the  Revolving Credit Facility), borrowings under the  Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at either a eurocurrency rate plus a margin of between 1.0% and 1.5% or a base rate plus a margin of between 0% and 0.5%. The Revolving Credit Facility also provides for a financial letter of credit sub facility of $300.0 million, permits performance letters of credit, and provides for a $50.0 million sub facility for swing line loans. Letters of credit are subject to fees based on the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio at the time any such letter of credit is issued. The Company pays a facility fee of between 0.100% and 0.250% per annum depending on the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio. Amounts outstanding under the  Revolving Credit Facility may be prepaid at the option of the Company without premium or penalty, subject to customary breakage fees in connection with the prepayment of euro currency loans. The  Revolving Credit Facility contains affirmative, negative, and financial covenants customary for financings of this type including, among other things, limitations on certain other indebtedness, loans and investments, liens, mergers, asset sales and transactions with affiliates.  In addition, the Revolving Credit Facility contains customary events of default. We were in compliance with our debt covenants at December 29, 2017.

On September 28, 2017, the Company entered into a Second Amendment to the Revolving Credit Facility, which provides for, among other things, an amendment to certain financial definitions used in the Revolving Credit Facility, including “Consolidated EBITDA”. These amendments were effective upon the consummation of the acquisition of CH2M in December 2017.

On September 28, 2017, the Company entered into a $1.5 billion unsecured delayed-draw term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) with a syndicate of financial institutions as lenders and letter of credit issuers and BNP Paribas as administrative agent, TD Bank, N.A. and U.S. Bank National Association as co-documentation agent, BNP Paribas Securities Corp., The Bank of Nova Scotia and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC as joint book runners, and as joint arrangers.

We incurred loans under the Term Loan Facility on December 15, 2017 in connection with the closing of the CH2M acquisition in order to pay cash consideration for the acquisition, and to pay fees and expenses related to the acquisition and the Term Loan Facility. The Term Loan Facility matures in December 2020  and permits the Company to borrow in U.S. dollars at a base rate or a eurocurrency rate. Depending on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio, borrowings under the Term Loan Facility bear interest at either a eurocurrency rate plus a margin of between 1.00% and 1.50% or a base rate plus a margin of between 0.00% and 0.50%. Amounts outstanding under the Term Loan Facility may be prepaid at the option of the Company without premium or penalty, subject to customary breakage fees in connection with the prepayment of eurocurrency loans.

The Term Loan Facility contains affirmative, negative and financial covenants customary for financings of this type, including, among other things, limitations on certain other indebtedness, investments, liens, mergers, asset sales and transactions with affiliates. In addition, the Term Loan Facility contains customary events of default. We were in compliance with these covenants at December 29, 2017.

We recognize revenue earned on our technical professional and field services projects under the percentage-of-completion method described in ASC 605-35, Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts. In general, we recognize revenues at the time we provide services. Pre-contract costsfall into the following two lines of business (LOB): Critical Mission Solutions (CMS) and People & Places Solutions (P&PS). Our LOBs, our business unit Divergent Solutions (DVS), which operates as an integrated offering to both LOBs, and a majority investment in PA Consulting (PA) constitute the Company’s reportable segments and are generally expensed as incurred. Contracts are generally segmented between types of services, such as project services and construction, and accordingly, gross margin related to each activity is recognized as those separate services are rendered. For multiple contracts with a single customer we accountthe foundation for each contract separately.

The percentage-of-completion method of accounting is applied by comparing contract costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion. On cost-reimbursable contracts, the cost of materials and subcontracts are generally excluded from the calculation of the measure of progress towards completion to providehow Jacobs helps create a more meaningful allocation of income. Contract losses are providedconnected, sustainable world. For additional information regarding our segments, including information about our financial results by segment and financial results by geography, see Note 4- Revenue Accounting for in their entirety in the period they become known, without regard to the percentage-of-completion.  

Unapproved change orders are included in the contract price to the extent it is probable that such change orders will result in additional contract revenue and the amount of such additional revenue can be reliably estimated. Claims meeting these recognition criteria are included in revenues only to the extent of the related costs incurred. The percentage of revenues realized by the Company by type of contract during fiscal 2017 can be found in Note 1 Description of Business and Basis of PresentationContracts of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2017 Form 10-K.

Critical Mission Solutions (CMS)
Jacobs' Critical Mission Solutions line of business provides a full spectrum of solutions for clients to address evolving challenges like information and cyber warfare, digital transformation and modernization, national security and defense, space exploration, digital asset management and the green energy transition. Our core capabilities include incentive-fee arrangements.  These incentive fees can be based on a varietyprogram management and mission operations; systems digital engineering and mission integration, research, development, test and evaluation; integration, operation, maintenance and sustainment of factors but the most common are the achievementsystems and facilities; enterprise-level IT operations and mission IT delivery, software development, and software application integration; engineering, design and construction of target completion dates, target costs, and/orspecialized technical facilities and systems; environmental remediation; specialized training; robotics and automation; and other performance criteria. Failure to meethighly technical consulting solutions. We deliver these targets can result in unrealized incentive fees. We recognize incentive fees based on expected results using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. As the contract progresses and more information becomes available, the estimate of the anticipated incentive fee that will be earned is revised as necessary. We bill incentive fees based on the terms and conditions of the individual contracts.  In certain situations, we are allowed to bill a portion of the incentive fees over the performance period of the contract.  In other situations, we are allowed to bill incentive fees only after the target criterion has been achieved. Incentive fees which have been recognized but not billed are included in receivables in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.  

Certain cost-reimbursable contracts withcapabilities for government customersagencies as well as certain commercial clients provide that contract costs are subject to audit and adjustment.  In this situation, revenues are recorded at the time services are performed based upon the amounts we expect to realize upon completion of the contracts.  Revenues are not recognized for non-recoverable costs.  In those situations where an audit indicates that we may have billed a client for costs not allowable under the terms of the contract, we estimate the amount of such non-billable costs and adjust our revenues accordingly.

When we are directly responsible for subcontractor labor or third-party materials and equipment, we reflect the costs of such items in both revenues and costs (and we refer to such costs as “pass-through” costs). On those projects where the client elects to pay for such items directly and we have no associated responsibility for such items, these amounts are not reflected in either revenues or costs.

The following table sets forth pass-through costs included in revenues for each of the three months ended December 29, 2017 and  December 30, 2016 (in thousands):

As is common to the industry, we execute certain contracts jointly with third parties through various forms of joint ventures and consortiums. Although the joint ventures own and hold the contracts with the clients, the services required by the contracts are typically performed by us and our joint venture partners, or by other subcontractors under subcontracting agreements with the joint ventures. The assets of our joint ventures, therefore, consist almost entirely of cash and receivables (representing amounts due from clients), and the liabilities of our joint ventures consist almost entirely of amounts due to the joint venture partners (for services provided by the partners to the joint ventures under their individual subcontracts) and other subcontractors. In general, at any given time, the equity of our joint ventures represents the undistributed profits earned on contracts the joint ventures hold with clients. Very few of our joint ventures have employees. None of our joint ventures have third-party debt or credit facilities. Under U.S. GAAP, our  share of profits and losses associated with the contracts held by the joint ventures is reflected in our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Page 18


JACOBS ENGINEERING GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Certain of our joint ventures meet the definition of a variable interest entity (“VIE”). In evaluating our VIEs for possible consolidation, we perform a qualitative analysis to determine whether or not we have a “controlling financial interest” in the VIE as defined by U.S. GAAP. We consolidate only those VIEs over which we have a controlling financial interest and are the primary beneficiary.

For the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures, we use either the equity method of accounting or proportionate consolidation. There were no changes in facts and circumstances during the period that caused the Company to reassess the method of accounting for its VIEs.

13. Defined Pension Benefit Obligations

Jacobs UK Limited (“JUK”) is the sponsor of certain pension plans in the UK (“UK Plans”).  The UK Plans currently have an estimated funding deficit of approximately $201.3 million. Given the current estimated funding deficit, the Company replaced JUK’s current recovery plan with an intercompany asset backed pension contribution arrangement.

The contribution arrangement establishes funding for the UK pension plans via a 15-year long term note issued by Jacobs through a non-US affiliate to the UK pension plans. The Note is USD denominated with a stated principal of approximately $131.6 million.  Payments of principal and interest on the note are approximately $12.5 million per year.

In connection with the acquisition of CH2M on December 15, 2017, the Company has preliminarily recorded estimates of CH2M’s pension plan assets and liabilities which are reflected in the amounts of $1.1 billion and ($1.2 billion), respectively as of December 29, 2017.  CH2M sponsors several defined benefit pension plans primarily in the U.S. and international markets.

Income Taxes

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) was enacted in the United States. The Act reduces the top corporate U.S. federal statutory tax rate from 35% to 21%  starting on January 1, 2018, resulting in a blended statutory tax rate for fiscal year filers.  The Company’s blended federal statutory tax rate for fiscal 2018 is 24.6%.  It also requires companies to pay a one-time transition tax onnet earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries, places limitations and exclusions on varied tax deductions and creates new taxes on certain foreign sourced earnings.  The majority of the tax provisions, excluding the change in corporate tax rates, are effective for the first tax year beginning after January 1, 2018.  For Jacobs that will be the Company’s taxable year beginning October 1, 2018.  

Given the significance of the legislation, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (SAB 118), which allows registrants to record provisional amounts during a one year “measurement period” similar to that used when accounting for business combinations.  However, the measurement period is deemed to have ended earlier when the registrant has obtained, prepared and analyzed the information necessary to finalize its accounting.  During the measurement period, impacts of the law are expected to be recorded at the time a reasonable estimate for all or a portion of the effects can be made, and provisional amounts can be recognized and adjusted as information becomes available, prepared or analyzed.

SAB 118 summarizes a three-step process to be applied at each reporting period to account for and qualitatively disclose: (1) the effects of the change in tax law for which accounting is complete; (2) provisional amounts$196.3 million (or adjustments to provisional amounts) for the effects of the tax law where accounting is not complete, but that a reasonable estimate has been determined; and (3) a reasonable estimate cannot yet be made and therefore taxes are reflected in accordance with law prior to the enactment of the Act.

As of the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2018, December 29, 2017, we had not completed our accounting for the tax effects of the enactment of the Act.  However, we have made a provisional estimate of the effects of the statutory tax rate reduction impact on our existing deferred tax balances and the one-time transition tax. We are not yet able to make a reasonable estimate on the other aspects of the Act and continue to account for those items based on our existing accounting under ASC 740, Income Taxes, and the provisions of the tax laws that were in effect immediately prior to enactment of the Act.

Page 20


JACOBS ENGINEERING GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

For the deferred tax balances, we remeasured the U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the rates at which they are expected to reverse in the future, which is generally 21%.  The Company’s provisional remeasurement resulted in a $24 million net favorable discrete benefit to income tax expense for the period.  In addition, the Company has reached a preliminary conclusion that it should record a valuation allowance with respect to certain foreign tax credit deferred tax assets in the current quarter as a result of the Tax Act.  The estimated amount of the valuation allowance is $53 million and is treated as a discrete charge for the period.  We are still analyzing many aspects of the Act and refining our calculations, which could potentially affect the measurement of these balances or potentially give rise to new deferred tax assets and liabilities.

The Act calls for a one-time tax on deemed repatriation of foreign earnings. This one-time transition tax is based on our total post-1986 earnings and profits (E&P) of certain of our foreign subsidiaries. We have made a provisional estimate of the transition tax.  Based upon our review of the Company’s historical foreign tax credit position and post-1986 E&P, it is estimated at this time that the Company should not have any liability for the transition tax.  However, we are still in the process of completing our calculation of the total post-1986 E&P for the newly acquired foreign subsidiaries related to the recent CH2M acquisition.  Our estimate may change when we finalize the calculation of post-1986 foreign E&P previously deferred from U.S. federal taxation and finalize the amounts held in cash or other specified assets.  

The Company’s consolidated effective income tax rate for the three months ended December 29, 2017 was 93.9%, an increase from 28.8%$1.52 per diluted share) for the corresponding period last year. The increaseHigher year over year underlying operating performance in the quarterly effective tax ratethird fiscal quarter of 2023 was impacted by $25.0 million higher pre-tax Restructuring and other charges and transaction costs compared to the same fiscal quarter of 2022, with this increase due primarily to PA Consulting restructuring program charges (primarily employee separation costs) and CMS separation expenses (mainly professional services), which is duediscussed in Note 16- Restructuring and Other Charges. Third quarter fiscal 2023 other expense, net, was $43.1 million, an increase of $49.4 million versus third quarter fiscal 2022 income of $6.4 million, with the current period primarily impacted by unfavorable higher net interest expense, unfavorable currency exchange gains and losses and higher pension costs compared to $29the prior year quarter, as discussed further below, with fiscal 2022 benefiting from a $13.9 million inpre-tax gain related to a cost method investment sold during the period. Further, our reported net discrete charges duringearnings for the current year quarter comprisedwere favorably impacted by lower income taxes of a $24$5.3 million benefit fromcompared to the provisional remeasurement of the deferred tax items in the U.S.,fiscal 2022 period, attributable to lower earnings before taxes offset by a higher effective tax rate in the current quarter. Finally, net earnings attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests were $7.2 million lower for the quarter-to-date period due to lower net after-tax earnings results in our PA Consulting investment compared to the prior year.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2023, net earnings attributable to the Company from continuing operations were $516.9 million (or $4.06 per diluted share), an increase of $97.5 million, from net earnings of $419.4 million (or $3.23 per diluted share) for the corresponding valuation allowance chargeperiod last year. Operating profit levels were up more significantly for the respective year-to-date periods of $53fiscal 2023 (mainly in P&PS), and were also impacted by the Restructuring and other charges and transactions costs activities mentioned above relating to real estate transformation, the fiscal 2023 PA Consulting and CMS separation related items and the final fiscal 2022 $91.3 million settlement of a legacy litigation matter involving a subsidiary of CH2M (the "Legacy CH2M Matter"), net of previously recorded reserves, which is further discussed in Note 17- Commitments and Contingencies and Derivative Financial Instruments. Additionally, the 2023 year-to-date period was impacted by approximately $15.0 million in net favorable impacts from cost reductions associated mainly with first quarter 2023 changes in employee benefit programs, which were partly offset by higher spend in company technology platforms and other personnel and corporate cost increases. Also, year-to-date fiscal 2023 other expense, net, of $120.9 million was higher by $108.1 million versus the same period in fiscal 2022 amounts of $12.8 million, with the current period impacted by the same unfavorable higher net interest expense, unfavorable currency exchange gains and losses and higher pension costs, with fiscal 2022 benefiting from the cost method investment sold mentioned above. Finally, net earnings attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests were $14.0 million lower for the year-to-date period due to lower net after-tax earnings results in our PA Consulting investment compared to the prior year.
On May 9, 2023, the Company announced its intention to separate its CMS business into an independent publicly traded company. For further discussion, see Note 1- Basis of Presentation.
On February 4, 2022, the Company acquired StreetLight Data, Inc., ("StreetLight"). For further discussion, see Note 15- Other Business Combinations.
Consolidated Results of Operations
Revenues for the third fiscal quarter of 2023 were $4.19 billion, an increase of $359.6 million, or 9.4%, from $3.83 billion for the corresponding period last year. For the nine months ended June 30, 2023, revenues were $12.06 billion, an increase of $1.02 billion, or 9.3%, from $11.04 billion for the corresponding period last year. Revenue increases for the year over year periods were due mainly to the Company's P&PS and CMS legacy businesses and in addition, to a smaller degree, other increases in our DVS and PA Consulting businesses. The P&PS business benefited primarily from stronger performance in its Advanced Facilities and U.S. business operations. Our CMS business benefited from increased spending in our U.S. government business sector, which was primarily attributable to fiscal 2022 contract awards for the U.S. Department of Energy. Also, revenue was unfavorably impacted by foreign currency translation of $12.4 million and $279.0 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, across our international businesses, as compared to an unfavorable $130.1 million and $176.8 million for the three and nine months ended July 1, 2022, respectively. Pass-through revenues for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023 amounted to $804.1 million and $2.23 billion, an increase of $124.3 million and $433.5 million, or 18.3% and 24.1%, respectively, from $679.7 million and $1.80 billion from the corresponding periods last year. Pass-through revenues for the prior periods presented include certain minor adjustments to properly reflect amounts that had not been previously included and conform with the fiscal 2023 amounts presented.

Page 39


Gross profit for the third fiscal quarter of 2023 was $856.7 million, an increase of $32.3 million, or 3.9%, from $824.5 million from the corresponding period last year and reflecting related gross profit margins of 20.5% and 21.5% for the respective periods. Gross profit for the nine months ended June 30, 2023 was $2.56 billion, an increase of $70.4 million, or 2.8%, from $2.49 billion from the corresponding period last year with respective gross profit margins of 21.2% and 22.6%. Project mix impacts in our legacy CMS and P&PS portfolios and lower utilization trends primarily in the PA Consulting business impacted our current year margins, partly offset by new program startups won in fiscal 2022. Additionally, for the year-to-date period, gross profit was affected by net favorable impacts from cost reductions associated mainly with first quarter 2023 changes in employee benefit programs, which were partly offset by higher spend in company technology platforms and other personnel and corporate cost increases, as mentioned above, and unfavorable foreign currency translation impacts.
See Segment Financial Information discussion for further information on the Company’s results of operations at the operating segment.
SG&A expenses for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023 were $587.0 million and $1.76 billion, respectively, compared $558.7 million and $1.88 billion for the corresponding periods last year and representing an increase of $28.3 million or 5.1% and a decrease of $117.7 million or (6.3)%, respectively. Restructuring and other charges for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023 included approximately $30.0 million in costs associated with the Company's restructuring initiatives relating to its investment in PA Consulting (primarily employee separation costs) and separation activities (mainly professional services) relating to the CMS separation transaction and June 30, 2023 and July 1, 2022 included $38.1 million and $74.6 million, respectively, in costs associated with the Company's transformation initiatives relating to real estate. Also, the year-to-date fiscal 2022 period was impacted by the final pre-tax $91.3 million settlement of the Legacy CH2M Matter, net of previously recorded reserves, mentioned above. The current year's three and nine months ended results were also impacted by higher investments in company technology platforms, offset in part by decreases in real estate related costs, as well as other department spend decreases due in part to the Company's transformation initiatives. Lastly, SG&A expenses benefited from favorable foreign exchange impacts of $2.9 million and $53.4 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to favorable impacts of $26.4 million and $36.8 million for the corresponding periods last year.
Net interest expense for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023 was $36.0 million and $106.0 million, respectively, an increase of $10.9 million and $41.4 million from $25.1 million and $64.6 million, or 43.3% and 64.0%, for the corresponding periods last year. The increase in net interest expense for the three and nine month periods was due primarily to higher interest rates in the current year compared to the prior year periods. These increases were offset in part by $6.3 million net interest benefit during the nine-month period related to the release of interest accruals associated with the effective settlement of uncertain tax positions.
Miscellaneous (expense) income, net for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023 was $(7.1) million and $(14.9) million, respectively, in comparison to $31.4 million and $51.8 million for the corresponding periods last year. The unfavorable $38.5 million and $66.7 million impacts compared to the prior three and nine month comparable periods were due primarily to an increase in pension costs associated with higher interest rate impacts in the current year along with comparatively unfavorable foreign exchange gains and losses in the current year periods. Also, the three and nine-month periods of fiscal 2022 included a $13.9 million pre-tax gain related to a cost method investment sold during the period and the nine-month period included a $7.1 million gain related to a lease termination.
The Company’s effective tax rates from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and July 1, 2022 were 23.9% and 21.9%, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the primary differences between the statutory U.S. federal corporate tax rate of 21% and the Company’s effective tax rate were associated with U.S. state income tax expense of $5.3 million and U.S. tax on foreign earnings of $5.4 million, partly offset by a $3.5 million tax benefit for the release of previously valued foreign tax credits. For the three months ended July 1, 2022 the main differences were attributable to U.S. state income tax expense of $8.4 million and U.S tax on foreign earnings of $5.3 million, partly offset by a $9.1 million tax benefit related to the reversal of a withholding tax accrual on certain intercompany loans.

Page 40


The Company's effective tax rates from continuing operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2023 and July 1, 2022 were 18.2% and 20.4%, respectively. The primary differences between the statutory U.S. federal corporate tax rate of 21.0% and the Company’s effective tax rate for the nine months ended June 30, 2023 were related to net tax benefits of $39.4 million mostly related to uncertain tax positions in the U.S. that were effectively settled, of which $30.8 million related to positions carried forward from the fiscal 2018 acquisition of CH2M Hill Companies Ltd., as well as a tax benefit of $12.1 million for the release of previously valued foreign tax credits. These benefits were partly offset by U.S. state income tax expense of $15.8 million and U.S. tax on foreign earnings of $13.6 million.

For the nine months ended July 1, 2022, the main differences were associated with tax benefits of $15.4 million for the release of previously valued foreign tax credits, $9.1 million related to the reversal of a withholding tax accrual on certain intercompany loans, and $4.9 million from filing amended state tax returns. These benefits were partly offset by U.S. state income tax expense of $17.4 million and U.S. tax on foreign earnings of $9.3 million.


The amount of income taxes the Company pays is subject to ongoing audits by tax jurisdictions around the world. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by tax authorities throughout the world, including such major jurisdictions as Australia, Canada, India, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the United States. Our estimate of the potential outcome of any uncertain tax issue is subject to our assessment of the relevant risks, facts, and circumstances existing at the time. The Company believes that it has adequately provided for reasonably foreseeable outcomes related to these matters. However, future results may include favorable or unfavorable adjustments to our estimated tax liabilitiesliabilities in the period the assessments are made or resolved, which may impact our effective tax rate.

It is reasonably possible that, during the next 12 months, we may realize a decrease in our uncertain tax positions of approximately $7 million as a result of concluding various tax audits and closing tax years.

On December 15, 2017 the Company completed the acquisition of CH2M.  For income tax purposes, the transaction was accounted for as a stock purchase.  As a result of the acquisition, the Company adjusted its U.S. GAAP opening balance sheet of CH2M to reflect preliminary estimates of the fair value of the net assets acquired.  For income tax purposes, the tax attributes and basis of net assets acquired carryover without any step-up to fair value.  The Company has made preliminary estimates and recorded deferred taxes associated with the purchase accounting.  It is expected that the Company will make adjustments to the purchase accounting over the relevant measurement period as allowed by ASC 805.

Earnings Per Share and Certain Related Information

Basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) are computed using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation method that determines EPS for common shares and participating securities. The undistributed earnings are allocated between common shares and participating securities as if all earnings had been distributed during the period. Participating securities and common shares have equal rights to undistributed earnings.  Net earnings used for the purpose of determining basic and diluted EPS is determined by taking net earnings, less earnings available to participating securities.

Share repurchases may be executed through various means including, without limitation, open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to purchase any shares and expires on July 22, 2018. The authorization for the share repurchase program may be terminated, increased or decreased by the Company’s Board of Directors in its discretion at any time. The timing of share repurchases may depend upon market conditions, other uses of capital, and other factors.

Dividend Program

On December 1, 2016, the Company announced that the Board of Directors approved the initiation of a cash dividend program.  A quarterly dividend of $0.15 per share was paid on November 10, 2017 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on  September 27, 2017.  There were no dividends paid in the corresponding period of fiscal 2017.

On January 18, 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.15 per share of the Company’s common stock that will be paid on March 16, 2018, to shareholders of record on the close of business on February 16, 2018.  Future dividend payments are subject to review and approval by the Company’s Board of Directors.

Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, we are subject to certain contractual guarantees and litigation. The guarantees to which we are a party generally relate to project schedules and plant performance. Most of the litigation in which we are involved has us as a defendant in workers’ compensation, personal injury, environmental, employment/labor, professional liability, and other similar lawsuits.

We maintain insurance coverage for various aspects of our business and operations. Our insurance programs have varying coverage limits and maximums, and insurance companies may seek to not pay any claims we might make. We have also elected to retain a portion of losses that occur through the use of various deductibles, limits, and retentions under our insurance programs. As a result, we may be subject to future liability for which we are only partially insured or completely uninsured. We intend to mitigate any such future liability by continuing to exercise prudent business judgment in negotiating the terms and conditions of our contracts. Our insurers are also subject to business risk and, as a result, one or more of them may be unable to fulfill their insurance obligations due to insolvency or otherwise.

Additionally, as a contractor providing services to the U.S. federal government and several of its agencies, we are subject to many levels of audits, investigations, and claims by, or on behalf of, the U.S. federal government with respect to our contract performance, pricing, costs, cost allocations, and procurement practices. Furthermore, our income, franchise, and similar tax returns and filings are also subject to audit and investigation by the Internal Revenue Service, most states within the U.S., as well as by various government agencies representing jurisdictions outside the U.S.

We record in our Consolidated Balance Sheets amounts representing our estimated liability relating to such claims, guarantees, litigation, and audits and investigations. We perform an analysis to determine the level of reserves to establish for insurance-related claims that are known and have been asserted against us, and for insurance-related claims that are believed to have been incurred based on actuarial analysis, but have not yet been reported to our claims administrators as of the respective balance sheet dates. We include any adjustments to such insurance reserves in our consolidated results of operations.

The Company believes, after consultation with counsel, that such guarantees, litigation, U.S. government contract-related audits, investigations and claims, and income tax audits and investigations should not have any material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.

On September 30, 2015, Nui Phao Mining Company Limited (“NPMC”) commenced arbitration proceedings against Jacobs E&C Australia Pty Limited (“Jacobs E&C”). The arbitration is pending in Singapore before the Singapore International Arbitration Centre. In March 2011, Jacobs E&C was engaged by NPMC for the provision of management, design, engineering, and procurement services for the Nui Phao mine/mineral processing project in Vietnam. In the Notice of Arbitration and in a subsequently filed Statement of Claim and Supplementary Statement of Claim dated February 1, 2016 and February 26, 2016, respectively, NPMC asserts various causes of action and alleges that the quantum of its claim exceeds $167 million. Jacobs has denied liability and is vigorously defending this claim. A three week hearing on the merits concluded on December 15, 2017 and a decision is expected later this year.  The Company does not expect the resolution of this matter to have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations and/or cash flows.

On December 7, 2009, the Judicial Council of California, Administrative Office of the Courts (“AOC”) initiated an action in the San Francisco County Superior Court against Jacobs Facilities Inc. (“JFI”) and Jacobs Project Management (“JPM”) and subsequently added Jacobs as a defendant.  The action arises out of a contract between AOC and JFI pursuant to which JFI provided regular maintenance and repairs at certain AOC court facilities. AOC has alleged, among other things, that the Jacobs entities are required

Page 23


JACOBS ENGINEERING GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

under California’s Contractors’ State License Law (“CSLL”) to disgorge certain fees paid by AOC, and the Jacobs entities have, among other things, cross-claimed for unpaid sums for work performed.  On May 2, 2012, the jury returned a special verdict in favor of the Jacobs entities finding, among other things, JPM was owed approximately $4.7 million in unpaid fees and that JFI was not required to disgorge the approximate $18.3 million that AOC had paid for work performed.  On August 20, 2015, the California Court of Appeal reversed the jury’s verdict, holding that JFI had violated the CSLL.  The Court of Appeal remanded to the San Francisco County Superior Court for an evidentiary hearing to determine whether the JFI had “substantially complied” with the CSLL under California Business and Professions Code Section 7031(e).  Establishing “substantial compliance” would prevent $18.3 million in disgorgement against Jacobs and permit Jacobs to recover $4.7 million.  The evidentiary hearing on substantial compliance was conducted between July 18 and August 5, 2016.  On December 29, 2016, the court issued a Statement of Decision in favor of the Company, finding that Jacobs Facilities had substantially complied with the CSLL, and entered a judgment in favor of JPM in the amount of $4.7 million plus prejudgment interest.  On January 30, 2017, AOC filed a notice of appeal.  The Company does not expect the resolution of this matter to have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations and/or cash flows.

In 2012, CH2M HILL Australia Pty Limited, a subsidiary of CH2M, entered into a 50/50 integrated joint venture with  Australian construction contractor UGL Infrastructure Pty Limited. The JV entered into a Consortium Agreement with General Electric and GE Electrical International Inc.  The Consortium was awarded a subcontract by JKC Australia LNG Pty Limited for the engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning of a 360 MW Combined Cycle Power Plant for INPEX Operations Australia Pty Limited at Blaydin Point, Darwin, NT, Australia.  In January 2017, the Consortium terminated the Subcontract because of JKC’s repudiatory breach and demobilized from the work site.  JKC claimed the Consortium abandoned the work and itself purported to terminate the Subcontract.  The Consortium and JKC are now in dispute over the termination. In August 2017, the Consortium filed an International Chamber of Commerce arbitration against JKC for $665.5 million for repudiatory breach or, in the alternative, seeking damages for unresolved contract claims and change orders. JKC has provided a preliminary estimate of the monetary value of its claims in the amount of approximately $1.66 billion.  If the Consortium is found liable, this matter could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and /or cash flows, particularly in the short term.  However, the Consortium has denied liability and is vigorously defending these claims, and based on the information currently available, the Company does not expect the resolution of this matter to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

General

The purpose of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is to provide a narrative analysis explaining the reasons for material changes in the Company’s (i) financial condition from the most recent fiscal year-end to December 29, 2017, and (ii) results of operations during the current fiscal period(s) as compared to the corresponding period(s) of the preceding fiscal year. In order to better understand such changes, readers of this MD&A should also read:

The discussion of the critical and significant accounting policies used by the Company in preparing its consolidated financial statements. The most current discussion of our critical accounting policies appears in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our 2017 Form 10-K, and the most current discussion of our significant accounting policies appears in Note 2, Significant Accounting Polices in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of our 2017 Form 10-K;

The Company’s fiscal 2017 audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2017 Form 10-K; and


Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our 2017 Form 10-K.

In addition to historical information, this MD&A and other parts of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are statements that do not directly relate to any historical or current fact. When used herein, words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “plans,” “intends,” “future,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “can,” “may,” and similar words are intended to identify forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Although such statements are based on management’s current estimates and expectations, and/or currently available competitive, financial, and economic data, forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from what may be inferred from the forward-looking statements. Some of the factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those listed and discussed in Item 1A, Risk Factors included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and our 2017 Form 10-K. We undertake no obligation to release publicly any revisions or updates to any forward-looking statements. We encourage you to read carefully the risk factors described in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and our 2017 Form 10-K and in other documents we file from time to time with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

Lines of Business

The Company’s operations are organized around four global lines of business (“LOBs”), which also serve as the Company’s operating segments:  Aerospace & Technology, Buildings & Infrastructure, Industrial and Petroleum & Chemicals.  The Company’s LOB leadership and internal reporting structures report to the Chief Executive Officer, who is also the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), and enable the CODM to evaluate the performance of each of these segments and make appropriate resource allocations among each of the segments.  For purposes of the Company’s goodwill impairment testing, it has been determined that the Company’s operating segments are also its reporting units based on management’s conclusion that the components comprising each of its operating segments share similar economic characteristics and meet the aggregation criteria in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other.

Under the current organization, each LOB has a president that reports directly to the CODM. In addition, the sales function is managed on an LOB basis, and accordingly, the associated cost is embedded in the new segments and reported to the respective LOB presidents.  In addition, a portion of the costs of other support functions (e.g., finance, legal, human resources, and information technology) is allocated to each LOB using methodologies which, we believe, effectively attribute the cost of these support functions to the revenue generating activities of the Company on a rational basis.  The cost of the Company’s cash incentive plan, the Management Incentive Plan (“MIP”) and the expense associated with the Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. 1999 Stock Incentive Plan (“1999 SIP”) have likewise been charged to the LOBs except for those amounts determined to relate to the business as a whole (which amounts remain in corporate’s results of operations).

Aerospace and Technology (A&T) – We provide an in-depth range of scientific, engineering, construction, nuclear and technical support services to the aerospace, defense, technical and automotive industries in several countries.

CH2M Acquisition

On December 15, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of CH2M.  For purposes of the Company’s first quarter fiscal 2018 segment reporting, the operating financial information of CH2M has been categorized within the Company’s existing LOB business structure, with its sales and operating profit results for the time period during which CH2M has been under the ownership of the Company (December 15, 2017-December 29, 2017) being allocated to the Company’s A&T, B&I and P&C lines of business under a transitional business organization structure.  As part of the integration of the CH2M businesses into the Company’s business operating structures, the Company expects to realign its business financial reporting framework into three global business lines by no later than the second half of fiscal 2018 under the following new lines of business:

• Aerospace, Technology, Environmental and Nuclear (ATEN): serving global aerospace, automotive, defense, telecommunications, nuclear and environmental clients and the U.S. intelligence community.

• Buildings, Infrastructure and Advanced Facilities (BIAF): serving broad sectors including buildings, water, transportation (roads, rail, aviation and ports), and advanced facilities for life sciences, semiconductors, data centers, consumer products and other advanced manufacturing operations.

• Energy, Chemicals and Resources (ECR): serving energy, chemicals and resources sectors, including upstream, midstream and downstream oil, gas, refining, chemicals and mining and minerals industries.

Restructuring and Other Charges


During the fourth fiscal quarter of 2017,2023, the Company implemented certain restructuring activities (primarily severance related activities)and integration initiatives relating to the formation of the reporting and operating segment, Divergent Solutions, which were substantially completed this year. The Company incurred approximately $8.0million in pre-tax cash charges in connection with these initiatives during the nine month period ended June 30, 2023, with no significant costs incurred in the current fiscal quarter. These actions are expected to result in estimated gross annualized pre-tax cash savings of approximately $20 million to $24 million.

During fiscal 2022 and continuing into fiscal 2023, the Company implemented further real estate rescaling efforts that were associated with its fiscal 2020 transformation program relating to real estate. These activities are expected to be substantially completed before the Company’s announced definitive agreementend of fiscal 2023. In connection with these efforts, the Company has incurred $39.1 million and $69.9 million for the nine month periods ended June 30, 2023 and July 1, 2022, respectively, with minimal impacts to acquire CH2M.  Following the closingthree month periods ended June 30, 2023 and July 1, 2022 in pre-tax mainly non-cash charges. The total amount incurred in costs to date for this program were $111.5 million and the Company expects to incur additional costs of approximately $6.1 million during fiscal 2023. These actions resulted in non-cash savings related to the CH2M acquisition,future amortization of lease right-of-use assets over the remaining lease terms. Additionally, the objective of these activities have continued intoinitiatives was to create a modern, flexible work platform tailored to employees’ needs due to globalization and digital advances and to create total emissions savings that will be realized as we continue to optimize our real estate footprint.

During third quarter fiscal 2023, the first fiscal quarterCompany approved a plan to improve business processes and cost structure of 2018our PA Consulting investment by reorganizing senior management and include associated charges for professional services, personnel costs, severance and costs associatedreducing headcount. In connection with co-locating Jacobs and CH2M offices and have amounted tothese initiatives, the Company incurred approximately $19.3 $17million in pre-tax charges during first quarterthe three and nine month periods ended December 29, 2017.  These activitiesJune 30, 2023, which are expected to continue through 2019.be settled in cash by the end of the fiscal year. These activities, are not expected to involve the exit of any service types or client end-markets.  The Company is targeting to achieve annual cost savings of $150 million upon the completion of these activities.

        During the second fiscal quarter of 2017, the Company entered into strategic business restructuring activities associated with realignment of its Europe, U.K. and Middle East regional operations in our B&I segment.  Pre-tax net charges of $22.6 million were recorded associated mainly with net realizable value write-offs on contract accounts receivable of $16.5 million, with additional charges recorded for statutory redundancy and severance costs of $1.4 million and other liabilities of $4.7 million which are both expected to be paid or settled within the next 12 months.  Additional charges of $1.2 million were recorded under this business exit during third quarter fiscal 2017 associated mainly with contract accounts receivable charges.  

During the second fiscal quarter of 2015, the Company began implementing a series of initiatives intended to improve operational efficiency, reduce costs, and better position itself to drive growth of the business in the future.  We refer to these initiatives, in the aggregate, as the “2015 Restructuring”.  These activities evolved and developed over time as management identified and evaluated opportunities for changes in the Company’s operations (and related areas of potential cost savings), as economic conditions changed and as the realignment of the Company’s operations into its four global LOBs was implemented.  Actions related to the 2015 Restructuring included involuntary terminations, the abandonment of certain leased offices, combining operational organizations, and the colocation of employees into other existing offices.  These activities did not involve the exit of any service types or client end-markets.  The 2015 Restructuring wassubstantially completed in fiscal 2017 although related cash payments continue under the related obligations recorded in connection with these activities.

Overview – Three Months EndedDecember 29, 2017

Net earnings for the first fiscal quarter of 2018 ended December 29, 2017 were $2.2 million (or $0.02 per diluted share), a decrease of $58.4 million from $60.5 million (or $0.50 per diluted share) for the corresponding period last year.  Included in the Company’s operating results for the 2018 quarterly period were $14.7 million (or $0.11 per share) in after tax Restructuring and Other Charges, $51.4 million (or $0.41 per share) in transaction costs associated with the Company’s December 15, 2017 acquisition of CH2M HILL Companies, Ltd. (“CH2M”) and $28.8 million in income tax charges associated with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”).   Our first quarter fiscal 2017 results included $22.8 million (or $0.18 per share) after tax charges associated with the 2015 Restructuring.

On December 15, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of CH2M, an international provider of engineering, construction, and technical services, by acquiring 100% of the outstanding shares of CH2M common stock and preferred stock. The purpose of the acquisition was to further diversify the Company’s market presence in the water, nuclear and environmental remediation sectors and to further the Company’s growth strategy. The Company paid total consideration of approximately $1.8 billion in cash and issued approximately $1.4 billion of Jacobs’ common stock to the former stockholders and certain equity award holders of CH2M.

Consolidated Results of Operations

Revenues for the first fiscal quarter of 2018 were $2.75 billion, an increase of $198.7 million, or 7.8% from $2.55 billion for the corresponding period last year.  The increase in revenues was due primarily to favorable impacts from the CH2M acquisition, which contributed approximately $131 million in incremental revenue for the quarter.  Also, higher volumes in our legacy A&T and B&I businesses also contributed to the increase, partly offset by lower revenues in P&C and with Industrial revenues being flat for the comparative periods. Pass-through costs included in revenues for the first fiscal quarter of 2018 were $596.2 million, a decrease of $76.8 million, or 11.4%, from $673.0 million for the corresponding period last year.

Gross profit for first quarter 2018 was $487.2 million, up $67.9 million, or 16.2% from $419.3 million from the corresponding quarter in 2017.  Our gross profit margins were 17.7% and 16.4% for the three month periods ended December 29, 2017 and December 30, 2016, respectively.  The higher volume impacts seen in our A&T and B&I business, incremental benefits of the CH2M businesses acquired, and our continuing strategic focus on realigning our portfolio to higher margin businesses and project execution drove improving gross profit and margins for the year over year periods across our lines of business.

SG&A expenses for the three months ended December 29, 2017 were $439.5 million, an increase of $108.9 million, or 32.9%, from $330.7 million for the corresponding period last year.  The increase in SG&A expenses for the three month comparative periods was due mainly to CH2M transaction costs of $67.6 million, Restructuring and other associated costs of $19.3 million and higher year over year personnel costs during first quarter fiscal 2018, offset in part by $31.7 million in charges during first quarter fiscal 2017 from the 2015 Restructuring which concluded atbefore the end of fiscal 2017.  Also, incremental SG&A expense from the acquired CH2M businesses approximated $20 million during the three-month 2018 period.

Net interest expense for the three months ended December 29, 2017 was $3.3 million, an increase of $1.3 million from $2.0 million for the corresponding period last year.  The increase2023, are expected to result in net interest expense for the three months ended December 29, 2017 as compared to the corresponding period last year was due primarily to higher levels of average debt balances outstanding related to financing activities for the acquisition of CH2M, which was partially funded with term loan financing of $1.5 billion and increased revolving credit line borrowings of $850.2 million.

Miscellaneous expense, net for the three months ended December 29, 2017 was $2.5 million, up $1.8 million from $0.7 million for the corresponding period last year.  The increase was due primarily to unfavorable year over year impacts from unrealized gains and losses from foreign exchange.

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) was enacted in the United States.  The Act reduces the top corporate US federal statutory tax rate from 35% to 21% starting on January 1, 2018, resulting in a blended statutory tax rate for fiscal year filers.  The Company’s blended federal statutory tax rate for fiscal 2018 is 24.6%.  It also requires companies to pay a one-time transition tax on earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries, places limitations and exclusions on varied tax deductions and creates new taxes on certain foreign sourced earnings.  The majority of the tax provisions are effective for the first tax year beginning after January 1, 2018.  For Jacobs that will be the Company’s taxable year beginning October 1, 2018.

The Company’s consolidated effective income tax rate for the three months ended December 29, 2017 was 93.9%, an increase from 28.8% for the corresponding period last year.  The increase in the quarterly effective tax rate is due to $29 million in net discrete charges during the current year quarter resulting from the Act, comprised of a $24 million benefit from the provisional remeasurement of the deferred tax items in the U.S., offset by a corresponding valuation allowance charge of $53 million.

It is reasonably possible that, during the next 12 months, we may realize a decrease in our uncertain tax positionsestimated gross annualized pre-tax cash savings of approximately $7$40 million (being realized as a reduction in income tax expense) as a result of concluding various tax auditsto $50 million.

Additionally, the nine month period of fiscal 2023 included approximately $15.0 million in net favorable impacts from cost reductions compared to the prior year period, which was associated mainly with net favorable impacts during first quarter from changes in employee benefit programs of $41 million offset by approximately $26 million in higher spend in company technology platforms and other personnel and corporate cost increases.

During the fourth fiscal quarter of 2017, the Company implemented certain restructuring activities (primarily severance related activities) associated with the Company’s announced definitive agreement to acquire CH2M.  Following the closing of the CH2M acquisition, these activities have continued into the first fiscal quarter of 2018 and include associated charges for professional services, personnel costs, severance and costs associated with co-locating Jacobs and CH2M offices, amounting to approximately $19.3(2)The three and nine months ended June 30, 2023 included $17.2 million in restructuring and other charges relating to the Company's investment in PA Consulting (primarily employee separation costs) and $13.4 million relating to the separation activities (mainly professional services) around the CMS separation, and the nine months ended June 30, 2023 and July 1, 2022 included $38.1 million and $74.6 million, respectively in real estate impairment charges relating to the Company's transformation initiatives. Also included in the nine months ended July 1, 2022 is $91.3 million in pre-tax charges during first quarter ended December 29, 2017.  These activities are expected to continue through 2019.  These activities are not expected to involve the exit of any service types or client end-markets.

During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023, revenue benefited from new contracts in the nuclear remediation sector as well across multiple markets in the U.S. and United Kingdom. Also, impacts on revenues from unfavorable foreign currency translation were approximately $2.9 million and $61.5 million for the three and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2023, compared to $26.7 million and $34.6 million in unfavorable impacts in the corresponding prior year periods.
Operating profit for the segment was $99.1 million and $275.3 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023, which was an increase of $10.8 million, or 12.2%, from $88.3 million for the quarter-to-date period compared to the prior year and relatively flat compared to the year-to-date period last year. Operating profit level trends for the year over year quarterly periods were favorably impacted by growth in the nuclear remediation market, U.S. government space market and international defense market, and for the year to date period, were offset in part by large contract wind downs in early fiscal 2022 that carried higher profit margins. Impacts on operating profit from unfavorable foreign currency translation were approximately $0.2 million and $7.4 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to unfavorable foreign currency translation of approximately $3.9 million and $5.0 million for the three and nine months ended July 1, 2022, respectively.

In evaluating

On May 9, 2023, the Company’s performance by operating segment,Company announced its intention to separate its CMS business, resulting in two independent publicly traded companies. Jacobs is targeting to complete the CODM reviews revenues and operating profit. As discussed above, segment operating profit includes not only local SG&A expenses but the SG&A expenses of the Company’s support groupsseparation in fiscal 2024 through a distribution to Jacobs' stockholders that have been allocatedis intended to be tax-free to Jacobs’ shareholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes.There can be no assurances with respect to the segments. In addition, the Company attributes each LOB’s specific incentive compensation plan coststiming or form of a separation transaction and completion remains subject to the LOBs. The revenuesfinal approval by Jacobs’ Board of certain LOBs are more affected by pass-through revenues thanDirectors and other LOBs. The methods for recognizing revenue, incentive fees, project losses, and change orders are consistent among the LOBs.

On December 15, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of CH2M.  For purposes of the Company’s first quarter fiscal 2018 segment reporting, the operating financial information of CH2M has been categorized within the Company’s existing LOB structure, with its sales and operating profit results for the stub period from December 15, 2017 through  December 29, 2017  being allocated to the Company’s A&T, B&I and P&C lines of businesses under a transitional business organization structure.

The year-over-year increases in operating profit for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023 were driven primarily by the revenue growth mentioned above while holding selling, general and administrative expenses relatively flat. Foreign currency translation had a $3.4 million and $28.7 million unfavorable impact on operating profit in our international businesses for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2023, respectively as compared to unfavorable impacts of $11.9 million and $18.7 million in the corresponding prior year periods.

impacted by year over year revenue volume growth across our legacy portfolio, highlighted by increased spending by customers in the U.S. government business sector.  Year over year impacts on revenues from unfavorable foreign currency were not material.

Operating profit for the segment was $65.8 million for the three months ended December 29, 2017, up $14.7 million, or 28.8% from $51.1 million for the corresponding period last year. In addition to incremental operating profit benefits from the CH2M acquisition, the increase from the prior year was primarily attributable to improvements in our nuclear and defense unit in the U.K. and fee income with our AWE business.  Additionally, segment SG&A was up approximately $10 million for the three months ended December 29, 2017 of which approximately half of this increase was attributable to incremental SG&A coming with the CH2M business acquired.

Revenues for the Buildings & Infrastructure segment for the three months ended  December 29, 2017 were $658.5 million, up $77.8 million, or 13.4%, from $580.6 million for the corresponding period last year.  The year over year increase in revenues for the three months was in part due to favorable impacts from the CH2M acquisition of approximately $30 million in the period, together with revenue increases in Australian and U.K. client spending levels in the project-management/construction-management (“PMCM”) market. Impacts on revenues from favorable foreign currency were approximately $10 million for the three-month period of 2018 vs. the corresponding prior year period.

Operating profit for Buildings & Infrastructure for the three months ended December 29, 2018 was $45.3 million, an increase of $6.5 million, or 16.7%, from $38.8 million for the comparative period in 2017.  The year over year increases in operating profit for the three months was spread across all regions of Buildings & Infrastructure with the exception of the Middle East where we completed and closed a number of projects during the quarter.  Also, SG&A was up for the segment by approximately $20 million for the year over year periods, due mainly to incremental cost associated with the CH2M business of $13 million with the remainder due mainly to higher personnel costs.

Industrial revenues for the three months ended December 29, 2017 were $749.3 million, a slight decrease of $2.4 million versus $751.7 million from the corresponding period last year.  The slight decrease in revenues for the three-month comparative periods was due mainly to declines in the Field Services business offset in part by improved performance in our Life Sciences business group.  Additionally, foreign currency impacts were favorable in the current year three-month period of approximately $11 million compared to the corresponding period in the prior year.

Operating profit for the three months ended December 29, 2017 was $38.1 million, an increase of $13.0 million, or 51.7%, compared to $25.1 million for the corresponding period last year.  The increase in profitability for the comparative three-month period in the current year was due mainly to improved project performance in the Mining and Minerals business as well as improved profitability in Life Sciences based on higher revenues.  Declines in lower margin Field Services revenues were largely offset by improved project execution and favorable mix.  Also, SG&A for the segment was roughly flat between the periods.

Petroleum & Chemicals revenues for the three months ended December 29, 2017 were $620.9 million, a decrease of $20.9 million, or 3.2%, from $641.8 million for the corresponding period last year.  The decrease in revenues for the three  months ended December 29, 2017 as compared to the prior year was due primarily to the completion or wind-down of several projects with significant pass through revenue as well as award delays of large post front-end engineering and design projects, as clients continue to evaluate their capital spending plans. Both of these factors resulted in lower field service revenues compared with the prior year period, while client investment spending continues primarily on compliance, maintenance and sustaining capital programs. Additionally, foreign currency impacts were favorable by approximately $12 million for the three-month period of 2018 versus the corresponding period of 2017.

Operating profit for the three months ended December 29, 2017 was $27.6 million, an increase of $3.9 million or 16.5% from $23.6 million for the corresponding period last year, with the increase in profitability due to improving business mix.  SG&A was up approximately $7 million due mainly to incremental operating general and administrative expense coming with the CH2M acquisition with otherwise flat SG&A spend for the year over year periods due to the continued strong focus on cost control.

Revenues for the Divergent Solutions segment for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023 were $239.3 million and $695.0 million, respectively, an increase of $21.3 million and $44.9 million, or 9.8% and 6.9%, from $217.9 million and $650.1 million for the corresponding periods last year. The increases in revenue for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023 were due mainly to favorable year over year software licensing revenue and the startup of new programs previously won in fiscal 2022. Also the year-to-date period benefited from incremental revenues from the StreetLight acquisition (owned for the full period in fiscal 2023). Foreign currency translation impacts on revenue were not significant for the periods presented.
Operating profit for the segment was $20.8 million and $57.6 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $8.7 million and $5.4 million, or 72.0% and 10.3%, from $12.1 million and $52.3 million for the corresponding periods last year. The increases in operating profit for the three and nine month periods were due mainly to favorable year over year software licensing, and for the year-to-date period, slightly offset by unfavorable impacts from overhead billing rate differences during the first quarter of 2023 versus the prior year first quarter mainly in our cyber intelligence business. Impacts on operating profit from foreign currency were not significant for the periods presented.

Revenues for the PA Consulting segment for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023 were $286.9 million and $869.9 million, respectively, an increase of $9.3 million and $5.0 million, or 3.3% and 0.6%, from $277.6 million and $864.9 million for the corresponding periods last year, primarily due to growth in PA Consulting's Defence & Security, Public Sector and Energy & Utilities businesses. Revenues for the three-months ended June 30, 2023 were immaterially impacted by foreign currency translation and for the nine-months ended June 30, 2023 were unfavorably impacted by $71.7 million for our international businesses, and for the corresponding prior year periods, were unfavorably impacted by $34.0 million and $38.1 million.

Operating profit for the segment for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023 was $60.9 million and $177.5 million, respectively, an increase of $9.4 million and a decrease of $5.3 million, or 18.3% and (2.9)%, from $51.4 million and $182.9 million, for the corresponding periods last year. The increase for the quarter to date period is mainly due to lower incentive costs and includes immaterial impacts from foreign currency in our international business, while the decrease for the year to date period is mainly due to unfavorable foreign currency translation impacts of $12.3 million, as compared to $6.7 million and $8.1 million in unfavorable impact in the corresponding prior year periods. Additionally, operating profit was impacted in the current year period by higher labor costs due to a competitive labor market and lower utilization.
Other Corporate Expenses

Other corporate expenses for the three and nine months ended December 29, 2017 was $42.1June 30, 2023 were $118.5 million and $319.8 million, an increase of $23.8$28.6 million and $35.3 million, or 31.8% and 12.4%, from $18.3$89.9 million and $284.5 million for the corresponding periodperiods last year. While first quarter fiscal 2018 G&A costs were up year over year, approximately half of the increase was driven by a partial lump sum pension settlement, discrete personnel cost accrual adjustments and increased legal fees.The increase in other corporate expenses for the three month comparative periodsperiod ended June 30, 2023 was due mainlyprimarily driven by continued higher investments in company technology platforms and higher incentive and other compensation charges.

The increase for the year-to-date period was attributable to these higher professional service fees,technology and personnel related costs and settlement charges associated within the Sverdrup U.S. pension plan amounting to $3.8 million, partiallythird quarter offset by savingsapproximately $15.0 million in net favorable impacts during first quarter 2023 from cost reductions associated mainly with the 2015 Restructuring program.

changes in employee benefit programs, partly offset by higher spend in company technology platforms and other personnel and corporate cost increases.

Included in other corporate expenses in the above table are costs and expenses which relate to general corporate activities as well as corporate-managed benefit and insurance programs. Such costs and expenses include: (i) those elements of SG&A expenses relating to the business as a whole; (ii) those elements of our incentive compensation plans relating to corporate personnel whose other compensation costs are not allocated to the LOBs; (iii) the amortization of intangible assets acquired as part of purchased business combinations; (iv) the quarterly variances between the Company’s actual costs of certain of its self-insured integrated risk and employee benefit programs and amounts charged to the LOBs; and (v) certain adjustments relating to costs associated with the Company’s international defined benefit pension plans. In addition, other corporate expenses may also include from time to time certain adjustments to contract margins (both positive and negative) associated with projects, as well as other items, where it has been determined in the opinion of management, that such adjustments are not indicative of the performance of the related LOB.

Backlog Information

We include in backlog the total dollar amount of revenues

Backlog represents revenue we expect to record in the future as a resultrealize for work to be completed by our consolidated subsidiaries and our proportionate share of performing work under contracts that have been awarded to us. Our policy with respect to O&M contracts, however, is to include in backlog the amount of revenues we expect to receive for one succeeding year, regardless of the remaining life of the contract. For national government programs (other than national government O&M contracts), our policy is to include in backlog the full contract award, whether funded or unfunded, excluding option periods.be performed by unconsolidated joint ventures. Because of variations in the nature, size, expected duration, funding commitments, and the scope of services required by our contracts, the amount and timing of when backlog will be recognized as revenues includes significant estimates and can vary greatly between individual contracts.

Consistent with industry practice, substantially all of our contracts are subject to cancellation or termination at the option of the client.client, including our U.S. government work. While management uses all information available to it to determine backlog, at any given time our backlog is subject to changes in the scope of services to be provided as well as increases or decreases in costs relating to the contracts included therein. Backlog is not necessarily an indicator of future revenues.

Because certain contracts (e.g., contracts relating to large EPCEngineering, Procurement & Construction ("EPC") projects as well as national government programs) can cause large increases to backlog in the fiscal period in which we recognize the award, and because many of our contracts require us to provide services that span over a number ofseveral fiscal quarters (and sometimes over fiscal years), we evaluatehave presented our backlog on a year-over-year basis, rather than on a sequential, quarter-over-quarter basis.

Increases



The increase in backlog in Critical Mission Solutions from July 1, 2022 was primarily driven by new business awards in the U.S. government space sector along with growth in the U.K. defence, nuclear power, and nuclear remediation sectors that offset slower growth in the U.S. Defense market.
Backlog levels in People & Places Solutions and Divergent Solutions remained consistent year-over-year.
The increase in backlog in PA Consulting from July 1, 2022 was primarily driven by strategic focus on long-term projects as well as organic year over year growth of the business.
Consolidated backlog differs from the Company’s remaining performance obligations as defined by ASC 606 primarily because of contract change orders or new wins not yet processed and our national government contracts where our policy is to generally include in backlog the contract award, whether funded or unfunded excluding certain option periods while our remaining performance obligations represent a measure of the total dollar value of work to be performed on contracts awarded and in Aerospace & Technology from December 30, 2016 was primarilyprogress. Additionally, the resultCompany does not include our proportionate share of new awards from the U.S. federal government.

Increasesbacklog related to unconsolidated joint ventures in backlog in Building & Infrastructure from December 30, 2016 was primarily the result of new awards in Australia and the U.S. markets.

Increases in backlog in the Industrial line of business from December 30, 2016 was mainly from growth in field services across the U.S. and Canada markets.  Backlog activity during the three-month period ended December 30, 2016 included a large cancellation in the Life Sciences area.  

The decrease in backlog in Petroleum & Chemicals from December 30, 2016 was due mainly to work off of projects in the Americas with significant pass through costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 29, 2017,June 30, 2023, our principal sources of liquidity consisted of $1,059.8 million$1.09 billion in cash and cash equivalents $512 millionand $1.44 billion of available borrowing capacity under our $1.6$2.25 billion 2014 revolvingrevolving credit facilityagreement (the “Revolving"Revolving Credit Facility”Facility"),. We finance much of our operations and growth through cash flows from operating activities.

On December 15, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of CH2M HILL Companies, Ltd. (CH2M), an international provider of engineering, construction, and technical services,generated by acquiring 100% of the outstanding shares of CH2M common stock and preferred stock. The Company paid total consideration of approximately $1.8 billion in cash and issued approximately $1.4 billion of Jacobs’ common stock to the former stockholders and certain equity award holders of CH2M. In connection with the acquisition, the Company also assumed CH2M’s revolving credit facility and second lien notes, including a $20 million prepayment penalty, which totaled approximately $700 million.  Immediately following the effective time of the acquisition, the Company repaid CH2M’s revolving credit facility and second lien notes including the related prepayment penalty.   The Company financed the cash consideration for the CH2M acquisition, the repayment of CH2M’s outstanding indebtedness and other transaction expenses with a combination of cash on hand and debt financing, which included borrowings under the Term Loan Facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1.5 billion and additional borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.

At December 29, 2017, our cashoperations.

Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2023 were $1,059.8$1.09 billion, representing a decrease of $48.4 million an increase from $1.14 billion at September 30, 2022, the reasons for which are described below.
Our net cash flow provided by operations of $285.7$755.4 million from $774.2during the nine months ended June 30, 2023 was favorable by $558.2 million at September 29, 2017.

The most significant drivers contributingin comparison to the netcash flow provided by operations of $197.2 million for the corresponding prior year period. The year-over-year increase in cash and cash equivalents  from September 29, 2017  to December 29, 2017 were favorable cash flows from financing activities of $1.6 billion, offset by $1.4 billion used in investing cash flows, both of which activities were largely driven by the CH2M acquisition.  Cash flows from operations of $46.9 million also contributedis primarily attributable to the increase.  On a comparative basis,payment of the Legacy CH2M Matter cash settlement in the third fiscal quarter of 2022 and cash equivalents increased $80.8 million to $736.5 millionalso included other overall net favorable working capital performance during the three-month period ended December 30, 2016 from $655.7 million at September 30, 2016.  This increase was driven mainly from cash flow from operations of $110.4 million and cash flow from financing activities of $15.3 million, partially offset by cash flows from investing activities of $23.1 million and exchange rate effects on cash of $21.8 million.

2023 period.

Our cash flow from operations of $46.9 million during the three-month period ended December 29, 2017 was comparatively lower than the $110.4 million in cash flow from operations for the corresponding period in fiscal 2017, due mainly to lower net earnings in the current period which reflect the CH2M acquisition related expenses and restructuring and other costs, partly offset by reductions in non-current assets.  Included in our cash flows from operations were payments of approximately $34.2 million in restructuring and other costs and $27.6 million in CH2M transaction expenses.  For the three months ended December 30, 2016 we had payments of $44.2 million in restructuring and other costs.

Our cash used infor investing activities for the threenine months ended December 29, 2017June 30, 2023 was $106.4 million, compared to cash used for investing activities of $491.2 million in the corresponding prior year period, with this change due primarily to the BlackLynx and StreetLight acquisitions in the prior year.

Our net cash used for financing activities of $770.3 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2023 resulted mainly from $338.6 million in net repayments of borrowings, cash used for share repurchases of $265.6 million, $55.7 million in net PA Consulting related redeemable noncontrolling interests purchase and issuance activity and $95.7 million in dividends to shareholders. Cash provided by financing activities in the corresponding prior year period was $1.4 billion and$461.8 million, due primarily drivento net proceeds from borrowings of $799.2 million, offset by cash used for the CH2M acquisition, netshare repurchases of cash amounts acquired from the acquisition of $315 million.  Additions to property$250.7 million and equipment were roughly flat for the comparative periods.  

Our cash from financing activities of $1.6 billion for the three months ended December 29, 2017 resulted  mainly from proceeds from borrowings of $2.7 billion, most of which was used in connection with financing of the CH2M acquisition.  Repayments of long term debt of $1.1 billion during first quarter fiscal 2018 were up compared to $303 million in first quarter fiscal 2017, with this increase due mainly to payoff of CH2M’s legacy debt balances in connection with the closing of the acquisition.  Comparatively lower cash flows from proceeds from issuances of common stock during the current quarter were offset by lower cash outflows for common stock repurchases.  The Company paid $18.1$86.6 million in dividends during the three-month period ended December 29, 2017, with no dividends paid in the comparative prior year period.

to shareholders.

At December 29, 2017,June 30, 2023, the Company had approximately $586.9$194.3 million in cash and cash equivalents held in the U.S. and $633.6$897.8 million held outside of the U.S. (primarily in the U.K., the Eurozone, Chile,Australia, India, Canada, Saudi Arabia and India)the United Arab Emirates), which is used primarily for funding operations in those regions. Other than the tax cost of repatriating funds to the U.S. (see Note 10, 7- Income Taxes of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 20162022 Form 10-K), there are no material impediments to repatriating these funds to the U.S.

The CompanyCompany had $341.6$326.2 million in letters of credit outstanding at December 29, 2017.June 30, 2023. Of this amount, $2.5$0.9 million was issued under the Revolving Credit Facility and $339.1$325.3 million was issued under separate, committed and uncommitted letter-of-credit facilities.

On May 9, 2023, the Company announced its intention to separate its CMS business, resulting in two independent publicly traded companies. Jacobs expects to complete the separation in fiscal 2024 through a distribution to Jacobs' stockholders that is intended to be tax-free to Jacobs’ stockholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes.There can be no assurances with respect to the timing or form of a separation transaction and completion remains subject to final approval by Jacobs’ Board of Directors and other customary conditions.
On February 6, 2023, the Company refinanced its Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan Facilities and on February 16, the Company issued $500.0 million in Bonds (defined below). See Note 11- Borrowings for further discussion relating to the terms of the Bonds, the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan Facilities following the issuance and refinancing.
On February 4, 2022, the Company acquired StreetLight Data, Inc. ("StreetLight"). StreetLight is a pioneer of mobility analytics who uses its data and machine learning resources to shed light on mobility and enable users to solve complex transportation problems. The Company paid total base consideration of approximately $190.8 million in cash, and issued $0.9 million in equity and $5.2 million in in-the-money stock options to the former owners of StreetLight. The Company also paid off StreetLight's debt of approximately $1.0 million simultaneously with the consummation of the acquisition.
On November 19, 2021, Jacobs acquired all outstanding shares of common stock of BlackLynx, a provider of high-performance software, to complement Jacobs' portfolio of cyber, intelligence and digital solutions. The Company paid total base consideration of approximately $235.4 million in cash to the former owners of BlackLynx. In conjunction with the acquisition, the Company also paid off BlackLynx's debt of approximately $5.3 million simultaneously with the consummation of the acquisition.
We believe we have adequate liquidity and capital resources to fund our operations, support our debt service, pay dividends and buy back shares and support our ongoing acquisition strategyprojected cash requirements for the next twelve months based on the liquidity provided by our cash and cash equivalents on hand, our borrowing capacity remaining under the Revolving Credit Facility and our continuing cash from operations.
We were in compliance with all of our debt covenants at December 29, 2017.

Interest on amounts borrowed under these agreementsagreements is subject to adjustment based on the Company’sCompany’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the credit agreements governing the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan Facility and Revolving Credit Facility)Facilities). Depending on the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio,

borrowings denominated in U.S. dollars under the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan Facility and Revolving Credit FacilityFacilities bear interest at a EurocurrencySOFR rate plus a margin of between 1.0%0.975% and 1.5%1.725% or a base rate plus a margin of between 0%0.0% and 0.5%0.625% including applicable margins while borrowings denominated in British pounds under these respective facilities bear interest at an adjusted SONIA rate plus a margin of between 0.908% and 1.658%.

Additionally, our Revolving Credit Facility, Term Loan Facilities and the Bonds have interest rates subject to potential increases relating to certain ESG metrics as stipulated in the related agreements and as discussed in Note 11- Borrowings.

However, as discussed in Note 17- Commitments and Contingencies and Derivative Financial Instruments, we are party to swap agreements with an aggregate notional value of $906.7 million to convert the variable rate interest based liabilities associated with a corresponding amount of our debt into fixed interest rate liabilities, leaving $1.80 billion in principal amount subject to variable interest rate risk. Additionally, during fiscal 2022, we entered into two treasury lock arrangements with an aggregate notional value of $500.0 million, which were settled in second quarter fiscal 2023, and are disclosed in further detail in Note 17- Commitments and Contingencies and Derivative Financial Instruments.
For the threenine months ended December 29, 2017,June 30, 2023, our weighted average borrowings that are subject to floating rate borrowingsexposure were approximately $918 million.$2.40 billion. If floating interest rates had increased by 1.00%, our interest expense for the threenine months ended December 29, 2017June 30, 2023 would have increased by approximately $2.4$18.0 million.

Foreign Currency Risk

In situations where our operations incur contractthe Company incurs costs in currencies other than theirour functional currency, we attempt to have a portion of the related contract revenues denominated in the same currencies as the costs. In those situations, where revenues and costs are transacted in different currencies, we sometimes enter into foreign exchange contracts in order to limit our exposure to fluctuating foreign currencies. We follow the provisions of ASC No. 815, Derivatives and Hedging in accounting for our derivative contracts. The Company does not currently havehas $829.3 million in notional value of exchange rate sensitive instruments that would have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements or results of operations.

at June 30, 2023. See Note 17-

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are those controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The Company’s management, with the participation of its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined by Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”),defined above, as of December 29, 2017,June 30, 2023, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management, with the participation of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer) concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as of the Evaluation Date, were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’sSEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As previously disclosed, the Company acquired CH2M in December 2017. Prior to the acquisition, CH2M reported in their Annual Report on Form 10-K Part II – Item 9A – Controls and Procedures for the year ended December 30, 2016 that it had identified a material weakness in its internal controls over financial reporting relating to internal control deficiencies that involved the development of project cost estimates for long-term contracts accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method.  Prior to the closing of the acquisition, CH2M management developed and initiated a plan to remediate these internal control deficiencies, which included the implementation of new and revised key internal controls.  As of December 29, 2017, management of the Company has not fully assessed CH2M’s internal control over financial reporting and is currently testing new and revised internal controls for design and operating effectiveness.  As permitted by SEC guidance for newly acquired businesses, management’s assessment of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures did not include an assessment of those disclosure controls and procedures of CH2M that are subsumed by internal control over financial reporting. CH2M accounted for approximately 42% of total assets as of the Evaluation Date and approximately 5% of total revenues of the Company for the fiscal quarter ended on the Evaluation Date.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s system ofto our internal control over financial reporting which were identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act during the quarter ended December 29, 2017June 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, itsour internal control over financial reporting.

Before making an investment decision with respect to our common stock, you should carefully consider those risk factors, contained in our 2017 Form 10-K.

If we do not have adequate indemnification for our nuclear services, it could adversely affect our business and financial condition.

The Price-Anderson Nuclear Industries Indemnity Act, commonly called the Price-Anderson Act (“PAA”), is a U.S. federal law, which, among other things, regulates radioactive materials and the nuclear energy industry, including liability and compensation in the event of nuclear related incidents. The PAA provides certain protections and indemnification to nuclear energy plant operators and U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) contractors. The PAA protections and indemnification apply to us as part of our services to the U.S. nuclear energy industry and DOE for new facilities, maintenance, modification, decontamination and decommissioning of nuclear energy, weapons, and research facilities.

We offer similar services in other jurisdictions outside the U.S.  For those jurisdictions, varying levels of nuclear liability protection is provided by international treaties, and/or domestic laws, such as the Nuclear Liability and Compensation Act of Canada and the Nuclear Installations Act of the United Kingdom, insurance and/or assets of the nuclear installation operators (some of which are backed by governments) as well as under appropriate enforceable contractual indemnificationsthe financial and hold-harmless provisions.  These protectionsbusiness disclosures contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and indemnifications, however, may not cover all of our liability that could arise inother current and periodic reports filed with the performance of these services. To the extent the PAA or other protections and indemnifications do not apply to our services, our business could be adversely affected because of the cost of losses associated with liability not covered by the available protections and indemnifications, or by virtue of our loss of business because of these added costs
