NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1.Basis of Presentation
Unless the context otherwise requires:
References herein to “Jacobs” are to Jacobs Solutions Inc. and its predecessors;
References herein to the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our” are to Jacobs Solutions 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 30, 2022 (“2022 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 30, 2022, and for the three month period ended December 30, 2022.
Our interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.
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. 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 18- Segment Information.
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. 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

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
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 unaudited Consolidated Statements of Earnings as discontinued operations for all periods presented and all of the ECR business to be sold under the terms of the ECR sale had been conveyed to Worley and as such, no amounts remain held for sale.
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- Significant Accounting Policies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2022 Form 10-K for a discussion of other significant estimates and assumptions affecting our consolidated financial statements.
3.    Fair Value and Fair Value Measurements
Certain amounts included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented at fair 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.
Please refer to Note 2- Significant Accounting Policies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2022 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.
The net carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and payables and short-term debt approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. See Note 11- Borrowings for a discussion of the fair value of long-term debt.
Fair value measurements relating to our 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 for the income approach using the multiple period excess earnings method and the relief from royalties method. The significant assumptions used in estimating fair value

Page 11

JACOBS SOLUTIONS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
include (i) revenue projections of the business, including profitability, (ii) attrition rates and (iii) the estimated discount rate that reflects the level of risk associated with receiving future cash flows. 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. 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.
4.    Revenue Accounting for Contracts
Disaggregation of Revenues
Our revenues are principally derived from contracts to provide a diverse range of technical, professional, and construction services to a large number of industrial, commercial, and governmental clients. We provide a broad range of engineering, design, and architectural services; construction and construction management services; operations and maintenance services; and technical, digital, process, scientific and systems consulting services. We provide our services through offices and subsidiaries located primarily in North America, Europe, the Middle East, India, Australia, Africa, and Asia. We provide our services under cost-reimbursable and fixed-price contracts. Our contracts are with many different customers in numerous industries. Refer to Note 18- Segment Information for additional information on how we disaggregate our revenues by reportable segment.
The following table further disaggregates our revenue by geographic area for the three months ended December 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (in thousands):

The Company had approximately $17.2 billion in remaining performance obligations as of December 30, 2022. The Company expects to recognize approximately 46% of our remaining performance obligations into revenue within the next twelve months and the remaining 54% thereafter.
Although remaining performance obligations reflect business that is considered to be firm, cancellations, scope adjustments or deferrals may occur that impact their volume or the 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 months ended December 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (in thousands):

Share Repurchases
On January 16, 2020, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $1.0 billion of the Company's common stock (the "2020 Repurchase Authorization"). In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company initiated an accelerated share repurchase program under the 2020 Repurchase Authorization by advancing $250 million to a financial institution in a privately negotiated transaction, with final non-cash settlement on the program during the first quarter of fiscal 2022 of 342,054 shares.

The 2020 Repurchase Authorization expired on January 15, 2023. On January 25, 2023, the Company's Board of Directors authorized an incremental share repurchase program of up to $1.0 billion of the Company's stock, to expire on January 25, 2026 (the "2023 Repurchase Authorization"). No repurchase activity has taken place under the 2023 Share Repurchase Authorization to date. Subsequent to the expiration of the 2020 Repurchase Authorization and the approval of the 2023 Repurchase Authorization, the Company has $1.0 billion remaining under the 2023 Repurchase Authorization.
Our share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to purchase any shares. Share repurchases may be executed through various means including, without limitation, accelerated share repurchases, open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, purchases pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 plans or otherwise. The authorization for the share repurchase programs may be terminated, increased or decreased by the Company’s Board of Directors in its discretion at any time. The timing, amount and manner of share repurchases may depend upon market conditions and economic circumstances, availability of investment opportunities, the availability and costs of financing, currency fluctuations, the market price of the Company's common stock, other uses of capital and other factors.
Dividends
On January 25, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.26 per share of the Company’s common stock to be paid on March 24, 2023, to shareholders of record on the close of business on February 24, 2023. Future dividend declarations are subject to review and approval by the Company’s Board of Directors.

Amounts billed, net consist of amounts invoiced to clients in accordance with the terms of our client contracts and are shown net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. We anticipate that substantially all of such billed amounts will be collected over the next twelve months.
Unbilled receivables and other, which represent an unconditional right to payment subject only to the passage of time, are reclassified to amounts billed when they are billed under the terms of the contract. We anticipate that substantially all of such unbilled amounts will be billed and collected over the next twelve months.
Contract assets represent unbilled amounts where the right to payment is subject to more than merely the passage of time and includes performance-based incentives and services that have been provided in advance of agreed contractual milestones. Contract assets are transferred to unbilled receivables when the right to consideration becomes unconditional and are transferred to amounts billed upon invoicing.

9.    Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rates from continuing operations for the three months ended December 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were 25.4% and 9.4%, respectively. The most significant items contributing to the difference between the statutory U.S. federal corporate tax rate of 21.0% and the Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended December 30, 2022 were U.S. state income tax expense of $4.6 million and U.S. tax on foreign earnings of $3.6 million. Both items are expected to have a continuing impact on the Company's effective tax rate for the remainder of the fiscal year.
The most significant items contributing to the difference between the statutory U.S. federal corporate tax rate of 21.0% and the Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2021 were a tax benefit of $15.7 million related to the release of previously reserved foreign tax credit assets, $4.2 million excess tax benefit attributable to stock compensation, and $4.0 million benefit from filing amended state returns.
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. During the next 12 months, it is reasonably possible that U.S. tax audit resolutions may reduce unrecognized tax benefits by up to $44.2 million, resulting in a reduction of the Company's provision for taxes on earnings.
10.    Joint Ventures, VIEs and Other Investments
We execute certain contracts jointly with third parties through various forms of joint ventures. 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. Many of these joint ventures are formed for a specific project. The assets of our joint ventures generally consist almost entirely of cash and receivables (representing amounts due from clients), and the liabilities of our joint ventures generally 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. Many of the joint ventures are deemed to be variable interest entities (“VIE”) because they lack sufficient equity to finance the activities of the joint venture.
The assets of a joint venture are restricted for use to the obligations of the particular joint venture and are not available for general operations of the Company. Our risk of loss on these arrangements is usually shared with our partners. The liability of each partner is usually joint and several, which means that each partner may become liable for the entire risk of loss on the project. Furthermore, on some of our projects, the Company has granted guarantees that may encumber both our contracting subsidiary company and the Company for the entire risk of loss on the project. The Company is unable to estimate the maximum potential amount of future payments that we could be required to make under outstanding performance guarantees related to joint venture projects due to a number of factors, including but not limited to, the nature and extent of any contractual defaults by our joint venture partners, resource availability, potential performance delays caused by the defaults, the location of the projects, and the terms of the related contracts. Refer to Note 17- Commitments and Contingencies and Derivative Financial Instruments for further discussion relating to performance guarantees.
For consolidated joint ventures, the entire amount of the services performed, and the costs associated with these services, including the services provided by the other joint venture partners, are included in the Company's results of operations. Likewise, the entire amount of each of the assets and liabilities are included in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. For the consolidated VIEs, the carrying value of assets and liabilities was $358.2 million and $218.4 million, respectively, as of December 30, 2022 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.
Unconsolidated joint ventures are accounted for under proportionate consolidation or the equity method. Proportionate consolidation is used for joint ventures that include unincorporated legal entities and activities of the joint venture that are construction-related. For those joint ventures accounted for under proportionate consolidation, only the Company’s pro rata share of assets, liabilities, revenue, and costs are included in the Company’s balance sheet and results of operations.

Page 17

JACOBS SOLUTIONS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
For the proportionate consolidated VIEs, the carrying value of assets and liabilities was $118.7 million and $139.2 million, respectively, as of December 30, 2022, and $109.3 million and $129.2 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2022. For those joint ventures accounted for under the equity method, the Company's investment balances for the joint venture are included in Other Noncurrent Assets: Miscellaneous on the balance sheet and the Company’s pro rata share of net income is included in Revenues. In limited cases, there are basis differences between the equity in the joint venture and the Company's investment created when the Company purchased its share of the joint venture. These basis differences are amortized based on an internal allocation to underlying net assets, excluding allocations to goodwill. As of December 30, 2022, the Company does not have any equity method investments that exceed its share of venture net assets. Our investments in equity method joint ventures on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022 were $55.9 million and $56.6 million, respectively. During the three months ended December 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we recognized income from equity method joint ventures of $10.0 million and $6.8 million, respectively.
Accounts receivable from unconsolidated joint ventures accounted for under the equity method was $23.1 million and $21.1 million as of December 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022, respectively.

(1)During fiscal 2022, the aggregate principal amounts denominated in British pounds under the Revolving Credit Facility, 2021 Term Loan Facility and 2020 Term Loan Facility transitioned from underlying LIBOR benchmarked rates to SONIA rates. Borrowings denominated in U.S. dollars remained benchmarked to LIBOR rates.
(2)Depending on the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the credit agreement governing the Revolving Credit Facility (defined below)), U.S. dollar denominated borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at either a eurocurrency rate plus a margin of between 0.875% and 1.625% or a base rate plus a margin of between 0% and 0.625%. The applicable LIBOR rates including applicable margins at December 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022 were approximately 5.76% and 4.08%. Borrowings denominated in British pounds bear interest at an adjusted SONIA rate plus a margin of between 0.875% and 1.625%. There were no amounts drawn in British pounds as of December 30, 2022.
(3)Depending on the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the credit agreement governing the 2021 Term Loan Facility (defined below)), U.S. dollar denominated borrowings under the 2021 Term Loan Facility bear interest at either a eurocurrency rate plus a margin of between 0.875% and 1.625% or a base rate plus a margin of between 0% and 0.625%. The applicable LIBOR rate including applicable margins for borrowings denominated in U.S. dollars at December 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022 was approximately 5.76% and 4.06%. Borrowings denominated in British pounds bear interest at an adjusted SONIA rate plus a margin of between 0.875% and 1.625%, which was approximately 4.84% and 3.60% at December 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022, respectively.
(4)Depending on the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the credit agreement governing the 2020 Term Loan Facility (defined below)), U.S. dollar denominated borrowings under the 2020 Term Loan Facility bear interest at either a eurocurrency rate plus a margin of between 0.875% and 1.5% or a base rate plus a margin of between 0% and 0.5%. The applicable LIBOR rates including applicable margins for borrowings denominated in U.S. dollars at December 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022 were approximately 5.76% and 4.49%. Borrowings denominated in British pounds bear interest at an adjusted SONIA rate plus

a margin of between 0.875% and 1.625%, which was approximately 4.84% and 3.60% at December 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022, respectively.
(5)The 2020 Term Loan requires quarterly principal repayments of 1.25%, or $9.125 million and £3.125 million, of the aggregate initial principal amount borrowed.
(6)All amounts due under the Note Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the Senior Notes were issued were repaid in the first fiscal quarter of 2023.
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.
Senior Notes
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.
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). We were in compliance with the covenants under the Revolving Credit Facility at December 30, 2022.
The Revolving Credit Facility 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. 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 $50.0 million sub facility for swing line loans. Letters of credit are subject to fees based on the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio. The Company pays a facility fee of between 0.08% and 0.23% per annum depending on the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio.
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 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.
The 2020 Term Loan Facility and the 2021 Term Loan Facility are together referred to as the "Term Loan Facilities".

Page 19

JACOBS SOLUTIONS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
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 Term Loan Facilities at December 30, 2022.

On February 6, 2023, the Company refinanced its Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan Facilities (the "Refinancing"). In connection with the Refinancing, the Revolving Credit Facility was amended and restated 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 as a guarantor of the obligations of JEGI and its subsidiaries under the Revolving Credit Agreement. The 2021 Term Loan Facility was amended and restated 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. Finally, 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.
Other arrangements
During fiscal 2022 the Company entered into two treasury locks to manage its interest rate exposure with the anticipated issuance of fixed rate debt before December 2023. During fiscal 2020, the Company entered into interest rate and cross currency derivative contracts to swap a portion of our variable rate debt to fixed rate debt. See Note 17- Commitments and Contingencies and Derivative Financial Instruments for discussion regarding the Company's derivative instruments.
The Company has issued $1.3 million in letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility, leaving $637.9 million of available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility at December 30, 2022. In addition, the Company had issued $291.2 million under separate, committed and uncommitted letter-of-credit facilities for total issued letters of credit of $292.5 million at December 30, 2022.
12.    Leases
The Company’s right-of use assets and lease liabilities relate to real estate, project assets used in connection with long-term construction contracts, IT assets and vehicles. The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms of one year to thirteen years. The Company’s lease obligations are primarily for the use of office space and are primarily operating leases. Certain of the Company’s leases contain renewal, extension, or termination options. The Company assesses each option on an individual basis and will only include options reasonably certain of exercise in the lease term. The Company generally considers the base term to be the term provided in the contract. None of the Company’s lease agreements contain material options to purchase the lease property, material residual value guarantees, or material restrictions or covenants.
Long-term project asset and vehicle leases (leases with terms greater than twelve months), along with all real estate and IT asset leases, are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at the present value of the minimum lease payments not yet paid, net of impairments taken. Because the Company primarily acts as a lessee and the rates implicit in its leases are not readily determinable, the Company generally uses its incremental borrowing rate on the lease commencement date to calculate the present value of future lease payments. Certain leases include payments that are based solely on an index or rate. These variable lease payments are included in the calculation of the right-of-use ("ROU") asset and lease liability and are initially measured using the index or rate at the lease commencement date. Other variable lease payments, such as payments based on use and for property taxes, insurance, or common area maintenance that are based on actual assessments are excluded from the ROU asset and lease liability and are expensed as incurred. In addition to the present value of the future lease payments, the calculation of the ROU asset also includes any deferred rent, lease pre-payments and initial direct costs of obtaining the lease, such as commissions.

Certain lease contracts contain nonlease components such as maintenance and utilities. The Company has made an accounting policy election, as allowed under ASC 842-10-15-37 and discussed above, to capitalize both the lease component and nonlease components of its contracts as a single lease component for all of its right-of-use assets.
Short-term project asset and vehicle leases (project asset and vehicle leases with an initial term of twelve months or less or leases that are cancellable by the lessee and lessor without significant penalties) are not recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The majority of the Company’s short-term leases relate to equipment used on construction projects. These leases are entered into at agreed upon hourly, daily, weekly or monthly rental rates for an unspecified duration and typically have a termination for convenience provision. Such equipment leases are considered short-term in nature unless it is reasonably certain that the equipment will be leased for a term greater than twelve months.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
During fiscal 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 first quarters of fiscal 2023 and 2022 of $27.1 million and $72.3 million, respectively, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statement of earnings. The impairment losses recorded include $24.3 million and $54.9 million related to right-of-use lease assets and $2.8 million and $17.4 million related to other long-lived assets, including property, equipment and improvements and leasehold improvements for the fiscal 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.

integration initiatives associated with the acquisition of John Wood Group's nuclear business. The restructuring activities and related costs were comprised mainly of separation and lease abandonment and sublease programs, while the separation and integration activities and costs were mainly related to the engagement of consulting services and internal personnel and other related costs dedicated to the Company’s ECR-business separation. The activities of these initiatives have been substantially completed.
As part of the Company's acquisition of CH2M Hill Companies, Ltd.

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 a total notional value of $500.0 million to manage its interest rate exposure to the anticipated issuance of fixed rate debt before December 2023. The fair value of the treasury locks at December 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022 was $41.5 million and $40.9 million, respectively, all of which is included in current assets within receivables and contract assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The unrealized net gain on these instruments was $31.3 million and $30.8 million, net of tax, and is included in accumulated other comprehensive income as of December 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022, respectively. Upon issuance of up to $500 million of fixed rate debt, the gain (loss) will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the debt.
The Company is party to interest rate swap agreements and a cross-currency swap agreement with notional values of $766.7 million and $127.8 million, respectively, as of December 30, 2022 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

Page 28

JACOBS SOLUTIONS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
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. 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 December 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022 was $108.0 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 $80.2 million and $87.5 million, net of tax, and was included in accumulated other comprehensive income as of December 30, 2022 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 $382.5 million at December 30, 2022 and $298.2 million at September 30, 2022. The length of these contracts currently ranges from one to 12 months. The fair value of the foreign exchange contracts at December 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022 was $12.1 million and $(3.2) million, respectively, which is included within receivables and contract assets for the current period and within accounts payable for the 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 representing 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 December 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022, the Company had issued and outstanding approximately $292.5 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 certain 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 terms and conditions of the contracts which the Company enters with its clients. 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, we are subject to 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, 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

Page 29

JACOBS SOLUTIONS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
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 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
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, consists of 10 consolidated cases. This case and the related cases involve several hundred plaintiffs that were employees of the contractors that completed the remediation and dredging work. The cases are at various stages of litigation and are currently stayed pending a ruling from the Tennessee Supreme Court. Additionally, in May 2019, Roane County and the cities of Kingston and Harriman filed a lawsuit against TVA and the Company alleging that they misled the public about risks associated with the released fly ash. In October 2020, the Court granted Jacobs and TVA’s motion to dismiss the Roane County litigation and closed the case. In addition, in November 2019, a resident of Roane County, Margie Delozier, filed a putative class action against TVA and the Company alleging they failed to adequately warn local residents about risks associated with the released fly ash. The Company and TVA filed separate motions to dismiss the Delozier case in April 2020. In February 2021, the Court granted dismissal of the Delozier Complaint with prejudice, with the exception of plaintiffs’ nuisance cause of action, which plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed in June 2021. In August 2021, Thomas Ryan, a resident of Roane County, filed an action against Jacobs and TVA claiming personal injury and property damage. In June 2022, the Court granted Jacobs' motion to dismiss Ryan’s action in its entirety, closing the case. Separately, in February 2020, the Company learned that the district attorney in Roane County recommended that the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation investigate issues pertaining to clean up worker safety at Kingston. On November 16, 2021, the Roane County district attorney announced that it had concluded its investigation into issues pertaining to the Kingston coal ash spill cleanup. No indictments were issued. There has been no finding of liability against the Company or that any of the alleged illnesses are the result of exposure to fly ash in any of the above matters. The Company disputes the allegations asserted in all of the above matters and is vigorously defending these matters. The Company does not expect the resolution of these matters to have a material adverse effect on 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 (DVS), in addition to the current operating segments. The Company's four operating segments are now comprised of its two global lines of business ("LOBs"): Critical Mission Solutions ("CMS") and People & Places Solutions ("P&PS"), its business unit Divergent Solutions ("DVS") and its majority investment in PA Consulting. The formation of the DVS operating segment resulted in certain portions of our CMS and PPS businesses moving to the new segment to align with the Company's business strategy.
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer is the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) and can evaluate the performance of each of these segments and make appropriate resource allocations among each of the segments. Under this organization, the sales function is managed by segment, and accordingly, the associated cost is embedded in the segments and reported to the respective 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 segment 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, and the expense associated with the Jacobs 1999 Stock

Incentive Plan, 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 segments except for those amounts determined to relate to the business as a whole (which amounts remain in other corporate expenses).
Financial information for each segment is reviewed by the CODM to assess performance and make decisions regarding the allocation of resources. The CODM evaluates the operating performance of our operating 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 segments.
The following tables present total revenues and segment operating profit from continuing operations for each reportable segment (in thousands) and includes a reconciliation of segment operating profit to total U.S. GAAP operating profit by including certain corporate-level expenses, Restructuring and other charges (as defined in Note 16- Restructuring and Other Charges) and transaction and integration costs (in thousands).

Other corporate expenses included intangibles amortization of $49.8 million and $46.9 million for the three months ended December 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Additionally, the three 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 the current quarter from changes in employee benefit programs of $41 million offset by approximately $26 million in higher quarter over quarter spend in company technology platforms and other personnel and corporate cost increases.

Included in the three months ended December 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 are $27.1 million and $72.3 million, respectively, in real estate impairment charges related to the Company's transformation initiatives.
(3)
The three months ended December 31, 2021 included a gain of $6.9 million related to a lease termination. Additionally, the increase in net interest expense year over year is primarily due to the higher levels of debt outstanding due to the funding of the StreetLight and BlackLynx acquisitions in fiscal 2022 and increased borrowings associated with the payment of the Legacy CH2M Matter settlement also in the prior year, in addition to higher interest rates.

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;
The Company’s fiscal 2022 audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2022 Form 10-K; and
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,” and similar words are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements we make concerning our business, financial condition and results of operations and our expectations as to our future growth, prospects, financial outlook and business strategy for fiscal year 2023 or future fiscal years, our expectations for the percentage of backlog we will realize as revenue in fiscal year 2023, and the anticipated benefits of any acquisition or the strategic investment in PA Consulting. 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 our ability to execute on our three-year corporate strategy, including our ability to invest in the tools needed to fully implement our strategy, competition from existing and future competitors in our target markets, our ability to achieve the cost-savings and synergies contemplated by our recent acquisitions within the expected time frames or to achieve them fully and to successfully integrate acquired businesses while retaining key personnel, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic or any future pandemic, and any resulting economic downturn on our results, prospects and opportunities, measures or restrictions imposed by governments and health officials in response to such pandemic, the timing of the award of projects and funding and potential changes to the amounts provided for, under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, financial market risks that may affect the Company, including by affecting the Company's access to capital, the cost of such capital and/or the Company's funding obligations under defined benefit pension and postretirement plans, as well as general economic conditions, including inflation and the actions taken by monetary authorities in response to inflation, changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, changes in capital markets, the impact of a possible recession or economic downturn on our results, prospects and opportunities, and geopolitical events and conflicts, among others. The impact of such matters includes, but is not limited to, 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 pandemics 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 our Quarterly Reports 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.
We are now focused on broadening our leadership in sustainable, high growth sectors. As part of our strategy, our brand promise: "Challenging today. Reinventing tomorrow." signals our transition to a global technology-forward solutions company. We began trading as “J” on the New York Stock Exchange in December 2019, and in March 2021 our Global Industry Classifications Standard code changed to Research & Consulting Services. Our Focus 2023 Transformation Office is charged with driving further innovation, delivering value-creating solutions for our clients and leveraging an integrated digital and technology strategy to improve our efficiency and effectiveness, ultimately freeing up valuable time and resources for reinvestment in our people.
In the fourth quarter fiscal 2022, Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. (the predecessor parent company) created a new holding company, Jacobs Solutions Inc., which, through a reverse triangular merger, became the new parent company of Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc. As a result of the transaction, the predecessor parent company's then-current stockholders automatically became stockholders of Jacobs Solutions Inc., on a one-for-one basis, with the same number of shares and same ownership percentage of the predecessor parent company’s common stock that they held immediately prior to the transaction.

Overview – Three Months Ended December 30, 2022
Net earnings attributable to the Company from continuing operations for the first fiscal quarter ended December 30, 2022 were $136.4 million (or $1.07 per diluted share), an increase of $2.1 million, from net earnings of $134.3 million (or $1.03 per diluted share) for the corresponding period last year. While operating profit levels were up for the respective three-month periods of fiscal 2023 due primarily to our P&PS business, the first fiscal quarter of 2023 was impacted by $39.7 million in pre-tax Restructuring and other charges and transaction costs compared to fiscal 2022 amounts of $75.0 million, for both periods associated mainly with the Company's transformation initiatives relating to real estate which is discussed in Note 16- Restructuring and Other Charges. Additionally, the 2023 first fiscal quarter was impacted by approximately $15.0 million in net favorable impacts from overhead cost reductions associated mainly with one-time benefit program changes, while partly offset by higher incentive and other compensation charges and higher investments in company technology platforms. Also, first quarter fiscal 2023 other expense, net, of $40.3 million was higher by $32.1 million versus first quarter fiscal 2022 amounts of $8.2 million, with the current period primarily impacted by unfavorable higher net interest expense compared to the prior year quarter as discussed further below. Our reported net earnings for the current year quarter were unfavorably impacted by higher income taxes of $34.2 million compared to the fiscal 2022 period, attributable to higher effective tax rates in the current quarter due mainly to the absence of prior year tax benefits including $15.7 million related to the release of previously valued foreign tax credits and other prior year favorable tax items combined with current quarter income tax expense items further discussed in Note 9- Income Taxes. Additionally, redeemable noncontrolling interests was $5.7 million lower in the current quarter due to unfavorable net earnings results in our PA Consulting investment compared to the prior year quarter.
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 first fiscal quarter of 2023 were $3.80 billion, an increase of $418.0 million, or 12.4%, from $3.38 billion for the corresponding period last year. Revenue increases for the year over year period were due mainly to the Company's P&PS and CMS legacy businesses and in addition, to a smaller degree, fiscal 2023 incremental revenues benefited from the StreetLight acquisition (owned for the full period in fiscal 2023) and other increases in our DVS business. 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. Due to foreign currency translation impacts, revenues in our PA Consulting investment decreased (excluding translation impacts, PA Consulting experienced year over year growth). Also, revenue was unfavorably impacted by foreign currency translation of $158.5 million for the three months ended December 30, 2022 in our international businesses, with no significant impact in the prior year period. Pass-through costs included in revenues for the three months ended December 30, 2022 amounted to $673.7 million, an increase of $195.6 million, or 40.9%, from $478.1 million from the corresponding period last year.
Gross profit for the first fiscal quarter of 2023 was $814.7 million, an increase of $18.2 million, or 2.3%, from $796.5 million from the corresponding period last year. Our gross profit margins were 21.4% and 23.6% for the three months ended December 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, with these margin differences being mainly attributable to lower utilization trends primarily in the PA Consulting business, project mix impacts in our legacy CMS portfolio and unfavorable foreign currency translation impacts, partly offset by new program startups won in fiscal 2022 and favorable performance in our P&PS advanced facilities and U.S. businesses. Additionally, gross profit benefited from favorable impacts from overhead cost reductions associated mainly with one-time benefit program changes, while partly offset by higher incentive and other compensation charges and higher investments in company technology platforms in the current year, as mentioned above.
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 months ended December 30, 2022 were $576.9 million, a decrease of $42.2 million or (6.8)% from $619.1 million for the corresponding period last year. The current year's three months ended results were impacted by decreases in real estate related costs, as well as other department spend decreases due in part to the Company's transformation initiatives. Also, Restructuring and other charges for fiscal 2023 and 2022 included $27.1 million and $73.2 million, respectively, in costs associated with the Company's transformation initiatives relating to real

Page 37


estate. Lastly, SG&A expenses benefited from favorable foreign exchange impacts of $27.5 million for the three months ended December 30, 2022, with no significant impact in the corresponding prior year period.
Net interest expense for the three months ended December 30, 2022 was $37.1 million, an increase of $19.1 million from $17.9 million for the corresponding period last year. The increase in net interest expense for the three month period was due to higher levels of debt outstanding due to the funding of the StreetLight and BlackLynx acquisitions and increased borrowings associated with the payment of the settlement of a legacy litigation matter involving a subsidiary of CH2M (the "Legacy CH2M Matter") in fiscal 2022, in addition to higher interest rates.
Miscellaneous (expense) income, net for the three months ended December 30, 2022 was $(3.3) million in comparison to $9.7 million for the corresponding period last year. The $12.9 million decrease from the prior three-month comparable period was due primarily to an increase in pension costs due to higher interest rate impacts in the current year along with the prior year $6.9 million gain related to a lease termination.
The Company’s effective tax rates from continuing operations for the three months ended December 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were 25.4% and 9.4%, respectively. The most significant items contributing to the difference between the statutory U.S. federal corporate tax rate of 21.0% and the Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended December 30, 2022 were U.S. state income tax expense of $4.6 million and U.S. tax on foreign earnings of $3.6 million. Both items are expected to have a continuing impact on the Company's effective tax rate for the remainder of the fiscal year.
The most significant items contributing to the difference between the statutory U.S. federal corporate tax rate of 21.0% and the Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2021 were a tax benefit of $15.7 million related to the release of previously reserved foreign tax credit assets, $4.2 million excess tax benefit attributable to stock compensation, and $4.0 million benefit from filing amended state returns.
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.

Critical Mission Solutions (CMS) segment revenues for the three months ended December 30, 2022 were $1.08 billion, an increase of $98.4 million, or 10.1%, from $976.8 million for the corresponding period last year. During the three months ended December 30, 2022, revenue benefited from contracts awarded in late fiscal 2022, including the Department of Energy Nuclear remediation program. Also, impacts on revenues from unfavorable foreign currency translation were approximately $33.1 million for the three month period ended December 30, 2022, compared to $2.2 million in favorable impacts in the corresponding prior year period.

Operating profit for the segment was $82.2 million for the three months ended December 30, 2022, representing a decrease of $9.0 million, or (9.9)%, from $91.2 million for the corresponding period last year. Operating profit levels were down from the prior year, with impacts from large contract wind downs in early fiscal 2022, which carried higher profit margins, offset in part by growth in nuclear remediation work for the U.S. Department of Energy noted above. Impacts on operating profit from unfavorable foreign currency translation were approximately $3.9 million for the three months ended December 30, 2022, as compared to insignificant impacts in the corresponding prior year period.

The increase in revenue for the three months ended December 30, 2022 was primarily driven by growth in both our advanced facilities and U.S. businesses as compared to the prior year corresponding period. Foreign currency translation had a $83.2 million unfavorable impact on revenues in our international businesses for the three period ended December 30, 2022, respectively, as compared to unfavorable impacts of $2.6 million in the corresponding prior year period.

Operating profit for the segment for the three month period ended December 30, 2022 was $226.6 million, an increase of $37.8 million, or 20.0%, from $188.8 million for the corresponding period last year. The year-over-year increase in operating profit for the three months ended December 30, 2022 was driven primarily by the revenue growth mentioned above while holding selling, general and administrative expenses relatively flat. Foreign currency translation had a $15.9 million unfavorable impact on operating profit in our international businesses for the three month periods ended December 30, 2022, respectively as compared to insignificant impacts in the corresponding prior year period.

Operating Profit$11,967 $23,108 
Revenues for the Divergent Solutions segment for the three months ended December 30, 2022 were $214.5 million, an increase of $21.6 million, or 11.2%, from $192.9 million for the corresponding period last year. The increase in revenue for the three months ended December 30, 2022 benefited from incremental revenues from the StreetLight acquisition (owned for the full period in fiscal 2023) and the startup of new programs previously won in fiscal 2022. Foreign currency translation impacts on revenue were not significant for either period.

Operating profit for the segment was $12.0 million for the three months ended December 30, 2022, a decrease of $11.1 million, or 48.2%, from $23.1 million, for the corresponding period last year. The decrease in operating profit for the three months ended December 30, 2022 was primarily driven by unfavorable impacts of changes in overhead billing rates during the current year quarter of 2023 vs. the prior year quarter mainly in our cyber intelligence market. Impacts on operating profit from foreign currency were not significant for either period.

Operating Profit$51,027 $63,071 

Revenues for the PA Consulting segment for the three months ended December 30, 2022 were $282.0 million, a decrease of $7.9 million, or 2.7%, from $290.0 million for the corresponding period last year. The decrease in revenue for the three months ended December 30, 2022 was driven by foreign currency translation which had a $41.6 million unfavorable impact on revenues in our international businesses for the three months ended December 30, 2022, and a favorable impact of $5.3 million for the corresponding prior year quarter. In local currency (primarily GBP), PA Consulting experienced an approximate 10% increase in revenues as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to higher volumes in PA Consulting's existing business for previously delayed projects in fiscal 2022.

Operating profit for the segment for the three months ended December 30, 2022 was $51.0 million, a decrease of $12.0 million, or 19.1%, from $63.1 million, for the corresponding period last year, with the decrease partly due to unfavorable foreign currency translation impacts in our international business of $6.9 million as compared to $1.0 million in favorable impact in the corresponding prior year period. Additionally, operating profit was impacted by lower utilization as compared to the prior year quarter.
Other Corporate Expenses
Other corporate expenses for the three months ended December 30, 2022 were $93.7 million, a decrease of $11.7 million from $105.4 million for the corresponding period last year. This decrease during the three month period was primarily driven by approximately $15.0 million in net favorable impacts from overhead cost reductions associated mainly with one-time benefit program changes, while partly offset by higher incentive and other compensation charges and higher investments in company technology platforms.
Included in other corporate expenses 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 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 that such adjustments are not indicative of the performance of the related LOB.
Restructuring and Other Charges
See Note 16- Restructuring and Other Charges for information on the Company’s activity relating to restructuring and other charges.
Backlog Information
We include in backlog the total dollar amount of revenues we expect to record in the future as a result of performing work under contracts that have been awarded to us. Our policy with respect to Operations & Maintenance ("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, which are subject to the same policy applicable to all other O&M contracts), our policy is to include in backlog the full contract award, whether funded or unfunded, excluding option periods. Because of variations in the nature, size, expected duration, funding commitments, and the scope of services required by our contracts, the timing of when backlog will be recognized as revenues 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, including our U.S. government work. While management uses all information available 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 Engineering, 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 several fiscal quarters (and sometimes over fiscal years), we have presented our backlog on a year-over-year basis, rather than on a sequential, quarter-over-quarter basis.
The following table summarizes our backlog at December 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (in millions):
December 30, 2022December 31, 2021
Critical Mission Solutions$7,632 $7,525 
People & Places Solutions17,243 16,930 
Divergent Solutions3,077 3,275 
PA Consulting306 276 
            Total$28,258 $28,006 

The increase in backlog in Critical Mission Solutions (CMS) from December 31, 2021 was primarily driven by new business awards in the U.S. government space and nuclear remediation sectors offsetting slower growth in the U.S. Defense market.
The increase in backlog in People & Places Solutions (P&PS) from December 31, 2021 was primarily driven by new business awards in our federal, environmental and advanced facilities business.
The decrease in backlog in Divergent Solutions (DVS) from December 31, 2021 was primarily driven by delays of new awards because of continuing resolution throughout fiscal 2022.
The increase in backlog in PA Consulting from December 31, 2021 was primarily driven by strategic focus on long-term projects as well as organic year over year growth of the business.

Page 42


Consolidated backlog differs from the Company’s remaining performance obligations as defined by ASC 606 primarily because of our national government contracts (other than national government O&M contracts). Our policy is to generally include in backlog the full contract award, whether funded or unfunded excluding the 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 progress. Additionally, the Company includes our proportionate share of backlog related to unconsolidated joint ventures which is not included in our remaining performance obligations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At December 30, 2022, our principal sources of liquidity consisted of $1.21 billion in cash and cash equivalents and $637.9 million of available borrowing capacity under our $2.25 billion revolving credit agreement (the "Revolving Credit Facility"). We finance much of our operations and growth through cash generated by our operations.
The amount of cash and cash equivalents at December 30, 2022 represented an increase of $70.6 million from $1.14 billion at September 30, 2022, the reasons for which are described below.
Our net cash flow provided by operations of $302.3 million during the three months ended December 30, 2022 was unfavorable by $19.3 million in comparison to the cash flow provided by operations of $321.6 million for the corresponding prior year period. The year-over-year decrease in cash from operations is primarily attributable to lower earnings after adjustments for non-cash items compared to the prior period, in addition to a small decrease in working capital performance compared to the prior period.
Our net cash used for investing activities for the three months ended December 30, 2022 was $48.7 million, compared to cash used for investing activities of $249.6 million in the corresponding prior year period, with this change due primarily to the acquisition of BlackLynx in the prior year.
Our net cash used for financing activities of $246.1 million for the three months ended December 30, 2022 resulted mainly from cash used for share repurchases of $140.5 million, $58.4 million in repurchase of redeemable noncontrolling interests and $29.8 million in dividends to shareholders and $2.3 million in dividends to noncontrolling interest holders, partly offset by net proceeds from issuance of common stock of $14.8 million. Cash provided by financing activities in the corresponding prior year period was $144.4 million, due primarily to net proceeds from borrowings of $231.4 million, offset by cash used for repurchases of redeemable noncontrolling interests of $35.1 million and $27.5 million in dividends to shareholders and $14.1 million in net dividends to noncontrolling interest holders.
At December 30, 2022, the Company had approximately $210.0 million in cash and cash equivalents held in the U.S. and $1.0 billion held outside of the U.S. (primarily in the U.K., the Eurozone, Australia, India, Canada, Israel and 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 6- Income Taxes of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2022 Form 10-K), there are no material impediments to repatriating these funds to the U.S.
The Company had $292.5 million in letters of credit outstanding at December 30, 2022. Of this amount, $1.3 million was issued under the Revolving Credit Facility and $291.2 million was issued under separate, committed and uncommitted letter-of-credit facilities.
On February 6, 2023, the Company refinanced its Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan Facilities. See Note 11- Borrowings for further discussion relating to the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan Facilities following the 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 projected cash requirements for the next twelve months based on the liquidity provided by our cash and cash equivalents on hand, our borrowing capacity and our continuing cash from operations.
We were in compliance with all of our debt covenants at December 30, 2022.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading, speculation or other similar purposes that would expose the Company to market risk. In the normal course of business, our results of operations are exposed to risks associated with fluctuations in interest rates and currency exchange rates.
Interest Rate Risk
Please see the Note 11- Borrowings in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements appearing under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which is incorporated herein by reference, for a discussion of the Revolving Credit Facility, Term Loan Facilities and Note Purchase Agreement.
Our Revolving Credit Facility, Term Loan Facilities and certain other debt obligations are subject to variable rate interest which could be adversely affected by an increase in interest rates. As of December 30, 2022, we had an aggregate of $3.49 billion in outstanding borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan Facilities. Interest on amounts borrowed under these agreements is subject to adjustment based on the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the credit agreements governing the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan Facilities). Depending on the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio, borrowings denominated in U.S. dollars under the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan Facilities bear interest at a Eurocurrency rate plus a margin of between 0.875% and 1.625% or a base rate plus a margin of between 0.0% and 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 0.875% and 1.625%. Additionally, if our Consolidated Leverage Ratio exceeds a certain amount, the interest on the Senior Notes may increase by 75 basis points. 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 $894.5 million to convert the variable rate interest based liabilities associated with a corresponding amount of our debt into fixed interest rate liabilities, leaving $2.59 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 is disclosed in further detail in Note 17- Commitments and Contingencies and Derivative Financial Instruments.
For the three months ended December 30, 2022, our weighted average borrowings that are subject to floating rate exposure were approximately $2.81 billion. If floating interest rates had increased by 1.00%, our interest expense for the three months ended December 30, 2022 would have increased by approximately $7.0 million.
Foreign Currency Risk
In situations where the Company incurs costs in currencies other than our functional currency, we sometimes enter into foreign exchange contracts 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 has $382.5 million in notional value of exchange rate sensitive instruments at December 30, 2022. See Note 17- Commitments and Contingencies and Derivative Financial Instruments for discussion.

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 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 Exchange Act defined above, as of December 30, 2022, 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 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 SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes to 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 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

No repurchase activity has taken place under the 2023 Share Repurchase Authorization to date.
Our share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to purchase any shares. Share repurchases may be executed through various means including, without limitation, accelerated share repurchases, open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, purchases pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 plans or otherwise. The authorization for the share repurchase programs may be terminated, increased or decreased by the Company’s Board of Directors in its discretion at any time. The timing, amount and manner of share repurchases may depend upon market conditions and economic circumstances, availability of investment opportunities, the availability and costs of financing, currency fluctuations, the market price of the Company's common stock, other uses of capital and other factors.
