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 June 30, 2023, and for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023.
Our interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.
On May 9, 2023, the Company announced its intention to separate its Critical Mission Solutions ("CMS") business, resulting in two independent publicly traded companies. Jacobs expects to complete the separation in fiscal 2024 through a distribution to Jacobs' stockholders that is intended to be tax-free to Jacobs’ stockholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes. There can be no assurances with respect to the timing or form of a separation transaction and completion remains subject to final approval by Jacobs’ Board of Directors and other customary conditions. As of June 30, 2023, and the three and nine months then ended, Critical Mission Solutions continues to be presented in continuing operations.
As part of the new Company strategy, during the first quarter of fiscal year 2023, Jacobs formed a reporting and operating segment, Divergent Solutions ("DVS"), to further strengthen our ability to drive value for our clients (the "DVS segment reorganization"). DVS supports both lines of business as the core foundation for developing and delivering innovative, next-generation cloud, cyber, data and digital technologies. For a further discussion of our segment information, please refer to Note 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 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.

JACOBS SOLUTIONS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
The net carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and payables and 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 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 and nine months ended June 30, 2023 and July 1, 2022 (in thousands):

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

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 common stock, to expire on January 25, 2026 (the "2023 Repurchase Authorization"). At June 30, 2023, the Company has $875.0 million remaining under the 2023 Repurchase Authorization.
The following table summarizes repurchase activity under the 2020 Repurchase Authorization during fiscal year 2023 through expiration during the second fiscal quarter of 2023:

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 July 6, 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 August 25, 2023, to shareholders of record on the close of business on July 28, 2023.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

JACOBS SOLUTIONS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
The Company is party to interest rate swap agreements and a cross-currency swap agreement with notional values of $778.9 million and $127.8 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2023 to manage the interest rate exposure on our variable rate loans and the foreign currency exposure on our USD borrowings by a European subsidiary. By entering into the swap agreements, the Company converted the LIBOR and SONIA rate based liabilities into fixed rate liabilities and, for the cross currency swap, our LIBOR rate based borrowing in USD to a fixed rate Euro liability, for periods ranging from three and a half to ten years. During the second quarter of fiscal 2023, the aggregate liability amounts denominated in U.S. dollars transitioned from underlying LIBOR benchmarked rates to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") and the terms of the swaps were amended accordingly. The swaps were designated as cash-flow hedges in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The fair value of the interest rate and cross currency swaps at June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 was $107.4 million and $128.2 million, respectively, which is included in miscellaneous other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The unrealized net gain (loss) on these interest rate and cross currency swaps was $81.5 million and $87.5 million, net of tax, and was included in accumulated other comprehensive income as of June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively.
Additionally, the Company held foreign exchange forward contracts in currencies that support our operations, including British Pound, Euro, Australian Dollar and other currencies, with notional values of $829.3 million at June 30, 2023 and $298.2 million at September 30, 2022. The length of these contracts currently ranges from one week to 12 months. The fair value of the foreign exchange contracts at June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 was $15.9 million and $(3.2) million, respectively, which is included within receivables and contract assets for the 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 June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, the Company had issued and outstanding approximately $326.2 million and $280.5 million, respectively, in LOCs and $2.0 billion and $2.2 billion, respectively, in surety bonds.
We maintain insurance coverage for most insurable aspects of our business and operations. Our insurance programs have varying coverage limits depending upon the type of insurance and include 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,

Page 30

JACOBS SOLUTIONS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
most states within the United States, as well as by various government agencies representing jurisdictions outside the United States.
Our Consolidated Balance Sheets include amounts representing our probable estimated liability relating to such claims, guarantees, litigation, audits, and investigations. We perform an analysis to determine the level of reserves to establish for insurance-related claims that are known and have been asserted against us, as well as for insurance-related claims that are believed to have been incurred based on actuarial analysis but have not yet been reported to our claims administrators as of the respective balance sheet dates. We include any adjustments to such insurance reserves in our consolidated results of operations. Insurance recoveries are recorded as assets if recovery is probable and estimated liabilities are not reduced by expected insurance recoveries.
The Company believes, after consultation with counsel, that such guarantees, litigation, U.S. government contract-related audits, investigations and claims, and income tax audits and investigations should not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements, beyond amounts currently accrued.
Litigation and Investigations
In 2012, CH2M HILL Australia PTY Limited, a subsidiary of CH2M, entered into a 50/50 integrated joint venture with Australian construction contractor UGL Infrastructure Pty Limited. The joint venture entered into a Consortium Agreement with General Electric and GE Electrical International Inc. The Consortium was awarded a subcontract by JKC Australia LNG Pty Limited ("JKC") for the engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning of a 360 MW Combined Cycle Power Plant for INPEX Operations Australia Pty Limited at Blaydin Point, Darwin, NT, Australia (the "Legacy CH2M Matter"). The subcontract was terminated in January 2017. In or around August 2017, the Consortium commenced an arbitration. On April 12, 2022, JKC and the Consortium entered into a confidential deed of settlement (“Settlement Agreement”). Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, CH2M, as guarantor of CH2M Australia PTY Limited’s obligations with respect to the subcontract with JKC, made a cash payment to JKC in April 2022 of AUD 640 million (or approximately $475 million using mid-April 2022 exchange rates). As a result of the settlement agreement, additional pre-tax charges of $91.3 million were recorded during the second quarter of fiscal 2022 for this matter (over amounts previously reserved and reported in long-term Other Deferred Liabilities in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet). The Settlement Agreement provided for a release of claims between JKC and each member of the Consortium, and in connection with this agreement the members of the Consortium also waived all claims against each other and their respective parent guarantors relating to the project.
On December 22, 2008, a coal fly ash pond at the Kingston Power Plant of the Tennessee Valley Authority ("TVA") was breached, releasing fly ash waste into the Emory River and surrounding community. In February 2009, TVA awarded a contract to the Company to provide project management services associated with the clean-up. All remediation and dredging were completed in August 2013 by other contractors under direct contracts with TVA. The Company did not perform the remediation, and its scope was limited to program management services. Certain employees of the contractors performing the cleanup work on the project filed lawsuits against the Company beginning in August 2013, alleging they were injured due to the Company's failure to protect the plaintiffs from exposure to fly ash, and asserting related personal injuries. The primary case, Greg Adkisson, et al. v. Jacobs Engineering Group Inc., case No. 3:13-CV-505-TAV-HBG, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee, consisted of 10 consolidated cases. This case and the related cases involved several hundred plaintiffs that were employees of the contractors that completed the remediation and dredging work. In the second fiscal quarter of 2023, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the plaintiffs whose cases had not been previously dismissed. As of the third fiscal quarter of 2023, all conditions to the settlement have been satisfied, and the cases have been dismissed. The amount of the settlement was not material to the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
18.    Segment Information
During the first quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company reorganized its operating and reporting structure to report results under a new operating segment, Divergent Solutions, in addition to the current operating segments. The Company's four operating segments are 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 P&PS 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

Page 31

JACOBS SOLUTIONS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
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).

(1)
Other corporate expenses included intangibles amortization of $52.0 million and $51.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and July 1, 2022, respectively, and $152.2 million and $146.9 million, for the nine months ended June 30, 2023 and July 1, 2022, respectively. Additionally, the nine month period of fiscal 2023 included approximately $15.0 million in net favorable impacts from cost reductions compared to the prior year period, which was associated mainly with net favorable impacts during first quarter from changes in employee benefit programs of $41 million offset by approximately $26 million in higher spend in company technology platforms and other personnel and corporate cost increases.
(2)
The three and nine months ended June 30, 2023 included $17.2 million in restructuring and other charges relating to the Company's investment in PA Consulting (primarily employee separation costs) and $13.4 million relating to the separation activities (mainly professional services) around the CMS separation, and the nine months ended June 30, 2023 and July 1, 2022 included $38.1 million and $74.6 million, respectively in real estate impairment charges relating to the Company's transformation initiatives. Also included in the nine months ended July 1, 2022 is $91.3 million related to the final pre-tax settlement of the Legacy CH2M Matter, net of previously recorded reserves.
(3)
The three and nine month periods ended July 1, 2022 included a $13.9 million gain related to a cost method investment sold during the period. The nine months ended July 1, 2022 included $3.5 million in income associated with final exit activities associated with our AWE ML investment and a gain of $7.1 million related to a lease termination. Additionally, the unfavorable change in Other Expense, net for the periods presented are attributable mainly to higher net interest expense year over year, primarily due to higher interest rates as well as the full 2023 period impacts of increased levels of debt outstanding due to fiscal 2022 incremental borrowings associated with the funding of the StreetLight and BlackLynx acquisitions and the payment of the Legacy CH2M Matter settlement.
(1)Included in other corporate expenses in the above table are costs and expenses, which relate to general corporate activities as well as corporate-managed benefit and insurance programs. Such costs and expenses include: (i) those elements of SG&A expenses relating to the business as a whole; (ii) those elements of our incentive compensation plans relating to corporate personnel whose other compensation costs are not allocated to the LOBs; (iii) the amortization of intangible assets acquired as part of 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.

Item 2.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
General
The purpose of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is to provide a narrative analysis explaining the reasons for material changes in the Company’s (i) financial condition from the most recent fiscal year-end to June 30, 2023 and (ii) results of operations during the current fiscal period(s) as compared to the corresponding period(s) of the preceding fiscal year. In order to better understand such changes, readers of this MD&A should also read:
The discussion of the critical and significant accounting policies used by the Company in preparing its consolidated financial statements. The most current discussion of our critical accounting policies appears in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our 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,” "target," "goal" and similar words are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our expectations as to our future growth, prospects, financial outlook and business strategy, including our expectations for the percentage of backlog we will realize as revenue in fiscal year 2023, the anticipated benefits of any acquisition or the strategic investment in PA Consulting, our plans to separate the Critical Missions Solutions ("CMS") business through a spin-off that is intended to be tax-free to stockholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the description of the CMS business following the separation, the timing of completion for the separation, and the perceived benefits for both Jacobs and CMS to be derived from the separation. Although such statements are based on management’s current estimates and expectations, and/or currently available competitive, financial, and economic data, forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain, and you should not place undue reliance on such statements as actual results may differ materially. We caution the reader that there are a variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from what is contained, projected or implied by our forward-looking statements. Such factors include uncertainties as to the final structure and timing of the separation of the CMS business, including with respect to the scope of the businesses to be separated or retained by the Company, the possibility that closing conditions for a separation transaction may not be satisfied or waived, the impact of the separation on the Company’s and CMS’s businesses and a possible decrease in the trading price of their shares, if the separation is completed, the possibility that the separation may not qualify for the expected tax treatment, the risk that any consents or approvals required in connection with the separation may not be received, the risk that the separation may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected, and the possibility that we may not retain key employees while the separation is pending or after it is completed, as well as factors related to our business, such as our ability to fully execute on our three-year corporate strategy, including our ability to invest in the tools needed to 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 any pandemic, and any resulting economic downturn on our results, prospects and opportunities, measures or restrictions imposed by governments and health officials in response to the 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, any changes in U.S. or foreign tax laws, statutes, rules, regulations or ordinances that may adversely impact our future financial positions or results of operations, 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 current banking crisis, 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 possibility that we will not complete the spin-off or any separation transaction or that the transaction will occur on terms or conditions that are different or less favorable than expected; the possible reduction in demand for certain of our product solutions and services and the delay or abandonment of ongoing or anticipated projects due to the financial condition of our clients and suppliers or to governmental budget constraints or changes to governmental budgetary

Page 34


priorities; the inability of our clients to meet their payment obligations in a timely manner or at all; potential issues and risks related to a significant portion of our employees working remotely; illness, travel restrictions and other workforce disruptions that have and could continue to negatively affect our supply chain and our ability to timely and satisfactorily complete our clients’ projects; difficulties associated with retaining and hiring additional employees; and the inability of governments in certain of the countries in which we operate to effectively mitigate the financial or other impacts of a pandemic on their economies and workforces and our operations therein. The foregoing factors and potential future developments are inherently uncertain, unpredictable and, in many cases, beyond our control. For a description of these and additional factors that may occur that could cause actual results to differ from our forward-looking statements, see those listed and discussed in Item 1A, Risk Factors included in our 2022 Form 10-K and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We undertake no obligation to release publicly any revisions or updates to any forward-looking statements. We encourage you to read carefully the risk factors, as well as the financial and business disclosures contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in other documents we file from time to time with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").
Business Overview
At Jacobs, we’re challenging today to reinvent tomorrow by solving the world’s most critical problems for thriving cities, resilient environments, mission-critical outcomes, operational advancement, scientific discovery and cutting-edge manufacturing, turning abstract ideas into realities that transform the world for good. Leveraging a talent force of more than 60,000, Jacobs provides a full spectrum of professional services including consulting, technical, engineering, scientific and project delivery for the government and private sectors.
Our previous three-year corporate strategy launched at our Investor Day in February 2019 focused on innovation and continued transformation to build upon our position as the leading solutions provider for our clients. Setting the wheels in motion for our current path, this transformation included acquiring a 65% stake in PA Consulting Group Limited ("PA Consulting") in fiscal year 2021. Acquisitions of John Wood Group’s nuclear business, The Buffalo Group and most recently BlackLynx and StreetLight further position us as a leader in high-value government services and technology-enabled solutions.
Our Boldly Moving Forward strategy announced in March of 2022 provides Jacobs with a robust focus into 2025 – continuing our aggressive shift to create a fully inclusive, technology-forward company – producing the critical solutions of tomorrow. We are united by our purpose and recognize that the keys to success in the future will be different from those of today. We need to remain agile and focus on where our clients need us most, address major challenges such as global constraints on labor, and fully leverage data and technology. By shaping our future, we will produce outsized results. Starting in March of 2021, we took a deep dive into global trends, capabilities, and markets to understand the largest opportunities, their projected spend and their growth rates. The conclusion of this strategic review reinforced that our decades of deep domain expertise and capabilities squarely align with the most attractive markets. This puts us in a unique position – and creates a great opportunity – to further strengthen our competitive advantage across our core sectors by accelerating the development and scaling of differentiated products and solutions. To provide focus and enable success, we have concentrated our strategy to zero in on three needle-moving accelerators that catalyze additional growth across all markets:
Climate Response
As a purpose-led company, we know we have a pivotal role to play in addressing the climate emergency in collaboration with our clients, our employees and our entire stakeholder base. We consider this not only good business, but our duty to channel our technology-enabled expertise and capabilities toward benefiting people and the planet.
Data Solutions
As our clients navigate the digital transformation and growing cyber risks, we have positioned ourselves at the forefront of this growth, adding digital capabilities, products and tools to serve a growing set of customers.
Consulting and Advisory
Together with our visionary partner, PA Consulting, we're establishing our position in high-end advisory services, creating a springboard to expand in high value offerings beyond the core.
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 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 and Nine Months Ended June 30, 2023
Net earnings attributable to the Company from continuing operations for the third fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2023 were $163.9 million (or $1.29 per diluted share), a decrease of $32.4 million, from net earnings of $196.3 million (or $1.52 per diluted share) for the corresponding period last year. Higher year over year underlying operating performance in the third fiscal quarter of 2023 was impacted by $25.0 million higher pre-tax Restructuring and other charges and transaction costs compared to the same fiscal quarter of 2022, with this increase due primarily to PA Consulting restructuring program charges (primarily employee separation costs) and CMS separation expenses (mainly professional services), which is discussed in Note 16- Restructuring and Other Charges. Third quarter fiscal 2023 other expense, net, was $43.1 million, an increase of $49.4 million versus third quarter fiscal 2022 income of $6.4 million, with the current period primarily impacted by unfavorable higher net interest expense, unfavorable currency exchange gains and losses and higher pension costs compared to the prior year quarter, as discussed further below, with fiscal 2022 benefiting from a $13.9 million pre-tax gain related to a cost method investment sold during the period. Further, our reported net earnings for the current year quarter were favorably impacted by lower income taxes of $5.3 million compared to the fiscal 2022 period, attributable to lower earnings before taxes offset by a higher effective tax rate in the current quarter. Finally, net earnings attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests were $7.2 million lower for the quarter-to-date period due to lower net after-tax earnings results in our PA Consulting investment compared to the prior year.
For the nine months ended June 30, 2023, net earnings attributable to the Company from continuing operations were $516.9 million (or $4.06 per diluted share), an increase of $97.5 million, from net earnings of $419.4 million (or $3.23 per diluted share) for the corresponding period last year. Operating profit levels were up more significantly for the respective year-to-date periods of fiscal 2023 (mainly in P&PS), and were also impacted by the Restructuring and other charges and transactions costs activities mentioned above relating to real estate transformation, the fiscal 2023 PA Consulting and CMS separation related items and the final fiscal 2022 $91.3 million settlement of a legacy litigation matter involving a subsidiary of CH2M (the "Legacy CH2M Matter"), net of previously recorded reserves, which is further discussed in Note 17- Commitments and Contingencies and Derivative Financial Instruments. Additionally, the 2023 year-to-date period was impacted by approximately $15.0 million in net favorable impacts from cost reductions associated mainly with first quarter 2023 changes in employee benefit programs, which were partly offset by higher spend in company technology platforms and other personnel and corporate cost increases. Also, year-to-date fiscal 2023 other expense, net, of $120.9 million was higher by $108.1 million versus the same period in fiscal 2022 amounts of $12.8 million, with the current period impacted by the same unfavorable higher net interest expense, unfavorable currency exchange gains and losses and higher pension costs, with fiscal 2022 benefiting from the cost method investment sold mentioned above. Finally, net earnings attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests were $14.0 million lower for the year-to-date period due to lower net after-tax earnings results in our PA Consulting investment compared to the prior year.
On May 9, 2023, the Company announced its intention to separate its CMS business into an independent publicly traded company. For further discussion, see Note 1- Basis of Presentation.
On February 4, 2022, the Company acquired StreetLight Data, Inc., ("StreetLight"). For further discussion, see Note 15- Other Business Combinations.
Consolidated Results of Operations
Revenues for the third fiscal quarter of 2023 were $4.19 billion, an increase of $359.6 million, or 9.4%, from $3.83 billion for the corresponding period last year. For the nine months ended June 30, 2023, revenues were $12.06 billion, an increase of $1.02 billion, or 9.3%, from $11.04 billion for the corresponding period last year. Revenue increases for the year over year periods were due mainly to the Company's P&PS and CMS legacy businesses and in addition, to a smaller degree, other increases in our DVS and PA Consulting businesses. The P&PS business benefited primarily from stronger performance in its Advanced Facilities and U.S. business operations. Our CMS business benefited from increased spending in our U.S. government business sector, which was primarily attributable to fiscal 2022 contract awards for the U.S. Department of Energy. Also, revenue was unfavorably impacted by foreign currency translation of $12.4 million and $279.0 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, across our international businesses, as compared to an unfavorable $130.1 million and $176.8 million for the three and nine months ended July 1, 2022, respectively. Pass-through revenues for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023 amounted to $804.1 million and $2.23 billion, an increase of $124.3 million and $433.5 million, or 18.3% and 24.1%, respectively, from $679.7 million and $1.80 billion from the corresponding periods last year. Pass-through revenues for the prior periods presented include certain minor adjustments to properly reflect amounts that had not been previously included and conform with the fiscal 2023 amounts presented.

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

Page 40


The Company's effective tax rates from continuing operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2023 and July 1, 2022 were 18.2% and 20.4%, respectively. The primary differences between the statutory U.S. federal corporate tax rate of 21.0% and the Company’s effective tax rate for the nine months ended June 30, 2023 were related to net tax benefits of $39.4 million mostly related to uncertain tax positions in the U.S. that were effectively settled, of which $30.8 million related to positions carried forward from the fiscal 2018 acquisition of CH2M Hill Companies Ltd., as well as a tax benefit of $12.1 million for the release of previously valued foreign tax credits. These benefits were partly offset by U.S. state income tax expense of $15.8 million and U.S. tax on foreign earnings of $13.6 million. For the nine months ended July 1, 2022, the main differences were associated with tax benefits of $15.4 million for the release of previously valued foreign tax credits, $9.1 million related to the reversal of a withholding tax accrual on certain intercompany loans, and $4.9 million from filing amended state tax returns. These benefits were partly offset by U.S. state income tax expense of $17.4 million and U.S. tax on foreign earnings of $9.3 million.

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

Restructuring and Other Charges

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

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

During third quarter fiscal 2023, the Company approved a plan to improve business processes and cost structure of our PA Consulting investment by reorganizing senior management and reducing headcount. In connection with these initiatives, the Company incurred approximately $17 million in pre-tax charges during the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2023, which are expected to be settled in cash by the end of the fiscal year. These activities, which are expected to be substantially completed before the end of fiscal 2023, are expected to result in estimated gross annualized pre-tax cash savings of approximately $40 million to $50 million.

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

Critical Mission Solutions segment revenues for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023 were $1.19 billion and $3.46 billion, respectively, an increase of $81.8 million and $236.9 million, or 7.4% and 7.4%, from $1.11 billion and $3.22 billion for the corresponding periods last year. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023, revenue benefited from new contracts in the nuclear remediation sector as well across multiple markets in the U.S. and United Kingdom. Also, impacts on revenues from unfavorable foreign currency translation were approximately $2.9 million and $61.5 million for the three and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2023, compared to $26.7 million and $34.6 million in unfavorable impacts in the corresponding prior year periods.
Operating profit for the segment was $99.1 million and $275.3 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023, which was an increase of $10.8 million, or 12.2%, from $88.3 million for the quarter-to-date period compared to the prior year and relatively flat compared to the year-to-date period last year. Operating profit level trends for the year over year quarterly periods were favorably impacted by growth in the nuclear remediation market, U.S. government space market and international defense market, and for the year to date period, were offset in part by large contract wind downs in early fiscal 2022 that carried higher profit margins. Impacts on operating profit from unfavorable foreign currency translation were approximately $0.2 million and $7.4 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to unfavorable foreign currency translation of approximately $3.9 million and $5.0 million for the three and nine months ended July 1, 2022, respectively.
On May 9, 2023, the Company announced its intention to separate its CMS business, resulting in two independent publicly traded companies. Jacobs is targeting to complete the separation in fiscal 2024 through a distribution to Jacobs' stockholders that is intended to be tax-free to Jacobs’ shareholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes. There can be no assurances with respect to the timing or form of a separation transaction and completion remains subject to final approval by Jacobs’ Board of Directors and other customary conditions.

Revenues for the People & Places Solutions segment for the three and nine-months ended June 30, 2023 were $2.47 billion and $7.04 billion, respectively, an increase of $247.2 million and $735.2 million, or 11.1% and 11.7%, from $2.22 billion and $6.31 billion for the corresponding periods last year. The increases in revenue for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023 were primarily driven by growth in our advanced facilities, U.S. and Asia Pacific and Middle East businesses as compared to the corresponding prior year periods. Foreign currency translation had $10.1 million and $144.6 million in unfavorable impacts on revenues in our international businesses for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to unfavorable impacts of $69.1 million and $103.7 million in the corresponding prior year periods.
Operating profit for the segment for the three and nine month period ended June 30, 2023 was $242.7 million and $701.5 million, respectively, an increase of $28.7 million and $106.0 million, or 13.4% and 17.8%, from $213.9 million and $595.5 million for the corresponding periods last year. The year-over-year increases in operating profit for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023 were driven primarily by the revenue growth mentioned above while holding selling, general and administrative expenses relatively flat. Foreign currency translation had a $3.4 million and $28.7 million unfavorable impact on operating profit in our international businesses for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2023, respectively as compared to unfavorable impacts of $11.9 million and $18.7 million in the corresponding prior year periods.

Operating Profit$20,794 $12,093 $57,623 $52,256 
Revenues for the Divergent Solutions segment for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023 were $239.3 million and $695.0 million, respectively, an increase of $21.3 million and $44.9 million, or 9.8% and 6.9%, from $217.9 million and $650.1 million for the corresponding periods last year. The increases in revenue for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023 were due mainly to favorable year over year software licensing revenue and the startup of new programs previously won in fiscal 2022. Also the year-to-date period benefited from incremental revenues from the StreetLight acquisition (owned for the full period in fiscal 2023). Foreign currency translation impacts on revenue were not significant for the periods presented.
Operating profit for the segment was $20.8 million and $57.6 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $8.7 million and $5.4 million, or 72.0% and 10.3%, from $12.1 million and $52.3 million for the corresponding periods last year. The increases in operating profit for the three and nine month periods were due mainly to favorable year over year software licensing, and for the year-to-date period, slightly offset by unfavorable impacts from overhead billing rate differences during the first quarter of 2023 versus the prior year first quarter mainly in our cyber intelligence business. Impacts on operating profit from foreign currency were not significant for the periods presented.

Operating Profit$60,864 $51,448 $177,521 $182,850 

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

Operating profit for the segment for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023 was $60.9 million and $177.5 million, respectively, an increase of $9.4 million and a decrease of $5.3 million, or 18.3% and (2.9)%, from $51.4 million and $182.9 million, for the corresponding periods last year. The increase for the quarter to date period is mainly due to lower incentive costs and includes immaterial impacts from foreign currency in our international business, while the decrease for the year to date period is mainly due to unfavorable foreign currency translation impacts of $12.3 million, as compared to $6.7 million and $8.1 million in unfavorable impact in the corresponding prior year periods. Additionally, operating profit was impacted in the current year period by higher labor costs due to a competitive labor market and lower utilization.
    
Other Corporate Expenses
Other corporate expenses for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023 were $118.5 million and $319.8 million, an increase of $28.6 million and $35.3 million, or 31.8% and 12.4%, from $89.9 million and $284.5 million for the corresponding periods last year. The increase for the three month period ended June 30, 2023 was primarily driven by continued higher investments in company technology platforms and higher incentive and other compensation charges.

Page 44


The increase for the year-to-date period was attributable to these higher technology and personnel costs in the third quarter offset by approximately $15.0 million in net favorable impacts during first quarter 2023 from cost reductions associated mainly with changes in employee benefit programs, partly offset by higher spend in company technology platforms and other personnel and corporate cost increases.
Included in other corporate expenses 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.
Backlog Information
Backlog represents revenue we expect to realize for work to be completed by our consolidated subsidiaries and our proportionate share of work to be performed by unconsolidated joint ventures. Because of variations in the nature, size, expected duration, funding commitments, and the scope of services required by our contracts, the amount and timing of when backlog will be recognized as revenues includes significant estimates and can vary greatly between individual contracts.
Consistent with industry practice, substantially all of our contracts are subject to cancellation or termination at the option of the client, 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.

Page 45


The following table summarizes our backlog at June 30, 2023 and July 1, 2022 (in millions):
June 30, 2023July 1, 2022
Critical Mission Solutions$8,097 $7,218 
People & Places Solutions17,498 17,527 
Divergent Solutions2,965 3,019 
PA Consulting355 326 
            Total$28,915 $28,090 


The increase in backlog in Critical Mission Solutions from July 1, 2022 was primarily driven by new business awards in the U.S. government space sector along with growth in the U.K. defence, nuclear power, and nuclear remediation sectors that offset slower growth in the U.S. Defense market.
Backlog levels in People & Places Solutions and Divergent Solutions remained consistent year-over-year.
The increase in backlog in PA Consulting from July 1, 2022 was primarily driven by strategic focus on long-term projects as well as organic year over year growth of the business.
Consolidated backlog differs from the Company’s remaining performance obligations as defined by ASC 606 primarily because of contract change orders or new wins not yet processed and our national government contracts where our policy is to generally include in backlog the contract award, whether funded or unfunded excluding certain option periods while our remaining performance obligations represent a measure of the total dollar value of work to be performed on contracts awarded and in progress. Additionally, the Company does not include our proportionate share of backlog related to unconsolidated joint ventures in our remaining performance obligations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At June 30, 2023, our principal sources of liquidity consisted of $1.09 billion in cash and cash equivalents and $1.44 billion 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.
Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2023 were $1.09 billion, representing a decrease of $48.4 million from $1.14 billion at September 30, 2022, the reasons for which are described below.
Our net cash flow provided by operations of $755.4 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2023 was favorable by $558.2 million in comparison to the cash flow provided by operations of $197.2 million for the corresponding prior year period. The year-over-year increase in cash from operations is primarily attributable to the payment of the Legacy CH2M Matter cash settlement in the third fiscal quarter of 2022 and also included other overall net favorable working capital performance during the 2023 period.
Our net cash used for investing activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2023 was $106.4 million, compared to cash used for investing activities of $491.2 million in the corresponding prior year period, with this change due primarily to the BlackLynx and StreetLight acquisitions in the prior year.
Our net cash used for financing activities of $770.3 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2023 resulted mainly from $338.6 million in net repayments of borrowings, cash used for share repurchases of $265.6 million, $55.7 million in net PA Consulting related redeemable noncontrolling interests purchase and issuance activity and $95.7 million in dividends to shareholders. Cash provided by financing activities in the corresponding prior year period was $461.8 million, due primarily to net proceeds from borrowings of $799.2 million, offset by cash used for share repurchases of $250.7 million and $86.6 million in dividends to shareholders.
At June 30, 2023, the Company had approximately $194.3 million in cash and cash equivalents held in the U.S. and $897.8 million held outside of the U.S. (primarily in the U.K., the Eurozone, Australia, India, Canada, Saudi Arabia 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 7- 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.

Page 46


The Company had $326.2 million in letters of credit outstanding at June 30, 2023. Of this amount, $0.9 million was issued under the Revolving Credit Facility and $325.3 million was issued under separate, committed and uncommitted letter-of-credit facilities.
On May 9, 2023, the Company announced its intention to separate its CMS business, resulting in two independent publicly traded companies. Jacobs expects to complete the separation in fiscal 2024 through a distribution to Jacobs' stockholders that is intended to be tax-free to Jacobs’ stockholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes. There can be no assurances with respect to the timing or form of a separation transaction and completion remains subject to final approval by Jacobs’ Board of Directors and other customary conditions.
On February 6, 2023, the Company refinanced its Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan Facilities and on February 16, the Company issued $500.0 million in Bonds (defined below). See Note 11- Borrowings for further discussion relating to the terms of the Bonds, the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan Facilities following the issuance and refinancing.
On February 4, 2022, the Company acquired StreetLight Data, Inc. ("StreetLight"). StreetLight is a pioneer of mobility analytics who uses its data and machine learning resources to shed light on mobility and enable users to solve complex transportation problems. The Company paid total base consideration of approximately $190.8 million in cash, and issued $0.9 million in equity and $5.2 million in in-the-money stock options to the former owners of StreetLight. The Company also paid off StreetLight's debt of approximately $1.0 million simultaneously with the consummation of the acquisition.
On November 19, 2021, Jacobs acquired all outstanding shares of common stock of BlackLynx, a provider of high-performance software, to complement Jacobs' portfolio of cyber, intelligence and digital solutions. The Company paid total base consideration of approximately $235.4 million in cash to the former owners of BlackLynx. In conjunction with the acquisition, the Company also paid off BlackLynx's debt of approximately $5.3 million simultaneously with the consummation of the acquisition.
We believe we have adequate liquidity and capital resources to fund our 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 June 30, 2023.

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 June 30, 2023, we had an aggregate of $2.71 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 SOFR rate plus a margin of between 0.975% and 1.725% 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 0.908% and 1.658%. Additionally, our Revolving Credit Facility, Term Loan Facilities and the Bonds have interest rates subject to potential increases relating to certain ESG metrics as stipulated in the related agreements and as discussed in Note 11- Borrowings.
However, as discussed in Note 17- Commitments and Contingencies and Derivative Financial Instruments, we are party to swap agreements with an aggregate notional value of $906.7 million to convert the variable rate interest based liabilities associated with a corresponding amount of our debt into fixed interest rate liabilities, leaving $1.80 billion in principal amount subject to variable interest rate risk. Additionally, during fiscal 2022, we entered into two treasury lock arrangements with an aggregate notional value of $500.0 million, which were settled in second quarter fiscal 2023, and are disclosed in further detail in Note 17- Commitments and Contingencies and Derivative Financial Instruments.
For the nine months ended June 30, 2023, our weighted average borrowings that are subject to floating rate exposure were approximately $2.40 billion. If floating interest rates had increased by 1.00%, our interest expense for the nine months ended June 30, 2023 would have increased by approximately $18.0 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 $829.3 million in notional value of exchange rate sensitive instruments at June 30, 2023. See Note 17- Commitments and Contingencies and Derivative Financial Instruments for discussion.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are those controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The Company’s management, with the participation of its 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 June 30, 2023, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management, with the participation of the 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 June 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

There were no repurchases of the Company’s common stock made during the third quarter of fiscal 2023 under the 2020 Share 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.
