Performance Overview
For the quarter ended May 3, 2024, SAIC reported revenues of $1.85 billion, reflecting a 9% decrease from the $2.03 billion reported in the same period last year.

Adjusted EBITDA was $166 million, representing 9.0% of revenues, compared to $189 million or 9.3% of revenues in the previous year.
