Booz Allen's Civil and Commercial revenue fell in the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2026.[1] The 15% decline helped pull total revenue down 3.9%.[1]

National Security's reported revenue rose 0.6% to $2.076 billion.[1] Booz Allen now groups defense and intelligence customers in that line, with prior periods presented on the same basis.[1] On the company's measure excluding billable expenses, National Security revenue grew 5.9%.[2] First-half payments for business acquisitions and dispositions, net of cash acquired, totaled $934 million; the results release and presentation do not separate acquired revenue.[1][2]

Management attributed the overall revenue decline primarily to a slowed procurement environment in the prior year that led to a slower start to programs this year, predominantly from civil customers.[2] Headcount fell to 31,000 from 32,500 a year earlier.[1]

## Why it matters

Booz Allen narrowed fiscal 2027 revenue guidance while retaining its earlier midpoint, following a 4.1% first-half revenue decline.[1] Meeting that outlook requires about $5.72 billion to $6.02 billion in second-half revenue.[1]
