Did BAH Beat Earnings? Q4 2025 Results

Booz Allen Hamilton closed out fiscal 2025 with a narrow quarterly miss on both top and bottom lines, even as the company capped off an ambitious three-year strategic period with results that exceeded its own long-term targets. For Q4 fiscal 2025, the defense and government consulting firm posted earnings per share of $1.61, falling just short of the $1.61 consensus estimate by 0.27%, while revenue of $2.97 billion trailed the $3.03 billion consensus by 1.96%, though it still represented 7.3% growth year-over-year. The standout driver behind the quarter was strength in Defense, where revenue climbed from $1.34 billion to $1.53 billion, offsetting modest gains in Intelligence and a flat Civil segment. Net income surged 50.8% to $193.00 million, aided by a $13.00 million investment gain and favorable tax comparisons. Looking ahead, the company guided fiscal 2026 revenue of $12.00 billion to $12.50 billion, reflecting 0-4% growth, a tempered outlook the company itself framed as resetting its business amid a shifting government spending environment.

Key Takeaways
  • Strong demand for solutions, outcomes, and services across defense and intelligence markets
  • Increase in headcount to meet demand
  • Higher billable expenses
  • Ongoing cost management efforts
  • Favorable year-over-year tax comparisons due to prior-year discrete non-recurring state tax matters
  • $13 million gain on sale of an investment in Q4 FY25
  • Reduction to provision for claimed costs of $113 million in FY25
  • $115 million in insurance recoveries in FY25
