Leidos Holdings, a US-based defense, intelligence, and civil services company, reported revenue of approximately $14.4 billion in fiscal year 2022 (ended December 30, 2022) with over 44,000 employees. The company manages hundreds of concurrent government programs across three segments: Defense Solutions, Health, and Civil. Government services margins are structurally constrained by contract type — cost-plus contracts (government reimburses costs plus a negotiated fee of 5-10%) cap upside, while fixed-price contracts offer 10-15% margins but carry execution risk. Leidos's margin improvement opportunity lay in shifting its contract mix toward higher-margin work and improving program execution to reduce cost overruns on fixed-price engagements. Total backlog stood at $35.8 billion at the end of FY2022, of which $8.4 billion was funded — a record at the time.
Leidos pursued a two-pronged strategy of winning higher-value digital modernization contracts and improving program execution across its portfolio:
