Non-GAAP Financial Information
“Revenue, Excluding Billable Expenses” represents revenue less billable expenses. Booz Allen uses Revenue, Excluding Billable Expenses because it provides management useful information about the company's operating performance by excluding the impact of costs that are not indicative of the level of productivity of its consulting staff headcount and its overall direct labor, which management believes provides useful information to its investors about its core operations.
“Adjusted Operating Income” represents Operating Income before: (i) adjustments related to the amortization of intangible assets resulting from the acquisition of our Company by The Carlyle Group, and (ii) transaction costs, fees, losses, and expenses, including fees associated with debt prepayments. Booz Allen prepares Adjusted Operating Income to eliminate the impact of items it does not consider indicative of ongoing operating performance due to their inherent unusual, extraordinary or non-recurring nature or because they result from an event of a similar nature.
“Adjusted EBITDA” represents net income before income taxes, net interest and other expense and depreciation and amortization and before certain other items, including transaction costs, fees, losses, and expenses, including fees associated with debt prepayments. “Adjusted EBITDA Margin” is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. Booz Allen prepares Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin to eliminate the impact of items it does not consider indicative of ongoing operating performance due to their inherent unusual, extraordinary or non-recurring nature or because they result from an event of a similar nature.
“Adjusted Net Income” represents net income before: (i) adjustments related to the amortization of intangible assets resulting from the acquisition of our Company by The Carlyle Group, (ii) transaction costs, fees, losses, and expenses, including fees associated with debt prepayments, and (iii) amortization or write-off of debt issuance costs and write-off of original issue discount, net of the tax effect where appropriate calculated using an assumed effective tax rate. Booz Allen prepares Adjusted Net Income to eliminate the impact of items, net of taxes, it does not consider indicative of ongoing operating performance due to their inherent unusual, extraordinary or non-recurring nature or because they result from an event of a similar nature.
“Adjusted Diluted EPS” represents diluted EPS calculated using Adjusted Net Income as opposed to Net Income. Additionally, Adjusted Diluted EPS does not contemplate any adjustments to net income as required under the two-class method of calculating EPS as required in accordance with GAAP.
“Free Cash Flow” represents the net cash generated from operating activities less the impact of purchases of property and equipment.
Booz Allen utilizes and discusses in this release Revenue, Excluding Billable Expenses, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted EPS because management uses these measures for business planning purposes, including managing its business against internal projected results of operations and measuring its performance. Management views Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted EPS as measures of the core operating business, which exclude the impact of the items detailed in the supplemental exhibits, as these items are generally not operational in nature. These supplemental performance measures also provide another basis for comparing period to period results by excluding potential differences caused by non-operational and unusual or non-recurring items. Management also utilizes Revenue, Excluding Billable Expenses because it provides management useful information about the company's operating performance by excluding the impact of costs that are not indicative of the level of productivity of its consulting staff headcount and its overall direct labor, which management believes provides useful information to its investors about its core operations. Booz Allen also utilizes and discusses Free Cash Flow in this release because management uses this measure for business planning purposes, measuring the cash generating ability of the operating business and measuring liquidity generally. Booz Allen presents these supplemental measures because it believes that these measures provide investors and securities analysts with important supplemental information with which to evaluate Booz Allen’s performance, long term earnings potential, or liquidity, as applicable, and to enable them to assess Booz Allen’s performance on the same basis as management. These supplemental performance measurements may vary from and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures by other companies in Booz Allen’s industry. Revenue, Excluding Billable Expenses, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, and Free Cash Flow are not recognized measurements under GAAP and when analyzing Booz Allen’s performance or liquidity, as applicable, investors should (i) evaluate each adjustment in our reconciliation of revenue to Revenue Excluding Billable Expenses, operating income to Adjusted Operating Income, net income to Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share, and net cash provided by operating activities to Free Cash Flow, and the explanatory footnotes regarding those adjustments, each as defined under GAAP, (ii) use Revenue Excluding Billable Expenses, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted EPS in addition to, and not as an alternative to revenue, operating income, net income or diluted EPS as a measures of operating results, each as defined under GAAP, and (iii) use Free Cash Flow, in addition to, and not as an alternative to, net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity, each as defined under GAAP. Exhibit 4 includes a reconciliation of Revenue, Excluding Billable Expenses, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, and Free Cash Flow to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
With respect to our expectations under “Financial Outlook” above, a reconciliation of Adjusted Diluted EPS guidance to the closest corresponding GAAP measure is not available without unreasonable efforts on a forward-looking basis due to our inability to predict our stock price, equity grants and dividend declarations during the course of fiscal 2018. Projecting future stock price, equity grants and dividends to be declared would be necessary to accurately calculate the difference between Adjusted Diluted EPS and GAAP EPS as a result of the effects of the two-class method and related possible dilution used in the calculation of EPS. Consequently, any attempt to disclose such reconciliation would imply a degree of precision that could be confusing or misleading to investors. We expect the variability of the above charges to have an unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on our future GAAP financial results.

to meet their obligations to us or our clients; inherent uncertainties and potential adverse developments in legal or regulatory proceedings, including litigation, audits, reviews, and investigations, which may result in materially adverse judgments, settlements, withheld payments, penalties, or other unfavorable outcomes including debarment, as well as disputes over the availability of insurance or indemnification; internal system or service failures and security breaches, including, but not limited to, those resulting from external cyber attacks on our network and internal systems; risks related to changes to our operating structure, capabilities, or strategy intended to address client needs, grow our business or respond to market developments; risks associated with new relationships, clients, capabilities, and service offerings in our U.S. and international businesses; failure to comply with special U.S. government laws and regulations relating to our international operations; risks related to our indebtedness and credit facilities which contain financial and operating covenants; the adoption by the U.S. government of new laws, rules, and regulations, such as those relating to organizational conflicts of interest issues or limits; risks related to completed and future acquisitions, including our ability to realize the expected benefits from such acquisitions; an inability to utilize existing or future tax benefits, including those related to our stock-based compensation expense, for any reason, including a change in law; and variable purchasing patterns under U.S. government GSA schedules, blanket purchase agreements and indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contracts, or IDIQ, contracts. Additional information concerning these and other factors can be found in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on May 22, 2017.

Forward Looking Safe Harbor Statement
Certain statements contained in this presentation and in related comments by our management include “forward‐looking statements” within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Examples of forward‐looking statements include information concerning Booz Allen’s preliminary financial results, financial
outlook and guidance, including forecasted revenue, Diluted EPS, Adjusted Diluted EPS, future quarterly dividends, and future improvements in operating margins, as
well as any other statement that does not directly relate to any historical or current fact. In some cases, you can identify forward‐looking statements by terminology
such as “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “forecasts,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “projects,” “outlook,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,”
“continue,” “preliminary,” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward‐looking
statements are reasonable, we can give you no assurance these expectations will prove to have been correct.
These forward‐looking statements relate to future events or our future financial performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that
may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements
expressed or implied by these forward‐looking statements. A number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in or
implied by these forward‐looking statements, including those factors discussed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including our Annual
Report on Form 10‐K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017, which can be found at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. All forward‐looking statements attributable to
us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements. All such statements speak only as of the date made
and, except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward‐looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise.
Note Regarding Non‐GAAP Financial Data Information
Booz Allen discloses in the following information Revenue, Excluding Billable Expenses, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted
Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, and Free Cash Flow which are not recognized measurements under GAAP, and when analyzing Booz Allen’s performance or liquidity
as applicable, investors (i) evaluate each adjustment in our reconciliation of revenue to Revenue Excluding Billable Expenses, operating income to Adjusted Operating
Income, net income to Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share, and net cash provided by operating
activities to Free Cash Flow, and the explanatory footnotes regarding those adjustments, each as defined under GAAP, (ii) use Revenue, Excluding Billable Expenses,
Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted EPS in addition to, and not as an alternative to
revenue, operating income, net income or diluted EPS as measures of operating results, and (iii) use Free Cash Flow in addition to and not as an alternative to net cash
provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity, each as defined under GAAP. The Financial Appendix includes a reconciliation of Revenue, Excluding Billable
Expenses, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, and Free Cash Flow to the most directly
comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Booz Allen presents these supplemental performance measures because it believes
that these measures provide investors and securities analysts with important supplemental information with which to evaluate Booz Allen’s performance, long term
earnings potential, or liquidity, as applicable and to enable them to assess Booz Allen’s performance on the same basis as management. These supplemental
performance and liquidity measurements may vary from and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures by other companies in Booz Allen’s industry. With
respect to our expectations under “Fiscal 2018 Full Year Outlook,” reconciliation of Adjusted Diluted EPS guidance to the closest corresponding GAAP measure is not
available without unreasonable efforts on a forward‐looking basis due to our inability to predict our stock price, equity grants and dividend declarations during the
course of fiscal 2018. Projecting future stock price, equity grants and dividends to be declared would be necessary to accurately calculate the difference between
Adjusted Diluted EPS and GAAP EPS as a result of the effects of the two‐class method and related possible dilution used in the calculation of EPS. Consequently, any
attempt to disclose such reconciliation would imply a degree of precision that could be confusing or misleading to investors. We expect the variability of the above
charges to have an unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on our future GAAP financial results.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION
• “Revenue, Excluding Billable Expenses" represents revenue less billable expenses. We use Revenue, Excluding Billable Expenses
because it provides management useful information about the Company's operating performance by excluding the impact of
costs that are not indicative of the level of productivity of our consulting staff headcount and our overall direct labor, which
management believes provides useful information to our investors about our core operations.
• “Adjusted Operating Income” represents Operating Income before: (i) adjustments related to the amortization of intangible
assets resulting from the acquisition of our Company by The Carlyle Group, and (ii) transaction costs, fees, losses, and
expenses, including fees associated with debt prepayments. Booz Allen prepares Adjusted Operating Income to eliminate the
impact of items it does not consider indicative of ongoing operating performance due to their inherent unusual, extraordinary
or non‐recurring nature or because they result from an event of a similar nature.
• “Adjusted EBITDA” represents net income before income taxes, net interest and other expense and depreciation and
amortization and before certain other items, including transaction costs, fees, losses, and expenses, including fees associated
with debt prepayments. “Adjusted EBITDA Margin” is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. Booz Allen prepares
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin to eliminate the impact of items it does not consider indicative of ongoing
operating performance due to their inherent unusual, extraordinary or non‐recurring nature or because they result from an
event of a similar nature.
• “Adjusted Net Income” represents net income before: (i) adjustments related to the amortization of intangible assets resulting
from the acquisition of our Company by The Carlyle Group, (ii) transaction costs, fees, losses, and expenses, including fees
associated with debt prepayments, and (iii) amortization or write‐off of debt issuance costs and write‐off of original issue
discount, net of the tax effect where appropriate calculated using an assumed effective tax rate. Booz Allen prepares Adjusted
Net Income to eliminate the impact of items, net of taxes, it does not consider indicative of ongoing operating performance
due to their inherent unusual, extraordinary or non‐recurring nature or because they result from an event of a similar nature.
• "Adjusted Diluted EPS" represents diluted EPS calculated using Adjusted Net Income as opposed to net income. Additionally,
Adjusted Diluted EPS does not contemplate any adjustments to net income as required under the two‐class method as
disclosed in the footnotes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
• "Free Cash Flow" represents the net cash generated from operating activities less the impact of purchases of property and
equipment.

FINANCIAL RESULTS – KEY DRIVERS
Second Quarter 2018 – Below is a summary of Booz Allen’s results for the fiscal 2018 second quarter and the key factors driving
those results as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2017:
• Revenue increased by 10.6% to $1.54 billion primarily due to increased client demand which led to increased client staff
headcount, and therefore direct labor. Headcount increased approximately 770 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal year
2018 and nearly 1,500 over the prior year period. Revenue growth also benefitted from an 18% increase in billable expenses as
compared to the prior year period.
• Revenue Excluding Billable Expenses increased 7.5% to $1.06 billion primarily due to increased client demand which led to
increased client staff headcount, and therefore direct labor.
• Operating Income increased 7.5% to $126.5 million and Adjusted Operating Income increased 3.7% to $126.5 million. Increases
in both were primarily driven by the same factors driving revenue growth and improved contract profitability partially offset by
increased spending as compared to the prior year period. Adjusted Operating Income in the second quarter of fiscal 2017
included the benefit of a $3.4 million addback in costs related to debt refinancing transactions that did not occur in fiscal year
2018.
• Net income increased 12.9% to $70.9 million. Adjusted Net Income increased 3.1% to $71.3 million. These increases were
primarily driven by the same factors as Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Income, as well as a decrease in our income
tax expense due to the adoption of a new accounting standard, ASU 2016‐09, that resulted in an additional income tax benefit
of $2.4 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2018.
• EBITDA increased 7.7% to $142.5 million and Adjusted EBITDA increased 5.0% to $142.5 due to the same factors as Operating
Income and Adjusted Operating Income, respectively.
• Diluted EPS increased to $0.47 from $0.41 in the prior year period and Adjusted Diluted EPS increased to $0.48 from $0.46 in
the prior year period. The increases were primarily driven by the same factors as Net Income and Adjusted Net Income,
respectively.
• As of September 30, 2017, total backlog was $16.7 billion, an increase of 22.3 percent compared to September 30, 2016. This
reflects continuing backlog improvement across all categories, with total backlog at record levels. Funded backlog increased
7.7%, while unfunded backlog and priced options increased 17.1% and 31.6%, respectively.

FINANCIAL RESULTS – KEY DRIVERS
Six Months Ended September 30, 2017 – Booz Allen’s cumulative performance for the first two quarters of fiscal 2018 has
resulted in:
• Net cash provided by operating activities was $178.1 million as compared to $217.1 million in the prior year period. The
decrease in cash from operations is primarily the result of higher cash taxes paid during fiscal 2018. As mentioned last
quarter, we continue to experience temporary payment delays at one of the Company’s customer payment centers. We
are seeing improvements and expect such delays to be mitigated by the end of the fiscal year. Free Cash Flow declined
$60.9 million from the prior year period due to the same factors affecting cash provided by operations, as well as an
increase of $21.8 million in capital expenditures due to the expected amount and the timing of leasehold improvements
to update existing office space.
