Bull points
- Our year-to-date success with securing new awards, re-competes, and extensions has resulted in significantly reducing the overall percentage of re-competes that comprise our expected 2025 revenue. The progress we are seeing in efforts that Jeremy just discussed as well as our growth related activities focused on increasing proposal volume and larger scale opportunities bode well for continued growth and value creation.
- visibility is improving with our top five programs having approximately five years of revenue runway. This provides improved revenue visibility while also presenting optionality to allocate resources for continued growth.
- We anticipate the combination of these efforts will yield bookings growth, further strengthening backlog, which already represents approximately three times annual revenue.
