Item 1. BUSINESS

Guided by our values and our brand promise — Challenging today. Reinventing tomorrow – Jacobs delivers innovative solutions to address the world’s most complex challenges and create lasting value for clients, communities and society.

With a global team of approximately 43,000, we provide end-to-end capabilities across advanced manufacturing, cities & places, energy, environmental, life sciences, transportation and water. Our services span advisory and consulting, feasibility and planning, through to design, program delivery and lifecycle management — helping to create a more connected and sustainable world.

From addressing water scarcity and aging infrastructure to access to life-saving therapies and cyber resilience, we combine creativity, agility and deep domain expertise to deliver outcomes that matter. Our integrated approach enables clients to meet urgent needs today while preparing for the opportunities of tomorrow.

Over the past eight years, Jacobs has transformed into a science-based consulting and advisory leader, focused on delivering digitally enabled, resilient solutions to complex sustainability, critical infrastructure and advanced manufacturing challenges. Strategic acquisitions, including a 65% stake in PA Consulting Group Limited ("PA Consulting") in fiscal 2021, along with BlackLynx and StreetLight — have strengthened our capabilities in high-value technology-enabled solutions.

Challenge accepted

In February 2025, we launched Challenge Accepted, our multi-year growth strategy designed to sharpen our focus and accelerate our performance. Aligned with our long-term financial framework, this strategy positions us to drive profitable growth and deliver scalable, full lifecycle solutions across water and environmental, life sciences and advanced manufacturing, and critical infrastructure.

As global challenges like urbanization, infrastructure modernization, digital evolution and environmental resilience intensify, our integrated delivery model unites the full breadth of our capabilities — from strategy through execution – across our end markets. This synergy enables us to deliver rapid, large-scale outcomes that anticipate evolving client needs and advance a more resilient, sustainable future where technology elevates human ingenuity and unlocks new possibilities for collaboration and problem-solving.

We harness our advanced data and digital capabilities, products and tools to help clients operate more efficiently, safely and intelligently. Through the expertise of our people and ongoing investment in artificial intelligence (AI) and next-generation digital solutions, we empower our clients' decision-making across the entire asset lifecycle – from capital planning and operations to cybersecurity and operational technology. Our capabilities in data analytics, digital architecture, advisory and transformation, software development and cybersecurity enable clients to unlock the full value of their data and digital infrastructure to improve performance, resilience and sustainability.

Through our strategic partnership with PA Consulting, we are expanding our high-end advisory services and deploying our collective strengths to help clients adapt, innovate and transform. Together, we deliver integrated support across the full project lifecycle — from early-stage strategy to implementation — enabling clients to tackle complex challenges, accelerate sustainable growth and shape a smarter, more resilient future.

A streamlined, focused business

Prior to the Separation Transaction, the Company's four operating segments were comprised of its two global lines of business ("LOBs"): Critical Mission Solutions ("CMS") and People Places and Solutions ("P&PS"), its business unit Divergent Solutions ("DVS") and its majority investment in PA Consulting. After the Separation in fiscal year 2024, we reorganized P&PS and our remaining DVS businesses into a more streamlined operating model, Infrastructure & Advanced Facilities ("I&AF"), which enables our collective business teams to collaborate more horizontally. Our CMS LOB and portions of DVS which were included in the Separation are now reported as discontinued operations.

Our Values in Action

Jacobs' Ethics and Code of Conduct, rooted in our values, set clear standards and support to guide decision-making and ensure we conduct our business with integrity.

Jacobs_logo_PlanBeyond_rgb_black (003).jpg

At Jacobs, sustainability means delivering thoughtful solutions that meet today’s needs while enabling economies,

communities and the environment to thrive in the future. Our PlanBeyond® sustainable business approach aligns with our purpose to create a more connected, sustainable world. This approach has strengthened client relationships, aiming to create new opportunities and embed resilience into our global strategy. Building on this foundation, PlanBeyond 2025+ focuses on transparency, measurable outcomes and trusted delivery, guiding our path forward with our stakeholders, including our clients, partners and people.

Driving positive impact

Operating in more than 40 countries, we view sustainability and resilience as key differentiators and drivers of impact. Demand for solutions that address complex, interconnected challenges continues to grow across infrastructure, energy, advanced manufacturing and health. By embedding sustainability into our solutions, we help clients’ businesses and assets remain resilient. In fiscal 2025, we launched our Evolve tool, which generates recommendations to integrate sustainability into our projects to enhance their positive impact and resilience. Complimentary tools like Climate Risk Manager, Kaleidoscope and Intelligent O&M assess climate risks, carbon impacts and system vulnerabilities to inform critical project decisions.

We deliver cross-cutting solutions across seven interconnected capabilities: decarbonization & greenhouse gas management; adaptation & resilience; sustainable built environments; sustainable business; social value; nature positive; and energy transition. Together, these enable systems-level impact for clients and communities worldwide.

Transparency and accountability

We are committed to leading by example in our own operations — advancing a suite of strategic actions to reduce our carbon footprint. Our current commitment, including sourcing 100% renewable electricity and our net-zero target validated by the Science Based Targets initiative, underscore our progress across our operations and supply chain.

We have invested in technology to enhance virtual collaboration and help mitigate business travel and employee commuting carbon emissions. We also invested in tools and technology to help our people consider when business travel is essential and make more sustainable choices when it is necessary.

As businesses worldwide experience increasing stakeholder expectations and sustainability regulatory requirements, corporate transparency and accountability remains central. We report on our sustainability performance and corporate responsibility initiatives in accordance with globally recognized frameworks when required by applicable regulations, or, in the absence of mandated standards, we follow widely accepted market practices.

Positively impacting tomorrow’s communities

We work globally with our clients, partners and supply chains to deliver solutions that seek to improve how people live, move and thrive, aiming to foster health and well-being for all occupants, promoting a sustainable and thriving future.

We invest in local communities globally, collaborating with charities and not-for-profit organizations to make a positive impact and live our values. Through Collectively℠, our global giving and volunteering program, we empower employees to support causes aligned to our values, through paid volunteer time, donation matching and grant nomination. In fiscal 2025, our employees mobilized support for communities, including those impacted by natural disasters, water insecurity and conflict. For example, in 2025 a team of 10 Jacobs volunteers partnered with non-profit Bridges to Prosperity to build a suspended bridge across Rwanda’s Gatongati River — our 17th bridge build — providing safe, year-round access to education, healthcare, markets and other essential services for more than 8,300 people.

We also invest in the next generation through our science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM) education and engagement programs promoting sustainability learning among young people and providing information to inspire future careers in STEAM.

In 2025, Jacobs sponsored the International Science and Engineering Fair — a premier global competition engaging students from more than 300 affiliated science fairs worldwide and advancing the future talent pipeline.

In fiscal 2025, we donated over $2.9 million to 2,300+ charities across 34 countries. Our employees tracked more than 7,000 volunteer hours including nearly 4,000 STEAM volunteer hours.

Social value advisory in our client solutions

We also deliver social value strategies and services that help clients realize social value opportunities through their projects and services by embedding and measuring social, economic and environmental benefit generation into project delivery.

Our fully owned subsidiary, Simetrica-Jacobs, specializes in social value, wellbeing research and impact evaluation — measuring and quantifying social value and impacts to help directly inform investment decisions and delivery models. Simetrica-Jacobs deploys internationally endorsed methods set out by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and government-produced guidelines, including the U.K. Government’s HM Treasury Green Book.

By combining this expertise with our infrastructure delivery, we help clients understand how they can transform local decision-making, shape inclusive investments and create lasting social change.

We maintain agile and disciplined capital deployment

M&A and Divestitures

Consistent with our profitable growth strategy, Jacobs pursues acquisitions, divestitures, strategic investments and other transactions to maximize long-term value by continuing to reshape our portfolio to higher value solutions and accelerating profitable growth strategy. The Company has recently made the following acquisitions, strategic investments and divestitures:

Solutions are delivered as standalone professional service engagements, comprehensive program management partnerships, and selective progressive design-build and construction management at-risk delivery services. Increasingly, we use data science and technology-enabled expertise to deliver positive and enduring outcomes for our clients and communities.

We serve national, state and local government clients across multiple regions — including the U.S., Europe, U.K., Middle East, and Asia Pacific — and multinational and local private sector organizations globally.

PA Consulting (PA)

PA Consulting, the global innovation and transformation consultancy, accelerates new growth ideas from concept, through design and development and to commercial success, and revitalizes organizations, building leadership, culture, systems and processes to make innovation a reality. PA Consulting's global team of about 4,000, which includes strategists, innovators, designers, consultants, digital experts, scientists, engineers and technologists work across seven sectors: consumer and manufacturing, defense and security, energy and utilities, financial services, government, health and life sciences, and transport to make a positive impact alongside the clients it supports, bringing ingenuity to life.

PA Consulting has a diverse mix of private and public sector clients. Private sector clients include global household names like Diageo, Microsoft, Pret A Manger and Unilever, and start-ups like NTx, which is accelerating access to life-changing therapies. PA's work includes applying data and analytics to improve punctuality of flights at Heathrow Airport, accelerating the energy transition with Invenergy and energyRe, creating new digital platforms for the American College of Emergency Physicians, pioneering medtech with Hubly Surgical, accelerating clinical trials with AI for a global life sciences consortium, and enhancing resiliency in banking with Bankomat.

Collectively, we also deploy the combined strengths of Jacobs' technical expertise in infrastructure, advanced manufacturing and technology with PA Consulting's innovation and transformation expertise to unlock significant opportunities for our clients worldwide. In the U.S., we’re supporting the digital transformation of Dallas Fort Worth International Airport and contributing to the Frederick Douglass Tunnel program — one of the nation’s largest transportation infrastructure investments. In England, we provide engineering, technical advice and innovation services to National Highways. We’re building an AI blueprint for Hertfordshire County Council, one of England’s largest councils. We’ve been appointed to the U.K.’s largest government management consultancy framework providing public sector organizations with streamlined access to advisory services. We’re also delivering technical project management for the U.K. Department for Energy Security & Net Zero’s Carbon Capture, Usage and Storage program, a cornerstone of the U.K.’s net-zero ambitions.

Separation of Critical Mission Solutions (CMS) and Cyber & Intelligence (C&I)

On September 27, 2024, Jacobs Solutions Inc. ("Jacobs") completed the previously announced Reverse Morris Trust transaction pursuant to which (i) Jacobs first transferred its Critical Mission Solutions business (“CMS”) and portions of the Divergent Solutions (“DVS”) business (referred to herein as the Cyber & Intelligence business (“C&I”) and together with CMS referred to as the “SpinCo Business”), to Amazon Holdco Inc., a Delaware corporation, which has been renamed Amentum Holdings, Inc. (“SpinCo”) (the “Separation”), (ii) Jacobs then effectuated a spin-off of SpinCo by distributing 124,084,108 shares of SpinCo common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “SpinCo Common Stock”), by way of a pro rata distribution to its shareholders such that each holder of shares of Jacobs common stock, par value $1.00 per share, (the “Jacobs Common Stock”) was entitled to receive one share of SpinCo Common Stock for each share of Jacobs common stock held as of the record date, September 23, 2024 (the “Distribution”), and (iii) finally, Amentum Parent Holdings LLC merged with and into SpinCo, with SpinCo surviving the merger (the “Merger” and together with the Separation and the Distribution, the “Separation Transaction”). The surviving entity of the Separation Transaction is now an independent public company with common stock listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “AMTM” (“Amentum”).

As a result of the Separation Transaction, substantially all SpinCo Business-related assets and liabilities have been separated and distributed (the "Disposal Group"). The Company determined that the Disposal Group should be reported as discontinued operations in accordance with ASC 205-20, Discontinued Operations because their disposal represents a strategic shift that had a major effect on operations and financial results. As such, the financial results of the SpinCo Business are reflected in our Consolidated Statements of Earnings as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Additionally, current and non-current assets and liabilities of the Disposal Group were reflected as held for spin in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 29, 2023. Further, as the Separation Transaction closed on September 27, 2024, no amounts remained held for spin at the end of fiscal 2024.

For further information regarding separation activities that took place in fiscal 2025, see Note 14- Discontinued Operations of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements beginning on page F-1 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Prior to the Separation Transaction, Jacobs’ Critical Mission Solutions business provided a full spectrum of solutions for clients to address evolving challenges like digital transformation and modernization, national security and defense, space exploration, digital asset management, the clean energy transition, and nuclear decommissioning and cleanup. Clients included government agencies, as well as private sector clients mainly in the aerospace, automotive, motorsports, energy and telecom sectors. Prior to the Separation Transaction, the DVS business unit served as the core foundation for developing and delivering innovative, next-generation cloud, cyber, data and digital technologies. DVS clients included government agencies and commercial clients in the U.S. and international markets. Certain portions of the DVS business related to advising on digital strategy and transformation and developing digital solutions that facilitate capital, operational and cybersecurity decisions for our clients across our segments and their end markets were retained and are now part of I&AF.

Significant Customers

The following table sets forth the percentage of total revenues from continuing operations earned directly or indirectly from agencies of the U.S. federal government for each of the last three fiscal years:

202520242023
8%10%9%

Given the percentage of total revenue derived directly from the U.S. federal government, the loss of U.S. federal government agencies as customers could have a material adverse effect on the Company. In addition, any or all of our government contracts could be terminated, we could be suspended or debarred from all government contract work, or payment of our costs could be disallowed. For more information on risks relating to our government contracts, see Item 1A- Risk Factors.

Contracts

While there is considerable variation in the pricing provisions of the contracts we undertake, our contracts generally fall into two broad categories: cost-reimbursable and fixed-price. The following table sets forth the percentages of total revenues from continuing operations represented by these types of contracts for each of the last three fiscal years:

202520242023
Cost-reimbursable68%69%70%
Fixed-price, limited risk32%31%26%
Fixed-price, at risk—%—%4%

In accordance with industry practice, most of our contracts (including those with the U.S. federal government) are subject to termination at the discretion of the client, which is discussed in greater detail in Item 1A*- Risk Factors*. In such situations, our contracts typically provide for reimbursement of costs incurred and payment of fees earned through the date of termination.

Cost-Reimbursable Contracts

Cost-reimbursable contracts generally provide for reimbursement of costs incurred plus an amount of profit. The profit element may be in the form of a simple mark-up applied to the labor costs incurred or it may be in the form of a fee, or a combination of a mark-up and a fee. The fee element can also take several forms, including 1) a fixed amount, 2) an amount based on a percentage of the costs incurred or 3) an incentive fee based on targets, milestones, or performance factors defined in the contract. These contracts include a limited amount of guaranteed maximum price contracts.

Fixed-Price Contracts

Fixed-price contracts include both “lump sum bid” contracts and “negotiated fixed-price” contracts. Under lump sum bid contracts, we typically bid against competitors based on client-furnished specifications. This type of pricing presents certain inherent risks, including the possibility of ambiguities in the specifications received, problems with new technologies, and economic and other changes that may occur over the contract period. Additionally, it is not unusual for lump sum bid contracts to lead to an adversarial relationship with clients, which is contrary to our relationship-based business model. Accordingly, lump sum bid contracts are not our preferred form of contract. In contrast, under a negotiated fixed-price contract, we are selected as the contractor first and then we negotiate a price with our client and

Page 10

frequently exists in single-responsibility arrangements where we perform some portion of the work before negotiating the total price of the project. Thus, although both types of contracts involve a firm price for the client, the lump sum bid contract provides the greater degree of risk to us in our services contracts as well as construction. However, because of economies that may be realized during the contract term, both negotiated fixed-price and lump sum bid contracts may offer greater profit potential than other types of contracts. The Company carefully manages the risk inherent in these types of contracts. In recent years, most of our fixed-price work has been either negotiated fixed-price contracts or lump sum bid contracts for design and/or project services, rather than turnkey construction contracts which are included in the at risk type in the table above.

Competition

We compete with many companies across the world including technology, consulting and engineering firms. Typically, no single company or companies dominate the markets in which we provide services, and often we partner with our competitors or other companies to jointly pursue projects. AECOM, Tetra Tech, WSP, Arcadis, Bechtel, Arup, Endava, Exponent, Mott MacDonald, Stantec, Parsons, Accenture, Mace, AtkinsRealis, Altair, Montrose, Capgemini, Fluor, Deloitte, KPMG, PwC, Bain & Company and McKinsey & Company are some of our competitors. We compete based on the following factors, among others: technical capabilities, reputation for quality, price of services, safety record, availability of qualified personnel, and ability to timely perform work and contract terms.

Our People and Our Culture

Our people and culture define Jacobs. Authentic leadership and a commitment to living our core values every day creates a culture of trust, respect and empowerment across our business — enabling us to deliver the best outcomes for all our stakeholders. Guided by our employee value statement, "Jacobs. A world where you can.", our strategy further connects our people to our purpose and helps us continuously evolve our culture to support, empower and enable our talent to thrive.

Attracting and Growing our Talent

Jacobs’ success is dependent on our ability to hire, develop and retain exceptional talent across technical, professional, scientific and consulting disciplines.

As of September 26, 2025, we had a workforce of approximately 43,000 people worldwide, including a contingent workforce of approximately 1,800 people. Our voluntary employee turnover rate of 8.2% reflects a strong culture and the commitment of our people. The breakdown of our employees by region (excluding contingent workforce) is as follows:

Page 11

By fostering learning and unlocking career growth for our people, we attract and retain top talent to deliver for our clients and drive long-term growth for Jacobs. Our employee programs, global learning resources and digital tools enable collaboration and professional development in a supportive, high-performing workplace.

Our employee experience platform – e3: engage. excel. elevate. – enables our employees to develop through continuous feedback, priority alignment, experience profiling and career planning.

In fiscal 2025, we introduced several enterprise-wide initiatives to enhance talent mobility, foster leadership and support long-term, purpose-driven careers. These included responding to feedback from our employees regarding expanded learning opportunities, particularly in AI and digital skills, through the launch of Jacobs University—our global learning and development hub designed to make training more accessible and relevant across roles and regions. With four dedicated schools (and more planned) and access to nearly 30,000 training programs, the platform equips employees with future-ready skills and career development resources.

To expand career mobility, we also introduced the Internal Talent Marketplace, a digital platform connecting employees with opportunities, assignments and career pathways aligned to their goals and experience.

As we advance our digital and data solutions to help clients work more effectively and safer, we are also equipping our people with stronger digital skills and AI capabilities. In fiscal 2025, we launched Jacobs AI Assist, our proprietary AI tool that makes our authoritative knowledge more discoverable and usable for our employees in their daily work.

In fiscal 2025, more than 97% of employees completed all required modules in our annual “Living Our Values” training, which reinforces our core values.1

Our global graduate development program and local apprenticeships continue to provide our early career professionals with foundational skills, networks and knowledge. In fiscal 2025, we welcomed more than 1,300 graduates, interns and apprentices to our global team.

We support agile, lifelong careers through continuous development, mentoring and diverse career paths. Employees can request mentors through our e3 mentor match program and our eight Jacobs Employee Networks (JENs), which are open to all of our employees around the world, also offer mentoring with leaders who support and reflect myriad perspectives, backgrounds and experiences.

Our global Hybrid Work model strengthens team collaboration and client connection, while offering flexibility — reflecting our commitment to providing an adaptable, inclusive and empowering workplace.

Fostering Inclusion and Belonging

We continue to nurture our TogetherBeyond℠ culture, our approach to living inclusion every day and fostering belonging globally. We believe inclusive teams deliver stronger outcomes for clients, communities and one another. By embracing varied perspectives and lived experiences, we create conditions for greater creativity, faster decision-making, and deeper connection.

In fiscal 2025, we continued to invest in leadership training, our JENs, 240+ communities of practice, and global programs that promote accessibility and cultural awareness across project delivery, recruitment and community engagement. Open to all employees around the world, our JENs and communities of practice provide networking and development opportunities, and play a vital role in sustaining an inclusive culture.

Training and resources support our "We live inclusion" value and include topics such as inclusion and belonging and respect in the workplace, and our employee networks and communities of practice foster meaningful conversations and actions in support of workplace inclusion. Our people actively contribute to attracting new talent, shaping our recruitment strategies, and enhancing our STEAM programs and accessibility practices.

1 Completion rate reflects the four modules required for all employees. A fifth module, required only for people leaders, is excluded from this metric.

Our commitment to living inclusion begins at the top with leadership commitment and accountability driving culture at Jacobs.

Through our “Be Seen @ Jacobs” data disclosure campaign, we invite our employees globally to confidentially and voluntarily share their demographic information, where permitted, increasing transparency and helping us better shape the programs and benefits we offer our employees.

Health, safety, security & environment

Since its inception in 2007, our BeyondZero® program has helped protect our people and the environment through proactive programs shaping how we operate and how we care for one another. BeyondZero®, which began as a commitment to health and safety has evolved into a broader philosophy encompassing psychological wellbeing, security, environmental responsibility and business resilience — and has become a cornerstone of our Culture of Caring℠, our values and our identity.

Amid growing global complexities that test our ability to operate safely, securely and sustainably, we remain committed to proactive risk management and to delivering high-value solutions for our people, clients and communities.

In fiscal 2025, we achieved another year of zero employee fatalities at work and a total recordable incident rate2 of 0.11, compared to the North American Industry Classification System’s most recently reported3 aggregate rate of 0.60. This reflects our continued focus on protecting our people and maintaining resilient project environments. External recognition included five Environmental Business Journal / Climate Change Business Journal® awards for advancing environmental and climate resilience, and the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) Patron's Award for sustained health and safety excellence.

Page 14

We also advanced our resilience program — enhancing emergency, crisis and continuity capabilities to support stability and performance during times of disruption. Our enhanced Global Travel Assistance program in partnership with our provider, International SOS, helps keep our employees safe and healthy while traveling or on assignment outside their home country.

Our wellbeing programs address the full spectrum of employee health — from physical to emotional and social to financial. These include Origin which provides financial counseling, and Carrot, which offers free, inclusive fertility healthcare and family-forming benefits, and support for menopause, low testosterone and more.

RethinkCare provides free parental support and neurodiversity training. In fiscal 2025, we expanded holistic wellbeing support, including our Dedicated Workplace Support service, which compliments existing support like our Emotional Wellbeing Solutions digital portal.

Our global community of nearly 1,800 Positive Mental Health Champions — with 30% now serving as people leaders — continues to grow, providing peer-level support, guiding colleagues toward professional options, while helping to reduce stigma and foster inclusion. Our Jacobs-developed, free mental health check-in tool, One Million Lives, reached a significant milestone this year, with over 50,000 check-ins completed since launch.

Our BeyondZero journey is not a destination, but a mindset — driving us to protect our people, expand our impact, and partner globally to shape a safer, more sustainable future. We remain disciplined in strengthening our collective HSSE capability, positioning Jacobs to anticipate dynamic market demands and deliver responsible growth and lasting impact.
