Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corporation swung to a loss in the
fiscal fourth quarter due to an increase in reserves it held for
talks to settle a U.S. government investigation.
The technology consulting and engineering services company
posted a loss of $68.4 million, or 52 cents a share, for the three
months ended March 31, compared with a profit of $90.9 million, or
68 cents a share, in the same quarter a year ago.
Revenue rose 8.7% to $2.43 billion. Analysts polled by FactSet
were expecting revenue of $2.39 billion.
During the fourth quarter, Booz Allen booked a $226 million
charge for to a U.S. Department of Justice's investigation into the
company. The investigation, previously disclosed in 2017, is
related to "highly technical elements of the company's cost
accounting and indirect cost charging practices with the U.S.
government," Booz Allen said.
Stripping out that charge and other one-time items, adjusted
earnings were $1.01 a share, above analyst estimates of 95 cents a
share, according to FactSet.
