(1)The U.S. dollar denominated borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at either a SOFR rate plus a margin of between 0.975% and 1.725% or a base rate plus a margin of between 0% and 0.625% depending on the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio or Debt Rating (each as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility (defined below)). The interest rate under the Revolving Credit Agreement also incorporates a modest sustainability-linked pricing adjustment, which resulted in a favorable interest rate adjustment to the Company in February 2025. The applicable SOFR rates, including applicable margins, at June 27, 2025 and September 27, 2024 were approximately 5.49% and 6.64%. Borrowings denominated in British pounds bear interest at an adjusted SONIA rate plus a margin of between 0.908% and 1.658%. There were no amounts drawn in British pounds as of June 27, 2025. (2)The U.S. dollar denominated borrowings under the 2021 Term Loan Facility bear interest at either a SOFR rate plus a margin of between 0.975% and 1.725% or a base rate plus a margin of betwee n 0% and 0.625% depending on the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio or Debt Rating (each as defined in the Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement (defined below)). The applicable SOFR rate, including applicable margins, for borrowings denominated in U.S. dollars at September 27, 2024 was approximately 6.52%. Borrowings denominated in British pounds bear interest at an adjusted SONIA rate plus a margin of between 0.908% and 1.658%, which was approximately 6.23% at September 27, 2024. (3)Borrowings under the 2025 Term Loan Facility will bear interest at either a SONIA rate or term SOFR rate plus a margin of between 0.975% and 1.60% or a base rate plus a margin of between 0% and 0.50% depending on the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio. The applicable SOFR and SONIA rates, including applicable margins, at June 27, 2025 were approximately 5.43% for borrowings denominated in U.S. dollars and 5.22% f or borrowings denominated in British pounds. (4)The interest rate payable on the 5.90% Bonds (as defined below) may be increased by an additional 12.5 basis points on each of September 1, 2028 and September 1, 2030, based on whether or not the Company achieves the key performance indicators set forth in the First Supplemental Indenture (as defined below). Each key performance indicator is independent of the other. Therefore, we may achieve one, both, or neither. (5)Balance as of September 27, 2024 is associated with the September 1, 2025 scheduled maturity of the 2021 Term Loan Facility, which was reclassified from long-term debt in September 2024 and subsequently extinguished before March 28, 2025. We believe the carrying values of the Revolving Credit Facility and the 2025 Term Loan Facility approximates fair value based on the interest rates and scheduled maturities applicable to the outstanding borrowings. At June 27, 2025, the fair value of the 5.90% Bonds and the 6.35% bonds is estimated to be $516.3 million and $627.3 million, respectively, based on Level 2 inputs. The fair value is determined by discounting future cash flows using interest rates available for issuances with similar terms and average maturities. Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loans The Company and certain of its subsidiaries maintain an unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) established under a third amended and restated credit agreement, dated February 6, 2023 (the "Revolving Credit Agreement"), among Jacobs and certain of its subsidiaries as borrowers and a syndicate of U.S. and international banks and financial institutions. Amounts up to $2.25 billion in credit extensions under the Revolving Credit Facility can be funded in U.S. dollars, British Sterling, Euros, Canadian dollars, Australian dollars, Swedish Krona, Singapore dollars and other agreed upon alternative currencies. The Revolving Credit Agreement also provides for a financial letter of credit sub facility of $400.0 million, permits performance letters of credit, and provides for a $100.0 million sub facility for swing line loans. Letters of credit are subject to fees based on the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio and Debt Rating, whichever is more favorable to the Company. The maturity date of the Revolving Credit Facility is February 6, 2028. The Company is a guarantor of the obligations of JEGI and its subsidiaries under the Revolving Credit Agreement. The Company and JEGI maintained an unsecured delayed draft term loan facility (the “2021 Term Loan Facility”) established under an amended and restated term loan agreement dated February 6, 2023 (the "Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement"), by and among the Company and JEGI and a syndicate of banks and financial institutions. JEGI borrowed $200.0 million and £650.0 million of term loans under the 2021 Term Loan Facility (reflecting scheduled maturities in February 2026 and September 2025, respectively) and the proceeds of such term loans were used primarily to fund JEGI's investment in PA Consulting. On March 13, 2025, the Company exchanged approximately 19.5 million shares of our investment in Amentum Holdings, Inc. for approximately £239.8 million, or $311.5 million, in aggregate principal amount under the 2021 Term Loan Facility in an equity-for-debt transaction (the "Equity-for-Debt Transaction"). The aggregate principal amount of debt was immediately extinguished, and the Company received no other consideration (cash or otherwise) in connection with the exchange. For more information, please refer to Note 15 - Discontinued Operations. In connection with the Equity-for-Debt Transaction, $20.5 million in discounts and expenses were recognized as loss on extinguishment of debt. On March 27, 2025, the Company, as guarantor, and JEGI, as borrower, entered into a term loan agreement (the “2025 Term Loan Facility”) with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and sole lead arranger, and the lenders party thereto. Under the 2025 Term Loan Facility, JEGI borrowed a $200.0 million term loan and £410.0 million term loan for a term of two-years from the date of initial funding, maturing on March 26, 2027. The proceeds from the 2025 Term Loan Facility were used to repay the remaining outstanding 2021 Term Loan Facility principal equal to $120.0 million and £410.2 million, or $531.6 million, with the remaining proceeds used for general corporate purposes. We were in compliance with the covenants under the Revolving Credit Facility and 2025 Term Loan Facility at June 27, 2025. 5.90% Bonds, due 2033 On February 16, 2023, JEGI completed an offering of $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.90% Bonds due 2033 (the “5.90% Bonds”). The 5.90% Bonds are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company (the “5.90% Bonds Guarantee”). The 5.90% Bonds and the 5.90% Bonds Guarantee were offered pursuant to a prospectus supplement, dated February 13, 2023, to the prospectus dated February 6, 2023, that forms a part of the Company's and JEGI’s automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3ASR previously filed with the SEC, and were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of February 16, 2023, between JEGI, as issuer, the Company, as guarantor, and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as amended and supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of February 16, 2023 (the “First Supplemental Indenture”). Interest on the 5.90% Bonds is payable semi-annually in arrears on each March 1 and September 1, until maturity. The 5.90% Bonds bear interest at 5.90% per annum, subject to adjustments as discussed in note (4) to the table above. Prior to December 1, 2032 (the “5.90% Bonds Par Call Date”), JEGI may redeem the 5.90% Bonds at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at the redemption price calculated by JEGI (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of: (1) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the 5.90% Bonds being redeemed, assuming that such 5.90% Bonds matured on the 5.90% Bonds Par Call Date, discounted to the redemption date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months), at the Treasury Rate (as defined in the First Supplemental Indenture) plus 35 basis points, less (b) interest accrued to the redemption date, and (2) 100% of the principal amount of such 5.90% Bonds to be redeemed, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest on the 5.90% Bonds, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. At any time and from time to time on or after the 5.90% Bonds Par Call Date, JEGI may redeem the 5.90% Bonds, at its option, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 5.90% Bonds to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, up to, but excluding, the redemption date. 6.35% Bonds, due 2028 On August 18, 2023, JEGI completed an offering of $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.35% Bonds due 2028 (the “6.35% Bonds”). The 6.35% Bonds are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company (the “6.35% Bonds Guarantee”). The 6.35% Bonds and the 6.35% Bonds Guarantee were offered pursuant to a prospectus supplement, dated August 15, 2023, to the prospectus dated February 6, 2023, that forms a part of the Company and JEGI’s automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3ASR previously filed with the SEC, and were issued pursuant to the Indenture, as amended and supplemented by the Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of August 18, 2023 (the “Second Supplemental Indenture”). Interest on the 6.35% Bonds is payable semi-annually in arrears on each February 18 and August 18, until maturity. The Notes will bear interest at a rate of 6.35% per annum and will mature on August 18, 2028. The 6.35% Bonds bear interest at 6.35% per annum. Prior to July 18, 2028 (the “6.35% Bonds Par Call Date”), JEGI may redeem the 6.35% Bonds at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at the redemption price calculated by JEGI (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of: (1) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the 6.35% Bonds being redeemed, assuming that such 6.35% Bonds matured on the 6.35% Bonds Par Call Date, discounted to the redemption date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months), at the Treasury Rate (as defined in the Second Supplemental Indenture) plus 30 basis points, less (b) interest accrued to the redemption date, and (2) 100% of the principal amount of such 6.35% Bonds to be redeemed, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest on the 6.35% Bonds, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. At any time and from time to time on or after the 6.35% Bonds Par Call Date, JEGI may redeem the 6.35% Bonds, at its option, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 6.35% Bonds to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. Other arrangements During fiscal 2020, the Company entered into interest rate and cross currency derivative contracts to swap a portion of our variable rate debt to fixed rate debt. See Note 18- Commitments and Contingencies and Derivative Financial Instruments for discussion regarding the Company's derivative instruments. The Company issued $0.3 million in letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility, leaving $1.59 billion of available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility at June 27, 2025. In addition, the Company had issued $229.5 million under various separate, committed and uncommitted letter-of-credit facilities for total issued letters of credit of $229.8 million at June 27, 2025.
