Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The information as of June 29, 2025 and for the three and six months ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024 is unaudited. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 29, 2024 was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements at that date. In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not necessarily include all information and footnotes necessary for presentation in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2024, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 26, 2025 (the “Form 10-K”). Interim operating results are not necessarily indicative of operating results expected in subsequent periods or for the year as a whole.
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its 100% owned subsidiaries. All inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. On June 21, 2024, the Company purchased the remaining 9.95% interest in KTT CORE, Inc., a Delaware corporation formerly known as KTT CORE, LLC (“KTT Core”) which previously had been reported as a majority owned subsidiary. KTT Core is now a 100% owned subsidiary. See Note 11 for further information related to the redeemable noncontrolling interest.
Fiscal Year | Fiscal Year The Company has a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the last Sunday of the calendar year. The three month periods ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024 consisted of 13-week periods. The six month periods ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024 consisted of 26-week periods. There are 52 calendar weeks in the fiscal years ending on December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024.
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates There have been no significant changes in the Company’s accounting estimates for the six months ended June 29, 2025 as compared to the accounting estimates described in the Form 10-K.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company uses forward exchange contracts to manage foreign currency risks associated with certain transactions, specifically forecasted materials and salaries paid in foreign currencies. The Company also has entered into an interest rate swap contract in order to mitigate the exposure to interest rate movements associated with the Company’s Term Loan A. These derivative instruments are measured at fair value using observable market inputs such as interest rates. Based on these inputs, the derivative instruments are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. At June 29, 2025, the derivative instruments were included in other current assets and other long-term liabilities on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets. On June 30, 2025, in anticipation of the extinguishment of all outstanding Term Loan A debt under the 2022 Credit Facility, the Company terminated the interest rate swap contract referred to above. The carrying amounts and the related fair values of the Company’s derivative instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 29, 2025 are presented in Note 15. The carrying value of all financial instruments, including cash equivalents, accounts receivable, unbilled receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses, billings in excess of cost and earnings on uncompleted contracts, income taxes payable and long and short-term debt, approximated their estimated fair values at June 29, 2025 and December 29, 2024 due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires companies to disclose, on an annual basis, specific categories in the effective tax rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. In addition, ASU 2023-09 requires companies to disclose additional information about income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 will be effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2025 and will be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. The Company will adopt ASU 2023-09 for the period ending December 28, 2025. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement (Topic 220): Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, which requires the amounts of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization included in each relevant expense caption. It also requires companies to include certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under GAAP in the same disclosure. Additionally, it requires companies to disclose a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively, and to disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses. ASU 2024-03 (as further clarified through ASU No. 2025-01, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)) will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted and will be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2024-03; however, the standard is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Net Income (Loss) per Common Share | Net Income per Common Share The Company calculates net income per share in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share (“Topic 260”). Under Topic 260, basic net income per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted net income per common share reflects the effects of potentially dilutive securities. Diluted net income per share for the three and six months ended June 29, 2025 include the dilutive effect of an aggregate of 1.7 million and 2.0 million shares, respectively, of the Company’s common stock granted to employees under stock-based compensation plans. Diluted net income per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 include the dilutive effect of an aggregate of 1.6 million and 1.1 million shares, respectively, of the Company’s common stock granted to employees under stock-based compensation plans.
Joint Venture Arrangements | Joint Venture ArrangementsOn February 26, 2025, the Company and RAFAEL Advanced Defense Systems, Ltd. (“RAFAEL”) announced an approximate 50/50 joint venture for the establishment of a U.S.-based merchant supplier of solid rocket motors (“SRMs”) and other energetics. The new joint venture, named Prometheus Energetics (“Prometheus”), is set to be headquartered on an approximately 500-acre site near the U.S. Navy and Army facility in Crane, Indiana. Kratos and RAFAEL (through its U.S. based subsidiary RAFAEL USA) have jointly committed up to $175 million in capital for the establishment of Prometheus and required property, plant, equipment and personnel needed for the new, state-of-the-art energetics manufacturing campus and facilities. After construction of the plant and once RAFAEL’s technology transfer is completed and certified for operations, Prometheus is projected to begin production of SRMs in 2027. To date, the Company has incurred minimal amounts of expense related to the establishment of Prometheus.
