A New Task Order. DLH has been awarded a task order to provide risk management framework and cybersecurity operations support services to the National Institutes of Health (“NIH”) Center for Information Technology (“CIT”). CIT provides the NIH community with a secure and reliable IT infrastructure in support of its mission-critical research activities. In our view, not only does the award expand DLH’s support for NIH, but the award aligns with management’s strategy to grow technology-powered solutions in core markets.

Details. Notably, the task order is new work for DLH. The award has a potential value of $19.1 million inclusive of all option periods. The base period and multiple options aggregate to a three-year period of performance. This new business comes hot on the heels of recent awards for DLH, supporting our thesis that the multi-year lull in awards has broken. We anticipate DLH to continue to win its fair share of business going forward.

DLH Holdings (DLHC) – A New DLH Emerging


Friday, July 31, 2026

Joe Gomes, CFA, Managing Director, Equity Research Analyst, Generalist , Noble Capital Markets, Inc.

Refer to the full report for the price target, fundamental analysis, and rating.

3QFY26 Results. Revenue for the fiscal third quarter of 2026 totaled $44.2 million, down from $83.3 million in 3Q25 and below our $50 million estimate. Gross margin of 16.7% fell from 19.1% last year and was below our 20% projection. Partly reflecting one-time charges, DLH reported a net loss of $16.8 million, or $1.16/sh, versus net income of $289,000, or $0.02/sh last year. Third quarter adjusted EBITDA came in at $3.4 million, or 7.6% of revenue, down from $8.1 million and 9.7% last year. Notably, the final CMOP contracts transitioned during the quarter.

Operating Environment. Organic growth continues to be the number one corporate priority. Organic growth will come from two sources: on-contract growth and new awards. We believe on-contract growth will drive near-term growth. Management has a number of contracts with clients that can be expanded. In terms of new business, the government procurement markets have demonstrated improved clarity and stability in recent months, marking a significant improvement in the contracting environment when compared to fiscal 2025 and earlier in 2026.

Leadership Transition. After a 16-year run as CEO, Zach Parker has retired as DLH’s President and CEO. The Board appointed CFO Kathryn JohnBull as the new President and CEO. Steve Oroho, Senior Vice President, Finance & Accounting, has been named as the new CFO. Mr. Parker will remain with the Company as an advisor to the Board and to Ms. JohnBull through the end of the current fiscal year. He will continue to serve as a member of the Board and, beginning in fiscal 2027, will serve as a consultant to the Company in support of certain strategic growth pursuits.

Kathryn JohnBull. Ms. JohnBull brings deep public-company leadership experience, financial discipline, and a thorough understanding of the government services market to her new role. She joined DLH as Chief Financial Officer in 2012, and has been central to the Company’s growth, acquisition strategy, capital markets activities, financial operations, and investor engagement. We view Ms. JohnBull’s appointment positively, as not only does it provide continuity, but her in-depth knowledge of the Company and its industry is a strong positive.

Refer to the full report for the price target, fundamental analysis, and rating.

Overview. Fiscal 2026 is a transition year for DLH. The previously disclosed conversion of legacy contracts to small businesses continues to impact y-o-y results, but the transition of these contracts is expected to be complete in the Company’s third quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA totaled $5.33 million, or a 9.0% margin, compared to $9.38 million, or a 10.5% margin in 2Q25. We were at $4.95 million. DLH reported a net loss of $2.5 million, or $0.17/sh, in the quarter, compared to EPS of $878,000, or $0.06/sh, last year. We had projected a net loss of $2.25 million, or $0.16/sh.

Overview. Fiscal 2025, and the start of fiscal 2026, continued the loss of contracts to small business set asides. While the loss of the Head Start contract and the expected eventual loss of all of the CMOP locations is impacting operating results today, we believe the resolution of these set aside contracts removes a big overhang from the business and enables the Company to grow from a solid base of higher value-added technology-powered applications business.

4Q25. Revenue fell 15.8% y-o-y to $81.2 million, driven by the loss of CMOP locations, as well as other set aside contracts. Gross margin fell to 17.1% from 19.9% a year ago. DLH reported a net loss of $920,000, or a loss of $0.06/sh., compared with net income of $2.3 million, or EPS of $0.16, in 4Q24. Adjusted EBITDA fell to $6.6 million from $10.7 million. We were at $83.5 million, $250,000, $0.02/sh., and $8.15 million, respectively.

New Data. DLH filed an 8-K disclosing some preliminary financial data for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025, and updates on its CMOP (the good) and Head Start (not so good) contracts. Bad news first: DLH has lost the Head Start contract, which went to a small business. This contract generated $40 million of revenue in fiscal 2024 and $28.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2025. With the government shutdown ongoing, the status of protests from unsuccessful bidders is unclear.

CMOP. On the positive side, DLH has been awarded a sole-source ID/IQ to continue providing pharmacy and logistics services for 4 CMOP locations. The contract has a ceiling value of $90 million and has a maximum performance period through April 2027. The Company expects the quarterly revenue contribution from these contracts to be approximately $28 million, in-line with current revenue volume on this contract.
