TELOS CORPORATION

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. ORGANIZATION

Telos Corporation, together with its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company," "we," "our" or "Telos"), a Maryland corporation, is a leading provider of cyber, cloud and enterprise security solutions for the world's most security-conscious organizations. We own all of the issued and outstanding shares of Xacta Corporation and ubIQuity.com, inc. (a holding company for Xacta Corporation), and 100% ownership interest in Telos Identity Management Solutions, LLC ("Telos ID"), Teloworks, Inc., and Telos APAC Pte. Ltd. ("Telos APAC").

On March 13, 2024, the Board unanimously approved the dissolution of Telos APAC, a pre-operating foreign subsidiary, pursuant to a plan of complete liquidation and dissolution.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Principle of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Telos and its subsidiaries (see Note 1 – Organization), all of whose issued and outstanding share capital is wholly owned directly and indirectly by Telos Corporation. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Basis of Presentation for Interim Periods

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included for the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") have been condensed or omitted for the interim periods presented. We believe that the unaudited interim financial statements include all adjustments (which are normal and recurring) necessary for a fair statement of our financial position and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year or future periods. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2023, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year then ended. We have continued to follow the accounting policies set forth in those financial statements.

Basis of Comparison

Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Starting Q3 2023, we reclassified and presented depreciation and amortization separately from the cost of sales line items. Starting Q1 2024, we reclassified sales and marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses to be presented together as selling, general and administrative expenses. The reclassifications had no net impact on gross profit, total selling, general and administrative expenses or net loss in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations.

Use of Estimates

Preparing unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company regularly assesses these estimates; however, actual results could differ from those estimates. We base our estimates on historical experience, currently available information, and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances.

Management evaluates these estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis, including those relating to revenue recognition on cost estimation on certain contracts, allowance for credit losses, inventory obsolescence, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, income taxes, certain assumptions related to share-based compensation, valuation of intangible assets and goodwill, restructuring expenses accruals, and contingencies. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The impact of changes in estimates is recorded in the period in which they become known.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses include general and administrative expenses, as well as direct and indirect sales and marketing expenses. These costs consist primarily of compensation and benefits (including incentive-based compensation), advertising, facilities, and certain types of depreciation and amortization.

Table of Contents

Restructuring Expenses

In the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company committed to a restructuring plan to streamline its workforce and spending to better align its cost structure with its volume of business. The restructuring plan reduced the Company's workforce, with a majority of the affected employees separating from the business in early 2023. In connection with this restructuring plan, we incurred restructuring-related costs, including employee severance and related benefit costs. Employee severance and related benefit costs include cash payments, outplacement services and continuing health insurance coverage. Severance costs pursuant to ongoing-benefit arrangements are recognized when probable and reasonably estimated. Other related costs include external consulting and advisory fees related to implementing the restructuring plan. These costs are recognized at fair value in the period in which the costs are incurred.

The Company incurred a cumulative amount of $3.9 million of restructuring expenses, which is the total expected costs for this restructuring plan, as disclosed in the Company's recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. The restructuring actions were substantially completed in fiscal year 2023.

The restructuring expenses (adjustments) are included within "Selling, general and administrative expenses" on the Company's unaudited consolidated statements of operations.


Table 2.1: Restructuring Expenses (Adjustments)

At each reporting date, the Company evaluates its restructuring expense accrual to determine if the liabilities reported are still appropriate. Any changes in the estimated costs of executing the approved restructuring plan are reflected in the Company's unaudited consolidated statement of operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures." ASU 2023-07 will affect how we report segment information, starting with our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, and our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q starting with our quarterly report for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. This standard requires that we disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items that are regularly provided to our chief operating decision maker ("CODM") and included in each reported measure of segment profit or loss. We will also have to disclose other segment items by reportable segment (i.e., the difference between reported segment revenues less the significant segment expenses (which are disclosed) less reported segment profit or loss). We will disclose the CODM and their position within the Company and details about the information that they regularly review to make capital allocation and other operating decisions about each segment, as well as an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures and other disclosures. We are evaluating these new segment disclosure requirements and the impact of their adoption on our unaudited consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosure," which requires public entities, on an annual basis, (1) to disclosure specific categories in the rate reconciliation, and (2) to provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than 5% of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income (loss) by the applicable statutory income tax rate). This ASU will be effective, for public entities, for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this ASU on our unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

In addition, from time to time, new accounting standards are issued by the Financial Accounting Standard Board or other standard-setting bodies and are adopted by the Company as of the specified accounting date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that issued standards not yet effective will not have a material effect on its financial statements.

3. REVENUE RECOGNITION

We account for revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." The unit of account in ASC 606 is a performance obligation, which is a promise in a contract with a customer to transfer a good or service to the customer.

The majority of our revenue is recognized over time, as control is transferred continuously to our customers, who receive and consume benefits as we perform. Revenue transferred to customers over time accounted for 84% and 82% of our revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and 88% and 89% of our revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. All of our business groups earn services revenue under a variety of contract types, including time and materials, firm-fixed price, firm-fixed price level of effort, and cost-plus fixed fee contract types, which may include variable consideration.

For performance obligations in which control does not continuously transfer to the customer, we recognize revenue at the point in time when each performance obligation is fully satisfied. This coincides with the point in time the customer obtains control of the product or service, which typically occurs upon customer acceptance or receipt of the product or service, given that we maintain control of the product or service until that point. Revenue transferred to customers at a point in time accounted for 16% and 18% of our revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and 12% and 11% of our revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

Orders for the sale of software licenses may contain multiple performance obligations, such as maintenance, training, or consulting services, which are typically delivered over time, consistent with the transfer of control disclosed above for the provision of services. When an order contains multiple performance obligations, we allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations based on the standalone selling price of the product or service underlying each performance obligation. The standalone selling price represents the amount we would sell the product or service to a customer on a standalone basis.

For certain performance obligations where we are not primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the goods or services to the customer, do not have inventory risk and have limited discretion in establishing the price for the goods or services, we recognize revenue on a net basis.

Our contracts may include various types of variable considerations and may include estimated amounts in the transaction price, based on all of the information available to us, and to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when any uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. We evaluate and include these estimated amounts of variable consideration in the transaction price and as performance on these contracts is complete, we adjust our revenue, when deemed necessary. No revenue adjustments were recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023.

We provide for anticipated losses on contracts during the period when the loss is determined by recording an expense for the total expected costs that exceeds the total estimated revenue for a performance obligation. No contract loss was recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2024. We recorded an immaterial contract loss during the six months ended June 30, 2024. No contract loss was recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

In addition to our segment reporting, as further discussed in Note 16 – Segment Information, we disaggregate our revenues by customer and contract types. We treat sales to U.S. customers as sales within the U.S., regardless of where the services are performed. Substantially most of our revenues are generated from U.S. customers, while international customers are de minimis; as such, the financial information by geographic location is not presented.

The changes in the Company's contract assets and contract liabilities during the current period were primarily the result of the timing differences between the Company's performance, invoicing and customer payments. Revenue recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, which was included in the contract liabilities balance at the beginning of each reporting period, was $1.9 million and $4.5 million, respectively. Revenue recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, which was included in the contract liabilities balance at the beginning of each reporting period, was $1.6 million and $4.1 million, respectively.

As of June 30, 2024, we had approximately $31.2 million of remaining performance obligations, which we also refer to as funded backlog. We expect to recognize approximately 92% of our remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months, and the balance thereafter.

As our primary customer base includes agencies of the U.S. government, we have a concentration of credit risk associated with our accounts receivable, as 90% and 91% of our billed and unbilled accounts receivable as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, were directly with U.S. government customers. While we acknowledge the potential material and adverse risk of such a significant concentration of credit risk, our past experience collecting substantially all of such receivables provides us with an informed basis that such risk, if any, is manageable. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of all of our customers and generally do not require collateral or other guarantees from our customers. We maintain allowances for potential losses.

10. DEBT AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS

Revolving Credit Facility

On December 30, 2022, we entered into a Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), by and among the Company, as borrower, Xacta Corporation, ubIQuity.com, inc., Teloworks, Inc., and Telos Identity Management Solutions, LLC, as guarantors, the lenders party thereto (the "Lenders"), and JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A., as administrative agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, the "Agent"). The Credit Agreement provides for a $30.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility with a maturity date of December 30, 2025, with the option of issuing letters of credit thereunder with a sub-limit of $5.0 million, and with an uncommitted expansion feature of up to $30.0 million of additional revolver capacity (the "Loan"). The Loan is subject to acceleration in the event of customary events of default. The Company has not drawn any amount under the Loan.

Table of Contents

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement will accrue interest, at our option, at one of three variable rates, plus a specified margin. We can elect to borrow at (i) the Alternative Base Rate, plus 0.9%; (ii) Adjusted Daily Simple Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), plus 1.9%; and (iii) Adjusted Term SOFR, plus 1.9%, as such capitalized terms are defined and calculated in the Credit Agreement. The Company may elect to convert borrowings from one type of borrowing to another type per the terms of the Credit Agreement. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any event of default, the interest rate may increase by an additional 2.0%. We are obligated to pay accrued interest (i) with respect to amounts accruing interest based on the Alternative Base Rate, each calendar quarter and on the maturity date, (ii) with respect to amounts accruing interest based on Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR, on each one-month anniversary of the borrowing and on the maturity date, and (iii) with respect to amounts accruing interest based on Adjusted Term SOFR, at the end of the period specified per the Credit Agreement and on the maturity date. Upon five, three, or one day's prior notice, as applicable, we may prepay any portion or the entire amount of the Loan. We also paid costs and customary fees, including a closing fee, commitment fees and letter of credit participation fee, if any, payable to the Agent and Lenders, as applicable, in connection with the Loan.

The Loan under the Credit Agreement is collateralized by substantially all of the Company's assets, including the Company's pledge of its domestic and material foreign subsidiary equity interests.

The Loan has various covenants that may, among other things, affect our ability to create, incur, assume or suffer any indebtedness, merge into or consolidate with another entity, acquire entity interests, sell or transfer certain assets, enter into certain arrangements (such as sale and leaseback and swap agreements) or restrictive agreements, pay dividends and make certain restricted payments, and amend material documents related to any subordinated indebtedness and corporate agreements. The Credit Agreement also requires certain financial covenants to maintain a Senior Leverage Ratio on the last day of any fiscal quarter, no greater than 3 to 1. We were in compliance with all covenants as of June 30, 2024.

The occurrence of an event of default under the Credit Agreement could result in the Loan and other obligations becoming immediately due and payable and allow the Lenders to exercise all rights and remedies available to them under the Credit Agreement.

On April 12, 2023, the Credit Agreement was amended to exclude from collateral the (i) amount collectible from a third party related to an Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement and (ii) receivables generated by the Company from the sale of goods supplied to this third party in an amount not to exceed $25.0 million.

Other Financing Obligations

We entered into a Master Purchase Agreement ("MPA") with a third-party buyer ("Buyer") for $9.1 million relating to software licenses under a specific delivery order ("DO") with our customer, resulting in proceeds from other financing obligations of $9.1 million in November 2022. Under the MPA, we sold, assigned and transferred all of our rights, title and interest in (i) the DO payments from the customer and (ii) the underlying licenses. The DO covers a base period with an option for the customer to exercise three (3) additional 12-month periods through January 2026. The DO payments assigned to the Buyer are billable to the customer at the beginning of the base period and for each option year exercised. The underlying licenses were acquired for resale.

On February 9, 2023, the customer notified us that it would not exercise the first option period under the DO. The MPA provides that, if the customer terminates the DO for non-renewal and the Buyer reasonably concludes that the customer's actions constitute grounds for filing a claim with the customer's contracting officer, the Buyer and Telos will cooperate in preparing such a claim, which would be filed in Telos' name. The buyer has notified Telos of its intent to pursue a claim against the customer.

Concurrently, the Company transferred all the rights, title and interest in the underlying licenses in exchange for the extinguishment of the outstanding financing obligations. The Company evaluated the transfer of the underlying licenses as consideration paid for the outstanding financing obligations under ASC 470-10, Debt, and the provisions of the MPA, and concluded that the transaction resulted in an extinguishment of debt. The Company recorded the difference between the carrying value of the Company's debt instrument and the underlying licenses as a gain on early extinguishment of other financing obligations. No gain was reported for the three months ended June 30, 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company reported a gain of $1.4 million, which was recorded as "Other income" in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations.

11. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company grants stock-based compensation awards under the Amended and Restated 2016 Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "2016 LTIP"). We have granted stock options, restricted stock units with time-based vesting ("RSUs") and restricted stock units with performance-based vesting ("PSUs"). Awards granted under the 2016 LTIP vest over the periods determined by the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, which has the discretion to establish the terms, conditions and criteria of the various awards. The RSUs granted to eligible employees generally vest in installments over a period of up to three years. PSUs will vest upon the achievement of a defined performance target or market conditions for the Company's common stock or certain operational milestones over a prescribed period.

Table of Contents

On May 21, 2024, the Company authorized an additional 8,500,000 shares to be available under the 2016 LTIP, increasing the total number of shares available for issuance under the 2016 LTIP to 21,959,913 shares.

On May 16, 2024, the Company granted PSUs that could be settled in up to 1,335,281 shares of its common stock to certain senior executives and employees that will vest upon achieving certain operational milestones prior to January 1, 2027.

On May 28, 2024, the Company granted certain PSUs to certain senior executives and employees that could settle in up to 2,499,945 shares of its common stock. These PSUs may vest only if the Company achieves certain revenue and free cash flow targets for fiscal year 2025. The Company also granted certain PSUs containing market conditions to certain executives that could settle in up to 6,875,000 shares of its common stock. These PSUs with market conditions may vest, in whole or in part, only if the Company's closing common stock price remains at or above certain specified stock prices for 50 consecutive calendar days prior to January 1, 2027.

The Company estimates the fair value for each tranche of the stock-based compensation awards subject to market conditions on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model. Monte Carlo approaches are a class of computational algorithms that rely on repeated random sampling to compute their results. This approach allows the calculation of the value of such PSUs based on a large number of possible stock price path scenarios. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. treasury zero-coupon issues in effect at the time of grant over the performance period. The expense for these awards is recognized over the derived service period as determined through the Monte Carlo simulation model.

Our key assumptions include a performance period of 2.59 years, an expected volatility of 83.9%, and a risk-free rate of 4.7%. The fair value for these market condition PSUs at the grant date ranges between $2.62 - $3.75, and the derived service periods ranges between 0.63 - 1.31 years.

Stock-based compensation expense for these performance-based awards whose vesting is subject to the achievement of performance targets and fulfillment of the market conditions described above is recognized over the requisite service period for each tranche on a graded-vesting basis at the time the achievement of the condition becomes probable.

Stock-based compensation expense recognized for restricted stock units and stock options granted to employees and non-employees is included in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations, net of adjustments. There were no income tax benefits recognized on the share-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the performance targets for outstanding PSUs granted prior to 2024 were not probable of being achieved. Therefore, the Company recorded a cumulative catch-up adjustment for the change in its probability assessment, resulting in a $1.2 million decrease in stock-based compensation expense.

As of June 30, 2024, the intrinsic value of the RSUs and PSUs outstanding, exercisable, and vested or expected to vest was $52.1 million. There was approximately $30.4 million of total compensation costs related to stock-based awards not yet recognized as of June 30, 2024, which is expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis over a weighted-average remaining vesting period of 1.2 years.

The aggregate intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying stock option awards and the quoted closing price of the Company's common stock as of June 30, 2024.

The fair value of the stock options, including the stock options granted to directors, is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of one year, as the annual stockholders meeting is expected to occur at the same approximate time each year.

As of June 30, 2024, there were no unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested stock options.

12. SHARE REPURCHASES

On May 24, 2022, the Company announced that the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program ("SRP") authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $50.0 million of its common stock. Pursuant to this authorization, the Company may repurchase shares of its common stock on a discretionary basis from time to time through open market purchases. The repurchase program has no expiration date and may be modified, suspended, or terminated at any time.

There were no share repurchases during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023. As of June 30, 2024, there was approximately $38.7 million of the authorization remaining for future common stock repurchases under the SRP.

13. ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE LOSS

For one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, the functional currency is the local currency. For this subsidiary, the translation of its foreign currency into U.S. dollars is performed for assets and liabilities using current foreign currency exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using average foreign currency exchange rates during the periods presented. Translation gains and losses are included in stockholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income.

15. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Emmett J. Wood, the brother of our Chairman and CEO, had been an employee of the Company since 1996. In January 2023, he tendered his resignation as an employee effective February 7, 2023. The amount paid to him as compensation for his remaining tenure in 2023 was $249,000.

One of the Company’s directors served as a consultant to the Company under a consultancy agreement that expired on December 31, 2023. The Company, at its election, paid the director's 2023 consultancy fees in a fixed amount, in the form of RSUs. On January 3, 2023, the Company granted the director 16,859 RSUs for his consulting services through June 30, 2023, one-half of which vested on March 3, 2023, and the other half vested on May 18, 2023. Beginning in July 2023, the director was paid a firm-fixed monthly retainer fee, plus additional fees and contingent bonus payments upon achievement of certain contract goals, payable in cash through the expiration of the agreement.

16. SEGMENT INFORMATION

We operate our business in two reportable and operating segments: Security Solutions and Secure Networks. These segments enable the alignment of our strategies and objectives and provide a framework for the timely and rational allocation of resources within the business lines.

Our Security Solutions segment is primarily focused on cybersecurity, cloud and identity solutions, and secure messaging through Xacta®, Telos Ghost®, Telos Advanced Cyber Analytics ("Telos ACATM"), Telos Automated Message Handling System ("Telos AMHS") and Telos ID offerings. We recognize revenue on contracts from providing various system platforms in the cloud, on-premises, and in hybrid cloud environments, as well as software sales or software-as-a-service. Revenue associated with the segment's custom solutions is recognized as work progresses or upon delivery of services and products. Fluctuation in revenue from period to period is the result of the volume of software sales, and the progress or completion of cloud or cybersecurity solutions during the period. The majority of the operating costs relate to labor, material, and overhead costs. Software sales have immaterial operation costs associated with them, thus yielding higher margins. Gross profit and margin are a function of operational efficiency on security solutions and changes in the volume of software sales.

Our Secure Networks segment provides secure networking architectures and solutions to our customers through secure mobility solutions, and network management and defense services. Revenue is recognized over time as the work progresses on contracts related to managing network services and information delivery. Contract costs include labor, material, and overhead costs. Variances in costs recognized from period to period primarily reflect increases and decreases in activity levels on individual contracts.

We measure each segment's profitability based on gross profit. We account for inter-segment sales and transfers as if the sales or transfers were to third parties, that is, at current market prices. Interest income, interest expense, other income and expense items, and income taxes, as reported in the consolidated financial statements, are not part of the segment profitability measure and are primarily recorded at the corporate level.

Management does not utilize total assets by segment to evaluate segment performance or allocate resources. As a result, assets are not tracked by segment, and therefore, total assets by segment are not disclosed.

17. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company may be a party to litigation or claims arising in the ordinary course of business, including those relating to employment matters, relationships with clients and contractors, intellectual property disputes, and other business matters. These legal proceedings seek various remedies, including claims for monetary damages in varying amounts, none of which are considered material, or are unspecified as to amount. Although the outcome of any such matter is inherently uncertain and may be materially adverse, based on current information, management believes that the outcome of such known matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business or its unaudited consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2024.

Other - Government Contracts

As a U.S. government contractor, we are subject to various audits and investigations by the U.S. government to determine whether our operations are being conducted in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements. U.S. government investigations of our operations, whether relating to government contracts or conducted for other reasons, could result in administrative, civil, or criminal liabilities, including repayments, fines or penalties being imposed upon us, suspension, proposed debarment, debarment from eligibility for future U.S. government contracting, or suspension of export privileges. Suspension or debarment could have a material adverse effect on us because of our dependence on contracts with the U.S. government. U.S. government investigations often take years to complete and many result in no adverse action against us. We also provide products and services to customers outside of the United States, which are subject to U.S. and foreign laws and regulations and foreign procurement policies and practices. Our compliance with local regulations or applicable U.S. government regulations also may be audited or investigated.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, the words "believes," "anticipates," "plans," "expects," and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Several important factors could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements. These factors include, without limitation, those set forth in the risk factors section included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 15, 2024.

General and Business Overview

We offer technologically advanced, software-based security solutions that empower and protect the world's most security-conscious organizations against rapidly evolving, sophisticated and pervasive threats. Our portfolio of security products, services and expertise empowers our customers with capabilities to reach new markets, serve their stakeholders more effectively, and successfully defend the nation or their enterprise. We protect our customers' people, information, and digital assets so they can pursue their corporate goals and conduct their global missions with confidence in their security and privacy. Our primary customers include the U.S. federal government, large commercial businesses, state and local governments, and international customers. Our consolidated revenue is largely attributable to prime contracts or to subcontracts with our contractors engaged in work for the U.S. government, with the remaining attributable to state, local, and commercial markets.

Information regarding our two reportable segments – Security Solutions and Secure Networks – is presented in Note 16 - Segment Information to the unaudited consolidated financial statements at Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

The restructuring initiatives carried out by the Company in fiscal year 2023 are exhibiting promising outcomes in fiscal year 2024 in the form of new business wins. The Company will continue to focus on optimizing its solution portfolio, expanding its business pipeline, strengthening proposals for new business and building a healthy culture by engaging employees through improved synergy, performance management, and benefits. With this foundation established, the Company's priorities for fiscal year 2024 include beginning to execute on significant new business wins with our prime partners (pending favorable outcomes on ongoing protests), ramping TSA PreCheck® enrollment sites to achieve program growth, and strategically increasing the Company's business development pipeline.

Business Environment

U.S. Budget

After using continuing resolutions (“CRs”) to fund the government for the first six months of fiscal year (“FY”) 2024 at the previous year’s levels, Congress completed action in late March on all appropriations bills for FY2024. This has allowed federal departments and agencies to begin proceeding with new program starts and acceleration for the final six months of the fiscal year. With the enactment of the Fiscal Responsibility Act ("FRA"), appropriations bills were marked up in the House and Senate in June and July. The FRA caps total base discretionary spending at $1.6 trillion for FY 2024, with base defense spending capped at $886 billion (a three percent increase from FY 2023) and base non-defense spending capped at $704 billion (up to a nine percent decrease from FY 2023, depending on how it is measured).

There will be debate in Congress on whether to adjust the spending caps in order to boost defense spending to meet increased challenges abroad. Of interest, the Senate passed a package of national security-oriented bills passed by the House on April 20, 2024, that provided supplemental appropriations for Israel, Ukraine, and the Indo-Pacific, as well as a fourth bill that addressed sanctions and other economic concerns. Three of the four bills being considered provide roughly $96 billion in new budget authority. The proposed budget also calls for new increases in funding for non-defense cybersecurity programs and initiatives, many of which continue to prioritize accelerated cloud adoption, IT modernization, further private sector collaboration for sector risk management responsibilities, ensuring adequate cyber threat information sharing, and supply chain risk management. These priorities continue to align with the solutions Telos has been developing and bringing to market for the past several years. However, in the current political environment in Congress and with the presidential election looming in November 2024, it is highly questionable whether Congress and the President can reach an agreement on FY2025 appropriations bills prior to the start of FY2025 on October 1, 2024; this means the Defense Department along with the rest of the federal government will likely begin the fiscal year funded by a CR at FY2024 spending levels.

Cybersecurity Landscape

In recent years, we have seen cybersecurity threats become more complex, with threat actors leveraging a wide variety of tactics to exploit their victims. With this growing threat, below are some trends to consider when looking at the cybersecurity landscape:

Rising Threats, Rising Liability: Ransomware remains arguably the most severe cyber threat to enterprises in the commercial, state, and local government and education sectors. One reason for the rise of ransomware attacks is that it is exceedingly profitable for cybercriminals, and ransomware victims generally settle the ransom rather than restoring the system from backups or dealing with the fallout from a data breach. Aside from the financial costs of paying the ransom and restoring the system, the consequences of a successful ransomware attack can include damage to the organization's reputation, stolen sensitive data being used for malicious purposes, and loss of business.

The Nation's Critical Systems Are Still at Risk: Critical infrastructure and industrial IoT are among the categories at greatest risk of cyberattacks.

The Challenging Complexity of Regulatory Compliance: Government mandates stronger security in highly regulated industries. These government initiatives and audit fatigue continue to burden highly regulated organizations, with automation solutions being recognized as the most effective remedy for the many repetitive and redundant tasks that security compliance requires.

Additionally, the SEC has finalized and adopted new cybersecurity rules for publicly traded companies, which (if they survive challenges in court) will require registrants to disclose additional cyber-related information in their regulatory filings. Specifically, registrants will have to: (1) regularly disclose their governance methods, risk analysis and management processes; (2) meet specific disclosure requirements and deadlines for reporting and describing material cyber incidents; and (3) describe the board's oversight of risks from cybersecurity threats, and management's expertise and role in assessing and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats. The required reporting of this information will lead many companies to proactively establish policies that will improve their cyber risk management posture and enable them to better withstand heightened public and regulatory scrutiny.

Identity Assurance and Privacy Protection are Essential for Today's Enterprises: Identity and access management continues to be a major cybersecurity concern for organizations and individuals that need to ensure their security and protect their privacy. Trusted identities are essential to confidence in IT and physical security strategies and to the success of Zero Trust security models and architectures.

Artificial Intelligence: Cybercriminals are using Artificial Intelligence ("AI") to launch more sophisticated attacks that can quickly adapt to changing environments, making detection harder. To protect against AI-powered cyberattacks, organizations must stay vigilant and adopt advanced cybersecurity tools and techniques that can detect and respond to these threats in a timely manner before they cause damage.

Financial Overview

A number of factors have contributed to our second quarter ended June 30, 2024 results of operations, the most significant of which are described below. More details on these changes are presented below within our "Results of Operations" section.

•Decline in year-over-year revenue primarily driven by successful completion and ramp down of programs in Secure Networks.

•Growth in TSA PreCheck revenue driven by the increase in our TSA PreCheck enrollment locations.

•Reduction in gross margins primarily driven by the impact of increased amortization of software development costs.

•Lower operating costs primarily due to lower stock-based compensation expenses.

Consolidated Results

Our business segments have different factors driving revenue fluctuations and profitability. The discussion of the changes in our revenue and profitability are covered in greater detail in the following section, "Segment Results." We generate revenue from the delivery of products and services to our customers. Cost of sales, for both products and services, consists of labor, materials, subcontracting costs and an allocation of indirect costs.

R&D expenses.

In the second quarter of 2024, R&D expenses decreased by $1.2 million, or 44.9%, compared to the same quarter in 2023. Similarly, R&D expenses decreased by $0.9 million, or 15.5%, for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same period in the prior year. The decreases in R&D expenses for both periods were primarily due to the completion of certain development projects in 2023 and lower stock-based compensation expenses, partially offset by lower capitalization and higher amortization expense.

SG&A expenses.

SG&A expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024 decreased by $2.3 million, or 11.9%, compared to the same period in 2023. Likewise, SG&A expenses decreased by $9.7 million, or 22.6%, for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same period in the prior year. The decreases in SG&A expense for both periods were primarily due to the decline in stock-based compensation costs, depreciation and amortization expenses, and outside services, partially offset by an increase in labor costs.

In addition, there were $1.2 million of restructuring expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2023, with no similar charges in 2024.

Other income.

Other income decreased by $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, due to the change in dividend income from money market placements.

Other income for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $2.3 million as compared to $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the gain on early extinguishment of other financing obligations of $1.4 million in fiscal year 2023, without a similar gain in fiscal year 2024. The remaining variance is attributable to the change in dividend income from money market placements.

Gross margin	40.7		%	55.5		%	43.5		%	53.6		%

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, Security Solutions segment revenue slightly increased by $0.7 million, or 3.9%, compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to the growth in TSA PreCheck, partially offset by contraction elsewhere in the portfolio.

Security Solutions segment revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024, slightly decreased by $0.5 million, or 1.2%, compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to the reductions in two large programs, partially offset by the growth in TSA PreCheck.

Security Solutions gross profit for the second quarter of 2024 decreased by $2.3 million, or 23.9%, compared with the same period in 2023. Likewise, segment gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2024, decreased by $3.9 million, or 19.8%, compared to the same period in 2023. In addition, Security Solution gross margin for the second quarter of 2024 decreased from 55.5% to 40.7%, while year to date segment gross margin decreased from 53.6% to 43.5%. The decrease in gross profit and gross margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, was primarily due to the increased amortization of software development costs and program mix within the portfolio.

Secure Networks segment revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024, decreased by $5.1 million, or 32.4%, compared to the same period in 2023. Likewise, Secure Network segment revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024 decreased by $9.6 million, or 30.7%, compared to the same period in 2023. The decrease in revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, is primarily due to the successful completion and ramp down of programs.

Gross profit for Secure Networks slightly decreased by $0.4 million, or 13.0%, for the second quarter of 2024, compared with the same period in 2023. Segment gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2024, decreased by $1.2 million, or 20.6%, compared to the same period in 2023. The change in gross profit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, is primarily due to lower revenue, partially offset by improved margin across the portfolio.

Secure Networks gross margin increased to 23.0% for the second quarter of 2024 from 17.9% for the same period in 2023. Likewise, segment gross margin in the first half of 2024 increased from 19.3% in 2023 to 22.1% in 2024. The gross margin expansion, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, is primarily due to strong program management and favorable program mix.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we believe the non-GAAP financial measures of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net (Loss) Income, Adjusted Earnings Per Share ("EPS"), Cash Gross Profit, Cash Gross Margin and Free Cash Flow are useful in evaluating our operating performance. We believe that this non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively with our GAAP results, may be helpful to readers of our financial statements because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance and assists in comparisons with other companies, some of which use similar non-GAAP financial information to supplement their GAAP results. The non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from similarly-titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies. A reconciliation is provided below for each of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP.

We believe these non-GAAP financial measures facilitate comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis between periods by excluding certain items that may, or could, have a disproportionately positive or negative impact on our results of operations in any particular period. When viewed in combination with our results prepared in accordance with GAAP, these non-GAAP financial measures help provide a broader picture of factors and trends affecting our results of operations.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA Margin and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA Margin and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are supplemental measures of operating performance that are not made under GAAP and do not represent, and should not be considered as, an alternative to net loss as determined by GAAP. We define EBITDA as net (loss) income, adjusted for non-operating (income) expense, interest expense, provision for (benefit from) income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA, adjusted for stock-based compensation expense and restructuring expenses. We define EBITDA Margin as EBITDA as a percentage of total revenue. We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenue.

We believe that EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin provide the Board, management and investors with clear representation of our core operating performance and trends, provide greater visibility into the long-term financial performance of the Company, and eliminate the impact of items that do not relate to the ongoing operating performance of the business. Further, Adjusted EBITDA is used by the Board and management to prepare and approve our annual budget, and to evaluate the performance of certain management personnel when determining incentive compensation.

(1) The stock-based compensation expense to EBITDA is made up of stock-based compensation expense for the awarded RSUs, PSUs, and stock options, and other sources. Stock-based compensation expense for the awarded RSUs, PSUs and stock options was $2.4 million and $4.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and $5.7 million and $13.6 million, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. Stock-based compensation (adjustments) expense from other sources was $(0.2) million and $1.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively and $2.1 million and $3.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. The other sources of stock-based compensation consist of accrued compensation, which the Company intends to settle in shares of the Company's common stock. However, it is the Company’s discretion whether this compensation will ultimately be paid in stock or cash. The Company has the right to dictate the form of these payments up until the date at which they are paid. Any change to the expected payment form would result in out of quarter adjustments to this add back to Adjusted EBITDA.

(2) The restructuring (adjustments) expenses include severance and other related benefit costs (including outplacement services and continuing health insurance coverage), external consulting and advisory fees related to implementing the restructuring plan.

Adjusted Net (Loss) Income and Adjusted EPS

Adjusted Net (Loss) Income and Adjusted EPS are supplemental measures of operating performance that are not made under GAAP and do not represent, and should not be considered as, alternatives to net (loss) income as determined by GAAP. We define Adjusted Net (Loss) Income as net loss, adjusted for non-operating (income) expense, stock-based compensation expense and restructuring expense. We define Adjusted EPS as Adjusted Net (Loss) Income divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period.

Adjusted Net (Loss) Income and Adjusted EPS provide the Board, management and investors with clear representation of our core operating performance and trends, provide greater visibility into the long-term financial performance of the Company, and eliminate the impact of items that do not relate to the ongoing operating performance of the business.

(1) The stock-based compensation expense to net loss is made up of stock-based compensation expense for the awarded RSUs, PSUs, and stock options, and other sources. Stock-based compensation expense for the awarded RSUs, PSUs and stock options was $2.4 million and $4.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and $5.7 million and $13.6 million, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. Stock-based compensation (adjustments) expense from other sources was $(0.2) million and $1.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively and $2.1 million and $3.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. The other sources of stock-based compensation consist of accrued compensation, which the Company intends to settle in shares of the Company's common stock. However, it is the Company’s discretion whether this compensation will ultimately be paid in stock or cash. The Company has the right to dictate the form of these payments up until the date at which they are paid. Any change to the expected payment form would result in out of quarter adjustments to this add back to Adjusted Net (Loss) Income.

Cash Gross Profit and Cash Gross Margin

Cash Gross Profit and Cash Gross Margin are supplemental measures of operating performance that are not made under GAAP and do not represent, and should not be considered as, alternatives to gross profit and gross margin as determined by GAAP. We define Cash Gross Profit as gross profit, plus noncash charges for stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, as well as non-recurring items (such as restructuring expenses) charged under cost of sales. We define Cash Gross Margin as Cash Gross Profit as a percentage of total revenue.

Cash Gross Profit and Cash Gross Margin provide management and investors a clear representation of the core economics of gross profit and gross margin without the impact of non-cash expenses and sunk costs expended.

Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow, as reconciled in the table below, is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, less purchases of property and equipment, and capitalized software development costs. This non-GAAP financial measure may be a useful measure for investors and other users of our financial statements as a supplemental measure of our cash performance and to assess the quality of our earnings as a key performance measure in evaluating management.

We use Free Cash Flow to understand the cash flows that directly correspond with our operations and the investments we must make in those operations, using a methodology that combines operating cash flows and capital expenditures. Further, Free Cash Flow may be useful to management and investors in evaluating the Company's operating performance and liquidity, and to evaluate the performance of certain management personnel when determining incentive compensation.

Each of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net (Loss) Income, Adjusted EPS, Cash Gross Profit, Cash Gross Margin and Free Cash Flow has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider any of them in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Among other limitations, each of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net (Loss) Income, Adjusted EPS, Cash Gross Profit, Cash Gross Margin and Free Cash Flow does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments, does not reflect the impact of certain cash and non-cash charges resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations, and does not reflect income tax expense or benefit. Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net (Loss) Income, Adjusted EPS, Cash Gross Profit, Cash Gross Margin and Free Cash Flow differently than we do, which limits their usefulness as comparative measures. Because of these limitations, neither EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net (Loss) Income, Adjusted EPS, Cash Gross Profit, Cash Gross Margin nor Free Cash Flow should be considered as a replacement for gross profit, gross margin, net (loss) income, earnings per share or net cash flows (used in) provided by operating activities, as determined by GAAP, or as a measure of our profitability. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using non-GAAP measures only for supplemental purposes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash on hand, future operating cash flows, and, if needed, borrowings under our $30.0 million revolving credit facility, with an available expansion feature of up to $30.0 million of additional revolver facility. While a variety of factors related to sources and uses of cash, such as timeliness of accounts receivable collections, vendor credit terms, or significant collateral requirements, ultimately impact our liquidity, such factors may or may not have a direct impact on our liquidity.

As of June 30, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $80.1 million and our working capital was $87.0 million.

We place a strong emphasis on liquidity management. This focus gives us the flexibility for capital deployment while preserving a strong balance sheet to position us for future opportunities. We believe we have adequate funds on hand to execute our financial and operating strategy. Our overall financial position and liquidity are strong. Although no assurances can be given, we believe the available cash balances and access to our revolving credit facility are sufficient to maintain the liquidity we require to meet our operating, investing and financing needs for the next 12 months.

Cash Flow

Net cash used in financing activities	(1,168)		(3,176)
Net change in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash	$	(19,155)	$	(15,857)

Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024, was $8.3 million, an increase of $4.1 million compared to the same period in 2023. The change is primarily driven by the Company's operating losses, the timing of receipts of customer payments, the timing of payments to vendors and employees, and the timing of inventory turnover, adjusted for certain non-cash items that do not impact cash flows from operating activities.

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024, increased by $1.2 million, compared to the same period of the prior year, primarily due to the cash outflow from the purchase of an investment of $3.0 million in 2024, with no similar transaction in 2023. This is partially offset by a decrease in capital expenditures in 2024.

Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024, decreased by $2.0 million, compared to the same period in 2023. This is primarily attributable to the decreases in payment of tax withholding related to net share settlement of equity awards of $0.4 million in the first half of 2024, compared with $1.6 million in the same period of 2023, and a $0.6 million payment for the Diamond Fortress Technologies ("DFT") holdback in February 2023, with no similar payment in 2024.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires us to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The 2023 Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on March 15, 2024, includes a summary of critical accounting policies we believe are the most important to aid in understanding our financial results. There have been no changes to those critical accounting policies that have had a material impact on our reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, or expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")), which are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act, including this Report, are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.

DEBT AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS	6 Months Ended
DEBT AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS	Jun. 30, 2024
Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
DEBT AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS	DEBT AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS Revolving Credit Facility On December 30, 2022, we entered into a Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), by and among the Company, as borrower, Xacta Corporation, ubIQuity.com, inc., Teloworks, Inc., and Telos Identity Management Solutions, LLC, as guarantors, the lenders party thereto (the "Lenders"), and JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A., as administrative agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, the "Agent"). The Credit Agreement provides for a $30.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility with a maturity date of December 30, 2025, with the option of issuing letters of credit thereunder with a sub-limit of $5.0 million, and with an uncommitted expansion feature of up to $30.0 million of additional revolver capacity (the "Loan"). The Loan is subject to acceleration in the event of customary events of default. The Company has not drawn any amount under the Loan. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement will accrue interest, at our option, at one of three variable rates, plus a specified margin. We can elect to borrow at (i) the Alternative Base Rate, plus 0.9%; (ii) Adjusted Daily Simple Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), plus 1.9%; and (iii) Adjusted Term SOFR, plus 1.9%, as such capitalized terms are defined and calculated in the Credit Agreement. The Company may elect to convert borrowings from one type of borrowing to another type per the terms of the Credit Agreement. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any event of default, the interest rate may increase by an additional 2.0%. We are obligated to pay accrued interest (i) with respect to amounts accruing interest based on the Alternative Base Rate, each calendar quarter and on the maturity date, (ii) with respect to amounts accruing interest based on Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR, on each one-month anniversary of the borrowing and on the maturity date, and (iii) with respect to amounts accruing interest based on Adjusted Term SOFR, at the end of the period specified per the Credit Agreement and on the maturity date. Upon five, three, or one day's prior notice, as applicable, we may prepay any portion or the entire amount of the Loan. We also paid costs and customary fees, including a closing fee, commitment fees and letter of credit participation fee, if any, payable to the Agent and Lenders, as applicable, in connection with the Loan. The Loan under the Credit Agreement is collateralized by substantially all of the Company's assets, including the Company's pledge of its domestic and material foreign subsidiary equity interests. The Loan has various covenants that may, among other things, affect our ability to create, incur, assume or suffer any indebtedness, merge into or consolidate with another entity, acquire entity interests, sell or transfer certain assets, enter into certain arrangements (such as sale and leaseback and swap agreements) or restrictive agreements, pay dividends and make certain restricted payments, and amend material documents related to any subordinated indebtedness and corporate agreements. The Credit Agreement also requires certain financial covenants to maintain a Senior Leverage Ratio on the last day of any fiscal quarter, no greater than 3 to 1. We were in compliance with all covenants as of June 30, 2024. The occurrence of an event of default under the Credit Agreement could result in the Loan and other obligations becoming immediately due and payable and allow the Lenders to exercise all rights and remedies available to them under the Credit Agreement. On April 12, 2023, the Credit Agreement was amended to exclude from collateral the (i) amount collectible from a third party related to an Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement and (ii) receivables generated by the Company from the sale of goods supplied to this third party in an amount not to exceed $25.0 million. Other Financing Obligations We entered into a Master Purchase Agreement ("MPA") with a third-party buyer ("Buyer") for $9.1 million relating to software licenses under a specific delivery order ("DO") with our customer, resulting in proceeds from other financing obligations of $9.1 million in November 2022. Under the MPA, we sold, assigned and transferred all of our rights, title and interest in (i) the DO payments from the customer and (ii) the underlying licenses. The DO covers a base period with an option for the customer to exercise three (3) additional 12-month periods through January 2026. The DO payments assigned to the Buyer are billable to the customer at the beginning of the base period and for each option year exercised. The underlying licenses were acquired for resale. On February 9, 2023, the customer notified us that it would not exercise the first option period under the DO. The MPA provides that, if the customer terminates the DO for non-renewal and the Buyer reasonably concludes that the customer's actions constitute grounds for filing a claim with the customer's contracting officer, the Buyer and Telos will cooperate in preparing such a claim, which would be filed in Telos' name. The buyer has notified Telos of its intent to pursue a claim against the customer. Concurrently, the Company transferred all the rights, title and interest in the underlying licenses in exchange for the extinguishment of the outstanding financing obligations. The Company evaluated the transfer of the underlying licenses as consideration paid for the outstanding financing obligations under ASC 470-10, Debt, and the provisions of the MPA, and concluded that the transaction resulted in an extinguishment of debt. The Company recorded the difference between the carrying value of the Company's debt instrument and the underlying licenses as a gain on early extinguishment of other financing obligations. No gain was reported for the three months ended June 30, 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company reported a gain of $1.4 million, which was recorded as "Other income" in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Legal Proceedings From time to time, the Company may be a party to litigation or claims arising in the ordinary course of business, including those relating to employment matters, relationships with clients and contractors, intellectual property disputes, and other business matters. These legal proceedings seek various remedies, including claims for monetary damages in varying amounts, none of which are considered material, or are unspecified as to amount. Although the outcome of any such matter is inherently uncertain and may be materially adverse, based on current information, management believes that the outcome of such known matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business or its unaudited consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2024. Other - Government Contracts As a U.S. government contractor, we are subject to various audits and investigations by the U.S. government to determine whether our operations are being conducted in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements. U.S. government investigations of our operations, whether relating to government contracts or conducted for other reasons, could result in administrative, civil, or criminal liabilities, including repayments, fines or penalties being imposed upon us, suspension, proposed debarment, debarment from eligibility for future U.S. government contracting, or suspension of export privileges. Suspension or debarment could have a material adverse effect on us because of our dependence on contracts with the U.S. government. U.S. government investigations often take years to complete and many result in no adverse action against us. We also provide products and services to customers outside of the United States, which are subject to U.S. and foreign laws and regulations and foreign procurement policies and practices. Our compliance with local regulations or applicable U.S. government regulations also may be audited or investigated.
