Amentum, a global leading engineering and technology solutions provider, is pleased to host its capital markets day at the New York Stock Exchange in New York City.

Following transaction close, the combined company will be led by Steve Demetriou, Executive Chair of the Board; John Heller, Chief Executive Officer; Travis Johnson, Chief Financial Officer; and Steve Arnette, Chief Operating Officer.

“I am proud to introduce the new Amentum, a leader in engineering and technology solutions trusted by the United States and its allies around the world to manage and modernize their most complex missions,” said Steve Demetriou. “The combination of Amentum and Jacobs’s Critical Mission Solutions and Cyber & Intelligence businesses will be differentiated and positioned to deliver mission advantage through advanced engineering and technology solutions.”

John Heller shared, “Our businesses have built a foundation of trust with our customers to help them address the most complex, significant challenges in science, security and sustainability. We look forward to joining forces in the second half of September 2024 as we create a global organization that leverages our respective strengths and builds on our track record of winning long-term enterprise programs.”

“Amentum will be an industry leader with an attractive financial profile and expecting projected revenue for fiscal year 2025 of approximately $14 billion¹,” said Travis Johnson. “Following this transformational combination, we will be well positioned for growth, with industry-leading combined backlog of $47 billion as of September 29, 2023 and attractive opportunities in our end markets. Amentum will have a sustainable, growth-oriented financial profile, a secure balance sheet, strong free cash flow generation, and a disciplined capital allocation strategy.”
