REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Trustees, Plan Administrator and Plan Participants
Leidos, Inc. Retirement Plan
Reston, Virginia

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of Leidos, Inc. Retirement Plan (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements (collectively, the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Plan’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Plan in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
Report on Supplemental Information

The supplemental information in the accompanying schedule of Form 5500, Schedule H, Part IV, Line 4i – Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) as of December 31, 2017 has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Plan’s financial statements. The supplemental information is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements but includes supplemental information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental information is the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental information reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental information. In forming our opinion on the supplemental information in the accompanying schedule, we evaluated whether the supplemental information, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. In our opinion, the supplemental information in the accompanying schedule is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

LEIDOS, INC. RETIREMENT PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2017 AND 2016


1.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

The following brief description of the Leidos, Inc. Retirement Plan (the “Plan”) is for general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan document and the Summary Plan Description dated September 2013 and Prospectus Supplement dated July 2014 for more complete information regarding the Plan. Within these financial statements, Leidos, Inc. (the “Company”) refers to the sponsoring employer, and Leidos Holdings, Inc. (“Leidos”) refers to the publicly-traded parent of the sponsoring employer.

General—The Plan is a defined contribution plan sponsored by the Company and is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”), as amended. The Plan is a defined contribution 401(k) plan with profit-sharing and employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”) features. Contributions to the Plan from participants and the Company are held in a qualified retirement trust fund. The Leidos, Inc. Retirement Plans Committee is the Plan’s named fiduciary for purposes of Section 402(a) of ERISA.

Investment Funds—As of December 31, 2017, the Plan held investments in eight mutual funds, 19 common collective trust funds, and two Company stock funds: the Leidos Common Stock Fund and the Leidos Closed Stock Fund.

As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, all amounts in the Leidos Common Stock Fund and Leidos Closed Stock Fund are invested in Leidos Holdings, Inc. common stock except for estimated cash reserves, which are invested in the Vanguard Prime Money Market Fund and are primarily used to provide future benefit distributions and facilitate investment exchanges.

Eligibility—Employees of the Company and its subsidiaries that have adopted the Plan are eligible to participate in the Plan. Employees must be in an eligible fringe benefit package to be eligible to receive Company matching 401(k) contributions, profit sharing contributions, and ESOP contributions. Employees may make elective contributions and receive Company matching 401(k) contributions upon commencing employment.

Participant Contributions—The Plan permits participants to contribute up to 75% of their eligible compensation to the Plan, subject to statutory limitations. Participants who have attained the age of 50 before the end of the plan year are eligible to make catch-up contributions. Participants may also contribute amounts representing rollovers from other qualified plans. Participant contributions are invested according to participant direction into any of the available investment funds of the Plan. Participant contributions and rollovers to the Leidos Common Stock Fund are limited to a maximum 50% of the employee deferral or rollover, as applicable.

Employer Contributions—The Company may make discretionary contributions, which include matching 401(k) contributions, profit sharing contributions, and ESOP contributions. Eligible participants may receive Company matching 401(k) contributions based on a maximum match percentage of 50%, depending on fringe level, of the first 6% of eligible compensation contributed to the Plan (up to a maximum match percentage of 3%), which are invested per participant direction. The Company, at its discretion, may also make additional contributions to the Plan for the benefit of non-highly compensated participants in order to comply with Section 401(k) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company made no additional contributions for the benefit of non-highly compensated participants for the Plan years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. Company contributions to the Plan for the Plan years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, were made in cash and transfers from the forfeiture account.

For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company elected to make a profit sharing contribution of 2% of eligible compensation to all eligible employees that met certain criteria including being employed at the Company on the last business day of the Plan year.

Participant Accounts—In accordance with Plan provisions, individual accounts are maintained for each Plan participant. Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contributions, and if eligible, allocations of Company discretionary contributions. Allocations are based on participant eligible compensation, as defined in the Plan document. Participant accounts also reflect changes from investment income and losses and from distributions. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the vested balance of his or her account.

Asset Transfer In—On December 29, 2017, approximately $354,948,000 was transferred from the Leidos Inc. Retirement Plan for Former IS&GS Employees and the Leidos Inc. Retirement Plan for Bargaining Employees, maintained by VOYA, to the Plan. Funds were transferred in kind to the same funds where possible. All transferred amounts are included in the statement of net assets available for benefits as of December 31, 2017.

LEIDOS, INC. RETIREMENT PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2017 AND 2016


Vesting and Forfeitures—Participant’s elective deferrals and rollover contributions together with associated earnings vest immediately. Company contributions vest 20% for each calendar year during which the participant works at least 850 hours and become fully vested after the participant completes five years of vesting service, as defined by the Plan. In addition, participants become fully vested in Company contributions while employed with the Company upon reaching age 59-1/2, permanent disability, or death. Upon termination of employment with the Company, participants forfeit any portion of Company contributions that have not yet vested. Forfeitures may be applied to future Company matching 401(k) contributions, to provide reinstatements due to military leave, to increase profit sharing or ESOP contributions, or to pay Plan expenses. During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company applied forfeited non-vested amounts of approximately $16,610,000 and $6,864,000, respectively, primarily toward Company matching 401(k) contributions. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, forfeited non-vested accounts available for application by the Company totaled approximately $518,000 and $6,034,000, respectively.

Notes Receivable from Participants—Participants may borrow up to 50% of their vested account balance, up to a maximum of $50,000. Loan repayment periods may not exceed 60 months except for loans used to acquire a principal residence, in which case the repayment period may not exceed 30 years. The loans are secured by the vested account balance in the participant’s account and bear interest at a rate commensurate with local prevailing rates as determined monthly by the Plan administrator. Principal and interest are collected ratably through payroll deductions. As of December 31, 2017, outstanding loans bear interest at rates ranging from 4.25% to 9.25%, and have maturities from January 2018 through December 2047.

Distributions to Participants—For vested account balances less than $5,000, participants receive their vested account balance in a single lump sum within twelve calendar months following termination of employment with the Company. For vested account balances that exceed $5,000, a participant’s vested account balance is not distributed unless the participant elects to take a distribution following the participant’s termination of employment with the Company. Regardless of the existing account balance, distributions are made to participants who die or become permanently disabled while employed by the Company. After attaining age 59-1/2, a participant may make withdrawals even if still employed by the Company. A participant may make withdrawals from the Plan prior to attaining age 59-1/2 of their rollover account or if the participant incurs a financial hardship, as specified by the Plan. Former employees, regardless of their age, may elect to receive up to two distributions in any given Plan year, of all or a portion of their account balance.

Tax Status—The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) has determined and informed the Company by a letter dated March 10, 2015, that the Plan was designed in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan’s financial statements. Although the Plan has been amended since receiving the March 10, 2015 letter, the Plan administrator and the Plan’s tax counsel believe that the Plan is designed, and is currently being operated, in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code and, therefore, believe that the Plan is qualified, and the related trust is tax-exempt.

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability if the organization has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service and other taxing authorities. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress.

Related-Party Transactions—Certain Plan investments are managed by The Vanguard Group, the Plan’s record-keeper; therefore, transactions with these investments qualify as party-in-interest transactions. Fees paid to the record-keeper were approximately $2,701,000 and $2,412,000 for the Plan years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. There were no amounts payable to the Plan’s record-keeper as of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. Members of the Company’s Retirement Plans Committee also participate in the Plan. The Company pays directly any other fees related to the Plan’s operation.

Termination of the Plan—Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions and to terminate the Plan at any time subject to the provisions of ERISA. Upon termination of the Plan, the participants become 100% vested in any unvested portion of their accounts.

2.     SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Accounting—The Plan’s financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Investment transactions are accounted for on their trade dates.

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition—Investments held by the Plan are carried at fair value as follows:
Investment in Mutual Funds—Valued at the daily closing price as reported by the fund. Mutual funds held by the Plan are open-end mutual funds that are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These funds are required to publish their daily net asset value (“NAV”) and to transact at that price. The mutual funds held by the Plan are deemed to be actively traded.
Investment in Common Collective Trusts—As of December 31, 2017, the Plan held investments in 19 common collective trusts (“CCTs”): a series of Vanguard Target Retirement Trusts Plus; the Wellington Trust Small Cap 2000 Portfolio; the Wellington Trust TIPS Portfolio; the Loomis Sayles Core Plus Fixed Income Portfolio; the T. Rowe Price U.S. Mid Cap Value Equity Trust, the Vanguard Institutional 500 Index Trust, the Vanguard Institutional Extended Market Index Trust and the Vanguard Institutional Total Bond Market Index Trust. The Plan’s investments in CCTs are valued at NAV. The NAV, as provided by the trustee, is used as a practical expedient to estimate fair value. The NAV is based on the fair value of the underlying investments held by the fund less its liabilities. This practical expedient is not used when it is determined to be probable that the fund will sell the investment for an amount different than the reported NAV. Participant transactions (purchases and sales) may occur daily. If the Plan were to initiate a full redemption of the CCTs, the investment advisor reserves the right to temporarily delay withdrawal from the trust in order to ensure that securities liquidations will be carried out in an orderly business manner.
Investment in Common Stock—Investments in shares of Leidos Holdings, Inc. common stock, which is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange, is recorded at its publicly-traded quoted market price as of December 31, 2017 and 2016.
Investment Gains and Losses—Realized gains and losses on sales of investments are calculated as the difference between the fair value of the investments upon sale and the fair value of the investments at purchase. Unrealized appreciation or depreciation is calculated as the difference between the fair value of the investments at the end of the year and the fair value of the investments at the beginning of the year or at purchase if purchased during the year.
Net appreciation in fair value of investments increased from 2016 to 2017, mainly due to the rise in the fair value of mutual funds and common collective trusts. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis of accounting. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Notes Receivable from Participants—Notes receivable from participants are carried at the aggregate unpaid principal balance of loans outstanding. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Related fees are recorded as administrative expenses and are expensed when incurred. No allowance for credit losses has been recorded as of December 31, 2017 or 2016. If a participant ceases to make loan repayments and the plan administrator deems the participant loan to be in default, the participant loan balance is reduced and a benefit payment is recorded.

Benefits Payable—Benefit payments to participants are recorded upon distribution. There were no significant benefits payable to participants who had elected to withdraw from the Plan, but had not yet been paid as of December 31, 2017 and 2016.

LEIDOS, INC. RETIREMENT PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2017 AND 2016


Accounting Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires Plan management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of additions and deductions during the reporting periods. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Administrative Expenses—Administrative expenses of the Plan are paid by the Plan sponsor or Plan participants as provided in the Plan document.

Subsequent Events—The Plan has evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were available to be
issued. Effective January 1, 2018, the Plan was amended and new Summary Plan Descriptions were issued. The significant changes to the Plan included: changed matching formula to 100% of the first 5% for substantially all employees, changed vesting from five years to three years, stopped the 2% non-elective employer contribution, and changed the definition of compensation from total compensation to base pay.

The Company’s Retirement Plans Committee does not believe there will be any tax status impacts or other changes. No other material subsequent events were identified.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In January 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. With certain exceptions, early adoption is not permitted. Plan management is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2016-01 will have on its financial statements.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies are not expected to have a material impact on the Plan’s net assets or changes in net assets.

3.    FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Accounting guidance has been issued that establishes a framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level 1
Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the plan has the ability to access.

Level 2
Inputs to the valuation methodology include: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3
Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable to the fair value measurement of assets or liabilities and are used to the extent that observable inputs are not available.

The availability of observable market data is monitored to assess the appropriate classification of financial instruments within the fair value hierarchy. Changes in economic conditions or model-based valuation techniques may require the transfer of financial instruments from one fair value level to another. In such instances, the transfer is reported at the end of the reporting period.

5.    RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The Plan invests in various securities. Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate risk, credit risk, and overall market volatility. Due to the level of risk associated with investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of certain investment securities will occur in the near term and that such change could materially affect the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits.
