News release

 

QinetiQ Group plc

$224m contract win in the US (formerly Avantus) supports our ambitious

growth plan

31 August 2023 - QinetiQ Group plc (QinetiQ) is pleased to announce that it
has won a five year $224m firm-fixed-price contract to provide mission support
to the US Space Development Agency (SDA).

 

This contract builds on an existing strong customer relationship with the SDA,
generating incremental growth on previous work. Under the 5-year contract,
QinetiQ will deliver management and professional services, acquisition
support, engineering and technical assistance needed to deliver the
Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture programme. The QinetiQ team, along
with its strategic partners, provide engineering services in support of SDA's
most critical space missions. This contract is the largest competitive win for
the Avantus business since QinetiQ's acquisition in November last year and
underpins our target of greater than 10% annual revenue growth from Avantus.

Steve Wadey, Group Chief Executive Officer of QinetiQ, said:

"Securing this new contract is an important milestone in the delivery of the
ambitious growth plan for our US business, including the excellent
capabilities we acquired with Avantus last year. It demonstrates our strategy
is working, providing confidence that we will deliver good returns, both
organically and through acquisitions. We remain confident in our plan to
deliver high single digit organic revenue growth at stable profit margins."
