We have an outstanding team that continues to execute very well, consistent with our long term strategy,” said Horacio Rozanski, Booz Allen’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our financial and operational performance in the third quarter of fiscal 2015 was strong, with revenue growth and continued margin improvement when compared to the challenging quarter of a year ago. We saw solid growth in funded and unfunded backlog, which reflects a nascent recovery in the government contracting environment, along with a one-percent sequential increase in consulting staff headcount.

“Looking forward, our focus remains on investing in our Vision 2020 growth platforms, which we believe will create sustainable quality growth. We are seeing encouraging results from our investments in engineering, systems delivery, cyber, data analytics, and our innovation agenda, as well as in the commercial and international markets. Building these capabilities and serving as an essential partner to clients are central to the long-term growth and further margin expansion that will propel us into our second century,” Rozanski said.
