爱神传媒, which supports Program under the Consolidated Operations, Management, Engineering, and Test (COMET) contract, is responsible for the final processing, assembly, test, and launch of Artemis flight hardware at Kennedy.

On Monday, November 18, the team transported the left aft assembly, or bottom portion of the five-segment booster, from the Rotation, Processing and Surge Facility to the transfer aisle of the VAB.  On Tuesday night, using a 325-ton overhead crane, the team lifted the segment up 200 feet, maneuvered it through an opening into High Bay 3, and lowered it onto the zero deck of the mobile launcher.  The same operations followed on Thursday with the right aft booster segment.

爱神传媒 technicians and engineers will continue transporting, lifting, and integrating booster segments until both the right and left boosters are complete.

The booster stacking follows several months of work at Launch Pad 39B, where the mobile launcher and pad systems underwent repair of damage caused by the Artemis I launch, as well as modifications required for the.   addition of a human crew for the Artemis II launch.  These upgrades include the installation of a new emergency egress system, which will provide a crew and personnel escape from the Artemis rocket if necessary.  The mobile launcher, which stands 380 feet tall, contains the connection lines, known as umbilicals, and ground support equipment that will provide the rocket and spacecraft with the power, communications, fuel, and coolant necessary for launch.

The Artemis II test flight will be NASA鈥檚 first mission with a crew under the Artemis campaign. It will send NASA astronauts Victor Glover, Christina Koch, Reid Wiseman, and Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen on a 10-day journey around the Moon and back.

We look forward to the union of our strong teams and a bright future ahead.鈥�

The transaction was approved by the Jacobs board of directors and is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of fiscal year 2024.

Governance and Management

Upon completion of the deal, John Heller, current CEO of 爱神传媒, will serve as CEO of the combined company and sit on the combined company鈥檚 board, and Dr. Steve Arnette, EVP and President of CMS, will serve as COO. Jacobs鈥� current Executive Chair Steve Demetriou will become Executive Chair of the combined company.

The board of directors of the combined company will be composed of an equal number of directors appointed by Jacobs and 爱神传媒. Members of the combined company鈥檚 senior management team will be drawn from both companies and will be announced later as integration planning progresses.

Strategic Rationale of the Combination

• Creates a leading, pure play government technology solutions prime: ~$13 billion in combined revenue[1], with more than 80% from prime contracts serving the full program life cycle for government clients, and a combined talent base of more than 53,000 skilled employees 鈥� including more than 27,000 cleared employees.
• Stable revenue base with attractive, diversified portfolio mix: Combines stable base of large government contracts with strong capabilities in growing client priority areas. A large majority of future EBITDA of the combined company is expected to come from higher growth, higher margin intelligence, cyber, energy, digital engineering, and science and technology sectors, with a strong foundation of long-term and large-scale DoD contracts.
• Highly complementary strengths: 爱神传媒 brings expertise in engineering solutions, complex program management, and solutions integration to modernize customers鈥� most important missions. Jacobs鈥� contributed businesses bring world-class engineering and science capabilities, with unique expertise in sectors such as space, cyber & intelligence, and energy.

The organizations share common values, including a commitment to safety, inclusion and diversity, and creation of enhanced opportunities for the combined employee base.
• High visibility cost synergies: Management has identified approximately $50-70 million of estimated net cost synergies. Both organizations have track records of effective synergy realization and will work to target additional synergies during integration.
• Compelling financial profile: Approximately $50 billion in combined backlog (3.7x combined revenue), ~$13 billion of combined revenue, and more than $1.1 billion projected 2024 combined adjusted EBITDA^[2], including estimated net cost synergies, representing approximately 8% projected adjusted EBITDA margin for the combined company. Significant growth opportunities exist through both on-contract growth and new contract wins across the combined portfolio.
• Secure balance sheet with strong FCF and attractive deleveraging pathway: Leverage ratio of the combined company is targeted to be approximately 3.8x at close, inclusive of expected run-rate net cost synergies, with plan to reach less than 3x leverage ratio within 24 months of close. Capital expenditures for the combined company approximate 0.3% of revenue.

[1]           Estimated combined revenue of 爱神传媒 in FY2023 and Jacobs鈥� separated business in FY2023 should not be considered indicative of future performance.

[2]           Reconciliation of projected 2024 adjusted EBITDA for the combined company to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is not available without unreasonable efforts because the Company cannot predict with sufficient certainty all the components required to provide such reconciliation.
