Jacobs Solutions Inc. (J+0.69%) has submitted its 10-K filing for the fiscal year ended September 27, 2024.

The filing details the company's financial performance, including revenues of $11.5 billion, an increase from $10.85 billion in the previous year. This growth was attributed to improved performance in the Infrastructure & Advanced Facilities segment and higher revenues in the PA Consulting business.

Net earnings attributable to Jacobs from continuing operations were $612.8 million, up from $379.1 million in the prior year. This increase was driven by higher operating profit and favorable impacts from mark-to-market gains associated with the company's investment in Amentum stock.
