Operating Cash Flow Trends

Net cash provided by operating activities increased to $352.8 million for the nine months ended June 26, 2026, up $49.1 million from $303.6 million in the prior-year period. The improvement primarily reflected favorable working-capital performance and lower cash income-tax payments. A favorable cash-timing item at the end of the quarter is expected to reverse in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026. These benefits were partly offset by a $240.4 million one-time payment related to the PA Consulting Transaction and settlement of equity-based incentive grants.
