Summary
DLH Holdings reported a disastrous fiscal Q3, with revenue collapsing 47% year-over-year to $44.2 million, well below the lone analyst's $50 million estimate. The company swung to a net loss of $16.8 million from a profit a year ago, driven by the transition of legacy programs to small-business set-aside contractors. This follows a 33.5% revenue decline in Q2 and a recent credit agreement amendment to ease covenants, underscoring deepening financial strain. Management expects Q4 revenue to come entirely from technology-powered solutions and sees Adjusted EBITDA margins holding near Q3 levels, but the near-term outlook remains bleak. The stock, already down sharply from its $10 price target, faces further pressure as the legacy revenue cliff materializes faster than anticipated.
