Why it matters
Traders can update models using the raised full-year non-GAAP EPS range, the narrowed revenue range, and the stated 2H back-end loaded profile, while monitoring cash flow softness and margin mix risk.
Market read
Raised EPS outlook and narrowed revenue guidance are the primary tradable catalysts, with backlog/pipeline commentary and cash flow/margin mix as key risk checks.
What to watch
Backlog held at $4.4B and bookings were in line, so upside may hinge on regulatory-tied project timing and whether cross-selling from Resiliency acquisitions converts into new wins.

Counterpoint
GAAP net income declined year over year and free cash flow fell to $81M, so the EPS raise may not fully translate into near-term cash generation.
