Item 2.02

Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

DLH Holdings Corp. (the “Company”) hereby reports certain preliminary financial information for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025. Total debt at fiscal year-end was $131.6 million, compared to $154.6 million as of September 30, 2024, reflecting a total reduction of $23.0 million during fiscal 2025, including $10.7 million in the fourth quarter. As a result of the Company’s focus on managing its working capital, all mandatory amortization payments for fiscal 2026 have been fully satisfied.

As the Company has not completed its year end annual close procedures and the audit of its 2025 financial statements is not complete, the financial information presented in this press release is preliminary, subject to final year end closing adjustments and may change materially. The information presented above has not been audited by the Company’s independent accountants, should not be considered a substitute for audited financial statements, and should not be regarded as a representation by the Company as to the actual financial results for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025.

The information furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 of this Current Report, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Item 8.01

Other Events.

Head Start Contract Update

As previously disclosed, the Company performs monitoring, evaluation and compliance services for the Office of Head Start (“OHS”). The contract term for these services ends on October 31, 2025. Through the third quarter of fiscal 2025, the revenue earned on this contract was $28.4 million, representing approximately 10.7% of total revenues for the fiscal year to date.

As also previously disclosed, the policies of the Biden administration promoted unbundling and setting aside contracts for small businesses. OHS conducted a competitive procurement for renewal of the services we have been performing, which was set aside for qualifying small businesses. In response to this procurement, we partnered with qualified small businesses to submit proposal responses. Our small business partners have been informed that their proposals were not selected by OHS.

Due to the ongoing Government shutdown, it is unclear whether protests from unsuccessful bidders are under consideration. However, effective upon the completion of the current contract term on October 31, 2025, we will transition services to the new contractors and will no longer be providing services to OHS. Our pursuit of new business to increase our revenue base remains our strategy for mitigating the impact of this transition.

CMOP Contract Update

As previously reported, the Company continues to perform as a prime contractor in support of the Department of Veteran Affairs (“VA”) Consolidated Mail Outpatient Pharmacy (“CMOP”) program during the VA's ongoing acquisition evaluation. Effective October 28, 2025, the Company has been awarded a sole-source Indefinite Quantity/Indefinite Delivery (“IDIQ”) contract to continue providing pharmacy and logistic services. The IDIQ has a ceiling value of $90.0 million and a maximum performance period through April 2027.

The Company was awarded task orders under this IDIQ for the four locations which have not yet transitioned to a small business prime contractor pursuant to the VA’s acquisition process. Initially, we expect the quarterly revenue associated with these locations to be approximately $28 million, in line with current revenue volumes on this contract. Until the VA has completed its procurement and transition processes, the Company expects to continue providing pharmacy and logistics services at these locations.
