Leidos's demand seasonality is influenced by the U.S. government's fiscal year, which ends on September 30. U.S. government agencies may award additional tasks or complete other contract actions in the period leading up to the end of their fiscal year to utilize unexpended funds, which may favorably impact Leidos's third fiscal quarter. Quarterly results can be affected by the number of working days in a given quarter.

Leidos has maintained a strong general brand reputation, being recognized by Ethisphere Institute, Fortune, and Forbes. However, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce placed Leidos on its export control list, barring the export of dual-use commodities to the business.
