This sequester just forced them to hire new sales staff and start selling older and more products to non US Government entities.

We are pumping out 24/7 and can’t keep up. Even though the military work went down our total work load went up.

Those companies were riding the US government for almost all their profits for many years. Now they are forced to look elsewhere for that extra bit of business. And its proved to be better than they expected.

I also remember that 28 billion in contracts have just been awarded.
