Revenues of $1.9 billion

Adjusted net income of $99.7 million and adjusted diluted EPS of $4.36

RESTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CACI International Inc (NYSE: CACI), a leading provider of expertise and technology to government customers, announced results today for its fiscal first quarter ended September 30, 2023.

“Our first quarter results represent a great start to fiscal year 2024 and underscore the exceptional execution of our business,” said John Mengucci, CACI President and Chief Executive Officer. “The business is performing well and ahead of our expectations at this point in the year. We are strategically positioned in the right markets with differentiated capabilities. As a result, we continue to win high-value, enduring work that supports our long-term value creation goals of delivering top-line growth, strong profitability, and robust free cash flow. Our financial strength enables us to opportunistically deploy capital, most recently by repurchasing an additional $150 million of our stock representing about two percent of our outstanding shares. Given our year-to-date performance and strong position, we are raising our fiscal year 2024 revenue, adjusted EPS, and free cash flow guidance.”

First Quarter Results

Three Months Ended
(in millions, except earnings per share and DSO) 9/30/2023 9/30/2022 % Change
Revenues $ 1,850.1 $ 1,605.8 15.2%
Income from operations $ 137.3 $ 132.8 3.4%
Net income $ 86.0 $ 89.1 -3.5%
Adjusted net income, a non-GAAP measure1 $ 99.7 $ 103.3 -3.4%
Diluted earnings per share $ 3.76 $ 3.76 0.0%
Adjusted diluted earnings per share, a non-GAAP measure1 $ 4.36 $ 4.36 0.0%
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), a non-GAAP measure1 $ 174.2 $ 170.0 2.5%
Net cash provided by operating activities excluding MARPA1 $ 93.3 $ 142.9 -34.8%
Free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure1 $ 79.3 $ 130.2 -39.1%
Days sales outstanding (DSO)2 49 48

(1)This non-GAAP measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. For additional information regarding this non-GAAP measure, see the related explanation and reconciliation to the GAAP measure included below in this release.

(2)The DSO calculations for three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 exclude the impact of the Company's Master Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement (MARPA), which was 5 days and 8 days, respectively.

Revenues in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024 increased 15 percent year-over-year, driven by organic growth, which included approximately $100 million of higher-than-expected material purchases by our customers. The higher material purchases contributed approximately six points of revenue growth with no material contribution to profit. The increase in income from operations was driven by higher revenues and gross profit. Diluted earnings per share and adjusted diluted earnings per share were unchanged year-over-year, with higher income from operations, lower tax provision, and share repurchases offset by higher interest expense. Cash from operations, excluding MARPA was influenced primarily by higher revenue and the associated temporary effect on working capital.

First Quarter Contract Awards

Contract awards in the first quarter totaled $3.1 billion, with over 50 percent for new business to CACI. Awards exclude ceiling values of multi-award, indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts. Some notable awards during the quarter were:

•CACI was awarded an eight-year, single-award technology task order valued at up to $1.3 billion to provide global enterprise network modernization to an Intelligence Community customer. CACI recognized approximately $750 million of award and backlog value based on current requirements in its first quarter of fiscal year 2024.

•CACI was awarded a five-year expertise contract, with a maximum ceiling value of $917 million, to continue to provide complete life cycle software and systems engineering to improve battlespace awareness for the U.S. Air Force. This contract award significantly expands CACI’s long-standing work. Under the contract, CACI will implement Agile and adaptable processes to develop software and data analysis capabilities to advance and modernize command, control, communications, computers, cyber, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C5ISR) programs. These capabilities will enhance information dissemination and decision-making across the Air Force and intelligence community, improve information security, and meet program mission objectives.

•CACI was awarded a five-year expertise task order worth up to $420 million to continue to provide program management, engineering, administration, procurement, logistics, mechanical, and technical support to the Department of Defense (DoD).

•CACI was awarded a five-year technology task order valued at up to $219 million to provide cyber defense and C5ISR support to the DoD.

•CACI was awarded a four-year single-award, IDIQ expertise contract worth up to $150 million to continue its support of spaceflight systems, simulation, and software for NASA Johnson Space Center (JSC). The program provides advanced aerospace engineering for crewed spacecraft systems, development of simulation and Virtual Reality (VR) applications, and software in support of human space flight. This award builds on more than three decades of CACI’s dedicated support for JSC’s mission.

Total backlog as of September 30, 2023 was $26.7 billion compared with $24.9 billion a year ago, an increase of 7 percent. Funded backlog as of September 30, 2023 was $4.2 billion compared with $3.7 billion a year ago, an increase of 14 percent.

Additional Highlights

•CACI appointed Stanton D. Sloane to its Board of Directors where he will serve as an independent director on the Board. Sloane began his career in 1984 with General Electric Aerospace, which subsequently merged to become a business of Martin Marietta, then Lockheed Martin, in the 1990s. He held a variety of executive roles including engineering, program management, and business development. In 2004, he was promoted to Executive Vice President, Integrated Systems and Solutions, one of the major divisions of Lockheed Martin.

•CACI was named to Forbes’ Best Employers for Women 2023 for the second consecutive year. Separately, CACI was named a Top Workplace in San Antonio by employee engagement technology partner Energage, LLC. for a fifth consecutive year.

•CACI announced a new, multi-year Strategic Collaboration Agreement (SCA) with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to further advance the company’s application of AWS services as a trusted provider of secure, agile, innovative solutions that can be rapidly adopted by customers in the U.S. government. CACI will build on its successful Agile-at-scale delivery execution model by applying a similar approach to enhance and scale cloud adoption through this SCA.

Fiscal Year 2024 Guidance

The table below summarizes our fiscal year 2024 guidance and represents our views as of October 25, 2023. Our revenue guidance now reflects approximately $200 million of higher-than-expected material purchases by our customers, split evenly between the first and second quarters of fiscal year 2024. This revenue has no material contribution to profit. Our guidance also now reflects lower diluted weighted average shares due to the effect of the share repurchases made during the first quarter. Higher free cash flow reflects first quarter results and confidence in our expectations for the year.

(in millions, except earnings per share) Fiscal Year 2024
Current Guidance
Revenues 7,200 - 7,400 $7,000 - $7,200
Adjusted net income, a non-GAAP measure1 440 - 465 $440 - $465
Adjusted diluted earnings per share, a non-GAAP measure1 19.38 - 20.48 $19.13 - $20.22
Diluted weighted average shares 22.7 23.0
Free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure2 at least 410 at least $400

All values are in US Dollars.

(1)Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share are defined as GAAP net income and GAAP diluted EPS, respectively, excluding intangible amortization expense and the related tax impact. This non-GAAP measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. For additional information regarding this non-GAAP measure, see the related explanation and reconciliation to the GAAP measure included below in this release.

(2)Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities excluding MARPA, less payments for capital expenditures (capex). This non-GAAP measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Fiscal year 2024 free cash flow guidance assumes approximately $75 million in tax payments related to Section 174 of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. For additional information regarding this non-GAAP measure, see the related explanation and reconciliation to the GAAP measure included below in this release.

Reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted Net Income and Diluted EPS to Adjusted Diluted EPS (Unaudited)

Adjusted net income and Adjusted diluted EPS are non-GAAP performance measures. We define Adjusted net income and Adjusted diluted EPS as GAAP net income and GAAP diluted EPS, respectively, excluding intangible amortization expense and the related tax impact as we do not consider intangible amortization expense to be indicative of our operating performance. We believe that these performance measures provide management and investors with useful information in assessing trends in our ongoing operating performance, provide greater visibility in understanding the long-term financial performance of the Company, and allow investors to more easily compare our results to results of our peers. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Reconciliation of Net Income to Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) (Unaudited)

The Company views EBITDA and EBITDA margin, both of which are defined as non-GAAP measures, as important indicators of performance, consistent with the manner in which management measures and forecasts the Company’s performance. EBITDA is a commonly used non-GAAP measure when comparing our results with those of other companies. We define EBITDA as GAAP net income plus net interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization expense (including depreciation within direct costs). We consider EBITDA to be a useful metric for management and investors to evaluate and compare the ongoing operating performance of our business on a consistent basis across reporting periods, as it eliminates the effect of non-cash items such as depreciation of tangible assets, amortization of intangible assets primarily recognized in business combinations, which we do not believe are indicative of our operating performance. EBITDA margin is divided by revenue. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Reconciliation of Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities to Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities Excluding MARPA and to Free Cash Flow (Unaudited)

The Company defines Net cash provided by operating activities excluding MARPA, a non-GAAP measure, as net cash provided by operating activities calculated in accordance with GAAP, adjusted to exclude cash flows from CACI’s Master Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement (MARPA) for the sale of certain designated eligible U.S. government receivables up to a maximum amount of $200.0 million Free cash flow is a non-GAAP liquidity measure and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. The Company defines Free cash flow as Net cash provided by operating activities excluding MARPA, less payments for capital expenditures. The Company uses these non-GAAP measures to assess our ability to generate cash from our business operations and plan for future operating and capital actions. We believe these measures allow investors to more easily compare current period results to prior period results and to results of our peers. Free cash flow does not represent residual cash flows available for discretionary purposes and should not be used as a substitute for cash flow measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
