CACI Issues Guidance for Its Fiscal Year 2019

CACI International Inc (NYSE: CACI), a leading information solutions and services provider to the federal government, issued its guidance for its Fiscal Year 2019 (FY19) which begins July 1, 2018, and raised its Fiscal Year 2018 (FY18) net income guidance.

Commentary

Ken Asbury, CACI’s President and CEO said, “Our FY19 guidance builds on the revenue and profitability growth we delivered in FY18. We are winning solutions business; our addressable market is growing; and the budget environment has improved. I am confident this plan will produce predictable, profitable growth and continue generating long-term shareholder value. Lastly, I am very happy to raise net income guidance as we near the end of a very successful Fiscal Year 2018.”

Guidance for Fiscal Year 2019

The table below summarizes our FY19 guidance ranges and represents our views as of June 20, 2018:

 

(In millions except for tax rate and earnings per share)

 

Fiscal Year 2019

 

Guidance

Revenue   $4,550 - $4,750
Net income attributable to CACI   $230 - $240
Effective corporate tax rate   24.9%
Diluted earnings per share   $8.98 - $9.38
Diluted weighted average shares   25.6
 

Following are the key factors related to our FY19 guidance:

  • We expect indirect costs and selling expenses will be approximately flat to slightly below FY18.
  • Depreciation and amortization is expected to be approximately $76 million.
  • Net interest expense is expected to be approximately $40 million.
  • We expect that operating cash flow will be greater than $320 million.
  • We expect that capital expenditures will total approximately $40-$45 million, driven by investment in our Shared Services Center and facility consolidations.

FY18 Guidance Revised

We are revising the FY18 guidance we issued on May 2, 2018. As a result of the continued strong operating performance on a number of programs throughout our operations, particularly on our fixed price contracts, we are raising our net income and diluted earnings per share guidance. The table below summarizes our FY18 guidance and represents our views as of June 20, 2018:

 
  Current Fiscal Year   Previous Fiscal Year
(In millions except for tax rate and earnings per share)   2018 Guidance   2018 Guidance
Revenue   $4,400 - $4,500   $4,400 - $4,500
Net income   $292 - $297   $285 - $291
Effective corporate tax rate  

-0.8%

 

-3.4%

Diluted earnings per share   $11.54 - $11.74   $11.26 - $11.50
Diluted weighted average shares   25.3  

25.3

 

Investors are reminded that as a result of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act (“Tax Reform”) enacted in December 2017, our net income in the second quarter of FY18 benefited from a $94.8 million reduction in our net deferred tax liability partially offset by a tax expense of $9.7 million associated with cumulative foreign earnings. In addition, we estimate that FY18 net income would have been approximately $18 million higher if Tax Reform had been enacted for the full year. Adjusting for these items in our revised guidance results in a non-GAAP FY18 net income range of $225 million to $230 million and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share range of $8.87 to $9.07. (See Reconciliation of Estimated FY18 Net Income to Estimated non-GAAP Net Income excluding the impact of tax reform on page 4).

CACI-Earnings Release

Reconciliation of Estimated FY18 Net Income Excluding the Impact of Tax Reform
(Unaudited)

The Company views Estimated FY18 Net Income excluding the impact of Tax Reform, a non-GAAP measure, as an important indicator of performance, consistent with the manner in which management measures and forecasts the Company’s performance. Estimated FY18 Net Income excluding the impact of Tax Reform is defined as Estimated GAAP Net Income adjusted to exclude the impact of Tax Reform. We believe this is an important calculation to show company performance without the benefits of Tax Reform. Management is incented to perform via metrics without the impact of Tax Reform. This non-GAAP measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
