CACI Reports Results for Its Fiscal 2020 First Quarter

CACI International Inc (NYSE: CACI), a leading provider of expertise and technology to government enterprise and mission customers, announced results today for its first fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2019.

CEO Commentary and Outlook

John Mengucci, CACI’s President and CEO, said, “Our first quarter performance was a great start to Fiscal Year 2020. We grew revenue, generated strong profitability and cash flow, and won $4 billion of contract awards. Subsequent to the quarter, we closed on three strategic acquisitions adding key capabilities in the mission expertise and technology areas of our business. We are confident in our ability to continue to deliver value to our customers and shareholders.”

For more details, see the Reconciliation of Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities to Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities Excluding MARPA on page 10 of this release.

Revenue for the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2020 (FY20) increased compared to the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2019 (FY19), driven by both acquired revenue and organic revenue growth. The year-over-year change in operating income was impacted by unusually strong results last year due to product sales timing and other one-time benefits. The decrease in net income was due to both higher interest expense and a higher effective tax rate.

Subsequent Acquisitions

CACI closed on three acquisitions during the month of October. These companies add strategic capabilities in the mission expertise and technology areas of our business. The aggregate purchase price was approximately $105 million. The acquisitions are expected to be accretive to FY20, adding approximately $50 million of revenue and $3 million of net income to the remainder of our fiscal year, with Adjusted EBIDTA margins in the mid-teens. Business descriptions are as follows:

  • Next Century Corporation, a mission technology company, delivers advanced geospatial mapping, predictive analytics, data fusion, and machine learning to the Intelligence Community and Department of Defense.
  • Linndustries Shielding Specialties, a mission technology company, delivers hardened systems to protect from High Altitude Electromagnetic Pulses and other electromagnetic interference.
  • Deep3, a mission expertise company, provides application development, data analytics, digital transformation and cyber security. This acquisition is part of our U.K. operations and supports U.K. National Security and Defense.

Additional Highlights

  • CACI expanded its presence in the Texas Technology Corridor, marked by the September 20, 2019 opening of a new office in Port San Antonio and plans to create new space in the Capital Factory technology incubation hub in Austin. CACI will use the new Port San Antonio facility to collaborate with the U.S. Air Force and other government customers in the region to provide research and development of full-spectrum cybersecurity and cyberspace solutions.
  • CACI and BlackBerry are partnering to provide the first secure and certified government multi-tenant mobile communications application (app) for voice and messaging on both iOS and Android devices that exceeds Federal requirements.

Reconciliation of Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities to
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities Excluding MARPA Facility
(Unaudited)

The Company defines net cash provided by operating activities excluding CACI’s Master Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement (MARPA facility) as net cash provided by operating activities calculated in accordance with GAAP, adjusted to exclude net cash received from CACI’s MARPA facility for the sale of certain designated eligible U.S. government receivables. Under the MARPA facility, the Company can sell eligible receivables, including certain billed and unbilled receivables up to a maximum amount of $200.0 million. The Company uses net cash provided by operating activities excluding MARPA facility to allow investors to more easily compare current period results to prior period results and to results of our peers. This non-GAAP measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

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

The Company views Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted 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. Adjusted EBITDA is a commonly used non-GAAP measure when comparing our results with those of other companies. We define Adjusted EBITDA as GAAP net income plus net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, including depreciation within direct costs, and earnout adjustments. We consider Adjusted 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, as well as the effect of earnout gains and losses, which we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA margin is adjusted EBITDA 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.
