Record third quarter revenue of $1.26 billion, up 12.5 percent

Net income of $68.1 million, up 5.7 percent

Record contract awards of $2.7 billion, up 95.3 percent

ARLINGTON, Va.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–CACI International Inc (NYSE: CACI), a leading information solutions and service provider to the federal government, announced results today for its third fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2019.

CEO Commentary and Outlook

Ken Asbury, CACI’s President and CEO, said, “We delivered record revenue, solid net income growth, and strong cash flow in our third quarter. Contract awards were nearly double from a year ago, a reflection of the investments we’ve made in the enterprise and the success of our market-aligned strategy. The integration of LGS Innovations and Mastodon Design is largely complete, and the synergies with CACI’s existing capabilities are differentiating us in the mission-essential areas of signals intelligence, cyber, and electronic warfare. We are raising our full-year net income guidance to reflect continued outstanding performance across our business. And we are confident that our long-term growth strategy will continue to deliver value for our customers and shareholders.”

Revenue for the third quarter of Fiscal Year 2019 (FY19) increased 12.5 percent compared with the third quarter of Fiscal Year 2018 (FY18) driven by acquired revenue, new business wins, and on-contract growth. Operating income includes approximately $14 million of transaction-related expenses in the third quarter of FY19 and, as previously indicated, approximately $22 million of non-recurring benefits in the third quarter of FY18. Excluding the impact of these items, operating income performance was driven by strong program performance and recent acquisitions. Net income and diluted earnings per share performance reflect these non-recurring items as well as lower 2019 tax rates due to Tax Reform and $4 million of previously unanticipated tax benefits realized in the third quarter of FY19.

Third quarter FY19 net cash provided by operations excluding CACI’s Master Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement (MARPA facility) was $113.3 million. For more details, see the reconciliation on page 10 of this release.

Closing of Mastodon Design and LGS Innovations Acquisitions

Mastodon specializes in the rapid design of rugged tactical communications signals intelligence (SIGINT) and electronic warfare (EW) equipment. On March 1, 2019, CACI completed the acquisition of LGS Innovations (LGS). LGS is a leading provider of SIGINT and cyber products and solutions to the Intelligence Community and Department of Defense. In combination with CACI’s existing capabilities, these acquisitions allow CACI to provide highly relevant and differentiated products and solutions that address current and future requirements in the areas of signals intelligence and spectrum management, electronic warfare, communications, C4ISR, and cyber.

Third Quarter Awards and Contract Funding Orders

Contract awards in the third quarter were $2.7 billion, 95.3 percent higher than the year earlier quarter. This excludes ceiling values of multi-award, indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts. Approximately 85 percent of contract awards were for new business to CACI. Some notable awards during the quarter were:

  • An $810 million contract to develop, modernize, deliver, and sustain mobile and transportable command and control systems.

Revenue in the first nine months of FY19 increased 9.5 percent compared with the same period a year ago primarily due to acquired revenue, new business wins, and on-contract growth. Operating income increased due to the same factors noted above for the third quarter. Net income and diluted earnings per share decreased due to the impact of Tax Reform in FY18. For a more detailed comparison of our first nine months FY19 net income, see page 12 of this release for a reconciliation of FY18 results assuming a full year of Tax Reform.

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, 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.
