Updates Fiscal Year 2021 Guidance

CACI International Inc (NYSE: CACI), a leading provider of expertise and technology to government enterprise and mission customers, announced results today for its third fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2021.

CEO Commentary and Outlook

John Mengucci, CACI’s President and CEO, said, “We again delivered solid organic growth, strong profitability, and robust cash flow. While the effects of the pandemic linger, we continue to execute our long-term strategy of offering differentiated and distinctive technology that drives growth, operational excellence, and allows us to deploy capital for the benefit of our shareholders. CACI is focused on our customers’ critical national security and IT modernization priorities, which enables us to grow faster than our addressable market, expand margins, and deliver value to our customers and shareholders.”

Third Quarter Results

Revenue in Q3 FY21 increased 5.9% year-over-year as reported and 5.3% organically. The year-over-year increase in operating income was driven by higher revenue, strong operating performance, favorable fixed-price contract performance, and lower indirect costs. The year-over-year increase in net income was due to strong operating performance as well as lower interest expense and lower effective tax rate. The lower effective tax rate was driven by a greater than expected benefit from R&D tax credits. The increase in cash from operations, excluding MARPA, was driven primarily by higher net income. The decrease in free cash flow was driven by higher capital expenditures.

Third Quarter Contract Awards

Contract awards in Q3 FY21 totaled $1.6 billion, approximately 60% for new business to CACI. These awards exclude ceiling values of multi-award, indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts. Some notable awards during the quarter were:

• A five-year, multiple-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), with a $700 million total federal program value, to provide enterprise technology in support of the department’s national security investigations.
• A five-year, single-award indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract, with a ceiling value of $376 million, by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) to provide mission technology, including advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning tools, in support of critical geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) missions.
• A five-year, single-award, indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract, with a ceiling value of $48 million, by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to provide enterprise technology, such as protections against High-Altitude Electromagnetic Pulses (HEMP), to sustain and modernize the National Public Warning System (NPWS).
• A 10-year, multiple-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA), with a $1 billion total federal program value, to provide enterprise expertise and financial system integration support services.
• A prime position on a 10-year, multiple-award, indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract, with a ceiling value of $12.6 billion, by the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) to provide enterprise technology, including cybersecurity, application development and sustainment, connectivity and network services, and enterprise computing and cloud services, for the Solutions for Information Technology Enterprise (SITE III) contract. CACI will support enterprise IT needs for both the DIA and National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA).

Total backlog as of March 31, 2021 was $22.3 billion compared with $19.9 billion a year ago, an increase of 12.3%. Funded backlog as of March 31, 2021 was $3.0 billion compared with $2.96 billion a year ago, an increase of 1.3%.

Updating FY21 Guidance

As a result of greater than expected impact from COVID-19, including travel restrictions, reduction in government processing of deployment orders, and delays in task orders, we are lowering our FY21 revenue guidance. We are raising net income and diluted earnings per share guidance to reflect a number of factors, including strong operating performance, lower program and indirect expenses, and certain tax benefits. Specifically, we now expect a full-year effective tax rate of between 8% and 9% driven by higher R&D tax credits and a material tax benefit we expect to realize in our fiscal fourth quarter. We are also reflecting a reduced share count driven by our recently announced accelerated share repurchase. The table below summarizes our FY21 guidance and represents our views as of April 21, 2021.

CACI-Earnings Release

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.

Reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted Net Income

(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 core operating performance. We believe that these performance measures provide management and investors with useful information in assessing trends in our ongoing operating performance and may provide greater visibility in understanding the long-term financial performance of the Company. 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 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.
