CACI International Inc (NYSE:CACI), a leading provider of expertise and technology to government enterprise and mission customers, announced results today for its fiscal fourth quarter and full year ended June 30, 2021.

CEO Commentary and Outlook

John Mengucci, CACI’s President and CEO, said, “Our fourth quarter results capped another strong year for CACI. We again achieved our financial commitments, delivering organic revenue growth above our addressable market, margin expansion, and robust cash flow, as well as record backlog. Our financial performance supported a flexible and opportunistic capital deployment strategy, enabling us to both invest ahead of need and execute a value-creating accelerated share repurchase. In Fiscal Year 2022, we see continued growth above our addressable market, margin expansion, and strong cash flow generation, and remain committed to delivering value for our customers and our shareholders.”

Fourth Quarter Results

Revenue in Q4 FY21 increased 5% year-over-year as reported and 4% organically. The year-over-year decrease in operating income was driven by higher indirect expenses, the impact of tax elections taken under the CARES Act, and normal fluctuations in revenue mix. The year-over-year increases in net income and adjusted net income were due to a lower effective tax rate, partially offset by higher interest expense and the factors influencing operating income. Diluted earnings per share and adjusted diluted earnings per share increased faster than their respective net income metrics due to a lower share count as a result of the $500 million accelerated share repurchase announced in March 2021. The decrease in cash from operations, excluding MARPA, was driven by higher cash tax payments due to the aforementioned tax elections. The decrease in free cash flow was due to the same factors cited above, as well as higher capital expenditures.

Fourth Quarter Awards

Contract awards in Q4 FY21 totaled $3.6 billion, with approximately 40% for new business to CACI. For the full year, contract awards totaled $9.2 billion, with over 40% 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, single-award contract, with a ceiling value of $447 million, by the National Security Agency (NSA) to provide process and mission technology in support of the signals intelligence and cybersecurity missions that provide our nation’s policymakers and military with actionable intelligence to secure and defend vital networks.
• An eight-year, single-award contract, with a ceiling value of $373 million, to provide mission expertise for geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) analysis to U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM).

• A five-year, single-award task order, with a ceiling value of $1.4 billion, by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) to continue providing mission expertise in support of countering emerging threats.

Fiscal Year Results

Revenue in FY21 increased 6% year-over-year as reported and 5% organically. The year-over-year increase in operating income was driven by strong contract execution and lower contract costs, and faster growth in higher-margin technology revenue. The year-over-year increases in net income and adjusted net income were due to higher operating income, a lower effective tax rate, and lower interest expense. The increase in cash from operations, excluding MARPA, was driven by higher net income, partially offset by higher cash taxes paid as a result of tax elections taken under the CARES Act. The increase in free cash flow was due to the same factors cited above.

CACI-Earnings 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 core 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 Adjusted Net Income and Diluted EPS to Adjusted Diluted EPS

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, 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.

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 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 this measure allows 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.
