(2)

The DSO calculations for three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 exclude the impact of the Company's Master Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement (MARPA), which was 6 days and 5 days, respectively.

Revenues in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 increased 11.2 percent year-over-year, driven by 9.9 percent organic growth. The increase in income from operations was driven by higher revenues and gross profit. Growth in diluted earnings per share and adjusted diluted earnings per share was driven by higher income from operations and a lower share count, partially offset by a higher tax provision. The decrease in cash from operations, excluding MARPA, was driven primarily by changes in working capital partially offset by higher earnings.

First Quarter Contract Awards

Contract awards in the first quarter totaled $3.3 billion, with nearly 75 percent for new business to CACI. Awards exclude ceiling values of multi-award, indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts. Some notable awards during the quarter were:

  • CACI was awarded a five-year task order valued at up to $805 million to provide engineering services and technology to the U.S. Navy NavalX under the Department of Defense Information Analysis Center's (DoD IAC) multiple-award contract (MAC) vehicle.
  • CACI was awarded a five-year task order valued at up to $314 million to provide engineering services and technology to the U.S. Navy Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) under the Department of Defense Information Analysis Center's (DoD IAC) multiple-award contract (MAC) vehicle. Through the NUWC Engineering and Modernization Operations (NEMO) program, CACI will develop, deliver, and train sailors in the areas of integration support, logistics, project management, cyber capabilities, and analysis. These activities will allow the customer to engage in new fleet exercises and events, test new capabilities, and evaluate vulnerabilities that will ultimately reduce the risk of cyber intrusions.
  • CACI was awarded a five-year task order valued at up to $273 million to continue providing intelligence expertise to the U.S. Central Command (USCENTCOM). Awarded through the U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM), CACI's leading intelligence analysts will assist in safeguarding U.S. forces from foreign adversarial threats and will continue to provide USCENTCOM with intelligence, security operations, all-source and identity intelligence, biometric-related analysis, and production supporting tasks ensuring decision makers have essential intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) resources and actionable analysis.
  • CACI was awarded a five-year task order valued at up to $226 million to provide expertise to the U.S. military.

Total backlog as of September 30, 2024 was $32.4 billion compared with $26.7 billion a year ago, an increase of 21.3 percent. Funded backlog as of September 30, 2024 was $4.3 billion compared with $4.2 billion a year ago, an increase of 2.4 percent.

Additional Highlights

  • CACI won two Nunn-Perry Awards for excellence as part of the DoD Mentor Protégé Program. These recognitions mark the sixth and seventh consecutive Nunn-Perry awards the company has received since 2014. This prestigious honor recognizes CACI's collaboration with EXPANSIA, a service-disabled, veteran-owned small business, and Mayvin, a woman-owned small business management consulting firm that provides a wide range of professional and technical services.

Subsequent to quarter end:

  • CACI completed the acquisition of Applied Insight, a Northern Virginia-based portfolio company of Acacia Group, in an all-cash transaction. In alignment with CACI's mission to deliver distinctive expertise and differentiated technology to meet its customers' greatest national security challenges, Applied Insight delivers proven cloud migration, adoption, and transformation capabilities, coupled with intimate customer relationships across the Department of Defense (DoD) and Intelligence Communities (IC).
  • Scott C. Morrison was elected by CACI shareholders to its Board of Directors, effective immediately. Morrison will serve as an independent director on the Board. Morrison joins CACI's Board of Directors from his most recent role as executive vice president and chief financial officer of Ball Corporation, sustainable packaging solutions for beverage, food, and household products customers.
  • Charles L. Szews was elected by CACI shareholders to its Board of Directors, effective immediately. Szews will serve as an independent director on the board. From 2012 to 2015, Szews served as chief executive officer (CEO) of Oshkosh Corporation, a designer, manufacturer, and marketer of specialty vehicles and vehicle bodies.

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 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.

Note: Numbers may not sum due to rounding.

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

The Company views EBITDA and 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. EBITDA is a commonly used non-GAAP measure when comparing our results with those of other companies. We define EBITDA as GAAP net income plus net interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization expense (including depreciation within direct costs). We consider 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, which we do not believe are indicative of our operating performance. EBITDA margin is 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, a non-GAAP measure, 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 $250.0 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.
