However, the bottom line declined by 27.5% from the year-ago quarter’s figure of $6.26 per share. This decline in earnings was primarily due to the higher tax rate compared with the year-ago quarter.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, CACI reported revenues of $1.64 billion, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.66 billion.
