CACI International (CACI - Free Report) reported solid fourth-quarter fiscal 2018 results with healthy year-over-year increase in both earnings and revenues. The company benefited from organic revenue growth and expanding margins.

Excluding the tax impact, earnings for the reported quarter were $1.84 per share compared with $1.16 in the year-ago quarter. The bottom line surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.78.

Quarterly revenues were $1.170 billion compared with $1.137 billion in the year-ago quarter.

For fiscal 2018, revenues were $4.467 billion compared with $4.354 billion a year ago.
