Factors to Note

CACI's to-be-reported quarter's performance is likely to have benefited from its large pipeline of government projects.

The company's total backlog as of Dec 31, 2021, was $24.1 billion. Back-to-back contract wins at regular intervals might have favored the to-be-reported quarter's performance.

Increasing inorganic revenue growth and continued margin expansion may get reflected in the fiscal third-quarter results. On its last earnings conference call, the company had stated that it expects 92% of fiscal 2022 revenues to come from existing programs, 4% from recompetes and around 3% from newly acquired businesses.

Fixed-price contracts might have contributed to the third-quarter fiscal 2022 performance as well.
