CACI International Reports Solid Q1 Results
CACI International reported solid first-quarter fiscal 2019 results with healthy year-over-year increase in both earnings and revenues. The company benefited from organic revenue growth, expanding margins, and record awards and contract funding.
Earnings for the reported quarter were $3.10 per share compared with $1.67 in the year-ago quarter. The bottom line surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.02.
Quarterly revenues were $1.17 billion compared with $1.09 billion in the year-ago quarter. The 7.4% revenue rise was primarily attributable to new business wins, acquired contracts and on-contract growth, which aided organic growth. The reported revenues outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.15 billion.
Quarter Details
Contract awards in the reported quarter were worth $2.54 billion, up 111% year over year, of which approximately 60% came from new businesses. Contract funding orders were $1.7 billion, up 14.2%.
Total backlog as of Sep 30, 2018 was $13 billion, 17.5% higher than prior- year quarter. Funded backlog at September-end was $2.7 billion.
In terms of customer mix, the Department of Defense accounted for about 70.2% of total revenues in the reported quarter. Federal Civilian Agencies contributed about 25.1% while Commercial and other customers accounted for 4.7% of revenues.
Among the highlights of the fiscal first quarter was CACI International’s buyout of the Systems Engineering and Acquisition Support Services Business Unit of CSRA LLC. This acquisition expended the company’s relationship with the U.S. Navy.
During the quarter, awards bagged by CACI International included a five-year, $413 million award with the U.S. Army Communications-Electronics Research, Development, and Engineering Center; a four-year, $194 million task order by a federal civilian client and another five-year $162 million task order from U.S. Army, among others.

Operating income for the quarter came in at $99.6 million up 48% from the year-ago quarter. Improved program execution, product sales, benefits related to the adoption of ASC 606 and indirect cost control primarily drove the impressive growth in operating income. Tax reforms under ASU 2016-09 led to lower tax rate, which also benefited the operating income for the quarter.
Operating income margin expanded 230 basis points (bps) year over year to 8.5% in the quarter.
