CACI Reports Results for Its Fiscal 2026 Third Quarter
RESTON, Va.--( BUSINESS WIRE)--CACI International Inc (NYSE: CACI) announced results today for its fiscal third quarter ended March 31, 2026.
“CACI delivered another outstanding quarter, reflecting the strength of our strategy and our continued ability to win in the market with differentiated capabilities and exceptional execution. Closing the ARKA Group acquisition represents another significant strategic step in advancing our ability to address our customers’ most critical missions in high‑growth, high-demand markets,” said John Mengucci, CACI President and Chief Executive Officer. “We are raising our full year revenue guidance to reflect the addition of ARKA, and raising our EBITDA margin guidance to reflect the stronger performance of our organic business. In addition, we are reaffirming our free cash flow guidance even as we absorb additional costs from the ARKA transaction. Our strong results reinforce our confidence in achieving our Fiscal Year 2026 guidance, our 3‑year targets, and in our ability to deliver long‑term value for our customers and shareholders.”

This non-GAAP measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. For additional information regarding this non-GAAP measure, see the related explanation and reconciliation to the GAAP measure included below in this release.
The DSO calculations for three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, exclude the impact of the Company's Master Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement (MARPA), which was 8 days and 9 days, respectively.
Percentages are calculated using the underlying whole dollar amounts. Some percentages may vary slightly due to rounding.
Revenues in the third quarter of fiscal year 2026 increased 8.5% year-over-year, driven by 6.8% 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 were driven by higher income from operations and share repurchases made during fiscal year 2025, partially offset by higher interest expense and a higher tax provision. The increase in cash from operations, excluding MARPA, was driven primarily by higher net income and strong working capital management.
Third Quarter Contract Awards
Contract awards in the third quarter totaled $2.2 billion, with approximately 26% 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:
Total backlog as of March 31, 2026, was $33.4 billion compared with $31.4 billion a year ago, an increase of 6.4%. Funded backlog as of March 31, 2026, was $5.0 billion compared with $4.2 billion a year ago, an increase of 19.0%.
Additional Highlights
Fiscal Year 2026 Guidance
The table below summarizes our fiscal year 2026 guidance and represents our views as of April 22, 2026. Our current guidance now includes the expected contribution from our acquisition of ARKA Group, which closed on March 9, 2026, including revenue of approximately $150 million, as well as related transaction expenses and additional interest expense. In addition, our current guidance reflects an EBITDA margin range of 11.8% to 11.9%, which is an increase from our prior EBITDA margin expectations of 11.7% to 11.8%.

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.

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 and 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 MARPA for the sale of certain designated eligible U.S. government receivables up to a maximum amount of $350.0 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.
