CACI International Inc, a leading information technology and network solutions provider to the federal government, announced today record results for its third fiscal quarter and nine months ending March 31, 2004. Net income for the third quarter of Fiscal Year 2004 (FY04) increased 38 percent, while revenue was up 30 percent compared to the third quarter of Fiscal Year 2003 (FY03). For the first nine months of FY04, net income was up 37 percent, while revenue was up 28 percent versus a year ago. The increase in earnings and revenue in the quarter and for the first nine months of FY04 resulted from continuing growth in CACI's systems integration, engineering services, and knowledge management offerings of its domestic operations. This growth is a result of the company's strategic focus on national security, the global war on terrorism, and the reshaping of the way government agencies communicate, use and disseminate information, deliver services, and conduct business. Third Quarter Margin Increase Driven by Operational Efficiencies and Mix of Business Net income for the third quarter of FY04 was $15.8 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, an increase of 38 percent over net income of $11.5 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, reported in the third quarter of FY03. Revenue for the quarter was $288.4 million, an increase of 30 percent over third quarter FY03 revenue of $222.0 million. Operating income in the quarter was $25.2 million, an increase of 41 percent over third quarter FY03 operating income of $17.9 million. For the third quarter, the operating margin increased to 8.7 percent from 8.0 percent a year earlier. The increased operating margin was driven primarily by continued operational efficiencies and a favorable mix of business. The growth of the company's operations, including recent acquisitions, continued to be driven by increased demand for mission-critical support for intelligence community customers, systems integration, engineering and logistics, and knowledge management support for the Department of Defense (DoD) and civilian agencies. Internal revenue growth for the company for the quarter was 11 percent. Third Quarter Highlights The following highlights occurred during the third fiscal quarter: * Contract awards for the quarter totaled approximately $395 million. * Operating cash flow for the quarter improved by $25.9 million. * Revenue from DoD customers increased 37 percent, driven primarily by higher demand from customers such as strategic and tactical organizations in the military intelligence community, the U.S. Army's Intelligence and Security Command, the U.S. Navy's Chief of Naval Aviation, and the Naval Surface Warfare Command. * Federal civilian agency revenue grew 17 percent primarily from higher volumes of work for customers such as the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and other federal civilian agencies. * The acquisition of CMS Information Services, Inc. (CMS), which closed on March 1, 2004, broadens CACI's expertise in network solutions, financial management systems, and software engineering and integration. * The agreement to purchase the assets of the Defense and Intelligence Business Group of American Management Systems (AMS), with estimated revenue of $250 million in calendar year 2003, was announced. Nine Months FY04 Results Continue to Reflect Increasing Profitability and Growth in Key Areas Net income for the first nine months of FY04 was $43.0 million, or $1.44 per diluted share, an increase of 37 percent over net income of $31.4 million, or $1.07 per diluted share, reported for the first nine months of FY03. For the first nine months of FY04, revenue increased 28 percent, to $787.5 million, compared with $614.5 million reported in the same period of FY03. Operating income for the first nine months of FY04 was $69.0 million, up 40 percent over operating income of $49.3 million reported a year earlier. The operating margin in the first nine months of FY04 improved to 8.8 percent from 8.0 percent a year earlier. The higher operating margin was driven primarily by operational cost efficiencies, cost synergies associated with acquisitions, and a favorable mix of business. Revenue growth was driven by increased demand from federal government customers, such as those noted in the third quarter above. Internal revenue growth was 12 percent for the first nine months of the company's FY04. Commentary Commenting on the results, Dr. J.P. London, CACI's Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer, said, "Our trailing twelve months revenue exceeded $1 billion for the first time in CACI's history. We are extremely pleased to have surpassed this goal one year ahead of our original plan. Our third quarter results were driven by our focus on national priorities and the influx of mission critical work we have been experiencing since the beginning of this fiscal year. Worldwide, we continued to increase the number of CACI employees who directly support our clients. Over ten percent of our employees are located outside of the United States. We expanded our operating margins relative to last year. We saw our operating cash flow improve significantly. We announced contract awards with long-term clients as well as an award with new clients in the Social Security Administration as a result of our acquisition of CMS on March 1, 2004. Finally, we announced that we are working on the largest acquisition in CACI's 42-year history: the purchase of the defense and intelligence business of American Management Systems, which will rapidly expand our presence in the Department of Defense and intelligence community going forward." Dr. London continued, "Looking ahead to the final quarter of our FY04, we anticipate a successful completion of the AMS transaction. Having had the opportunity to personally meet several of their key customers and a large number of their employees, we are very enthusiastic in welcoming them to the CACI team. The AMS transaction is a major step toward CACI's stated goal of becoming a $2 billion enterprise by our Fiscal Year 2008, with increasing value to our shareholders. With our current revenue run rate and the AMS transaction in place, we anticipate that CACI's Fiscal Year 2005 (FY05) revenue should approach $1.5 billion, and that we should be able to continue to enhance our profit margins. We believe that through the combination of our growing base of business and this transaction we can continue to deliver enhanced value to our clients and to our shareholders." Update on Purchase of Defense and Intelligence Business Group of American Management Systems Progress has been made toward a near term closing of CACI's acquisition of the Defense and Intelligence Group of AMS. Sufficient shares have been tendered to CGI, Inc. to ensure that CGI will acquire control of AMS, and CGI has extended its offer until late April in an effort to capture at least 90% of all shares outstanding. Both CACI and CGI have passed the Hart Scott Rodino regulatory hurdle without comment from regulators. The companies now are awaiting the close of the extended tender offer period and receipt of Exon-Florio approval before CACI's acquisition can be closed. Company Guidance Increased for Remainder of FY04 The company also increased its guidance for its full year FY04, and issued updated guidance for its fourth fiscal quarter. This guidance excludes any revenue or income from the pending purchase of the Defense and Intelligence Business Group of AMS. The table below summarizes the guidance ranges for each of those periods and shows the change over the same periods in FY03: (In millions except for earnings per share) Q4'04 Change Total FY'04 Change Revenue $295-$305 29%-33% $1,083-$1,093 28%-30% Net Income $16.5-$17.1 24%-29% $59.5-$60.1 33%-34% Diluted earnings per share $0.55-$0.57 22%-27% $1.99-$2.01 31%-32% Diluted weighted average shares 30.1 29.9 Investors are reminded that actual results may differ from these estimates for the reasons described at the end of this release.
