CACI Reports Record Second Quarter and First Half Results

ARLINGTON, Va., -- CACI International Inc announced record results for its second fiscal quarter and first half ended December 31, 2002. Revenue for the second quarter of Fiscal Year 2003 (FY03) increased 26 percent while income from continuing operations was up 45 percent compared with the prior year. Revenue increased 27 percent and income from continuing operations was up 42 percent in the first half of FY03 compared to Fiscal Year 2002 (FY02). Revenue and earnings growth in the quarter and first half of FY03 was due to increased levels of work in all of the company's areas of service offerings. Second Quarter, FY03 Results from Continuing Operations Revenue for the second quarter of FY03 was $204.5 million, an increase of 26 percent over second quarter FY02 revenue of $162.3 million. Revenue growth in the second quarter resulted from higher levels of systems integration, managed network services, engineering services, and knowledge management business from federal customers. Internal revenue growth in the quarter was 22 percent. Income from continuing operations for the quarter was $10.6 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, an increase of 45 percent over second quarter FY02 income from continuing operations of $7.3 million, or $0.30 per diluted share. The increase in income from continuing operations was due to the continued expansion of the company's business base, relatively lower levels of indirect costs and selling expenses, and lower interest charges. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), increased 28 percent, to $19.7 million, or 9.6 percent of revenue, compared with $15.5 million, or 9.5 percent of revenue, a year ago. The improvement was primarily driven by lower relative indirect operating costs. Commenting on the results, Dr. J.P. London, CACI's Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are extremely pleased with our second quarter results. Like the previous quarter, this quarter was characterized by increasing levels of demand for our services by our government customers who are key in providing and supporting our nation's defense, intelligence and homeland security needs. The pace of activities across our operations produced strong growth, especially in our systems integration and engineering services area where we are providing leading edge C4ISR (command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance) support to the Department of Defense. We also provided higher levels of key logistics management and business improvement services to federal civilian agencies." Dr. London continued, "Our internal growth continues to be strong, fueled by a 27 percent increase in our federal government business, compared to the second quarter of last year. Our operating margin increased to 8.2 percent, over one-half a percent higher than a year ago. At the same time, the profit margin on our continuing operations increased to 5.2 percent, also over one-half a percent higher than a year ago. Additionally, we experienced excellent revenue and profit contributions from our most recent acquisitions, the Government Solutions Division of Condor and Acton Burnell. Overall, this quarter has positioned CACI to continue on a record pace for the second half of our fiscal year." First Half FY03 Results from Continuing Operations For the first half of FY03, revenue increased 27 percent to $392.5 million compared with $308.1 million reported in the first half of FY02. Revenue growth in the first half of FY03 was driven by increased demands from federal customers across all major offerings. Internal revenue growth in the first half of FY03 was 19 percent. Income from continuing operations for the first half was $20 million, or $0.68 per diluted share, an increase of 42 percent over first half FY02 income from continuing operations of $14.0 million, or $0.58 per diluted share. The increase in income from continuing operations in the first six months of FY03 was primarily due to the continued expansion of the company's business base, relatively lower levels of indirect costs and selling expenses, and approximately $500 thousand in interest income. EBITDA increased 26 percent, to $37.2 million, or 9.5 percent of revenue, compared with $29.4 million, or 9.5 percent of revenue, a year ago. Second Quarter Highlights The following highlights occurred during the second fiscal quarter: * The company received approximately $300 million in contract awards in the quarter. * Internal revenue growth for the company was 22 percent. * The acquisition of Acton Burnell, Inc., which closed on October 16, 2002, has expanded CACI's support to the U.S. Navy and complemented the company's presence in the Department of Veterans' Affairs. * The company entered into a letter of intent to acquire the stock of a company that provides intelligence, information technology, training and logistics services in support of critical military and intelligence operations and homeland security initiatives for the federal government. The closing of the acquisition, contemplated late in the third quarter, is contingent upon the execution of definitive agreements and the completion of due diligence satisfactory to CACI. * Shareholders, at the company's annual meeting in November, elected three new directors to the board: Michael J. Bayer, Vice Chairman of DoD's Business Board and Chairman of the Secretary of the Air Force Advisory Group; Arthur L. Money, former Assistant Secretary of Defense for Command, Control, Communications and Intelligence; and General Larry D. Welch, USAF (Retired), former Chief of Staff of the U.S. Air Force. CACI's board now numbers eleven, of which ten are outside directors. Company Increases Earnings Guidance The company also increased its earnings guidance for its full year FY03, and issued initial guidance for its third and fourth fiscal quarters. This guidance excludes any revenue or income from potential acquisitions that might be closed prior to the end of FY03. The table below summarizes the guidance ranges for each of those periods: (In millions except for earnings Q3'03 Q4'03 Total FY'03 per share) Revenue $209-$217 $214-$226 $815-$835 Income from Continuing Operations $10.6-$11.4 $11.6-$12.2 $42.2-$43.6 Basic earnings per share $0.37-$0.40 $0.40-$0.42 $1.47-$1.51 Basic weighted average shares 28.9 29.1 28.5 Diluted earnings per share $0.36-$0.39 $0.39-$0.41 $1.43-$1.48 Diluted weighted average shares 29.7 29.9 29.5 Should the company perform in accordance with these estimates, revenue for the third quarter is expected to be up 14 to 19 percent over revenue of $182.8 million reported in the third fiscal quarter of FY02. Income from continuing operations for the quarter is expected to be up 23 to 33 percent over the $8.6 million reported last year. For the fourth quarter, initial guidance indicates that revenue is expected to be up 12 to 18 percent over revenue of $191.0 million in the year earlier quarter. Income from continuing operations is expected to be up 24 to 31 percent over the $9.3 million reported in the same period of FY02. For the fiscal year, based on this guidance, the company estimates that revenue will be up 20 to 22 percent over revenue of $681.9 million reported for FY2002, and income from continuing operations for the year is expected to be up 32 to 37 percent over last year. Actual results, however, may differ from these estimates for the reasons described below.
