Is a Beat Likely for CACI International (CACI) in Q2 Earnings?
Read MoreHide Full Article
CACI International (CACI - Free Report) is likely to beat expectations when it reports second-quarter fiscal 2024 results after market close on Jan 24.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter fiscal 2024 revenues is pegged at $1.83 billion, indicating an improvement of 11.1% from the year-ago quarter. The consensus mark for non-GAAP earnings stands at $4.50 per share, implying a 5.1% increase from the year-ago quarter’s earnings of $4.28 per share.
The company's earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate twice in the trailing four quarters while missing on two occasions, the average surprise being 2.5%.
In the last reported quarter, CACI’s non-GAAP earnings of $4.36 per share missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $4.52. However, revenues of $1.85 billion came higher than the consensus mark of $1.69 billion.
Let’s see how things have shaped up before the upcoming announcement.
CACI's to-be-reported quarter's performance is likely to have benefited from its large pipeline of government projects. The company has been winning a record number of deals for a while, reflecting its disciplined business development actions, consistent operational excellence and high customer satisfaction. The reliability provided by CACI’s services makes it a preferred choice among contractors.
In the last reported financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2024, CACI won contracts worth $3.1 billion. Management secured several notable deals, including a $1.3 billion eight-year single-award technology task order to provide global enterprise network modernization to an Intelligence Community customer.
The company's total backlog as of Sep 30, 2023 was $26.7 billion. Back-to-back contract wins at regular intervals might have favored the to-be-reported quarter's performance.
Increasing organic revenue growth and continued margin expansion may be reflected in fiscal second-quarter results. Fixed-price contracts might have contributed to the second-quarter fiscal 2024 performance as well.
In terms of contract type, our model estimates suggest revenues from cost-plus-fee-type contracts, fixed-price contracts, and time and material-type contracts to increase year over year by 10.5%, 1% and 8.3% to $1.05 billion, $514.5 million and $202.3 million, respectively.
In terms of the customer mix, we expect revenues from the Department of Defense and Commercial and Other to grow 11.4% and 1.4% to $1.29 billion and $90.8 million, respectively. However, we project Federal Civilian Agencies revenues to decline 3.2% to $386.9 million.
However, higher interest expenses are likely to have somewhat offset the benefits of the aforementioned factors. In the first quarter of fiscal 2024, the company’s interest expenses & others increased 57.9% on a year-over-year basis.
