Read MoreHide Full Article
CACI International (CACI - Free Report) reported solid second-quarter fiscal 2020 (ended Dec 31, 2019) results, wherein both earnings and revenues beat estimates.
Earnings were $3.11 per share, up 15% year over year. The bottom line also beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.78.
Revenues were $1.4 billion, up 18.1% from the year-ago quarter. The rise was primarily attributable to new business wins, acquired contracts and on-contract growth, which aided organic expansion. The top line also outpaced the consensus mark of $1.37 billion.
CACI International, Inc. Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Contract awards in the reported quarter were worth $2.7 billion, up a whopping 108% year over year, of which approximately 60% came from new businesses. Revenues from contract awards excluded ceiling values of multi-award, indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contracts.
Total backlog, as of Dec 31, 2019, was $20.3 billion, 61% higher than the prior-year quarter. Funded backlog at the end of December was $2.8 billion, up 14%.
In terms of customer mix, the Department of Defense accounted for about 71% of total revenues in the quarter. Federal Civilian Agencies contributed about 24.5%, while Commercial and other customers accounted for 4.5% of revenues.
Revenues generated as a prime contractor and a subcontractor accounted for 90.9% and 9.1% of total revenues, respectively.
During the quarter, CACI secured several notable contracts. These included a five-year, $1.1-billion task order to provide advanced and full lifecycle information technology support to enterprise and mission technology.
Margins
Operating income for the quarter came in at $110.19 million, up 7.7% from the year-ago quarter.
Operating income margin contracted 80 basis points (bps) to 7.3%. Higher interest expenses were an overhang on margins.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
At the quarter-end, CACI had cash and cash equivalents of $68.6 million compared with $83.2 million in the previous quarter.
Total long-term (net of current portion) debt was $1.55 billion.
Cash flow from operations, as of Sep 30, 2019, was $237 million compared with $114.6 million in the previous quarter. The increase was driven by growth in billing and collections processes as well as the company’s Master Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement (MARPA).
