Key Financial Performance
Revenue (Q4 2025) $2.3 billion, representing 13% year-over-year growth with 5.3% of that being organic. Growth attributed to faster ramp-up of awards, stronger on-contract growth, and successfully defending recompetes.
EBITDA Margin (Q4 2025) 11.5%, slightly above expectations and in line with last year. No specific reasons for change mentioned.
Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share (Q4 2025) $8.40, 27% higher than a year ago. Increase driven by greater operating income, a lower tax provision, and a lower share count, which offset higher interest expense.
Free Cash Flow (Q4 2025) $139 million, reflecting strong profitability and days sales outstanding (DSO) of 56 days. Azure billing terms and milestones in legacy contracts impacted DSO by about 4 days.
Revenue (Fiscal Year 2025) $8.6 billion, representing 16% total growth and 10% organic growth. Growth driven by faster ramp-up of awards, stronger on-contract growth, and successfully defending recompetes.

Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share (Fiscal Year 2025) $26.48, up 26% from the prior year. Growth despite a $54 million increase in interest expense, offset by a lower tax provision.

Key Q&A
Q:How much of the $16 billion pipeline of submitted bids is for new programs launched by customers versus takeaways from an incumbent?
A:The majority of the pipeline would be new work to CACI, with well over half being new customer work. Recompetes account for around 11% of this year's revenue plan at the midpoint.
Q:Was there any impact on margin booking rates or backlog due to the $700 million ceiling reduction in the EITaaS program?
A:No, there was no impact on margin booking rates, backlog, or guidance. The ceiling reduction was from an estimated cost of a 10-year program, and the Air Force can program additional ceiling during the next 8 years of execution as requirements change.
Q:If the Senate moves quickly and a budget is passed faster, can the company hit the top end of its organic growth guidance?
A:Yes, if the government fiscal year '26 CR is shorter and the budget gets passed sooner, the company could see itself towards the higher end of the guidance range. However, multiple factors could influence this.
Q:What is the pathway to mid-teens margins, and what are the levers between expertise and technology to achieve this?
A:The company sees a progression in margins over time, with slightly lower margins in the first half of the year and higher in the second half. The pathway involves leveraging expertise and technology, focusing on impactful customers and programs, and achieving efficiencies in cash flow and operations.
Q:Are awards moving more slowly than usual due to fewer contracting officers?
A:There have been modest impacts, with some award decisions taking longer and slower invoice payment and processing. However, the company is prepared for fiscal year '26 and believes it can hold onto current work longer due to procurement bandwidth constraints.
Q:What is the expectation for book-to-bill for the year given the record pipeline?
A:The company strives to finish the year with a book-to-bill ratio greater than 1 and expects to continue growing backlog, supported by an 11% growth in funded backlog.
Q:What is the update on investments in space and optical terminals?
A:The company is seeing strong demand for its technology, with terminals on Tranche 0, 1, 2, and 3. It is also one of the few vendors selected for Phase 2 of the enterprise space terminal. Investments are on track, with less investment and more delivery now.
Q:Will changes in government-wide IP acquisition contracts transitioning to individual agencies impact the company?
A:No significant impact is expected, as major defense department and intelligence community IT programs will remain unaffected. The company focuses on delivering efficiencies in large enterprise IT programs.
Q:What is the cadence of revenue and growth through the year?
A:Organic growth will start low and move to above the midpoint in the second half of the year, driven by accelerating growth in major programs like Focus Fox, BAGL, and EITaaS.
Q:What is the exposure to federal civilian work, and how is the budget outlook?
A:Federal civilian work accounts for about 6% of the business, with 1% from NASA NCAPS. The company has intentionally shifted focus towards defense and intelligence, minimizing exposure to federal civilian budget changes.
Q:When will the $40 million tax benefit hit, and does the Section 174 benefit extend beyond fiscal '26?
A:The $40 million tax benefit is expected in the second half of the year, likely in Q3 or Q4. The Section 174 benefit will continue, with $50 million this year and next, and then it will step down over the next 3 years.
Q:How meaningful are the changes in software acquisition and Army consolidation?
A:The changes are seen as positive, with software modernization driving efficiencies and faster, better, and cheaper solutions. The company is well-positioned to benefit from these changes.
Q:What is the breakdown of the pipeline and backlog in terms of new work to the market versus new work to CACI?
A:Approximately 60-70% of the pipeline is new work to the market, while 30-40% is takeaway work. The company focuses on delivering differentiated solutions and investing ahead of customer needs.
Q:Is the mounted variant of TLS Manpack included in the recent $400 million contract modification?
A:No, the mounted variant is not part of the $500 million TLS Manpack program. It represents new work and is being developed to meet evolving Army requirements.
Q:How does the fiscal '27 outlook compare to the 3-year targets?
A:The company is increasingly confident in achieving its 3-year targets, with positive developments like tax benefits and strong revenue growth supporting the outlook.
Q:Review of Unclear Management Responses
A:Management avoided directly addressing the specific breakdown of new programs launched by customers versus takeaways from incumbents in the $16 billion pipeline. Additionally, they did not provide detailed milestones or timing for achieving mid-teens margins, and their response to the impact of government-wide IP acquisition contract changes was somewhat vague.
