Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items

• Major Subsequent Acquisition: On May 3, 2004, CACI acquired the Defense and Intelligence Group (D&IG) of American Management System for $415 million in cash. To fund this, the company secured a new $550 million credit facility (comprising a $200 million revolving credit and a $350 million term loan).
• Pending Acquisition: A Letter of Intent was signed on March 1, 2004, to acquire an IT services company for approximately $30 million, expected to close in Q1 FY2005.
• Legal & Contingencies:
  • Abu Ghraib Allegations: An employee was identified in a report regarding detainee abuse. CACI initiated an independent investigation and is cooperating with government inquiries. No disciplinary action or charges have been confirmed to date.
  • Indiana Tax Examination: The company is under examination regarding taxable presence in Indiana (1991-2000). Exposure is estimated between $0 and $1.5 million.
  • ASBCA Appeal: A pending appeal against the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) regarding breach of contract damages could have a material impact on earnings if successful.
• Market Risks: The company faces risks related to U.S. government funding priorities, competition, and foreign currency fluctuations (approx. 4.2% of revenue from international operations).

Investor Verification Checklist

• Debt Covenants: Verify compliance with the new $550 million credit facility covenants (leverage, net worth, fixed-charge coverage) following the D&IG acquisition.
• Integration Costs: Monitor the impact of integrating the D&IG acquisition and other recent purchases on future operating margins and cash flow.
• Legal Exposure: Track the outcome of the ASBCA appeal and the status of the Abu Ghraib employee investigation for potential financial or reputational impact.
• Accounts Receivable: Review the increase in Days Sales Outstanding (84 days) and the $39.8 million increase in receivables on the cash flow statement.
• Stock-Based Compensation: Note that reported earnings do not include stock-based compensation costs under APB 25; pro forma EPS would be lower ($1.29 diluted for 9 months).
