Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Revenue Growth: Revenues increased 40% ($34.4 million) for the quarter and 34% ($80.6 million) for the nine months compared to the prior year. Growth was driven by acquisitions (QuesTech and IDS) and increased demand for Year 2000 software renovation services.
- Profitability: Net income rose 15% for the quarter and 20% for the nine months. However, operating margins remained relatively flat (6.0% vs 6.3% prior year quarter) due to a higher proportion of direct costs (equipment and subcontractors) relative to labor.
- Debt and Liquidity: Long-term debt increased significantly to $69.0 million from $29.8 million at the prior fiscal year-end, primarily to fund the $42 million QuesTech acquisition. Cash and equivalents decreased to $0.9 million from $2.1 million.
- Customer Mix: Department of Defense revenue share increased to 51.6% of total revenue for the quarter, while commercial revenue share decreased to 15.1%.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
- Acquisitions: QuesTech contributed $31.4 million in revenue for the nine-month period. The company expects continued growth from Year 2000 remediation contracts with federal agencies (FAA, GSA) and the Department of Justice.
- Year 2000 Compliance: Management estimates total compliance costs at approximately $2.2 million, with 50% already spent. The company targets full compliance by July 1999. A primary risk identified is potential delays in government contract payments due to customer system failures.
- Liquidity: The company maintains a $125 million revolving line of credit with $56.8 million available as of March 31, 1999. Management believes internal funds and credit facilities are sufficient for foreseeable needs.
- Legal Proceedings: An ongoing lawsuit with the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) remains unresolved. ADOT has counterclaimed for over $100 million; CACI is seeking approximately $2.9 million in damages. Management believes the outcome will not have a material adverse effect.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the final purchase price allocation for the QuesTech acquisition, specifically the $31 million goodwill allocation, as it remains preliminary.
- Monitor the status of Year 2000 compliance for major government customers to assess the risk of payment delays.
- Review the resolution status of the Arizona Department of Transportation litigation and potential exposure to the $100 million counterclaim.
- Track the trend of direct costs as a percentage of revenue, which has risen to 59.1% in the quarter, potentially pressuring future margins.
- Confirm the company's ability to maintain liquidity given the low cash balance ($0.9 million) relative to the high debt load ($69 million).
