Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Revenue Growth: Revenues increased 31% year-over-year for both the quarter and the six-month period. Approximately 57-63% of this growth was organic, with the remainder driven by acquisitions.
- Acquisition Impact: The acquisition of QuesTech contributed $8.9 million in revenue for the quarter, while IDS contributed approximately $0.4 million. QuesTech also added $31 million in preliminary goodwill.
- Cost Structure: Direct costs as a percentage of revenue increased to 57.3% (quarter) and 56.6% (six months) from 53.8% in the prior year, driven by higher equipment purchases and subcontract costs for FAA and DoJ contracts.
- Cash Flow: Operating cash flow turned negative ($2.3 million used) for the six months ended Dec 31, 1998, compared to $8.6 million provided in the prior year. This was primarily due to $6.0 million in income tax payments and increased receivables.
- Debt: Long-term debt increased significantly from $29.8 million to $77.4 million to fund the QuesTech acquisition.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
- Year 2000 Compliance: The Company is executing a compliance program targeting full readiness by July 1999. Estimated costs for new finance and project management systems are $2 million (50% spent). The Company notes potential risks regarding delayed government payments if customer systems fail.
- Liquidity: Despite low cash on hand ($64,000), the Company maintains a $125 million revolving line of credit with $48.5 million available. Management believes internal funds and credit facilities are sufficient for future needs.
- Legal Proceedings: A lawsuit against the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) remains unresolved. CACI seeks approximately $2.9 million in damages, while ADOT has counterclaimed for over $100 million. Settlement discussions are ongoing.
- Forward-Looking Risks: Risks include changes in government spending, competition, and the Year 2000 readiness of customers and suppliers.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the final purchase price allocation for the QuesTech acquisition, as the $31 million goodwill figure is preliminary.
- Monitor the resolution of the ADOT litigation, specifically the $100 million counterclaim.
- Assess the Company's Year 2000 compliance progress and potential cash flow impacts from delayed government payments.
- Review the trend in direct costs as a percentage of revenue to ensure margin stability as equipment-heavy contracts mature.
- Confirm the utilization of the $125 million credit line given the low cash balance of $64,000.
