We are confident in our ability to continue to deliver value to our customers and shareholders.”

First Quarter Results

(in millions except earnings per share and DSO)	Q1, FY21	Q1, FY20	% Change
Revenue	$1,459.5	$1,363.4	7.0%
Operating income	$134.4	$100.2	34.2%
Net income	$93.6	$68.0	37.8%
Diluted earnings per share	$3.67	$ 2.66	38.0%
Net cash provided by operating activities excluding MARPA1	$192.7	$114.6	68.2%
Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), a non-GAAP measure2	$165.4	$128.3	28.9%
Days sales outstanding (DSO)3	54	59

(1)		First quarter FY21 and first quarter FY20 net cash provided by operating activities exclude CACI’s Master Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement (MARPA). For more details, see the Reconciliation of Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities to Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities Excluding MARPA on page 9 of this release.
(2)		See the Reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) on page 9 of this release.
(3)		The DSO calculations for first quarter FY21 and first quarter FY20 exclude the impact of the Company’s MARPA, which was 7 days and 6 days, respectively.

Revenue in Q1 FY21 increased 7.0% year-over-year as reported and 6.1% organically. The year-over-year increase in operating income was driven by higher revenue, strong operating performance, favorable fixed-price contract performance, and lower indirect costs. The year-over-year increase in net income was due to higher operating income and lower interest expense, partially offset by a higher effective tax rate. The increase in cash from operations, excluding MARPA, was driven by higher net income and favorable working capital management.

First Quarter Contract Awards

Contract awards in Q1 FY21 totaled $1.8 billion. These awards exclude ceiling values of multi-award, indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts. Some notable awards during the quarter were:

• A five-year, $450 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to provide enterprise technology in support of Desktop Support Services to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Headquarters. This represents both recompete and expansion of prior work.
• A six-year single-award contract, with a ceiling value of more than $152 million, by the Department of Veteran Affairs to provide enterprise expertise in support of the department's Financial Management Business Transformation Program (FMBT).
• A four-year, 10-month task order, with a ceiling value of more than $59 million, to provide enterprise expertise and technology to the Office of Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) (OUSD(C)) in support of the Defense Finance and Accounting Service's Comptroller critical mission systems.
• A five-year task order, with a ceiling value of $86.5 million, by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to provide mission expertise in support of the Homeland Security Investigation (HSI) division.

Total backlog as of September 30, 2020 was $21.9 billion compared with $19.5 billion a year ago, an increase of 13%. Funded backlog as of September 30, 2020 was $3.4 billion compared with $3.3 billion a year ago, an increase of 4%.

Reconciliation of Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities to
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities Excluding MARPA
(Unaudited)

The Company defines net cash provided by operating activities excluding CACI’s Master Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement (MARPA) as net cash provided by operating activities calculated in accordance with GAAP, adjusted to exclude net cash received from CACI’s MARPA for the sale of certain designated eligible U.S. government receivables. Under the MARPA, the Company can sell eligible receivables, including certain billed and unbilled receivables up to a maximum amount of $200.0 million. The Company provides net cash provided by operating activities excluding MARPA to allow investors to more easily compare current period results to prior period results and to results of our peers. This non-GAAP measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Net cash provided by operating activities excluding MARPA	$	192,695		$	114,628

Reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA)
(Unaudited)

The Company views Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, both of which are defined as non-GAAP measures, as important indicators of performance, consistent with the manner in which management measures and forecasts the Company’s performance. Adjusted EBITDA is a commonly used non-GAAP measure when comparing our results with those of other companies. We define Adjusted EBITDA as GAAP net income plus net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, including depreciation within direct costs, and earnout adjustments. We consider Adjusted EBITDA to be a useful metric for management and investors to evaluate and compare the ongoing operating performance of our business on a consistent basis across reporting periods, as it eliminates the effect of non-cash items such as depreciation of tangible assets, amortization of intangible assets primarily recognized in business combinations, as well as the effect of earnout gains and losses, which we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA margin is adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
