(2)	The DSO calculations for three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 exclude the impact of the Company’s Master Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement (MARPA), which was 8 days and 9 days, respectively.

Revenues in the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 increased 8 percent year-over-year, driven by 4 percent organic growth as well as acquisitions completed within the prior 12 months. The increase in income from operations was driven by higher revenue and gross profit. Diluted earnings per share and adjusted diluted earnings per share increased due to higher income from operations and a lower tax rate, partially offset by higher interest expense.

First Quarter Contract Awards

Contract awards in the first quarter totaled $3.2 billion, with more than 80 percent for new business to CACI. Awards exclude ceiling values of multi-award, indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts. Some notable awards during the quarter were:

• CACI was awarded Wave 1 of the Enterprise IT as a Service (EITaaS) blanket purchase agreement by the U.S. Air Force valued at $5.7 billion over a 10-year period of performance. CACI recognized approximately $2 billion in first quarter awards and backlog. EITaaS Wave 1 will shift the Air Force from an in-house, base-centric, capabilities-based IT delivery model to an enterprise service delivery model to deliver secure, high-quality, cost-effective services that enable mission success and improve the end-user experience.
• CACI was awarded a $174 million contract to provide the U.S. Navy Military Sealift Command (MSC) with mission expertise and innovative solutions for enhancing naval ship machinery, systems, equipment, and structural performance while reducing costs.
• CACI was awarded a sole source contract with the U.S. Navy potentially worth up to $100 million to support the Navy’s intelligence missions.
• CACI was awarded a $54.6 million contract to support U.S. Army Futures Command (AFC) to provide mission expertise to the Assured Positioning, Navigation, Timing, and Space (APNT/Space) Cross Functional Team (CFT) for the U.S. Army Futures Command (AFC) at the Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama. CACI will provide expertise to identify cost-effective opportunities to assist APNT/Space CFT in fulfilling its mission of identifying and performing transformational research and development to further Army modernization priorities and national security needs. This new work also represents strategic growth in the expanding Huntsville region.

Total backlog as of September 30, 2022 was $24.9 billion compared with $23.9 billion a year ago, an increase of 4 percent. Funded backlog as of September 30, 2022 was $3.7 billion compared with $3.5 billion a year ago, an increase of 6 percent.

Additional Highlights

• CACI announced that Executive Vice President (EVP) Tom Mutryn will retire as the company's Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Treasurer after more than 16 years of service. Effective November 1, 2022, Jeff MacLauchlan will assume the role of EVP, CFO, and Treasurer of CACI as a named executive officer. Mutryn will continue in his role as an EVP to assist with the transition until his retirement date on January 9, 2023.
• CACI was selected by the Department of Defense to receive a prestigious Nunn-Perry Award for excellence in the DoD Mentor Protégé Program. This honor recognized CACI's collaboration with its small business partner, CDIT, a small, disadvantaged business located in Louisiana that provides full-scale information technology and management services with a focus on software development competency.
• CACI has partnered with the Alabama School of Cyber Engineering and Technology (ASCTE) Foundation in support of a residential magnet high school in Huntsville dedicated to enabling and advancing education in cyber technology and engineering to students across the state. Working with the ASCTE Foundation, CACI furthers its commitment to developing a robust talent pipeline of skilled scientists and engineers by preparing the nation's next generation of innovators for careers in national security. CACI will provide internship and mentorship opportunities, curriculum development, guest instructors, and career coaching to all students.

Reaffirming Fiscal Year 2023 Guidance

The table below summarizes our fiscal year 2023 guidance and represents our views as of October 26, 2022.

(in millions, except earnings per share)
	Fiscal Year 2023 Guidance
Revenues	$6,475 - $6,675
Adjusted net income, a non-GAAP measure1	$420 - $440
Adjusted diluted earnings per share, a non-GAAP measure1	$17.65 - $18.49
Diluted weighted average shares	23.8
Free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure2	at least $415

(1)

Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share are defined as GAAP net income and GAAP diluted EPS, respectively, excluding intangible amortization expense and the related tax impact. This non-GAAP measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. For additional information regarding this non-GAAP measure, see the related explanation and reconciliation to the GAAP measure included below in this release.

(2)

Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities excluding MARPA, less payments for capital expenditures (capex). This non-GAAP measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Fiscal year 2023 free cash flow guidance assumes Section 174 of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 will be deferred, modified or repealed. CACI currently estimates that, if not deferred, modified or repealed, fiscal year 2023 Free cash flow would be reduced by approximately $95 million. For additional information regarding this non-GAAP measure, see the related explanation and reconciliation to the GAAP measure included below in this release.

Reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted Net Income and Diluted EPS to Adjusted Diluted EPS (Unaudited)

Adjusted net income and Adjusted diluted EPS are non-GAAP performance measures. We define Adjusted net income and Adjusted diluted EPS as GAAP net income and GAAP diluted EPS, respectively, excluding intangible amortization expense and the related tax impact as we do not consider intangible amortization expense to be indicative of our core operating performance. We believe that these performance measures provide management and investors with useful information in assessing trends in our ongoing operating performance, provide greater visibility in understanding the long-term financial performance of the Company, and allow investors to more easily compare our results to results of our peers. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

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.

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

The Company defines Net cash provided by operating activities excluding MARPA, a non-GAAP measure, as net cash provided by operating activities calculated in accordance with GAAP, adjusted to exclude cash flows from CACI’s Master Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement (MARPA) for the sale of certain designated eligible U.S. government receivables up to a maximum amount of $200.0 million. Free cash flow is a non-GAAP liquidity measure and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. The Company defines Free cash flow as Net cash provided by operating activities excluding MARPA, less payments for capital expenditures. The Company uses these non-GAAP measures to assess our ability to generate cash from our business operations and plan for future operating and capital actions. We believe these measures allow investors to more easily compare current period results to prior period results and to results of our peers. Free cash flow does not represent residual cash flows available for discretionary purposes and should not be used as a substitute for cash flow measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
