John Godyn’s Introduction
Citigroup Inc., Research Division
Thank you all for joining us today. We are delighted to welcome the management team from CACI, including Jeff and Jason. I am thrilled to host this session with them.
For those unfamiliar with me, I am John Godyn, serving as the aerospace and defense analyst at Citi. We have a comprehensive agenda of topics lined up for discussion, so let us dive right in without further delay.
Question-and-Answer Session

One of the most frequent inquiries I have received recently revolves around the volatility observed in the defense services sector. Typically, we avoid probing companies about short-term fluctuations in stock prices or sector-wide movements, as such matters do not often arise in these discussions. However, in this particular instance, it is particularly noteworthy because CACI has invested considerable time and resources in distinguishing itself from its competitors.
This differentiation is evident across multiple dimensions, including your robust fundamentals, consistent growth trajectory, impressive margin performance, and recent strategic capital allocation decisions. This seems like an ideal starting point for our conversation. I would like to invite you to elaborate on these aspects and reiterate for our audience the key ways in which CACI stands apart from its peers in the industry.
Jeffrey MacLauchlan’s Response
Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, and Treasurer
Thank you, John. It is a pleasure to be here with you this afternoon. That is a compelling question to begin with. A significant portion of the response lies in the extensive efforts we have made to address and clarify such inquiries over time.
At CACI, we have consistently emphasized our unique positioning within the defense services landscape. Our approach goes beyond traditional service provision; we focus on delivering high-value technology-driven solutions that address critical national security needs. This commitment is reflected in our superior growth rates, which have outpaced industry averages for several consecutive years.
Furthermore, our margin profile demonstrates operational excellence and disciplined cost management. Unlike many peers who grapple with margin compression due to competitive bidding pressures, we have maintained and even expanded our profitability through innovative contracting strategies and a focus on higher-margin programs.
Recent capital allocation activities further underscore our distinct strategy. We have pursued a balanced approach that includes targeted acquisitions to bolster our technological capabilities, share repurchases to enhance shareholder value, and investments in talent to sustain long-term growth. These initiatives are not reactive but part of a deliberate framework designed to create sustained competitive advantages.
The current market volatility, while notable, does not alter our core narrative. We continue to execute on our backlog of funded contracts, which provides revenue visibility well into the future. Our diversified customer base, primarily within U.S. government agencies, mitigates risks associated with any single program or budget cycle.
In essence, CACI’s differentiation stems from our deep domain expertise, agile technology integration, and unwavering focus on mission-critical outcomes. These elements collectively position us for resilient performance amid sector headwinds.
We appreciate the opportunity to revisit these points and reinforce investor confidence in our trajectory. Our team remains committed to transparent communication as we navigate this dynamic environment.
