CACI Reports $4.8 Billion in Q1 FY2027 Defense Awards

CACI International Inc. reported $4.8 billion in contract awards for the first quarter of fiscal year 2027, ended September 30, 2026. The company posted a 2.0x book-to-bill ratio and said funded backlog increased 14.8% year over year to $6.2 billion. The results point to substantial recent demand across defense mission support, special operations, and electronic warfare. For contractors, the awards are most relevant as indicators of work now being executed and possible supply-chain or teaming activity—not as open solicitations to bid on directly.

The largest named efforts include a USCENTCOM mission-support effort with a $1.5 billion ceiling, a $1.6 billion U.S. Army Special Operations Command (USASOC) SOFETOPS 2 task order, and an electronic-warfare task order valued at up to $281 million. CACI recorded $1.2 billion in award and backlog value for the USCENTCOM effort, while its Apollo work covers planning, analysis, information integration, and mission execution. For SOFETOPS 2, CACI booked $1.2 billion during the quarter. The electronic-warfare task order supports next-generation capabilities through Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane (NSWC Crane).

The quarterly financial results provide additional context for CACI’s capacity and delivery outlook. Revenue was $2.4746 billion, up 8.2% from $2.2876 billion in the year-ago quarter, including 2.1% organic growth. Income from operations rose 16.6% to $247.5 million, while net income was $130.4 million. CACI reported EBITDA of $328.8 million and an EBITDA margin of 13.3%; adjusted diluted earnings per share were $7.66, up 11.8%. The company also raised its fiscal 2027 revenue and earnings outlook, citing its results, growing backlog, and pipeline, while reaffirming guidance for other financial metrics.

For the GovCon market, the backlog expansion and award mix can inform partner positioning, but they do not establish that CACI will pursue any particular subcontract or that an opportunity is available. Companies should map their capabilities to the work described—operational planning, analysis, information integration, mission execution, special operations support, and electronic-warfare technology—and monitor relevant agency and prime-contractor channels for implementation requirements. Potential partners should verify contract scope, incumbent and teaming arrangements, security and clearance requirements, and any applicable procurement notices before investing in a pursuit. CACI’s CEO John Mengucci described the quarter as a “strong start to fiscal year 2027,” highlighting mission proximity, a software-defined approach, investment ahead of customer need, and execution as factors supporting performance.
