CACI International (CACI) Guides FY17 Below Expectations; Reaffirms FY16 Outlook
CACI International Inc (NYSE: CACI) issued its guidance for its Fiscal Year 2017 (FY17) which begins July 1, 2016, and reiterated its Fiscal Year 2016 (FY16) guidance.
Commentary
Ken Asbury, CACI’s President and CEO said, “Our FY17 guidance shows growth as a result of the successful integration and performance of National Security Solutions (NSS) and strong operating cash flow. We are entering the new fiscal year with a large backlog of business, a healthy pipeline of enduring opportunities, and the capabilities and enhanced position to pursue larger, more complex business where customers are seeking solutions rather than commoditized services.
“As we start FY17, we are confident in our market-focused strategy of winning business, delivering operational excellence, and deploying our capital for growth. We remain focused on providing innovative solutions and services that advance our customers’ most critical missions and produce long-term shareholder value.”
