CACI International Inc (NYSE: CACI) announced today that it has
entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Azure Summit
Technology in an all cash transaction for $1.275 billion. In
alignment with CACI’s mission to deliver distinctive expertise and
differentiated technology to meet our customers’ greatest national
security challenges, Azure Summit advances Department of Defense
(DoD) mission outcomes with its portfolio of high-performance radio
frequency (RF) technology and engineering talent focused on the
electromagnetic spectrum.
“Azure Summit’s core capabilities and technology bolster CACI’s
market-based strategy by expanding our offerings in intelligence,
surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR), electronic warfare (EW), and
signals intelligence (SIGINT) across multiple domains, platforms
and customer sets,” said John Mengucci, CACI President and Chief
Executive Officer. “In an environment of escalating global threats,
the employees of both CACI and Azure Summit are culturally aligned
and driven to support the most critical, sophisticated missions of
our nation and our allies.”
“For our shareholders, the acquisition of Azure Summit is
compelling both strategically and financially,” said Mengucci. “It
not only enhances our offerings in areas of enduring national
security priorities, but also brings with it an installed base of
fielded, mature technology. And, from a financial standpoint, it
will be immediately accretive across multiple financial
metrics.”
“When combined with more than $400 million in share repurchases
over the last six quarters, this transaction underscores CACI’s
flexible and opportunistic capital deployment approach, which
focuses on driving free cash flow growth and delivering long-term
shareholder value,” said Mengucci.
“I am confident that CACI will offer outstanding career
opportunities to our talented and dedicated employees,” said Azure
Summit President and Chief Executive Officer Thomas Green. “The
alignment between our cultures, technology and engineering heritage
will drive continued innovation and growth under CACI leadership in
the future. More importantly, our mission-focused customers will
share the benefits from the combined business almost
immediately.”
As a result of the $1.275 billion all-cash transaction, CACI
expects to realize a tax benefit over the next 15 years, the
present value of which is $194 million. Net of the present value of
the tax benefit, the effective consideration is $1.08 billion. The
transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and customary
closing conditions and is expected to close in the second quarter
of fiscal year 2025.
A conference call hosted by President and CEO John Mengucci and
Chief Financial Officer Jeff MacLauchlan will be held this morning
at 8:30 a.m. Eastern time to discuss this transaction. Details can
