Episode Details

Few companies have closed as many acquisitions as CACI International.

CACI has three acquisitions on our 2024 M&A Roundup: Azure Technologies, Applied Insight and Quandrint. Those moves brought to CACI a suite of offerings in cloud migration, radio frequency and electronic warfare, and digital application modernization.

In this episode, CACI's chief financial officer Jeff MacLauchlan explains how the company’s strategy focuses on gaps. These gaps can include capabilities, customer footprint, technology, past performance, or some combination of the above.

“We don’t buy scale or to bulk up,” he told WT Editor Nick Wakeman.

CACI views acquisitions as a critical part of its philosophy to invest ahead of customer needs. That also includes partnering, internal research and holding demonstrations.

The change in administration has brought some uncertainty to the market and caused a slowdown in deals, but he adds that “opportunities will come."
