CACI Issues $500 Million Senior Notes to Fund ARKA Group Acquisition

CACI
February 26, 2026

CACI International Inc. has announced a $500 million issuance of unsecured senior notes due 2033, issued as part of the same series as its 6.375 % senior notes due 2033 that were first issued in June 2025. The notes will be priced and closed in the coming weeks, providing the company with additional liquidity while preserving a favorable debt profile.

The net proceeds from the offering will be used to finance the acquisition of ARKA Group L.P. and related transaction costs. The company will also draw on borrowings under its revolving credit facility and an incremental term loan B facility to support the deal and ongoing operations.

The ARKA Group acquisition, announced on December 22 2025, expands CACI’s technology focus into space‑based sensing and actionable intelligence. The purchase aligns with the company’s strategy to become a national‑security technology leader and to broaden its portfolio beyond traditional defense services.

In its most recent quarterly report, CACI reported revenue growth of 8 % to 10 % and an EBITDA margin of 11.7 % to 11.8 %, beating analyst expectations. Management raised its fiscal‑year 2026 guidance for revenue, EBITDA margin, and free cash flow, citing strong demand in its core government contracts and disciplined cost management.

This new debt issuance follows a $1 billion senior note offering in June 2025 and reflects CACI’s disciplined balance‑sheet management. By issuing notes that are fungible with the existing 6.375 % series, the company maintains flexibility in its capital structure while funding growth initiatives.

CACI’s recent contract wins— a $416 million task order to modernize U.S. Navy systems and a five‑year, up to $212 million order for the U.S. Space Force—provide a solid revenue base that supports the company’s confidence in the financing and its broader growth strategy.
