Exhibit 99.1
CACI to Sell Its COMNET Products Group to Compuware Corporation for $40 Million Cash
Company Focuses on Its Value-added Services Businesses
Arlington, Va., November 3, 1999 -- CACI International Inc (NASDAQ: CACI) announced today it has signed a letter of intent to sell its COMNET products group to Compuware Corporation (NASDAQ: CPWR), subject to completion of due diligence and any required regulatory approvals. The total value of the transaction is approximately $40 million cash, and is expected to close by December 31, 1999. The COMNET products group was a part of CACI's Simulation Systems Group.
The sale of CACI's COMNET products group, which produced revenue of approximately $7.0 million in FY99, includes the transfer of its highly qualified employees. The letter of intent provides CACI an ongoing arrangement regarding the use of COMNET products in its services businesses.
After expenses and taxes, the transaction is expected to generate a significant one-time gain of approximately $20 million or $1.74 per share. The proceeds will reduce CACI's debt by approximately $20 million and provide interest and infrastructure cost savings that will be accretive to earnings by $.06 to $.08 per share on an annual basis.
Dr. J.P. (Jack) London, Chairman, President, and CEO of CACI commented, "Our decision to sell the COMNET products group is a result of the company's and board's ongoing market selection and strategic planning efforts, which analyze opportunities to enhance future performance and shareholder value. While we recognized we had a really valuable property with a terrific team of people, we have decided to concentrate our resources on lines of business that we can leverage at higher growth rates and better profit margins." London also noted, that "continuing in this particular product niche would have required major investments in both distribution channels and product development. Our current and planned capital investments are being made in our value-added services businesses, which include e-commerce, network, and telecommunications. These are big market sectors with huge future potentials. They will bring us much better returns over the longer term."
Dr. London continued, "While we are divesting this small but valuable piece of our business, we are nonetheless totally committed to our corporate strategy of accelerating our growth by moving forward on our highly successful strategic and accretive mergers and acquisitions program."
