MAXIMUS Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year Results for Fiscal 2015

- MAXIMUS Maintains Revenue Guidance and Lowers Earnings Guidance for Fiscal 2016 -

RESTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- MAXIMUS (NYSE: MMS), a leading provider of government services worldwide, today reported financial results for the three months and year ended September 30, 2015.

Highlights for the fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2015 include:

  • Fourth quarter revenue growth of 33% to $578.7 million and GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.53
  • Fiscal year 2015 revenue growth of 23% to $2.1 billion, GAAP diluted earnings per share of $2.35 and adjusted diluted earnings per share of $2.39
  • Cash and cash equivalents that totaled $74.7 million at September 30, 2015
  • Record signed year-to-date contract awards of $3.4 billion, new contracts pending of $149.4 million, and a sales pipeline of $3.2 billion at September 30, 2015

As previously disclosed in an 8-K filing on November 6, 2015, the Company is now reporting information for three segments. All historical segment data in this press release have been reclassified for comparison purposes.

For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, revenue increased 33% (38% on a constant currency basis) to $578.7 million, compared to $435.4 million reported for the same period last year. The increase in revenue was driven by organic growth and the acquisitions of Acentia and Remploy. This was offset by a 5% decline related to unfavorable foreign currency translation. For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, net income attributable to MAXIMUS totaled $35.4 million, or $0.53 per diluted share. This compares to diluted earnings per share of $0.53 for the fourth quarter of 2014.

Revenue for fiscal year 2015 increased 23% (27% on a constant currency basis) to $2.1 billion, compared to $1.7 billion reported for fiscal 2014. The increase in revenue was driven by organic growth primarily in the Health Services Segment and the U.S. Federal Services Segment, as well as revenue from the acquisitions of Acentia and Remploy. This was offset by a 4% decline from unfavorable foreign currency translation. For fiscal year 2015, net income attributable to MAXIMUS totaled $157.8 million, or $2.35 earnings per diluted share, which included approximately $0.04 per diluted share of acquisition-related expenses. Excluding the acquisition-related expenses, adjusted diluted earnings per share for fiscal year 2015 were $2.39. This compares to GAAP diluted earnings per share of $2.11 for fiscal year 2014.

Health Services Segment

Health Segment revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 increased 29% (32% on a constant currency basis) to $296.2 million, compared to $230.5 million reported for the same period last year. Operating income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 totaled $30.5 million (10.3% operating margin), compared to $31.2 million (13.5% operating margin) for the same period last year.

For the full fiscal year, Health Segment revenue increased 22% (25% on a constant currency basis) to $1.1 billion, compared to $906.7 million for the same period last year. All growth was organic. Fiscal 2015 operating income totaled $154.3 million (13.9% operating margin), compared to operating income of $115.6 million (12.7% operating margin) for fiscal 2014.

The increases in revenue for the fourth quarter and the full fiscal year 2015 were driven by new work and the expansion of existing contracts. Operating margins for the fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2015 were tempered by new programs in start-up, most notably the U.K. Health Assessment Advisory Service contract, which is not performing to the Company’s previous expectations.

U.S. Federal Services Segment

U.S. Federal Segment revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 increased 70% to $154.3 million, compared to $90.6 million reported for the same period last year. Operating income for the fourth quarter totaled $20.9 million (13.5% operating margin), compared to $12.2 million (13.5% operating margin) for the same period last year.

For the full fiscal year, U.S. Federal Segment revenue increased 47% to $502.5 million, compared to $341.8 million for the same period last year. For fiscal 2015 operating income totaled $59.4 million (11.8% operating margin), compared to operating income of $63.1 million (18.5% operating margin) for fiscal 2014.

Revenue growth for the fourth quarter and full year were driven by new organic growth and the Acentia acquisition. Operating margins were unfavorably impacted by the expected decline in Medicare appeals volumes, which were highly accretive. Offsetting this, the Department of Education debt management contract steadily improved throughout the year and remains on track to achieve breakeven in fiscal 2016. As a result, this helped the year-over-year comparisons in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015.

Human Services Segment

Human Services Segment revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 increased 12% (23% on a constant currency basis) to $128.2 million, compared to $114.4 million for the same period last year. Operating income for the fourth quarter totaled $13.4 million (10.4% operating margin), compared to $9.9 million (8.7% operating margin) for the same period last year.

For the full fiscal year, Human Services Segment revenue increased 8% (16% on a constant currency basis) to $488.1 million, compared to $452.4 million for the same period last year. For fiscal 2015, Human Services Segment operating income totaled $60.2 million (12.3% operating margin), compared to operating income of $53.2 million (11.7% operating margin) for fiscal 2014.

The increase in revenue for the fourth quarter and the full fiscal year was driven by organic growth and revenue from the Remploy acquisition, but was offset by unfavorable foreign currency translation. Operating margins for the quarter and the full year benefitted from strong delivery across North America, the United Kingdom and Saudi Arabia, which was offset by the expected start-up losses on the Australian jobactive contract that launched on July 1, 2015.

Backlog, Sales and Pipeline

Backlog was $4.6 billion at September 30, 2015. Year-to-date signed contract awards at September 30, 2015 totaled $3.4 billion. New contracts pending (awarded but unsigned) totaled $149.4 million.

The sales pipeline at September 30, 2015 was $3.2 billion (consisting of approximately $771 million in proposals pending, $38 million in proposals in preparation, and $2.4 billion in opportunities tracking). Included in the $3.2 billion sales pipeline is the anticipated rebid for the U.K. Work Programme. This rebid is not expected to be awarded until fiscal year 2017, but the lengthy rebid process is expected to begin in the spring of 2016. The Company’s reported pipeline only reflects those opportunities where MAXIMUS expects that the request for proposal will be released within the next six months. This compares to a pipeline of $3.5 billion for the same period last year, which included $1.2 billion in rebids.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flows

Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2015 totaled $74.7 million. For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, cash provided by operating activities totaled $25.2 million, with negative free cash flow of $6.7 million. For the full fiscal year 2015, cash provided by operating activities totaled $206.2 million, with free cash flow of $101.1 million.

At September 30, 2015, Days Sales Outstanding (DSOs) were within the Company’s expected range at 67 days, compared to 64 days for the prior quarter.

On August 31, 2015, MAXIMUS paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.045 per share. On October 8, 2015, the Company announced a $0.045 per share cash dividend, payable on November 30, 2015 to shareholders of record on November 13, 2015.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, MAXIMUS repurchased approximately 865,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for $52.2 million (a weighted average price of $60.20). For the full fiscal year, MAXIMUS repurchased approximately 1.6 million shares for $82.8 million (a weighted average price of $51.11). Subsequent to September 30, 2015, the Company repurchased approximately 103,000 additional shares of stock for $6.1 million (a weighted average price of $59.41). The Company currently has an estimated $162.5 million available for repurchases under its Board-authorized share repurchase program.

Outlook

MAXIMUS is establishing formal fiscal year 2016 guidance. The Company still expects revenue to range between $2.4 billion and $2.5 billion for fiscal 2016. The Company is updating its preliminary fiscal year 2016 GAAP diluted earnings per share guidance and now expects GAAP diluted EPS to range between $2.40 and $2.70. The lowered earnings outlook is attributable to a slower ramp and hence a reduced contribution from the U.K. Health Assessment Advisory Service contract. This guidance does not include any acquisitions or significant legal expenses or recoveries. The Company estimates that approximately 93% of its fiscal 2016 forecasted revenue is in the form of backlog or option periods.

“There were many positive developments for the Company over the past year. We secured new work and expanded existing contracts across all three of our segments. With the acquisitions of Acentia and Remploy, we introduced new growth platforms that strengthen our position for future opportunities in key markets. We also successfully launched operations under the Australian jobactive contract, a key rebid that included an increase in our market share,” commented MAXIMUS CEO Richard A. Montoni.

Montoni continued, “While the slower-than-expected ramp-up of the U.K. Health Assessment Advisory Service contract resulted in a reduced earnings outlook for fiscal year 2016, we remain confident that we will bring about the necessary changes to put this start-up contract on a path to success, as we have done with many large start-up contracts in the past. This is a single contract in our global portfolio and the overall macro demand trends for our services remain very favorable.”

Non-GAAP Measures

This release refers to non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted diluted earnings per share, free cash flow, constant currency and days sales outstanding.

We have provided a reconciliation to adjusted diluted earnings per share. We believe that this measure is a useful basis for assessing the Company’s performance excluding the effect of acquisition expenses.

We have provided a reconciliation of free cash flow to cash provided by operating activities. We believe that free cash flow is a useful basis for investors to compare our performance across periods or against our competitors. Free cash flow shows the effects of the Company’s operations and routine capital expenditure and excludes the cash flow effects of acquisitions, share repurchases, dividend payments and other financing transactions.

To provide constant currency information, we calculate fiscal year 2015 revenue for all international businesses using the exchange rates used in the comparative period in fiscal year 2014. We believe constant currency provides a useful basis for assessing the performance of the business excluding the unpredictable effects of foreign exchange fluctuations.

Days sales outstanding, or DSO, is a measure of how efficiently we manage the billing and collection of our receivable balances. We calculate DSO by dividing billed and unbilled receivable balances at the end of each quarter by revenue per day for the period. Revenue per day for a quarter is determined by dividing total revenue by 91 days.

The presentation of these non-GAAP numbers is not meant to be considered in isolation, nor as alternatives to cash flows from operating activities, revenue growth or net income as measures of performance. These non-GAAP financial measures, as determined and presented by us, may not be comparable to related or similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about the Company’s confidence and strategies and the Company’s expectations about revenues, results of operations, profitability, future contracts, market opportunities, market demand or acceptance of the Company’s products are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These uncertainties could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements and include reliance on government clients; risks associated with government contracting; risks involved in managing government projects; legislative changes and political developments; opposition from government unions; challenges resulting from growth; adverse publicity; and legal, economic, and other risks detailed in Exhibit 99.1 to the Company’s most recent Annual Report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, found on maximus.com.
