MAXIMUS Reports Fiscal 2010 Third Quarter Results
-Record Revenue of $210.7 million and Record Diluted EPS of $0.91 from Continuing Operations-
RESTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- MAXIMUS, Inc. (NYSE:MMS), a leading provider of government services worldwide, today reported results for the three months ended June 30, 2010.
Highlights for the third quarter include:
-- Revenue growth of 19.4% to a record of $210.7 million, compared to the
third quarter of last year,
-- Record third quarter earnings from continuing operations of $0.91 per
diluted share, a 25% increase compared to adjusted earnings from
continuing operations of $0.73 per diluted share last year,
-- Cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations of
$49.6 million, with free cash flow of $43.2 million, resulting in cash
and cash equivalents totaling $153.1 million at quarter end, and
-- Year-to-date new sales awards totaling $379 million through July 30,
2010; new contracts pending of $916 million and a robust sales pipeline
totaling $1.8 billion at July 30, 2010.
Revenue for the third quarter increased 19.4% over the same period last year (or 15.9% on a constant currency basis) to $210.7 million, driven primarily by the Company's international employment services operations in Australia and the United Kingdom. Revenue was slightly lower than expected as a result of lower volumes on certain performance-based projects where the Company effectively managed costs to achieve margin and earnings. For the fiscal 2010 third quarter, organic revenue grew 16.0% (or 12.5% on a constant currency basis) compared to the same period last year.
Net income from continuing operations for the third quarter increased to $16.4 million. Earnings from continuing operations in the fiscal 2010 third quarter increased 25% to $0.91 per diluted share compared to adjusted earnings from continuing operations of $0.73 per diluted share last year, which excluded $0.16 of legal and settlement recovery.
"Our record results for the third quarter reflect the increasing positive contribution from our international operations," commented Richard A. Montoni, President and Chief Executive Officer of MAXIMUS. "Our emphasis on results-driven performance resonates with government clients around the world who seek to maximize results in a budget-constrained environment. As our bottom-line results indicate, we have maintained strong fiscal discipline by managing resources on volume-sensitive contracts and ramped new business effectively while strategically growing our base of operations."
Operations Segment
For the fiscal 2010 third quarter, Operations Segment revenue increased 18.7% (or 14.9% on a constant currency basis) to $196.5 million compared to $165.5 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2009. Operations Segment operating income for the third quarter grew 30.5% to $25.0 million compared to $19.1 million in the third quarter of last year. Operating margin for the quarter was 12.7%. Year-over-year revenue and profit expansion in the Segment were driven by strong growth in the Company's international employment services operations in Australia and the United Kingdom.
Consulting Segment
For the fiscal 2010 third quarter, Consulting Segment revenue was $14.2 million compared to $10.9 million for the same period last year. Consulting Segment operating income for the fiscal 2010 third quarter was $604,000, with an operating margin of 4.3%.
New Sales and Sales Pipeline
At July 30, 2010, year-to-date signed contract awards totaled $379 million and new contracts pending (awarded, but unsigned) totaled $916 million, which includes approximately $750 million related to three large contracts where the Company has been notified of award and is in final contract negotiations.
Sales opportunities (pipeline) at July 30, 2010 totaled $1.8 billion (consisting of $241 million in proposals pending, $113 million in proposals in preparation, and $1,442 million in proposals tracking) compared to $928 million the prior year.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flows
At June 30, 2010, the Company reported cash and cash equivalents of $153.1 million. Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) from continuing operations improved to 62 days, on a sequential basis, driven by increased collections in the third quarter.
The Company continues to generate strong cash flows driven by solid net income. As a result, cash provided by operating activities totaled $49.6 million with free cash flow of $43.2 million for the third quarter of 2010. The Company defines free cash flow as cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations less property, equipment, and capitalized software expenditures.
MAXIMUS remains committed to returning excess cash to shareholders. During the fiscal 2010 third quarter, the Company purchased 135,936 shares of MAXIMUS common stock for $8.0 million under the Board-authorized share repurchase program. At June 30, 2010, the Company had $38.1 million available under the program. MAXIMUS also paid a cash dividend of $0.12 per share on May 28, 2010 to shareholders of record as of May 14, 2010. Subsequent to quarter end, the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.12 per share payable on August 31, 2010 to shareholders of record as of August 16, 2010.
Outlook
The Company is slightly revising its revenue guidance and now expects revenue from continuing operations in the range of $828 million to $838 million due to lower volumes on certain performance-based projects where the Company has continued to manage costs effectively and achieve its earnings objectives. In addition, MAXIMUS is narrowing the range on its previous earnings guidance. The Company now expects adjusted earnings per diluted share from continuing operations to be in the range of $3.55 to $3.60, which is at the top end of its prior guidance range of $3.50 to $3.60.
