Maximus Reports Fiscal Year 2022 Second Quarter Results
- Ongoing Delays Represents Headwinds to Current Year While Strong Awards Drive Longer-Term Tailwinds -
(Tysons, Va. - May 4, 2022) - Maximus (NYSE: MMS), a leading provider of government services worldwide, reported financial results for the three and six months ended March 31, 2022.
Highlights for the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 include:
Revenue increased 22.7% to $1.18 billion driven by expected contributions from the U.S. Federal Services Segment acquisitions and growth from startups ramping in the Outside the U.S. Segment.
Operating margin was 6.4%, or 8.3% adjusting for amortization of intangible assets. Diluted earnings per share were $0.80, or $1.07 adjusting for amortization of intangible assets.
The Company is revising earnings guidance for fiscal year 2022, primarily due to the ongoing Public Health Emergency (PHE) and other delays. Revenue guidance remains at $4.5 billion to $4.7 billion, while earnings per share are estimated to range between $3.00 and $3.50 per share, or $4.07 to $4.57 per share adjusting for amortization of intangible assets.
Year-to-date signed contract awards at March 31, 2022, totaled $1.47 billion and contracts pending (awarded but unsigned) totaled $1.75 billion.
A quarterly cash dividend of $0.28 per share payable on May 31, 2022, to shareholders of record on May 13, 2022.
"Results for the second quarter reflected our expectations for the business, which continues to face delays that we firmly believe to be temporary. As evidenced by strong bookings year-to-date, the business continues to be well positioned as these policy and COVID-related delays abate," shared Bruce Caswell, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our new awards, virtually all of which are longer-term in nature, underscore our business model and prove the durability of Maximus and our ability to use strategic M&A to grow market share."
Second Quarter Results
Revenue for the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 increased 22.7% to $1.18 billion, compared to $959.3 million for the prior year period. The $218.0 million increase was principally driven by anticipated contributions from the U.S. Federal Services Segment acquisitions and the U.K. Restart Programme in the Outside the U.S. Segment. These increases were offset by expected declines in short-term COVID-19 response work. Organic revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2022 remained relatively flat while adjusting for COVID-19 response work, normalized organic growth would be approximately 20% over the prior year period.
Earnings results in the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 reflected expectations for lower earnings caused primarily by delays in our core programs returning to pre-pandemic levels as the COVID-19 response work continues its predicted decline. Operating income totaled $75.3 million yielding an operating margin of 6.4%, or 8.3% adjusting for amortization of intangible assets. This compares to an operating margin of 11.8% for the prior year period, or 12.3% adjusting for amortization. Diluted earnings per share were $0.80, or $1.07 adjusting for amortization as compared to $1.29 per share, or $1.35 adjusting for amortization, for the prior year period.

U.S. Services Segment
The U.S. Services Segment reported revenue of $398.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 compared to $448.2 million reported in the prior year period. The revenue decline was due to the expected reduction in short-term COVID-19 response work. Adjusting for this work, normalized organic growth in the segment would be approximately 25% driven by ramping of new work, including COVID-19 response work that has evolved into longer-term work with new customers gained during the pandemic.
Operating margin for the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 was 11.7% for the segment compared to 18.5% reported for the prior year period. Expected declines in profitable, short term COVID-19 response work while the redetermination activities tied to the PHE remain paused were responsible for the lower comparative margin.
U.S. Federal Services Segment
U.S. Federal Services Segment revenue for the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 increased 74% to $573.3 million, compared to $330.1 million reported for the prior year. Growth was driven by expected contributions from the acquisitions of Attain Federal, VES, and Aidvantage. Organic revenue in the segment for the second quarter of fiscal 2022 increased approximately 9%. Adjusting for COVID-19 response work, normalized organic growth in the segment would be approximately 13% over the prior year period.
The segment's operating margin for the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 was 8.1% as compared to 7.0% reported for the prior year period. Contributions from the Attain Federal and VES acquisitions improved margins in the segment but were tempered by impacts from the Aidvantage business. Costs tied to the transition from the prior provider were higher than anticipated and the continued delay in return to repayment resulted in reduced revenue and lower profitability in the quarter.
Outside the U.S. Segment
Outside the U.S. Segment revenue for the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 increased 13.8% to $206.0 million as compared to $180.9 million reported for the prior year. The primary driver of growth was ramping of the U.K. Restart Programme.
The segment's operating margin for the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 was 2.1%. The margin for the prior year period of 8.3% benefited from above average performance in Australia. Results for this quarter benefited from stronger than anticipated performance on the U.K. Restart Programme which achieved profitability ahead of schedule. This is tempered by future volume reductions on the largest employment services contract in Australia following a rebid process.
Sales and Pipeline
Year-to-date signed contract awards at March 31, 2022, totaled $1.47 billion and contracts pending (awarded but unsigned) totaled $1.75 billion. The awards are comprised of longer periods of performance that reflect solid, long-term drivers in the business.
The sales pipeline at March 31, 2022, was $29.8 billion (comprised of approximately $7.4 billion in proposals pending, $3.6 billion in proposals in preparation, and $18.8 billion in opportunities tracking). New work opportunities represent approximately 55% of the total sales pipeline.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flows
At March 31, 2022, cash and cash equivalents totaled $92.6 million and gross debt was $1.46 billion. The ratio of debt, net of allowed cash, to pro-forma EBITDA for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, as calculated in accordance with our credit agreement, was 2.4x.
For the second quarter of fiscal year 2022, cash flows were strong as anticipated. Cash from operating activities totaled $114.8 million, and free cash flow was $98.2 million.
As of March 31, 2022, Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) were 68 days and within the Company's typical range of 65 to 80 days.

Purchases of Maximus common stock totaled $24.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2022.
On April 8, 2022, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.28 for each share of our common stock outstanding. The dividend is payable on May 31, 2022, to shareholders of record on May 13, 2022.
Revised Earnings Guidance
The Company is maintaining revenue guidance for fiscal year 2022 with revenue expected to range between $4.5 billion and $4.7 billion. Earnings guidance is revised following further extensions of the ongoing PHE and other delays. Diluted earnings per share (DEPS) is expected to range between $3.00 and $3.50 per share, or between $4.07 and $4.57 per share adjusting for amortization of intangible assets.
The reduction to earnings guidance is comprised of three primary components. First, the PHE has been extended through mid-July, which is approximately $0.30 DEPS of estimated impact for the one-quarter delay. The Company has further lowered the bottom end of earnings guidance to allow for an additional PHE extension through mid-October, representing an additional $0.30 DEPS of estimated impact. Second, further delays on ramping of new work in the U.S. Services and Outside the U.S. segments reduced guidance by an estimated $0.20 DEPS. These delays are believed to be temporary and are partly attributable to ongoing COVID-19 disruptions. Third, the revised expectations for the Australia employment services rebid result in an estimated DEPS reduction of approximately $0.15; the impact is outsized in fiscal year 2022 compared to subsequent periods and includes severance charges in the third quarter.
For fiscal year 2022, cash flows from operations are expected to range between $225 million and $300 million, and free cash flow to range between $175 million and $250 million in fiscal year 2022. The effective income tax rate is expected to range between 24.5% and 25.5%, weighted average shares outstanding to range between 62.0 million and 62.2 million, absent significant share purchase activity, and interest expense to range between $40 million and $42 million for fiscal year 2022.
"While pandemic-related delays continue to constrain our fiscal 2022 earnings, I am encouraged by the potential of our business next fiscal year and beyond once the uncertainties of the pandemic are behind us. In the meantime, we continue to build momentum for the business," Caswell continued. "We believe the long-term macroeconomic drivers favor our business as we continue to be a valuable partner to government with growing capabilities. I look forward to sharing more, including our refreshed 3-to-5-year strategy for Maximus, on our Investor Day on May 24, 2022."
