Maximus Reports Fiscal Year 2023 First Quarter Results
Raises FY23 Revenue and Earnings Guidance Following Scheduled Restart of Medicaid Redeterminations
(Tysons, Va. - February 8, 2023) - Maximus (NYSE: MMS), a leading provider of government services worldwide, reported financial results for the three months ended December 31, 2022.
Highlights for the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 include:
•Revenue increased 8.5% to $1.25 billion, compared to $1.15 billion for the prior year period. Organic growth was 10.3% and driven by new or expanded programs in all three segments.
•Diluted earnings per share were $0.65, and adjusted diluted earnings per share were $0.94.
•The company is raising revenue and earnings guidance for fiscal year 2023 following the restart of Medicaid redeterminations scheduled to begin in the third quarter. Fiscal year 2023 revenue is now expected to range between $4.85 billion and $5.0 billion with adjusted diluted earnings per share between $4.00 and $4.30 per share.
•A quarterly cash dividend of $0.28 per share is payable on February 28, 2023, to shareholders of record on February 15, 2023.
"We are pleased with our solid first quarter results which reflect good execution, and we expect continued momentum in fiscal 2023," said Bruce Caswell, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our increased guidance for fiscal 2023 is significant as it represents a clearing of the last remaining pandemic-related headwind in our U.S. Services business. Restarting Medicaid redeterminations is an unprecedented undertaking and as a long-term public partner to government, we are poised to support our current customers and see solid demand for our capabilities across the broader Medicaid market."

Caswell continued, "We are capitalizing on the organic growth potential of the core business and executing well on our recently refreshed strategy, including making definitive headway in the key areas of clinical services and technology modernization. The remainder of fiscal year 2023, underpinned by our stable business model, should see us continue to successfully capture the upside potential of in-demand government services."
First Quarter Results
Revenue for the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 increased 8.5% to $1.25 billion, compared to $1.15 billion for the prior year period, which was net of a 1.9% currency headwind. Organic growth was 10.3% from new or expanded programs in all three segments resulting from strong demand for the company's services.
For the first quarter of fiscal year 2023, operating margin was 6.0% and the adjusted operating margin was 7.9%. This compares to margins of 7.1% and 9.0%, respectively, for the prior year period. Diluted earnings per share were $0.65 and adjusted diluted earnings per share were $0.94. This compares to $0.85 and $1.12, respectively, for the prior-year period which contained profitable short-term COVID response work in the domestic segments and had less interest expense due to a more favorable rate environment.
U.S. Federal Services Segment
U.S. Federal Services Segment revenue for the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 increased 6.2% to $618.2 million, compared to $581.9 million reported for the prior year period. All growth was organic and driven primarily by volume growth in the segment's clinical services business and an anticipated higher run rate on a large cost-plus contract.
The segment operating margin for the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 was 8.3%, compared to 10.6% reported for the prior year, and in-line with company expectations. The full-year fiscal 2023 margin for the U.S. Federal Services Segment is still expected to range between 10% and 11%.

U.S. Services Segment
U.S. Services Segment revenue for the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 increased 13.7% to $439.5 million, compared to $386.4 million reported in the prior year period. All growth was organic and driven by previously disclosed new work in the core business areas of eligibility support and clinical services.
The segment operating margin for the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 was 8.6%, compared to 14.1% reported for the prior year period, reflecting the headwind to the segment's profitability from the paused Medicaid redeterminations. The full-year fiscal 2023 margin for the U.S. Services Segment is expected to range between 9% and 11% with a lift to profitability expected later in the fiscal year due to the scheduled restart of redeterminations.
Outside the U.S. Segment
Outside the U.S. Segment revenue for the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 increased 4.9% to $191.6 million, compared to $182.6 million reported in the prior year period, which was net of a 12% currency headwind. Organic growth in the segment was approximately 16% driven primarily by the U.K. Restart Programme reaching full capacity.
The segment operating income for the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 was $10.1 million, or 5.3% on a margin basis. This compares to an operating loss of $9.5 million in the prior year period due primarily to contracts with planned start-up losses, such as the U.K. Restart Programme. The full-year fiscal 2023 margin for Outside the U.S. Segment is still expected near the lower end of a 3% to 7% range.
Sales and Pipeline
Year-to-date signed contract awards at December 31, 2022, totaled $481 million and contracts pending (awarded but unsigned) totaled $661 million. The book-to-bill ratio at December 31, 2022, was 2.2x calculated on trailing twelve month basis.
The sales pipeline at December 31, 2022, totaled $30.5 billion, comprised of approximately $6.0 billion in proposals pending, $1.71 billion in proposals in preparation, and $22.8 billion in opportunities tracking. New work opportunities represent 74.5% of the total sales pipeline.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flows
At December 31, 2022, cash and cash equivalents totaled $63.1 million, and gross debt was $1.57 billion. The ratio of debt, net of allowed cash, to adjusted EBITDA for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, as calculated in accordance with our credit agreement, was 3.0x. This compares to 2.6x at September 30, 2022.
For the first quarter of fiscal year 2023, cash used in operating activities totaled $134.7 million and free cash flow was an outflow of $150.4 million. Collections for the month of December were lower than expected, contributing to weaker cash flows and a high debt ratio at quarter end. DSO increased to 74 days as of December 31, 2022, reflecting what is expected to be a temporary increase to the target range of 60 to 70 days.
In the month of January, improved collections enabled the company to repay approximately $75 million of debt. The company continues to prioritize debt reduction using its free cash flow.
On January 6, 2023, 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 February 28, 2023, to shareholders of record on February 15, 2023.
Raising FY23 Guidance
Maximus is raising fiscal year 2023 revenue and earnings guidance following passage of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 (omnibus spending bill), which directs states to resume Medicaid redeterminations on a prescribed timeline. The company now expects revenue to range between $4.85 billion and $5.0 billion, compared to prior revenue guidance of between $4.75 billion and $4.90 billion.

maximus_logox2022a.jpg
Adjusted operating income is expected to range between $415 million and $440 million, compared to a previous range between $390 million and $415 million. Adjusted operating income excludes an estimated $94 million of expense for amortization of intangible assets. Adjusted diluted earnings per share is now expected to range between $4.00 and $4.30 per share, compared to prior adjusted diluted earnings guidance of between $3.70 and $4.00 per share.
The company's guidance assumes that redetermination activities in the U.S. Services Segment phase in during the third quarter and make a full period contribution in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023.
Free cash flow is still expected to range between $225 million and $275 million for fiscal year 2023 and reflects expected working capital increases as a result of higher revenue later in the fiscal year. The company forecasts a slight reduction to interest expense, now ranging between $85 million and $90 million, an effective income tax rate between 24.5% and 25.5%, and weighted average shares outstanding between 61.2 million and 61.3 million shares for fiscal year 2023.
