Maximus Reports Fiscal Year 2023 Second Quarter Results
Company reaffirms guidance in strengthened financial position following significant debt reduction
(Tysons, Va. - May 3, 2023) - Maximus (NYSE: MMS), a leading provider of government services worldwide, reported financial results for the three and six months ended March 31, 2023.
Highlights for the second quarter of fiscal year 2023 include:
Revenue increased 2.5% to $1.21 billion, compared to $1.18 billion for the prior year period. Organic growth was 3.9% and driven by new or expanded programs in the U.S. segments.
Diluted earnings per share were $0.52, and adjusted diluted earnings per share were $0.80.
Record cash flows with cash provided by operating activities totaling $309.7 million and free cash flow of $291.6 million, enabling $275 million of debt reduction.
The company is maintaining revenue and earnings guidance for fiscal year 2023, with revenue expected to range between $4.85 billion and $5.0 billion and 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 May 31, 2023, to shareholders of record on May 15, 2023.
"Our second quarter results demonstrated solid execution, and we are entering the second half of fiscal year 2023 with excellent visibility into the key drivers to achieve our full-year financial targets," said Bruce Caswell, President and Chief Executive Officer. "In the quarter, we de-levered our debt position by a full half-turn which was driven by record cash flows. We continue to focus on optimizing our portfolio with the divestiture of two small businesses in the Outside the U.S. segment, which were not core to our strategy and did not meet our financial objectives."

Caswell continued, "Last quarter, we noted good line of sight to key operating assumptions, most notably around Medicaid redeterminations and volume growth in our Federal clinical services business driven by PACT Act legislation. I'm pleased that our outlook has proven durable as we are reaffirming fiscal year 2023 guidance and remain confident in our capability to execute in a superior manner in support of our customers’ essential programs."
Second Quarter Results
Revenue for the second quarter of fiscal year 2023 increased 2.5% to $1.21 billion, compared to $1.18 billion for the prior year period. Organic growth was 3.9% driven by new or expanded programs in the U.S. segments.
For the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, operating margin was 5.2% and the adjusted operating margin was 7.1%. This compares to margins of 6.4% and 8.3%, respectively, for the prior year period. Diluted earnings per share were $0.52 and adjusted diluted earnings per share were $0.80. This compares to $0.80 and $1.07, respectively, for the prior-year period.
An operating loss in the Outside the U.S. segment and lower-than-expected U.S. Federal Services segment profitability tempered second quarter fiscal year 2023 results. Two small businesses in the Outside the U.S. segment, which contributed to the operating loss, were divested in the quarter resulting in an approximately one-cent reduction to diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of fiscal year 2023.
Additionally, the prior year period contained profitable short-term COVID response work in the U.S. 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 second quarter of fiscal year 2023 increased 1.9% to $584.1 million, compared to $573.3 million reported for the prior year period. All growth was organic and driven primarily by volume

maximus_logox2022xmed002a.jpg
growth on the Veterans Affairs Medical Disability Exams (MDE) contracts, which comprise the Veterans Evaluations Services (VES) business.
The segment operating margin for the second quarter of fiscal year 2023 was 8.2%, compared to 8.1% reported for the prior year, and slightly lower than company expectations. While MDE contract volumes increased across the quarter, total volumes were slightly lower than forecasted, and higher costs were incurred for training of VES staff to yield full productivity. Strong line of sight remains on the volume forecast, and 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 second quarter of fiscal year 2023 increased 13.0% to $449.7 million, compared to $398.1 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 second quarter of fiscal year 2023 was 9.5%, compared to 11.7% reported for the prior year period that contained profitable, short-term work. The segment's profitability remained impacted by the paused Medicaid redeterminations, which are scheduled to restart in the third quarter. The full-year fiscal 2023 margin for the U.S. Services Segment is still expected to range between 9% and 11% with a lift to profitability expected in the fourth quarter reflecting an expected full-period contribution from redeterminations.
Outside the U.S. Segment
Outside the U.S. Segment revenue for the second quarter of fiscal year 2023 decreased 16.0% to $173.1 million, compared to $206.0 million reported in the prior year period. Organic revenue contracted 8% due primarily to lower revenue in Australia following last year's rebid outcome and currency was a 7% headwind.
The segment realized an operating loss of $3.7 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, compared to an operating profit of $4.3 million in the prior year period. The company is focused on portions of the segment that are underperforming. Two small businesses, a commercial division within the United Kingdom and the employment services business in Sweden, were divested, which had combined operating losses in the quarter of $1.5 million.
Sales and Pipeline
Year-to-date signed contract awards at March 31, 2023, totaled $1.22 billion and contracts pending (awarded but unsigned) totaled $1.27 billion. The book-to-bill ratio at March 31, 2023, was 2.1x calculated on a trailing twelve-month basis.
The sales pipeline at March 31, 2023, totaled $31.9 billion, comprised of approximately $5.6 billion in proposals pending, $0.94 billion in proposals in preparation, and $25.3 billion in opportunities tracking. New work opportunities represent approximately 78% of the total sales pipeline.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flows
At March 31, 2023, cash and cash equivalents totaled $56.3 million, and gross debt was $1.30 billion. The ratio of debt, net of allowed cash, to EBITDA for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, as calculated in accordance with the company's credit agreement, was 2.5x assisted by $275 million of debt reduction in the quarter. This compares to 3.0x at December 31, 2022.
For the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, cash provided by operating activities totaled $309.7 million and free cash flow was $291.6 million. The record quarterly cash flows made up for the temporarily low cash flows in the first quarter of fiscal year 2023. DSO was 56 days as of March 31, 2023. Going forward, the company expects to be in the target range of 60 to 70 days.
On April 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 May 31, 2023, to shareholders of record on May 15, 2023.

Reaffirming FY23 Guidance
Maximus is reaffirming fiscal year 2023 guidance from the prior quarter. Revenue is expected to range between $4.85 billion and $5.0 billion, and adjusted operating income is expected to range between $415 million and $440 million, which excludes an estimated $94 million of expense for amortization of intangible assets. Adjusted diluted earnings per share is expected to range between $4.00 and $4.30 per share and free cash flow is expected to range between $225 million and $275 million.
The company's guidance still assumes that redetermination activities in the U.S. Services Segment phase in during the third quarter, making a full period contribution in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023, and volumes continue to ramp on the MDE contracts in the VES business related to the PACT Act in U.S. Federal Services.
The company forecasts a slight reduction to interest expense, now ranging between $82 million and $85 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.
