MAXIMUS Reports Financial Results for First Quarter of Fiscal 2013
 
- Company Raises Fiscal 2013 Revenue and Earnings Guidance -
 
RESTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--February 7, 2013--MAXIMUS (NYSE: MMS), a leading provider of government services worldwide, today reported financial results for its first quarter ended December 31, 2012.
 
Key highlights include:
 
 
·
Revenue grew 19% to $286.3 million for the first quarter compared to $239.6 million reported for the same period last year, driven by the PSI acquisition, growth on existing contracts, and new work.
 
 
·
Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations increased 24% to $0.63 for the first quarter compared to $0.51 reported for the same period last year.
 
 
·
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $167.1 million at December 31, 2012.
 
 
·
Year-to-date new signed contract awards totaled $178 million at December 31, 2012.
 
Revenue for the fiscal 2013 first quarter increased 19% (19% on a constant currency basis) to $286.3 million versus $239.6 million reported for the same period last year. Revenue increases were driven by the acquisition of PSI in April 2012, growth on existing contracts, and new work. First quarter organic revenue increased 5% compared to the same period last year.
 
First quarter income from continuing operations, net of taxes, totaled $21.8 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, and included approximately $0.01 of net legal, settlement and acquisition-related expenses. Excluding these costs, first quarter adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations increased 24% to $0.63 compared to $0.51 reported for the same period last year. A reconciliation to this non-GAAP measure is included in the accompanying financial schedules.
 
First quarter 2013 earnings were better than expected, driven principally by accretive, transaction-based work in the Health Services Segment, primarily in the Company’s Federal Medicare appeals business. The Human Services Segment also benefitted from a temporary uplift in a domestic workforce services program.
 
“With strong performances from both our Health and Human Services Segments, MAXIMUS has set a solid platform for fiscal 2013. During the quarter, we experienced strong volumes from our Federal Medicare appeals business and we also made steady progress in winning new work in the emerging health insurance exchange market. Internationally, we see future opportunities that dovetail nicely with our core capabilities as governments evaluate program affordability and seek solutions to control costs and improve their benefit programs,” commented Richard A. Montoni, Chief Executive Officer of MAXIMUS.
 
 
 

 
 
Health Services Segment
 
Health Services Segment revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 increased 11% to $176.0 million compared to $158.0 million for the same period last year, driven by the PSI acquisition, expansion on existing contracts and higher volumes in the Medicare appeals business line. Health Services Segment operating income for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 increased 23% to $20.6 million (11.7% operating margin) and benefitted from accretive revenue growth. This compares to $16.8 million (10.6% operating margin) in the same period last year which was tempered by the timing of a change order that was recognized in the third quarter of fiscal 2012, as well as margin dilution from the Texas contract where the Company experienced a temporary spike in lower-margin revenue.
 
Human Services Segment
 
Human Services Segment revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 increased 35% to $110.3 million compared to $81.6 million for the same period last year, principally due to the PSI acquisition, the ramp-up in the United Kingdom and new work in Canada and Saudi Arabia. Human Services Segment operating income for the first quarter of 2013 increased 33% to $13.7 million (12.4% operating margin), driven by the expected improvement in the United Kingdom. The Segment also benefitted from performance-based payments in a domestic welfare-to-work program that are not expected to repeat at these higher levels going forward. This compares to $10.3 million (12.6% operating margin) in the same period last year.
 
Sales and Pipeline
 
Year-to-date signed contract wins at December 31, 2012 totaled $178 million compared to $298 million reported for the same period last year. New contracts pending (awarded but unsigned) totaled $459 million compared to $579 million last year. The prior-year period included a $450 million contract extension in Australia. Sales pipeline at February 1, 2013 increased $1.0 billion to $2.7 billion (consisting of $855 million in proposals pending, $283 million in proposals in preparation, and $1.6 billion in proposals tracking) and includes opportunities across multiple geographies and both segments. This compares to $1.7 billion in sales pipeline for the same period last year.
 
Balance Sheet and Cash Flows
 
Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2012 totaled $167.1 million, of which approximately 75% is held overseas. For the first quarter of fiscal 2013, cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations totaled $10.1 million, with negative free cash flow of $0.4 million. Cash flow in the quarter was consistent with seasonal expectations and was tempered lower receivables collections due to the number and timing of holidays. This resulted in Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) from continuing operations of 67 days which are within the Company’s previously stated range of 65 to 80 days.
 
On November 30, 2012, MAXIMUS paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.09 per share, and on January 9, 2013, the Company announced a $0.09 per share cash dividend, payable on February 28, 2013 to shareholders of record on February 15, 2013.
 
During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, MAXIMUS used $14.6 million to purchase 249,549 shares of MAXIMUS common stock under its Board-authorized share repurchase program. At December 31, 2012, the Company had $114.6 million available for future repurchases.
 
Outlook
 
MAXIMUS is increasing its fiscal 2013 revenue and earnings guidance. The Company now expects fiscal 2013 revenue to range between $1.25 billion and $1.30 billion and adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations to range between $3.00 and $3.15.
 
 
 

 
 
Mr. Montoni concluded, “In addition to our many start-up programs going largely as planned, we are experiencing positive trends that give us the confidence to raise our guidance for fiscal 2013. We were pleased by the favorable over-delivery in the quarter and we now expect that health appeals volumes will remain robust for the remainder of the fiscal year. In addition, we have an improved outlook related to work performed on California’s legacy CHIP program. Perhaps most importantly, the Company is starting to see revenue materialize from health insurance exchange support operations sooner than expected. We are excited at the many opportunities before us and believe we are uniquely positioned to benefit from positive, long-term secular trends in our core markets.”

Non-GAAP Measures
 
This release refers to non-GAAP financial measures, including free cash flows from operating activities, adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, constant currency revenue growth, organic growth, and operating income excluding legal, settlement and acquisition-related expenses.
 
To provide constant currency information, revenue from foreign operations is converted into United States dollars using average exchange rates from the previous fiscal year. We believe constant currency revenue growth provides a useful basis for assessing the performance of the Company excluding foreign exchange fluctuations. To provide organic growth information, revenue in the prior year is compared to the current year without PSI revenues. We believe organic growth provides a useful basis for assessing the performance of the business excluding PSI. We have provided a reconciliation of free cash flows to operating cash flows from continuing operations. We believe that free cash flows from operations is a useful basis for investors to compare our performance across periods or across our competitors. Free cash flows show the effects of the Company’s operations and routine capital expenditure and exclude the cash flow effects of acquisitions, share repurchases, dividend payments and other financing transactions. We have provided a reconciliation to adjusted diluted earnings per share and operating income excluding legal, settlement and acquisition-related expenses. We believe that these measures are a useful basis for assessing the Company’s performance excluding the effect of the costs of acquiring PSI and net legal and settlement expenses.
 
The presentation of these non-GAAP numbers is not meant to be considered in isolation, nor as alternatives to net income, cash flows from operating activities, diluted earnings per share, revenue growth and operating income as measures of performance.
 
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 www.maximus.com.
