MAXIMUS Reports Fiscal 2012 Second Quarter Results
 
- Company Completes PSI Acquisition and Updates Guidance -
 
 
RESTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 3, 2012--MAXIMUS (NYSE: MMS), a leading provider of government services worldwide, today reported financial results for its fiscal second quarter ended March 31, 2012.
 
Key highlights include:
 
 
Revenue for the second quarter grew 7% to $243.5 million compared to the same period last year.
 
 
Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations totaled $0.49 for the second quarter.
 
 
The Company generated strong cash in the second quarter with cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations of $41.5 million and free cash flow of $36.4 million.
 
 
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $229.5 million at March 31, 2012.
 
 
Subsequent to quarter end, the Company signed the $450 million extension for its Australian contract.
 
 
On April 30, 2012, MAXIMUS closed its acquisition of Policy Studies Inc. for a cash purchase price of $67 million.
 
Revenue for the fiscal 2012 second quarter increased 7% to $243.5 million compared to $227.1 million for the same period last year, driven by growth in the Health Services Segment, most notably from the Medicaid managed care expansion in Texas.
 
The Company is revising its tax rates upward to account for a greater mix of business from higher tax rate jurisdictions. In the second quarter, the Company recorded a discrete tax adjustment expense of $3.0 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, related to higher state taxes. Second quarter earnings also included a benefit of $0.6 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, from a net legal recovery. A normalization table is included in the accompanying financial schedules.
 
As a result, second quarter GAAP income from continuing operations, net of taxes, totaled $14.2 million, or $0.41 per diluted share. Excluding the $0.09 discrete tax expense and the $0.01 legal recovery benefit, adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations totaled $0.49. As expected, adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were lower compared to last year primarily due to the ramp up of the Work Programme contract in the United Kingdom.
 
“Second quarter revenue and adjusted earnings from continuing operations were in-line with our expectations,” commented Richard A. Montoni, Chief Executive Officer of MAXIMUS. “We are pleased to complete the PSI acquisition, which closed earlier this week, and we expect a seamless transition as integration efforts are underway. This combination brings together industry-leading subject matter experts who possess extensive experience and knowledge in our core markets. The acquisition allows us to leverage infrastructure, drive further innovation, and bring more business development resources to bear as macro trends continue to drive demand for our services around the world. Most importantly, the acquisition of PSI is a prudent use of cash for driving growth in our core markets and it creates a stronger platform for increasing and maximizing long-term shareholder value.”
 
 
 

 
 
Health Services Segment
 
Health Services Segment revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 increased 17% to $161.2 million compared to $137.8 million for the same period last year, principally driven by the expansion of Medicaid managed care in Texas that was completed in the second quarter. Operating income for the second quarter totaled $18.2 million with an operating margin of 11.3%. Operating margin was lower compared to the same period last year due to normal life-cycle fluctuations in contracts that include new programs ramping up and recently rebid contracts. Operating margin in the quarter was also tempered by growth from a lower-margin contract in Texas and increased SG&A spending on bid and proposal activities in the second quarter.
 
Human Services Segment
 
Human Services Segment revenue for the fiscal 2012 second quarter totaled $82.3 million, which was 8% lower (10% on a constant currency basis) compared to the prior-year period principally due to the transition to the UK Work Programme contract. Operating income for the second quarter was $8.6 million with an operating margin of 10.5%, which is lower compared to the same period last fiscal year.
 
Sales and Pipeline
 
At April 25, 2012, fiscal year-to-date signed contract wins totaled $812 million compared to $904 million reported for the same period last year; the prior-year period included nearly $600 million for two contract renewals. New contracts pending (awarded but unsigned) totaled $284 million compared to $526 million last year. Sales opportunities (pipeline) at April 25, 2012 totaled $1.7 billion (consisting of $435 million in proposals pending, $446 million of proposals in preparation and $837 million in proposals tracking) compared to $1.2 billion the prior year.
 
Balance Sheet and Cash Flows
 
Cash and cash equivalents increased to $229.5 million at March 31, 2012. For the fiscal 2012 second quarter, cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations totaled $41.5 million with free cash flow of $36.4 million. The Company defines free cash flow as cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations of $41.5 million, less cash paid for property and equipment of $4.0 million and capitalized software of $1.1 million. Cash flow in the quarter was driven by solid net income and strong collections, which led to improved Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) of 55 days in the quarter.
 
On February 29, 2012, MAXIMUS paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.09 per share and in April 2012, the Company announced its next quarterly cash dividend of $0.09 per share, payable on May 31, 2012 to shareholders of record on May 15, 2012.
 
In anticipation of the acquisition of PSI, MAXIMUS did not purchase shares during the second quarter of fiscal 2012. At March 31, 2012, the Company had $129.8 million available for repurchases under the current program.
 
Outlook
 
The Company is updating its fiscal 2012 guidance to include the contributions from the acquisition of PSI for the period from May 1, 2012 through September 30, 2012. PSI is expected to generate approximately $55 million to $60 million in revenue for fiscal 2012. MAXIMUS now expects consolidated revenue from continuing operations in the range of $1.030 billion to $1.060 billion for fiscal 2012, which is an increase from its prior guidance of $980 million to $1.015 billion. Excluding acquisition-related costs, the Company expects PSI to be up to $0.05 accretive in fiscal 2012, which is expected to be offset by a higher tax rate for the remainder of the fiscal year. As a result, the Company still expects adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations in the range of $2.20 to $2.30.

Non-GAAP Measures
 
This release refers to non-GAAP financial measures, including free cash flows from operating activities and adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations. The Company believes the measure of free cash flows from operations is a useful basis for comparing its performance to prior periods and competitors and to analyze the underlying trends in the Company’s business. The presentation of free cash flows from continuing operations should not be considered in isolation, nor should it be used in place of net income or cash flows from operating activities as a measure of performance. The Company believes the measure of adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations provides a framework for assessing how the ongoing business performed, or is expected to perform, excluding the effects of legal and settlement expenses or recoveries and certain discrete tax items which have not occurred in the most recent prior years. These adjustments may vary significantly and, in the opinion of management, do not reflect the underlying business of the Company. Adjusted diluted earnings per share should not be used in isolation, nor should it be used in place of diluted earnings per share as a measure of profitability. Reconciliations of both non-GAAP measures to their most comparable GAAP measure have been included in this document.
 
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.
