Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
For the Quarter Ended June 30, 2014
Throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the terms Company, we, us, our and MAXIMUS refer to MAXIMUS, Inc. and its subsidiaries unless this report otherwise indicates or the context otherwise requires.
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
Included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about our company, the industry in which we operate and other matters, as well as managements beliefs and assumptions and other statements that are not historical facts. Words such as anticipate, believe, could, expect, estimate, intend, may, opportunity, plan, potential, project, should, and will and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements and convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes. These statements are not guarantees and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Actual outcomes and results may differ materially from such forward- looking statements due to a number of factors, including without limitation,
· a failure on our part to comply with federal, state or local laws governing our business, which might result in us being subject to fines, penalties and other sanctions;
· a failure to meet performance requirements in our contracts, which might lead to contract termination and liquidated damages;
· the outcome of reviews or audits by federal, state and local governments, which might result in financial penalties and reduce our ability to respond to invitations for new work;
· the effects of future legislative or government budgetary and spending changes;
· other factors set forth in Exhibit 99.1 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2013, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 19, 2013.
As a result of these and other factors, our past financial performance should not be relied on as an indication of future performance. Additionally, we caution investors not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements as these statements speak only as of the date when made. Except as otherwise required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether resulting from new information, future events or otherwise.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Three and Nine Months Ended June 30, 2014 and 2013
1. Organization and basis of presentation
General
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year. The balance sheet at September 30, 2013 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates including those related to revenue recognition and cost estimation on certain contracts, the realizability of goodwill, and amounts related to income taxes, certain accrued liabilities and contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated audited financial statements and the notes thereto at September 30, 2013 and 2012 and for each of the three years ended September 30, 2013, included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2013 which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 19, 2013. Certain comparative balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

4. Supplemental disclosures
During the nine months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company made income tax payments of $57.4 million and $40.6 million, respectively.
At June 30, 2014, the Company held cash and cash equivalents of $182.9 million. Approximately 55% of these funds are in jurisdictions outside the United States and the Company does not intend at this time to transfer these funds to the United States.
5. Business combinations
Health Management Limited
On July 1, 2013 (the acquisition date), the Company acquired 100% of the share capital of Health Management Limited (HML) for total consideration of $77.9 million (£51.1 million). The consideration was comprised of $71.4 million (£46.9 million) in cash and 202,972 shares of MAXIMUS stock worth $6.4 million (£4.2 million).
HML provides independent health assessments within the United Kingdom. MAXIMUS acquired HML, among other reasons, to expand the Companys independent medical assessment business and to establish a strong presence in the United Kingdom health services market. The acquired assets and business have been integrated into the Companys Health Services Segment.
The Company allocated the acquisition price to the fair value of the assets and liabilities of HML at the acquisition date. The Company provided estimates of these balances at September 30, 2013 and has updated these estimates as more information became available. The Company has completed this exercise and no additional changes to the acquisition date balance sheet are expected. The assets and liabilities of HML recorded in the Companys financial statements at the acquisition date are summarized below (in thousands):

Centacare
On January 31, 2014, the Company acquired certain businesses trading as Centacare for $2.7 million ($3.1 million Australian) in cash. The operations of these businesses are consistent with the services provided by MAXIMUS in Australia. The Company acquired these businesses in order to expand our operations in Australia.
Of the purchase price, MAXIMUS allocated $3.2 million to intangible assets, representing customer relationships, and $0.5 million to deferred revenue. The intangible assets will be amortized over the anticipated lives of the customer relationships, which are approximately four years.
The businesses acquired with Centacare were immediately integrated into the existing MAXIMUS business within our Human Services segment. The results of the acquired business would not be material for any periods shown.

7. Credit facilities
On March 15, 2013, the Company entered into an unsecured five-year revolving credit agreement (the Credit Agreement). The Credit Agreement amends and restates the Companys existing revolving credit agreement entered into in January 2008. The Credit Agreement provides for a revolving line of credit up to $100 million that may be used for revolving loans; swingline loans (subject to a sublimit of $5 million), and to request letters of credit, subject to a sublimit of $30 million. The line of credit is available for general corporate purposes, including working capital, capital expenditures and acquisitions. The arrangement terminates on March 15, 2018, at which time all outstanding borrowings must be repaid.
At June 30, 2014, the Companys only indebtedness under the Credit Agreement was four letters of credit totaling $6.7 million. Each of these letters of credit may be called by customers in the event that the Company defaults under the terms of a contract, the probability of which we believe is remote. In addition, two letters of credit totaling $3.0 million, secured with restricted cash balances, are held with another financial institution to cover similar obligations. During the nine month period ended June 30, 2014, the Company borrowed $15.0 million, which was repaid within the period.
The Credit Agreement requires the Company to comply with certain financial covenants and other covenants including a maximum total leverage ratio and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of June 30, 2014. The obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by material domestic subsidiaries of the Company. The Credit Facility is currently unsecured. In the event that the Companys total leverage ratio, as defined in the credit agreement, exceeds 2.5 to 1.0 or the Company incurs a certain level of indebtedness outside of the Credit Agreement, the Credit Agreement will become secured by the assets of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries. At June 30, 2014, our total leverage ratio was negligible.
The Credit Agreement provides for an annual commitment fee payable on funds not borrowed or utilized for letters of credit. This charge is based upon the Companys leverage and varies between 0.15% and 0.3%. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at our choice at either (a) a Base Rate plus a margin that varies between 0.0% and 0.75% per year, (b) a Eurocurrency Rate plus an applicable margin that varies between 1.0% and 1.75% per year or (c) an Index Rate plus an applicable margin which varies between 1.0% and 1.75% per year. The Base Rate, Eurocurrency Rate and Index Rate are defined by the Credit Agreement and the applicable percentages are based upon the Companys leverage rate at the time of the borrowing.
In addition to this revolving credit facility, the Company has a loan agreement with the Atlantic Innovation Fund of Canada. This provided a loan of $1.8 million (Canadian), the proceeds of which were required to be used for specific technology-based research and development. The loan has no interest charge. At June 30, 2014, $1.3 million ($1.4 million Canadian) was outstanding under this agreement, which is repayable in 32 remaining quarterly installments.
Certain contracts require us to provide a surety bond as a guarantee of performance. At June 30, 2014, the Company had performance bond commitments totaling $39.3 million. These bonds are typically renewed annually and remain in place until the contractual obligations have been satisfied. Although the triggering events vary from contract to contract, in general we would only be liable for the amount of these guarantees in the event of default in our performance of our obligations under each contract, the probability of which we believe is remote.
8. Commitments and contingencies
The Company is involved in various legal proceedings, including the matters described below, in the ordinary course of its business.
In March 2009, a state Medicaid agency asserted a claim against MAXIMUS, related to a discontinued business line, in the amount of $2.3 million in connection with a contract MAXIMUS had through February 1, 2009 to provide Medicaid administrative claiming services to school districts in the state. MAXIMUS entered into separate agreements with the school districts under which MAXIMUS helped the districts prepare and submit claims to the state Medicaid agency which, in turn, submitted claims for reimbursement to the United States Federal Government. No legal action has been initiated. The state has asserted that its agreement with MAXIMUS requires the Company to reimburse the state for the amounts owed to the Federal Government. However, the Companys agreements with the school districts require them to reimburse MAXIMUS for such payments and therefore MAXIMUS believes the school districts are responsible for any amounts disallowed by the state Medicaid agency or the Federal Government. The Company believes its exposure in this matter is limited to its fees associated with this work and that the school districts will be responsible for the remainder. MAXIMUS has exited the federal health care claiming business and no longer provides the services at issue in this matter.
In 2008, MAXIMUS sold the SchoolMAX student information system business line as part of the divestiture of the MAXIMUS Education Systems division. In 2012, a school district (District) which was a SchoolMAX client filed a formal arbitration notice alleging that MAXIMUS and the buyer failed to (i) use best practices in developing the software and (ii) deliver and test product releases as required by the contract. The District contended that those failures resulted in damages of at least $10 million. In December 2012, the arbitration panel denied the Districts claims in their entirety. Costs related to the arbitration proceeding have been included within discontinued operations. The District subsequently filed a motion to vacate the decision of the arbitration panel which was denied by the court in July 2013. The District has appealed that ruling. Separately, in late 2012, the District claimed that MAXIMUS had defrauded the District in 2007 or 2008 by misrepresenting its intentions regarding the sale of the Education Systems division. That allegation was not part of the arbitration, and no formal claim or lawsuit has been filed. The company believes it has a number of defenses to that allegation and would contest it vigorously if it were formally asserted.
In January 2014, MAXIMUS was named a defendant in Norton et al. v. MAXIMUS in the U.S. District Court for Idaho. The plaintiffs in this purported class action are current and former trainers and supervisors at the MAXIMUS federal health care projects in Boise, Idaho and Brownsville, Texas. They allege the Company willfully misclassified them as exempt employees under the Fair Labor Standards Act and failed to pay them overtime, and they seek to establish a nationwide class covering the companys federal health care operations. The plaintiffs allege compensatory and punitive damages of at least $5.0 million. MAXIMUS has since reclassified the trainers as non-exempt employees and is seeking an expedited resolution of their wage claims. MAXIMUS denies liability as to the supervisors and will contest the matter vigorously. As of June 30, 2014, the Company has reserved $0.6 million to cover the estimated legal costs of defending this lawsuit, in addition to estimated liabilities to employees.
9. Stock repurchase program
Under a resolution adopted in November 2011, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase, at managements discretion, of up to an aggregate of $125 million of the Companys common stock. Under a resolution adopted in June 2014, the Company increased this balance by $150 million, from $43.7 million to $193.7 million. The resolutions also authorized the use of option exercise proceeds for the repurchase of the Companys common stock. During the nine months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company repurchased 1,406,667 and 828,898 common shares at a cost of $60.9 million and $27.0 million, respectively. The amount available for future repurchases was $187.3 million at June 30, 2014.
The Company has acquired an additional 403,433 common shares at a cost of $17.0 million between July 1, 2014 and August 8, 2014.
10. Revenue recognition
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This new standard will change the manner in which the Company evaluates revenue recognition for all contracts with customers, although the effect of the changes on revenue recognition will vary from contract to contract. The Company will adopt this standard during its 2018 fiscal year. At present, the Company is continuing to evaluate the effect of this standard.
11. Dividend
On July 3, 2014, the Companys Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.045 for each share of the Companys common stock outstanding. The dividend is payable on August 29, 2014 to shareholders of record on August 15, 2014.
Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is provided to enhance the understanding of, and should be read in conjunction with, our Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes included both herein and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2013, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 19, 2013.
Business Overview
We provide business process services (BPS) to government health and human services agencies under our mission of Helping Government Serve the People. ® Our business is focused almost exclusively on administering government-sponsored programs, such as Medicaid, CHIP, health care reform, welfare-to-work, Medicare, child support and other government programs. We are one of the largest pure-play health and human services administrative providers to governments in the United States, Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom and Saudi Arabia. We use our deep domain expertise, repeatable processes and technology solutions to help government agencies run efficient, cost-effective programs and to improve program accountability and outcomes, while enhancing the quality of services provided to program beneficiaries.
Both within the United States and internationally, governments are being challenged by factors that increase social burdens, including aging populations and demands for health care reform, offset by reduced funds with which to deal with these demands. We believe that these trends will continue to provide a demand for services that can be met by companies such as MAXIMUS. We are also seeing increased scrutiny and heightened accountability within the markets which we serve. The Company believes that a combination of its rigorous employee training, stringent adherence to its Standards of Business Conduct and Ethics, robust financial performance and global experience gives existing and future customers the confidence that MAXIMUS can reliably operate their high-profile public health and human services programs.
During fiscal year 2012, the Company acquired Policy Studies, Inc. (PSI). This acquisition strengthened MAXIMUS leadership in the administration of public health and human services programs within the United States. During fiscal year 2013, the Company acquired Health Management Limited (HML), a provider of independent health assessments in the United Kingdom. We believe the acquisition of these businesses has provided MAXIMUS with enhanced expertise and knowledge base to enable us to compete for work both domestically and internationally.
Financial overview
The Company experienced significant growth in both revenue and operating profit for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same periods in fiscal year 2013. The principal driver of this growth was contracts in our Health Services segment related to the Affordable Care Act (ACA). In serving our clients, we delivered high-quality customer contact center operations and comprehensive contingency plans where technology issues in the health insurance exchanges were causing delays. The Company was also effectively able to address spikes in call volumes where consumers were unable to enroll in health plans using health insurance exchange websites.
The Company continues to see opportunities to expand further our business related to the ACA and Medicaid-related initiatives. MAXIMUS is currently providing customer contact centers for five states, the District of Columbia and the United States Federal Government. At present, 36 states use the federal marketplace rather than a state-based health insurance exchange and the Company anticipates that some of these states may migrate to their own exchanges over the next several years. If this does occur, there will be opportunities for experienced service providers such as MAXIMUS to operate these exchanges. In international markets, we continue to see demand as governments rationalize their benefits programs and increase their propensity to outsource. We believe that this will provide opportunities to providers like MAXIMUS in both our existing and new markets.
The Company reported strong operating cash flows in the nine month period ended June 30, 2014 driven by increased business. The Company continued to invest funds in working capital as well as in repurchases of common stock. At June 30, 2014, the Company held $182.9 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, of which approximately 55% is held in foreign locations, and minimal debt.

The following provides an overview of the significant elements of our Consolidated Statements of Operations. As each of our business segments have different factors driving revenue growth and profitability, the sections that follow cover these segments in greater detail.
Revenue increased 26% and 34% for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2014, compared to their respective comparative periods. The acquisition of HML resulted in growth of 4.9% for the three and nine month periods respectively, with the balance driven by organic growth. This growth was driven by the Health Services segment, which received the benefit of significant new work and expansion of existing work related to the Affordable Care Act.
Gross profit margins have declined in fiscal year 2014 compared to the prior year. These declines are principally driven by our Health Services segment.
Selling, general and administrative expense (SG&A) consists of costs related to general management, marketing and administration. These costs include salaries, benefits, bid and proposal efforts, travel, recruiting, continuing education, employee training, non-chargeable labor costs, facilities costs, printing, reproduction, communications, equipment depreciation, intangible amortization and legal expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business. SG&A as a percentage of revenue has declined in the quarter ended June 30, 2014, compared with the same period in the prior year. This decline was driven by the significant increase in revenue in fiscal year 2014.
Operating income for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2014 increased 24% to $55.3 million and 34% to $173.5 million, compared with the comparative periods in fiscal year 2013. Operating profit margins remain broadly comparative year-over-year.
Interest and other income, net includes interest earned on cash and cash equivalents and on a note received by the Company for the disposal of a business in fiscal year 2008. The balance also includes immaterial foreign exchange gains and losses and the noncontrolling interest of our operations. Almost all of the income recorded represents income from interest on cash accounts in foreign jurisdictions. The declines recorded reflect the use of foreign cash balances in July 2013 to acquire HML.
The provision for income taxes for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 was $65.4 million, reflecting an effective tax rate of 37.5%. The Company received the benefit of tax credits of $0.7 million during the current fiscal year.
Health Services
The Health Services Segment provides a variety of business process services for state, provincial and federal programs, such as the ACA, Medicaid, CHIP, Medicare and the Health Insurance British Columbia Program.

Revenue increased by 40% and 57% for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2014, compared with the comparative periods in fiscal year 2013. HML contributed 7.5% and 7.9% to growth for the three and nine month periods, respectively, with most of the balance driven by new work and expansion of existing contracts related to the implementation and support of the ACA.
Gross profit margins have declined for both the three month and nine month periods ended June 30, 2014. This has been driven by lower margins in our new health care contracts with the Federal Government, which are reimbursed on a cost-plus basis and therefore typically receive lower margins. During the latter half of fiscal year 2013 and the first half of the current year, the Company received the benefit of accretive growth in our appeals and assessments businesses. This growth offset the declines in gross profit for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the prior year.
Operating profit margins for fiscal year 2014 reflect the effects of the contracts noted above and additional charges related to HMLs intangible asset amortization, offset by the effect of the Companys economies of scale as the growth in the business exceeds the increase in the Companys SG&A.
We anticipate that increased demand for ACA and Medicaid-related services will continue throughout fiscal year 2014 with additional supplemental work to support both programs. Although most of this work is recurring, some services will not be repeated in fiscal year 2015. We also anticipate that volumes in our ACA-related work will be lower next year. We anticipate that volumes within our appeals and assessments businesses will decline due to changes in the Recovery Audit Contractor (RAC) program.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014, the Company will commence operations in two new large programs with the United States Department of Education and the United Kingdom Department of Work and Pensions. These contracts are anticipated to record losses over the next few quarters as the level of work expands. The Company is also anticipating contract amendments on other projects in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014 which are expected to offset the losses in that quarter.
Human Services
The Human Services Segment includes a variety of business process services, case management, job training and support services for programs such as welfare-to-work programs, child support, K-12 special education and other specialized consulting services.

Revenues decreased 1.9% three month period ended June 30, 2014, compared to the comparative period in fiscal 2013. This decline was principally driven by declines in the value of the Australian Dollar compared to the United States Dollar. For the nine months ended June 30, 2014, revenue declined 5.2% compared to the same period in fiscal year 2013. The prior year included a one-time benefit from a contract termination of $16.0 million of revenue and $10.9 million of profit.
Gross profit and operating margins have improved for the three months ended June 30, 2014, principally driven by the performance of our short-term consulting contracts. Gross and operating profit margins for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 received the benefit of a contract termination, resulting in a one-time benefit to these results. Excluding the effects of this termination, gross profit and operating profit margins would have grown, driven by the Companys international businesses and short-term consulting projects.
In future quarters, we anticipate growth from the expansion of our contracts in Australia, where MAXIMUS has been awarded a greater allocation of work based upon past performance. This growth will initially temper margins as the work commences in the final quarter of fiscal year 2014.
Discontinued operations
The Company continues to record small gains on the sale of Unison MAXIMUS, Inc. (Unison), a business that was sold in May 2008. The consideration for the sale included a promissory note that is fully reserved. Small payments continue to be received on this note but owing to uncertainties over the collectability of the full balance, the Company has only recorded a gain on sale where recovery is considered assured, which is typically when cash payments are received. The Company has recorded gains of $0.2 million in the nine month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At June 30, 2014, the Company held $182.9 million in cash and cash equivalents. Approximately 55% of these funds are held in foreign locations in which we do business, principally Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom. If we were to transfer these funds to the United States, the Company would be required to accrue and pay additional taxes. We do not intend to repatriate these funds and, accordingly, we have not attempted to quantify the charges which might arise if we were to make this transaction. The charges would vary based upon tax legislation in the United States and the other foreign jurisdictions, as well as the manner and timing in which MAXIMUS would make these transactions.
Accordingly, domestic cash flows are required to cover dividend payments and share repurchases. In addition, the acquisition of PSI in 2012 was funded with domestic cash and we would expect any other acquisitions taking place in the United States would be funded in a similar manner. Payments from our customers are our principal source of cash inflows, which are affected by billing schedules, payment terms and delays in payments. Delays in payments most often occur at the beginning of contractual arrangements or may be driven by difficulties with state and local budgets. Although the Company has experienced such delays from customers, most funds are ultimately recovered in full. The Company may also experience cash outflows from contracts at their inception, as start-up costs are incurred prior to revenues being billable, and, where contracts are performance-based, a project may experience initial cash outflows until outcome-based payments are received. The Company utilizes a credit facility with up to $100 million of borrowing capacity. During the nine month period ended June 30, 2014, the Company borrowed $15 million to cover short-term cash requirements. This balance was repaid before March 31, 2014. No borrowings were outstanding at June 30, 2014.
In general, although some foreign locations have required initial investment, the Company has been able to utilize cash flows from operations to fund working capital and capital expenditure requirements in all locations in which it has operated and the Company continues to expect that this will be the case. The Company has one loan: an interest-free loan from the Atlantic Innovation Fund of Canada, which must be used for specific purposes.
At June 30, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants.

Cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 was $165.2 million, compared with $89.2 million in the same period in fiscal year 2013. Operating cash inflows have increased due to the Companys increased business. In addition, as a significant number of new contracts commenced in the latter half of fiscal year 2013, there were administrative delays in payments from our clients. Many of these issues have been resolved in fiscal year 2014 and this has resulted in significant cash receipts in excess of revenues. However, owing to the growth of the business as well as the anticipated timing of cash receipts, we are anticipating that the Companys accounts receivable balance will grow during the fourth fiscal quarter of 2014.
Cash used in investing activities from continuing operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 was $29.9 million, compared to $34.9 million for the same period in fiscal year 2013. Investment in property and equipment and capitalized software has declined by approximately $11.0 million year-over-year, reflecting the significant investment which occurred in fiscal year 2013 to address many project start-ups in fiscal year 2014. This decline was offset by a payment of $2.7 million in fiscal year 2014 related to the Companys acquisition of Centacares business and the receipt of $3.4 million in fiscal year 2013 related to the final settlement of the acquisition price of PSI.
Cash used in financing activities from continuing operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 was $79.3 million, compared to $39.5 million for the same period in fiscal year 2013. The Company has continued to repurchase common stock in fiscal year 2014, using $59.4 million compared with $27.8 million in fiscal year 2013.
The Companys cash balance increased by $1.3 million in the nine month period ended June 30, 2014 from foreign exchange rate fluctuations. The principal driver of this change was the strengthening of the British Pound against the United States Dollar.
To supplement our statements of cash flows presented on a GAAP basis, we use the non-GAAP measure of free cash flow from continuing operations to analyze the funds generated from operations. We believe free cash flow from continuing operations is a useful basis for comparing our performance with our competitors. The presentation of non-GAAP free cash flows from continuing operations is not meant to be considered in isolation, or as an alternative to net income as an indicator of performance, or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. We calculate free cash flow from continuing operations as follows:

Repurchases of the Companys common stock
Under a resolution adopted in November 2011, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase, at managements discretion, of up to an aggregate of $125 million of the Companys common stock. Under a resolution adopted in June 2014, the Company increased this balance by $150 million. The resolutions also authorized the use of option exercise proceeds for the repurchase of the Companys common stock. During the nine months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company repurchased 1,406,667 and 828,898 common shares at a cost of $60.9 million and $27.0 million, respectively. The amount available for future repurchases was $187.3 million at June 30, 2014.
Letters of Credit and Performance Bonds
Certain contracts require us to provide a letter of credit or a surety bond as a guarantee of performance. At June 30, 2014, the Company had letters of credit totaling $9.7 million and performance bond commitments totaling $39.3 million. These letters of credit and performance bonds are typically renewed annually and remain in place until the contractual obligations have been satisfied. Although the triggering events vary from contract to contract, in general, we would only be liable for the amount of these guarantees in the event of default in our performance of our obligations under each contract, the probability of which we believe is remote.
Dividend
On July 3, 2014, the Companys Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.045 for each share of the Companys common stock outstanding. The dividend is payable on August 29, 2014 to shareholders of record on August 15, 2014.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2014, there were no significant changes to the critical accounting policies we disclosed in Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2013.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
There have been no material changes in the information presented in Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2013.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective and designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) identified in connection with the evaluation of our internal control that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
The Company is involved in various legal proceedings, including the matters described below, in the ordinary course of its business.
In March 2009, a state Medicaid agency asserted a claim against MAXIMUS, related to a discontinued business line, in the amount of $2.3 million in connection with a contract MAXIMUS had through February 1, 2009 to provide Medicaid administrative claiming services to school districts in the state. MAXIMUS entered into separate agreements with the school districts under which MAXIMUS helped the districts prepare and submit claims to the state Medicaid agency which, in turn, submitted claims for reimbursement to the United States Federal Government. No legal action has been initiated. The state has asserted that its agreement with MAXIMUS requires the Company to reimburse the state for the amounts owed to the Federal Government. However, the Companys agreements with the school districts require them to reimburse MAXIMUS for such payments and therefore MAXIMUS believes the school districts are responsible for any amounts disallowed by the state Medicaid agency or the Federal Government. The Company believes its exposure in this matter is limited to its fees associated with this work and that the school districts will be responsible for the remainder. MAXIMUS has exited the federal health care claiming business and no longer provides the services at issue in this matter.
In 2008, MAXIMUS sold the SchoolMAX student information system business line as part of the divestiture of the MAXIMUS Education Systems division. In 2012, a school district (District) which was a SchoolMAX client filed a formal arbitration notice alleging that MAXIMUS and the buyer failed to (i) use best practices in developing the software and (ii) deliver and test product releases as required by the contract. The District contended that those failures resulted in damages of at least $10 million. In December 2012, the arbitration panel denied the Districts claims in their entirety. Costs related to the arbitration proceeding have been included within discontinued operations. The District subsequently filed a motion to vacate the decision of the arbitration panel which was denied by the court in July 2013. The District has appealed that ruling. Separately, in late 2012, the District claimed that MAXIMUS had defrauded the District in 2007 or 2008 by misrepresenting its intentions regarding the sale of the Education Systems division. That allegation was not part of the arbitration, and no formal claim or lawsuit has been filed. The company believes it has a number of defenses to that allegation and would contest it vigorously if it were formally asserted.
In January 2014, MAXIMUS was named a defendant in Norton et al. v. MAXIMUS in the U.S. District Court for Idaho. The plaintiffs in this purported class action are current and former trainers and supervisors at the MAXIMUS federal health care projects in Boise, Idaho and Brownsville, Texas. They allege the Company willfully misclassified them as exempt employees under the Fair Labor Standards Act and failed to pay them overtime, and they seek to establish a nationwide class covering the companys federal health care operations. The plaintiffs allege compensatory and punitive damages of at least $5.0 million. MAXIMUS has since reclassified the trainers as non-exempt employees and is seeking an expedited resolution of their wage claims. MAXIMUS denies liability as to the supervisors and will contest the matter vigorously. As of June 30, 2014, the Company has reserved $0.6 million to cover the estimated legal costs of defending this lawsuit, in addition to estimated liabilities to employees.
