MAXIMUS, Inc. is establishing its fiscal year 2015 earnings guidance.  The Company presently expects fiscal 2015 revenue to range between $1.9 billion and $2.0 billion and earnings per diluted share to range between $2.25 and $2.40.

The Company’s 2015 guidance includes start-up losses of approximately $0.10 of earnings per diluted share from two large, previously disclosed contracts that launched in August 2014. In addition, a portion of the work the Company performed in 2014 associated with the Affordable Care Act (ACA) may not repeat in fiscal 2015. The Company estimates that the revenue associated with this non-recurring ACA work ranged between $50 million and $100 million. The fiscal 2015 guidance also includes estimated revenue and earnings related to new business awards currently in contract negotiation and probability-weighted sales pipeline opportunities.

The Company is in the process of completing its fiscal year 2014 audit and will report earnings for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014 on November 13, 2014.  The Company presently expects that it will report fiscal 2014 revenue that will be at the mid-point of its guidance range of $1.68 billion to $1.73 billion. The Company also expects to deliver earnings per diluted share at the high end of its guidance range of $2.00 to $2.10.
