MAXIMUS, Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Three-Month Periods Ended December 31, 2002 and 2001

(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

 

In these Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the terms the “Company” and “MAXIMUS” refer to MAXIMUS, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

 

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles 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 footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normally recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the three-month period ended December 31, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year. The balance sheet at September 30, 2002 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

 

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements as of September 30, 2002 and 2001 and for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 2002, included in the Company’s Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2002 (File No. 1-12997) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 20, 2002.

 

2. Business Combinations

 

In fiscal 2003, the Company acquired the business described below in a business combination accounted for as a purchase. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of the acquired business since the date of acquisition.

 

On October 1, 2002, the Company acquired Themis Program Management and Consulting Limited and GAEA Management Ltd. (together “Themis”) for $1,898. Per the terms of the agreement, additional consideration may be paid resulting from new contracts awarded to the Company during annual performance periods from April 2002 through April 2005. In conjunction with the purchase, the Company recorded goodwill of $1,238 and intangible assets, primarily non-competition agreements and customer relationships, of $660, which have been assigned to the Human Services Group business segment. Themis operates the Family Maintenance Enforcement Program in the Province of British Columbia, Canada. This program is designed to ensure family maintenance payments are made pursuant to the Family Maintenance Enforcement Act. The primary reason for acquiring Themis was to expand the Company’s presence and services to international markets.

 

3. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations (“FAS 141”), and No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“FAS 142”). Under the new rules, goodwill is no longer amortized but is subject to annual impairment tests in accordance with FAS 141 and FAS 142. The Company elected to adopt FAS 141 and 142 effective October 1, 2001,

and as a result, amortization of goodwill was discontinued as of the beginning of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002.

 

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the three months ended December 31, 2002 are as follows (in thousands):

Intangible assets from acquisitions, which consist primarily of non-competition agreements, technology-based intangibles, and customer relationships, are amortized over five to ten years. The weighted-average amortization period for intangible assets is approximately eight years. The estimated amortization expense for the years ending September 30, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007 is $1,089, $1,027, $972, $957, and $905, respectively.

4. Commitments and Contingencies

 

Litigation

 

On December 5, 2000, the Village of Maywood, Illinois (the “Village”) sued Unison MAXIMUS, Inc. (“Unison”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois. The Company acquired Unison Consulting Group, Inc. in May 1999 and subsequently renamed it “Unison MAXIMUS, Inc.” Unison remains a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Village had contracted with Unison to provide a variety of financial and consulting services from 1996 through 1999. The Village has alleged inter alia breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, and fraud. The action is in the discovery and motion phase and no trial date has been set. The complaint does not specify the Village’s damages. In September 2002, the Village filed a purported expert report with the court that estimated the Village’s damages to be approximately $47 million. The Company and Unison believe that report is deeply flawed and the Village’s claims are without merit. Unison intends to defend the action vigorously. Unison tendered the claim to the Company’s insurance carrier. Although there is no assurance of a favorable outcome, the Company does not believe that this action will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations, and the Company has not accrued for any loss related to this action.

The Company is involved in various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of its business. Management does not expect the ultimate outcome of the legal proceedings to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or its results of operations.

6. Stock Repurchase Program

 

In May 2000, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase, at management’s discretion, of up to $30,000 of the Company’s common stock. In June 2002, the Board of Directors authorized the use of option exercise proceeds for the repurchase of the Company’s common stock. In July 2002, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase, at management’s discretion, of up to an additional $30,000 of the Company’s common stock. During the three-month period ended December 31, 2002, the Company repurchased 379,800 shares. At December 31, 2002, $8,859 remained available for future stock repurchases under the program.

 

7. Restricted Stock Units

 

In May 2002, the Company issued 170,000 Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) to certain executive officers and employees under its 1997 Equity Incentive Plan. The grant-date fair value of each RSU was $30.14. The RSUs will vest in full upon the sixth anniversary of the date of grant, provided, however, that the vesting will accelerate if the Company meets certain earnings targets determined by the Board of Directors as set forth in the RSUs. The fair value of the RSUs at the grant date is amortized to expense over the vesting period. Compensation expense recognized related to these RSUs for the three-month period ended December 31, 2002 was $256.

 

8. Employee Stock Option Plan

 

The Company accounts for its employee stock option plan under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations. No stock option based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all employee stock options granted under the plan had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.

 

The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value provisions of FAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee compensation for the periods indicated.

Item 2.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

Business Overview

 

We are a leading provider of program management, consulting services and systems solutions primarily to governments. Since our inception, we have been at the forefront of innovation in meeting our mission of “Helping Government Serve the People®.” We use our expertise, experience and advanced information technology to make government operations more efficient while improving the quality of services provided to program beneficiaries. We operate primarily in the United States and we have had contracts with government agencies in all 50 states. We have been profitable every year since we were founded in 1975. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002, we had revenue of $518.7 million and income of $40.3 million. For the three months ended December 31, 2002, we had revenue of $132.7 million and net income of $10.1 million.

 

Business Combinations and Acquisitions

 

As part of our growth strategy, we intend to continue to selectively identify and pursue complementary businesses to expand our geographic reach and the breadth and depth of our services and to enhance our customer base. On October 1, 2002, we acquired Themis Program Management and Consulting Limited and GAEA Management Ltd. (together “Themis”), located in British Columbia, Canada, for cash consideration of approximately $1.9 million. Additional consideration may be paid based on Themis achieving certain future performance objectives. In conjunction with the purchase, we recorded approximately $1.2 million of goodwill and $0.7 million of intangible assets, which has been assigned to the Human Services Group business segment.

Our consolidated revenue increased 2.4% for the three months ended December 31, 2002 compared to the same period in fiscal 2002. Excluding revenue related to acquisitions, we had an overall decline in revenue of 3.8% for the three months ended December 31, 2002 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2001.

Our gross margin was 31.8% for the three months ended December 31, 2002 compared to 30.5% for the same period in the 2002 fiscal year. Gross margin increased 130 basis points for the three months ended December 31, 2002 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2001.

 

Selling, general and administrative expense (“SG&A”) consists of management, marketing and administration costs (including salaries, benefits, bid and proposal efforts, travel, recruiting, continuing education and training), facilities costs, printing, reproduction, communications and equipment depreciation. SG&A increased in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 compared to the same period in fiscal 2002 due to the increase in expenses necessary to support higher revenue and to strengthen the infrastructure to market and grow the Company, including our proposal facilities and systems, and new finance, operational, and compliance personnel. The increase was also due to SG&A related to businesses acquired in fiscal 2002.

 

Our provision for income tax for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2002 was 39.5% of income before income taxes as compared to 40.0% for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2001.

 

Net income for the three months ended December 31, 2002 was $10.1 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, compared with net income of $11.2 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, for the three months ended December 31, 2001.

Revenue of our Consulting Group decreased 0.6% for the three months ended December 31, 2002 compared to the same period in fiscal 2002. Gross margin decreased to 42.1% for the three months ended December 31, 2002 from 46.5% for the same period in fiscal 2002. These declines were primarily due to weaknesses in our management consulting and IT consulting practices as government procurement of large system projects has weakened.

Revenue of our Health Services Group decreased 1.6% for the three months ended December 31, 2002 compared to the same period in fiscal 2002. This decrease was due to volume of certain existing contracts and reductions in certain discretionary components, such as mailing and advertising. Gross margin increased to 24.8% for the three months ended December 31, 2002 from 21.1% for the same period in fiscal 2002. This increase was due primarily to improved project profitability.

Revenue of our Systems Group increased 14.8% for the three months ended December 31, 2002 compared to the same period in fiscal 2002. This increase was due to new contracts won by certain divisions within the Group and to revenue of $0.5 million from entities acquired in fiscal 2002. Gross margin increased to 48.6% for the three months ended December 31, 2002 from 42.6% for the same period in fiscal 2002. This increase was primarily due to increased software license revenue, which carries higher gross margins.

We recognized $256 of non-cash equity-based compensation expense for the three-month period ended December 31, 2002 related to the issuance of restricted stock units in May 2002. In future periods, the quarterly amortization expense related to these restricted stock units is estimated to be approximately $214, which amount may increase if certain earnings targets are achieved.

 

Interest and other income decreased due to less cash on hand and lower interest rates.

For the three months ended December 31, 2002, cash used in our operations was $0.3 million as compared to cash provided by our operations of $3.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2001. Cash used in operating activities for the three months ended December 31, 2002 primarily consisted of net income of $10.1 million plus non-cash items aggregating $2.9 million offset by net uses of working capital of $13.3 million. Non-cash items included $2.5 million of depreciation and amortization. The net uses of working capital reflect an increase in accounts receivable-billed and accounts receivable-unbilled totaling $13.9 million offset by and an increase in deferred revenue of $0.9 million. During the three months ended December 31, 2001, cash provided by operating activities consisted primarily of net income of $11.2 million plus non-cash items of $2.5 million offset by net uses of working capital of $10.2 million. Non-cash items included $1.4 million of depreciation and amortization. The net uses of working capital were primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable-unbilled of $4.8 million, a decrease in deferred revenue of $2.1 million and a decrease in

accrued compensation of $4.7 million. Cash flow was affected in the first quarter of both fiscal years because we accrue for incentive compensation throughout the fiscal year and make payments to employees in the first quarter.

 

For the three months ended December 31, 2002, cash used in investing activities was $3.9 million as compared to $26.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2001. Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended December 31, 2002 primarily consisted of $2.3 million for acquisitions of business, expenditures for capitalized software costs totaling $0.6 million and purchases of property and equipment of $1.0 million. During the three months ended December 31, 2001, we used $24.0 million in cash in investing activities primarily as a result of decreases in marketable securities and for expenditures related to capitalized software costs totaling $1.7 million and purchases of property and equipment of $1.0 million.

 

For the three months ended December 31, 2002, cash used in financing activities was $6.6 million as compared to cash provided by financing activities of $3.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2001. Cash used in financing activities for the three months ended December 31, 2002 primarily consisted of $7.5 million of common stock repurchases offset by $0.9 million of sales of stock to employees through our Employee Stock Purchase Plan and Equity Incentive Plan. Cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended December 31, 2001 consisted primarily of $3.9 million of proceeds from sales of stock to employees through our Employee Stock Purchase Plan and Equity Incentive Plan.

 

In May 2000, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase, at management’s discretion, of up to $30.0 million of our common stock. In June 2002, the Board of Directors authorized the use of option exercise proceeds for the repurchase of our common stock. In July 2002, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase, at management’s discretion, of up to an additional $30.0 million of our common stock. During the three-month period ended December 31, 2002 we repurchased 379,800 shares. At December 31, 2002, $8.9 million remained authorized for future stock repurchases under the program.

 

Our working capital at December 31, 2002 was $188.3 million. At December 31, 2002, we had cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of $84.4 million and no debt. Management believes this strong liquidity and financial position allows the Company to continue its stock repurchase program, depending on the price of the Company’s common stock, and to pursue selective acquisitions.

 

Our management believes that we will have sufficient resources to meet our currently anticipated capital expenditure and working capital requirements for at least the next twelve months.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management 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 on going 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.

 

Our management believes that we do not have significant off-balance sheet risk or exposure to liabilities that are not recorded or disclosed in our financial statements. While we have significant operating

 

12



 

lease commitments for office space, those commitments are generally tied to the period of performance under related contracts. Additionally, although on certain contracts we are bound by performance bond commitments, we have not had any defaults resulting in draws on performance bonds. Also, we do not speculate in derivative transactions.

 

We believe the following critical accounting policies affect the significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Revenue recognition. Our revenue is generated from contracts with various payment arrangements, including:  (1) fixed-price; (2) costs incurred plus a negotiated fee (“cost-plus”); (3) performance-based criteria; and (4) time and materials (used primarily by the Consulting Group). Also, some contracts contain “not-to-exceed” provisions. For the three months ended December 31, 2002, revenue from fixed-price contracts was approximately 32% of total revenue; revenue from cost-plus contracts was approximately 20% of total revenue; revenue from performance-based contracts was approximately 36% of total revenue; and revenue from time and materials contracts was approximately 12% of total revenue. A majority of our contracts with state and local government agencies have been fixed-price and performance-based and our contracts with the federal government have been cost-plus. Fixed-price and performance-based contracts generally offer higher margins but typically involve more risk than cost-plus or time and materials reimbursement contracts.

 

We recognize revenue on fixed-priced contracts as services are provided using the percentage of completion method, which relies on estimates of total expected contract revenue and costs. The cumulative impact of any revisions in estimated revenue and costs are recognized in the period in which the facts that give rise to the revision become known. Also, with fixed-price contracts, we are subject to the risk of potential cost overruns. We recognize revenue on our performance-based contracts as such revenue becomes fixed or determinable, which generally occurs when amounts are billable to clients. For certain contracts, this may result in revenue being recognized in large, irregular increments. Additionally, costs related to certain contracts are incurred in periods prior to recognizing revenue. These factors may result in irregular revenue and profit margins for performance-based contracts, which exist in our Consulting Group, Health Services Group and Human Services Group. As a result, with performance-based contracts we have more uncertainty regarding expected future revenue.

 

Our most significant expense is cost of revenue, which consists primarily of project-related costs such as employee salaries and benefits, subcontractors, computer equipment and travel expenses. Management uses its judgment and experience to estimate cost of revenue expected on projects. Our ability to accurately predict personnel requirements, salaries and other costs as well as to effectively manage a project or achieve certain levels of performance can have a significant impact on the gross margins related to our fixed-price, performance-based and time and materials contracts. If actual costs are higher than our estimates, profitability may be adversely affected. Service cost variability has little impact on cost-plus arrangements because allowable costs are reimbursed by the client.

 

The Company also licenses software under non-cancelable license agreements. License fee revenue is recognized when a non-cancelable license agreement is in force, the product has been shipped, the license fee is fixed or determinable, and collection is probable. If the fee is not fixed or determinable, revenue is recognized as payments become due from the client. In addition, when software license contracts contain post-contract customer support as part of a multiple element arrangement, revenue is recognized based upon the vendor-specific objective evidence of the fair value of each element. Maintenance and post-contract customer support revenue are recognized ratably over the term of the related agreements, which in most cases is one year. Revenue from software-related consulting services under time and material contracts and for training is recognized as services are performed. Revenue from other software-related contract services requiring significant modification or customization to software is recognized under the percentage-of-completion method.

 

13



 

The Human Services Group and Health Services Group contracts generally contain base periods of one or more years as well as one or more option periods that may cover more than half of the potential contract duration. As of September 30, 2002, our average Human Services Group and Health Services Group contract duration was approximately 2.5 years. Our Consulting Group contracts had performance periods ranging from one month to approximately two years. Our average Systems Group contract duration was one year.

 

Impairment of goodwill. In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations (“FAS 141”), and No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“FAS 142”). Under the new rules, goodwill is no longer amortized but is subject to annual impairment tests in accordance with FAS 141 and FAS 142. We elected to adopt FAS 141 and 142 effective October 1, 2001, and as a result, amortization of goodwill was discontinued as of the beginning of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002. Upon adoption, the required impairment tests were performed. Results of these impairment tests did not generate any impairment loss. Goodwill will be tested on an annual basis, or more frequently as impairment indicators arise. Annual impairment tests involve the use of estimates related to the fair market values of the business operations with which goodwill is associated. Losses, if any, resulting from annual impairment tests will be reflected in operating income in our income statement.

 

Forward Looking Statements

 

From time to time, we may make forward-looking statements that are not historical facts, including statements about our confidence and strategies and our expectations about revenue, results of operations, profitability, current and future contracts, market opportunities, market demand or acceptance of our products and services. Any statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not statements of historical fact may be forward-looking statements. The words “could,” “estimate,” “future,” “intend,” “may,” “opportunity,” “potential,” “project,” “will,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “expect” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements may involve risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward–looking statements. Examples of these risks 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 this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended December 31, 2002.

 

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

We believe that our exposure to market risk related to the effect of changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices with regard to instruments entered into for trading or for other purposes is immaterial.

 

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.

 

a)             Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-14(c) and 15-d-14(c)) as of a date (the “Evaluation Date”) within 90 days before the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were adequate and designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the requisite time periods.
