MAXIMUS Reports Record Results for Fiscal 2011 Fourth Quarter and Full Year
 
- Introduces Outlook for Fiscal 2012; Board Increases Share Buyback Authorization to $125 Million -
 
RESTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--November 10, 2011--MAXIMUS (NYSE: MMS), a leading provider of government services worldwide, today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended September 30, 2011.
 
Key highlights include:
 
·  
Revenue grew 18% to $250.1 million for the fourth quarter and 12% to $929.6 million for the full fiscal year compared to the same periods last year, driven by growth on current contracts and new work.
 
·  
Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations increased 19% to $0.64 for the fourth quarter and 24% to $2.25 for the full fiscal year compared to the same periods last year.
 
·  
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $173.0 million at September 30, 2011.
 
·  
The Company purchased approximately 1.1 million shares of MAXIMUS common stock for $39.6 million during the fourth quarter and on November 8, 2011, the Board of Directors increased the Company’s share repurchase program to $125 million.
 
·  
The Company achieved record signed awards in fiscal 2011 that totaled $1.6 billion.
 
Revenue for the fiscal 2011 fourth quarter increased 18% (14% on a constant currency basis) to $250.1 million versus $212.5 million reported for the same period last year. Revenue for fiscal year 2011 increased 12% (8% on a constant currency basis) to $929.6 million compared to fiscal year 2010. Revenue increases were driven by organic growth on existing contracts and new work in both Segments and across all geographies.
 
During the fourth quarter, an increased share of international business and other factors reduced the tax rate to 28.9% for the quarter and 34.8% for the fiscal year. As a result, fourth quarter GAAP income from continuing operations, net of taxes, increased 24% to $25.6 million, or $0.73 per diluted share, and includes approximately $0.09 of the aforementioned benefits and a net legal recovery. Normalized for these benefits, fourth quarter adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations increased 19% to $0.64 compared to the same period last year. For the full year, GAAP income from continuing operations, net of taxes, increased 18% to $82.1 million, or $2.31 per diluted share, which includes approximately $0.06 of benefits. Excluding these benefits, adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations increased 24% to $2.25 compared to fiscal 2010. A normalization table is included in the accompanying financial schedules.
 
“MAXIMUS delivered another exceptional year with solid growth in both our Health and Human Services Segments. We won 98% of total contract value up for rebid, securing some of our most important projects for the next several years. Our recently launched operations in the United Kingdom are trending as expected and we recently received notification of award for new strategic work in Canada,” commented Richard A. Montoni, Chief Executive Officer of MAXIMUS.
 
 
 

 
 
Health Services Segment
 
Health Services Segment revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 increased 21% to $156.3 million compared to $129.0 million for the same period last year, principally driven by the expansion of Medicaid managed care and efforts to modernize PharmaNet in British Columbia. For fiscal 2011, revenue increased 10% to $565.9 million compared to $514.3 million the prior year, driven by new work and expansion on existing contracts.
 
Health Services Segment operating income for the fourth quarter grew 3% to $20.6 million with an operating margin of 13.2% compared to $20.0 million in the same period last year. For the full fiscal year, Segment operating income increased 15% to $74.7 million with a 13.2% operating margin compared to $64.7 million in fiscal 2010.
 
Human Services Segment
 
Human Services Segment revenue for the fourth quarter increased 12% (4% on a constant currency basis) to $93.8 million compared to $83.5 million in the prior year period. For fiscal 2011, revenue increased 15% (or 7% on a constant currency basis) to $363.8 million compared to $317.5 million last year. Segment revenue growth was driven by the Company’s international welfare-to-work business in Australia and the United Kingdom.
 
Human Services Segment operating income for the fourth quarter totaled $13.3 million with an operating margin of 14.2% compared to $12.4 million in the same period last year. For the full fiscal year, operating income grew 19% to $46.8 million with a 12.9% operating margin compared to $39.5 million in fiscal 2010.
 
Backlog, Sales and Pipeline
 
The Company reported record backlog totaling $2.9 billion at September 30, 2011, which is a 38% increase over backlog of $2.1 billion at September 30, 2010. The increased backlog was attributable to new wins and the successful award of several large rebids in fiscal 2011.
 
Year-to-date signed contract wins at September 30, 2011 totaled $1.609 billion compared to $685 million for fiscal 2010. New contracts pending (awarded but unsigned) totaled $691 million compared to $709 million last year. Sales opportunities (pipeline) at November 4, 2011, totaled $1.8 billion (consisting of $417 million in proposals pending, $272 million in proposals in preparation and $1.1 billion in proposals tracking) compared to $1.8 billion in fiscal 2010.
 
Balance Sheet and Cash Flows
 
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $173.0 million at September 30, 2011. For the full fiscal year, cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations totaled $97.6 million with free cash flow of $71.5 million, and for the fourth quarter cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations totaled $27.1 million with free cash flow of $17.6 million. The Company defines free cash flow as cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations less cash paid for property, equipment and capitalized software.
 
Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) from continuing operations were favorable at 56 days and driven by the timing of collections.
 
On August 31, 2011, MAXIMUS paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.09 per share, and on October 12, 2011, the Company announced a $0.09 per share cash dividend, payable on November 30, 2011 to shareholders of record on November 15, 2011.
 
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, MAXIMUS used $39.6 million to purchase 1,083,700 shares of MAXIMUS common stock under its Board-authorized share repurchase program. For fiscal 2011, MAXIMUS repurchased a total of 1,597,458 shares and used cash of $56.5 million for buyback activity. At September 30, 2011, the Company had $77.8 million available for future repurchases. However, on November 8, 2011, the Board of Directors increased the share repurchase authorization to $125 million.
 
 
 

 
 
Outlook
 
MAXIMUS is introducing fiscal 2012 revenue guidance in the range of $980 million to $1.015 billion. At September 30, 2011, 95% of forecasted 2012 revenue was in the form of backlog or options periods. The Company expects fiscal 2012 adjusted diluted earnings from continuing operations in the range of $2.20 to $2.30, which reflects the expected start-up losses in fiscal 2012 on the new Work Programme in the United Kingdom. The Company is expecting an improved fiscal 2012 outlook for its UK operations and now expects revenue of approximately $30 million and losses of approximately $9.5 million. The improvement is a result of higher volumes on the Work Programme, as well as a potential termination payment associated with the legacy Flexible New Deal anticipated in the first quarter.
 
Mr. Montoni concluded, “We remain keenly focused on creating the foundation for growth over the next three years and beyond. The need for high quality, efficient social services is a universal one and we believe there will continue to be demand for world-class administration of government programs from vendors who can deliver results. With our fiscal 2012 guidance now in place, we look forward to driving results for our clients and delivering long-term value to our shareholders.”
