MAXIMUS Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year Results for Fiscal Year 2017

MAXIMUS (NYSE: MMS), a leading provider of government services worldwide, today reported financial results for the three months and year ended September 30, 2017.

Highlights for fiscal year 2017 include:

  • Revenue growth of 2% to $2.45 billion
  • GAAP diluted earnings per share of $3.17, which includes $0.14 of incremental tax benefits; excluding this benefit, adjusted diluted earnings per share were $3.03
  • Total company operating margin of 12.8%
  • Cash and cash equivalents that totaled $166.3 million at September 30, 2017
  • Record cash generation with cash provided by operating activities totaling $337.2 million and free cash flow of $313.0 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $400.6 million
  • Signed year-to-date contract awards of $2.84 billion, new contracts pending (awarded, but unsigned) of $1.27 billion, and a sales pipeline of $2.39 billion at September 30, 2017

Revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017 of $620.9 million was comparable to the same period last year. Revenue was slightly better than expected due to strong delivery in the Health Services Segment and a higher level of pass-through revenue from the Company's Australian operations in the Human Services Segment.

For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, net income attributable to MAXIMUS totaled $53.3 million, or $0.81 of diluted earnings per share, which was better than expected primarily due to a lower income tax rate in the quarter. This compares to diluted earnings per share of $0.77 for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016.

Revenue for fiscal 2017 increased 2% (3% on a constant currency basis) to $2.45 billion, compared to $2.40 billion reported for fiscal 2016. The increase in revenue was driven by organic growth in our Health Services Segment, partially offset by the expected declines from a subcontract that ended in the Federal Services Segment.

Total company operating margin for fiscal 2017 was strong and increased 90 basis points to 12.8% compared to fiscal 2016.

For fiscal 2017, net income attributable to MAXIMUS totaled $209.4 million, or $3.17 of GAAP diluted earnings per share. Fiscal 2017 diluted earnings per share benefited by approximately $0.14 due to a combination of tax benefits from larger-than-expected tax deductions from stock-related compensation, as well as research and development tax credits from prior years. Excluding the $0.14 in tax benefits, adjusted diluted earnings per share were $3.03 for fiscal 2017.

Health Services Segment

Health Services Segment revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017 increased 4% (4% on a constant currency basis) to $355.3 million, compared to $342.1 million reported for the same period last year. Operating income for the fourth quarter totaled $57.0 million (16.0% operating margin), compared to $50.9 million (14.9% operating margin) for the same period last year.

For the full fiscal year, Health Services Segment revenue increased 6% (9% on a constant currency basis) to $1.38 billion, compared to $1.30 billion for the same period last year. The majority of the revenue growth was organic, with less than 1% from acquired growth. Fiscal 2017 operating income totaled $215.2 million (15.6% operating margin), compared to operating income of $185.0 million (14.3% operating margin) for fiscal 2016.

The increase in revenue for the fourth quarter and the full fiscal year was driven primarily by the expansion of existing contracts and, to a lesser extent, new work. Operating margin expansion in the quarter and full year was principally due to the expected year-over-year service level improvements on a large contract in the U.K. and accretive revenue growth.

U.S. Federal Services Segment

As expected, U.S. Federal Services Segment revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017 decreased 13% to $127.3 million, compared to $146.7 million reported for the same period last year. Operating income for the fourth quarter totaled $13.6 million (10.7% operating margin), compared to $18.6 million (12.7% operating margin) for the same period last year.

For the full fiscal year, U.S. Federal Services Segment revenue decreased 8% to $545.6 million, compared to $591.7 million for the same period last year. Fiscal 2017 operating income totaled $65.0 million (11.9% operating margin), compared to operating income of $63.4 million (10.7% operating margin) for fiscal 2016.

The decrease in revenue for the fourth quarter and the full fiscal year was predominantly driven by a large subcontract that came to an end in April 2017 for work performed for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Revenue contribution from this contract was $63 million lower in fiscal 2017 compared to fiscal 2016. Operating margin expansion for fiscal 2017 improved 120 basis points over the prior year to 11.9%. This was primarily due to contract mix as a result of increased revenue from performance-based contracts.

Human Services Segment

Human Services Segment revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017 increased 3% (1% on a constant currency basis) to $138.2 million, compared to $134.3 million for the same period last year. Operating income for the fourth quarter totaled $10.8 million (7.8% operating margin), compared to $14.5 million (10.8% operating margin) for the same period last year.

For the full fiscal year, Human Services Segment revenue increased 2% (3% on a constant currency basis) to $525.2 million, compared to $513.3 million for the same period last year. Fiscal 2017 operating income totaled $48.6 million (9.2% operating margin), compared to operating income of $47.7 million (9.3% operating margin) for fiscal 2016.

The increase in revenue for the fourth quarter and the full fiscal year was principally driven by a higher level of pass-through revenue in the Company's Australian operations, which was partially offset by the expected revenue decline from the U.K. Work Programme, which is coming to an end. Operating margins in the quarter and full fiscal year were lower than the same periods last year due to the aforementioned pass-through revenue in Australia and the decline from the U.K. Work Programme.

Backlog, Sales and Pipeline

Backlog was $5.70 billion at September 30, 2017. During the fourth quarter, the Company signed approximately $1 billion of contract awards, which brings the year-to-date total of signed contract awards to $2.84 billion at September 30, 2017. During the fourth quarter, the Company received notification of another $1 billion in pending contract awards, which brings the total value of new contracts pending (awarded but unsigned) to $1.27 billion.

The sales pipeline at September 30, 2017 was approximately $2.39 billion (comprised of approximately $623.8 million in proposals pending, $544.5 million in proposals in preparation and $1.23 billion in opportunities tracking). The pipeline is lower compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2017 due to the high level of contracts that converted into new awards. During the fourth quarter, the Company backfilled its pipeline with just under $1 billion in new opportunities. The Company’s sales pipeline only reflects those opportunities where MAXIMUS expects the request for proposal will be released within the next six months.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flows

Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2017 totaled $166.3 million. For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, cash provided by operating activities totaled $85.1 million, with free cash flow of $80.0 million. For fiscal 2017, the Company had record cash generation with cash provided by operations totaling $337.2 million and free cash flow of $313.0 million. Adjusted EBITDA, as defined by the Company, was $400.6 million.

At September 30, 2017, days sales outstanding (DSO) were 63 days, and better than the Company’s stated range of 65 to 80 days. Low DSO resulted from strong cash collections in the quarter.

On August 31, 2017, MAXIMUS paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.045 per share. On October 6, 2017, the Company announced a $0.045 per share cash dividend, payable on November 30, 2017 to shareholders of record on November 15, 2017.

For the full fiscal year, MAXIMUS repurchased approximately 558,000 shares for $28.9 million (a weighted average price of $51.73). As of September 30, 2017, the Company had $109.9 million available for repurchases under its Board-authorized share repurchase program.

Outlook

MAXIMUS is establishing fiscal 2018 guidance. The Company expects fiscal 2018 revenue to range between $2.475 billion and $2.550 billion. Approximately 94% of the Company's fiscal 2018 forecasted revenue is in the form of backlog, option periods or extensions.

For fiscal 2018, the Company expects GAAP diluted earnings per share to range between $2.95 and $3.15, which includes the detrimental impacts from new contracts in startup in the Human Services Segment. The Company estimates that these startups will have an unfavorable impact on pre-tax income of approximately $11 million to $13 million, or approximately $0.12 diluted earnings per share. Excluding this $0.12, fiscal 2018 adjusted diluted earnings per share is expected to range between $3.07 and $3.27. This compares to fiscal 2017 adjusted diluted earnings per share of $3.03. An accompanying supplemental table is included at the end of this press release.

The contracts that are in startup in fiscal 2018 have outcomes-based payments, which take time to achieve. Accordingly, no outcomes-based payments will occur in the early months of these contracts, but are expected to grow over time. Once mature, the Company expects these contracts to have a steady flow of outcomes-based payments.

For fiscal 2018, the Company has estimated its income tax rate will range between 35% and 36% and weighted average shares outstanding of approximately 66.5 million.

Richard Montoni, Chief Executive Officer of MAXIMUS, commented, "The overall results for fiscal year 2017 reflect our healthy portfolio of contracts, solid operating margins and record cash generation. The new contracts and successful rebids we achieved this fiscal year help to protect our base and provide paths to long-term growth. We believe demand for our services will continue over the long-term. The macro drivers remain robust as governments around the world seek solutions to address rising caseloads, meet the needs of aging populations, and manage social benefit programs in a cost-effective manner."

Accounting Standards Update Adopted in Fiscal Year 2017

The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-09, Stock Compensation, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting in fiscal year 2017. This standard requires companies to record the income tax benefit or expense related to the exercising of stock options and the vesting of restricted stock units (RSUs) as a reduction to the provision for income taxes. The amount of the benefit depends on the Company's stock price on the exercise or vesting date. Most of the benefit for MAXIMUS in fiscal year 2017 arose in the fourth quarter. The Company anticipates recording the effect of equity award vestings in the fourth quarter of every fiscal year.

Non-GAAP and Other Measures

This release refers to non-GAAP financial measures, including free cash flow, constant currency, days sales outstanding and adjusted EBITDA.

We have provided a reconciliation of free cash flow to cash provided by operating activities. We believe that free cash flow is a useful basis for investors to compare our performance across periods or against our competitors. Free cash flow shows the effects of the Company’s operations and routine capital expenditure and excludes the cash flow effects of acquisitions, share repurchases, dividend payments and other financing transactions.

To provide constant currency information, we calculate fiscal year 2017 revenue for all international businesses using the exchange rates used in the comparative period in fiscal year 2016. We believe constant currency provides a useful basis for assessing the performance of the business excluding the unpredictable effects of foreign exchange fluctuations.

Days sales outstanding, or DSO, is a measure of how efficiently we manage the billing and collection of our receivable balances. We calculate DSO by dividing billed and unbilled receivable balances at the end of each quarter by revenue per day for the period. Revenue per day for a quarter is determined by dividing total revenue by 91 days.

We have provided a reconciliation from net income to adjusted EBITA and adjusted EBITDA. During fiscal year 2017, we utilized our credit facility. Our credit agreement includes the defined term consolidated EBITDA and our calculation of adjusted EBITDA conforms to the credit agreement definition. We believe our investors appreciate the opportunity to understand the possible restrictions that arise from our credit agreement. Adjusted EBITDA is also a useful measure of performance that focuses on the cash generating capacity of the business as it excludes the non-cash expenses of depreciation and amortization, and makes for easier comparisons between the operating performance of companies with different capital structures by excluding interest expense and therefore the impacts of financing costs. The measure of adjusted EBITA is a step in calculating adjusted EBITDA and facilitates comparisons to similar businesses as it isolates the amortization effect of business combinations.

To assist users of our financial statements in understanding our projections for fiscal year 2018 compared to our results for 2017, we have adjusted our diluted earnings per share. Our fiscal year 2017 results include tax effects that are not anticipated to be as large in future periods. Our fiscal year 2018 projections include the detrimental impact from the startup of new contracts. In fiscal 2018, we expect the detrimental impact from these ups will be higher than those in 2017. By adjusting our diluted earnings per share totals for 2017 and 2018, we are assisting users of our financial statements in understanding the key drivers in our anticipated 2018 results compared to our 2017 results.

The presentation of these non-GAAP numbers is not meant to be considered in isolation, nor as alternatives to cash flows from operating activities, revenue growth or net income as measures of performance. These non-GAAP financial measures, as determined and presented by us, may not be comparable to related or similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

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.

(1)     FY17 GAAP diluted EPS reflects a 32.5% tax rate.
 
(2) FY18 GAAP diluted EPS reflects a 35.5% tax rate.
 
(3) FY18 diluted EPS adjustments remove forecasted detrimental impacts to operating income (ranging from $11 million to $13 million) related to contracts in startup in the U.S., U.K. and Australia.
 
(4)

FY17 diluted EPS adjustments exclude events in 2017 that will not occur to the same extent in 2018 (including research & development tax credits related to prior years and the application of ASU No. 2016-09. The tax benefit of the application of ASU No. 2016-09 is much higher in 2017 than it is anticipated to be in 2018). The $0.14 benefit is calculated by using the estimated $10 million in tax savings, divided by the weighted average shares outstanding at September 30, 2017.
