Highlights for the second quarter of fiscal year 2024 include: Revenue increased 11.7% to $1.35 billion, compared to $1.21 billion for the prior year period. Organic growth was 12.6% and driven by expanded programs in the domestic segments and resumed Medicaid-related activities. Diluted earnings per share were $1.31, and adjusted diluted earnings per share were $1.57, compared to $0.52 and $0.81, respectively, for the prior year period. The company is raising guidance for fiscal year 2024.

"For the second consecutive quarter, we are able to raise guidance that reflects our confidence in the earnings power of the business," said Bruce Caswell, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We are focused on driving future growth through continued, excellent operational execution coupled with innovative technology solutions to drive long-term shareholder value." Second Quarter Results Revenue for the second quarter of fiscal year 2024 increased 11.7% to $1.35 billion, compared to $1.21 billion for the prior year period. Organic growth was 12.6%, driven by a combination of expanded programs in the U.S. Federal Services Segment, such as the Veterans Affairs (VA) Medical Disability Exams (MDE) contracts, as well as expanded and resumed programs in the U.S. Services Segment, such as assessment work and Medicaid-related programs, respectively. For the second quarter of fiscal year 2024, operating margin was 9.5% and the adjusted operating margin was 11.1%. This compares to margins of 5.2% and 7.2%, respectively, for the prior year period. Diluted earnings per share were $1.31 and adjusted diluted earnings per share were $1.57. This compares to $0.52 and $0.81, respectively, for the prior year period. The strength of this quarter's earnings came from an aggregation of multiple areas across the domestic segments. U.S. Federal Services Segment U.S. Federal Services Segment revenue for the second quarter of fiscal year 2024 increased 20.1% to $701.7 million, compared to $584.1 million reported for the prior year period. All growth was organic and driven by volume growth on expanded programs, including the VA MDE contracts, which comprise the Veterans Evaluation Services (VES) business. The segment operating margin for the second quarter of fiscal year 2024 was 11.9%, compared to 8.2% reported for the prior year, and results this quarter slightly beat expectations due primarily to the VA MDE contracts exceeding their production goal. The full-year fiscal 2024 margin for the U.S. Federal Services Segment is now expected to be approximately 12%. U.S. Services Segment U.S. Services Segment revenue for the second quarter of fiscal year 2024 increased 8.1% to $486.1 million, compared to $449.7 million reported in the prior year period. All growth was organic and driven by expanded programs, including assessment services and revenue from resumed programs related to the commencement of Medicaid redeterminations. The segment operating margin for the second quarter of fiscal year 2024 was 14.0%, compared to 9.5% reported for the prior year, which had been impacted by the pause to Medicaid redeterminations. Results this quarter are anticipated to represent a peak for segment profitability and tied to extra volumes from performing redetermination work. The U.S. Services Segment's margin outlook across all periods in fiscal year 2024 has improved, with a full-year margin expected of approximately 13% and in the middle of the segment's 11% to 14% long-term operating margin target. Outside the U.S. Segment Outside the U.S. Segment revenue for the second quarter of fiscal year 2024 decreased 7.2% to $160.5 million, compared to $173.1 million reported in the prior year period. The divestiture of businesses in the prior fiscal year reduced revenue by 8.2%, currency was a benefit of 1.8%, and organic growth was flat. The segment realized an operating profit of $0.7 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 2024, compared to an operating loss of $3.7 million in the prior year period. With some recent stability in the segment, the company remains focused this fiscal year on shaping the Outside the U.S. Segment to be aligned strategically with the rest of the business and deliver consistent profitability. Sales and Pipeline Year-to-date signed contract awards at March 31, 2024, totaled $568 million, and contracts pending (awarded but unsigned) totaled $797 million. The book-to-bill ratio at March 31, 2024, was 1.1x calculated on a trailing twelve-month basis. The sales pipeline at March 31, 2024, totaled $37.8 billion, comprised of approximately $1.31 billion in proposals pending, $987 million in proposals in preparation, and $35.5 billion in opportunities tracking. New work opportunities represent approximately 75% of the total sales pipeline. Balance Sheet and Cash Flows At March 31, 2024, cash and cash equivalents totaled $77.4 million, and gross debt was $1.22 billion. The ratio of debt, net of allowed cash, to EBITDA for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, as calculated in accordance with the company's credit agreement, was 1.7x.

Raising FY24 Guidance Maximus is raising fiscal year 2024 guidance following second quarter results and an improved outlook for the remainder of the fiscal year. Revenue is now expected to range between $5.15 billion and $5.25 billion, representing an increase of $75 million from prior guidance at the midpoint.
