Key Terms

adjusted ebitda margin financial

Adjusted EBITDA margin shows how much profit a company makes from its core operations, expressed as a percentage of its total revenue, after removing certain one-time or unusual expenses and income. It helps investors understand the company's true earning ability from regular business activities, making it easier to compare performance over time or with other companies. Think of it as measuring the efficiency of a business in turning sales into profits, excluding irregular adjustments.

free cash flow financial

Free cash flow is the amount of money a company has left over after paying all its expenses and investing in its business, like buying equipment or updating facilities. It shows how much cash is available to reward shareholders, pay down debt, or save for future growth. This helps investors understand if a company is financially healthy and able to grow.

dso financial

Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) measures how long, on average, a company takes to collect payment after making a sale. Think of it as the number of days cash is tied up in unpaid invoices: a higher DSO is like waiting longer to be paid and can signal cash flow stress, while a lower DSO means faster collections and healthier working capital—important for assessing liquidity and operational efficiency.

Raises earnings outlook and announces $400 million share repurchase program

TYSONS, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Maximus (NYSE: MMS), a leading provider of government services, reported financial results for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026.

Highlights for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026 include:

Revenue of $1.31 billion was consistent with our full fiscal year 2026 expectations, and compares to $1.36 billion for the prior year period.
Diluted earnings per share were $1.80 and adjusted diluted earnings per share were $2.07, compared to $1.69 and $2.01, respectively, for the prior year period.
We are raising our adjusted EBITDA margin expectation by 20 basis points to approximately 14.2% and raising our adjusted diluted earnings per share expectation by $0.20 to range between $8.25 and $8.55 per share for the full fiscal year 2026. We are reiterating previous fiscal year 2026 revenue and free cash flow guidance.
Repurchases of Maximus common stock in the quarter totaled 1.4 million shares for $111 million, with an additional 0.6 million shares totaling $39.9 million repurchased through May 1, 2026.
The Board of Directors authorized a refresh to the repurchase program for Maximus common stock up to an aggregate of $400 million.
A quarterly cash dividend of $0.33 per share is payable on June 1, 2026, to shareholders of record on May 15, 2026.

"Our second consecutive earnings guidance increase reflects growing confidence in our ability to leverage in-house AI and other technology capabilities to improve efficiency and support margin expansion. We continue to execute our capital deployment strategy, as highlighted by the refresh of our share repurchase authorization up to an aggregate of $400 million," said Bruce Caswell, President and Chief Executive Officer.

Caswell continued, "Our state customers are gaining clarity and beginning to take action to help address challenges with Medicaid community engagement, SNAP administration, and unemployment insurance support services. We’re pleased to be playing a role in devising these solutions and expect momentum to continue to build."

Second Quarter Results

Revenue for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026 was $1.31 billion and on track with full fiscal year 2026 expectations. Prior year period revenue was $1.36 billion and benefited from natural disaster support work and temporary clinical volume surges in both domestic segments.

For the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, operating margin was 11.4% and adjusted EBITDA margin was 14.4%. This compares to margins of 11.2% and 13.7%, respectively, for the prior year period. Diluted earnings per share were $1.80, and adjusted diluted earnings per share were $2.07. This compares to $1.69 and $2.01, respectively, for the prior year period.

Consolidated earnings improved over the prior year period primarily due to efficiency gains through automation, including AI-enabled tools, across multiple program areas. The second quarter of fiscal year 2026 included a non-cash impairment charge that decreased the U.S. Services segment's operating income by $6.9 million, or $0.09 per share, and a discrete research & development tax benefit that reduced the income tax expense by $4.2 million, which equated to a $0.08 per share benefit. Both non-recurring items were excluded from adjusted EBITDA and had offsetting impacts on adjusted diluted earnings per share.

U.S. Federal Services Segment

U.S. Federal Services Segment revenue for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026 was $753 million. Prior year period revenue was $778 million and benefited from natural disaster support. We anticipated the absence of this work in our fiscal year 2026 guidance, and, excluding this support work, segment organic revenue growth was 1.5% over the prior year period.

The segment operating margin for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026 was 17.6%, compared to 15.3% reported for the prior year period. Technology initiatives, including automation that enables greater volume processing without a commensurate increase in labor costs, were the primary driver of the improved margin and the increase to the segment’s full fiscal year margin expectation. The full fiscal year 2026 operating margin for the U.S. Federal Services Segment is expected to be approximately 17.5%.

U.S. Services Segment

U.S. Services Segment revenue for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026 was $416 million and on track to improve segment revenue growth anticipated by the end of the fiscal year. The prior year period segment revenue was $442 million.

The segment operating margin for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026 was 9.3%, or 10.9% excluding the $6.9 million non-cash charge related to an asset impairment. The prior year period segment operating margin was 12.2%. The full fiscal year 2026 operating margin for the U.S. Services Segment is expected to be approximately 10.0% as a result of the non-cash charge this quarter.

Outside the U.S. Segment

Outside the U.S. Segment revenue for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026 was $137 million, compared to $142 million in the prior year period. Following previous reshaping actions, the segment now comprises the United Kingdom, Canada, and the Gulf Region, all of which are tracking opportunities that we believe have the potential to drive future growth.

The segment realized an operating loss of $3.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, compared to an operating profit of $4.8 million in the prior year period. We continue to anticipate future margin improvement over time in this segment, which is now expected to break even on a full fiscal year 2026 basis.

Sales and Pipeline

Year-to-date signed contract awards at March 31, 2026, totaled $913 million, and contracts pending (awarded but unsigned) totaled $322 million.

The sales pipeline at March 31, 2026, totaled $56.8 billion, comprised of approximately $4.55 billion in proposals pending, $1.48 billion in proposals in preparation, and $50.7 billion in opportunities we are tracking. New work opportunities represent approximately 59% of the total sales pipeline, and U.S. Federal Services Segment opportunities represent approximately 58% of the total sales pipeline.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flows

At March 31, 2026, unrestricted cash and cash equivalents totaled $157 million, and gross debt was $1.55 billion. The ratio of debt, net of allowed cash, to consolidated EBITDA for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, as calculated on a trailing twelve-month basis in accordance with our credit agreement, was 1.8x. This is unchanged from the ratio at December 31, 2025, and remains below our target net leverage ratio of 2x to 3x.

For the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, cash provided by operating activities totaled $190 million, and free cash flow was $179 million. DSO were 78 days at March 31, 2026, and unchanged from the DSO at December 31, 2025. We expect collections to increase in the second half of fiscal year 2026, which supports our full-year free cash flow guidance.

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, we purchased approximately 1.4 million shares of Maximus common stock totaling $111 million. Subsequent to March 31, 2026, and through May 1, 2026, we purchased an additional 0.6 million shares totaling $39.9 million. The Board of Directors authorized a refresh to the repurchase program for Maximus common stock up to an aggregate of $400 million, which becomes effective May 11, 2026.

On April 6, 2026, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.33 for each share of our common stock outstanding. The dividend is payable on June 1, 2026, to shareholders of record on May 15, 2026.

Fiscal Year 2026 Earnings Guidance Raise

Maximus is raising fiscal year 2026 earnings guidance and reiterating revenue and free cash flow guidance.

The full year adjusted EBITDA margin guidance improves by 20 basis points to approximately 14.2%, as compared to prior guidance. Guidance for adjusted diluted earnings per share increases by $0.20 and is now expected to range between $8.25 and $8.55 per share for fiscal year 2026.

Revenue guidance is maintained between $5.2 billion and $5.35 billion, and free cash flow guidance is maintained between $450 million and $500 million for fiscal year 2026. Interest expense is estimated to be $84 million, and the full fiscal year tax rate is expected to range between 24.0% and 25.0% for fiscal year 2026.
