Maximus reported robust financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2025, ended June 30, 2025. Revenue for the quarter increased 2.5% to $1.35 billion, with organic growth of 4.3%, primarily driven by the U.S. Federal Services Segment. The company's adjusted diluted earnings per share (EPS) for Q3 FY25 was $2.16, a significant increase from $1.74 in the prior year period. Operating margin reached 12.3% and adjusted EBITDA margin was 14.7%, reflecting strong profitability. Maximus raised its fiscal year 2025 guidance for the third consecutive time. Revenue is now projected to be between $5.375 billion and $5.475 billion, an increase of $100 million at the midpoint. Adjusted diluted EPS guidance was significantly raised by $1.00 at the midpoint to a new range of $7.35 to $7.55 per share, and the adjusted EBITDA margin improved by 130 basis points to approximately 13%. The U.S. Federal Services Segment continued its exceptional performance, with revenue increasing 11.4% to $761.2 million and an operating margin of 18.1%, benefiting from elevated volumes in clinical programs. The full-year operating margin for this segment is now expected to be approximately 15%. Cash used in operating activities totaled $182.7 million, resulting in a free cash flow outflow of $198.2 million, primarily due to payment delays on two large programs, which caused Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) to peak at 96 days. However, collections have improved substantially post-quarter, leading to an increase in full-year free cash flow guidance to a range of $370 million to $390 million. The net leverage ratio stood at 2.1x, at the low end of the target range. The content on BeyondSPX is for informational purposes only and should not be construed as financial or investment advice.
