On September 30, 2013, MAXIMUS, Inc. was notified that its MAXIMUS Federal Services subsidiary was awarded a contract by the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Federal Student Aid (FSA), to provide program management for the Debt Management and Collections System (DMCS). The contract is expected to have a two-year base period with eight one-year option periods. Based on estimated volumes, the total contract value is expected to be approximately $835 million if all options are exercised.   

Under the contract, MAXIMUS will provide a wide range of administrative business functions including an in-bound customer contact center to respond to inquiries from borrowers and various third parties. The Company’s comprehensive solution also includes the operation of an intake facility for correspondence, collateral and other hard-copy materials, a correspondence unit to respond to borrowers’ inquiries, a financial transaction processing center, and a mail fulfillment center.

MAXIMUS currently expects that in its fiscal year ending September 30, 2014, this contract will contribute approximately $45 million in revenue and that operating profit will be slightly negative to breakeven. The Company is maintaining its preliminary fiscal 2014 guidance. MAXIMUS still expects fiscal 2014 revenue to range between $1.555 billion and $1.650 billion and diluted earnings per share to range between $1.75 and $1.85
