Item 8.01 |
Other Events. |
On July 25, 2014, Health Management Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MAXIMUS in the United Kingdom, signed a contract to operate the new Health and Work Service program on behalf of the United Kingdom’s Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). The 63-month contract will begin on August 1, 2014 and will run through October 31, 2019. Based on estimated volumes, the Company expects a total contract value of up to approximately £133 million ($226 million USD). Due to the ramp-up and transaction-based nature of the program, MAXIMUS expects the contract will contribute approximately $10 million in revenue with start-up losses in its fiscal 2015. The contract is expected to be profitable in the Company’s fiscal year 2016. MAXIMUS plans to issue formal guidance for fiscal 2015 when the Company reports its fourth quarter and year-end financial results in November 2014.
On July 25, 2014, the Company issued a press release regarding this contract award. A copy of that press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
