MAXIMUS, Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Three and Six Months Ended March 31, 20192020 and 2018 2019

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. As permitted by these instructions, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019,2020, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year. The balance sheet at September 30, 2018,2019, has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.
CertainThese financial results have been reclassified to conformstatements should be read in conjunction with our current period presentation.
Ourthe consolidated statement of cash flows foraudited financial statements and the six months ended March 31, 2018, includes a reclassification to reflect the effect of new accounting guidance.
Our consolidated balance sheetnotes thereto at September 30, 2019 and 2018, includes a reclassification to show a comparative balanceand for currenteach of the three years ended September 30, 2019, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K which was filed with the Securities and long-term debt, which were previously reported within "other liabilities."Exchange Commission on November 26, 2019.
Estimates
The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses. On an ongoing basis,At each reporting period end, we evaluate ourmake estimates including those related to revenue recognition and cost estimation on certain contracts, the realizability of goodwill and amounts related to income taxes, certain accrued liabilities and contingencies and litigation.
We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptionsexpectations of the future that are believedwe believe to be reasonable underreasonable. The economic and political impacts of the circumstances,COVID-19 pandemic increases uncertainty, which has reduced our ability to use past results to estimate future performance. Accordingly, our estimates may be subject to greater volatility than has been the resultscase in the past.
Our balance sheet includes goodwill valued at $585.8 million. This balance is allocated between reporting units, which are consistent with our 3 operating segments. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment when necessary and no less than once per year. We performed our last annual goodwill impairment test as of which formJuly 1, 2019. As of July 1, 2019, none of our reporting units showed any signs of impairment and all held a fair value estimated to be at least twice as high as their carrying value. We continue to monitor the basis for making judgments aboutfair value of our reporting units and, at this time, we do not believe any goodwill impairment has occurred. This is based upon a number of factors, including the long-term viability of our business and the creditworthiness of our customer base.
Our balance sheet includes a number of long-lived assets, including property and equipment, capitalized software, operating lease right-of-use assets, deferred contract costs and intangible assets. These assets are depreciated or amortized over their estimated useful economic lives but are subject to impairment if events indicate that the carrying valuesamount may not be recoverable. At this time, there are no significant balances which we believe are not recoverable.
Our balance sheet includes $650.1 million of assetsbilled, billable and liabilities. Actual results could differ fromunbilled accounts receivable, net of reserves. We regularly evaluate this balance for recoverability and reserve those estimates.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction withbalances where we no longer believe that collection is probable. Bad debt expense has not historically been significant to our business due to the consolidated audited financial statements and the notes thereto at September 30, 2018 and 2017, and for eachnature of our customers. During the three yearsmonths ended September 30, 2018, includedMarch 31, 2020, we recorded bad debt expense of $7.8 million. We have reserved balances against customers who we believe are experiencing difficulties during the COVID-19 pandemic and may not be able to reimburse us for work performed.
As disclosed in "Note 4. Revenue Recognition", revenue for some our Annual Report on Form 10-K which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 20, 2018.
Changes in financial reporting
Segments
As previously reported, effective October 1, 2018, our Chief Executive Officer reorganized our reporting segments based on the way that management intends to allocate resources, manage performance and evaluate results. This reorganization of segments responds to recent changeswelfare-to-work contracts in the markets in which we operate,Outside the increasing integration of health and human services programs worldwide and the evolving needs of our government clients as they aim to deliver services in a more holistic manner to their citizens. Our results for the three and six months ended March 31, 2018, were recast to conform with these new segments. See "Note 2.U.S. Segment Information" for more details of this change.
Revenue recognition
We adopted Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) on October 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method and, accordingly, we recognized the cumulative effect of adoption as an adjustment of $32.9 million to our opening retained earnings balance on October 1, 2018. We applied this standard only to contracts that had not been completed as of the date of adoption. For contracts that had been modified prior to October 1, 2018, we calculated the cumulative effect of Topic 606 on each contractis based upon achievement of future outcomes as defined in each contract. Specifically, we are paid as individuals attain employment goals, which may take many months to achieve. Revenue is recognized on these contracts over the aggregate effectperiod of all of the modifications at that date.performance. Employment markets worldwide

Topic 606 applieshave suffered a significant shock during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and many employment opportunities have been terminated or are no longer available. While we expect the volume of new program participants to allincrease as a result of disruption to employment markets, we believe that our program outcomes for program participants as of March 31, 2020 have been disrupted. Accordingly, we have adjusted revenue and the related unbilled receivables recorded in prior periods. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we recorded adjustments of approximately $24 million to revenue from changes in estimates to our welfare-to-work contracts. This reduced our net income and diluted earnings per share by approximately $18 million and $0.28, respectively.
Many of our contracts with customers and supersedes all previous standards on revenue recognition. In adopting Topic 606,in the United States are cost-plus contracts, where we are requiredreimbursed for costs that are allowable, allocable and reasonable. Due to follow a five-step process in orderthe COVID-19 pandemic, we are incurring incremental and unusual costs, including additional sick pay and idle labor for employees who are unable to identify and recognize revenue based upon a principle that revenue should be recognized as goods andperform services are transferreddue to customers in amounts that reflecttheir health issues, child care issues or physical restrictions imposed on their workplace. Although the consideration toU.S. Federal Government, which we expect to be entitled for those goods and services. It did not change the actual amount of revenue being recognized forprovides the majority of our cost-plus contracts, but did change the methodology by which we identified that revenue.has provided regular guidance, there is some uncertainty within other contracts as to recoverable costs.
In
Changes in financial reporting
Leases
Effective October 1, 2019, we adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The new standard requires that assets and liabilities arising under leases be recognized on the most significant change underbalance sheet, except for those with an initial term of less than 12 months. We adopted this standard using a modified retrospective approach. Accordingly, we did not recast prior period financial information. Certain elections were made in adopting the standard.
We elected to use the package of practical expedients which, among other things, allows us to not reassess historical lease classification.
We do not separate lease and non-lease components for all classes of leases, which allows us to account for a lease as a single component.
We used the optional transition method, which did not require us to recast our comparative periods.
We did not use the hindsight practical expedients, which would have allowed us to use hindsight in determining the reasonably certain lease term.
We did not adjust our accounting for leases with an initial term of twelve months or less.

Upon adopting Topic 606,842, we recognized a lease liability of $214.5 million, reflecting the present value of the future remaining minimum lease payments. Changes to our opening balance sheet are requiredsummarized below. There was no cumulative impact to estimateour retained earnings and recognize revenue on contracts over the period where we provide a service. This affects contracts where performance outcomes are achieved over time, most notably for welfare-to-work contracts where we are compensated for placing individualschanges did not cause any material changes in sustained employment. Under our former methodologystatements of recognizing revenue, we deferred recognizing this outcome-based revenue until the outcome was achieved. Under Topic 606, we estimateoperations or our anticipated future fees and recognize them over the expected periodstatements of performance. As a result, more judgments and estimates are required within the process of recognizing revenue than were required under the former methodology.

Additional information and disclosures relating to this change are included within "Note 3. Revenue recognition.Leases."
Statement of cash flows
We adopted ASU No. 2016-15 Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments and ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash on October 1, 2018, using the retrospective method. The most notable change relates to the treatment of balances we consider to be "restricted cash." Restricted cash represents funds which are held in our bank accounts but which we are precluded from using for general business needs through contractual requirements; these requirements include serving as collateral for lease, credit card or letter of credit arrangements or where we hold funds on behalf of clients. As we did not consider these restricted cash balances to be cash or cash equivalents, we did not previously include them within our cash flow statement except where restrictions over cash were imposed or lapsed. Beginning  on October 1, 2018, we are required to include movements in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash within our consolidated statements of cash flows.
Accordingly, we have presented our consolidated statement of cash flows using the new rules for all periods shown. Our balances for cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash are as follows:
Balance as of
(dollars in thousands)March 31, 2019September 30, 2018March 31, 2018September 30, 2017

3. Leases

Beginning October 1, 2019, we identify contracts which are, or contain, leases where a contract allows us the right to control identified property or equipment for a period of time in return for consideration. Our leases are typically for office space or facilities, as well as some equipment leases. Where contracts include both lease and non-lease components, we do not typically separate the non-lease components in our accounting.
At the inception of a lease, we recognize a liability for future minimum lease payments based upon the present value of those payments.
In identifying our future minimum lease payments, we do not include variable lease costs, such as those for maintenance or utilities. These are recorded as lease expenses in the period in which they are incurred.
In identifying future lease payments, we do not include short-term leases, identified as those with an initial term of twelve months or less.
Lease options are included within our lease liability only where it is reasonably certain that we will utilize those periods of the lease and incur the related costs.
In calculating the fair value of our lease liability, we utilize an estimate of our collateralized incremental borrowing rate. This estimate is based upon publicly-available information adjusted for company-specific, country-specific and lease-specific factors. The weighted average incremental borrowing rate utilized at March 31, 2020, is 3.7%.
Over the course of a lease, the lease liability is reduced as scheduled lease payments are made and increased as the implied interest charges are added.
Our right-of-use asset is based upon the lease liability at the contract inception but is adjusted over the life of the lease by lease prepayments, additional costs or lease incentives. The right-of-use asset is amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, offset by the interest accretion recorded on the lease liability.
Lease expense is recorded within our consolidated statements of operations based upon the nature of the assets. Where assets are used to directly serve our customers, such as facilities dedicated to customer contracts, lease costs are recorded in "cost of revenue." Facilities and assets which serve management and support functions are expensed through "selling, general and administrative expenses." Costs recorded in the three and six months ended March 31, 2020, are summarized below.

Our weighted average remaining lease term at March 31, 2020 is 3.0 years.
For the six months ended March 31, 2020, we made cash payments of $55.9 million for amounts included in our lease liabilities. New or amended leases resulted in additional right-of-use assets of $24.7 million.

4. Revenue Recognition

Beginning October 1, 2018, we recognize revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. We adopted this standard on October 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method; accordingly, only periods after October 1, 2018, utilize ASC Topic 606.
Under ASC Topic 606, we recognize revenue as, or when, we satisfy performance obligations under a contract. We account for a contract when the parties have approved the contract and are committed to perform on it, the rights of each party and the payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and it is probable that we will collect substantially all of the consideration. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service, or a series of distinct goods or services, to a customer. The transaction price of a contract must be allocated to each performance obligation and recognized as the performance obligation is satisfied.
Although our services may have many components, these components are not necessarily distinct performance obligations as they may be interdependent on or interrelated to each other. Where our contracts contain more than one performance obligation, we allocate the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation using our best estimate of the standalone selling price of each component. This method will vary from contract to contract. Where available, we utilize standalone selling prices of similar components. If this information is unavailable, we utilize a suitable metric to allocate selling price, such as costs incurred.
The majority of our contracts have performance obligations which are satisfied over time. In most cases, we view our performance obligations as promises to transfer a series of distinct services to our customer that are substantially the same and which have the same pattern of service. We recognize revenue over the performance period as a customer receives the benefits of our services. This continuous transfer of control is supported by the unilateral right of many of our customers to terminate contracts for convenience, without having to provide justification for this decision. Where we are reimbursed on a cost-plus basis, we recognize revenue based upon our costs incurred to date; where we are reimbursed on a fixed price basis, we recognize revenue based upon an appropriate output measure which may be time elapsed or another measure within the contract. When we have variable fees, such as revenue related to the volume of work or award fees, we allocate that revenue to the distinct periods of service to which they relate. In estimating our variable fees, we are required to constrain our estimates to the extent that it is probable that there will not be a significant reversal of cumulative revenue when the uncertainty is resolved.
Other performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time, rather than over time. We recognize revenue only when the customer has received control over the goods provided. Revenue recognition on these performance obligations does not require a significant level of judgment or estimation.
Where we have contract modifications, these are reviewed to determine whether they should be accounted for as part of the original performance obligation or as a separate contract. Where the modification changes the scope or price and the additional performance obligations are at their standalone selling price, these services are considered as a separate contract. Where there is a modification and the additional performance obligations are not at their standalone selling price, we consider whether those performance obligations are distinct from those already delivered. If services are distinct from those already provided, the contract is accounted for prospectively, as though the original contract had been terminated and a new arrangement entered into. Where the modification includes goods or services which are not distinct from those already provided, we record a cumulative adjustment to revenue based upon a remeasurement of progress towards the complete satisfaction of performance obligations not yet fully delivered.

Disaggregation of revenue
In addition to our segment reporting, we disaggregate our revenues by product,service, contract type, customer type and geography. Our operating segments represent the manner in which our Chief Executive Officer reviews our financial results which is further discussed in "Note 2. Segment information."

Contract balances
Differences in timing between revenue recognition and cash collection result in contract assets and contract liabilities. We classify these assets as accounts receivable — billed and billable and unbilled receivables andreceivables; the liabilities are classified as deferred revenue.
In many contracts, we bill our customers on a monthly basis shortly after the month end for work performed in that month. Funds are considered collectible and are included within accounts receivable — billed and billable.
Exceptions to this pattern will arise for various reasons, including those listed below.
Under cost-plus contracts, we are typically required to estimate a contract’s share of our general and administrative expenses. This share is based upon estimates of total costs which may vary over time. We typically invoice our customers at an agreed provisional billing rate which willmay differ from actual rates incurred. If our actual rates are higher than the provisional billing rates, an asset is recorded for this variance; if the provisional billing rate is rates are higher than our actual rate,rates, we record a liability.
Certain contracts include retainage balances, whereby revenue is earned but cash payments are held back by the customer for a period of time, typically to allow the customer to evaluateconfirm the quality of our performance.
In certain contracts, notably our welfare-to-work contracts, we earn revenue from program participants achieving outcomes suchobjective criteria laid out by the contract have been met. This balance is classified as sustained employment for periods up to 24 months. This revenue may only be invoiced at the conclusion of this period of performance. Since we are required to recognize revenue over the period where the customer receives the benefit, we record anaccounts receivable - unbilled receivable.until restrictions on billing have been lifted.
14


In certain contracts, we may receive funds from our customers prior to performing operations. These funds are typically referred to as “set-up costs” and reflect the need for us to make investments in infrastructure prior to providing a service. This investment in infrastructure is not a performance obligation which is distinct from the service that is subsequently provided and, as a result, revenue is not recognized based upon the
13


establishment of this infrastructure, but rather over the course of the contractual relationship. The funds are initially recorded as deferred revenue and recognized over the term of the contract. Other contracts may not include set-up fees but will provide higher fees in earlier periods of the contract. The premium on these fees is deferred.
Some of our contracts, notably our welfare-to-work contracts in the Outside the U.S. Segment, include payments for outcomes, such as job retention, which occur over several months. We are required to estimate these outcome fees ahead of their realization and recognize this estimated fee over the period of delivery.
DuringOf our revenue for the three and the six months ended March 31, 2020, approximately $22.1 million and $40.1 million were from cash payments made to us prior to October 1, 2019. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2019, we recognized revenue of $10.2 million and $32.0 million included in our deferred revenue balances at September 30,from payments made prior to October 1, 2018. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we recognized $23.0 million included in our deferred revenue at December 31, 2018.
Contract estimates
We are required to use estimates in recognizing certain revenue. Our most significantrevenue from some of our contracts. As discussed in "Note 1. Organization and Basis of Presentation", the calculation of these estimates relate to:has been complicated by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has reduced our ability to use past results to estimate future performance.
Our welfare-to workSome of our performance-based contract revenue is recognized based upon future outcomes defined in each contract. This is the case in many of our welfare-to-work contracts in the Outside the U.S. Segment, where we estimate our future variable consideration by estimatingare paid as individuals attain employment goals, which may take many months to achieve. We recognize revenue on these contracts over the volumeperiod of performance. Our estimates vary from contract to contract but may include estimates of the number of participants, the length of the contract and timing of our caseloadthe participants reaching employment milestones;milestones. We are required to estimate these outcome fees ahead of their realization and recognize this estimated fee over the period of delivery. In almost all of the jurisdictions in which we operate, the employment markets have experienced significant changes due to the COVID-19 pandemic. For our existing program participants, many employment opportunities have been terminated or are no longer available. Our volume of new program participants is expected to increase but it is unclear as to when these populations will be in a position to seek employment in many industries which have been curtailed by the COVID-19 pandemic. In some cases, we anticipate that we may be unable to place individuals in employment in the short-term.
Our transaction-basedOther performance-based contracts with future outcomes include those where we provide a significantrecognize an average effective rate per participant based upon the total volume of expected participants. In this instance, we are required to estimate the amount of discount applied to our customer in future periods, where we must calculate andetermine the average rate of revenue per transactionparticipant. Our revised estimates of participant numbers are based upon our updated evaluation of probable future volumes. We are required to use estimates of the total revenue and anticipated volume of work from the contract; and
Our cost-plus contracts, which require us to prepare an estimate of our indirect costs which are allocated to our contracts.in recognizing certain revenue.
Where we have changes to our estimates, these are recognized on a cumulative catch-up basis. In fiscal yearthe three and six months ended March 31, 2020, we reported reductions in revenue of $6.3 million and $7.7 million from changes in estimates as of September 30, 2019. In the three and six months ended March 31, 2019, ourwe reported reductions in revenue included a reduction of $6.5 million and $8.0 million, respectively, from changes in estimates.
Deferred contract costs
For many contracts, we incur significant incremental costs at the beginning of an arrangement. Typically, these costs relate to the establishment of infrastructure which we utilize to satisfy our performance obligations with the contract. We report these costs as deferred contract costs and amortize them on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the useful economic life of the asset or the anticipated term of the contract.
Since September 30, 2018, we have deferred $8.2 million of costs. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2019, we amortized $1.5 million and $2.8 million of deferred contract costs.

Remaining performance obligations
At March 31, 2019,2020, we had approximately $409$270 million of remaining performance obligations. We anticipate that we will recognize revenue on approximately 50%55% of this balance within the next twelve12 months. This balance excludes contracts with an original duration of twelve months or less, including contracts with a penalty-free termination for convenience clause, and any variable consideration which is allocated entirely to future performance obligations including variable transaction fees or fees tied directly to costs incurred.

There were no antidilutive awards in the three and six months ended March 31, 2019.

6. Acquisitions

5. Acquisition of Citizen Engagement Centers Business
On November 16, 2018, we acquired General Dynamics Information Technology's citizen engagement centers business pursuant to an asset purchase agreement dated October 5, 2018. The assets acquired included existing contracts, contractual relationships and bids for contracts submitted prior to the acquisition date, as well as interests in leased properties, fixed assets, working capital and intangible assets.$430.7 million. This acquisition strengthens our position in the administration of federal government programs. Thisprograms and the business has beenwas integrated into our U.S. Federal Services Segment. The contract provides for a purchase price of $400.0 million adjusted for the net working capital in excess of or less than an agreed upon target representing an estimate of normalized net working capital. The estimated working capital balance at November 16, 2018, was higher than this estimate and, accordingly, we incurred an estimated purchase price of $430.6 million. We anticipate finalizing the purchase price during the third quarter of fiscal year 2019. To fund the acquisition, we utilized $150 million of borrowings fromcompleted our credit facility with the balance from our cash on our balance sheet.
As part of the acquisition, we incurred acquisition-related expenses, including legal, accounting and other consultant services. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018, we incurred $0.5 million of such costs; during the six months ended March 31, 2019, we incurred an additional $2.7 million. We also incurred additional investing cash outflows of $4.5 million from the acquisition of software licenses needed for newly-acquired employees.
We considered this transaction to be an acquisition of a business. At this time, we are in the process of finalizing our valuation of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, including our analysis of the value of the intangible assets acquired and the tax effects of the acquisition. In addition, we continue to look for potential assets or liabilities which existed at the acquisition date. Our current estimate of the allocation of the purchase price updated from December 31, 2018, is shown below.to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in September 2019, including goodwill of $184.6 million and intangible assets of $122.3 million.

The fair valueOn August 16, 2019, we acquired 100% of the goodwill is estimatedshare capital of GT Hiring Solutions (2005) Inc. (GT Hiring) for $6.2 million (8.2 million Canadian Dollars). GT Hiring provides employment services in British Columbia. We acquired GT Hiring to be $188.1 million. This goodwill representsenhance the valuereach and capabilities of the assembled workforceour Canadian employment services and, accordingly, the enhanced knowledge, capabilities and qualifications held by the business. This goodwill balance is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

The fair value of the intangible assets acquired is estimated to be $122.3 million, representing customer relationships. We have assumed a useful economic life of ten years for most contracts, representing our expectation of the period over which we will receive the benefit. Typically, our customer relationships are based upon the provision of services to our customers on a daily or monthly basis and, although contracts are frequently rebid, we believe that an incumbent provider typically enjoys significant competitive advantages. In reviewing the contract portfolio, we allocated a shorter life to a contract which pertains to the United States decennial census. This contract requires managing a significant ramp-up and ramp-down of work over the census cycle. As much of the benefit from this contract is anticipated to occur within the next two years, we have utilized a shorter asset life for this customer relationship. The average weighted intangible asset life is 7.6 years and amortization will be recorded on a straight-line basis.

From 2004 through 2009, we had a contract with the state agency in support of its school-based Medicaid claims. We entered into separate agreements with the school districts under which we assisted the districts with preparing and submitting claims to the state Medicaid agency which, in turn, submitted claims for reimbursement to CMS. The state has asserted that its agreement with us requires us to reimburse the state for the amounts owed to CMS. However, our agreements with the school districts require them to reimburse us for such amounts, and therefore we believe the school districts are responsible for any amounts that ultimately must be refunded to CMS.

The state contested the first disallowance of approximately $12 million in U.S. District Court. In February 2020, the District Court upheld that disallowance, and the state has appealed the case to the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The second disallowance of approximately $19 million is still pending at the U.S. Health and Human Services Departmental Appeals Board. No legal action has been initiated against us.

8. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. The new standard requires that assets and liabilities arising under leases be recognized on the balance sheet. The standard also requires additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures that provide the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows relatingus with respect to lease arrangements. This standard is effective for us on October 1, 2019. We will adopt this standard using a modified retrospective approach. This approach also provides practical expedients related to leases that commenced prior to the effective date and allows the use of hindsight when evaluating lease options. We expect that upon adoption we will recognize a material right-of-use asset and lease liability on our balance sheet. We do not expect the standard to have a material impact on our cash flows or results of operations.either disallowance.

Item 2.                  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is provided to enhance the understanding of, and should be read in conjunction with, our Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes included both herein and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2018,2019, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 20, 2018.26, 2019.

Business Overview
We are a leading operator of government health and human services programs worldwide. We act asare a responsible and reliable contracting partner to governments under our mission of Helping Government Serve the People®. Governments rely on our financial stability and proven expertise in helping people connect and use critical government programs. We use our experience, business process management expertise, innovation and technology solutions to help government agencies run effective, efficient and accountable programs.
Our company was founded in 1975 and grew both organically and through acquisitions during the early 2000s. Beginning in 2006, we narrowed our service offeringsprimary portfolio of work is tied to focus in the area of business process services (BPS) primarily in the health services and human services markets. In parallel, we divested or exited a number of non-core businesses that fell outside these two areas. Our subsequent growth over the last decade was driven by new work, such as that from the expansion of our health services business around the globe, new welfare-to-work contracts outsideAffordable Care Act (ACA) in the United States and a growing footprint in clinical services including assessments, appeals and independent medical reviews in multiple geographies, as well as acquisitions in the United States and 
United Kingdom.
COVID-19 pandemic
We have been and continue to be negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The dynamic nature of the circumstances increases the difficulty of predicting the scale of disruption from COVID-19 or how deep and severe the economic consequences will be. Accordingly, the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is uncertain. Continued business disruption relating to the COVID-19 pandemic may, among other things, negatively impact demand for our services, our workforce availability, our ability to perform fully on our contracts and our costs and may also limit the ability of customers to make timely payments to us, all of which would adversely affect our business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
We continue to serve our clients but have been subject to the social distancing, stay-at-home and other restrictions imposed by national, state and local governments. Our challenge has been to find methods of maintaining continuity of operations, including strict security standards, until social distancing requirements are relaxed.
We anticipate that we will be able to return to our previous levels of performance once the effect of this pandemic abates. However, the timing of this is uncertain and may vary by contract and location.
We have strong relationships with our clients, with many considering us to be providing “essential services” to ensure that vital government programs continue to operate and that citizens continue to receive critical assistance at a time when the need for healthcare and safety-net programs is rising. Where we cannot provide services in the short-term, some of our clients are exploring ways of maintaining our services on a cost-recovery basis until pandemic restrictions are lifted.
We have a strong customer base. Within the United States, many of the services we provide are either directly for the U.S. Federal Government or are mandated by the U.S. Federal Government. Outside the United States, our services are often provided for or funded by national governments. Although we may experience some delays in payments as governments navigate new processes to make payments, we expect to continue to receive payments.
At March 31, 2020, we had $126.3 million of cash and $150 million of borrowings on our credit facility, leaving $250 million of available capacity. We believe we have adequate cash resources and credit availability to handle our obligations as they fall due.
In the long-term, we believe that many of the demographic and legislative trends that we have articulated as opportunities for the growth of our business with the United States Federal Government. This growth has been both organic and through acquisitions.
Most of our business depends upon government demand for our support services, their propensitywill continue. With societies continuing to outsource and their procurement processes. These may be affected, both positively and detrimentally, by changes in presidential administration, the balance of power within a coalition government or legislative body, by the relative priorities of a government and the processes followed by a government in tendering, procuring and awarding contracts.  Our short-term growth expectations were impacted by changes in the industry that we believe were tied to changes in the political environment in the United States that started in 2017. We continue to experience longer procurement cycles, increased delays and contract award protests. Some of this was due to policy and budget uncertainty. Further, agency staffing shortfalls tied to the slow presidential nomination process hindered the decision-making process at both the federal and the state level.
Longer-term, we believe the ongoing demand for our services driven by demographic, economic and legislative trends, coupled with our strong position within our industry, will continue to foster future growth. Our long-term growth thesis is based on the following factors:
Demographic trends, includingsee increased longevity and more complex health needs place an increased burden on government social benefit and safety-net programs. At the same time, programs that address societal needs must be a good use of taxpayer dollars and achieve their intended outcomes. We believe the macro-economic trends of demographics and government needs, coupled with the needa desire by governments to achieve value for money, will continuespend wisely and seek outcome-based services, we believe we remain well-placed to drive demand forbuild on our services.
Our contract portfolio offers us good revenue visibility. Our contracts are typically multi-year arrangements and we have customer relationships which have lasted decades. Because of this longevity, our contract portfolio at any point in time can typically be used to identify approximately 90% of our anticipated revenue for the next twelve months.
We maintain a strong reputation within the government health and human services industry. Our deep clientexisting relationships and reputation for delivering outcomes and efficiencies creates a strong barrier to entry in a risk-averse environment. Entering our markets typically requires expertise in complex procurement processes, operation of multi-faceted government programs and an ability to serve and engage with diverse populations.
We have a portfolio target operating profit margin that ranges between 10% and 15% with high cash conversion, a healthy balance sheet and access to a $400 million credit facility. Our financial flexibility allows us to fund investments in the business, complete strategic acquisitions to further supplement our core capabilities and seek new adjacent platforms. We believe that our financial strength offers government clients reliability and dependability that we can deliver on program objectives and achieve contractual targets.reputation.
2018


We use a well-trained workforce to perform our operations. In order to preserve their safety and security, we have implemented a number of steps to ensure social distancing and the reduction of risk to our workforce. Where possible, employees are encouraged to work from home. Where this is not possible, workplaces are enforcing screening, social distancing and regular cleaning and sanitizing. We have introduced a number of leave and income protection for employees who experience COVID-19 related absences.
Acquisitions
To supplement our core business, we have an active program to identify potential strategic acquisitions. Our acquisitions have successfully enabled us to increase future organic growth, as well as expand our business processes, knowledge and client relationships into adjacent markets and new geographies. During fiscal year 2019,In November 2018, we acquired athe citizen engagement centercenters business which had previously been ownedoperated by General Dynamics Information Technology. This acquisition, strengthenscoupled with our position2015 acquisition of Acentia, LLC, has provided increased scale, customer base and competitive advantages in our business with the administrationUnited States Federal Government. In August 2019 and February 2020, we acquired GT Hiring Solutions in Canada and InjuryNet in Australia, respectively, which we have integrated into our Outside the U.S. Segment. These acquisitions supplement our existing businesses in this segment.
We have paused significant acquisition activity until we see an easing of government programs.the uncertainties resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. We continue to work on smaller tuck-in transactions that will support future organic growth in a meaningful way.

Financial Overview
Since October 1, 2018, we operated our business through three segments, U.S. Health and Human Services, U.S. Federal Services and Outside the U.S. The results forCOVID-19 pandemic has affected each of theseour segments in different ways and at different times. Although all of the jurisdictions in which we operate followed different paths in reacting to the pandemic, the broad approach of restricting travel, cancelling large social gatherings, closing non-essential services and issuing restrictions on daily living developed during the three months ended March 31, 2020. Accordingly, our results for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019,2020, were affected by the pandemic towards the end of the period. The effects of the pandemic have continued into our third fiscal quarter. The effect on our financial statements in this period was different factors.across each of our segments.
OurWe experienced limited disruption within our U.S. Health & Human Services Segment reported a decline in revenue and a stablegross profit. The revenue movement was the result of the rebid or extension on a number of large contracts. The profit margin received the benefit of $4 million of revenue from an expected  contract change order including work performed in prior periods.
Our U.S. Federal Services Segment reported revenue growth driven bySegments as we worked to maintain our operations, while prioritizing the acquisitionsafety of our employees. We anticipate some continued disruption in these segments over the citizen engagement centers business which contributed $176.0 million and $277.3 million in revenue in the three and six months ended March 31, 2019, respectively.The organic declines in revenue andnext two fiscal quarters from incremental costs were due to the completion of temporary work supporting disaster reliefs efforts, which had supplemented prior fiscal year results, as well as the anticipated ending of other contracts. The second quarter of fiscal year 2018 was tempered by a non-recurring expense to renegotiate a subcontract on a large business process outsourcing (BPS) program whereidle labor, enhanced screening and enhanced cleaning but we increaseddo not anticipate significant changes within our scope of work. The second quarter of fiscal year 2019 received the benefit of favorable delivery on performance-based contracts. contract base.
Our Outside the U.S. Segment reported declinesreceived an immediate and significant negative impact from the pandemic as a significant portion of our international work is employment related, whether in revenuefinding work for individuals or assessing their health and profit due primarilywork capabilities. The changes in the employment markets in these jurisdictions has sharply reduced the number of individuals in work and the number of employment opportunities available to declinesthem, resulting in a sharp decline in our welfare-to-work business in Australia and the United Kingdom, including the Work Programme and Work Choice contracts in the United Kingdom that are ending.outcome-based revenue. This segment was also includes discretionary spending which is passed acrossaffected to a lesser extent by the customer with no added margin, resultingAustralian bushfires in diluted profit margins.
Other effects of the citizen engagement centers acquisition on our U.S. Federal Services Segment for the six months ended March 31,December 2019 are listed below.and January 2020.
In addition to a paymentThe nature of $421.8 million to acquire the business,COVID-19 pandemic makes projections more challenging than is typically the increase in our workforce required significant additional investment in software licenses resulting in an increase of $4.5 million in property and equipment and a corresponding investing cash outflow.case. We have accrued a further $8.8 million to paymade assumptions for the estimated balanceremainder of the purchase price.
We completedfiscal year based upon our expectations of how the transaction using existing cash balancesrestrictions imposed by the pandemic will be eased and borrowed funds of $150 million. Although we have made steady progress in reducing our indebtedness, this resulted in an increase in interest expense and a decline in our interest income.
Our cash flows from operations receivedare dependent upon how quickly the benefitseconomies of the increased business. At the acquisition date, the business wasjurisdictions in a seasonally high period of the year and, accordingly, had higher than average receivables from customers. In addition, the payroll obligation was lower than that at quarter end.
Although our administrative cost base has grown to cover the needs of supporting a larger organization, our existing cost base is being spread across a larger revenue base. As our general and administrative costs are allocated to our operating segments, the acquisition is providing a benefit to our profit margins in all of our segments. We estimate that the full fiscal year benefit to operating marginwhich we operate will be 1.25% in our U.S. Health and Human Services Segment and 0.5% in our Outside the U.S. Segment.recover.
We incurred acquisition-related expenses of $2.7 million. These costs represent the incremental costs incurred in completing the transaction, including legal and advisory costs, integration expenses, valuation services and other consultancy costs.
We recorded amortization for intangible assets acquired of $10.1 million. We anticipate a full fiscal year expense of $23.6 million for fiscal year 2019.
At this time, we are still in the process of identifying and valuing the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the purchase. This evaluation includes test work over the opening balance sheet and reviewing an appraisal of the

value of the intangible assets acquired with the business. To the extent that the value of the assets and liabilities vary from our current estimates, we may incur a different annual amortization charge and a different purchase price.
Our Outside the U.S. Segment was affected by declines in the value of local currencies against the United States Dollar, resulting in reduced revenues and profits.
On October 1, 2018, we adopted the requirements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Accounting Standard Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which changed the manner in which we recognize revenue on contracts with our customers. The adoption of this new standard resulted in a catch-up of revenue and net income attributable to our shareholders of $47.2 million and $32.9 million, respectively, which was recorded in retained earnings in the first quarter. If we had applied our previous accounting policies in the current period, our revenue for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019 would have been lower by approximately $1.0 million and $1.8 million, respectively.

Revenue and cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2019,2020, increased compared to the same period in fiscal year 2018,2019, principally driven by the citizen engagement centers business acquisition. Thisacquisition in the U.S. Federal Services Segment. Although this acquisition provided a full quarter of results in both periods, the Census

Questionnaire Assistance (CQA) contract is now approaching its peak level of operations whereas work was at an early stage in fiscal year 2019.
Our businesses within the United States experienced organic revenue growth, offset by organic revenue declines in all three segments and the detrimental effects of currency inwithin our Outside the U.S. Segment. The factors driving these changes are covereddiscussed in more detail below.
Our cost of revenue includes direct costs related to labor, subcontractor labor, outside vendors, rent and other direct costs.
Our acquired growth represents the citizen engagement centers business, which was acquired on November 16, 2018. The two largest contracts included in the transaction are both cost-plus type contracts. Cost-plus contracts typically have lower financial risk but typically earn margins in the mid-single digits.
We operate in a number of locations where the functional currency is not the U.S. Dollar. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the value of all of these currencies was lower than in the comparative period in fiscal year 2018. This had a negative impact on revenue and costs.

The factors impactingWe estimate that revenue and cost of revenue for the six months ended March 31, 2019 are similarperiod from October 1, 2018 to those affectingNovember 16, 2018 (the acquisition date) would have increased our revenue and cost of revenue by $98.4 million and $85.3 million, respectively. We have utilized pro forma revenue, cost of revenue and gross profit in calculating the three month period.changes shown above.
Selling, general and administrative expense (SG&A) consists of indirect costs related to general management, marketing and administration. It is primarily composed of labor costs. These costs may be incurred at a segment level, for dedicated resources that are not client-facing, or at a corporate level. Corporate costs are allocated to segments on a consistent and rational basis. Fluctuations in our SG&A are primarily driven by changes in our administrative cost base, which is not directly driven by changes in our revenue. As part of our work for the United States Federal Government and many states, we allocate these costs using a methodology driven by the Federal Cost Accounting Standards.
Our SG&A expense has increased year-over-year due primarily to:
bad debt charges of $7.8 million from an increase in receivable reserves due to payment concerns related to COVID-19 and a billing dispute with a customer;
increases in business development activity to both bolster our technical skills and plan for increased bidding activity;
increases in our scope of operations, particularly related to the CQA contract in the U.S. Federal Services Segment and
higher than usual specific acquisition costs and IT transformation initiatives, including migrating our existing data centers to the cloud.

Our effective tax rate for the sixthree months ended March 31, 2019,2020, was 24.8%26.1%, compared to 24.5%23.4% in the same period in fiscal year 2018. Our results in fiscal year 2019 benefited from2019. We are closely monitoring the effects of changes in tax legislation, notably the Tax CutsUnited States CARES Act, which provides for some tax credits and Jobs Act (the Act), which reduced the U.S. federal income tax rate to 21%. We recognized the effectsdelayed payment of the Act during fiscal year 2018, specifically the re-measurement ofsome taxes. The effect on our deferred tax assets and liabilities as well as impact of the one-time "toll tax" on the undistributed, non-previously taxed foreign earnings of our subsidiaries, resulting in a net benefit of approximately $1.1 million. We have completed our analysis of these items and have not recorded any adjustments in this period.
Our effective income tax rate for fiscal year 2019 is projected to beresults in the range of 25% to 25.5%.

During our secondthree and fourth fiscal quarters, we receive the tax benefit from the vesting of restricted stock units (RSUs). The benefit is dependent upon the number of RSUs which vest as well as our share price on the vesting date. During the threesix months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, we received tax benefits of $1.7 million from the issuance of restricted stock unit awards which had been previously deferred by members of our Board of Directors.

Our operating profit was negatively impacted by the bad debt charges of $7.1 million.
This segment experienced disruption, resulting in declines in profit margins, from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the last three weeks of March 2020. The disruption was not uniform as each U.S. state and locality imposed different requirements on our working practices and operations. Some locations were organic.temporarily closed through local requirements driven by COVID-19.
During fiscal years 2019Many of the services we provide are considered essential and, 2018, we rebid or extended a number of large contracts withaccordingly, our customers are working with us to ensure continuity of service. We have experienced and expect to continue to experience some disruption in the short term as we change our manner of operating, whether due to a need for additional space to allow for social distancing or through the costs of working from remote locations. This has resulted in some reduced revenue, as we are unable to operate at full efficiency. The effect on each contract varies based upon the requirements imposed by the client or the jurisdiction and the manner in which we are reimbursed for services. In some locations, we have taken on additional work associated with unemployment insurance, which will partially offset some of these losses. We anticipate our operating income margins will be between 17% and 18% for the full fiscal year.
Our customers in this segment are typically U.S. state governments, who have seen increases in the demand for the social services that we administer while also experiencing a significant reduction in their tax revenues. Although this may provide additional opportunities for us, we face the risk that many of our customers may face cash shortfalls from reduced income tax receipts, resulting in reduced contract revenue and profit. It is not unusual that during a bid or sole-source extension of a contract, we negotiate a revenue reduction in orderneed to retain the business. This may be short term in nature and, over the life of the contract, we can improve revenue and profit through scope increases and operating efficiencies.

Our gross profit includes a benefit of $4.0 million from a single contract amendment signed in the second quarter of fiscal year 2019 but for which costs had been incurred in earlier periods. Our operating profit margins also received the benefit of the cost synergies from the acquisition of the citizen engagement centers business.
We anticipate operating margin for the segment will be between 17% and 19% for fiscal year 2019.
U.S. Federal Services Segment
Our U.S. Federal Services Segment provides business process solutions, including program administration, appeals and assessment services as well as system and software development and maintenance services for various U.S. federal civilian programs.

To show the changes between the six months ended March 31, 2019 and 2020, we utilized the following information.

This balance, combined with our prior year results, provides pro forma results – an estimate of the results of this segment if we had acquired the citizen engagement centers business on or before October 1, 2018.
3.These balances represent the growth, on a large BPS contract where we increased our scope of work.
Onepro forma basis, of the contracts noted above coversacquired with the operationcitizen engagement centers business from the first two quarters of fiscal years 2019 to the United States Decennial Census. We anticipate revenues fromfirst two quarters of fiscal year 2020. The principal driver of this contractgrowth was the Census Questionnaire Assistance (CQA) contract.
4.These balances represent the growth reported between the first two quarters of approximately $200 million and $350 million for fiscal years 2019 and 2020 respectively. Althoughof existing contracts outside those acquired.
The majority of revenue in this segment is generated by cost-plus contracts, including almost all of the income acquired from the citizen engagement centers business. Accordingly, we are able to recover COVID-19-related costs incurred on these contracts. Our revenue has increased as a result of new and acquired contracts but margins tempered by additional costs on some performance-based arrangements and ongoing investments in business development.
The CQA contract continues through June 2021, we do not anticipate a material amounthad $185 million of revenue in fiscal year 2021. These estimates are based upon2019. The contract contributed approximately $210 million of revenue in the first half of fiscal year 2020 and is anticipated to provide approximately $430 - $450 million of revenue during the current fiscal year.
While we have experienced some disruption from the COVID-19 pandemic, we believe that the nature of our expectationscontracts and the desires of our customers will allow us to continue operating, albeit with some restrictions. We anticipate operating profit margins for the remainder of the contract at this time which may change through contract performance or changes to the contract.
Our organic business has declined since last fiscal year. This was caused by:
The anticipated ending of certain contracts;
The rebid of contracts acquired in 2015 under the small business rules which we were not eligible to rebid for;year will be between 8% and
The absence of some short-term disaster relief work which had improved our results in fiscal year 2018.
Our profit margins in fiscal year 2018 were tempered by a charge of $2.9 million related to costs incurred in renegotiating a subcontract.
The U.S. Federal Government shutdown in December 2018 and January 2019 did not have a significant effect on our business. 9%.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had an immediate and significant negative effect on the results of our Outside the U.S. Segment. This business has several significant contracts that are compensated based upon performance-based outcomes, which have been significantly disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Our welfare-to-work contracts earn revenue based upon our ability to place individuals in long-term sustained employment. Revenue is recognized based on our estimate of the number of individuals who we anticipate reaching these milestones. As a result of the pandemic, we revised our estimates of those jobseekers who are likely to achieve employment outcomes. In March 2020, we have recorded a decline in our estimated outcomes of approximately $24 million. Although we are continuing to service participants in these programs where we can, the pool of available employment opportunities is significantly lower than before.
Our health assessment contracts, including HAAS, have experienced declines in volumes as our ability to provide face-to-face assessments and the demand for the three month period ended March 31, 2019, decreased by 18% compared to the same period in fiscal year 2018. Onoccupational health services has diminished. As a constant currency basis revenue decreased by 13%. Costtemporary measure, we have furloughed some employees and a number of revenue decreased by 14% compared to the same period in fiscal year 2018.
In fiscal year 2019, the Work Programme and Work Choice Programme contractsmedical professionals in the United Kingdom are ending. have volunteered to assist the National Health Service. In the latter case, payments made to our employees will be on a pass through basis and will not result in revenue or profit. Our revenues will be significantly reduced until the conditions caused by the pandemic have eased.
As a result revenue from these contracts is expectedof this disruption, we anticipate that we will continue to be lower inexperience operating losses for the remainder of this fiscal year 2019 by approximately $35 million compared to fiscal year 2018. These contracts have been replaced by new programs that were devolved toyear. Within the local authorities. In fiscal year 2018,U.K., we began operations in Wales, East London and Scotland to provide health and employment services to vulnerable populations with disabilities and complex health conditions. As is often the case with new contracts, we have experienced challengesare in the early monthsprocess of this contract but have taken significant stepstransitioning some of our contracts to address thesea cost-recovery model. In the longer-term, we anticipate an expanded need for our services across all geographies as we help our customers to expand and adapt their employment programs to cope with additional resourceswidespread unemployment.

As such, we are closely monitoring developments asfollowing the departure of the United Kingdom Government negotiates a withdrawal from the European Union. We do not anticipate the withdrawal to have a material direct effect on our business in the United Kingdom due to Brexit due to the nature of our customer base and the absence of cross-border operations. However, regardless of the nature and timing of the withdrawal, the uncertainty over the process and the eventual outcome is affectinghas affected us indirectly. We anticipate we will continue to be subject to political risks, as legislative priorities may change theand economic risks from the pre- and post-withdrawal environment, and we may, along with other businesses, experience difficulty in recruiting and retaining employees.environment.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal source of liquidity remainsThe COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected our cash flows from operations. Thesein March 2020 as there are some contracts where we were unable to perform at full level of operations or where payments are outcome-based. At March 31, 2020, we had approximately $126 million in unrestricted cash flows are usedand $250 million of liquidity available on our credit facility. Our cash and cash equivalents balance included $36.5 million held in foreign locations in local currencies. While we expect a reduction to fund our ongoing operationsrevenues due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we believe that we will have positive free cash flow for the second half of fiscal year 2020.
Governments worldwide have introduced a number of short-term policies to assist businesses with their liquidity. We anticipate utilizing payroll credits in the United States and the United Kingdom, as well as the deferral of certain tax obligations in the United States. We have also furloughed approximately 200 employees in the United Kingdom.
Our international locations have access to borrowing facilities which they may use to cover short-term working capital needs or small acquisitions, such as well as investments in capital infrastructureour acquisitions of GT Hiring Solutions and purchases of our own common stock. These operating cash flows are driven by our contracts and their payment terms. For many contracts, we are reimbursed for the costs of startup operations, although there may be a gap between incurring and receiving these funds. Other factors which may cause shortfalls in cash flows include contract terms where payments are tied to outcome deliveries, which may not correspond with the costs incurred to achieve these outcomes and short-term delays where government budgets are constrained.InjuryNet.
To supplement our operating cash flows, we maintain and utilize our credit facility which allows us to borrow up to $400 million, subject to standard covenants. In November 2018, we utilized $150 million of borrowing to acquire the citizen engagement centers business, with the balance from existing cash balances. We continue to use our facility to manage our working capital requirements but believe that our cash flows from operations are typically sufficient to fund our operations. At March 31, 2019, our borrowings under the facility were $75.0 million. During April 2019, we repaid these borrowings in full.
27


Our priorities for cash utilization are to actively pursue new growth opportunities, to maintain our quarterly dividend program and, where opportunities arise, to make purchases of our own shares.
We have no requirement to remit funds from our foreign locations back to the United States. However, where remitting these funds is possible and can be performed in a tax-efficient manner, we will do so. With the passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in the United States, we are able to transfer a significant amount of funds from our foreign locations on a tax-free basis. We will continue to explore opportunities to makebring back additional funds, available for investment, taking into consideration the working capital requirements and relevant tax rules in each jurisdiction. WhereWhen we are unable to remit funds back without incurring a penalty, we will consider these funds indefinitely reinvested until such time as these restrictions are changed. As a result, we do not record U.S. deferred income taxes on any funds held in foreign jurisdictions. We have not attempted to calculate our potential liability from any transfer of these funds as any such transaction might include tax planning strategies which we have not fully explored. Accordingly, it is not possible to estimate the potential tax obligations if we were to remit all of our funds from foreign locations to the United States. At March 31, 2019, we held $43.4 million in cash or cash equivalents held in foreign locations in local currencies.

Our Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) at March 31, 2019,2020 were 7772 days; the balance at September 30, 2018,2019, was 63also 72 days. Our DSO calculation now includes unbilled balances due to the adoption of ASC 606.Absent this effect, our DSO would have been 73 days. Our receivable balances at March 31, 2019, include receivables from our Census contract, which is undergoing a quick ramp-up to prepare for activities, and, accordingly, will continue to experience growing receivable balances. Going forward, we believe the increase to DSO from the adoption of ASC 606 will be offset by more timely collections on the newly acquired U.S. Federal contracts. We use DSO to evaluate our performance in collecting our receivable balances, both billed and unbilled. We have a target range for DSO of 65 to 80 days and in recent years, we have typically maintained the lower end of this range in recent years.range. We anticipate our DSO may grow during the remainder of the fiscal year as U.S. state governments may delay payments to assist their cash flows.
Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended March 31, 2019,2020, was $420.1$21.6 million, compared to $12.8 million in the same period last year. This includes our initial payment of $421.8 millionprincipally for the acquisition of the citizen engagement centers business; the purchase agreement is subject to a working capital true up. We anticipate an additional payment of approximately $8.8 million in our third fiscal quarter. Our capital expenditures also included $4.5 million in one-time payments to cover software licenses required for employees joining us from the citizen engagement centers acquisition.support operations.

Cash used in financing activities in the six months ended March 31, 2019,2020, was $8.6$63.6 million, compared to $17.6$8.6 million of cash provided in the comparative period. For the acquisitionFiscal year 2020 included $167.0 million of the citizen engagement centers business, we utilized $150 million from our credit facility; we had repaid halfpurchases of this balance by March 31, 2019. In fiscal year 2019, we used $46.1 million to purchase our common stock, compared with $1.0partially offset by $150.5 million of net borrowings. Credit facility borrowings and stock purchase transactions were less significant in fiscal year 2018, and a further $32.0 million to pay our quarterly dividend. Our dividend payment represents a payment of $0.25 per share per quarter, compared with $0.045 per share in the prior year.2019.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses. On an ongoing basis we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition and cost estimation on certain contracts, the realizability of goodwill and other long-lived assets, and amounts related to contingencies and income tax liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
During the six months ended March 31, 2019,2020, we made changes to the manner in which we recognize revenue. This has resulted in a need for additional estimates.record leases. For additional information, please see "Note 3. Revenue recognition"Leases" in our "Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements" in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Non-GAAP Measures
We utilize non-GAAPnon-GAAP measures where we believe it will assist the user of our financial statements in understanding our business. The presentation of these measures is meant to complement, but not replace, other financial measures in this document. The presentation of non-GAAP numbers is not meant to be considered in isolation, nor as an alternative to revenue growth, cash flows from operations or net income as measures of performance. These non-GAAP measures, as determined and presented by us, may not be comparable to related or similarly titled measures presented by other companies.
In fiscal year 2018, 29%2019, 21% of our revenue was generated outside the U.S. We believe that users of our financial statements wish to understand the performance of our foreign operations using a methodology which excludes the effect of year-over-year exchange rate fluctuations. To calculate year-over-year currency movement, we determine the current fiscal year’s results for all foreign businesses using the exchange rates in the prior fiscal year. We refer to this adjusted revenue on a "constant currency basis."
27


In recent years, we have made a number of acquisitions. We believe users of our financial statements wish to evaluate the performance of our operations, excluding changes that have arisen due to businesses acquired. Where information is available, we will show pro forma revenue, cost of revenue and gross profit. Pro forma results represent an estimate of the results of the business as though we had owned the business for an entire comparative period, rather than just a portion of it. To provide pro forma financial information, we use the results of the acquired business as prepared by the former owners adjusted to reflect changes in accounting and eliminating transactions between ourselves and the company. Where this information has not been prepared, we will identify acquired revenue and cost of revenue by showing these results for periods for which no comparative results exist within our financial statements. We provide organicpro forma comparative results and acquired revenue growth as a useful basis for assessing this.way of allowing investors to see the growth in our business on a year-over-year basis. This information is supplemented by our calculations of organic revenue. To calculate organic revenue growth, we compare current fiscal year revenue excluding revenue from these acquisitions to our prior fiscal year revenue.
29


In order to sustain our cash flows from operations, we require regular refreshing of our fixed assets and technology. We believe that users of our financial statements wish to understand the cash flows that directly correspond with our operations and the investments we must make in those operations using a methodology which combines operating cash flows and capital expenditures. We provide free cash flow to complement our statement of cash flows. Free cash flow shows the effects of the Company’s operations and replacement capital expenditures and excludes the cash flow effects of acquisitions, purchases of our own common stock, dividend payments and other financing transactions. We have provided a reconciliation of free cash flow to cash provided by operations.
To sustain our operations, our principal source of financing comes from receiving payments from our customers. We believe that users of our financial statements wish to evaluate our efficiency in converting revenue into cash receipts. Accordingly, we provide DSO, which we calculate by dividing billed and unbilled receivable balances at the end of each quarter by revenue per day for the period. Revenue per day for a quarter is determined by dividing total revenue by 91 days.
As noted above, we have access to a $400 million credit facility. Our credit agreement includes the defined term Consolidated EBITDA and our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA conforms to the credit agreement definition. We believe our investors appreciate the opportunity to understand the possible restrictions which arise from our credit agreement. Adjusted EBITDA is also a useful measure of performance which focuses on the cash generating capacity of the business as it excludes the non-cash expenses of depreciation and amortization, and makes for easier comparisons between the operating performance of companies with different capital structures by excluding interest expense and therefore the impacts of financing costs. The measure of Adjusted EBITA is a step in calculating Adjusted EBITDA and facilitates comparisons to similar businesses as it isolates the amortization effect of business combinations. Our credit facility requires us to calculate Adjusted EBITDA on a pro forma basis as though we had owned any acquired business for a full twelve month period prior to the acquisition. We have provided a reconciliation from net income to Adjusted EBITA, Adjusted EBITDA and Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA as follows:

Item 3.                  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
Our exposure to market risks generally relates to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
At March 31, 2019,2020, and September 30, 2018,2019, we held net assets denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar of $117.3$161.1 million and $100.3$176.3 million, respectively. Of these balances, cash and cash equivalents comprised $43.4$36.5 million and $46.4$18.9 million, respectively. Accordingly, in the event of a 10% unfavorable exchange rate movement across these currencies, we would have reported the following incremental effects on our comprehensive income and our cash flow statement (in thousands).
March 31, 2019September 30, 2018 March 31, 2020September 30, 2019
Comprehensive income attributable to MAXIMUSComprehensive income attributable to MAXIMUS$(11,730)$(10,030)Comprehensive income attributable to MAXIMUS$(16,114) $(17,630) 
Net decrease in cash and cash equivalentsNet decrease in cash and cash equivalents(4,336)(4,640)Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents(3,649) (1,890) 
Included within our net assets held in international currency are assets which we consider to be monetary assets — those which hold a fair value close to their book value and which represent a recent cash outflow or which will become a cash inflow or outflow within a short period of time. These assets and liabilities are typically cash, billed, billable and unbilled accounts receivable, current prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued compensation, deferred revenue and debt. At March 31, 2019,2020, the net value of these assets and liabilities was $94.4 $55.4 million.
Where possible, we identify surplus funds in foreign locations and place them into entities with the U.S. Dollar as their functional currency. This mitigates our exposure to foreign currencies. We mitigate our foreign currency exchange risks within our operating divisions through incurring costs and cash outflows in the same currency as our revenue.
We are exposed to interest rate risk through our revolving credit facility and other short term borrowings. At March 31, 2019, we had borrowings of $79.0 million. Our interest rate for the revolving credit facility is based upon the one-month London Interbank Offering Rate (LIBOR) or equivalent plus a premium based upon our leverage; this premium is currently 1%. The one-month LIBOR at March 31, 2019,2020, was approximately 2.5%0.99%. A hypotheticalWe had borrowings of $150.0 million under the facility at March 31, 2020. Accordingly, an increase of 1% in interest rates would result in an annualized additional expense of $1.5 million. The balance of our outstanding debt at March 31, 2020, was comprised of short-term borrowings in foreign locations to 3.5%cover short-term working capital needs. The terms and rates under which we borrow in these jurisdictions varies from location to location. As these borrowings are relatively small and for brief periods, we do not anticipate significant interest rate exposure. In the event that longer-term borrowings were required or if the costs of borrowing became expensive, we would increaseanticipate using our annual interest expense andcurrent cash flows by approximately $0.8 million.balance to cover these obligations.

Item 4.                  Controls and Procedures.
(a)   Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective and designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b)    Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
With the exception of the matters noted below, thereThere was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) identified in connection with the evaluation of our internal control that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
From October 2018, we have made changes to our accounting for revenue based upon changes in accounting principles. These changes have required updates and additions to our existing controls which have been implemented in the current fiscal year.
In November 2018, we acquired the citizen engagement centers business from General Dynamics Information Technology. We are in the process of integrating this business into our existing control environment.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1.             Legal Proceedings.
We are subject to audits, investigations and reviews relating to compliance with the laws and regulations that govern our role as a contractor to agencies and departments of the United States Federal Government, state, local and foreign governments, and otherwise in connection with performing services in countries outside of the U.S. Adverse findings could lead to criminal, civil or administrative proceedings, and we could be faced with penalties, fines, suspension or disbarment.debarment. Adverse findings could also have a material adverse effect on us because of our reliance on government contracts. We are subject to periodic audits by federal, state, local and foreign governments for taxes. We are also involved in various claims, arbitrations and lawsuits arising in the normal conduct of our business. These include but are not limited to bid protests, employment matters, contractual disputes and charges before administrative agencies. Although we can give no assurance, based upon our evaluation and taking into account the advice of legal counsel, we do not believe that the outcome of any existing matter would likely have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Securities class action lawsuit
In August 2017, the Company and certain officers were named as defendants in a putative class action lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. The plaintiff alleged the defendants made a variety of materially false and misleading statements, or failed to disclose material information, concerning the status of the Company’s Health Assessment Advisory Service project for the U.K. Department for Work and Pensions from the period of October 20, 2014, through February 3, 2016. In August 2018, our motion to dismiss the case was granted, and the case was dismissed. In October 2018, the plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal to the U.S. Circuit Court for the Fourth Circuit. That appeal is pending. At this time, it is not possible to reasonably predict whether this matter will be permitted to proceed as a class or to reasonably estimate the value of the claims asserted, and we are unable to estimate the potential loss or range of loss.
Medicaid claims
A state Medicaid agency has been notified of two proposed disallowances by theThe Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has asserted two disallowances against a state Medicaid agency totaling approximately $31 million. From 2004 through 2009, we had a contract with the state agency in support of its school-based Medicaid claims. We entered into separate agreements with the school districts under which we assisted the districts with preparing and submitting claims to the state Medicaid agency which, in turn, submitted claims for reimbursement to CMS. The state has asserted that its agreement with us requires us to reimburse the state for the amounts owed to CMS. However, our agreements with the school districts require them to reimburse us for such amounts, and therefore we believe the school districts are responsible for any amounts that ultimately must be refunded to CMS. Although it is reasonably possible that a court could conclude we are responsible for the full balance of the disallowances, we believe our exposure in this matter is limited to our fees associated with this work and that the school districts will be responsible for the remainder. We have reserved our estimated fees earned from this engagement relating to the disallowances.disallowances. We exited the federal healthcare-claiming business in 2009 and no longer provide the services at issue in this matter. The state contested the first disallowance of approximately $12 million in U.S. District Court. In February 2020, the District Court upheld that disallowance, and the state has appealed the case to the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The second disallowance of approximately $19 million is still pending at the U.S. Health and Human Services Departmental Appeals Board. No legal action has been initiated against us.us with respect to either disallowance.

Item 1A.             Risk Factors.
In connection with information set forth in this Form 10-Q, the factors discussed below and under “Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K for fiscal year ended September 30, 2018,2019, should be considered. The risks included below and in the Form 10-K could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. There
Other than as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the factors discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2018,2019, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 20, 2018.26, 2019.
Our business could be materially and adversely impacted by the recent coronavirus (“COVID-19”) outbreak or other similar outbreaks.

We face various risks related to health epidemics, pandemics and similar outbreaks, including the recent global outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”). COVID-19 is negatively impacting worldwide economic activity and has resulted in travel and work restrictions, commercial disruptions and has affected companies' operations around the world. We have been and continue to be affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, including through office closures and changes in working practices. If significant portions of our workforce are unable to work effectively, including because of illness, quarantines, government actions, facility closures or other restrictions in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, our operations will likely be adversely impacted. If our operations are materially restricted, we may be unable to perform fully on our contracts and our costs may increase as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak. These cost increases may not be fully recoverable or adequately covered by insurance.
We have also experienced procurement delays, increased labor and technology costs and reductions in outcome-based contract revenue. If these conditions are more protracted or severe than anticipated, it could have a
3230


material effect on our business, cause delays or limit the ability of our customers to perform, including in making timely payments to us.
In recent months, the spread of COVID-19 has led to disruption and volatility in the global capital markets, which increases the cost of capital and could impede our ability to access capital, if we need to do so in the future.
We continue to work with our customers, employees and suppliers to address responsibly this global pandemic. We will continue to monitor the situation and assess further possible implications to our business and our stakeholders and will take appropriate actions in an effort to mitigate adverse consequences. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in any such mitigation efforts.
Our customers, and therefore our business and revenues, are sensitive to negative changes in general economic conditions. In particular, many governments will be anticipating reduced income from taxes as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Any continued or further decline in economic conditions, as a result of COVID-19 or otherwise, would negatively impact our business.
We cannot at this time predict the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and any resulting economic impact, but it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
