Maximus Completes Acquisition of Veterans Evaluation Services, Inc.
(RESTON, Va. - June 1, 2021) - Maximus (NYSE: MMS), a leading provider of government services worldwide, announced today that it completed the acquisition of privately held Veterans Evaluation Services, Inc. (VES). The agreement was previously announced on April 21, 2021. As the Company continues to execute and position for the future, this acquisition is a natural next step in progressing management's long-term strategy.
VES is a premier provider of Medical Disability Examinations (MDEs) to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (the VA). VES' expertise creates an opportunity for Maximus to grow our independent clinical assessments business at the Federal level, while meaningfully expanding our presence in the VA. As a result, the independent health and disability assessments and appeals portion of our business will comprise a larger share of our overall portfolio and pipeline, positioning Maximus to serve as the leading provider of health and disability assessments and appeals on behalf of government.
"Through this combination, Maximus and VES will serve as a credible, established partner to the VA, add clinical capacity for clients, and offer innovation to benefit Veterans and the Veterans Benefits Administration", shared Bruce Caswell, President and Chief Executive Officer. "I am proud to welcome our newest colleagues to Maximus. Together, we will support our nation's Veterans and help address the employment and health needs of service members and their families".
The purchase price was funded through new debt sources for the Company consisting of a $1.1 billion Term Loan A (TLA) due in 2026 and a $400 million Term Loan B (TLB) due in 2028. Pricing on the TLA is initially set at LIBOR+175 and the TLB is LIBOR+200, with a 0.5% Libor floor and an original issue discount of 99.5. The Company also refinanced its existing $400 million corporate credit facility and replaced it with a new $600 million facility available through 2026.
Outlook
The Company provided estimated revenue and earnings impact of the VES acquisition on the May 6, 2021 earnings announcement. The estimates remain unchanged with revenue for the remaining four months of Maximus' fiscal year expected be range between $160M and $175M. There are one-time expenses estimated to be approximately $13 million, interest expense tied to the Term Loan borrowings and amortization expense related to the acquired intangible assets. The VES acquisition is expected to be slightly dilutive to earnings per share for the remainder of fiscal 2021 and to be accretive in future periods.
