Richard A. Montoni, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our solid results for the period reflect the integral role MAXIMUS plays in the administration of vital health and human services programs. Recent new wins, successful rebids and program expansions have offset some reductions in the domestic business resulting from the challenging state budgetary environment. We are actively working with our government partners to meet increased program demand with scalable solutions while best positioning the Company for emerging opportunities. With the recent doubling of our Australia operations and today’s announced win in the UK, we are excited to expand the reach of our thought leadership and program administration expertise in the global market.”
