Cash Earnings per Share increase by 13.8%; EBITDA Increases 11.0%
Earnings per Share from Continuing Operations Increases 2.0%

Cleveland, Ohio (February 16, 2010)—CBIZ, Inc. (NYSE: CBZ) today announced fourth-quarter
and full-year results for the year ended December 31, 2009.
CBIZ reported revenue of $162.3 million for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2009, an increase
of 2.3% over the $158.7 million reported for the fourth quarter of 2008. Same-unit revenue for the
quarter decreased by 9.1% and newly acquired businesses contributed $18.1 million, or 11.4%, to
revenue growth. Net income from continuing operations was $1.4 million, or $0.02 per diluted share
for the fourth quarter 2009 compared to $3.4 million or $0.06 per diluted share in the fourth
quarter of 2008.
For the year ended December 31, 2009, CBIZ reported revenue of $739.7 million, an increase of 7.8%
over the $685.9 million reported for 2008. Same-unit revenue for the year decreased by 5.3% and
newly acquired businesses, net of divestitures, contributed $89.9 million, or 13.1%, to revenue
growth. Net income from continuing operations for 2009 was $32.1 million, or $0.52 per diluted
share, compared with $31.8 million, or $0.51 per diluted share for 2008.
Cash earnings per share from continuing operations, a non-GAAP measure that includes the impact of
major non-cash charges to earnings, improved to $0.99 for 2009, an increase of 13.8% over $0.87
cash earnings per share from continuing operations for 2008. EBITDA for 2009 was $84.8 million, an
increase of 11.0% over 2008 EBITDA. These calculations are outlined in the schedule attached.
Results for 2009 reflect the Company’s decision to discontinue the activities of several business
operations focused on providing software and technology support for small businesses. Results for
2008 have been adjusted to reflect these discontinued operations. The Company will continue to
invest in and grow its IT staffing and outsourcing business, including providing services under its
contract with Edward Jones, its largest client.
During 2009, CBIZ purchased a total of approximately 1.8 million shares of its common stock at a
total cost of $12.9 million. At December 31, 2009 the amount outstanding on the Company’s $214
million unsecured credit facility was $110 million compared with $125 million at December 31, 2008.
The Company recently announced that effective January 1, 2010, it had acquired the accounting and
financial services firm Goldstein Lewin which is based in Boca Raton, Florida, and also acquired
National Benefit Alliance, an employee benefits provider based in Midvale, Utah.
“We are pleased to have reported our eighth consecutive year of increased revenue, earnings,
earnings per share and cash earnings from continuing operations. The acquisitions we made in 2008
have performed well during the year and we are pleased to have made two additional acquisitions
during 2009 as well as the two we recently announced effective January 2010,” stated Steven Gerard,
CBIZ Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Our financial condition remains strong and we are well
positioned for future growth. We believe that some of the economic challenges we have encountered
this past year will persist, resulting in moderate growth in revenue, earnings and cash flow for
2010,” concluded Gerard.
Outlook for 2010
In 2010, CBIZ expects to grow revenue within a range of 3% to 5% and expects to improve earnings
per share from continuing operations within a range of 4% to 7% over the $0.52 per diluted share
reported for 2009, excluding the impact of the previously announced charges in 2010 for the
consolidation of facilities in connection with recent acquisition activity. Cash flow is expected
to remain strong, and CBIZ expects EBITDA of approximately $90 million in 2010.

| (3) | The Company believes cash earnings and cash earnings per diluted share (non-GAAP measures) more clearly illustrate the impact of certain non-cash charges to income from continuing operations and are a useful measure for the Company and its analysts. Cash earnings is defined as income from continuing operations excluding depreciation and amortization, non-cash interest expense and non-cash stock based compensation expense. Cash earnings per diluted share is calculated by dividing cash earnings by the number of weighted average diluted common shares outstanding for the period indicated. Cash earnings and cash earnings per diluted share should not be regarded as a replacement or alternative of performance under generally accepted accounting principles. |

| (3) | DSO is provided for continuing operations and represents accounts receivable (before the allowance for doubtful accounts) and unbilled revenue (net of realization adjustments) at the end of the period, divided by trailing twelve month daily revenue. The calculation of DSO for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008 excludes accounts receivable and unbilled revenue totalling approximately $9.6 million, which related to the acquisition of Mahoney Cohen & Company in New York on December 31, 2008. These receivables were excluded from the DSO calculation because they are a component of the acquisition, as opposed to being associated with the Company’s trailing twelve month daily revenue. The Company has included DSO data because such data is commonly used as a performance measure by analysts and investors and as a measure of the Company’s ability to collect on receivables in a timely manner. DSO should not be regarded as an alternative or replacement to any measurement of performance under generally accepted accounting principles. |
