BBSI Reports First Quarter 2013 Financial Results
- Q1 Net Revenues Up 35% to $112 Million; Non-GAAP Gross Revenues Up 37% to $591 Million -
VANCOUVER, Washington, April 23, 2013 – Barrett Business Services, Inc. (“BBSI” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: BBSI), a leading provider of business management solutions, reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2013.
First Quarter 2013 Financial Summary vs. Year-Ago Quarter
| · | Net revenues up 35% to $111.6 million |
| · | Gross revenues up 37% to $591.2 million |
| · | Net loss of $2.5 million or $(0.36) per diluted share compared to a net loss of $2.2 million or $(0.22) per diluted share |
First Quarter 2013 Financial Results
Net revenues in the first quarter of 2013 increased 35% to $111.6 million compared to $82.4 million in the first quarter of 2012.
Total non-GAAP gross revenues in the first quarter of 2013 increased 37% to $591.2 million compared to $432.1 million in the first quarter of 2012 (see “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below). The increase is due primarily to the continued build in the Company’s co-employed client count and same-store sales growth.
Net loss for the first quarter was $2.5 million or $(0.36) per diluted share compared to a net loss of $2.2 million or $(0.22) per diluted share in the year-ago quarter. The first quarter of 2013 reflected approximately 3.0 million fewer common shares outstanding when compared to the year-ago quarter due to the Company’s repurchase of approximately 2.5 million shares from the Estate of William W. Sherertz, as well as 500,000 shares from Nancy Sherertz, on March 28, 2012. The Company historically incurs losses in the first quarter due to the higher effective payroll taxes at the beginning of each year.
On March 31, 2013, the Company’s cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $78.3 million compared to $72.4 million at December 31, 2012. At March 31, 2013, the Company had no outstanding borrowings on its revolving credit facility.
Management Commentary
“The solid momentum we built throughout 2012 continued into the first quarter of 2013, as shown by our fifth consecutive quarter of gross revenue growth greater than 30%,” said Michael Elich, president and CEO of BBSI. “This growth can be attributed to a variety of factors, including continued strength in our referral channels, our high client retention rate and the maturation of our brand in the marketplace. Given this acceleration, we will continue to prudently invest in our operational infrastructure and professional talent throughout 2013 to support a much larger organization as we grow.”

Diluted income per common share in the second quarter of 2013 is expected to range between $0.68 and $0.72 compared to $0.53 in the second quarter of 2012.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the results prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the Company is disclosing non-GAAP gross revenues.
The Company reports its Professional Employer Service revenues on a net basis because it is not the primary obligor for the services provided by the Company’s co-employed clients to their customers. The gross revenues and cost of revenues information below, although not in accordance with GAAP, is presented for comparison purposes and because management believes such information is more informative as to the level of the Company’s business activity and more useful in managing its operations.
