Second Quarter 2013 Financial Results

 

Net revenues in the second quarter of 2013 increased 35% to $128.8 million compared to $95.5 million in the second quarter of 2012. The increase was due primarily to the continued build in the Company’s co-employed client count and same-store sales growth.

 

Total non-GAAP gross revenues in the second quarter of 2013 increased 37% to $675.0 million compared to $494.1 million in the second quarter of 2012 (see “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below).

 

Net income for the second quarter of 2013 increased 57% to $5.9 million compared to net income of $3.7 million in the year-ago quarter. Diluted earnings per share in the second quarter of 2013 increased 51% to $0.80 compared to $0.53 per diluted share in the year-ago quarter.

 

During the second quarter of 2013, the Company posted $63.9 million in restricted investments to collateralize a letter of credit issued to satisfy a surety requirement for its self-insured workers’ compensation program in the state of California. As a result, on June 30, 2013, the Company’s cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $18.6 million compared to $72.4 million at December 31, 2012. At June 30, 2013, the Company had no outstanding borrowings on its revolving credit facility.

 

Management Commentary

 

“The second quarter’s gross revenue figure was the highest in our company’s history and the sixth consecutive quarter we grew gross revenues by more than 30%,” said Michael Elich, president and CEO of BBSI. “We continue to see our strong referral channels drive new business, increased organic growth from existing clients, and heightened brand awareness within our markets. Investments in our operational infrastructure were an important contributor to the quarter’s results and will continue to be a strategic focus as we prepare for future growth. Ultimately, we are confident BBSI’s brand will continue to mature in the marketplace.”

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.
