CBIZ REPORTS 2013 FOURTH-QUARTER AND YEAR-END RESULTS

FOURTH-QUARTER REVENUE UP 10.2%; FULL YEAR UP 10.5%

FOURTH-QUARTER SAME-UNIT REVENUE GROWS 2.5%; FULL YEAR UP 2.4%

FULL-YEAR DILUTED EPS FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS UP 24.4% VS. 2013 (NORMALIZED)

Cleveland, Ohio (February 11, 2014)—CBIZ, Inc. (NYSE: CBZ) today announced results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2013.

For the fourth quarter, CBIZ reported revenue of $149.8 million, an increase of $13.8 million, or 10.2%, over the $136.0 million reported for the fourth quarter of 2012. Same-unit revenue increased by $3.4 million, or 2.5% for the fourth quarter of 2013, compared with the same period a year ago. Newly acquired operations contributed $10.4 million to revenue in the 2013 fourth quarter. CBIZ reported a net loss from continuing operations of $3.2 million, or ($0.07) per diluted share in the 2013 fourth quarter, compared with net loss of $1.4 million, or ($0.03) per diluted share reported in the fourth quarter of 2012. Fourth-quarter results reported for 2012 included a non-recurring favorable legal settlement reflected in other income that impacted diluted earnings per share by $0.02.

CBIZ reported total revenue of $692.0 million for the full-year, an increase of $65.5 million, or 10.5%, compared with $626.5 million for the prior year. Same-unit revenue increased by $15.3 million, or 2.4%, compared with the same period a year ago. Newly acquired operations contributed $50.2 million to revenue during 2013. Net income from continuing operations was $0.51 per diluted share for the full-year 2013, compared with a normalized $0.41 per diluted share for the prior year, which excludes the after-tax gain on the sale of the Company’s Wealth Management business of $0.03 per diluted share and the impact of favorable legal settlements of $0.02 per diluted share in 2012 from the reported income from continuing operations of $0.46 per diluted share.

The sale of Company’s Medical Management Professionals (“MMP”) operations occurred on August 30, 2013. CBIZ financial data included in this release and prepared as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013, reflects the gain on sale, net of tax, and the results of MMP operations through the closing date, net of tax, as discontinued operations. Accordingly, assets and liabilities attributed to MMP operations are not included in the CBIZ financial data prepared as of December 31, 2013.


Steven L. Gerard, CBIZ Chairman and CEO stated, “We are extremely pleased to record very strong results for 2013. Organic revenue growth has improved in both our Financial and Employee Services groups. We achieved good performance from our acquired operations, and were able to expand margins. Excluding the $0.05 per diluted share of non-recurring items recorded in 2012, earnings per diluted share from continuing operations increased 24.4% in 2013 on total revenue growth of 10.5%. With the sale of MMP in August of 2013, we were able to dramatically reduce our leverage and now have greater financial flexibility to address strategic acquisition and other opportunities. We made two acquisitions in 2013, completed three acquisitions so far this year, and continue to actively evaluate a pipeline of additional acquisition candidates.”

At December 31, 2013, the outstanding balance on the Company’s $275.0 million unsecured bank line of credit was $48.5 million, compared with a balance of $208.9 million at December 31, 2012. During 2013, the Company used $20.7 million to fund acquisition-related payments, and $25.7 million to repurchase 3.85 million shares of its common stock from Westbury (Bermuda) Ltd. at a price of $6.65 per share.

Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share, which includes certain non-cash charges and credits to income from continuing operations, was $1.08 per diluted share for the year, compared with $0.92 per diluted share a year ago. A schedule reconciling non-GAAP earnings per diluted share with GAAP earnings per diluted share is attached. Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $75.6 million compared to $65.8 million for 2012.

Outlook for 2014: In 2014, the Company expects continued improvement in same-unit revenue growth rates, total revenue to grow within a range of 5% to 7%, and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations to grow within a range of 15% to 18% over 2013, assuming a constant share count compared with 2013. Cash flow will continue to be positive and Adjusted EBITDA is projected to increase within a range of 8% to 12% over the $75.6 million reported for 2013.

CBIZ will host a conference call at 11:00 a.m. today to discuss its results. The call will be webcast in a listen-only mode over the Internet for the media and the public, and can be accessed at www.cbiz.com.

(3) The Company believes Non-GAAP earnings and Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share more clearly illustrate the impact of certain non-cash charges and credits to “(loss) income from continuing operations” and are a useful measure for the Company and its analysts. Non-GAAP earnings is defined as (loss) income from continuing operations excluding: depreciation and amortization, non-cash interest expense, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, and adjustments to the fair value of contingent consideration related to prior acquisitions. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share is calculated by dividing Non-GAAP earnings by the number of weighted average diluted common shares outstanding for the period indicated. Non-GAAP earnings and Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share should not be regarded as a replacement or alternative to any measurement of performance under generally accepted accounting principles.
(4) Capital spending was $6.2 million and $2.6 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

(1) Certain amounts in the 2012 financial data have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation and revised to reflect the impact of adjustments to purchase price accounting related to 2012 acquisitions and of discontinued operations.
(2) Ratio is convertible notes, bank debt and notes payable divided by total stockholders’ equity.
(3) DSO is provided for continuing operations and represents accounts receivable, net and unbilled revenue (net of realization adjustments) at the end of the period, divided by 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.
