InnerWorkings Announces Second Quarter 2016 Results
Record second quarter gross profit increased 10%; expanded scope with several existing clients

CHICAGO, IL - August 15, 2016 - InnerWorkings, Inc. (NASDAQ: INWK), the leading global marketing execution firm, today announced financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2016. For all Non-GAAP references below, please refer to the non-GAAP reconciliation tables at the end of this release for more information.

Financial Highlights
Gross revenue was $269.2 million in the second quarter, an increase of 6.7% compared with $252.2 million in the second quarter of 2015.  Year-to-date gross revenue was $540.3 million, a 9.3% increase compared with $494.3 million in the prior period.

Gross profit (net revenue) was $65.1 million, or 24.2% of gross revenue in the second quarter, a 10.4% increase compared to $59.0 million, or 23.4% of gross revenue, in the same period of last year. Year-to-date gross profit (net revenue) was $127.0 million, or 23.5% of gross revenue, an increase of 11.4% compared to the prior-year period.

Diluted net loss per share was $0.04 and diluted net loss was $2.3 million in the second quarter, mainly due to a $7.3 million increase in our earnout obligation due to the strong performance of our previously-acquired businesses. Year-to-date net loss per share was $0.09 and net loss was $5.0 million, primarily due to a $9.2 million increase in our earnout obligation and a $3.6 million after-tax charge related to the global realignment strategy.

Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share were $0.11 in the second quarter, an increase of 37.5% compared to $0.08 in the second quarter of 2015. Year-to-date non-GAAP diluted earnings per share were $0.15, an increase of 66.7% compared to $0.09 in the same period of 2015.

Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was $14.8 million, reflecting 10.3% growth as compared to $13.4 million in the second quarter of 2015. Year-to-date non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was $26.5 million, an increase of 22.5% compared to $21.6 million in the same period of 2015.

Business Highlights
InnerWorkings has continued to sign new enterprise contracts in recent months, bringing the year-to-date collective total to more than $60 million of annual gross revenue at full run-rate, with nearly half stemming from expanded relationships with active clients.

The largest of the new contracts is an expansion of the Company's long-term business relationship with a large food and beverage company, sourcing events and promotions, as well as providing all branded merchandise and printed materials in an additional 16 countries throughout Latin America.

The Company hired a team of executives in Japan during August to initiate its business plan to reach new customers and begin supporting existing clients in the Japanese market, similar to previous successful launches the Company has executed in other international markets.

“We continue to win more business with new and existing clients on the strength of our global capabilities and our technology,” said Eric D. Belcher, Chief Executive Officer of InnerWorkings. “The expansion of our work with the large food and beverage company demonstrates our commitment to serve as an extension of our clients’ brands, executing comprehensive marketing campaigns all around the world.”

“Our second quarter financial results reflect continued strong execution of our strategy,” said Jeffrey P. Pritchett, Chief Financial Officer of InnerWorkings. “We are on track to achieve our financial targets for 2016 with additional profit improvement in the second half of the year, particularly in our International segment where the combination of a more efficient hub structure and strong organic growth is starting to create meaningful operating leverage.”






Outlook
The Company’s guidance for 2016 remains unchanged. InnerWorkings expects 2016 annual revenue to range between $1.06 billion and $1.08 billion, non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA to be between $58.0 million and $62.0 million, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share to be $0.30 to $0.33.

Conference Call
Eric D. Belcher, Chief Executive Officer, and Jeffrey P. Pritchett, Chief Financial Officer, will host a conference call to discuss the results today at 4:30 p.m. Central time (5:30 p.m. Eastern time).
The phone number to access the conference call is (877) 771-7024. A live audio webcast of the call will be available through InnerWorkings’ website at http://investor.inwk.com/events.cfm. A replay of the webcast will be available later today at the same location.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes the following financial measures defined as “non-GAAP financial measures” by the Securities and Exchange Commission: Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share. We believe these measures provide useful information to investors because they provide information about the estimated financial performance of the Company's ongoing business. These measures are used by management in its financial and operational decision-making and evaluation of overall operating performance. The presentation of this financial information, which is not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles, is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest comparable GAAP measures, please see the reconciliation of Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP Diluted Earnings Per Share included in this release.

The Company has not quantitatively reconciled its guidance for non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA or non-GAAP diluted earnings per share to their most comparable GAAP measure because the Company does not provide specific guidance for the various reconciling items as certain items that impact these measures have not occurred, are out of the Company’s control, or cannot be reasonably predicted. Accordingly, a reconciliation to the nearest GAAP financial metric is not available without unreasonable effort. Please note that the unavailable reconciling items could significantly impact the Company’s financial results.

We can give no assurance that any future results discussed in these statements will be achieved.
