- Q3 Net Revenues up 13% to $225.1 Million (Non-GAAP Gross Revenues up 17%) -
VANCOUVER, Washington, November 8, 2016 – Barrett Business Services, Inc. (“BBSI” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: BBSI), a leading provider of business management solutions, reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2016.
Third Quarter 2016 Financial Summary vs. Year-Ago Quarter
| · | Net revenues up 13% to $225.1 million. |
| · | Non-GAAP gross revenues up 17% to $1.2 billion. |
| · | Net income of $10.2 million or $1.38 per diluted share, compared to net income of $11.0 million or $1.49 per diluted share. Net income in the third quarter of 2016 included a $0.30 per diluted share expense for the settlement of a November 2014 class action shareholder lawsuit. |
“We are seeing consistency in our performance, which speaks to the depth of our operational teams,” said Michael Elich, president and CEO of BBSI. “In the third quarter, we saw 9.1% same-store sales growth and added 200 net new clients, supporting 17% gross revenue growth. Additionally, we continued to make progress on key initiatives, including paying off our term loan with Wells Fargo and adding a new member to our board of directors. We will continue to execute on our plan as we look towards 2017 and beyond.”
Third Quarter 2016 Financial Results
Net revenues in the third quarter of 2016 increased 13% to $225.1 million compared to $198.7 million in the third quarter of 2015.
Total non-GAAP gross revenues in the third quarter of 2016 increased 17% to $1.2 billion compared to $1.1 billion in the same year-ago quarter (see “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below). The increase was primarily due to the continued build in the Company’s client count and same-store sales growth.
Net income for the third quarter of 2016 was $10.2 million or $1.38 per diluted share, compared to net income of $11.0 million or $1.49 per diluted share in the year-ago quarter. The third quarter of 2016 included a $0.30 per diluted share expense for the recent settlement of a November 2014 class action shareholder lawsuit.
At September 30, 2016, the Company’s cash, cash equivalents, investments and restricted cash and investments increased 7% to $325.6 million compared to $305.3 million at December 31, 2015. Total debt was reduced significantly to $4.7 million compared to $19.8 million at the end of 2015 due to the full pay down of the Company’s $40.0 million term loan.
Outlook
Parting from the previous outlook of $3.50 per diluted share, the Company expects diluted earnings per share in 2016 to be $3.00, which includes an estimate of $8.2 million (approximately $0.76 per diluted share) for legal and accounting costs associated with financial restatements, changing auditors, outside investigations and legal proceedings related to securities law issues, and $3.3 million (approximately $0.30 per diluted share) for the shareholder litigation settlement. The Company reported $3.47 diluted earnings per share in 2015.

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 Services 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.
