Through July 31, 2017, the Company repurchased approximately 571 thousand shares of its common stock for approximately $8.2 million.

Jerry Grisko, CBIZ President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “We are pleased to record revenue growth of 7.4%, pre-tax income growth of 13.2%, and EPS growth of 15.8% for the first six months of this year compared with last year. This growth reflects generally favorable business conditions for small and midsized businesses and a healthy level of optimism among our clients. We’re pleased our clients continue to rely on us for advice and solutions to help them achieve their goals.”

Grisko continued, “We closed two acquisitions in the second quarter, CMF Associates (CMF) and Slaton Insurance (Slaton). CMF provides transaction and transition-focused financial, operational, and human capital consulting to middle-market private equity firms across the country.  CMF represents a strategic step in establishing CBIZ as an industry leader of advisory services in this space. Slaton is a South Florida-based property and casualty insurance agency and enhances our specialty consulting offerings to various industries including golf and country clubs.  In total, we completed three acquisitions in the first half of 2017 that are expected to contribute approximately $23 million of annualized revenue. With $140 million of unused financing capacity on our unsecured credit facility, we have the sufficient funding to continue our strategic acquisition program and focus on opportunities that further position and strengthen our core business and also present a higher potential for growth.”

2017 Outlook Update

For 2017, CBIZ continues to expect total revenue growth within a range of 6% to 8% compared with last year.  The Company’s effective tax rate for the first six months was 36% with the adoption of new stock compensation accounting under ASU 2016-09 in 2017.  A number of factors could cause volatility in the effective tax rate from time to time pursuant to ASU 2016-09, but the Company expects a full-year 2017 effective tax rate of approximately 36%, compared with the 39% to 40% range previously communicated.  As a result of the reduction in the effective tax rate, the Company is now increasing its expectation for income from continuing operations to grow within a range of 16% to 20%, compared with original guidance of 12% to 14% growth, and earnings per diluted share from continuing operations are now expected to grow within a range of 12% to 15% over the $0.76 reported for 2016, compared with original guidance of 8% to 10% growth. Fully-diluted weighted average share count for the 2017 full year is expected to increase to approximately 55.5 million shares.

Represents operating expenses not directly allocated to individual businesses, including stock-based compensation, consolidation and integration charges, and certain advertising expenses. "Operating expenses - unallocated" also include gains or losses attributable to the assets held in the Company's deferred compensation plan. These gains or losses do not impact "Income from continuing operations before income tax expense" as they are directly offset by the same adjustment to "Other income (expense), net" in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Net gains/losses recognized from adjustments to the fair value of the assets held in the deferred compensation plan are recorded as compensation expense in "Operating expenses" and as income in "Other income (expense), net".

DSO is provided for continuing operations and represents accounts receivable, net, 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 GAAP. DSO at June 30, 2016 was 83.
