InnerWorkings Announces First Quarter 2018 Results
Cash flow provided by operating activities was a record $50.2 million for the trailing 12-month period
CHICAGO, IL - July 31, 2018 - InnerWorkings, Inc. (NASDAQ: INWK), the leading global marketing execution firm, today announced financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2018. For all non-GAAP references below, please refer to the non-GAAP reconciliation tables at the end of this release for more information.

“My first few months as CEO have confirmed to me that the market opportunity has never been better for InnerWorkings,” said Chief Executive Officer Rich Stoddart. “We continue to grow our gross and net revenue and win additional work, but our growth in operating expense is unacceptable in my view and we are taking the necessary actions to put us on a path to maximize shareholder value.”
Financial and Business Highlights

Gross revenue was $274.5 million, an increase of 4% compared to $264.4 million in the first quarter of 2017. 
Gross profit (net revenue) was $66.1 million, or 24.1% of gross revenue in the first quarter of 2018, a 2% increase compared to $64.7 million, or 24.5% of revenue, in the same period of last year.
Net loss for the first quarter of 2018 was $(1.7) million, or $(0.03) per diluted share, compared to net income of $5.7 million, or $0.10 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2017.
Non-GAAP loss per diluted share for the first quarter was $(0.02), compared to earnings of $0.08 in the first quarter of 2017.
Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was $7.4 million in the first quarter 2018, compared to $12.5 million in the first quarter of 2017.
Cash flow provided by operating activities was $34.3 million in the first quarter of 2018, compared to $0.1 million in the same quarter of last year. Cash flow provided by operating activities for the trailing twelve months ended March 31, 2018 was a record $50.2 million.
InnerWorkings has been awarded additional work from new and existing clients so far during 2018, which collectively is expected to exceed $70 million of annual revenue at full run-rate.
“Our first quarter financial results reflect initial investments we are making to drive operational improvements, but also the need for aggressive actions to lower our SG&A expenses,” said Chip Hodgkins, Interim Chief Financial Officer of InnerWorkings. “We are in the final stages of developing a plan and leveraging third-party expertise to reduce our cost structure while driving returns for our clients and our shareholders. We will provide further details in conjunction with our second quarter 2018 financial results.”

Outlook

The Company is lowering its 2018 guidance for gross revenue to a range of $1.155 billion and $1.190 billion, down from previous guidance of $1.195 billion and $1.230 billion, representing growth of 1% to 4% compared to 2017. This decrease in guidance is mainly due to a significant reduction in marketing spend from one of the Company's largest clients. Due to growth in SG&A expenses, 2018 profitability is expected to be lower than 2017. Following completion of a cost reduction and business improvement plan currently being developed, the Company expects to provide specific 2018 guidance for non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share.

Conference Call

Rich Stoddart, Chief Executive Officer, and Chip Hodgkins, Interim Chief Financial Officer, will host a conference call to discuss the results today at 4:00 p.m. Central time (5:00 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.
