CLEVELAND (August 2, 2018) – CBIZ, Inc. (NYSE: CBZ) (the “Company”) today announced second-quarter and first-half results for the period ended June 30, 2018.

 

For the 2018 second quarter, CBIZ reported revenue of $232.6 million, an increase of $21.6 million, or 10.2%, over the $211.0 million reported in 2017. Same-unit revenue increased by $12.4 million, or 5.9%, for the quarter, compared with the same period a year ago. Newly acquired operations contributed $9.2 million, or 4.3%, to revenue in the quarter. CBIZ reported income from continuing operations of $13.1 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, in the 2018 second quarter, compared with $11.4 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, for the same period a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter was $24.1 million, compared with $23.1 million for the second quarter of 2017.

 

For the first half of 2018, CBIZ reported revenue of $498.7 million, an increase of $46.3 million, or 10.2%, over the $452.4 million recorded for 2017. Same-unit revenue increased by $26.4 million, or 5.8%, compared with the same period a year ago. Acquisitions contributed $19.9 million, or 4.4%, to revenue growth in the first six months. Income from continuing operations was $48.9 million, or $0.87 per diluted share, for the first half

of 2018, compared with $36.4 million, or $0.66 per diluted share, for the same period a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA was $79.9 million, compared with $71.4 million for 2017.

 

During the second quarter and first half of 2018, the Company incurred expenses of $1.9 million and $2.8 million, respectively, due to the increase in share price from $18.25 at March 30, 2018 to $23.00 at June 30, 2018. The Company is required to mark-to-market potential future share issuances related to contingent acquisition earnout liabilities, as well as share equivalents in the Company’s non-executive equity aligned cash bonus plan. These items are primarily reflected in Other (expense) income, net, with a small portion reflected in Operating expense.  

 

Jerry Grisko, CBIZ President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Our strong performance in the second-quarter and first-half is a result of a healthy level of optimism among our clients, favorable business conditions and the unique value proposition CBIZ brings to our clients. We are pleased to continue to see strong demand for our core services, for advice and planning in connection with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 and for our advisory services.”

 

Grisko continued, “We have closed two acquisitions to date in 2018 that are expected to contribute approximately $9.1 million of annual revenue. Since June of 2017, we have acquired five businesses that are expected to contribute approximately $33.4 million of annualized revenue. We are pleased with the performance of our acquired businesses, and with approximately $200 million of unused financing capacity on our unsecured credit facility, we have sufficient funding to continue to pursue additional acquisition opportunities that will further position and strengthen our core business and enhance future growth.”

2018 Outlook

 

The Company expects growth in total revenue to be near the high end of a range of 5% to 8%.

 

 

The Company expects to report an effective tax rate of approximately 25% as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, although a number of factors may impact the tax rate. The Company expects a weighted average fully diluted share count of approximately 56.0 million shares for full-year 2018.

 

 

The Company expects to achieve growth in fully diluted earnings per share within a range of 13% to 17% over the $0.92 reported for 2017. Adjusted for the one-time 2017 impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the Company expects to achieve growth within a range of 20% to 24% over the adjusted $0.87 reported for 2017.

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, 2017 was 83.
