Fiscal Year Highlights:

 

   

Reported revenue for the year was $400.4 million including a $5.7 million one-time correction in the third quarter of 2009 of a 2008 revenue accrual related to one customer. Adjusted revenue generated during fiscal 2009 excluding this one-time correction was $406.1 million. Please refer to the non-GAAP reconciliation table below for more information.

 

   

Revenue from new accounts was $51.6 million for the year exceeding the Company’s 2009 goal of $50 million.

 

   

The number of enterprise clients increased by 30 during 2009 to 172 total.

Eric D. Belcher, Chief Executive Officer of InnerWorkings, said, “I am proud of the way the Company navigated the harsh economic conditions in 2009. We reacted quickly and decisively early in the year to take out costs and drive operating efficiencies while still aggressively pursuing new customers and maintaining the superior customer service that InnerWorkings is known for. Due to this strategy we are entering 2010 in a strong financial condition, with increased market share and an outstanding customer retention rate. The entire organization is energized and excited about executing on our growth strategy in the coming year.”

Additional fourth quarter 2009 financial and operational highlights include the following:

 

   

For the fourth quarter of 2009, 71 percent of the Company’s revenue was generated from sales to enterprise clients, with the remaining 29 percent derived from transactional clients.

 

   

The Company conducted business with all 25 of its top 25 customers from the year-earlier period reflecting strong customer retention.

 

   

As of December 31, 2009, the Company had an outstanding balance of $46.4 million on its $75.0 million bank credit facility and retains cash and retained short-term investments of $26.4 million.

“In 2009, we responded to rapidly changing demand conditions by exercising tight capital discipline and aggressively targeting operating costs,” said Joseph M. Busky, Chief Financial Officer of InnerWorkings. “These actions facilitated revenue and adjusted diluted EPS results that fell within our guidance range and streamlined the business to generate strong cash flow and improve return on invested capital, providing InnerWorkings with the flexibility to scale-up as market conditions continue to strengthen in 2010.”
