CBIZ REPORTS 2009 THIRD-QUARTER AND NINE-MONTH RESULTS
THIRD-QUARTER REVENUE GROWS 6.5%; EPS FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS UP 14.3%
CASH EPS INCREASES 31.3%
Cleveland, Ohio (October 29, 2009)—CBIZ, Inc. (NYSE: CBZ) today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2009.
CBIZ reported revenue of $179.0 million for the third quarter ended September 30, 2009, an increase of 6.5% over the $168.2 million reported for the third quarter of 2008. Revenue from newly acquired operations, net of divestitures, contributed $22.7 million or 13.5% to revenue growth in the third quarter compared with the same period a year ago. Same-unit revenue declined by 7.0%, or $11.8 million. CBIZ reported income from continuing operations for the quarter of $5.1 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, compared with $4.3 million, or $0.07 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2008.
For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009, CBIZ reported revenue of $588.3 million, an increase of 8.8%, or $47.6 million over the $540.7 million reported for the comparable nine-month period a year ago. Same-unit revenue decreased by 4.6%, or $24.6 million, for the first nine months of 2009 compared to the same period a year ago. Acquisitions, net of divestitures, contributed $72.1 million to revenue growth for the first nine months of 2009. Net income from continuing operations was $29.8 million for the first nine months of 2009, or $0.48 per diluted share, compared with $28.0 million for the first nine months of 2008, or $0.45 per diluted share.
During the third quarter of 2009, the Company repurchased 890 thousand shares of its common stock at a cost of approximately $6.0 million and for the year to date, the Company has repurchased approximately 1.7 million shares at a cost of approximately $12.7 million. The outstanding balance of the Company’s unsecured bank line of credit at September 30, 2009, was $115.7 million compared with a balance of $125.0 million at December 31, 2008.
The Company is reporting Cash EPS, a non-GAAP measure designed to more clearly illustrate the impact of certain non-cash charges to income from continuing operations. For the quarter ended September 30, 2009, Cash EPS was $0.21 per diluted share compared with $0.16 per diluted share for the same quarter a year ago, an increase of 31.3%. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009, Cash EPS was $0.83 per

 

 

diluted share compared with $0.71 for the comparable nine-month period a year ago, an increase of 16.9%. A schedule which reconciles Cash EPS with GAAP EPS is attached.
“We are happy to report continued growth in revenue and in earnings throughout 2009. The acquisitions we made in 2008 are performing well and we are pleased to have closed two additional acquisitions to date in 2009,” stated Steven L. Gerard, Chairman and CEO. “We continue to generate strong positive cash flow in 2009, and given the challenges presented by economic conditions, we are continuing to carefully manage expenses. For the full year in 2009, we expect to report earnings per share from continuing operations of approximately $0.54 to $0.55, which is an increase of approximately 8% to 10% compared with 2008,” concluded Mr. Gerard.

(3)   The Company believes cash earnings and cash earnings per diluted share (non-GAAP measures) more clearly illustrate the impact of certain non-cash charges to income from continuing operations and are a useful measure for the Company and its analysts. Cash earnings is defined as income from continuing operations excluding depreciation and amortization, non-cash interest expense and non-cash stock based compensation expense. Cash earnings per diluted share is calculated by dividing cash earnings by the number of weighted average diluted common shares outstanding for the period indicated. Cash earnings and cash earnings per diluted share should not be regarded as a replacement or alternative of performance under generally accepted accounting principles.

The calculation of DSO for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2008 excludes accounts receivable, unbilled revenue and daily revenue for the two businesses that were acquired on December 31, 2008. 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 generally accepted accounting principles. DSO at September 30, 2008 was 71 days.
