Description of Business: CBIZ, Inc., together with all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries ("CBIZ", the "Company", "we", "us", or "our"), is a diversified services company which, acting through its subsidiaries, has been providing professional business services since 1996, primarily to small and medium-sized businesses, as well as individuals, governmental entities, and not-for-profit enterprises throughout the United States and parts of Canada. CBIZ, Inc. manages and reports its operations along three practice groups: Financial Services, Benefits and Insurance Services and National Practices. A further description of products and services offered by each of the practice groups is provided in Note 11, Segment Disclosures.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we completed the acquisitions of Erickson, Brown & Kloster, LLC ("EBK") and CompuData, Inc. ("CompuData") in our Financial Services practice group and Educational & Institutional Insurance Administrator, Inc.'s EIIA Higher Education Benefit Trust ("EIIA") in our Benefits and Insurance practice group for a total aggregated purchase price of $40.1 million, including $15.2 million recorded as contingent consideration. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded $21.2 million in total revenue from those acquisitions. None of the acquisitions are considered material, individually or in the aggregate.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we completed the sale of CBIZ KA Consulting Services, LLC, which was a component of our National Practice segment. As a result of the transaction, we recorded a gain of $4.95 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. The gain was recorded in "Gain on sale of operations, net" on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Proceeds from the sale were classified as cash provided by investing activities from continuing operations in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Basis of Consolidation: The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the operations of CBIZ, Inc. and all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries after elimination of all intercompany balances and transactions. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect the operations or accounts of variable interest entities as the impact is not material to the financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows of CBIZ.

Unaudited Interim Financial Statements: The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and applicable rules and regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. As such, the information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

In the opinion of CBIZ management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods presented, but are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be anticipated for the full year ending December 31, 2024.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Changes in circumstances could cause actual results to differ materially from these estimates.

Changes in Accounting Policies: We have consistently applied the accounting policies for the periods presented as described in Note 1, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
