CBIZ, Inc. (NYSE: CBZ) today announced third-quarter and nine-month results for the period ended September 30, 2017.

For the 2017 third quarter, CBIZ reported revenue of $207.7 million, an increase of $7.9 million, or 4.0%, over the $199.8 million reported in 2016. Same-unit revenue decreased by $1.7 million, or 0.8%, for the quarter, compared with the same period a year ago. Newly acquired operations contributed $9.6 million, or 4.8%, to revenue in the quarter. CBIZ reported income from continuing operations of $9.9 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, in the 2017 third quarter, compared with $11.0 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, for the same period a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter was $23.7 million, compared with $25.4 million for the third quarter of 2016.

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, CBIZ reported revenue of $660.2 million, an increase of $39.2 million, or 6.3%, over the $621.0 million recorded for 2016. Same-unit revenue increased by $10.6 million, or 1.7%, compared with the same period a year ago. Acquisitions contributed $28.6 million, or 4.6%, to revenue growth in the first nine months.  Income from continuing operations was $46.3 million, or $0.83 per diluted share, for the first nine months of 2017, compared with $41.2 million, or $0.77 per diluted share, for the same period a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA was $95.1 million, compared with $89.4 million for 2016.

Jerry Grisko, CBIZ President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are pleased with the total growth in revenue, income from operations, and earnings per share through the first nine months of the year. However, our third quarter results were adversely impacted by a number of factors, which included extended office closures in Florida related to Hurricane Irma and temporary delays in several of our large government healthcare consulting contracts. The impact of these factors on our third-quarter results is estimated to be approximately $4.0 million of revenue and $0.04 to $0.05 in earnings per diluted share."

Grisko continued, "Going forward, the work related to the government healthcare consulting contracts has resumed and we expect the full-year performance of this business will be consistent with expectations. In addition, the IRS has granted an extension for the tax filing due dates for those areas impacted by Irma, which should allow us to capture a portion of the revenue generated by the impacted offices. Notwithstanding these events, we expect total revenue, income from continuing operations and earnings per share to be near the low end of our 2017 outlook."

Grisko concluded, "Aside from the temporary delays and storms in Florida, we are generally pleased with the performance of our core business throughout the first nine months of this year. We are also very pleased with the performance of the three acquisitions made this year that are expected to contribute approximately $23 million of annualized revenue. We continue to pursue an active pipeline of strategic acquisitions to further position and strengthen our core business and provide opportunities for enhanced growth in 2018 and beyond."

2017 Outlook

For full-year 2017, CBIZ continues to expect total revenue growth within a range of 6% to 8% compared with last year.

The Company's effective tax rate for the first nine months was 36.5% with the adoption of new stock compensation accounting under ASU 2016-09 in 2017. A number of factors could cause volatility in the effective tax rate from time to time pursuant to ASU 2016-09. Although the effective tax rate for the third quarter was 38.5%, the Company continues to expect a full-year 2017 effective tax rate of approximately 36%. 

As a result of the reduction in the effective tax rate for 2017, the Company expects income from continuing operations to grow within a range of 16% to 20%, compared to 2016, and earnings per diluted share from continuing operations are expected to grow within a range of 12% to 15% over the $0.76 per diluted share reported for 2016. Fully-diluted weighted average share count for the 2017 full-year is expected to be approximately 55.5 million shares.
