CBIZ reported a loss from continuing operations of $0.6 million, or $0.01 per diluted share in the 2016 fourth quarter, compared with a loss of $0.8 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, for the same period a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter was $5.4 million, compared with $3.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2015.

For the full-year 2016, CBIZ reported revenue of $799.8 million, an increase of $49.4 million, or 6.6%, over the $750.4 million recorded for 2015.  Same-unit revenue increased by $19.5 million, or 2.6%, compared with the same period a year ago.  Acquisitions, net of divestitures, contributed $29.9 million, or 4.0%, to revenue growth. Income from continuing operations was $40.6 million, or $0.76 per diluted share, for 2016, compared with $35.0 million, or $0.66 per diluted share, for the same period a year ago.  Adjusted EBITDA was $94.8 million, compared with $87.0 million for 2015.

Jerry Grisko, CBIZ President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "2016 was another strong year for CBIZ. Our full-year results of 6.6% growth in revenue and 15.2% growth in earnings per diluted share were ahead of our expectations.  These results were bolstered by a strong fourth quarter, with revenue growth of 8.7%, and same-unit revenue growth of 2.9%. The positive results recorded in our Financial Services segment reflect continued strength in both government healthcare consulting and our core accounting services, while the growth in our Benefits and Insurance segment was driven primarily by acquisitions."

Grisko continued, "We completed two acquisitions during the fourth quarter, Actuarial Consultants, Inc., of Torrance, CA, which further enhances our position as a leading national provider of retirement planning services, and The Seff Group, which strengthens our financial services offerings in Denver, CO.  We are pleased with the performance of our acquisition activity to date, as the six acquisitions we closed during 2016 are expected to contribute approximately $41.0 million to annualized revenue. With our strong cash flow and current acquisition pipeline, we intend to continue to make strategic acquisitions that broaden our geographic footprint and enhance the services we provide to our clients."
