CBIZ Reports Second-Quarter And First-Half 2019 Results

Jerry Grisko, CBIZ President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are pleased with our ability to grow revenue in the second quarter and first half of 2019 over the historic strong results achieved last year. Further, we successfully leveraged this growth into higher margins and reported an increase in earnings per share of 30.4% for the second quarter and 11.5% for the first half of the year. We also closed three acquisitions to date this year and our acquisition pipeline remains full with potential transactions under review."

Grisko continued, "While first-half revenue growth from our recurring businesses was generally in line with our expectations, our total rate of growth was impacted by softness in one service line within our Private Equity Advisory business as well as contingent revenue within our Benefits and Insurance segment compared to the same period a year ago. As a result, we now expect full-year 2019 revenue growth to be in the range of 3% to 4% over the prior year. Notwithstanding this nominal reduction in our revenue expectations, we expect growth in earnings per share to be near the high end of our 10% to 12% full-year guidance range."

2019 Outlook

• The Company expects growth in total revenue within a range of 3% to 4% over the prior year.
• Although several factors may impact the tax rate, the Company expects an effective tax rate of approximately 25%.
• The Company expects a weighted average fully diluted share count of approximately 55.5 to 56.0 million shares.
• The Company expects to grow fully diluted earnings per share within a range of 10% to 12% over the $1.09 reported for 2018.
