CBIZ Reports Second-Quarter And First-Half 2021 Results And Raises Full-Year 2021 Revenue Guidance

CLEVELAND, July 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- CBIZ, Inc. (NYSE: CBZ) (the "Company"), a leading provider of financial, insurance and advisory services, today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2021.

For the 2021 second quarter, CBIZ recorded revenue of $278.6 million, an increase of $41.7 million, or 17.6%, compared with the $236.9 million reported for the same period in 2020. Acquired operations, net of divestitures, contributed $16.9 million, or 7.1%, to second-quarter 2021 revenue growth. Same-unit revenue increased by $24.8 million, or 10.5%, for the quarter, compared with the same period a year ago. Income from continuing operations was $8.6 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, in the 2021 second quarter, compared with $21.5 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, for the same period a year ago. Income from continuing operations was impacted by two non-recurring items related to a settlement agreement and a divestiture.

As previously announced on June 30, 2021, the Company reached a settlement agreement with the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center ("UPMC") related to claims arising from a lawsuit filed in connection with actuarial services provided by a former employee in 2013. Net of insurance proceeds, the pretax charge related to this settlement in the second quarter was $30.5 million. In addition, on June 1, 2021, the Company divested a small, non-core wholesale insurance business and recorded a pretax gain of $6.4 million on the sale. Eliminating the impact of these non-recurring items, Adjusted EPS increased by 28.2% to $0.50, compared with $0.39 reported a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter increased by 19.5% to $42.9 million, compared with $35.9 million for the same period in 2020.

For the first-half ended June 30, 2021, CBIZ recorded revenue of $579.4 million, an increase of $65.0 million, or 12.6%, over the $514.4 million recorded for the same period in 2020. Acquisitions, net of divestitures, contributed $30.2 million, or 5.9%, to revenue growth in the six months ended June 30, 2021. Same-unit revenue increased by $34.8 million, or 6.8%, compared with the same period a year ago. Income from continuing operations was $58.8 million, or $1.09 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared with $58.3 million, or $1.05 per diluted share, for the same period a year ago. For the first half of 2021, Adjusted EPS was $1.43 per diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA was $116.2 million, compared with $92.9 million in 2020.

Reconciliation tables for Adjusted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measures can be found in the tables of this release.

During the first half of 2021, the Company repurchased a total of 2.0 million shares of its common stock. The balance outstanding on the Company's unsecured credit facility on June 30, 2021, was $163.3 million with $233.4 million of unused borrowing capacity.

Jerry Grisko, CBIZ President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "I am pleased to report another quarter of exceptional results for CBIZ."

"Since the onset of the pandemic, we have focused our efforts on protecting our team, supporting our clients and continuing to invest in the growth of the business. The results that we have achieved through the first six months of this year reflect those efforts and investments. Given the growth we are seeing across virtually every service line combined with our successful acquisition activity, we are increasing our revenue guidance for the full year 2021 to 10% to 12% growth, up from our previous guidance of an 8% to 10% increase, Grisko, said."

"We are particularly pleased to have successfully completed four acquisitions this year, including three in the second quarter. On June 3rd, we announced our most recent acquisition of Optumas, a leading provider of actuarial and consulting services to state governments related to the administration of their Medicaid programs. Optumas is a complement to our government health care consulting business and will allow us to offer more comprehensive solutions to our clients. Together, the acquisitions that we have completed so far this year are expected to generate approximately $42 million in annualized revenue. Acquisitions remain a critical component of our overall strategy and our pipeline of potential opportunities is as strong as ever," concluded Grisko.

2021 Outlook

  • The Company increased its revenue growth expectations to within a range of 10% to 12% over the prior year, up from 8% to 10%.
  • Although a number of 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 54.0 million shares.
  • On a GAAP basis, the Company expects full-year fully diluted earnings per share within a range of $1.25 to $1.29. The Company expects Adjusted Diluted EPS to grow within a range of 12% to 15% over the $1.42 reported for 2020. A schedule reconciling GAAP Diluted EPS to Non-GAAP Adjusted Diluted EPS is attached.

Represents operating expenses not directly allocated to individual businesses, including stock-based compensation, consolidation and integration charges, and certain advertising expenses. "Operating expenses - unallocated" also includes gains or losses attributable to the assets held in a rabbi trust associated with the Company's deferred compensation plan. These gains or losses do not impact "Income from continuing operations before income tax expense" as they are directly offset by the same adjustment to "Other income (expense), net" in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Net gains/losses recognized from adjustments to the fair value of the assets held in the rabbi trust are recorded as compensation expense (income) in "Operating expenses" and "Corporate, general and administrative expenses," and offset in "Other income (expense), net."

CBIZ reports its financial results in accordance with GAAP. This table reconciles Adjusted Income and Adjusted EPS to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, "Income from continuing operations" and "Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations." Adjusted Income and Adjusted EPS are not defined by GAAP and should not be regarded as an alternative or replacement to any measurement of performance under GAAP. Adjusted Income and Adjusted EPS, which excludes significant non-operating related gains and losses, are used by the Company for its shareholders and debt holders as a performance measure to evaluate, assess and benchmark the Company's operational results.
