Outlook for Third Quarter 2010
The Company also disclosed today limited financial guidance with respect to its operating results for the third quarter ending September 30, 2010. The Company expects gross revenues for the third quarter of 2010 to range from $313 million to $317 million, as compared to $273.1 million for the third quarter of 2009, and anticipates diluted earnings for the third quarter of 2010 to range from $.33 to $.36 per share, as compared to diluted income per share of $.28 for the same period a year ago. A reconciliation of estimated gross revenues to estimated GAAP net revenues for the third quarter of 2010 is not included because PEO revenues and cost of PEO revenues for the period are not reasonably estimable.
