BBSI Reports Second Quarter 2016 Financial Results

 

- Q2 Net Revenues up 12% to $203.4 Million (Non-GAAP Gross Revenues up 17%) -

 

VANCOUVER, Washington, August 9, 2016 – Barrett Business Services, Inc. (“BBSI” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: BBSI), a leading provider of business management solutions, reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2016.

 

Second Quarter 2016 Financial Summary vs. Year-Ago Quarter

 

· Net revenues up 12% to $203.4 million.

 

· Non-GAAP gross revenues up 17% to $1.1 billion.

 

· Net income of $8.5 million or $1.16 per diluted share, compared to net income of $8.9 million or $1.21 per diluted share. Net income in the second quarter of 2016 included $0.24 per diluted share in legal and accounting costs associated with financial restatements, outside investigations and legal proceedings related to securities law issues.

 

“We are seeing consistency in our performance, which we believe is the result of focused attention on our referral channels and the depth of our operational teams,” said Michael Elich, president and CEO of BBSI. “In the second quarter, we saw 8.7% same-store sales growth, and added 266 net new clients, supporting 17% gross revenue growth. We continue to execute on our plan as we look towards the remainder of 2016 and beyond.”

 

Second Quarter 2016 Financial Results

 

Net revenues in the second quarter of 2016 increased 12% to $203.4 million compared to $182.0 million in the second quarter of 2015.

 

Total non-GAAP gross revenues in the second quarter of 2016 increased 17% to $1.1 billion compared to $971.9 million in the same year-ago quarter (see “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below). The increase was primarily due to the continued build in the Company’s client count and same-store sales growth, partially offset by an 11% decline in staffing services revenue.

 

Net income for the second quarter of 2016 was $8.5 million or $1.16 per diluted share, compared to net income of $8.9 million or $1.21 per diluted share in the year-ago quarter. The second quarter of 2016 included $0.24 per diluted share in legal and accounting costs associated with financial restatements, outside investigations and legal proceedings related to securities law issues.

 

At June 30, 2016, the Company’s restricted and unrestricted cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities, and restricted securities totaled $296.7 million compared to $305.3 million at December 31, 2015. Total debt was $12.2 million compared to $19.8 million at the end of 2015.

 

12-Month Outlook

 

BBSI continues to expect non-GAAP gross revenues for the next 12-month period (through June 30, 2017) to increase approximately 18%. For the full year 2016, the Company continues to expect diluted earnings per share to be $3.50, which includes an estimate of $6.4 million (approximately $0.57 per diluted share) for legal and accounting costs associated with financial restatements, outside investigations and legal proceedings related to securities law issues. The Company reported $3.47 diluted earnings per share in 2015.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

In addition to the results prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the Company is disclosing non-GAAP gross revenues.

 

The Company reports its Professional Employer Services revenues on a net basis because it is not the primary obligor for the services provided by the Company’s co-employed clients to their customers. The gross revenues and cost of revenues information below, although not in accordance with GAAP, is presented for comparison purposes and because management believes such information is more informative as to the level of the Company’s business activity and more useful in managing its operations.
