CLEVELAND, July 27, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- CBIZ, Inc. (NYSE: CBZ) today announced results for the second quarter and first half ended June 30, 2011.

CBIZ reported revenue of $183.1 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011, an increase of 1.7% over the $180.1 million recorded for the second quarter of 2010. Revenue from newly acquired operations, net of divestitures, contributed $1.7 million to revenue growth in the second quarter compared with the same period a year ago. Same-unit revenue increased by 0.8%, or $1.3 million in the second quarter, compared to the same period a year ago. CBIZ reported income from continuing operations for the quarter of $6.9 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, compared with $7.0 million, or $0.11 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2010.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, CBIZ reported revenue of $393.0 million, an increase of 0.9% over the $389.5 million recorded for the comparable six-month period a year ago. Same-unit revenue decreased by 0.4%, or $1.7 million, for the first six months of 2011 compared to the same period a year ago. Acquisitions, net of divestitures, contributed $5.3 million to revenue growth for the first half of 2011. Net income from continuing operations was $25.0 million for the first six months of 2011, or $0.50 per diluted share, compared with $23.9 million for the first six months of 2010, or $0.39 per diluted share. First half results for 2010 included a charge of approximately $0.02 per share for lease restructuring activities in connection with the acquisition of Goldstein Lewin & Company in Boca Raton, Florida.

Cash earnings per share from continuing operations, a non-GAAP measure that includes the impact of major non-cash charges to earnings, was $0.29 per diluted share for the second quarter 2011, compared to $0.23 for the second quarter a year ago, and was $0.78 per diluted share for the first six months of 2011, compared with $0.63 for the six months a year ago. EBITDA for the quarter was $21.3 million and for the six months ended June 30, 2011, EBITDA was $60.2 million. The calculations for these items are outlined in the schedules attached.

At June 30, 2011 the amount outstanding on the Company's $275.0 million unsecured credit facility was $149.0 million compared with $118.9 million at December 31, 2010. The Company used $11.3 million of funds for acquisition-related earn out payments and used $39.2 million to retire outstanding amounts on its 3.125% Convertible Notes in the first half of 2011. The Company made no share repurchases in the first half of 2011.

Steven L. Gerard, CBIZ Chairman and CEO stated, "We are pleased to report a 27% increase in earnings per share for the second quarter, and adjusted for the lease restructuring charge incurred in the first half of 2010, we reported a 22% increase in earnings per share for the first six months of 2011 compared with a year ago. Our cash flow continues to be strong and we are pleased to report $60.2 million of EBITDA for the first six months of this year."

"Our businesses are performing as expected and we are very pleased to have announced yesterday the acquisition of Thompson Dunavant, a $15.0 million financial services firm located in Memphis, Tennessee. They will be a great addition to the CBIZ team. We continue to actively evaluate a pipeline of potential acquisitions and, as we have consistently done in recent years, we expect to close three to five transactions during 2011.

"Our first half results were strong; however, the economic environment for most of our clients has not yet shown significant improvement. Accordingly, we continue to expect full-year EPS to increase within a range of 10% to 15% over the $0.52 EPS recorded for 2010," concluded Gerard.

(3) The Company believes cash earnings and cash earnings per diluted share (non-GAAP measures) more clearly illustrate the impact of certain non-cash charges and credits to income from continuing operations and are a useful measure for the Company and its analysts. Cash earnings is defined as income from continuing operations excluding: depreciation and amortization, non-cash interest expense, non-cash stock based compensation expense, adjustments to the fair value of contingent consideration due related to prior acquisitions, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the portion of the $1.8 million restructuring charge to be paid in future periods related to the 2010 acquisition of Goldstein Lewin. Cash earnings per diluted share is calculated by dividing cash earnings by the number of weighted average diluted common shares outstanding for the period indicated. Cash earnings and cash earnings per diluted share should not be regarded as a replacement or alternative of performance under generally accepted accounting principles.
