CBIZ (NYSE: CBZ) reported strong first-quarter 2025 results with significant growth across key metrics. Total revenue surged 69.5% to $838.0 million, compared to $494.3 million in Q1 2024. Net income increased 59.7% to $122.8 million ($1.91 per diluted share), up from $76.9 million ($1.53 per diluted share) year-over-year.

The company's Adjusted EBITDA doubled to $237.6 million, while Adjusted net income grew 79.7% to $147.2 million ($2.29 per diluted share). The Marcum integration is proceeding as planned with strong employee and client retention rates.

However, due to economic and geopolitical uncertainties affecting non-recurring service lines, CBIZ revised its 2025 outlook, projecting full-year revenue between $2.8 billion to $2.95 billion, with adjusted EPS expected between $3.60 to $3.65.

L'integrazione con Marcum procede secondo i piani, con tassi elevati di fidelizzazione di dipendenti e clienti.

Tuttavia, a causa delle incertezze economiche e geopolitiche che influenzano le linee di servizio non ricorrenti, CBIZ ha rivisto le previsioni per il 2025, stimando un fatturato annuo compreso tra 2,8 e 2,95 miliardi di dollari, con un utile per azione rettificato previsto tra 3,60 e 3,65 dollari.

하지만 비반복 서비스 라인에 영향을 미치는 경제 및 지정학적 불확실성으로 인해 CBIZ는 2025년 전망을 수정하여 연간 매출을 28억 달러에서 29억 5천만 달러 사이로 예상하며, 조정 주당순이익은 3.60달러에서 3.65달러 사이로 전망하고 있습니다.

Insights

CBIZ delivers exceptional Q1 financial results while cautioning about economic headwinds impacting future service demand.

CBIZ's first-quarter 2025 results demonstrate remarkable financial performance across all key metrics. Revenue surged 69.5% year-over-year to $838.0 million, while net income increased 59.7% to $122.8 million. The company's profitability metrics show particularly strong momentum, with Adjusted EBITDA doubling to $237.6 million and Adjusted EPS rising 40.5% to $2.29.

The gap between revenue growth (69.5%) and GAAP EPS growth (24.8%) reflects changes in share count, as indicated by their guidance of 64.5-65.0 million weighted average fully diluted shares for 2025. This dilution effect explains why per-share metrics haven't kept pace with top-line expansion.

A critical operational highlight is the Marcum integration proceeding on schedule with strong employee and client retention rates. This indicates effective execution of what appears to be a significant operational integration that has substantially expanded CBIZ's scale.

Despite the strong Q1 performance, CBIZ's forward guidance suggests caution regarding the remainder of 2025. Management explicitly notes that "uncertainty in the current economic and geopolitical environment has already begun to impact non-recurring service lines, a trend that is expected to continue." This has influenced their full-year revenue projection of $2.8 billion to $2.95 billion.

The full-year guidance for Adjusted EBITDA ($450-456 million) implies that Q1's $237.6 million represents over half of the expected annual total. This suggests a significant shift in quarterly performance patterns for the remainder of the year, likely related to the economic headwinds affecting non-recurring services.

CBIZ's transparency about these challenges while still delivering exceptional growth metrics demonstrates management's ability to execute effectively even while navigating uncertain conditions. Their detailed guidance provides clarity on expectations for the remainder of 2025 as they balance strong current performance with prudence regarding future quarters.

FIRST-QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS:

  • TOTAL REVENUE UP 69.5%
  •  NET INCOME UP 59.7%; GAAP DILUTED EPS UP 24.8%
  •  ADJUSTED EBITDA UP 100.0%; ADJUSTED DILUTED EPS UP 40.5%
  • MARCUM INTEGRATION ON SCHEDULE

CLEVELAND, April 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- CBIZ, Inc., (NYSE: CBZ) ("CBIZ" or the "Company"), a leading national professional services advisor, today announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025.

"CBIZ delivered positive first-quarter results. As we have demonstrated throughout our history, our operating model enables us to deliver strong earnings and cash flow in varying business climates and our first-quarter financial results are consistent with that history. We are also pleased to report that the Marcum-related integration work is proceeding on schedule, and we continue to experience strong employee and client retention rates and outstanding collaboration within our combined team," said Jerry Grisko, CBIZ President and Chief Executive Officer.

For the first quarter of 2025, CBIZ recorded revenue of $838.0 million, an increase of $343.7 million, or 69.5%, compared with $494.3 million reported for the same period in 2024. Net income was $122.8 million, or $1.91 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2025, compared with $76.9 million, or $1.53 per diluted share, for the same period a year ago.

Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2025 was $237.6 million, up 100.0%, compared with $118.8 million for the same period a year ago. Adjusted net income was $147.2 million, or $2.29 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2025, compared with Adjusted net income of $81.9 million, or $1.63 per diluted share, for the same period a year ago. Adjusted net income increased by 79.7%, and Adjusted earnings per diluted share increased by 40.5%, for the first quarter of 2025, compared to the same period a year ago.

The uncertainty in the current economic and geopolitical environment has already begun to impact non-recurring service lines, a trend that is expected to continue. Since these services represent a higher proportion of revenue for the remainder of the year and given the Company's limited visibility into forecasting client demand, the Company now expects full-year 2025 revenue to be within a range of $2.8 billion to $2.95 billion.

2025 Outlook

The Company expects:

  • Total revenue within a range of $2.8 billion to $2.95 billion
  • Effective tax rate of approximately 29%
  • Weighted average fully diluted share count within a range of 64.5 to 65.0 million shares
  • GAAP fully diluted earnings per share to be within a range of $1.97 to $2.02
  • Adjusted fully diluted earnings per share within a range of $3.60 to $3.65
  • Adjusted EBITDA within a range of $450 million to $456 million

All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this release, including, without limitation, our "2025 Outlook," regarding our financial position, business strategy and plans and objectives for future performance are forward-looking statements. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts.

In particular, these include statements relating to future actions, future performance or results of current and anticipated services, sales efforts, expenses, and financial results.

From time to time, we may also provide oral or written forward-looking statements in other materials we release to the public. Any or all of our forward-looking statements in this release and in any other public statements that we make, are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: payments on accounts receivable may be slower than expected, or amounts due on receivables or notes may not be fully collectible; our business could be adversely affected if Marcum does not perform to our expectations or we underestimate the liabilities we have assumed; we are dependent on the services of our executive officers, and other key employees, the loss of whom may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations; restrictions imposed by independence requirements and conflict of interest rules, as well as the nature and terms of our current administrative service agreements, limit our ability to provide services to clients of the attest firms with which we have contractual relationships and the ability of such attest firms to provide attestation services to our clients; our goodwill and other intangible assets could become impaired, which could lead to material non-cash charges against earnings and a material impact on our results of operations and financial condition; certain liabilities resulting from acquisitions are estimated and could lead to a material impact on our results of operations; we may fail to realize the anticipated benefits of acquisitions, or they may prove disruptive and could result in the combined business failing to meet our expectations; recent Securities & Exchange Commission ("SEC") and Public Company Accounting Oversight Board sanctions against Marcum may adversely impact our performance and reputation; if we are unable to implement and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting following the Transaction, we may fail to prevent or detect material misstatements in our financial statements, in which case investors could lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports and the market price of our common stock may decline; we may not be able to acquire and finance additional businesses, which could limit our ability to pursue our business strategy; we will incur transaction, integration, and restructuring costs in connection with our acquisition program; governmental regulations and interpretations are subject to changes, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition; changes in the United States healthcare environment, including new healthcare legislation, may adversely affect the revenue and margins in our healthcare benefit business; we are subject to risks relating to processing customer transactions for our payroll and other transaction processing businesses; cyberattacks or other security breaches involving our computer systems or the systems of one or more of our vendors could materially and adversely affect our business; we are subject to risk as it relates to software that we license from third parties; we are reliant on information processing systems and any failure or disruptions of these systems could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations; we could be held liable for errors and omissions; the business services industry is competitive and fragmented, if we are unable to compete effectively, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be negatively impacted; given our levels of share-based compensation, our tax rate may vary significantly depending on our stock price; rapid technological changes could significantly impact our competitive position, client relationships and operating results and our ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the Transaction; climate change legislation or regulations restricting emissions of greenhouse gases could result in increased operating costs; the widespread outbreak of a communicable illness or any other public health crisis could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations; we require a significant amount of cash for interest payments on our debt and to expand our business as planned; terms of our amended and restated credit agreement (the "2024 Credit Facilities") providing for $2.0 billion in senior secured credit facilities, consisting of a $1.4 billion term loan and $600.0 million revolving credit facility, could adversely affect our ability to run our business and/or reduce stockholder returns; our failure to satisfy covenants in our debt instruments could cause a default under those instruments; our increased leverage following the Transaction may adversely impact our business; we may be more sensitive to revenue fluctuations than other companies, which could result in fluctuations in the market price of our common stock; the significant number of shares issuable as the stock consideration in the Transaction may adversely impact our stock price; the future issuance of additional shares could adversely affect the price of our common stock; there is volatility in our stock price; and the price of our common stock could be adversely impacted if we do not perform to expectations following the Transaction.

Such forward-looking statements can be affected by inaccurate assumptions we might make or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties. Should one or more of these risks materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated, projected or implied.

Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. A more detailed description of risk factors may be found in our periodic filings with the SEC, including in "Item 1A. Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. All forward-looking statements made in this release are made only as of the date hereof, and we undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. You are advised, however, to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in the current, quarterly, periodic and annual reports we file with the SEC.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we also present Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share ("EPS"), and Adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures are adjusted to exclude the impact of the Transaction, integration costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and other significant non-operating related gains and losses management does not consider ongoing in nature.

The presentation of non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. We use these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision-making, and to evaluate results relative to employee compensation targets. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information to stockholders, debt holders, and other interested parties in assessing our performance. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management's internal comparisons to our historical performance by excluding significant acquisition expenses, certain one-time non-recurring items, and gains and losses that management does not consider ongoing in nature. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors both because (1) they allow for greater transparency with respect to key measures used by management in its financial and operational decision-making and (2) they are used by our stockholders and analyst community to determine the health of our business.

Management provides specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from or included in these non-GAAP financial measures. Additionally, management provides reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable financial measures in accordance with GAAP. Please see the sections captioned "GAAP Reconciliation" within the Appendix for the reconciliations.

Net gains or 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."
