Insights

CBIZ delivered a strong Q3 2024 with notable growth metrics. $438.9M revenue represents a healthy 6.9% increase, with organic growth of 5.1%. The adjusted EPS growth of 27.3% to $0.84 is particularly impressive, demonstrating strong operational efficiency.

The pending Marcum acquisition is transformative, positioning CBIZ to become the largest middle-market professional services provider with projected combined revenues of $2.8B. While transaction costs of $14.8M impacted GAAP results, the strategic value outweighs short-term costs.

Strong balance sheet position with $252M unused borrowing capacity provides financial flexibility. The company's reaffirmed guidance and projected 10-12% adjusted EPS growth signals management's confidence in sustainable performance.

The balance outstanding on the Company's unsecured credit facility on September 30, 2024, was $337.3 million, with $252.0 million of unused borrowing capacity.

Jerry Grisko, CBIZ President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "Adjusted earnings per share were up by over 27% and we are very pleased to report strong third quarter results. With the business performing in line with expectations for the first three quarters of the year and a favorable outlook for the fourth quarter, we are pleased to reaffirm our full-year 2024 guidance for Adjusted earnings per share."

Grisko continued, "With the Marcum transaction nearing closing, we are excited for the opportunities it presents to our collective team members, clients, and for the CBIZ shareholders. With combined annual revenues of approximately $2.8 billion, over 10,000 team members, offices from coast to coast, and our wide-range of high-value services including accounting, tax, advisory, benefits, insurance, and technology, CBIZ will become the largest provider of professional services of our kind to the middle market. Upon closing, we will be unmatched in the depth of expertise and breadth of services we are able to provide to our clients and the career and growth opportunities we are able to offer our teams."

2024 Outlook

With an expected close in the fourth quarter of 2024, current guidance excludes the impact of the Marcum acquisition. Based on expectations for the remainder of the year, the Company expects the following:

  • Total revenue to grow within a range of 7% to 9% over the prior year.

  • Effective tax rate of approximately 28%.

  • Weighted average fully diluted share count of approximately 50.0 to 50.5 million shares.

  • GAAP fully diluted earnings per share to be within a range of $2.37 to $2.42 per share, or within a range of 1% higher or lower than the $2.39 per share reported for 2023.

(1)   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 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 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."

(1)   CBIZ reports its financial results in accordance with GAAP. This table reconciles Adjusted net income, Adjusted EPS, and Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, "Net income" and "Diluted earnings per share." Adjusted net income, Adjusted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA are not defined by GAAP and should not be regarded as an alternative or replacement to any financial information determined under GAAP. Adjusted net income, Adjusted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA exclude significant non-operating related gains and losses that management does not consider on-going in nature. These non-GAAP financial measures are used by the Company as performance measures to evaluate, assess and benchmark the Company's operational results and to evaluate results relative to employee compensation targets. Accordingly, the Company believes the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures allows its stockholders, debt holders, and other interested parties to meaningfully compare the Company's period-to-period operating results.

(2)   These costs include, but are not limited to, certain consulting, technology, personnel, as well as other first year operating and general administrative costs that are non-recurring in nature. Amounts reported in 2024 related to the costs incurred related to the acquisitions of Erickson, Brown & Kloster, LLC and CompuData, Inc., and those reported in 2023 related to the acquisition of Somerset CAPs and Advisors.

(3)    These costs relate to incremental non-recurring lease expense incurred as a result of CBIZ's real estate optimization efforts.

(4)   These costs include, but are not limited to, certain non-recurring legal and other professional service costs incurred in connection with the announced purchase of Marcum.
