WageWorks Acquires CONEXIS to Further Its Leadership Position in Consumer-Directed Benefits

SAN MATEO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--August 1, 2014--WageWorks, Inc. (NYSE: WAGE), a leading provider of Consumer-Directed Benefits such as pre-tax accounts for health, commuter and other employee benefits, today announced that it has acquired CONEXIS, one of The Word & Brown Companies, and a recognized leader in employee benefits administration since 1986, in an all cash transaction. This transaction further strengthens WageWorks' position in the Consumer-Directed Benefits market.

CONEXIS serves the needs of over 16,000 organizations of all sizes by providing account-based plans, COBRA and Direct Bill administration services, and public and private exchange services to corporations, state and local governments, and business process outsourcing companies, as well as insurance carriers and health plans.

"We are very pleased to welcome CONEXIS to the WageWorks family," said Joe Jackson, Chief Executive Officer, WageWorks. "The quality of their benefits administration services, as well as their customer and partner relationships make CONEXIS an ideal fit for WageWorks, as we continue to expand our comprehensive suite of Consumer-Directed Benefits. In addition, we welcome the opportunity to establish and leverage a channel partnership with The Word & Brown Companies, one of the most reputable names in the health insurance and employee benefits space."

“Word & Brown has always been dedicated to offering independent broker partners excellent service, pricing, and expertise unlike any other General Agency or Administrator in the country," said John Word, Partner, The Word & Brown Companies. “We are excited that thousands of CONEXIS clients and their employees will be able to receive additional benefits services and product offerings through this relationship with WageWorks.” said Rusty Brown, Partner, The Word & Brown Companies.

CONEXIS will continue to service its clients and their employees out of their Irving, Texas, and Orange, California, offices, supported by additional capabilities, products and technologies provided by WageWorks. The company will now operate as "CONEXIS, a division of WageWorks, Inc."

The transaction was financed through both cash on the balance sheet, as well as the drawdown from the company’s existing line of credit. For the remainder of 2014, WageWorks currently expects CONEXIS to contribute $23.0 million to $25.0 million in revenue and to be slightly accretive to Adjusted EBITDA and to have a meaningfully positive impact to Adjusted EBITDA in 2015. In addition, for the remainder of 2014, WageWorks expects the acquisition to be neutral to marginally accretive to GAAP net income per diluted share inclusive of transaction and acquisition amortization costs.
