InnerWorkings Announces Third Quarter 2016 Results
Record quarterly revenue with year-to-date gross profit up 10%
Over $100 million in new enterprise contracts signed year to date; raising full-year guidance

CHICAGO, IL - November 8, 2016 - InnerWorkings, Inc. (NASDAQ: INWK), the leading global marketing execution firm, today announced financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2016. For all non-GAAP references below, please refer to the non-GAAP reconciliation tables at the end of this release for more information.

Financial Highlights
Gross revenue was $280.0 million in the third quarter, an increase of 5.8% compared with $264.7 million in the third quarter of 2015. Year-to-date gross revenue was $820.3 million, an increase of 8.1% compared with $759.0 million in the prior year period.

Gross profit (net revenue) was $67.8 million, or 24.2% of gross revenue in the third quarter, a 6.6% increase compared to $63.6 million, or 24.0% of gross revenue, in the same period of last year. Year-to-date gross profit (net revenue) was $194.8 million, or 23.8% of gross revenue, an increase of 9.7% compared to the prior-year period.

Net income for the third quarter was $4.3 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, and year-to-date net loss was $0.7 million or $0.01 per diluted share.

Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share for the third quarter were $0.11, compared to $0.09 a year ago. Year-to-date non-GAAP diluted earnings per share were $0.26 compared to $0.18 in the same period of 2015.

Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was $16.9 million in the third quarter, reflecting 5.4% growth as compared to $16.1 million in the third quarter of 2015. Year-to-date non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was $43.4 million, an increase of 15.2% compared to $37.7 million in the same period of 2015.

Business Highlights
InnerWorkings has continued to sign new enterprise contracts in recent months, bringing the year-to-date collective total to more than $100 million of annual gross revenue at full run-rate, with about half stemming from expanded relationships with active clients.

The largest of the new client contracts is expected to generate $10 million of annual revenue at full run-rate and makes InnerWorkings the preferred provider for marketing materials and direct mail, centralizing the marketing supply chain for a large U.S. media company.

The largest increase of work within an existing account is an expansion of the Company’s long-term partnership with a client in the healthcare industry, growing the account to more than $20 million of revenue by rolling out the existing print and creative services offering from one business unit to all of the company’s U.S. and Canadian operations.

“We have devoted considerable energy to developing our presence in the international markets and new service offerings over the last few years, and the benefits of these investments are becoming more apparent,” said Eric D. Belcher, Chief Executive Officer of InnerWorkings. “With the strength of our global capabilities and rate of penetration with our existing accounts, I’m excited by our performance and the path I see ahead for InnerWorkings.”

“Our third quarter financial results demonstrate continued organic growth and further operating efficiency, particularly in our International segment,” said Jeffrey P. Pritchett, Chief Financial Officer of InnerWorkings. “We are raising our financial performance expectations for 2016 as we continue to execute ahead of plan.”

Outlook





The Company is raising its guidance for 2016 annual revenue and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share. InnerWorkings now expects 2016 revenue to range between $1.075 billion and $1.082 billion, compared to previous guidance of $1.06 to $1.08 billion. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share is now expected to be $0.31 to $0.34, versus prior guidance of $0.30 - $0.33. Guidance for non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA is unchanged at $58.0 million to $62.0 million.

Conference Call
Eric D. Belcher, Chief Executive Officer, and Jeffrey P. Pritchett, Chief Financial Officer, will host a conference call to discuss the results today at 4:30 p.m. Central time (5:30 p.m. Eastern time).
The phone number to access the conference call is (877) 771-7024. A live audio webcast of the call will be available through InnerWorkings’ website at http://investor.inwk.com/events.cfm. A replay of the webcast will be available later today at the same location.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes the following financial measures defined as “non-GAAP financial measures” by the Securities and Exchange Commission: non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share. We believe these measures provide useful information to investors because they provide information about the estimated financial performance of the Company's ongoing business. These measures are used by management in its financial and operational decision-making and evaluation of overall operating performance. The presentation of this financial information, which is not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles, is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest comparable GAAP measures, please see the reconciliation of non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share included in this release.

The Company has not quantitatively reconciled its guidance for non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA or non-GAAP diluted earnings per share to their most comparable GAAP measure because the Company does not provide specific guidance for the various reconciling items as certain items that impact these measures have not occurred, are out of the Company’s control, or cannot be reasonably predicted. Accordingly, a reconciliation to the nearest GAAP financial metric is not available without unreasonable effort. Please note that the unavailable reconciling items could significantly impact the Company’s financial results.

Forward-Looking Statements

We can give no assurance that any future results discussed in these statements will be achieved. Any forward-looking statements represent our views only as of today and should not be relied upon as representing our views as of any subsequent date.
