InnerWorkings,
Inc. (NASDAQ: INWK), the leading global marketing execution firm,
today announced financial results for the three months ended March 31,
2019. For all non-GAAP references below, please refer to the non-GAAP
reconciliation tables at the end of this release for more information.
“Our pursuit of operational excellence and cost reduction measures have
not impacted our ability to maintain strong partnerships with our
existing client base and attract additional large, global brands,” said
Chief Executive Officer Rich Stoddart. “We have been awarded more new
business in the first four months of 2019 than we had at this point in
any prior year. We expect to continue positive momentum through 2019,
solidly positioning us on our path toward profitable growth.”
Financial and Business Highlights
-
Gross revenue was $267.2 million in the first quarter of 2019, a
decrease of 3% compared to $274.5 million in the first quarter of
2018. Excluding currency impacts, first quarter gross revenue
increased 1% compared to the same period of last year. -
Gross profit (net revenue) was $61.2 million, or 22.9% of gross
revenue in the first quarter of 2019, compared to $66.1 million, or
24.1% of revenue, in the same period of last year. Excluding the
impact of write-offs related to the previous exit of certain client
work, first quarter gross margin would have been 23.2%. -
Net loss for the first quarter of 2019 was $(2.5) million, or $(0.05)
per diluted share, compared to net loss of $(1.7) million, or $(0.03)
per diluted share in the first quarter of 2018. First quarter 2019 net
loss included $3.9 million of restructuring charges related to the
previously-announced cost reduction plan. -
Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2019 was
$0.02, compared to a loss of $(0.02) in the first quarter of 2018. -
Adjusted EBITDA was $6.6 million in the first quarter of 2019,
compared to $7.4 million in the first quarter of 2018. -
Additional work from new and existing clients awarded to date in 2019
amounts to approximately $75 million of annual revenue at full
run-rate. The latest of these wins include new partnerships with one
of the largest producers of consumer discretionary products and a
global manufacturer of home improvement products.
“I am encouraged by the progress our teams are making to improve the
efficiency of our operations, which is reflected in our sequential
reduction in SG&A this quarter,” said Don Pearson, Chief Financial
Officer. “With the assistance of third-party experts, we are at an
advanced planning stage of the second phase of cost reduction
initiatives. Implementing these plans is expected to deliver $3 million
of cost savings in the second half of 2019 and another $12 million in
2020 and beyond. This is a key step to create an operating platform that
will enable sustainable profitable growth.”
Outlook
The Company is maintaining its guidance for 2019. Revenue is expected to
be in a range of $1.15 to $1.18 billion, which represents growth of 3%
to 5% compared to 2018. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in a range of
$42 to $46 million, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share guidance for
2019 is expected to be $0.20 to $0.24.

Rich Stoddart, Chief Executive Officer, and Don Pearson, Chief Financial
Officer, will host a conference call to discuss the results today at
4:00 p.m. Central time (5:00 p.m. Eastern time).

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes the following financial measures defined as
“non-GAAP financial measures” by the SEC: adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP
diluted earnings per share and constant currency revenue. The Company
believes these measures provide useful information to investors because
they provide further insights into the Company’s financial performance.
These measures are also used by management in its financial and
operational decision-making and evaluation of overall performance. With
respect to constant currency, we believe such presentation allows
investors to measure our financial performance exclusive of foreign
currency exchange fluctuations more clearly. Constant currency revenue
is calculated by retranslating current period revenue at a consistent
rate with the prior period results. This approach is based on the
pricing currency for each country, which is typically the functional
currency. 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 adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP diluted
earnings per share, and constant currency included in this release.

laws. 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
