InnerWorkings, Inc. Announces Third Quarter 2006 Results
Company’s innovative business model delivers 78% top-line growth
Chicago, IL, November 7, 2006 – InnerWorkings, Inc. (Nasdaq: INWK), a leading provider of print procurement solutions to corporate clients in the United States, today reported record third quarter fiscal year 2006, ended September 30, 2006.
Highlights:
| • | | Revenue grew to a record of $41.8 million, an increase of over 78 percent versus the fiscal 2005 third quarter. |
| • | | Income from operations increased 128 percent year over year. |
| • | | Growth strategy execution through the addition of 23 account executives and five new enterprise clients during the three months ended September 30, 2006. |
| • | | Full year 2006 revenue and net income guidance to the ranges of $145 million to $147 million and $7.6 million to $7.8 million, respectively. |
Revenue for the quarter was $41.8 million, an increase of 78 percent compared to revenue of $23.5 million in the prior year quarter. For the 2006 third quarter, income from operations was $3.6 million, an increase of 128 percent from $1.6 million during the same quarter of 2005. Income from operations was 8.7 percent of revenue during the current year quarter, up from 6.8 percent during the same quarter of the prior year.
“We are pleased to deliver record results in our first quarter as a public company,” commented Steve Zuccarini, Chief Executive Officer of InnerWorkings. “Our strong performance reaffirms the value we deliver to our customers, our innovative business model and opportunities to drive continued revenue growth.”
For the three months ended September 30, 2006, net income was $2.4 million, an increase of 48 percent from $1.6 million during the third quarter of 2005. Year over year comparisons were impacted by the effect of corporate income taxes, which were not part of the Company’s 2005 results due to its structure as a limited liability company. During the three months ended September 30, 2006, income before taxes increased by 144 percent from the same quarter of the prior year. For the third quarter, fully diluted EPS was $.05.

“Our performance during the quarter shows our commitment to profitable growth and highlights the operational and financial efficiency of our business model,” stated Nick Galassi, Chief Financial Officer of InnerWorkings. “We were able to increase revenues without ratably increasing our operating costs, which produced record earnings for the quarter.”
Additional third quarter fiscal year 2006 financial and operational highlights include the following:
| • | | 75 percent of the Company’s revenue was generated from sales to enterprise, or contract, clients, with the remaining 25 percent coming from transactional clients. |
| • | | The Company completed an initial public offering in August 2006, raising $46.8 million net of underwriter fees and preferred dividend payments. |
| • | | The Company had $44.3 million of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of September 30, 2006. |
| • | | The Company’s balance sheet contains no debt as of the period ended September 30, 2006. |
| • | | The Company added 23 sales executives during the fiscal 2006 third quarter, bringing the quarter-end total to 114. |
| • | | The Company signed five new enterprise clients during the three months ended September 30, 2006, resulting in a quarter-end total of 86 enterprise accounts. |
| • | | The Company acquired CoreVision Group, a provider of print management services, in September 2006. CoreVision added 15 sales executives during the quarter in Michigan, Missouri and Illinois. |
Outlook
The Company anticipates revenue for fiscal year 2006 in the range of $145 million to $147 million with resulting net income and fully-diluted earnings per share in the ranges of $7.6 million to $7.8 million and $0.17 to $0.18, respectively. The Company’s diluted earnings per share reflect the new capital structure as of its IPO.
“We continue to see the strength of our business model as we expand our base of enterprise and transactional clients and make selective acquisitions,” Zuccarini concluded. “Our proprietary technology and database, deep domain knowledge, and long standing supplier relationships create a differentiated solution that positions us as a long-term value-added partner for our clients in managing their print procurement needs.”
