Revenue for the Company’s fourth quarter was $61.2 million, an increase of 175 percent compared to revenue of $22.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2005. Operating income was $5.1 million, an increase of 287 percent from $1.3 million during the same quarter of 2005. Operating income was 8.3 percent of revenue during the fourth quarter, up from 5.9 percent during the same quarter of the prior year.
For the three months ended December 31, 2006, net income was $3.4 million, an increase of 159 percent from $1.3 million during the fourth quarter of 2005. Quarter over quarter 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. For the quarter, diluted earnings per share were $0.07.
“The company experienced record growth in the fourth quarter and full year 2006 which reflects impressive execution by our team,” stated Steve Zuccarini, Chief Executive Officer of InnerWorkings. “We continued to expand our base business while broadening our geographic presence through strategic acquisitions.”
For the year, the Company achieved revenue of $160.5 million, an increase of 109 percent compared to revenue of $76.9 million in 2005. Operating income for the full year 2006 was $12.8 million, an increase of 179 percent from $4.6 million during the full year 2005. Operating income was 8.0 percent of revenue during 2006, up from 6.0 percent in 2005.
Full year net income was $8.3 million, an increase of 79 percent from net income of $4.6 million in 2005, impacted by the effect of corporate income taxes as described above. For the year ended December 31, 2006, diluted earnings per share were $0.21.
“We were pleased to see our net margins increase while we continue to invest in growing our business, as demonstrated by our fourth quarter 287 percent growth in operating income,” stated Nick Galassi, Chief Financial Officer of InnerWorkings. “Furthermore, our balance sheet is strong, with no debt and significant cash on hand. This capital structure positions us well for future growth.”
Additional fourth quarter and full year 2006 financial and operational highlights include the following:
| • | | For the fourth quarter of 2006, 60 percent of the Company’s revenue was generated from sales to enterprise clients, with the remaining 40 percent coming from transactional clients. |
| • | | For the full year, 70 percent of revenue was derived from enterprise clients and 30 percent was derived from transactional clients. |
| • | | The Company had a cash and marketable securities balance of $30.6 million as of December 31, 2006. Following the end of the quarter, the Company’s net cash increased by approximately $37.9 million as a result of its follow-on equity offering completed on January 24, 2007. |
| • | | The Company’s balance sheet contained no debt as of December 31, 2006. |
| • | | In October 2006, the Company acquired Applied Graphics, a West Coast provider of print management and print-on-demand services. As of December 31, 2005, Applied Graphics had 35 sales representatives and revenue of approximately $29 million for the year. Applied Graphics contributed $8.9 million in revenue in the fourth quarter and full year 2006. |
Outlook
The Company anticipates revenue for fiscal year 2007 in the range of $260 million to $280 million with resulting net income and diluted earnings per share in the ranges of $16.0 million to $17.0 million and $0.30 to $0.33, respectively. The Company’s diluted earnings per share reflect the new capital structure as of its IPO and follow-on offering.
“We are well positioned in the marketplace and are encouraged about our growth prospects for 2007,” Zuccarini concluded. “Our strategy remains focused and unchanged. We continue to invest in all facets of our organization to strengthen our ability to deliver long-term growth.”
