“Given the significant size of our market opportunity and the stage of our development, we will continue to invest in the necessary people, processes and technology to support our growth initiatives,” stated Joe Busky, Chief Financial Officer of InnerWorkings.
“We will continue to deploy capital with the goal of enhancing shareholder value,” said Steven E. Zuccarini, Chief Executive Officer of InnerWorkings. “We have ample liquidity to repurchase additional shares of our common stock and further invest in strategic acquisitions. The buyback program reflects our strong confidence in the Company’s near- and long-term prospects.”
Outlook
The Company is reaffirming 2008 revenue guidance of $450 million to $490 million. Annual earnings per share guidance is now projected to range between $0.50 and $0.54, with an anticipated $0.03 to $0.05 of earnings per share contributed from an additional sale of InnerWorkings’ stock in Echo Global Logistics conducted throughout the remainder of the year. Operating earnings per share results are estimated to range from $0.25 to $0.28 for the remainder of the year, which reflect the Company’s investments in infrastructure necessary to support the rapid revenue growth InnerWorkings continues to experience.
“We remain committed to funding the investments necessary to construct a platform for growth capable of yielding sustainable, long-term success,” said Zuccarini. “The client relationships we have developed are growing in strength and depth, which further reinforces our belief that the investment decisions we are implementing today will pay large dividends in the future.”
