Chicago, IL, November 5, 2009 – InnerWorkings, Inc. (NASDAQ: INWK), a leading global provider of managed print and promotional solutions to corporate clients, today reported results for the three months ended September 30, 2009.
Quarterly Highlights:
| • | | Revenue generated during the third quarter was $98.2 million, including a $5.7 million one-time correction of a 2008 revenue accrual related to one customer. Adjusted revenue excluding this one-time correction is $103.9 million. Please refer to the non-GAAP reconciliation table below for more information. |
| • | | Reported net income and earnings per share for the third quarter was $1.7 million and $0.04 per diluted share. Excluding the one-time correction, adjusted net income and earnings per share are $2.3 million and $0.05 per diluted share. Please refer to the non-GAAP reconciliation table below for more information. |
| • | | Seven new enterprise contracts were signed during the quarter, including agreements with InterContinental Hotels Group, The Scotts Company and Bayer. |
| • | | Revenue from new accounts was $14.6 million in the quarter and $35.3 million year-to-date. |
| • | | Cash flow generated from operations was $2.0 million in the third quarter. |
“In terms of the size and quality of our new enterprise wins, the third quarter was among the best we’ve had,” said Eric D. Belcher, Chief Executive Officer of InnerWorkings. “We believe we have seen the bottom with respect to marketing budgets and print spends and continue to gain confidence that our markets are improving.”

Additional third quarter 2009 financial and operational highlights include the following:
| • | | For the third quarter of 2009, 65 percent of the Company’s revenue was generated from sales to enterprise clients, with the remaining 35 percent derived from transactional clients. |
| • | | Customer concentration from the Company’s top 10 accounts decreased to 33 percent of total revenue compared to 35 percent in the year-earlier period. |
| • | | The Company conducted business with 24 of its top 25 customers from the year-earlier period. |
| • | | As of the end of the third quarter the Company has an outstanding balance of $42.3 million on its bank credit facility and retains cash and short-term investments of $25.8 million. |
“We are continuing to manage expenses prudently and reduce costs as we seek an optimization of our resources,” said Joseph M. Busky, Chief Financial Officer of InnerWorkings. “We believe that further productivity initiatives, along with sustained financial discipline and our healthy balance sheet and cash flow generation will position us well to benefit as market conditions continue to improve. As sales begin to recover in earnest, we expect to strengthen our operating leverage and improve our financial performance.”
2008 Revenue Accrual Correction
As noted above, InnerWorkings recorded a one time, non-cash correction of a 2008 revenue accrual for one customer account in the quarter. The adjustment relates primarily to the second and third quarters of 2008. The out-of-period adjustment in the third quarter of 2009 was for $5.7 million in revenue, $0.9 million of gross profit and $0.6 million of net income. This adjustment is confined to one customer. InnerWorkings identified and addressed the issue and additional safeguards and controls have been implemented in an effort to prevent anything similar from reoccurring. We have concluded that no prior periods are materially misstated and that no restatement is required for any prior period as a result of this correction.
