Segment Disclosures | 14. Segment Disclosures CBIZ's business units have been aggregated into three practice groups: Financial Services, Employee Services and National Practices. The business units have been aggregated based on the following factors: similarity of the products and services provided to clients; similarity of the regulatory environment in which they operate; and similarity of economic conditions affecting long-term performance. The business units are managed along these segment lines. A general description of services provided by each practice group is provided in the table below. Financial Services Employee Services National Practices · Accounting · Tax · Government Health Care Consulting · Financial Advisory · Valuation · Litigation Support · Risk Advisory Services · Real Estate Advisory · Employee Benefits · Property & Casualty · Retirement Plan Services · Payroll Services · Life Insurance · Human Capital Services · Compensation Consulting · Executive Recruiting · Actuarial Services · Managed Networking and Hardware Services · Health Care Consulting Corporate and Other . Included in “Corporate and Other” are operating expenses that are not directly allocated to the individual business units. These expenses are primarily comprised of certain health care costs, gains or losses attributable to assets held in the Company’s deferred compensation plan, share-based compensation, consolidation and integration charges, certain professional fees, certain advertising costs and other various expenses. Accounting policies of the practice groups are the same as those described in Note 1 to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. Upon consolidation, intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated, thus inter-segment revenue is not included in the measure of profit or loss for the practice groups. Performance of the practice groups is evaluated on operating income excluding those costs listed above, which are reported in “Corporate and Other.” Segment information for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was as follows (in thousands): Three Months Ended June 30, 2016 Financial Services Employee Services National Practices Corporate and Other Total Revenue $ 122,856 $ 66,484 $ 7,675 $ — $ 197,015 Operating expenses 106,987 56,344 7,005 3,660 173,996 Gross margin 15,869 10,140 670 (3,660 ) 23,019 Corporate general & admin — — — 8,346 8,346 Operating income (loss) 15,869 10,140 670 (12,006 ) 14,673 Other income (expense): Interest expense — (10 ) — (1,723 ) (1,733 ) Gain on sale of operations, net — — — 50 50 Other (expense) income, net (27 ) 84 1 645 703 Total other (expense) income (27 ) 74 1 (1,028 ) (980 ) Income (loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense $ 15,842 $ 10,214 $ 671 $ (13,034 ) $ 13,693 Three Months Ended June 30, 2015 Financial Services Employee Services National Practices Corporate and Other Total Revenue $ 116,671 $ 61,024 $ 7,347 $ — $ 185,042 Operating expenses 102,345 51,242 6,649 2,881 163,117 Gross margin 14,326 9,782 698 (2,881 ) 21,925 Corporate general & admin — — — 6,615 6,615 Operating income (loss) 14,326 9,782 698 (9,496 ) 15,310 Other income (expense): Interest expense — (11 ) — (2,837 ) (2,848 ) Gain on sale of operations, net — — — 45 45 Other income (expense), net 8 82 1 (1,217 ) (1,126 ) Total other income (expense) 8 71 1 (4,009 ) (3,929 ) Income (loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense $ 14,334 $ 9,853 $ 699 $ (13,505 ) $ 11,381 Segment information for the nine months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was as follows (in thousands): Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 Financial Services Employee Services National Practices Corporate and Other Total Revenue $ 275,063 $ 130,811 $ 15,379 $ — $ 421,253 Operating expenses 220,484 110,024 13,882 7,723 352,113 Gross margin 54,579 20,787 1,497 (7,723 ) 69,140 Corporate general & admin — — — 18,591 18,591 Operating income (loss) 54,579 20,787 1,497 (26,314 ) 50,549 Other income (expense): Interest expense — (20 ) — (3,239 ) (3,259 ) Gain on sale of operations, net — — — 151 151 Other income, net 227 158 1 2,464 2,850 Total other income (expense) 227 138 1 (624 ) (258 ) Income (loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense $ 54,806 $ 20,925 $ 1,498 $ (26,938 ) $ 50,291 Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 Financial Services Employee Services National Practices Corporate and Other Total Revenue $ 260,503 $ 123,675 $ 14,730 $ — $ 398,908 Operating expenses 210,963 102,770 13,250 6,998 333,981 Gross margin 49,540 20,905 1,480 (6,998 ) 64,927 Corporate general & admin — — — 16,480 16,480 Operating income (loss) 49,540 20,905 1,480 (23,478 ) 48,447 Other income (expense): Interest expense — (20 ) — (5,805 ) (5,825 ) Gain on sale of operations, net — — — 101 101 Other income, net 107 199 1 1,426 1,733 Total other income (expense) 107 179 1 (4,278 ) (3,991 ) Income (loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense $ 49,647 $ 21,084 $ 1,481 $ (27,756 ) $ 44,456 |
