WageWorks Reports Second Quarter 2014 Financial Results

WageWorks, Inc. (the “Company”) (NYSE: WAGE), a leader in administering Consumer-Directed Benefits (CDBs), which empower employees to save money on taxes while also providing corporate tax advantages for employers, today announced the Company's financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2014.

“We just finished a very successful quarter and first half of 2014, as demand for Consumer-Directed Benefits continues to grow, and we continue to execute on our stated objectives,” said Joe Jackson, Chief Executive Officer of WageWorks. “Our enterprise selling season is developing extremely well with several new significant signings. We saw an encouraging increase in FSA participation rates for our mid-year start clients who took advantage of the change to the Use-It-Or-Lose-It provision, and are pleased with the continuous progress with onboarding Ceridian clients to the WageWorks platform. Finally, we are thrilled about the acquisition of CONEXIS, a recognized leader in employee benefits administration, as well as our new channel partnership with their former parent company, The Word & Brown Companies, one of the most reputable names in the health insurance and employee benefits space.”

For the second quarter, WageWorks reported total revenue of $58.8 million, compared to $54.6 million for the second quarter of 2013, an increase of 8 percent. Healthcare revenue was $37.6 million, compared to $33.9 million for the second quarter of 2013, an increase of 11 percent. Commuter revenue was $15.1 million, compared to $14.7 million for the second quarter of 2013, an increase of 2 percent. Other revenue was $6.1 million, compared to $6.0 million for the second quarter of 2013, an increase of 2 percent.

GAAP operating income was $7.9 million for the second quarter of 2014, compared to GAAP operating income of $6.7 million for the second quarter of 2013. On a non-GAAP basis, second quarter of 2014 operating income was $14.5 million, compared to non-GAAP operating income of $11.9 million for the second quarter of 2013.

GAAP net income was $4.6 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2014, compared to GAAP net income of $4.0 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2013.

On a non-GAAP net income basis, second quarter of 2014 net income was $8.6 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $7.1 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2013. Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2013 and 2014 excludes expenses related to stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangibles, contingent consideration expense and the related tax impact of these items.

Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was $17.5 million for the second quarter of 2014, a 17 percent increase compared to non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of $14.9 million for the second quarter of 2013.

The reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to the comparable GAAP measures for the second quarter 2014 and 2013 is detailed in the tables provided in this press release.

As of June 30, 2014, WageWorks had cash and cash equivalents totaling $370.9 million. This compares to cash and cash equivalents totaling $360.0 million as of December 31, 2013.

WageWorks also announced today that Rich Green, Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), will be leaving the Company to pursue other opportunities. Mr. Green will stay on as CFO over the next few months until a successor is found, in order to ensure an orderly transition. Mr. Green has been instrumental in the Company’s success, guiding WageWorks through a successful IPO, creating a track record of strong financial results, and providing outstanding leadership. The Company has initiated a search for his successor.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

To supplement the Company’s financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, the Company provides non-GAAP financial measure of net income, operating income, adjusted EBITDA and diluted earnings per share. By providing information about both the overall GAAP financial performance and the non-GAAP measures that focus on what management believes to be its ongoing business operations, the Company believes that the additional information enhances investors’ overall understanding of the Company’s business. The Company’s management believes it is useful for itself and investors to review, as applicable, both GAAP information that includes stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangibles, contingent consideration gain and expense and the related tax impact of all of these items on the provision for income taxes, and the non-GAAP measures that exclude such information in order to assess the performance of the Company’s business for planning and forecasting in subsequent periods. The Company’s management does not itself, nor does it suggest that investors should consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Whenever the Company uses such a non-GAAP financial measure, it provides a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the most closely applicable GAAP financial measure. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure as detailed above. Investors are also encouraged to review the Company’s GAAP financial statements as reported in its SEC filings.
