2023 OUTLOOK:
CLEVELAND, Feb. 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- CBIZ, Inc., (NYSE: CBZ) ("CBIZ", or the "Company"), a leading provider of financial, insurance and advisory services, today announced fourth-quarter and full-year results for the period ended December 31, 2022.
For the 2022 fourth quarter, CBIZ recorded revenue of $295.0 million, an increase of $52.2 million, or 21.5%, compared with $242.8 million reported for the same period in 2021. Acquired operations, net of divestitures, contributed $27.7 million, or 11.4%, to fourth-quarter 2022 revenue growth. Same-unit revenue increased by $24.5 million, or 10.1%, for the quarter, compared with the same period a year ago. Loss from continuing operations was $11.5 million in the 2022 fourth quarter, compared with a loss of $9.6 million for the same period a year ago.
Adjusted loss from continuing operations was $10.7 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, compared with $9.6 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, for the same period a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter was a loss of $4.4 million, compared with a loss of $5.0 million for the same period in 2021.
For the full year ended December 31, 2022, CBIZ recorded revenue of $1,412.0 million, an increase of $307.1 million, or 27.8%, over the $1,104.9 million for the same period in 2021. Acquisitions, net of divestitures, contributed $187.2 million, or 16.9%, to revenue growth in the twelve months ended December 31, 2022. Same-unit revenue increased by $119.9 million, or 10.9%, compared with the same period a year ago. Income from continuing operations was $105.4 million, or $2.01 per diluted share, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, compared with $70.9 million, or $1.32 per diluted share, for the same period a year ago.
Adjusted income from continuing operations was $111.4 million, or $2.13 per diluted share, for the full year ended December 31, 2022, compared with $89.3 million, or $1.66 per diluted share, for the same period a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA for the twelve months was $190.1 million, compared with $148.5 million for the same period in 2021.
As previously announced, in the second quarter of 2021, the Company recorded a nonrecurring settlement charge of $30.5 million and a $6.3 million non-recurring gain on sale of operations. These items were eliminated to arrive at Adjusted earnings per diluted share for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021. In 2022, the Company incurred approximately $10.5 million non-recurring transaction and first-year integration expenses related to the Marks Paneth acquisition and recorded a $2.4 million gain related to the sale of a book of business in the property and casualty line of service. These items were eliminated to arrive at Adjusted earnings per diluted share for 2022. Schedules reconciling Adjusted income from continuing operations, Adjusted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measures can be found in the tables included in this release.
For the full year ended December 31, 2022, the Company repurchased a total of 2.8 million shares of its common stock on the open market. The balance outstanding on the Company's unsecured credit facility on December 31, 2022, was $265.7 million with $319.9 million of unused borrowing capacity and leverage of approximately 1.5X Adjusted EBITDA.
Jerry Grisko, CBIZ President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "2022 was a year to be celebrated at CBIZ. I am proud to report exceptional results for the past year with strong growth across every major service line. In addition to continued demand for the core essential services that we provide to our clients regardless of business climate, we experienced very high demand for our more specialty and project-based advisory services as well."
"2022 also proved to be an important year for our strategic acquisition activity as we capitalized on a robust pipeline of opportunities, which added approximately $155 million of annualized revenue with the transactions that we closed." Grisko continued, "With the February 1, 2023, acquisition of Somerset contributing approximately $55 million of annualized revenue, momentum with M&A has continued into 2023. Headquartered in Indianapolis, the addition of Somerset will strengthen our presence in the important Midwest region of the country."
"As we look to 2023, we expect to continue to perform well despite the economic uncertainties ahead. With the essential and recurring nature of our core services, combined with a strong balance sheet and steady cash flow, we are well-positioned going into 2023," Grisko concluded.
