(firmenpresse) - VANCOUVER, WA -- (Marketwire) -- 02/12/13 -- Barrett Business Services, Inc. ("BBSI" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: BBSI), a leading provider of business management solutions, reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2012.
Net revenues increased 34% to $113.7 million
Gross revenues increased 41% to $596.7 million
Net income increased to $5.8 million or $0.80 per diluted common share, compared to a net loss of $93,000 or $(0.01) per diluted common share
Net revenues in the fourth quarter of 2012 increased 34% to $113.7 million, compared to $84.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2011.
Total non-GAAP gross revenues in the fourth quarter of 2012 increased 41% to $596.7 million, compared to $423.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 (see "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below). The increase is due primarily to the continued build in the Company's Professional Employer Organization (PEO) client count and same-store sales growth.
Net income in the fourth quarter of 2012 increased to $5.8 million or $0.80 per diluted common share, compared to a net loss of $93,000 or $(0.01) per diluted common share in the year-ago quarter. The fourth quarter of 2011 included an increase to the workers' compensation reserve of approximately $8.5 million and the benefit of a lower annual effective income tax rate resulting from the non-taxable $10.0 million of key man life insurance proceeds received following the passing of the Company's former president and CEO. Excluding these items, non-GAAP net income in the fourth quarter of 2011 was $4.1 million or $0.41 per diluted common share (see "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below).
At December 31, 2012, the Company's cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $72.4 million, compared to $81.8 million at December 31, 2011. During 2012, the Company repurchased 3.0 million shares of its common stock for $59.7 million, which included the redemption of $34.8 million of preferred shares issued to finance the repurchase. The completion of the repurchase was financed using a combination of cash on hand and availability under a new revolving credit facility provided by its principal bank. At December 31, 2012, total debt was $10.0 million, which included $4.5 million outstanding on the Company's revolving credit line.
Net revenues in 2012 increased 28% to $402.7 million, compared to $314.9 million in 2011. Total non-GAAP gross revenues in 2012 increased 36% to $2.1 billion, compared to $1.5 billion in 2011. The increase was primarily attributable to the previously discussed increase in net PEO clients and same-store sales growth.
Net income in 2012 was $13.1 million or $1.67 per diluted common share, compared to net income of $14.3 million or $1.41 per diluted common share in 2011. Excluding $460,000 of incremental legal and professional fees associated with the response to requests for a special stockholders meeting, non-GAAP net income in 2012 was $13.4 million or $1.71 per diluted common share. Net income in 2011 included $10.0 million of key man life insurance proceeds received following the passing of the Company's former president and CEO, a lower annual effective income tax rate resulting primarily from these proceeds and the $8.5 million increase to workers' compensation reserve. Excluding these non-recurring items, non-GAAP net income in 2011 was $9.0 million or $0.89 per diluted share.
"The fourth quarter was a continuation of the positive trends we experienced in the first three quarters of 2012," said Michael Elich, president and CEO of BBSI. "These include our strong referral channels driving new business, solid organic growth from continuing customers and the overall maturation of our brand. We also continued investing in our operational infrastructure and professional talent, which has played an integral role in supporting our growth and maintaining our greater than 90% client retention rate. We expect these growth drivers to continue as we move through 2013 and remain committed to investing in the business to ultimately support a larger and more mature company."
For the first quarter of 2013, the Company expects gross revenues to range between $585 million and $590 million, compared to $432.1 million for the first quarter of 2012. Net loss per common share in the first quarter of 2013 is expected to range between $(0.36) and $(0.40), which includes the effect of the decrease in outstanding shares as a result of the Company's 3.0 million share repurchase, compared to a net loss per common share of $(0.22) in the year-ago quarter. The first quarter of 2012 included $460,000 of incremental legal and professional fees from the previously mentioned special stockholders meeting. Excluding these fees, non-GAAP net loss for the first quarter of 2012 was $1.9 million or $(0.19) per common share.
The Company historically incurs losses in the first quarter due to the higher effective payroll taxes at the start of the new year.

In addition to the results prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), the Company is disclosing non-GAAP gross revenues and non-GAAP net income.
The Company reports its PEO revenues on a net basis because it is not the primary obligor for the services provided by the Company's PEO clients to their customers. The gross revenues and cost of revenues information below, although not in accordance with GAAP, is presented for comparison purposes and because management believes such information is more informative as to the level of the Company's business activity and more useful in managing its operations.
A reconciliation of non-GAAP gross revenues to net revenues is as follows:
The Company is presenting non-GAAP net income because it believes it is more reflective of its actual operating results due to the effects of non-recurring items. In the fourth quarter of 2011 the Company recorded an increase to its workers' compensation reserve of approximately $8.5 million as a result of adverse development in the estimate of the ultimate cost of the Company's self-insured workers' compensation claims liabilities. For the full year of 2011, non-recurring items included $10 million of key man life insurance proceeds received following the passing of the Company's former president and CEO and the $8.5 million increase to its workers' compensation reserve. The fourth quarter of 2011 as well as the full year 2011 included the benefit of a lower annual effective income tax rate resulting from the non-taxable key man life insurance proceeds. The full year of 2012 included $460,000 of incremental legal and professional fees associated with the response to requests for a special stockholders meeting.
