Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
|
|
|
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. |
|
|
|
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements
include all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) considered
necessary to present fairly the financial position of CBIZ, Inc. and its consolidated
subsidiaries (CBIZ) as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the results of their
operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, and cash flows
for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006. Due to seasonality, potential
changes in economic conditions, interest rate fluctuations and other factors, the results
of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for
the full year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and
notes thereto included in CBIZs Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2006. |
|
|
|
Organization |
|
|
|
CBIZ is a diversified services company which, acting through its subsidiaries, provides
professional business services primarily to small and medium-sized businesses, as well as
individuals, governmental entities, and not-for-profit enterprises throughout the United
States and Toronto, Canada. CBIZ delivers its integrated services through the following four
practice groups: |
|
|
|
Financial Services |
|
|
|
|
Employee Services |
|
|
|
|
Medical Management Professionals |
|
|
|
|
National Practices |
|
|
See Note 10 for further information regarding CBIZs practice groups. |
|
|
|
Principles of Consolidation |
|
|
|
The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the operations of CBIZ and all of
its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not
reflect the operations or accounts of variable interest entities as the impact is not
material to the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of CBIZ. See
further discussion under Variable Interest Entities below. |
|
|
|
Use of Estimates |
|
|
|
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of
revenue and expenses. Managements estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited
to, estimates of collectibility of accounts receivable and unbilled revenue, the
realizability of goodwill and other intangible assets, the valuation of stock options in
determining compensation expense, accrued liabilities (such as incentive compensation),
income taxes and other factors. Managements estimates and assumptions are derived from and
are continually evaluated based upon available information, judgment and experience. Actual
results could differ from those estimates. |
|
|
|
Reclassifications |
|
|
|
Certain amounts in the 2006 consolidated financial statements and disclosures have been
reclassified to conform to the current year presentation to reflect the impact of
discontinued operations. |

CBIZ, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
|
|
Revenue Recognition and Valuation of Unbilled Revenues |
|
|
|
Revenue is recognized when all of the following are present: persuasive evidence of an
arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, our fee to the
client is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. These criteria
are in accordance with GAAP and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 (SAB 104). CBIZ offers
a vast array of products and business services to its clients. Those services are delivered
through four practice groups. A description of revenue recognition, as it relates to those
groups, is provided below. |
|
|
|
Financial Services Revenue consists primarily of fees for accounting services, preparation
of tax returns, consulting services, compliance projects and valuation services including
fairness opinions, business plans, litigation support, purchase price allocations and
derivative valuations. Revenues are recorded in the period in which services are provided
and meet revenue recognition criteria in accordance with SAB 104. CBIZ bills clients based
upon a predetermined agreed-upon fixed fee or based on actual hours incurred on client
projects at expected net realizable rates per hour, plus agreed-upon out-of-pocket expenses.
The cumulative impact on any subsequent revision in the estimated realizable value of
unbilled fees for a particular client project is reflected in the period in which the change
becomes known. |
|
|
|
Employee Services Revenue consists primarily of brokerage and agency commissions, payroll
service fees, interest on client funds, and fee income for administering health and
retirement plans. A description of the revenue recognition, based on the service provided,
insurance product sold, and billing arrangement, is described below. |
|
|
|
Commissions relating to brokerage and agency activities whereby CBIZ has primary
responsibility for the collection of premiums from insureds (agency or indirect
billing) are recognized as of the latter of the effective date of the insurance
policy or the date billed to the customer; commissions to be received directly from
insurance companies (direct billing) are recognized when the data necessary from
the carriers to properly record revenue becomes available; and life insurance
commissions are recognized when insurance coverage is afforded to the individual
under the policy. Commission revenue is reported net of sub-broker commissions, and
reserves for estimated policy cancellations and terminations. The cancellation and
termination reserve is based upon estimates and assumptions using historical
cancellation and termination experience and other current factors to project future
experience. CBIZ periodically reviews the adequacy of the reserve and makes
adjustments as necessary. The use of different estimates or assumptions could
produce different results. |
|
|
|
|
Commissions which are based upon certain performance targets are recognized at
the earlier of written notification that the target has been achieved, or cash
collection. |
|
|
|
|
Fee income is recognized in the period in which services are provided, and may
be based on actual hours incurred on an hourly fee basis, fixed fee arrangements,
or asset-based fees. |
|
|
|
|
Payroll Revenue is recognized when the actual payroll processing occurs. |
|
|
Medical Management Professionals Fees for services are primarily based on a percentage of
net collections of clients patient accounts receivable. As such, revenue is determinable,
earned, and recognized, when payments are received by our clients on their patient accounts.
Revenue earned on statement mailing services is recognized when statements are processed and
mailed. Revenue from the sale of billing systems is recognized upon installation of the
system, while the related system maintenance revenue is recognized over the period covered
by the maintenance agreement. |
|
|
|
National Practices The business units that comprise this practice group offer a variety of
services. A description of revenue recognition associated with the primary services is
provided below. |
|
|
|
Technology Consulting Revenue associated with hardware and software sales is
recognized upon delivery and acceptance of the product. Revenue associated with
installation |

CBIZ, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
|
|
|
is recognized as services are performed, and revenue associated with service
agreements is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period of the agreement.
Consulting revenue is recognized on an hourly or per diem fee basis as services are
performed. |
|
|
|
|
Health Care Consulting CBIZ bills clients based upon a predetermined
agreed-upon fixed fee or based on actual hours incurred on client projects at
expected net realizable rates per hour, plus agreed-upon out-of-pocket expenses, or
as a percentage of savings after contingencies have been resolved and verified by a
third party. |
|
|
|
|
Mergers & Acquisitions and Capital Advisory Revenue associated with
non-refundable retainers is recognized on a pro rata basis over the life of the
engagement. Revenue associated with success fee transactions is recognized when the
transaction is completed. |
|
|
Certain of our client arrangements encompass multiple deliverables. CBIZ accounts for these
arrangements in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force No. 00-21, Accounting for
Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables (EITF 00-21). If the deliverables meet the
criteria in EITF 00-21, the deliverables are divided into separate units of accounting and
revenue is allocated to the deliverables based on their relative fair values. Revenue for
each unit is recognized separately in accordance with CBIZs revenue recognition policy for
each unit. For those arrangements where the deliverables do not qualify as a separate unit
of accounting, revenue from all deliverables are treated as one accounting unit and
evaluated for appropriate accounting treatment based upon the underlying facts and
circumstances. |
|
|
|
Operating Expenses |
|
|
|
Operating expenses represent costs of service and other costs incurred to operate our
business units, and are primarily comprised of personnel and occupancy related expenses. |
|
|
|
Personnel costs include base compensation, commissions, payroll taxes, income or losses
earned on assets of the deferred compensation plan, and benefits, which are recognized as
expense as they are incurred. Personnel costs also include stock-based and incentive
compensation costs, which are estimated and accrued on a monthly basis. The ultimate
determination of incentive compensation is made after year-end results are finalized, and
therefore estimates are subject to change. Total personnel costs were $100.6 million and
$90.2 million for the three months ended and $309.3 million and $281.8 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. |
|
|
|
The largest components of occupancy costs are rent expense and utilities. Base rent expense
is recognized over respective lease terms, while utilities and common area maintenance
charges are recognized as incurred. Total occupancy costs were $9.4 million and $8.9 million
for the three months ended and $27.5 million and $26.6 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. |
|
|
|
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts |
|
|
|
CBIZ carries accounts receivable at their face amount less allowances for doubtful accounts,
and carries unbilled revenues at net realizable value. Assessing the collectibility of
receivables (billed and unbilled) requires management judgment. When evaluating the adequacy
of the allowance for doubtful accounts and the overall collectibility of receivables, CBIZ
analyzes historical bad debts, client credit-worthiness, the age of accounts receivable and
current economic trends and conditions. |
|
|
|
Funds Held for Clients and Client Fund Obligations |
|
|
|
Services provided by CBIZ include the preparation of payroll checks, federal, state, and
local payroll tax returns, and flexible spending account administration. In relation to
these services, CBIZ collects funds from its clients accounts in advance of paying these
client obligations. Funds that are collected before they are due are segregated and reported
separately as funds held for clients in the consolidated balance sheets. Other than
certain federal and state regulations pertaining to flexible
|
8
CBIZ, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
|
|
spending account administration, there are no regulatory or other contractual restrictions
placed on these funds. |
|
|
|
Funds held for clients may include cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments.
Short-term investments may include Auction Rate Securities (ARS), which are long-term
variable rate bonds that are priced and traded as short-term investments due to the
liquidity provided through the auction mechanism that generally occurs every 7 to 35 days.
Although ARS are considered to be highly liquid, they do not meet the definition of cash
equivalents due to the long-term maturity dates; therefore, ARS are classified as marketable
securities in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt
and Equity Securities, (SFAS No. 115). Funds held for clients and the related client fund
obligations are included in the consolidated balance sheets as current assets and current
liabilities, respectively. The amount of collected but not yet remitted funds may vary
significantly during the year. |
|
|
|
Variable Interest Entities |
|
|
|
In accordance with the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable
Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51 (FIN 46), as amended, CBIZ has
determined that its relationship with certain Certified Public Accounting (CPA) firms with
whom we maintain administrative service agreements (ASAs) qualify as variable interest
entities. The accompanying financial statements do not reflect the consolidation of the
variable interest entities, as the impact is not material to the financial condition,
results of operations or cash flows of CBIZ. |
|
|
|
The CPA firms with which CBIZ maintains ASAs operate as limited liability companies,
limited liability partnerships or professional corporations. The firms are separate legal
entities with separate governing bodies and officers. CBIZ has no ownership interest in any
of these CPA firms, and neither the existence of the ASAs nor the providing of services
thereunder is intended to constitute control of the CPA firms by CBIZ. CBIZ and the CPA
firms maintain their own respective liability and risk of loss in connection with
performance of each of its respective services, and CBIZ does not believe that its
arrangements with these CPA firms result in additional risk of loss. |
|
|
|
Fees earned by CBIZ under the ASAs are recorded as revenue (at net realizable value) in the
consolidated statements of operations. In the event that accounts receivable and unbilled
work in process become uncollectible by the CPA firms, the service fee due to CBIZ is
reduced on a pro-rata basis. Although the ASAs do not constitute control, CBIZ is one of
the beneficiaries of the agreements and may bear certain economic risks. |
|
|
|
Earnings per share |
|
|
|
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by
dividing net income by weighted average diluted shares. Weighted average diluted shares are
determined using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period
plus the dilutive effect of potential future issues of common stock relating the CBIZs
stock award programs, CBIZs convertible senior subordinated notes, and other potentially
dilutive securities. In calculating diluted earnings per share, the dilutive effect of
stock awards are computed using the average market price for the period, in accordance with
the treasury stock method. |
|
|
|
As further described in Note 4, CBIZs convertible senior subordinated notes (Notes) may
result in future issuances of CBIZ common stock. Under the net share settlement method,
potential shares issuable under the Notes will be considered dilutive, and will be included
in the calculation of weighted average diluted shares, if the Companys market price per
share exceeds the $10.63 conversion price of the Notes. As of September 30, 2007, the
Companys market price per share had not exceeded the conversion price of the Notes,
therefore, the diluted earnings per share calculation was not impacted by this feature. |

|
New Accounting Pronouncements |
|
|
|
Effective January 1, 2007, CBIZ adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for
Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income tax
positions and requires applying a more likely than not threshold to the recognition of tax
positions based on the technical merits of the position. FIN 48 also provides guidance on
derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods,
disclosure and transition. |
|
|
|
The adoption of FIN 48 resulted in a $0.7 million decrease in the total liability for
unrecognized tax benefits, which was recorded as an adjustment reducing the January 1, 2007
accumulated deficit. Unrecognized tax benefits as of January 1, 2007 totaled $4.0 million,
of which $2.4 million would impact the effective tax rate, if recognized. In addition, total
unrecognized tax benefits include $0.5 million in tax positions for which there is
uncertainty as to the timing of deductibility. If the taxing authorities do not allow our
position of deducting these benefits over a shorter period of time, payment of cash to such
authorities would be required in an earlier period; CBIZs annual effective tax rate would
not be impacted. |
|
|
|
CBIZ recognizes interest income, interest expense, and penalties related to unrecognized tax
benefits as a component of income tax expense. As of January 1, 2007, the total amount
accrued for interest and penalties was $0.5 million and $0.2 million, respectively. |
|
|
|
The Company is currently under audit by the Internal Revenue Service for tax years 2003 and
2004 and may be required to make payments within the next twelve months related to this
audit in the range of $2.2 million to $2.8 million. Payment of these amounts would not
impact CBIZs annual effective tax rate or the Companys earnings for 2007. |
|
|
|
CBIZ and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S., Canada, and most state
jurisdictions, and is subject to U.S. federal tax examinations for the years ending December
31, 2003 and thereafter. The majority of CBIZs state and local or non-U.S. income tax
returns for years ending before December 31, 2002 are no longer subject to tax authority
examinations. |

Borrowing Arrangements |
|
|
|
Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes |
|
|
|
On May 30, 2006, CBIZ sold and issued $100.0 million in convertible senior subordinated
notes (the
Notes). The Notes are direct, unsecured, senior subordinated obligations of CBIZ and rank
(i) junior in right of payment to all of CBIZs existing and future senior indebtedness,
(ii) equal in right of payment with any other future senior subordinated indebtedness, and
(iii) senior in right of payment to all subordinated indebtedness. The terms of the Notes
are governed by the Indenture dated as of May 30, 2006, with U.S. Bank National Association
as trustee. The Notes and indenture are further described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2006. |
|
|
|
The Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.125% per annum, payable in cash semi-annually in
arrears on each June 1 and December 1 beginning December 1, 2006. The Notes mature on June
1, 2026 and may be redeemed by CBIZ in whole or in part anytime after June 6, 2011. The
Notes are convertible into CBIZ common stock at a rate equal to 94.1035 shares per $1,000
principal amount of the Notes (equal to an initial conversion price of approximately $10.63
per share), subject to adjustment as described in the indenture. Upon conversion, CBIZ will
deliver for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes, an amount consisting of cash equal to the
lesser of $1,000 or the conversion value (as defined in the Indenture) and, to the extent
that the conversion value exceeds $1,000, at CBIZs election, cash or shares of CBIZ common
stock in respect of the remainder. |
|
|
|
Bank Debt |
|
|
|
CBIZ maintains a $100.0 million unsecured credit facility with Bank of America as agent bank
for a group of five participating banks. The credit facility has a five year term expiring
February 2011, and an option to increase the commitment to $150.0 million. CBIZ had
approximately $80.3 million of available funds under the credit facility at September 30,
2007. Total availability is reduced by letters of credit and obligations determined to be
other indebtedness in accordance with the terms of the credit facility. |
|
|
The credit facility provides CBIZ operating flexibility and funding to support seasonal
working capital needs and other strategic initiatives such as acquisitions and share
repurchases. Under the credit facility, loans are charged an interest rate consisting of a
base rate or Eurodollar rate plus an applicable margin. Additionally, a commitment fee of
22.5 to 47.5 basis points is charged on the unused portion of the credit facility.

CBIZ had $12.0 million of outstanding borrowings under its credit facility at September 30,

The credit facility is subject to certain financial covenants that may limit CBIZs ability
to borrow up to the total commitment amount. Covenants require CBIZ to meet certain
requirements with respect to (i) minimum net worth; (ii) maximum leverage ratio; and (iii) a
minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. The credit facility also places restrictions on CBIZs
ability to create liens or other encumbrances, to make certain payments, investments, loans
and guarantees and to sell or otherwise dispose of a substantial portion of assets, or to
merge or consolidate with an unaffiliated entity. According to the terms of the credit
facility, CBIZ is not permitted to declare or make any dividend payments, other than
dividend payments made by one of its wholly owned subsidiaries to the parent company. The
credit facility contains a provision that, in the event of a defined change in control, the
credit facility may be terminated. |
|
|
|
There are no limitations on CBIZs ability to acquire businesses or repurchase CBIZ common
stock provided that the Leverage Ratio is less than 2.0. The Leverage Ratio is calculated as
total debt (excluding the convertible senior subordinated notes) compared to EBITDA as
defined by the facility. |
|
5. |
|
Commitments and Contingencies |
|
|
|
Acquisitions |
|
|
|
The purchase price that CBIZ pays for businesses and client lists generally consist of two
components: an up-front non-contingent portion, and a portion which is contingent upon the
acquired businesses or client lists actual future performance. Non-contingent purchase price
is recorded at the date of acquisition and contingent purchase price is recorded as it is
earned. Acquisitions are further discussed in Note 8. |
|
|
|
Indemnifications |
|
|
|
CBIZ has various agreements in which we may be obligated to indemnify the other party with
respect to certain matters. Generally, these indemnification clauses are included in
contracts arising in the normal course of business under which we customarily agree to hold
the other party harmless against losses arising from a breach of representations,
warranties, covenants or agreements, related to matters such as title to assets sold and
certain tax matters. Payment by CBIZ under such indemnification clauses are generally
conditioned upon the other party making a claim. Such claims are typically subject to
challenge by CBIZ and to dispute resolution procedures specified in the particular contract.
Further, CBIZs obligations under these agreements may be limited in terms of time and/or
amount and, in some instances, CBIZ may have recourse against third parties for certain
payments made by CBIZ. It is not possible to predict the maximum potential amount of future
payments under these indemnification agreements due to the conditional nature of CBIZs
obligations and the unique facts of each particular agreement. Historically, CBIZ has not
made any payments under these agreements that have been material individually or in the
aggregate. As of September 30, 2007, CBIZ was not aware of any material obligations arising
under indemnification agreements that would require payments. |
|
|
|
Employment Agreements |
|
|
|

|
employment provisions. CBIZ accrues for amounts payable under
these contracts and arrangements as triggering events occur and obligations become known.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, payments regarding such
contracts and arrangements were not material. |

Letters of Credit and Guarantees |
|
|
|
CBIZ provides letters of credit to landlords (lessors) of its leased premises in lieu of
cash security deposits, which totaled $2.0 million as of September 30, 2007 and December 31,
2006. In addition,
CBIZ provides license bonds to various state agencies to meet certain licensing
requirements. The amount of license bonds outstanding was $1.4 million and $1.6 million
at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. |
|
|
|
CBIZ acted as guarantor on various letters of credit for a CPA firm with which it has an
affiliation, which totaled $1.3 million as of September 30, 2007 and $1.7 million as of
December 31, 2006. In accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 45, Guarantors Accounting
and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of
Others, as amended, CBIZ has recognized a liability for the fair value of the obligations
undertaken in issuing these guarantees, which is recorded as other current liabilities in
the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Management does not expect any material
changes to result from these instruments as performance under the guarantees is not expected
to be required. |
|
|
|
Legal Proceedings |
|
|
|
CBIZ is from time to time subject to claims and suits arising in the ordinary course of
business. Although the ultimate disposition of such proceedings is not presently
determinable, management does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters will
have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations or cash
flows of CBIZ. |

Acquisitions |
|
|
|
During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, CBIZ acquired an accounting firm, a
medical billing service company and four client lists. The accounting firm is located in
Phoenix, Arizona and is reported in the Financial Services practice group. The medical
billing services company is based in Montgomery, Alabama and is reported in the Medical
Management Professionals practice group. Aggregate consideration for the acquisitions
consisted of approximately $10.4 million in cash and 62,400 shares of common stock (valued
at approximately $0.4 million) paid at closing, and up to an additional $8.8 million
(payable in cash and common stock) which is contingent on certain future revenue and
earnings targets. In addition, CBIZ paid approximately $8.5 million in cash and issued
approximately 21,800 shares of common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2007
as contingent proceeds for previous acquisitions. |
|
|
|
During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, CBIZ acquired a medical billing services
company, two property and casualty insurance businesses and two client lists. The medical
billing services company is based in Flint, Michigan and was merged into the Medical
Management Professionals practice group. The property and casualty insurance businesses,
one located in San Jose, California, and the other with offices in St. Joseph and Kansas
City, Missouri, offer property and casualty, commercial bonds and employee benefits. Both
businesses were merged into the Employee Services practice group. Aggregate consideration
for these acquisitions consisted of approximately $13.5 million in cash (net of cash
acquired) and 232,400 shares of restricted common stock (valued at approximately $1.5
million) paid at closing, and up to an additional $9.6 million (payable in cash and stock)
which is contingent upon the future financial performance of the acquired businesses and
client lists. In addition, CBIZ paid approximately $7.1 million in cash and issued
approximately 159,000 shares of common stock during the nine months ended September 30,
2006, as contingent proceeds and towards notes payable for previous acquisitions. |
|
|
|
The operating results of these businesses have been included in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements since the dates of acquisition. Client lists and
non-compete agreements were recorded at fair value at the time of acquisition. The excess of
purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired, (including client lists and
non-compete agreements) was allocated to goodwill. Additions to goodwill, client lists and
other intangible assets resulting from acquisitions and contingent consideration earned
during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 were as follows (in thousands): |

Discontinued Operations and Divestitures |
|
|
|
From time to time, CBIZ will divest (through sale or closure) business operations that do
not contribute to the Companys long-term objectives for growth, or that are not
complementary to its target service offerings and markets. Divestitures are classified as
discontinued operations provided they meet the criteria as provided in SFAS 144, Accounting
for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets and EITF No. 03-13, Applying the
Conditions in Paragraph 42 of FASB Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets in Determining Whether to Report Discontinued Operations. |
|
|
|
During the second quarter of 2007, CBIZ committed to the divestiture of two operations in
the Financial Services practice group. One of these operations was sold on September 30,
2007 and the other remained available for sale. Proceeds for the sold operation consisted of
$11.1 million cash and resulted in a pre-tax gain of $3.9 million. This gain is reported in
Gain on disposal of discontinued operations, net of tax in the accompanying consolidated
statements of operations. In addition, CBIZ |
15
CBIZ, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
|
|
may receive contingent future proceeds for up to
three years based on a percentage of certain sales revenues of the divested operation,
subject to specific limitations. |
|
|
|
During the fourth quarter of 2006, CBIZ committed to the divestiture of two operations, one
each from the Employee Services and Financial Services practice groups. The Financial
Services operation was sold during the first quarter of 2007 for proceeds that consisted of
$0.6 million cash and $0.6 million in notes receivable, and resulted in a pre-tax loss of
$0.1 million. The Employee Services operation was sold during the second quarter of 2007 for
proceeds of $14.1 million cash and resulted in a pre-tax gain of $8.6 million. These gains
and losses are reported in Gain on disposal of discontinued operations, net of tax in the
accompanying consolidated statements of operations. In addition, CBIZ may receive contingent
future proceeds not to exceed $2.0 million, provided the divested Employee Services
operation achieves certain revenue targets. These proceeds will be recorded as gain on sale
of discontinued operations in the period they are earned. |
|
|
|
In addition to the proceeds described above, CBIZ received payments of $1.7 million during
the nine months ended September 30, 2007 on outstanding notes receivable related to
divestitures made in prior years. The gains and losses related to these divestitures were
recognized in previous years. |
|
|
|
During the second quarter of 2006, CBIZ sold an operation from the Financial Services
practice group which was classified as available for sale at March 31, 2006. During the
first quarter of 2006, the unit was written down to its estimated fair value, resulting in a
pre-tax loss of approximately $0.2 million. CBIZ also sold certain property tax operations
from a business unit in the National Practices group during the second quarter of 2006. The
business was classified as a discontinued operation in 2005, and the sale resulted in a
pre-tax loss of approximately $0.5 million. In addition, CBIZ recognized pre-tax gains of
$0.9 million and $2.0 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006,
respectively, for contingent proceeds related to a business that was sold in 2005. These
gains and losses are reported in Gain on disposal of discontinued operations, net of tax,
in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. As a result of these
transactions, CBIZ received cash proceeds totaling $7.3 million during the nine months ended
September 30, 2006. |
|
|
|
CBIZ may earn additional proceeds on the sale of certain client lists (sold in previous
years), which are contingent upon future revenue generated by the client lists. CBIZ records
these proceeds as other income when they are earned. In addition, CBIZ has deferred gains on
the sale of certain client lists, which are recorded as other non-current liabilities in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The gains are being recognized as gain on sale of
operations, net as cash payments are received. |
|
|
|
For those businesses that qualified for treatment as discontinued operations, the assets,
liabilities and results of operations are reported separately in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements. Revenue and loss from operations of discontinued
operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 were as follows

Segment Disclosures |

CBIZs business units have been aggregated into four practice groups: Financial Services;
Employee Services; Medical Management Professionals; 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; 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 practice group is
provided in the following table: |

CBIZ, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
|
|
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 incentive
compensation, earnings or losses on assets held in the deferred compensation plan,
infrastructure costs and consolidation and integration charges. |
|
|
|
Accounting policies of the practice groups are the same as those described in Note 1,
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. Upon consolidation, all 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 the costs of certain infrastructure functions (such as
information systems, finance and accounting, human resources, legal and marketing), which
are reported in the Corporate and Other segment.
Segment information for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006
was as follows (in thousands): |

Certain external relationships and regulatory factors currently impacting CBIZs practice groups
are provided in the discussion below.
Financial Services
Restrictions imposed by independence requirements and state accountancy laws and regulations
preclude CBIZ from rendering audit and attest services (other than internal audit services). As
such, CBIZ and its subsidiaries maintain joint-referral relationships and administrative service
agreements (ASAs) with independent licensed Certified Public Accounting (CPA) firms under which
audit and attest services may be provided to CBIZs clients by such CPA firms. These firms are
owned by licensed CPAs, a vast majority of whom are also employed by CBIZ subsidiaries.
Under these ASAs, CBIZ provides a range of services to the CPA firms, including (but not limited
to): administrative functions such as office management, bookkeeping, and accounting; preparing
marketing and promotion materials; providing office space, computer equipment, and systems support;
and leasing administrative and professional staff. Services are performed in exchange for a fee.
Fees earned by CBIZ under the ASAs are recorded as revenue in the accompanying consolidated
statements of operations and amounted to approximately $15.6 million and $15.9 million for the
three months and $61.0 million and $56.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and
2006, respectively. The majority of these fees are related to services rendered to privately-held
clients. In the event that accounts receivable and unbilled work in process become uncollectible by
the CPA firms, the service fee due to CBIZ is reduced on a pro rata basis. The ASAs have terms of
up to eighteen years, are renewable upon agreement by both parties, and have certain rights of
extension and termination.
20
With respect to CPA firm clients that are required to file audited financial statements with the
SEC, the SEC staff views CBIZ and the CPA firms with which we have contractual relationships as a
single entity in applying independence rules established by the accountancy regulators and the SEC.
Accordingly, we do not hold any financial interest in an SEC-reporting attest client of an
associated CPA firm, enter into any business relationship with an SEC-reporting attest client that
the CPA firm performing an audit could not maintain, or sell any non-audit services to an
SEC-reporting attest client that the CPA firm performing an audit could not maintain, under the
auditor independence limitations set out in the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other professional
accountancy independence standards. Applicable professional standards generally permit the
Financial Services practice group to provide additional services to privately-held companies, in
addition to those services which may be provided to SEC-reporting attest clients of an associated
CPA firm. CBIZ and the CPA firms with which we are associated have implemented policies and
procedures designed to enable us to maintain independence and freedom from conflicts of interest in
accordance with applicable standards. Given the pre-existing limits set by CBIZ on its
relationships with SEC-reporting attest clients of associated CPA firms, and the limited number and
size of such clients, the imposition of Sarbanes-Oxley Act independence limitations did not and is
not expected to materially affect CBIZ revenues.
The CPA firms with which CBIZ maintains ASAs may operate as limited liability companies, limited
liability partnerships or professional corporations. The firms are separate legal entities with
separate governing bodies and officers. Neither the existence of the ASAs nor the providing of
services thereunder is intended to constitute control of the CPA firms by CBIZ. CBIZ and the CPA
firms maintain their own respective liability and risk of loss in connection with performance of
their respective services. Attest services can not be performed by any individual or entity which
is not licensed to do so. CBIZ can not perform audits, reviews, compilations, or other attest
services, does not contract to perform them and does not provide audit, review, compilation, or
other attest reports. Given this legal prohibition and course of conduct, CBIZ does not believe it
is likely that we would bear the risk of litigation losses related to attest services provided by
the CPA firms.
Although the ASAs do not constitute control, CBIZ is one of the beneficiaries of the agreements and
may bear certain economic risks. As such, the CPA firms with which CBIZ maintains administrative
service agreements qualify as variable interest entities under FASB Interpretation No. 46,
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN 46), as amended. See further discussion in Note
1 of the consolidated financial statements included herewith.
Employee Services
CBIZs Employee Services group maintains relationships with many different insurance carriers. Some
of these carriers have compensation arrangements with CBIZ whereby some portion of payments due may
be contingent upon meeting certain performance goals, or upon CBIZ providing client services that
would otherwise be provided by the carriers. These compensation arrangements are provided to CBIZ
as a result of our performance and expertise, and may result in enhancing CBIZs ability to access
certain insurance markets and services on behalf of CBIZ clients. The aggregate of these payments
received during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 were less than 2% of
consolidated CBIZ revenue.
State insurance regulators have conducted inquiries to clarify the nature of compensation
arrangements within the insurance brokerage industry. To date, CBIZ, along with other major
insurance brokerage companies, has received requests for information regarding our compensation
arrangements related to these practices from such authorities. In addition to inquiries from
various states insurance departments, CBIZ has received subpoenas from the New York Attorney
General, the Connecticut Attorney General, and the Ohio Department of Insurance regarding its
insurance brokerage compensation arrangements. CBIZ has cooperated fully in each inquiry. CBIZ has
discussed the nature of these inquires and compensation arrangements with each of the major
insurance carriers with whom we have established these arrangements. We believe that our
arrangements are lawful and consistent with industry practice, and we expect that any changes to
compensation arrangements in the future will have a minimal impact on CBIZ, barring future
regulatory action. Future regulatory action may limit or eliminate our ability to enhance revenue
through all current compensation arrangements, and may result in a diminution of future revenue
from these sources.
21
Medical Management Professionals
Changes in some managed care plans and federal Medicare and Medicaid physician and practice expense
reimbursement rules and rates have, and are expected to continue to, adversely affect revenue in
our existing physician and medical billing and collections business. The Deficit Reduction Act of
2005 (Deficit Reduction Act) provides for a reduction and cap beginning in 2007 of reimbursement
for certain fees and charges related to imaging services and facilities of offices, imaging centers
and independent diagnostic testing facilities. In addition, certain managed care payors may impose
precertification and other management programs which could limit or control the use of, and
reimbursement for, imaging and diagnostic services. Certain managed care payors may institute Pay
for Performance and quality initiative programs that could limit or control physician, office
and facility, and practice services and procedures, as well as reimbursement costs, and replace
volume-based payment methods. Since our physician and medical billing and collections business is
typically paid a portion of the revenue collected on behalf of our clients, any reduction in the
volume of services or reimbursement rates for such services or expenses for which our clients are
eligible to be paid may adversely affect our ability to generate revenue and maintain margins. CBIZ
will make its best efforts to take appropriate actions to maintain margins in this business,
however there is no assurance that we will be able to maintain margins at historic levels. These
changes in reimbursement rates may provide CBIZ with the opportunity to increase the number of
clients to which medical coding and billing services are provided, as they may cause physicians who
do not currently utilize third party providers to consider the use of CBIZs medical coding and
billing services.
Executive Summary
During 2007, CBIZ has continued to make acquisitions in accordance with our strategy to strengthen
operations and customer service capabilities by selectively acquiring businesses that expand our
market position and strengthen our existing service offerings. During the first quarter of 2007,
CBIZ acquired an accounting and tax firm located in Phoenix, Arizona, which is reported in the
Financial Services practice group. During the second quarter, CBIZ acquired a medical billing
service company located in Montgomery, Alabama, which is reported in CBIZ MMP. Effective November
1, 2007, CBIZ acquired an emergency medicine billing company which is headquartered in Ponte Vedra
Beach, Florida and will be reported in the CBIZ MMP practice group.
In an on-going effort to rationalize our business, CBIZ has divested (and may continue to divest)
business units that do not contribute to our long-term objectives for growth, or that are not
complementary to our target service offerings and markets. During the nine months ended September
30, 2007, CBIZ sold three business units which were classified as discontinued operations. Two of
these business units offered accounting and tax services and were previously reported in the
Financial Services practice group, and the third business unit offered specialty insurance services
and was previously reported in the Employee Services practice group. One operation remained
available for sale at September 30, 2007, which was subsequently
divested effective October 31, 2007.
CBIZ continually strives to create value for our shareholders, and believes that repurchasing
shares of its common stock is a use of cash that provides such value. Accordingly, CBIZ purchased
approximately 0.8 million shares of its common stock in the open market at a total cost of $6.1
million during the third quarter of 2007. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, CBIZ
purchased approximately 4.4 million shares of its common stock as a total cost of $30.7 million.
At the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of CBIZ, Inc. held on May 17, 2007, the stockholders approved
the discounted Employee Stock Purchase Plan which became effective August 16, 2007. Under this
plan, employees of CBIZ are able to purchase shares of common stock at the market rate less a
discount.
Results of Operations Continuing Operations
Same-unit revenue represents total revenue adjusted to reflect comparable periods of activity for
acquisitions and divestitures. For example, for a business acquired on September 1, 2006, revenue
for the month of September would be included in same-unit revenue for the third quarter of both
years; revenue for
22
the period January 1, 2007 through August 31, 2007 would be reported as revenue from acquired
businesses.
Revenue from divested operations represents operations that were sold or closed and did not meet
the criteria for treatment as discontinued operations.

A detailed discussion of revenue by practice group is included under Operating Practice Groups
below.
Operating expenses Operating expenses increased to $134.8 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2007, from $121.7 million for the comparable period in 2006, an increase of $13.1
million or 10.7%. As a percentage of revenue, operating expenses were 88.8% for each of the three
months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006. The primary components of operating expenses are
personnel costs and occupancy costs, representing 81.6% and 81.5% of total operating expenses and
72.5% and 72.3% of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Gross margin Since the majority of our operating costs are relatively fixed in the short term,
gross margin as a percentage of revenue normally improves with revenue growth. However, for the
three months ended September 30, 2007 versus the comparable period in 2006, gross margin did not
improve. This was the result of the continued revenue impact of certain reductions in the 2007
Medicare reimbursement rates (including those that occurred as the result of the Deficit Reduction
Act) in the MMP practice group, and the result of a transaction completed by the mergers and acquisitions
business in the third quarter of 2006 versus no transactions in the third quarter of 2007.
Operating expenses and gross margin by practice group are discussed in further detail under
Operating Practice Groups below.
Corporate general and administrative expenses Corporate general and administrative expenses
increased to $6.4 million and 4.2% of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2007, from
$5.6 million and 4.1% of revenue for the comparable period in 2006. The increase in corporate
general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to higher compensation costs during the third
quarter of 2007 compared to the third quarter of 2006, including costs associated with the
incentive compensation plan which are estimated and accrued on a monthly basis
(see further discussion in the Critical Accounting Policies Incentive Compensation).
Depreciation and amortization expense Depreciation and amortization expense was $3.8 million and
2.5% of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2007, compared to $4.1 million and 3.0% of
revenue for the comparable period in 2006. The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense
was primarily due to lower depreciation as a result of some large assets becoming fully depreciated
during the
23
year, partially offset by an increase in the amortization of intangible assets as the result of
acquired businesses and client lists.
Interest expense Interest expense was $1.0 million and $0.8 million for the three-month periods
ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Average debt was $107.7 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2007, compared to $100.0 million for the comparable period in 2006, and
average interest rates were 3.4% and 3.1% during the three months ended September 30, 2007 and
2006, respectively. Higher average debt and interest rates in the third quarter of 2007 compared to
the third quarter of 2006 was primarily the result of borrowings on CBIZs line of credit to meet
short term cash requirements in the third quarter of 2007. During both three month periods ended
September 30, 2007 and 2006, average outstanding debt included $100.0 million of convertible senior
subordinated notes (Notes) which carry a fixed interest rate of 3.125%. See Note 4 to the
accompanying consolidated financial statements for further discussion of these Notes.
Other income, net Other income, net was $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30,
2007, and $0.9 million for the comparable period in 2006. Other income, net is primarily comprised
of interest income, adjustments to the fair value of investments held in a rabbi trust related to
the deferred compensation plan, gains and losses on sales of assets, and miscellaneous income such
as contingent royalties from previous divestitures. Adjustments to the fair value of investments
related to the deferred compensation plan are offset by adjustments to compensation costs which are
recorded as operating or corporate general and administrative expenses in the consolidated
statements of operations, and thus do not have an impact on CBIZs net income. The decrease in
other income during the third quarter of 2007 from the comparable period in 2006 was primarily the
result of a decrease in the fair value of investments related to the deferred compensation plan.
Income tax expense CBIZ recorded income tax expense from continuing operations of $2.6 million
and $2.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The
effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was 39.8%, compared to an
effective rate of 38.7% for the comparable period in 2006. The increase in the effective tax rate
for the third quarter of 2007 versus the comparable period in 2006 was primarily the result of an
increase in estimated tax reserves related to the IRS audits discussed in Note 1 to the
accompanying consolidated financial statements.

The growth in same-unit revenue was due to an increase in the aggregate number of hours charged to
clients for consulting, valuation and litigation support services, and price increases for
traditional accounting and tax services. The growth in revenue from acquired businesses was
provided by a firm in Phoenix, Arizona which was acquired during the first quarter of 2007.
The largest components of operating expenses for the Financial Services practice group are
personnel costs, occupancy costs and travel and meal costs representing 91.3% and 90.2% of total
operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Personnel
costs
24
increased $6.2 million to 72.0% of revenue for the three months ended
September 30, 2007 from 71.1% of revenue for the comparable period in 2006. The increase in
personnel costs was primarily due to additional salary costs incurred for new employees, annual
merit increases, and an increase in benefit costs. CBIZ continues to add personnel in the Financial
Services practice group in order to accommodate the growth in revenue. Personnel costs increased as a
percentage of revenue as a result of variable compensation which is based on unit
results. Occupancy costs are relatively fixed in nature but were $0.3 million higher for the three months ended September 30, 2007 versus the comparable
period in 2006 due to
additional space required to accommodate growth. Both occupancy and travel and meal costs decreased as a percentage of revenue for the three months ended
September 30, 2007 versus the comparable period in 2006.
Gross margin improvement was primarily due to leveraging the increase in revenues against operating
expenses which are generally fixed in the short term.

The increase in same-unit revenue was primarily attributable to growth in the retail, payroll
service and specialty life insurance businesses.
The largest components of operating expenses for the Employee Services practice group are personnel
costs, including commissions paid to third party brokers, and occupancy costs representing 86.8% and 86.6% of total operating expenses for the three
months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Personnel costs increased $2.6 million, and
decreased as a percentage of revenue to 64.2% for the third quarter of 2007 from 65.1% for the
comparable period in 2006. Personnel cost dollars increased with the growth in revenue as the sales
force is compensated on a variable basis. Personnel costs decreased as a percentage of revenue due
to a portion of the revenue increase being from non-commissionable sources. Occupancy costs are
relatively fixed in nature and were approximately $2.3 million for the third quarters of 2007 and
2006.
The increase in gross margin was primarily due to leveraging the increase in revenues against the
operating expenses which are generally fixed in the short term.

The increase in same-unit revenue was primarily attributable to an increase in the volume of
procedures processed for existing clients, and an increase in net new business sold. This growth
was partially offset by certain reductions in the 2007 Medicare reimbursement rates, including
those that occurred as the result of
25
the Deficit Reduction Act which is further described under Overview Medical Management
Professionals. The growth in revenue from acquired businesses was provided by a medical billing
business based in Montgomery, Alabama which was acquired during the second quarter of 2007.
The largest components of operating expenses for MMP are personnel costs, occupancy costs and
office expenses (primarily postage), representing 87.3% and 88.3% of total operating expenses for
the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Personnel costs increased by $2.1
million to 58.0% of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2007, from 56.2% of revenue
for the comparable period in 2006. Acquired businesses contributed $0.6 million of the increase in
personnel costs; the remaining increase was primarily the result of annual merit increases and an
increase in headcount to support the growth in revenue. Occupancy costs are relatively fixed in
nature and were approximately $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.
Office expense dollars did not change for the three months ended September 30, 2007 from the
comparable period in 2006, but decreased as a percentage of revenue to 8.2% from 9.1%.
The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to impacts of certain reductions in the 2007
Medicare reimbursement rates, including those that occurred as the result of the Deficit Reduction
Act. Since MMP is typically paid a portion of the revenue collected on behalf of its clients,
reductions in client revenue that resulted from the reduction in reimbursement rates had an adverse
affect on MMPs revenue and margins.

Approximately half of the decrease in revenue was attributable to the mergers and acquisitions
business completing a transaction during the third quarter of 2006 and no transactions during the
third quarter of 2007. The remainder of the decrease in revenue was the result of lower product
sales by one of the technology units.
The largest components of operating expenses for the National Practices group are personnel costs,
direct costs and occupancy costs, representing 93.3% and 91.8% of total operating expenses for the
three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Collectively these expenses increased
by $0.1 million to 86.2% of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2007 from 81.9% of
revenue for the comparable period in 2006, and consisted of an increase in personnel costs offset
by a decrease in direct costs. The increase in personnel costs was primarily related to annual
merit increases. The decrease in direct costs relates to product costs which declined as a result
of the decline in product sales. As the increase in expenses was not significant, the increase in
expenses as a percentage of revenue was the result of the decline in revenue.
The decline in gross margin was primarily the result of a transaction completed by the mergers and
acquisitions business during the third quarter of 2006 versus no transactions during the third
quarter of 2007. Transactions completed by the mergers and acquisitions business typically result
in a large amount of revenue for CBIZ, with minimal incremental cost; thus the number and size of
transactions completed by the mergers and acquisition business may have a significant impact on
gross margin. This decline in gross margin by the mergers and acquisitions business was partially
offset by an overall improvement in gross margin by the technology businesses.

A detailed discussion of revenue by practice group is included under Operating Practice Groups
below.
Operating expenses Operating expenses increased to $412.5 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2007, from $377.0 million for the comparable period in 2006, an increase of $35.5
million or 9.4%. As a percentage of revenue, operating expenses were 84.6% and 84.5% for the nine
months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The primary components of operating
expenses are personnel costs and occupancy costs, representing 81.7% and 81.8% of total operating
expenses and 69.1% of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006,
respectively. Personnel costs included a $1.0 million increase over the prior year due to
appreciation in the fair value of investments held in relation to the deferred compensation plan.
This increase in compensation was offset by the same increase to other income and thus, did not
impact CBIZs net income.
Gross margin Since the majority of our operating costs are relatively fixed in the short term,
gross margin as a percentage of revenue normally improves with revenue growth. However, for the
nine months ended September 30, 2007 versus the comparable period in 2006, gross margin as a
percent of revenue declined to 15.4% from 15.5%. This decline was caused by several factors
including the continued revenue impact of certain reductions in the 2007 Medicare reimbursement
rates (including those that occurred as the result of the Deficit Reduction Act) in the MMP practice group,
and the result of three transactions completed by the merger and acquisition business during the
nine months ended September 30, 2006 versus no transactions in 2007. A more comprehensive analysis
of operating expenses and their impact on gross margin is discussed by operating practice group
below.
Corporate general and administrative expenses Corporate general and administrative expenses were
$20.5 million and $19.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006,
respectively. As a percentage of revenue, corporate general and administrative expenses decreased
to 4.2% from 4.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Depreciation and amortization expense Depreciation and amortization expense was $11.8 million
and 2.4% of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared to $11.9 million and
2.7% of revenue for the comparable period in 2006. The decrease in depreciation and amortization
expense was primarily due to lower depreciation as a result of some large assets becoming fully
depreciated during the year, partially offset by an increase in the amortization of intangible
assets as the result of acquired businesses and client lists.
Interest expense Interest expense was $3.4 million and $2.5 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Average debt was $116.2 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2007, compared to $74.2 million for the comparable period in 2006, and average
interest
27
rates were 3.7% and 4.3% during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Higher average debt and lower average interest rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2007
compared to the same period in 2006, was primarily the result of CBIZ completing a $100.0 million
offering of convertible senior subordinated notes (Notes) on May 30, 2006 which carry a fixed
interest rate of 3.125%. See Note 4 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for
further discussion of these notes.
Other income, net Other income, net was $3.3 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2007, and $2.7 million for the comparable period in 2006, an increase of $0.6 million. Other income
(expense), net is primarily comprised of interest income, adjustments to the fair value of
investments held in a rabbi trust related to the deferred compensation plan, gains and losses on
sales of assets, and miscellaneous income such as contingent royalties from previous divestitures.
Adjustments to the fair value of investments related to the deferred compensation plan are offset
by adjustments to compensation costs which are recorded as operating or corporate general and
administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations, and thus do not have on
impact an CBIZs net income. The increase in other income during the nine months ended September
30, 2007 from the comparable period in 2006 was primarily the result of an increase in the fair
value of investments related to the deferred compensation plan, offset by lower contingent
royalties received from previous divestitures. In addition, CBIZ recognized a one-time life
insurance benefit of $0.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 that did not
occur in 2007.
Income tax expense CBIZ recorded income tax expense from continuing operations of $17.7 million
and $15.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The
effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was 41.2%, compared to an effective
rate of 40.1% for the comparable period in 2006. The increase in the effective tax rate for the
nine months ended September 30, 2007 from the comparable period in 2006 was primarily the result of
an increase in estimated tax reserves related to the IRS audits discussed in Note 1 to the
accompanying consolidated financial statements.

The growth in same-unit revenue was due to an increase in the aggregate number of hours charged to
clients for consulting, valuation and litigation support services, and price increases for
traditional accounting and tax services. The growth in revenue from acquired businesses was
provided by a firm in Phoenix which was acquired during the first quarter of 2007.
The largest components of operating expenses for the Financial Services practice group are
personnel costs, occupancy costs and travel and meal costs, representing 90.6% of total operating
expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006. Personnel costs increased $14.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 versus
the comparable period in 2006, and were 64.6% of revenue for each of the nine month periods. The
dollar increase in personnel costs was primarily due to additional salary costs incurred for new
employees, annual merit increases, increases in variable compensation which is based on unit
results, and an increase in benefit costs. CBIZ continues to add personnel in the Financial
Services practice group in order to accommodate
28
revenue growth. Occupancy costs are relatively fixed in nature but increased $0.8 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 versus the comparable period in 2006 due to
additional space required to accommodate growth. Travel and meal costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 were $0.4 million higher than the comparable
period in 2006.
Both occupancy and travel and meal costs decreased as a percentage of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 versus the comparable period in 2006.
Gross margin improvement was primarily due to leveraging the increase in revenues against increases
in occupancy and travel and meal costs.

The increase in same-unit revenue was primarily attributable to growth in the retail, payroll
service and specialty life insurance businesses. The growth in revenue from acquired businesses was
provided by a property and casualty business in San Jose, California which was acquired during the
first quarter of 2006, and a property and casualty business with offices in St. Joseph and Kansas
City, Missouri, which was acquired during the second quarter of 2006.
The largest components of operating expenses for the Employee Services practice group are personnel
costs, including commissions paid to third party brokers, and occupancy costs, representing 86.2% and 86.5% of total operating expenses for the nine
months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Personnel costs increased $7.8 million to
62.2% of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 from 62.5% of revenue for the
comparable period in 2006. Acquired businesses contributed $0.8 million of the increase in
personnel costs; the remainder of the increase was primarily the result of the growth in revenue as
the sales force is typically compensated on a variable basis, and due to investments in leadership, sales and service personnel to better
position the practice group for future growth. Occupancy costs are relatively fixed in nature and
were approximately $6.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.
The increase in gross margin was primarily due to leveraging the increase in revenues against the
operating expenses which are generally fixed in the short term.

The increase in same-unit revenue was primarily attributable to an increase in the volume of
procedures processed for existing clients, and an increase in net new business sold (new contracts
signed subsequent
29
to January 1, 2006, less terminated business in the same period). This growth was partially offset
by certain reductions in the 2007 Medicare reimbursement rates, including those that occurred as
the result of the Deficit Reduction Act which is further described under Overview Medical
Management Professionals. The growth in revenue from acquired businesses was provided by a medical
billing business based in Montgomery, Alabama which was acquired during the second quarter of 2007.
The largest components of operating expenses for MMP are personnel costs, occupancy costs and
office expenses (primarily postage), representing 87.9% and 88.5% of total operating expenses for
the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Personnel costs increased by $5.2
million to 59.4% of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, from 57.5% of revenue for
the comparable period in 2006. Acquired businesses contributed $1.0 million of the increase in
personnel costs; the remaining increase was primarily the result of annual merit increases and an
increase in headcount to support the growth in revenue. Occupancy costs are relatively fixed in
nature and were approximately $6.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.
Office expenses did not change for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 from the comparable
period in 2006, but decreased as a percentage of revenue to 8.4% from 9.2%.
The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to impacts of certain reductions in the 2007
Medicare reimbursement rates, including those that occurred as the result of the Deficit Reduction
Act. Since MMP is typically paid a portion of the revenue collected on behalf of its clients,
reductions in client revenue that resulted from the reduction in reimbursement rates had an adverse
affect on MMPs revenue and margins.

The decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to the mergers and acquisitions business
completing three transactions during the first nine months of 2006, and no transactions during the
comparable period of 2007. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in consulting revenue
at the technology businesses during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 versus the comparable
period of 2006, a portion of which was attributable to a special project with our largest customer.
The largest components of operating expenses for the National Practices group are personnel costs,
direct costs and occupancy costs, representing 92.7% and 91.8% of total operating expenses for the
nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Personnel costs increased $1.1 million
to 62.5% of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 from 58.7% of revenue for the
comparable period in 2006. The increase in personnel costs relates to annual merit increases and
additional employees primarily in relation to the special project noted above. This increase
was partially offset by lower personnel costs in our mergers and acquisitions business as a portion
these personnel costs are variable with completing transactions. Direct costs increased $0.1
million to 19.0% of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 from 18.4% for the
comparable period in 2006, and consisted of an increase in third party service fees offset by a
decrease in product costs. The increase in third party service fees was related to the special
project noted above, and the decrease in product costs was a result of an overall decline in
product sales. Occupancy costs are relatively fixed in nature and were $1.2 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.
30
The decline in gross margin was primarily the result of three transactions completed by the mergers
and acquisitions business during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 versus no transactions in
2007. Transactions completed by the mergers and acquisitions business typically result in a large
amount of revenue for CBIZ, with minimal incremental cost; thus the number and size of transactions
completed by the mergers and acquisition business may have a significant impact to gross margin.
This decline in gross margin by the mergers and acquisitions business was partially offset by an
overall improvement in gross margin by the technology businesses.
Financial Condition
Total assets were $525.0 million, total liabilities were $301.5 million and shareholders equity
was $223.5 million as of September 30, 2007. Current assets of $247.1 million exceeded current
liabilities of $156.8 million by $90.3 million.
Cash and cash equivalents increased by $8.6 million to $21.5 million at September 30, 2007 from
December 31, 2006. Restricted cash was $16.9 million at September 30, 2007, a decrease of $0.6
million from December 31, 2006. Restricted cash represents those funds held in connection with
CBIZs NASD regulated operations and funds held in connection with the pass through of insurance
premiums to various carriers. Cash and restricted cash fluctuate during the year based on the
timing of cash receipts and related payments.
Accounts receivable, net were $121.1 million at September 30, 2007, an increase of $16.8 million
from December 31, 2006. Days sales outstanding (DSO) represents accounts receivable (before the
allowance for doubtful accounts) and unbilled revenue (net of realization adjustments) at the end
of the period, divided by trailing twelve month daily revenue. CBIZ provides DSO data because such
data is commonly used as a performance measure by analysts and investors and as a measure of the
Companys ability to collect on receivables in a timely manner. DSO was 72 days, 66 days and 71
days at September 30, 2007, December 31, 2006 and September 30, 2006, respectively.
Other current assets were $8.0 million and $9.0 million at September 30, 2007 and December 31,
2006, respectively. Other current assets are primarily comprised of prepaid expenses. Balances may
fluctuate during the year based upon the timing of cash payments and amortization of prepaid
expenses.
Funds held for clients are directly offset by client fund obligations. Funds held for clients
fluctuate during the year based on the timing of cash receipts and related payments, and are
further described in Note 1 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Notes receivable (current and non-current) decreased by $1.8 million at September 30, 2007 from
December 31, 2006. The decrease in notes receivable relates primarily to a payment received in the
first quarter of 2007 for contingent proceeds earned on a business that was sold in the third
quarter of 2005.
Goodwill and other intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization, increased by $9.1 million at
September 30, 2007 from December 31, 2006. Acquisitions, including contingent consideration earned,
resulted in a $13.4 million increase in intangible assets during the nine months ended September
30, 2007. Intangible assets decreased by $0.2 million as a result of divestiture activity and $4.1
million due to amortization expense.
Assets of the deferred compensation plan represent participant deferral accounts. The assets are
held in a rabbi trust and are directly offset by obligations of the plan, representing obligations
due to the participants. Although the assets of the plan are specifically designated as available to CBIZ solely for the
purpose of paying benefits under the deferred compensation plan, in the event that CBIZ became
insolvent, the assets would be available to all unsecured general creditors. The plan is described
in further detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
The accounts payable balance of $24.1 million at September 30, 2007 reflects amounts due to
suppliers and vendors; balances fluctuate during the year based on the timing of cash payments.
Accrued personnel costs were $35.3 million at September 30, 2007 and represent amounts due for
payroll, payroll taxes,
31
employee benefits and incentive compensation; balances fluctuate during the year based on the
timing of payments and our estimate of incentive compensation costs.
Other liabilities (current and non-current) decreased by $3.2 million at September 30, 2007 from
December 31, 2006, primarily as a result of payments made on notes payable related to contingent
purchase price earned on previous acquisitions. This decrease was partially offset by an increase
in non-current income taxes payable of $3.3 million related to the adoption of FIN 48 in the first
quarter of 2007, which is further described in Note 1 of the accompanying consolidated financial
statements.
The increase in current income taxes payable to $7.0 million at September 30, 2007 from $3.7
million at December 31, 2006 was primarily due to the provision for income taxes and the timing of
tax payments. The increase was partially offset by tax benefits related to the exercise of stock
options.
Stockholders equity increased $6.9 million to $223.5 million at September 30, 2007 from $216.6
million at December 31, 2006. The increase in stockholders equity was primarily due to net income
of $28.7 million, the exercise of stock options and related tax benefits which contributed $5.9
million, the issuance of $0.6 million in common shares for business acquisitions, $1.7 million
related to the recognition of stock compensation expense and a one-time adjustment to accumulated
deficit of $0.7 million as a result of adopting FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. These increases were
offset by share repurchase activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 of
approximately 4.4 million shares at a cost of $30.7 million.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
CBIZs principal source of net operating cash is derived from the collection of commissions and
fees for professional services and products rendered to its clients. CBIZ supplements net operating
cash with an unsecured credit facility, and with $100.0 million in convertible senior subordinated
notes (Notes). The Notes mature on June 1, 2026, and may be redeemed by CBIZ in whole or in part
anytime after June 6, 2011.
The unsecured credit facility has a five year term expiring in February 2011, and carries an option
to increase the commitment to $150.0 million. At September 30, 2007, CBIZ had outstanding
borrowings of $12.0 million under its credit facility, and had letters of credit and performance
guarantees totaling $3.3 million. Available funds under the facility based on the terms of the
commitment were approximately $80.3 million at September 30, 2007. Management believes cash
generated from operations, combined with the available funds from the credit facility, provides
CBIZ the financial resources needed to meet business requirements for the foreseeable future,
including capital expenditures, working capital requirements, and strategic investments.
The facility allows for the allocation of funds for strategic initiatives, including acquisitions
and the repurchase of CBIZ common stock. Under the credit facility, CBIZ is required to meet
certain financial covenants with respect to (i) minimum net worth; (ii) maximum leverage ratio; and
(iii) a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. CBIZ was in compliance with its covenants as of
September 30, 2007 and projects that it will remain in compliance for the remainder of 2007.
CBIZ may also obtain funding by offering securities or debt, through public or private markets.
CBIZ currently has a shelf registration under which it can offer such securities. See our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 for a description of the shelf
registration statement.

Cash flows from operating activities represent net income adjusted for certain non-cash items and
changes in assets and liabilities. CBIZ typically experiences a net use of cash from operations
during the first quarter of its fiscal year, as accounts receivable balances grow in response to
the seasonal increase in first quarter revenue generated by the Financial Services practice group
(primarily for accounting and tax services). This net use of cash is followed by strong operating
cash flow during the second and third quarters, as a significant amount of revenue generated by the
Financial Services practice group during the first four months of the year are billed and collected
in subsequent quarters. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, net cash provided by
operating activities was $19.0 million, compared to $16.7 million for the comparable period in
2006. The $2.3 million increase in cash provided from operating activities was primarily due to
higher net income and was partially offset by $1.6 million related to the collective change in working capital accounts.
Cash flows from investing activities consist primarily of payments toward capital expenditures and
business acquisitions, proceeds from divested operations and the collection of notes receivable.
Investing activities provided $2.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2007,
compared to $19.0 million used during the comparable period in 2006. Cash flows provided by
investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 primarily consisted of $27.7
million in proceeds from the sale of various operations and $0.4 million in net collections on
notes receivable. These proceeds were offset by $18.9 million of net cash used towards business
acquisitions, $1.6 million for the acquisition of other intangible assets and $4.2 million for
capital expenditures (net). Investing uses of cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2006
primarily consisted of $20.6 million of net cash used towards business acquisitions, $2.4 million
for the acquisition of other intangible assets and $4.5 million for capital expenditures (net),
offset by $7.3 million in proceeds received from the sale of various operations and $1.5 million in
net collections on notes receivable. Cash used by discontinued operations was for capital
expenditures. Capital expenditures primarily consisted of investments in technology, leasehold
improvements and purchases of furniture and equipment.
Cash flows from financing activities consist primarily of net borrowing and payment activity from
the credit facility, repurchases of CBIZ common stock, net borrowing and payment activity toward
notes payable and capitalized leases, and proceeds from the exercise of stock options. Net cash
used in financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $13.3 million
compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $8.8 million for the comparable period in
2006. Financing sources of cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 included net
borrowings from the credit facility of $12.0 million and $5.9 million in proceeds from the exercise
of stock options (including tax benefits), offset by $30.8 million in cash used to repurchase
shares of CBIZ common stock and $0.4 million in net payments towards notes payable and capitalized
leases. Financing sources of cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 included $100.0
million in proceeds from convertible senior subordinated notes and $8.0 million in proceeds from
the exercise of stock options (including tax benefits), offset by $32.2 million in net payments
toward the credit facility, $62.9 million in cash used to repurchase shares of CBIZ common stock,
$0.5 million in net payments towards notes payable and capitalized leases and $3.6 million in cash
paid for debt issuance costs (primarily related to the convertible senior subordinated notes).

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
CBIZ maintains administrative service agreements with independent CPA firms (as described more
fully under Overview Financial Services), which qualify as variable interest entities under
FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, as amended. The impact
to CBIZ of this accounting pronouncement is not material to the financial condition, results of
operations, or cash flows of CBIZ, and is further discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial
statements included herewith.
CBIZ provides guarantees of performance obligations for a CPA firm with which CBIZ maintains an
administrative service agreement. Potential obligations under the guarantees totaled $1.3 million
at September 30, 2007 and $1.7 million at December 31, 2006. In accordance with FASB Interpretation
No. 45, Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect
Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, as amended, CBIZ has recognized a liability for the fair
value of the obligations undertaken in issuing these guarantees. The liability is recorded as other
current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. CBIZ does not expect it will
be required to make payments under these guarantees.
CBIZ provides letters of credit to landlords (lessors) of its leased premises in lieu of cash
security deposits, which totaled $2.0 million at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006. In
addition, CBIZ provides license bonds to various state agencies to meet certain licensing
requirements. The amount of license bonds outstanding totaled $1.4 million and $1.6 million at
September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.
CBIZ has various agreements under which we may be obligated to indemnify the other party with
respect to certain matters. Generally, these indemnification clauses are included in contracts
arising in the normal course of business under which we customarily agree to hold the other party
harmless against losses arising from a breach of representations, warranties, covenants or
agreements, related to matters such as title to assets sold and certain tax matters. Payment by
CBIZ under such indemnification clauses are generally conditioned upon the other party making a
claim. Such claims are typically subject to challenge by CBIZ and to dispute resolution procedures
specified in the particular contract. Further, CBIZs

obligations under these agreements may be limited in terms of time and/or amount and, in some
instances, CBIZ may have recourse against third parties for certain payments made by CBIZ. It is
not possible to predict the maximum potential amount of future payments under these indemnification
agreements due to the conditional nature of CBIZs obligations and the unique facts of each
particular agreement. Historically, CBIZ has not made any payments under these agreements that have
been material individually or in the aggregate. As of September 30, 2007, CBIZ was not aware of any
material obligations arising under indemnification agreements that would require payments.
Interest Rate Risk Management
CBIZ has used interest rate swaps to manage the interest rate mix of its credit facility and
related overall cost of borrowing. Interest rate swaps involve the exchange of floating for fixed
rate interest payments to effectively convert floating rate debt into fixed rate debt based on a
one, three, or nine-month U.S. dollar LIBOR. Interest rate swaps allow CBIZ to maintain a target
range of fixed to floating rate debt. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and the
twelve months ended December 31, 2006, management did not utilize interest rate swaps. Management
will continue to evaluate the potential use of interest rate swaps as it deems appropriate under
certain operating and market conditions. During 2006, CBIZ sold $100.0 million in convertible
senior subordinated notes (Notes) bearing a fixed interest rate of 3.125%. As the Notes mature on
June 1, 2026 and may not be redeemed without a premium until June 6, 2011, we believe this low cost
of borrowing mitigates our interest rate risk.
In connection with payroll services provided to clients, CBIZ collects funds from its clients
accounts in advance of paying these client obligations. These funds held for clients are segregated
and invested in short-term investments and Auction Rate Securities (ARS), which are classified as
marketable securities. ARS generally have a high credit quality, are highly liquid, and generate
higher rates of return than typical money market investments. During the nine months ended
September 30, 2007, the average balance of funds held for clients related to payroll services was
approximately $54.1 million, and the average interest yield was approximately 5.3% (on an after-tax
basis). The interest income on these short-term investments mitigates the interest rate risk for
the borrowing costs of CBIZs credit facility, as the rates on both the investments and the
outstanding borrowings against the credit facility float based on market conditions.
Critical Accounting Policies
The policies discussed below are considered by management to be critical to the understanding of
CBIZs consolidated financial statements because their application places significant demand on
managements judgment, with financial reporting results relying on estimation about the effects of
matters that are inherently uncertain. Specific risks for these critical accounting policies are
described in the following paragraphs. For all of these policies, management cautions that
estimates may require adjustment if future events develop differently than expected.
Revenue Recognition and Valuation of Unbilled Revenues
Revenue is recognized when all of the following are present: persuasive evidence of an arrangement
exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, our fee to the client is fixed or
determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. These criteria are in accordance with
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 (SAB
104). CBIZ offers a vast array of products and business services to its clients. Those services are
delivered through four practice groups. A description of revenue recognition, as it relates to
those groups, is provided below.
Financial Services Revenue consists primarily of fees for accounting services, preparation of
tax returns, consulting services, compliance projects, and valuation services including fairness
opinions, business plans, litigation support, purchase price allocations and derivative valuations.
Revenues are recorded in the period in which services are provided and meet revenue recognition
criteria in accordance with SAB 104. CBIZ bills clients based upon a predetermined agreed-upon
fixed fee or based on actual hours incurred on client projects at expected net realizable rates per
hour, plus agreed-upon out-of-pocket expenses. The cumulative impact on any subsequent revision in
the estimated realizable value of unbilled fees for a particular client project is reflected in the
period in which the change becomes known.
35
Employee Services Revenue consists primarily of brokerage and agency commissions, payroll
service fees, interest on client funds, and fee income for administering health and retirement
plans. A description of the revenue recognition, based on the service provided, insurance product
sold, and billing arrangement, is described below.
|
|
|
Commissions relating to brokerage and agency activities whereby CBIZ has primary
responsibility for the collection of premiums from insureds (agency or indirect billing)
are recognized as of the latter of the effective date of the insurance policy or the date
billed to the customer; commissions to be received directly from insurance companies
(direct billing) are recognized when the data necessary from the carriers to properly
record revenue becomes available; and life insurance commissions are recognized when
insurance coverage is afforded to the individual under the policy. Commission revenue is
reported net of sub-broker commissions, and reserves for estimated policy cancellations and
terminations. The cancellation and termination reserve is based upon estimates and
assumptions using historical cancellation and termination experience and other current
factors to project future experience. CBIZ periodically reviews the adequacy of the reserve
and makes adjustments as necessary. The use of different estimates or assumptions could
produce different results. |
|
|
|
|
Commissions which are based upon certain performance targets are recognized at the
earlier of written notification that the target has been achieved, or cash collection. |
|
|
|
|
Fee income is recognized in the period in which services are provided, and may be based
on actual hours incurred on an hourly fee basis, fixed fee arrangements, or asset-based
fees. |
|
|
|
|
Payroll Revenue is recognized when the actual payroll processing occurs. |
Medical Management Professionals Fees for services are primarily based on a percentage of net
collections on our clients patient accounts receivable. As such, revenue is determinable, earned,
and recognized, when payments are received by our clients on their patient accounts. Revenue earned
on statement mailing services is recognized when statements are processed and mailed. Revenue from
the sale of billing systems is recognized upon installation of the system, while the related system
maintenance revenue is recognized over the period covered by the maintenance agreement.
National Practices Services The business units that comprise this practice group offer a variety
of services. A description of revenue recognition associated with the primary services is provided
below.
|
|
|
Technology Consulting Revenue associated with hardware and software sales is
recognized upon delivery and acceptance of the product. Revenue associated with
installation is recognized as services are performed, and revenue associated with service
agreements is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period of the agreement.
Consulting revenue is recognized on an hourly or per diem fee basis as services are
performed. |
|
|
|
|
Health Care Consulting CBIZ bills clients based upon a predetermined agreed-upon
fixed fee or based on actual hours incurred on client projects at expected net realizable
rates per hour, plus agreed-upon out-of-pocket expenses, or as a percentage of savings
after contingencies have been resolved and verified by a third party. |
|
|
|
|
Mergers & Acquisitions and Capital Advisory Revenue associated with non-refundable
retainers is recognized on a pro rata basis over the life of the engagement. Revenue
associated with success fee transactions is recognized when the transaction is completed. |
Certain of our client arrangements encompass multiple deliverables. CBIZ accounts for these
arrangements in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force No. 00-21, Accounting for Revenue
Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables (EITF 00-21). If the deliverables meet the criteria in
EITF 00-21, the deliverables are divided into separate units of accounting and revenue is allocated
to the deliverables based on their relative fair values. Revenue for each unit is recognized
separately in accordance with CBIZs revenue recognition policy for each unit. For those
arrangements where the deliverables do not
36
qualify as a separate unit of accounting, revenue from all deliverables are treated as one
accounting unit and evaluated for appropriate accounting treatment based upon the underlying facts
and circumstances.
Valuation of Accounts Receivable and Notes Receivable
The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Specifically, management must make estimates of
the collectibility of accounts receivable, including unbilled accounts receivable, related to
current period service revenue. Management analyzes historical bad debts, client credit-worthiness,
the age of accounts receivable and current economic trends and conditions when evaluating the
adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts and the collectibility of notes receivable.
Significant management judgments and estimates must be made and used in connection with
establishing the allowance for doubtful accounts in any accounting period. Material differences may
result if management made different judgments or utilized different estimates.
Valuation of Goodwill
CBIZ utilizes the purchase method of accounting for all business combinations in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 141, Business Combinations. Intangible
assets, which include client lists and non-compete agreements, are amortized principally by the
straight-line method over their expected period of benefit, not to exceed ten years.
In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,
goodwill is not amortized. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually during the fourth quarter of
each year, and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more
likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. There was no
goodwill impairment during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2007 or 2006.
Loss Contingencies
Loss contingencies, including litigation claims, are recorded as liabilities when it is probable
that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable. Contingent
liabilities are often resolved over long time periods. Estimating probable losses requires analysis
that often depends on judgment about potential actions by third parties.
Incentive Compensation
Determining the amount of expense to recognize for incentive compensation at interim and annual
reporting dates involves management judgment. Expenses accrued for incentive compensation are based
upon expected financial results for the year, and the ultimate determination of incentive
compensation can not be made until after year-end results are finalized. Thus, amounts accrued are
subject to change in future interim periods if actual future financial results are higher or lower
than expected. In arriving at the amount of expense to recognize, management believes it makes
reasonable judgments using all significant information available.
Income Taxes
Determining the consolidated provision for income tax expense, income tax liabilities and deferred
tax assets and liabilities involves management judgment. Management estimates an annual effective
tax rate (which takes into consideration expected full-year results), which is applied to our
quarterly operating results to determine the provision for income tax expense. In the event there
is a significant, unusual or infrequent item recognized in our quarterly operating results, the tax
attributable to that item is recorded in the interim period in which it occurs. Circumstances that
could cause our estimates of effective income tax rates to change include the impact of information
that subsequently becomes available as we prepare our corporate income tax returns; the level of
actual pre-tax income; revisions to tax positions taken as a result of further analysis and
consultation; the receipt and expected utilization of federal and state income tax
37
credits; and changes mandated as a result of audits by taxing authorities. Management believes it
makes reasonable judgments using all significant information available when estimating income
taxes.
CBIZ adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. See Note 1 to the accompanying
consolidated financial statements for further discussion.
Other Significant Policies
Other significant accounting policies not involving the same level of measurement uncertainties as
those discussed above are nevertheless important to understanding the consolidated financial
statements. Those policies are described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements
contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157). SFAS No.
157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted
accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Provisions of SFAS No. 157 must be
applied prospectively as of the beginning of the first fiscal year in which the accounting standard
is applied. CBIZ is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of SFAS No. 157 on the consolidated
financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS No. 159). SFAS No.
159 permits entities to choose to measure certain financial instruments and other eligible items at
fair value when the items are not otherwise currently required to be measured at fair value.
Entities that elect the fair value option will report unrealized gains and losses in earnings at
each subsequent reporting date. The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument
basis, with few exceptions. SFAS No. 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements
to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for
similar assets and liabilities. The provisions of SFAS No. 159 are effective for fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2007. CBIZ is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of SFAS No.
159 on the consolidated financial statements.
Uncertainty of Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Quarterly Report,
including without limitation, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations regarding CBIZs financial position, business strategy and plans and
objectives for future performance are forward-looking statements. You can identify these statements
by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Forward-looking
statements are commonly identified by the use of such terms and phrases as intends, believes,
estimates, expects, projects, anticipates, foreseeable future, seeks, and words or
phrases of similar import in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial
performance. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions, future performance
or results of current and anticipated services, sales efforts, expenses, and financial results.
From time to time, we also may provide oral or written forward-looking statements in other
materials we release to the public. Any or all of our forward-looking statements in this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q and in any other public statements that we make, are subject to certain risks
and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Such
forward-looking statements can be affected by inaccurate assumptions we might make or by known or
unknown risks and uncertainties. Should one or more of these risks or assumptions materialize, or
should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those
anticipated, estimated or projected. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to:
CBIZs ability to adequately manage its growth; CBIZs dependence on the services of its CEO and
other key employees; competitive pricing pressures; general business and economic conditions;
changes in governmental regulation and tax laws affecting its operations; reversal or decline in
the current trend of outsourcing business services; revenue seasonality or fluctuations in and
collectibility of
38
receivables; liability for errors and omissions of our businesses; regulatory investigations and
future regulatory activity (including without limitation inquiries into compensation arrangements
within the insurance brokerage industry); and reliance on information processing systems and
availability of software licenses. Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed.
A more detailed description of risk factors may be found in CBIZs Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2006. CBIZ undertakes no obligation to publicly update forward-looking
statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You are advised,
however, to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in the quarterly, periodic
and annual reports we file with the SEC. This discussion is provided as permitted by the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
CBIZs floating rate debt under its credit facility exposes the Company to interest rate risk.
Interest rate risk results when the maturity or repricing intervals of interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities are different. A change in the Federal Funds Rate, or the Reference
Rate set by the Bank of America, would affect the rate at which CBIZ could borrow funds under its
credit facility. CBIZs balance outstanding under its credit facility at September 30, 2007 was
$12.0 million. If market rates were to increase or decrease 100 basis points from the levels at
September 30, 2007, interest expense would increase or decrease approximately $0.1 million
annually.
CBIZ does not engage in trading market risk sensitive instruments. In the past, CBIZ has used
interest rate swaps to manage the interest rate mix of its credit facility and related overall cost
of borrowing. Interest rate swaps involve the exchange of floating for fixed rate interest payments
to effectively convert floating rate debt into fixed rate debt based on a one, three, or six-month
U.S. dollar LIBOR. Interest rate swaps allow CBIZ to maintain a target range of fixed to floating
rate debt. Management will continue to evaluate the potential use of interest rate swaps as it
deems appropriate under certain operating and market conditions.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (Disclosure Controls) as
of the end of the period covered by this report. This evaluation (Controls Evaluation) was done
with the participation of our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial
Officer (CFO).
Disclosure Controls are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods
specified in the SECs rules and forms. Disclosure Controls and procedures include, without
limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by
us in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our
management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our CEO and CFO, does not expect that our Disclosure Controls or our
internal controls over financial reporting (Internal Controls) will prevent all error and all
fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable,
but not absolute, assurance that the objectives of a control system are met. Further, any control
system reflects limitations on resources, and the benefits of a control system must be considered
relative to its costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of
controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any,
within CBIZ have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in
decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.
Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of
two or more people, or by management override of a control. A design of a control system is also
based
39
upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that
any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over
time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a
cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be
detected.
Conclusions
Based upon the Controls Evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that, subject to the limitations
noted above, the Disclosure Controls are effective in providing reasonable assurance that material
information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange
Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs
rules and forms.
There were no changes in our Internal Controls that occurred during the quarter ended September 30,
2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our Internal
Controls.
PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
CBIZ is from time to time subject to claims and suits arising in the ordinary course of business.
