VANCOUVER, Wash., July 26, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Barrett Business Services, Inc. (BBSI) (Nasdaq:BBSI), a leading provider of business management solutions, reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011.
Second Quarter 2011 Financial Results
Net revenues for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011 totaled $76.0 million, an increase of approximately $8.6 million or 12.8% over the $67.4 million for the same quarter in 2010.
Total non-GAAP gross revenues in the second quarter of 2011 increased 23.5% to $366.9 million over the $297.1 million in the same quarter of 2010 (see "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below).
Net income totaled $3.4 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared to net income of $2.3 million for the second quarter of 2010. Diluted earnings per share for the 2011 second quarter were $.34, as compared to $.22 for the same quarter a year ago.
Net income without the benefit of a favorable tax rate for the second quarter of 2011 was $2.9 million or $.28 per diluted share.
Management Commentary
"The second quarter's results from operations were driven by a continued build in our net client count. Although we did not see a significant increase in hours worked or hiring from existing clients, we do continue to see a strong build of new clients as well as stability within our existing clients," said Michael L. Elich, President and CEO of BBSI. "We continue to make investments in infrastructure to support growth while looking to existing systems for improvement in efficiencies within operations and to support existing pipelines of new business opportunities," Elich continued.
Third Quarter 2011 Outlook
The Company disclosed today limited financial guidance with respect to its operating results for the third quarter ending September 30, 2011. The Company expects gross revenues for the third quarter of 2011 to range from $392 million to $397 million, as compared to $332.9 million for the third quarter of 2010, and anticipates diluted earnings for the third quarter of 2011 to range from $.46 to $.50 per share, as compared to diluted earnings per share of $.36 for the same period a year ago. The range of anticipated diluted earnings per share for the 2011 third quarter includes a favorable income tax rate benefit related to the effect of a much lower annual effective income tax rate attributable to the $10.0 million life insurance proceeds. Without the effect of the favorable tax rate benefit, the range of diluted earnings per share for the 2011 third quarter is estimated to be $.38 to $.42. A reconciliation of estimated gross revenues to estimated GAAP net revenues for the third quarter of 2011 is not included because PEO revenues and cost of PEO revenues for the period are not reasonably estimable.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the results prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), the Company is disclosing non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP gross revenues.
Without the effect of a favorable income tax rate benefit related to a much lower annual effective income tax rate resulting from $10.0 million of key man life insurance proceeds realized with respect to William W. Sherertz, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, who passed away January 20, 2011, the Company's net income for the 2011 second quarter was approximately $2.9 million or $.28 cents per share. A reconciliation of net income on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") to the non-GAAP operating performance is as follows:
| (in thousands, except per share amounts) |
(Unaudited) Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2011 |
||
| GAAP | Adjustments | non-GAAP | |
| Income before taxes | $ 4,345 | $ | $ 4,345 |
| Provision for income taxes | 896 | 565 | 1,461 |
| Net income | $ 3,449 | $ 2,884 | |

| Diluted income per share | $ .34 | $ .28 | |
| Weighted average diluted shares outstanding | 10,245 | 10,245 | |
The Company is presenting the non-GAAP net income because it believes it is more reflective of the Company's actual operating results.
The Company reports its Professional Employer Organization services ("PEO") revenues on a net basis because it is not the primary obligor for the services provided by the Company's PEO clients to their customers. The gross revenues and cost of revenues information below, although not in accordance with GAAP, is presented for comparison purposes and because management believes such information is more informative as to the level of the Company's business activity and more useful in managing its operations.

As described in Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 15 in the Company's 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company restated its financial statements as a result of an error related to legal expenses incurred for the administration of workers' compensation claims by Associated Insurance Company for Excess ("AICE"), the Company's captive insurance subsidiary formed January 1, 2007. The Company also determined to make a conforming change to its accounting method for legal expenses incurred for the administration of workers' compensation claims that arose prior to the formation of AICE. The Company's results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 have been restated to reflect these changes.
