Jerry Grisko, CBIZ President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "Our continued strong performance in 2023 demonstrates the strength and resilience of our business model. Despite economic uncertainty throughout much of the year brought on by rising interest rates, threats of a recession and global unrest, demand remained strong for both our essential, recurring services and our more project-based advisory services. We also benefited from the three acquisitions and two 'tuck in' transactions we completed during the year which added approximately $67.3 million of annualized revenue. We are pleased to have recently announced the acquisition of Erickson, Brown & Kloster, LLC, (EBK), a CPA firm providing a broad range of accounting and tax services located in Colorado Springs, Colorado. This acquisition, effective February 1, 2024, will complement our growing Denver Financial Services practice."
Grisko continued, "As we head into 2024, we expect the economic climate to remain generally favorable for the types of services that we provide to our clients. Our full-year outlook for revenue, GAAP EPS and adjusted EPS reflect our confidence in our ability to continue to post strong results in business climates that may present some level of uncertainty, including the inherent uncertainty that often exists during an election year."
2024 Outlook
The Company expects total revenue to grow within a range of 7% to 9% over the prior year.
The Company expects an effective tax rate of approximately 28%.
The Company expects a weighted average fully diluted share count of approximately 50.0 to 50.5 million shares.
The Company expects GAAP fully diluted earnings per share to grow within a range of 13% to 15%, to $2.70 to $2.75 per share over the $2.39 per share reported for 2023.
The Company expects Adjusted fully diluted earnings per share to grow within a range of 12% to 14%, to $2.70 to $2.75 per share over the Adjusted earnings per share of $2.41 per share reported for 2023.

(1) | CBIZ reports its financial results in accordance with GAAP. This table reconciles Adjusted net (loss) income, Adjusted EPS, and Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, "Net (loss) income" and "Diluted earnings per share." Adjusted net (loss) income, Adjusted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA are not defined by GAAP and should not be regarded as an alternative or replacement to any financial information determined under GAAP. Adjusted net (loss) income, Adjusted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA exclude significant non-operating related gains and losses that management does not consider on-going in nature. These Non-GAAP financial measures are used by the Company as a performance measure to evaluate, assess and benchmark the Company's operational results and to evaluate results relative to employee compensation targets. Accordingly, the Company believes the presentation of these Non-GAAP financial measures allows its stockholders, debt holders, and other interested parties to meaningfully compare the Company's period-to-period operating results. |
(2) | These costs include, but are not limited to, certain consulting, technology, personnel, as well as other first year operating and general administrative costs that are non-recurring in nature. Amounts reported in 2023 related to the costs incurred related to the Somerset acquisition and those reported in 2022 related to the Marks Paneth acquisition. |
(3) | These costs related to incremental non-recurring lease expense incurred as a result of CBIZ's real estate optimization efforts. |
