"CBIZ delivered positive first-quarter results. As we have demonstrated throughout our history, our operating model enables us to deliver strong earnings and cash flow in varying business climates and our first-quarter financial results are consistent with that history. We are also pleased to report that the Marcum-related integration work is proceeding on schedule, and we continue to experience strong employee and client retention rates and outstanding collaboration within our combined team," said Jerry Grisko, CBIZ President and Chief Executive Officer.

For the first quarter of 2025, CBIZ recorded revenue of $838.0 million, an increase of $343.7 million, or 69.5%, compared with $494.3 million reported for the same period in 2024. Net income was $122.8 million, or $1.91 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2025, compared with $76.9 million, or $1.53 per diluted share, for the same period a year ago.

Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2025 was $237.6 million, up 100.0%, compared with $118.8 million for the same period a year ago. Adjusted net income was $147.2 million, or $2.29 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2025, compared with Adjusted net income of $81.9 million, or $1.63 per diluted share, for the same period a year ago. Adjusted net income increased by 79.7%, and Adjusted earnings per diluted share increased by 40.5%, for the first quarter of 2025, compared to the same period a year ago.

The uncertainty in the current economic and geopolitical environment has already begun to impact non-recurring service lines, a trend that is expected to continue. Since these services represent a higher proportion of revenue for the remainder of the year and given the Company's limited visibility into forecasting client demand, the Company now expects full-year 2025 revenue to be within a range of $2.8 billion to $2.95 billion.

2025 Outlook

The Company expects:

  • Total revenue within a range of $2.8 billion to $2.95 billion

  • Effective tax rate of approximately 29%

  • Weighted average fully diluted share count within a range of 64.5 to 65.0 million shares

  • GAAP fully diluted earnings per share to be within a range of $1.97 to $2.02

  • Adjusted fully diluted earnings per share within a range of $3.60 to $3.65

  • Adjusted EBITDA within a range of $450 million to $456 million
