"WageWorks experienced strong results in the first quarter of 2013, as we continue to execute on our growth strategy," said Joe Jackson, Chief Executive Officer of WageWorks. "Our unique dedication to pretax health and commuter benefits positions WageWorks well for continued growth, as these cost savings strategies are top of mind for employers, employees and their families."


For the first quarter, WageWorks reported total revenue of $56.1 million, compared to $44.3 million for the first quarter of 2012, an increase of 27 percent. Healthcare revenue was $35.7 million, compared to $29.2 million for the first quarter of 2012, an increase of 22 percent.

Other revenue was $5.7 million, compared to $3.1 million for the first quarter of 2012, an increase of 84 percent.

GAAP operating income was $7.5 million for the first quarter of 2013, compared to GAAP operating income of $3.8 million for the first quarter of 2012. On a non-GAAP basis, first quarter of 2013 operating income was $11.2 million, compared to non-GAAP operating income of $7.4 million for the first quarter of 2012.

GAAP net income was $4.6 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2013, compared to GAAP net income of $0.3 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2012.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

To supplement the Company's financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, the Company provides non-GAAP financial measure of net income, operating income, adjusted EBITDA and diluted earnings per share. By providing information about both the overall GAAP financial performance and the non-GAAP measures, that focus on what management believes to be its ongoing business operations, the Company believes that the additional information enhances investors' overall understanding of the Company's business. The Company's management believes it is useful for itself and investors to review, as applicable, both GAAP information that includes the impact of accretion of redemption premium expense, stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangibles, gains or losses from revaluation of warrants, contingent consideration expense and the related tax impact of all of these items on the provision for income taxes, and the non-GAAP measures that exclude such information in order to assess the performance of the Company's business for planning and forecasting in subsequent periods. The Company's management does not itself, nor does it suggest that investors should consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Whenever the Company uses such a non-GAAP financial measure, it provides a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the most closely applicable GAAP financial measure. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure as detailed above. Investors are also encouraged to review the Company's GAAP financial statements as reported in its SEC filings.
