Good morning and welcome to the CBIZ third quarter and nine-months 2014 results conference call. All participants will be in listen-only mode. (Operator Instructions). After today's presentation, there will be an opportunity to ask questions. (Operator Instructions). Please note this event is being recorded. I would now like to turn the conference over to Steven Gerard, Chairman and CEO. Please go ahead, sir.

Thank you, Laura. Good morning everyone and thank you for calling into CBIZ's third quarter and nine-months results conference call. Before I begin my comments, I would like to remind you of a few things. As with all our conference calls, this call is intended to answer the questions of our shareholders and analysts. If there are media representatives on the call, you are welcome to listen in. However I ask that if you have questions you hold them until after the call and we will be happy to address them at that time. The call is also being webcast and you can access the call over our website. You should have all received a copy of the press release we issued this morning and if you did not, you can also access that on the website as well. Finally please remember that during the course of our call, we may make forward-looking statements. These statements represent our intentions, hopes, beliefs, expectations and predictions of the future. Actual results can and sometimes do differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Additional information concerning the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements is contained in our SEC filings, Form 10-K and prior press releases. Joining me on the call this morning is Jerry Grisko, our President and Chief Operating Officer and Ware Grove, our Chief Financial Officer. Prior to the opening this morning, we were pleased to announce our third quarter and nine month results which, as we had expected, have coming very strong with growth in revenue, growth in margin and growth in earnings per share. The third quarter has been one of the stronger quarters and our nine months results are as strong, if not stronger than anything we have been able to produce since 2008. I will have some comments at the end as to how we see the market and the impact of our various activities but I would like to turn the call over to Ware who will give you the details.

Thank you, Steve and good morning everyone. As is our normal practice, I want to take a few minutes to run through the highlights of the third quarter and nine months results that we released earlier today for the period ended September 30, 2014. Now as a quick reminder, please remember that results for 2013 are restated to reflect the impact of the sale of Medical Management Professionals which occurred in August of last year. Now, thanks to the efforts of our CBIZ Associates who are working hard to serve clients in our market throughout the U.S., we are very pleased report that total revenue for the third quarter increased $183.8 million, an increase of 8.9% over the $168.8 million in the third quarter a year ago. Same unit revenue increased by $8.4 million or 5.0% compared with the third quarter a year ago and acquisitions contributed $6.6 million or 3.9% to revenue growth in the third quarter compared with a year ago. We are pleased that pretax income margin improved by 140 basis points in the third quarter and as a result, we have reported fully diluted earnings per share of $0.14 in the third quarter this year compared with $0.11 per share a year ago. Turning to the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Total revenue increased by $31.4 million or 5.8% compared with a year ago. Same unit revenue grew by $15 million or 2.8% compared with the same period a year ago. Acquisition related revenue contributed $16.4 million or 3.0% to revenue growth compared with a year ago. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 pretax income margin improved by 50 basis points and fully diluted earnings per share was $0.61 compared with $0.57 for the nine months a year ago. Within the financial services…

Thank you, Ware. Let me make a couple other comments. First as Ware points out, our acquisition pipeline continues to be strong in both our financial services and our employee services groups. So we are opportunistically looking at acquisitions over the next year and we will probably be able to do our typical three to six transactions per year as we have done in the past. Our sense of the market today is that our clients remain cautious. As we had indicated years ago that the climb out from the recession was going to be slow but very long. We are still seeing that. And the advice we want to give is that while our clients are feeling somewhat better, starting to invest, starting to hire, it will not be robust for the next year or two. We are not expecting that it will be, but our clients are in fact feeling better about themselves and about the services that we are able to provide. Notwithstanding the fact that we had a very strong quarter and notwithstanding the fact that we are doing very, very well this year, it still remains our position that no one quarter in either up or down in the year should be taken as a significant indicator of the economy. We are comfortable with our guidance for the rest of this year. We think this will be a very strong year for us. So we are pleased to both reiterate the guidance that we gave in January and be actually able to come through in the third quarter on that slope. With that, I would like to stop and open the call up to questions from our analysts and shareholders.

(Operator Instructions). And the first question will come from Jim Macdonald of First Analysis.

Hi. Good morning, guys. Great quarter.

Thanks, Jim.

Hi, Jim.

Hi. Could you talk a little more about the strength in financial services? I think we had expected some are rebound in the government services area, but was there also a rebound from some of the weather losses earlier in the year on the accounting side? Or is it the economy? Or how would you divvy it all up?

I think certainly the expected recovery in our government service business is happening and that's continuing to be a good strong contributor. We are starting to see some additional business coming out on more traditional accounting group. A number of large transactions started in the end of the second and third quarter. And our overall sense is, there is a little bit of momentum there as well. So it's really a combination of both the traditional accounting business as well as our government services business.

Okay and moving over to the employee services side. That was also up nicely. Where are you seeing the positioning of that business and any impact from the Affordable Care Act at this point?

We are seeing a pickup, quite frankly, in each of our areas. Our benefits group, our retirement group, our P&C group, our payroll business are all doing better. I can't say that we are seeing anything dramatically being driven by the Affordable Care Act. If anything, the Affordable Care Act is probably helping the financial services group as they do their work for the state Medicaid services. Other than that, we have picked up some business as we reported previously as a result of the Affordable Care Act. Our clients remain not only somewhat confused, but as I am sure you know, there are incremental reporting requirements now that are required that we are helping our clients with. There are now other plans being developed in terms of how to use the exchanges, whether or not you try and put your workforce on Medicaid. So there is really a lot going on in that sector. In any time, those kinds of questions exist. They play right into our consultive practice on the benefit business. But it's very hard to quantify whether there is any specific uptick just because of Affordable Care of the ER side.

Great. I had number of little technical question, if you don't mind. Why was the tax impact on the $1.5 million repurchase expense?

Yes, Jim. I think it's fair to assume that the tax impact would be at roughly our 40% incremental rate. No special treatment on that.

Okay and G&A was a bit high this quarter. Anything happening there?

Nothing on G&A, Jim. There might have been a slight impact on the deferred comp accruals for the gains but I think we are continuing to leverage G&A. It rose a little bit but not as fast as revenue. So we are leveraging G&A as a percent of revenue.

Okay and could you tell me what your bank availability is, of the 400 million?

It's about 3.5 to 3.75 times our underlying EBITDA. So it would be, if I stopped to calculate it, in the high $200 million, low $300 million range.

And one final one and maybe I will get back in. The gross margins were strong this quarter. Any comments there?

I think, Jim, it's just a result of, you may recall earlier in the year, we talked about the slow start and we talked about sequestration related per minutes reductions in some of the engagements and therefore some rightsizing needed to occur which has and now that we are through busy seasons, typically those things happen in the second half of year. So those things have an impact, along with just the stronger revenue growth and leveraging the newly acquired businesses is helpful to gross margins.

Yes. I think, Jim, that's the real key. There is more revenue coming through with the same expense base because we didn't need to ramp up expenses in the third-quarter. So that's what really contributed to the margin.

Great. Thanks a lot. I will let someone else ask.

(Operator Instructions). And showing no further questions, I would like to turn the conference back over to Steven Gerard for closing remarks.

Okay. Jim, if you have any other questions, give us a call. With that, I thank everyone who called in and most important, our 4,000 associates who worked very, very hard this quarter to produce what was really truly outstanding results and I have every confidence that we are going to finish the year in a stronger position, if not stronger. So I thank you all in advance for your hard work in the fourth quarter and we look forward to releasing our numbers come first of the year. Thank you and good bye.

The conference is now concluded. Thank you for attending today's presentation. You may now disconnect.
