InnerWorkings Postpones Release of Q1 2018 Financial Results

InnerWorkings, Chicago, is postponing the release of its first quarter 2018 financial results and conference call due to errors in its historical financial statements identified during the course of its first quarter financial reporting close process. The company will be restating its financial statements for the years ended Dec. 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, and all interim periods within those years.

The accounting errors relate primarily to recording a portion of costs of goods sold in the wrong period, and have no material impact on InnerWorkings’ cash flow, revenue or liquidity. The restated financial statements will also correct other errors identified during prior periods, which were immaterial individually and in the aggregate. Based on its preliminary assessment, InnerWorkings estimates the aggregate impact of these corrections on income before income taxes as follows:

• For the year ended Dec. 31, 2017, a decrease in income before income taxes of $2.5 - $4.5 million.
• For the year ended Dec. 31, 2016, a decrease in income before income taxes of $1.5 - $2.5 million.
• For the year ended Dec. 31, 2015, an increase in income before income taxes of $0.5 - $1.5 million.

In order to allow sufficient time to complete its review and corrections to the historical financial statements, InnerWorkings is delaying reporting first quarter 2018 financial results and hosting its conference call, which was originally scheduled for May 8, 2018. The company expects to file an amendment to its 2017 Form 10-K reflecting the corrected financial statements and reschedule its first quarter 2018 earnings release and conference call to no later than May 31, 2018. For more information about the restatement, please see the company’s current report on Form 8-K (Item 4.02), filed on May 7, 2018.
