NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

Note 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of Business: CBIZ, Inc. is a diversified services company which, acting through its subsidiaries, has been providing professional business services since 1996, primarily to small and medium-sized businesses, as well as individuals, governmental entities, and not-for-profit enterprises throughout the United States and parts of Canada. CBIZ, Inc. manages and reports its operations along three practice groups; Financial Services, Benefits and Insurance Services and National Practices. A further description of products and services offered by each of the practice groups is provided in Note 16, Segment Disclosures, to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Basis of Consolidation: The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the operations of CBIZ, Inc. and all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“CBIZ”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), after elimination of all intercompany balances and transactions. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect the operations or accounts of variable interest entities as the impact is not material to the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of CBIZ.

Unaudited Interim Financial Statements: The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. As such, the information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017.

In the opinion of CBIZ management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods presented, but are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be anticipated for the full year ending December 31, 2018.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Changes in circumstances could cause actual results to differ materially from these estimates.

Changes in Accounting Policies: We have consistently applied the accounting policies for the periods presented as described in Note 1, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“Topic 606”). As a result, we have changed our accounting policy for r evenue recognition as described below in Note 2, New Accounting Pronouncements.

NOTE 2. New Accounting Pronouncements

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) is the sole source of authoritative GAAP other than the SEC issued rules and regulations that apply only to SEC registrants. The FASB issues an accounting standard to communicate changes to the FASB codification. We assess and review the impact of all accounting standards. Any accounting standards not listed below were reviewed and determined to be either not applicable or are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

Accounting Standards Adopted in 2018

Modification Accounting for Share-Based Payment Awards: Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU No. 2017-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) – Scope of Modification Accounting.” The new standard clarifies when a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as a modification. Modification accounting is required if the fair value, vesting condition or the classification of the award is not the same immediately before and after a change to the terms and conditions of the award. We typically do not change either the terms or conditions of share-based payment awards once they are granted; therefore, the adoption of this new guidance had no impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Restricted Cash - Statement of Cash Flows: Ef fective January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU No. 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230).” The new standard requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally describe d as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, restricted cash should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. When restricted cash is presented separately from cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheet, a reconciliation is required between the amounts presented on the statement of cash flows and the balance sheet, as well as a disclosure of information about the nature of t he restrictions. The adoption of this new standard resulted in a decrease of $6.6 million and $7.0 million in cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Restricted cash consists of funds held by us in relation to our capital and investment advisory services as those funds are restricted in accordance with applicable Financial Industry Regulatory Authority regulations. Restricted cash also consists of funds on deposit from clients in connection with the pass-through of insurance premiums to the carrier with the related liability for these funds recorded in “Accounts payable” in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as reported in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets that sum to the total of the same such amount shown in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (in thousands):

|  | June 30 |  |  | June 30 |
|  | 2018 |  |  | 2017 |
Cash and cash equivalents |  | $ | 1,921 |  |  | $ | 1,161 |
Restricted cash |  |  | 39,535 |  |  |  | 34,924 |
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash |  | $ | 41,456 |  |  | $ | 36,085 |

Statement of Cash Flows: Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) – Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.” The new standard provides guidance on eight specific cash flow issues. The application of this guidance did not have a material effect on the presentation of our Statement of Cash Flows.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted Topic 606 using the modified retrospective transition method. We recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying the new standard as an adjustment directly to the opening balance of “Retained earnings” at January 1, 2018. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the legacy standard.

We evaluate our revenue contracts with customers based on the five-step model under Topic 606, pursuant to which we: (i) identify the contract with the customer; (ii) identify the performance obligation in the contract; (iii) determine the contract price; (iv) allocate the transaction price; and (v) recognize revenue when as each performance obligation is satisfied. If we determine that a contract with enforceable rights and obligations does not exist, revenues are deferred until all criteria for an enforceable contract are met.

Revenue recognition is consistent under both the legacy standard and Topic 606 for the majority of our revenue streams, with the exception of two business units within our Benefits and Insurance Services practice group. The revenue recognition policies in our Benefits and Insurance Services practice group have been modified under the new standard as follows.

| • | In our Property and Casualty business unit, commission revenue under agency billing arrangements (pursuant to which we bill the insured, collect the funds and remit the premium to the insurance carrier less our commissions) was previously recognized as of the later of the effective date of the insurance policy or the date billed to the customer. We now recognize the commission revenue on the effective date of the insurance policy.

Also in our Property and Casualty business unit, commission revenue under direct billing arrangements (pursuant to which the insurance carrier bills the insured directly and remits the commissions to us) was previously recognized when the data necessary from the carriers was available, whereas now we recognize the commission revenue on the effective date of the insurance policy.

| • | In our Retirement Plan Services business unit, certain defined benefit administration arrangements charge new clients an initial, non-refundable, set-up fee as part of a multi-year service agreement. Previously, these fees were recognized over the initial set up period, whereas now we defer the set-up fees and associated

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income: In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, “Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)” which allows the reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Derivatives and Hedging: In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) - Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities.” The new standard improves and simplifies accounting rules for hedge accounting to better present the economic results of an entity’s risk management activities in its financial statements and improves the disclosures of hedging arrangements. Additionally, it simplifies the hedge documentation and effectiveness assessment requirements. The updated guidance is effective for us beginning January 1, 2019. We do not expect this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Leases: In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” which supersedes ASC Topic 840, “Leases.” The new standard requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease on the balance sheet for all leases except for leases with a term of 12 months or less. For lessees, leases will continue to be classified as either operating or finance leases. Operating leases will result in straight-line expense while finance leases will result in a front-loaded expense pattern. We plan to adopt the standard on its effective date of January 1, 2019 and apply the package of practical expedients available to us upon adoption. The new standard requires a “modified retrospective” adoption, meaning the standard is applied to leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements.

We are currently evaluating and compiling a list of our real estate leases and other leases and analyzing the key lease agreement terms. Based on our analysis to date, we expect the new standard to have a material effect on our consolidated balance sheet. Based on the future minimum payments under non-cancellable operating leases as of June 30, 2018, we would expect to record approximately $200 million of lease related assets, discounted to fair value, on our consolidated balance sheet to both our assets and liabilities, with no impact on our equity. The new standard is not expected to have a material impact on our results of operations, our liquidity or our debt covenant compliance under our current credit agreements.

Financial Services

Revenue primarily consists of professional service fees derived from traditional accounting services, tax return preparation, administrative services, financial and risk advisory, consulting and valuation services. Clients are billed for these services based upon a fixed-fee, an hourly rate, or an outcome-based fee. Time related to the performance of all services is maintained in a time and billing system.

Revenue for fixed-fee arrangements is recognized over time with the performance obligation measured in hours worked and anticipated realization. Time and expense arrangement revenue is recognized over time with progress measured towards completion with value being transferred through our hourly fee arrangement at expected net realizable rates per hour, plus agreed-upon out-of-pocket expenses (in accordance with practical expedient ASC 606-10-55-18). The cumulative impact on any subsequent revision in the estimated realizable value of unbilled fees for a particular client project is reflected in the period in which the change becomes known. Outcome-based arrangement revenue is fully constrained and recognized when the constraint is lifted at a point in time when the value is determined and verified by a third party.

Benefits and Insurance Services

Core Benefits and Insurance Services consists of group health benefits consulting, property and casualty, retirement plan services and payroll processing services. Revenue consists primarily of fee income for administering health and retirement plans and brokerage and agency commissions. Revenue also includes investment income related to client payroll funds that are held in CBIZ accounts, as is industry practice. Under the new revenue recognition standard, the cost to obtain a contract must be capitalized unless the contract period is one year or less. We have applied a practical expedient related to commissions paid internally and continue to expense the commissions as incurred since the majority of our contract periods are one year or less.

Revenue related to group health benefits consulting consists of (i) commissions, (ii) fee income which can be fixed or variable based on a price per participant and (iii) contingent revenue.

| • | Commission revenue and fee income are recognized over the contract period as these services are provided to clients continuously throughout the term of the arrangement. Our customers benefit from each month of service on its own and although volume and the number of participants may differ month to month, the obligation to perform substantially remains the same.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

| • | Contingent revenue arrangements are related to carrier-based performance targets. Due to the uncertainty of the outc ome and the probability that a change in estimate would result in a significant reversal of revenue, we have applied a constraint on recording contingent revenue. Revenue will be recognized when the constraint has been lifted which is the earlier of writte n notification that the target has been achieved or cash collection. Contingent revenue is not a significant revenue stream to our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Revenue related to property and casualty consists of (i) commissions and (ii) contingent revenue.

| • | Commissions relating to agency billing arrangements (pursuant to which we bill the insured, collect the funds and forward the premium to the insurance carrier less our commission) and direct billing arrangements (pursuant to which the insurance carrier bills the insured directly and forwards the commission to us) are both recognized on the effective date of the policy. Commission revenue is reported net of reserves for estimated policy cancellations and terminations. The cancellation and termination reserve is based upon estimates and assumptions using historical cancellation and termination experience and other current factors to project future experience.

| • | Contingent revenue arrangements related to carrier-based performance targets include claim loss experience and other factors. Due to the uncertainty of the outcome and the probability that a change in estimate would result in a significant reversal of revenue, we have applied a constraint on recording contingent revenue. Revenue will be recognized when the constraint has been lifted which is the earlier of written notification that the target has been achieved or cash collection. Contingent revenue is not a significant revenue stream to our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Revenue related to retirement plan services consist of advisory, third party administration, and actuarial services.

| • | Advisory revenue is based on the value of assets under management with fees recognized when the quarterly data becomes available.

| • | Third party administration revenue is recognized over the contract period as these services are provided to clients continuously throughout the term of the arrangement. Our clients benefit from each month of service on its own and although volume may differ month to month, the obligation to perform substantially remains the same.

| • | Actuarial revenue is recognized over the contract period with performance measured in hours in relation to the expected total hours. Under certain defined benefit plan administration arrangements, we charge new clients an initial, non-refundable, set-up fee as part of a multi-year service agreement. Revenue and costs related to the set-up fees are deferred and recognized over the life of the contract or the expected customer relationship, whichever is longer.

Revenue related to payroll processing consists of a (i) fixed fee or (ii) variable fee based on a price per employee or check processed. Revenue is recognized when the actual payroll processing occurs. Our customers benefit from each month of service on its own and although volume and the variability may differ month to month, the obligation to perform substantially remains the same.

Non-core Benefits and Insurance Services consists of transactional businesses that tend to fluctuate. These include life insurance, wholesale agency benefits and talent and compensation services.

National Practices

Managed networking, hardware services revenue consists of installation, maintenance and repair of computer hardware. These services are charged to a single customer based on cost plus an agreed-upon markup percentage, which has existed since 1999.

National Practices consulting revenue is based upon a fixed fee, an hourly rate, or a percentage of savings. Revenue for fixed fee and time and expense arrangements is recognized over the performance period based upon actual hours incurred.

Transaction Price Allocated to Future Obligations

The new revenue recognition standard requires us to disclose the aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to performance obligations that have not yet been satisfied as of June 30, 2018. The guidance provides certain practical expedients that limit this requirement, including performance obligations that are part of a contract that is one year or less. Since the majority of our contracts are one year or less, we have applied this practical expedient related to quantifying remaining performance obligations.

Note 7. Debt and Financing Arrangements

On April 3, 2018, we amended and restated our $400 million unsecured credit facility (as so amended and restated, the “2018 credit facility”), by and among CBIZ Operations, Inc., CBIZ, Inc., and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and bank, and other participating banks. The 2018 credit facility amends and restates our credit agreement (prior to being amended and restated by the 2018 credit facility, the “2014 credit facility”), dated as of July 28, 2014, as amended by the First Amendment to credit agreement, dated as of April 10, 2015, and as amended by the Second Amendment to credit agreement, as filed on November 3, 2015.

The 2018 credit facility extends the maturity date from 2019 to 2023, and continues to provide for a $400 million revolving loan commitment. The 2018 credit facility improves our borrowing margin related to leverage ratio and

14

CBIZ, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

increases the flexibility of certain covenant baskets, as compared to the 2014 credit facility. In connection with our 2018 credit faci lity, we incurred approximately $1.1 million of financing costs during the second quarter of 2018, which have been deferred as other assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. These deferred financing costs are being amortized as interest expense on a stra ight line basis over the term of 2018 credit facility.

The 2018 credit facility provides us with the capital necessary to meet our working capital needs as well as the flexibility to continue with our strategic initiatives, including business acquisitions and share repurchases. In addition to the discussion below, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 for additional details of our debt and financing arrangements.

Bank Debt

The balance outstanding under the 2018 credit facility and the 2014 credit facility was $180.2 million and $178.5 million at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

Rates for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 were as follows:

|  | Six Months Ended |
|  | June 30, |
|  | 2018 |  |  | 2017 |
Weighted average rates |  | 3.03% |  |  | 2.60% |
Range of effective rates |  | 2.37% - 5.00% |  |  | 2.19% - 4.75% |

We have approximately $200 million of available funds under the 2018 credit facility at June 30, 2018, net of outstanding letters of credit of $0.9 million. As of June 30, 2018, we were in compliance with our debt covenants.

Interest Expense

During the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, interest expense under the 2018 credit facility and the 2014 credit facility was $1.8 million and $1.7 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, interest expense under the 2018 credit facility and 2014 credit facility was $3.6 million and $3.2 million, respectively.

Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies

Letters of Credit and Guarantees

We provide letters of credit to landlords (lessors) of our leased premises in lieu of cash security deposits, which totaled $0.9 million and $2.3 million at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. In addition, we provide license bonds to various state agencies to meet certain licensing requirements. The amount of license bonds outstanding was $2.9 million and $2.5 million at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

Legal Proceedings

In 2010, CBIZ, Inc. and its subsidiary, CBIZ MHM, LLC (fka CBIZ Accounting, Tax & Advisory Services, LLC) (the “CBIZ Parties”), were named as defendants in lawsuits filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona and the Superior Court for Maricopa County, Arizona. The federal court case is captioned Robert Facciola, et al v. Greenberg Traurig LLP, et al, and the state court cases are captioned Victims Recovery, LLC v. Greenberg Traurig LLP, et al, Roger Ashkenazi, et al v. Greenberg Traurig LLP, et al, Mary Marsh, et al v. Greenberg Traurig LLP, et al; and ML Liquidating Trust v. Mayer Hoffman McCann, P.C. (“Mayer Hoffman”), et al. Prior to these suits CBIZ MHM, LLC was named as a defendant in Jeffrey C. Stone v. Greenberg Traurig LLP, et al.

These lawsuits arose out of the bankruptcy of Mortgages Ltd., a mortgage lender to developers in the Phoenix, Arizona area. Various other professional firms and individuals not related to the Company were also named defendants in these lawsuits. The lawsuits asserted claims for, among others things, violations of the Arizona Securities Act, common law fraud, and negligent misrepresentation, and sought to hold the CBIZ Parties vicariously liable for Mayer Hoffman’s conduct as Mortgage Ltd.’s auditor, as either a statutory control person under the Arizona Securities Act or a joint venturer under Arizona common law.

CBIZ, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

With the exception of claims being pursued by two plaintiffs from the Ashkenazi lawsuit (“Baldino Group”), all other related matters have been dis missed or settled without payment by the CBIZ Parties. The Baldino Group’s claims, which allege damages of approximately $16 million, are currently stayed as to the CBIZ Parties and Mayer Hoffman, and no trial date has been set.

On September 16, 2016, CBIZ, Inc. and its subsidiary CBIZ Benefits & Insurance Services, Inc. (“CBIZ Benefits”) were named as defendants in a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania. The federal court case is brought by UPMC, d/b/a University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, and a health system it acquired, UPMC Altoona (formerly, Altoona Regional Health System). The lawsuit asserts professional negligence, breach of contract, and negligent misrepresentation claims against CBIZ, CBIZ Benefits and a former employee of CBIZ Benefits in connection with actuarial services provided by CBIZ Benefits to Altoona Regional Health System. The complaint seeks damages in an amount of no less than $142 million.

We cannot predict the outcome of the above matters or estimate the possible loss or range of possible loss, if any. Although the proceedings are subject to uncertainties inherent in the litigation process and the ultimate disposition of these proceedings is not presently determinable, we intend to vigorously defend these cases.

In addition to those items disclosed above, we are, from time to time, subject to claims and suits arising in the ordinary course of business.

Note 9. Financial Instruments

Bonds

We held corporate and municipal bonds with par values totaling $52.6 million and $49.5 million at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. All bonds are investment grade and are classified as available-for-sale. These bonds have maturity or callable dates ranging from July 2018 through November 2023, and are included in “Funds held for clients – current” in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets based on our intent and ability to sell these investments at any time under favorable conditions. The following table summarizes our bond activity for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2017 (in thousands):

Fair value at end of period |  | $ | 53,674 |  |  | $ | 51,101 |

Interest Rate Swaps

We do not purchase or hold any derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We utilize interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk exposure associated with our floating-rate debt under the credit facility. Under these interest rate swap contracts, we receive cash flows from counterparties at variable rates based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and pay the counterparties a fixed rate. See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 for further discussion on our interest rate swaps.

During the second quarter of 2018, we entered into an additional interest rate swap with a notional value of $15 million at a fixed interest rate of 2.64% maturing in 5 years.

Contingent Purchase Price Liabilities

Contingent purchase price liabilities result from our business acquisitions and are recorded at fair value at the time of acquisition and are recorded in “Contingent purchase price liability — current” and “Contingent purchase price liability — non-current” in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. We estimate the fair value of our contingent purchase price liabilities using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model. This fair value measure is based on significant inputs not observed in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement. Fair value measurements characterized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are measured based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and reflect our own assumptions in measuring fair value.

We probability weight risk-adjusted estimates of future performance of acquired businesses, then calculate the contingent purchase price based on the estimates and discount them to present value representing management’s best estimate of fair value. The fair value of the contingent purchase price liabilities are reassessed on a quarterly basis based on assumptions provided by practice group leaders and business unit controllers together with our corporate finance department. Any change in the fair value estimate is recorded in the earnings of that period. Refer to Note 14, Acquisitions, for further discussion of our acquisitions and contingent purchase price liabilities.

The carrying amounts of our cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments, and the carrying value of bank debt approximates fair value as the interest rate on the bank debt is variable and approximates current market rates. As a result, the fair value measurement of our bank debt is considered to be Level 2.

We utilized the Black-Scholes-Merton options-pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options on the date of grant. The fair value of stock options granted during the second quarter of 2018 was $4.73. The following weighted average assumptions were utilized:

|  | Six Months Ended June 30, |
Expected volatility (1) |  |  | 22.04 | %
Expected option life (years) (2) |  |  | 4.62 |
Risk-free interest rate (3) |  |  | 2.80 | %
Expected dividend yield (4) |  |  | 0.00 | %

| (1) | The expected volatility assumption was determined based upon the historical volatility of our stock price, using daily price intervals.

| (2) | The expected option life was determined based upon our historical data using a midpoint scenario, which assumes all options are exercised halfway between the expiration date and the weighted average time for the option to vest.

CBIZ, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

| (3) | The risk-free interest rate assumption was based upon zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bonds with a term approximating the expected life of the respective options.

Note 14. Acquisitions

Our acquisition strategy focuses on businesses with a leadership team that is committed to best in class culture, extraordinary client service and cross-serving potential. CBIZ has a long history of acquiring businesses that share common cultural values with us and provide value-added services to the small and midsize business market. The valuation of any business is a subjective process and includes industry, geography, profit margins, expected cash flows, client retention, nature of recurring or non-recurring project-based work, growth rate assumptions and competitive market conditions.

2018

During the first half of 2018, we acquired substantially all of the assets of two businesses; InR Advisory Services, LLC (“InR”), effective April 1, 2018, and Laurus Transaction Advisors, LLC (“Laurus”), effective February 1, 2018.

CBIZ, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

Aggregate consideration for the InR and Laurus acquisitions consisted of approximately $23.4 million in cash consideration, $0.9 million in CBIZ common stock and $12.4 million in contingent consideration. Under the terms of these acquisition agr eements, a portion of the purchase price is contingent on future performance of the business acquired. The maximum potential undiscounted amount of all future payments that we could be required to make under the contingent arrangements is $12.4 million, of which $3.4 million was recorded in “Contingent purchase price liability – current” and $9 million was recorded in “Contingent purchase price liability – non-current” in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 30, 2018. Refer to No te 10, Fair Value Measurements, for additional information regarding contingent purchase price liability fair value and fair value adjustments.

Annualized revenue for these acquisitions is estimated to be approximately $9.1 million. Pro forma results of operations for these acquisitions have not been presented because the effects of the acquisitions were not significant to our “Income from continuing operations before income taxes.”

2017

During the first half of 2017, we acquired substantially all of the assets of three businesses; CMF Associates, LLC (“CMF”), effective June 1, 2017, Slaton Insurance (“Slaton”), effective June 1, 2017, and Pacific Coastal Pension and Insurance Services, Inc. (“Pacific Coastal”), effective February 1, 2017. CMF, located in Philadelphia, provides various financial consulting, executive search and deal origination services. Operating results of CMF are reported in the Financial Services practice group. Slaton, located in West Palm Beach, Florida, is a full service insurance brokerage firm offering clients a complete line of services including commercial lines, risk management and employee benefits. Pacific Coastal, located in Morgan Hill, California, provides defined contribution third party administrative and consulting services. Operating results for both Slaton and Pacific Coastal are reported in the Benefits and Insurance Services practice group.

Aggregate consideration for these acquisitions consisted of approximately $23.7 million in cash consideration, $2 million in CBIZ common stock and $17.5 million in contingent consideration. The maximum potential undiscounted amount of all future payments that we could be required to make under the contingent arrangements is $17.5 million, of which $5.9 million was recorded in “Contingent purchase price liability – current” and $11.6 million was recorded in “Contingent purchase price liability – non-current” in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 30, 2017.

Annualized revenue for these acquisitions is estimated to be approximately $23.2 million. Pro forma results of operations for these acquisitions have not been presented because the effects of the acquisitions were not significant to our “Income from continuing operations before income taxes.”

The following table summarizes the amounts of identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed and aggregate purchase price for the acquisitions for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 (in thousands):

|  | Six Months Ended |
|  | June 30, |
|  | 2018 |  |  | 2017 |
Cash |  | $ | 306 |  |  | $ | 843 |
Accounts receivable, net |  |  | 1,920 |  |  |  | 4,338 |
Property and equipment, net |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 24 |
Other assets |  |  | 12 |  |  |  | 151 |
Identifiable intangible assets |  |  | 3,864 |  |  |  | 3,115 |
Current liabilities |  |  | (1,717 | ) |  |  | (4,716 | )
Total identifiable net assets |  | $ | 4,385 |  |  | $ | 3,755 |
Goodwill |  |  | 32,255 |  |  |  | 39,460 |
Aggregate purchase price |  | $ | 36,640 |  |  | $ | 43,215 |

The goodwill of $32.3 million and $39.5 million arising from the acquisitions in the first half of 2018 and 2017, respectively, primarily results from expected future earnings and cash flows from the existing management team, as well as the synergies created by the integration of the new business within our organization, including cross-selling opportunities expected with our Financial Services practice group and the Benefits and Insurance Services practice group, to help strengthen our existing service offerings and expand our market position. All of the goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes.

Client Lists

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we did not purchase any client lists. During the same period in 2017, we purchased one client list which is reported in the Benefits and Insurance Services practice group for $0.7 million of contingent consideration.

Change in Contingent Purchase Price Liability for Previous Acquisitions

During the first half of 2018 and 2017, the fair value of the contingent purchase price liability related to prior acquisitions increased by $3.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively. The change in fair value during the first half of 2018 is mostly attributable to the change in stock price related to the mark-to-market adjustment of future common stock issuances, while the change in fair value for the first half of 2017 is due to the subsequent measurement adjustment based on projected future results of the acquired businesses. These adjustments are included in “Other income (expense), net” in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

Contingent Payments for Previous Acquisitions and Client Lists

We paid $4.1 million in cash and issued approximately 56,000 shares of our common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2018 for previous acquisitions. For the same period in 2017, we paid $4.8 million in cash and issued approximately 177,000 shares of our common for previous acquisitions. For the first half of 2018 and 2017, we paid approximately $0.6 million and $0.7 million in cash for previous client list purchases.

Note 15. Discontinued Operations and Divestitures

We will divest (through sale or closure) business operations that do not contribute to our long-term objectives for growth, or that are not complementary to our target service offerings and markets.

Discontinued Operations

Discontinued operations primarily consist of two small businesses under the Financial Services segment that were sold in 2015. During the first half of both 2018 and 2017, we did not discontinue the operations of any of our businesses.

Divestitures

Divested operations and assets that do not qualify for treatment as discontinued operations are recorded as “Gain on sale of operations, net” in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. We recorded a gain of $0.7 million in the first half of 2018, related to a small book of business under the Benefits and Insurance Services practice group.

Note 16. Segment Disclosures

Our business units have been aggregated into three practice groups: Financial Services, Benefits and Insurance Services and National Practices. The business units have been aggregated based on the following factors: similarity of the products and services provided to clients; similarity of the regulatory environment in which they operate; and similarity of economic conditions affecting long-term performance. The business units are managed along these segment lines. A general description of services provided by each practice group is provided in the table below.

Financial Services | Benefits and Insurance Services | National Practices
• Accounting and Tax • Government Healthcare Consulting • Financial Advisory • Valuation • Risk & Advisory Services | • Group Health Benefits Consulting • Payroll • Property & Casualty • Retirement Plan Services | • Managed Networking and Hardware Services • Healthcare Consulting

Corporate and Other. Included in “Corporate and Other” are operating expenses that are not directly allocated to the individual business units. These expenses are primarily comprised of certain health care costs, gains or losses

attributable to assets h eld in our non-qualified deferred compensation plan, share-based compensation, consolidation and integration charges, certain professional fees, certain advertising costs and other various expenses.

Accounting policies of the practice groups are the same as those described in Note 1, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies, to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. Upon consolidation, intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated, thus inter-segment revenue is not included in the measure of profit or loss for the practice groups. Performance of the practice groups is evaluated on operating income excluding those costs listed above, which are reported in the “Corporate and Other” segment.

Segment information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 is presented below. We do not manage our assets on a segment basis, therefore segment assets are not presented below.

Subsequent to June 30, 2018 and through July 31, 2018, we repurchased approximately 0.1 million shares in the open market at a total cost of $1.2 million under our current Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, which allows us to repurchase shares below a predetermined price per share.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “we”, “us”, “our”, "CBIZ" or the "Company" shall mean CBIZ, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its operating subsidiaries.

The following discussion is intended to assist in the understanding of our financial position at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, results of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements and should also be read in conjunction with the disclosures and information contained in “Forward-Looking Statements” included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Overview

We provide professional business services, products and solutions that help our clients grow and succeed by better managing their finances and employees. These services are provided to businesses of various sizes, as well as individuals, governmental entities and not-for-profit enterprises throughout the United States and parts of Canada. We deliver integrated services through three practice groups: Financial Services, Benefits and Insurance Services, and National Practices. Refer to Note 16, Segment Disclosures, to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for a general description of services provided by each practice group.

Refer to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 for further discussion of our business and strategies, as well as the external relationships and regulatory factors that currently impact our operations.

Executive Summary

Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2018 increased $21.6 million, or 10.2%, to $232.6 million from $211 million for the same period in 2017. The increase in revenue was attributable to an increase in same-unit revenue of $12.4 million, or 5.9%, and newly acquired operations of $9.2 million, or 4.3%.

Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2018 increased $46.2 million, or 10.2%, to $498.7 million from $452.4 million for the same period in 2017. The increase in revenue was attributable to an increase in same-unit revenue of $26.4 million, or 5.8%, and newly acquired operations of $19.8 million, or 4.4%. A detailed discussion of revenue by practice group is included under “Operating Practice Groups.”

Income from continuing operations was $13.1 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2018, compared to $11.4 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2017. For the first half of 2018, income from continuing operations was $48.9 million, or $0.87 per diluted share, compared to $36.4 million, or $0.66 per diluted share, for the same period in 2017. Refer to “Results of Operations – Continuing Operations” for a detailed discussion of the components of income from continuing operations.

Strategic Use of Capital

Our first priority for the use of capital is to make strategic acquisitions. We have the financing flexibility and the capacity to carry out an active acquisition program and to take an opportunistic approach towards using funds to repurchase shares.

In the first quarter of 2018, the CBIZ Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up to 5 million shares of our common stock under our Share Repurchase Program (the “Share Repurchase Program”), which may be suspended or discontinued at any time and expires on April 1, 2019. The shares may be purchased in open market, privately negotiated or Rule 10b5-1 trading plan purchases, which may include purchases from our employees, officers and directors, in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) rules. CBIZ management will determine the timing and amount of the transactions based on its evaluation of market conditions and other factors.

| • | During the second quarter of 2018, we acquired InR Advisory Services, LLC (“InR”), an investment advisory services firm with clients in the public and private sector as well as non-profit organizations. For further discussion regarding acquisitions, refer to Note 14, Acquisitions, to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

25

| • | W e repurchased approximately 94,000 shares of our common stock at a total aggregate cost of approximately $2 million, during the second quarter, under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, which allows us to repurchase shares below a predetermined price per share. In the first half of 2018, we repurchased approximately 129 thousand shares of our common stock at a total cost of approximately $2.7 million.

Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

On April 3, 2018, we amended and restated our $400 million unsecured credit facility (as so amended and restated, the “2018 credit facility”) by and among CBIZ Operations, Inc., CBIZ, Inc., and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and bank, and other participating banks. The 2018 credit facility amends and restates the previous credit facility, extends the maturity date from 2019 to 2023, and continues to provide for a $400 million revolving loan commitment. The 2018 credit facility improves our borrowing margin and increases the flexibility of certain covenant baskets, as compared to the previous credit facility.

Adoption of ASU 2015-14 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers

On January 1, 2018, we adopted the new accounting standard, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“Topic 606”) and all of the related amendments. We recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying Topic 606 as an increase of $1.6 million to the opening balance of retained earnings. Revenue recognition is consistent under both the legacy standard and Topic 606 for the majority of our revenue streams, with the exception of two business units within our Benefits and Insurance Services practice group. The revenue recognition policies in our Benefits and Insurance Services practice group have been modified under the new standard. Refer to Note 2, New Accounting Pronouncements, and Note 3, Revenue, to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion on Topic 606.

Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Tax Act”)

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Act was signed into law, which reduced the maximum corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% beginning in 2018. As a result, our effective tax rate was 25.1% for the first half of 2018 compared to 36% for the first half of 2017. As a result of the Tax Act, our diluted earnings per share from continuing operations increased by $0.03 during the second quarter of 2018 and by $0.14 during the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Recent Accomplishments and Other Events

100 Best Workplaces for Millennials – In June 2018, we were selected and honored amongst 100 recipients as one of the “2018 Best Workplaces for Millennials” by Great Place to Work and Fortune magazine. CBIZ ranked #70 out of 100 companies.

Non-qualified Deferred Compensation Plan

We sponsor a non-qualified deferred compensation plan, under which a CBIZ employee’s compensation deferral is held in a rabbi trust and invested accordingly as directed by the employee. Income and expenses related to the non-qualified deferred compensation plan are included in “Operating expenses”, “Gross margin” and “Corporate general and administrative expenses” and are directly offset by deferred compensation gains or losses in “Other income (expense), net” in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The non-qualified deferred compensation plan has no impact on “Income from continuing operations before income tax expense” or diluted earnings per share from continuing operations.

Three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to June 30, 2017. The majority of our operating expenses relate to personnel costs, which includes (i) salaries and benefits, (ii) commissions paid to producers (iii) incentive compensation, and (iv) share-based compensation. The increase in our operating costs is largely the result of an increase in personnel costs of $14.7 million, or 10%, to support our growth in revenue, with acquisitions contributing approximately $5.2 million to personnel costs. Operating costs as a percentage of revenue decreased in the second quarter of 2018 primarily due to leveraging personnel costs and other operating expenses with the increase in revenue. Personnel costs are discussed in further detail under “Operating Practice Groups.” Travel costs primarily attributable to the growth in our advisory business in the Financial Services practice group are also contributing to the increase in operating costs. Travel-related expenses increased $1.4 million, or 21.2%.

The non-qualified deferred compensation added expense of $1.8 million in the second quarter of 2018 compared to expense of $2 million during the same period in 2017. Excluding the non-qualified deferred compensation expenses, operating expenses would have been $203.3 million and $186.1 million, or 87.4% and 88.2% of revenue, for the second quarter of 2018 and 2017, respectively. The remaining fluctuation consists of other operating expenses, none of which are individually significant.

Six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to June 30, 2017. The increase in operating costs and the decrease as a percentage of revenue for the first half of 2018 is due to the same factors as discussed above in the quarterly section. Personnel costs increased $27.1 million, or 9.1%, with acquisitions contributing $11.6 million to personnel costs. Travel-related expenses contributed an increase of $2.5 million, or 18.7%. The remaining fluctuation consists of other operating expenses, none of which are individually significant.

The non-qualified deferred compensation added expense of $1.7 million for the first half of 2018 compared to expense of $4.9 million during the same period in 2017. Excluding the non-qualified deferred compensation expenses, operating expenses would have been $408.1 million and $375.9 million, or 81.8% and 83.1% of revenue, for the first half of 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to June 30, 2017. The increase in our G&A expenses is primarily due to a $0.3 million, or 4.9%, increase in personnel costs mostly related to an increase in incentive-based compensation. G&A expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased in the second quarter of 2018 primarily due to leveraging personnel costs and other G&A expenses with the increase in revenue. Personnel costs were $5.7 million, or 2.4% of revenue, in the second of quarter of 2018 compared to $5.4 million, or 2.6% of revenue, for the same period in 2017. G&A expenses, excluding the impact of the non-qualified deferred compensation plan, would have been $9.8 million and $9 million, or 4.2% and 4.3% of revenue, for the second quarter of 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to June 30, 2017. Our G&A expenses increased primarily due to the same factors as discussed above in the quarterly section. Personnel costs increased by $1.8 million, or 17.4%, due to an increase in incentive-based compensation. G&A expenses, excluding the impact of the non-qualified deferred compensation plan, would have been $19.9 million and $17.5 million, or 4% and 3.9% of revenue, for the first half of 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Interest Expense

Three and six months ended June 30, 2018 compared with June 30, 2017. Interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 increased slightly from the same period in 2017. For the second quarter of 2018, our average debt balance and interest rate was $209.1 million and 3.07%, compared to $214.2 million and 2.67% for the second quarter of 2017. For the first half of 2018, our average debt balance and interest rate was $202.3 million and 3.03%, compared to $206.9 million and 2.60% for the first half of 2017. Our debt is further discussed in Note 7, Debt and Financing Arrangements, to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Gain on Sale of Operations, Net

Three and six months ended June 30, 2018 compared with June 30, 2017. We sold a book of business under the Benefits and Insurance Services practice group during the first half of 2018 for a net gain of $0.7 million.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Three and six months ended June 30, 2018 compared with June 30, 2017. Other income (expense), net includes a net gain of $2 million and $2.2 million for the second quarter of 2018 and 2017, respectively, associated with the value of investments held in a rabbi trust related to the non-qualified deferred compensation plan. Adjustments to the fair value of our contingent purchase price liability related to prior acquisitions contributed expense of $1.4 million during the second quarter of 2018 compared to income of $1.4 million for the same period in 2017.

Other income (expense), net includes a net gain of $1.9 million and $5.5 million for the second half of 2018 and 2017, respectively, associated with the non-qualified deferred compensation plan as explained above. Adjustments to the fair value of our contingent purchase price liability related to prior acquisitions contributed expense of $3.1 million during the first half of 2018 compared to income of $0.8 million for the same period in 2017. Also included in other income (expense) net, for the first half of 2018 is $0.6 million in proceeds from business interruption insurance related to Hurricane Irma.

Three and six months ended June 30, 2018 compared with June 30, 2017. The decrease in our effective tax rate is mostly attributable to the Tax Act signed into law on December 22, 2017, which permanently reduces the corporate income tax rate. The excess tax benefit related to stock compensation accounting also has an impact on the decrease in our effective tax rate.

Three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to June 30, 2017

Revenue

The Financial Services practice group revenue during the second quarter of 2018 grew by 14.4% to $151.7 million from $132.6 million in the second quarter of 2017, primarily reflecting same-unit growth of 11.1 million, or 8.4%, driven by those units that provide national services, which increased by $7.1 million, or 13.8%, as well as those units that provide traditional accounting and tax related services, which increased by $3.9 million, or 4.8%. This practice group benefited

30

from project work and growth in the governmental health care compliance business, as well as higher pricing and an increase in billable hours in those units that provide traditional accounting and tax-related services.

The acquisitions of Laurus Transaction Advisors, LLC (“Laurus”), acquired February 1, 2018; McKay & Carnahan, Inc. (“McKay”), acquired December 1, 2017, and CMF Associates, LLC. (“CMF”), acquired June 1, 2017, added approximately $8.1 million of incremental revenue.

We provide a range of services to affiliated CPA firms under joint referral and administrative service agreements (“ASAs”). Fees earned under the ASAs are recorded as revenue in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and were approximately $39.9 million and $39.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses increased by $13.2 million, or 11.4%, during the second quarter of 2018, but decreased to 85.1% of revenue from 87.4% of revenue for the prior year, primarily due to leveraging personnel costs and other operating expenses with the increase in revenue. Personnel costs increased by $10.9 million, or 11.6%, with acquisitions contributing approximately $4.6 million to the increase in personnel costs. Travel costs attributable to the growth in our advisory business are also contributing to the increase in operating expenses. Travel-related costs increased $1.2 million, or 27.9%.

Revenue

The Benefits and Insurance Services practice group revenue during the second quarter of 2018 increased by $2.2 million, or 3.1%, to $72.8 million compared to $70.6 million for the same period in 2017. The increase was driven by $1.2 million of incremental revenue from the acquisitions of InR, acquired April 1, 2018, and Slaton Insurance (“Slaton”), acquired June 1, 2017. Same-unit revenue growth contributed approximately $1 million to revenue in the second quarter of 2018.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses increased by $1.3 million, or 2.2%, during the second quarter of 2018, but decreased to 84.1% of revenue from 84.9% of revenue for the same period in 2017, primarily due to leveraging personnel costs and other operating expenses with the increase in revenue. Personnel costs increased by $1.2 million, or 2.8%, with acquisitions contributing approximately $0.6 million to the increase in personnel costs.

Revenue and Operating Expenses

The National Practices group is primarily driven by a cost-plus contract with a single client, which has existed since 1999. Revenues from this single client accounted for approximately 75% of the National Practice group’s revenue. For the second quarter and first half of 2018, revenue increased by $0.3 million, or 3.6%, and $0.8 million, or 5%, respectively, while operating expenses increased $0.3 million, or 4.6%, and $0.6 million, or 4.2%, driven by an increase in salaries and benefits.

LIQUIDITY

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash generated from operating activities and financing activities. Our cash flows from operating activities are driven primarily by our operating results and changes in our working capital requirements while our cash flows from financing activities are dependent upon our ability to access credit or other capital. We historically maintain low cash levels and apply any available cash to pay down the outstanding debt balance.

We historically experience a use of cash to fund working capital requirements during the first quarter of each fiscal year. This is primarily due to the seasonal accounting and tax services period under the Financial Services practice group. Upon completion of the seasonal accounting and tax services period, cash provided by operations during the remaining three quarters of the fiscal year substantially exceeds the use of cash in the first quarter of the fiscal year.

Accounts receivable balances increase in response to the increase in first quarter revenue generated by the Financial Services practice group. A significant amount of this revenue is billed and collected in subsequent quarters. Days sales outstanding (“DSO”) from continuing operations represent accounts receivable and unbilled revenue (net of realization adjustments) at the end of the period, divided by trailing twelve months daily revenue. We provide DSO data because such data is commonly used as a performance measure by analysts and investors and as a measure of our ability to collect on receivables in a timely manner. DSO was 82 days and 72 days at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. DSO at June 30, 2017 was 83 days.

The following table presents selected cash flow information (in thousands). For additional details, refer to the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Net cash provided by operating activities |  | $ | 41,106 |  |  | $ | 24,238 |
Net cash provided by investing activities |  |  | 42,471 |  |  |  | 31,757 |

Net increase in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash |  | $ | 8,047 |  |  | $ | 4,711 |

Operating Activities

The $16.9 million net increase in cash provided by operations was mainly due to an increase in net income of $13.1 million and a $4.3 million increase in noncash item adjustments, notably an increase in the adjustment to the contingent earnout liability of $3.8 million.

33

Investing Activities

Cash provided by investing activities for the first half of 2018 consisted primarily of net activity related to funds held for clients of $71.4 million, partially offset by $23.7 million of cash used related to the acquisitions of Laurus and InR. Cash provided by investing activities in the first half of 2017 consisted primarily of $65 million of net activity related to funds held for clients, partially offset by $26.6 million of cash used related to the acquisitions of CMF, Slaton and The Savitz Organization.

The balances in funds held for clients and client fund obligations can fluctuate with the timing of cash receipts and the related cash payments. The nature of these accounts is further described in Note 1, Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities for the first half of 2018 primarily consisted of net decrease in client fund obligations of $71.3 million, as well as $4.6 million in contingent consideration payments related to prior acquisitions, partially offset by $1.7 million in net proceeds from the credit facility.

Cash used in financing activities for the first half of 2017 consisted primarily of a net decrease of $65 million in client fund obligations, partially offset by $19.2 million in net proceeds from our credit facility and the repurchase of our common stock at a cost of approximately $4.3 million under the Share Repurchase Program. We also withheld shares with an aggregate value of approximately $1.4 million from employees who exercised stock options or who received vested restricted stock awards. Such shares were withheld, if applicable, to cover the required tax withholdings.

Capital Resources

Credit Facility

At June 30, 2018, we had $180.2 million outstanding under the 2018 credit facility as well as letters of credit totaling $0.9 million. Available funds under the 2018 credit facility, based on the terms of the commitment, were approximately $200 million at June 30, 2018. For further discussion regarding our debt, refer to Note 7, Debt and Financing Arrangements, to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Debt Covenant Compliance

Under the 2018 credit facility, we are required to meet certain financial covenants with respect to (i) total leverage ratio and (ii) a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. We are in compliance with our covenants as of June 30, 2018. Our ability to service our debt and to fund future strategic initiatives will depend upon our ability to generate cash in the future.

Use of Capital

Our first priority for the use of capital is to make strategic acquisitions. We have the financing flexibility and the capacity to carry out an active acquisition program and to take an opportunistic approach towards using funds to repurchase shares. We believe that repurchasing shares of our common stock under the Share Repurchase Program is a prudent use of our financial resources, and that investing in our shares is an attractive use of capital and an efficient means to provide value to our shareholders.

| • | We completed two acquisitions during the six months ended June 30, 2018. For further details on acquisitions, refer to Note 14, Acquisitions, to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

| • | In the first half of 2018, we repurchased approximately 0.1 million shares of our common stock at a total cost of approximately $2.7 million, compared to 0.3 million shares of our common stock at a total cost of approximately $4.3 million for the same period in 2017. For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, we withheld approximately 0.1 million and 0.1 million shares with an aggregate value of approximately $1.7 million and $1.4 million from employees who exercised stock options or who received vested restricted stock awards. Such shares were withheld, if applicable, to cover the required tax withholdings.

34

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We maintain administrative service agreements with independent CPA firms (as described more fully under “Business – Financial Services” and in Note 1, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017), which qualify as variable interest entities. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not reflect the operations or accounts of variable interest entities as the impact is not material to the financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows of CBIZ.

We provide letters of credit to landlords (lessors) of our leased premises in lieu of cash security deposits, which totaled $0.9 million and $2.3 million at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. In addition, we provide license bonds to various state agencies to meet certain licensing requirements. The amount of license bonds outstanding at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 totaled $2.9 million and $2.5 million, respectively.

We have various agreements under which it may be obligated to indemnify the other party with respect to certain matters. Generally, these indemnification clauses are included in contracts arising in the normal course of business under which we customarily agree to hold the other party harmless against losses arising from a breach of representations, warranties, covenants or agreements, related to matters such as title to assets sold and certain tax matters. Payment by us under such indemnification clauses is generally conditioned upon the other party making a claim. Such claims are typically subject to challenge by us and to dispute resolution procedures specified in the particular contract. Further, our obligations under these agreements may be limited in terms of time and/or amount and, in some instances, we may have recourse against third parties for certain payments made by us. It is not possible to predict the maximum potential amount of future payments under these indemnification agreements due to the conditional nature of our obligations and the unique facts of each particular agreement. Historically, we have not made any payments under these agreements that have been material individually or in the aggregate. As of June 30, 2018, we are not aware of any material obligations arising under indemnification agreements that would require payment.

Critical Accounting Policies

The SEC defines critical accounting policies as those that are most important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results and that require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted Topic 606. As a result, we have changed our accounting policy for revenue recognition as described in Note 2, New Accounting Pronouncements, and Note 3, Revenue.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Refer to Note 2, New Accounting Pronouncements, to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for a discussion of recently issued accounting pronouncements.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Quarterly Report, including without limitation, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" regarding our financial position, business strategy and plans and objectives for future performance are forward-looking statements. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements are commonly identified by the use of such terms and phrases as "intends", "believes", "estimates", "expects", "projects", "anticipates", "foreseeable future", "seeks", and words or phrases of similar import in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions, future performance or results of current and anticipated services, sales efforts, expenses, and financial results. From time to time, we also may provide oral or written forward-looking statements in other materials we release to the public. Any or all of our forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in any other public statements that we make, are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Such forward-looking statements can be affected by inaccurate assumptions we might make or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties. Should one or more of these risks or assumptions materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected.

35

Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. A more detailed description of risk factors may be found in our Annual Repor t on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. Except as required by the federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You are ad vised, however, to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in our filings with the SEC, such as quarterly, periodic and annual reports.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Our floating rate debt under our 2018 credit facility exposes us to interest rate risk. Interest rate risk results when the maturity or repricing intervals of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities are different. A change in the Federal Funds Rate, or the reference rate set by Bank of America, N.A., would affect the rate at which we could borrow funds under the credit facility. Our balance outstanding under our 2018 credit facility at June 30, 2018 was $180.2 million, of which $95.2 million is subject to rate risk. If market rates were to increase or decrease 100 basis points from the levels at June 30, 2018, interest expense would increase or decrease approximately $1 million annually.

We do not engage in trading market risk sensitive instruments. We periodically use interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk exposure. The interest rate swaps effectively modify our exposure to interest rate risk, primarily through converting portions of its floating rate debt under the 2018 credit facility to a fixed rate basis. These agreements involve the receipt or payment of floating rate amounts in exchange for fixed rate interest payments over the life of the agreements without an exchange of the underlying principal amounts.

At June 30, 2018, we had five interest rate swaps with notional values of $15 million, $25 million, $10 million, $20 million and $15 million with maturities of 5 months, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years and 5 years, respectively. Refer to Note 9, Financial Instruments, for further details on our interest rate swaps. Management will continue to evaluate the potential use of interest rate swaps as we deem appropriate under certain operating and market conditions. We do not enter into derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

In connection with our payroll business, funds held for clients are segregated and invested in short-term investments, such as corporate and municipal bonds. In accordance with our investment policy, all investments carry an investment grade rating at the time of the initial investment. At each respective balance sheet date, these investments are adjusted to fair value with fair value adjustments being recorded to other comprehensive income or loss and reflected in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for the respective period. If an adjustment is deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired due to credit loss, then the adjustment is recorded to “Other income (expense), net” in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Refer to Note 9, Financial Instruments, and Note 10, Fair Value Measurements, to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for further discussion regarding these investments and the related fair value assessments.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (“Disclosure Controls”) as of the end of the period covered by this report. This evaluation (“Controls Evaluation”) was done with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”). Disclosure Controls are controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure Controls include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the CEO and CFO as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

36

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Management, including our CEO and CFO, does not expect that our Disclosure Controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. Although our Disclosure Controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objective, a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the objectives of a control system are met. Further, any control system reflects limitations on resources, and the benefits of a control system must be considered relative to its costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within CBIZ have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of a control. A design of a control system is also based upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.

Conclusions

Our Disclosure Controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and, based upon the Controls Evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, CBIZ’s Disclosure Controls were effective at that reasonable assurance level.

(b) Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We implemented internal controls to ensure we adequately evaluated our contracts and properly assessed the impact of the new accounting standard related to revenue recognition on our financial statements to facilitate the adoption on January 1, 2018. There were no significant changes to our internal control over financial reporting due to the adoption of the new revenue recognition standard. Refer to Note 2, New Accounting Pronouncements, and Note 3, Revenue, for further information.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Information regarding certain legal proceedings in which we are involved is incorporated by reference from Note 8, Commitments and Contingencies, to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed under “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 as filed with the SEC. These risks could materially and adversely affect the business, financial condition and results of operations of CBIZ.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

(a) Recent sales of unregistered securities

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we issued approximately 0.1 million shares of our common stock as payment for contingent consideration for previous acquisitions.

The above referenced shares were issued in transactions not involving a public offering in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The persons to whom the shares were issued had access to full information about CBIZ and represented that they acquired the shares for their own account and not for the purpose of distribution. The certificates for the shares contain a restrictive legend advising that the shares may not be offered for

37

sale, sold, or otherwise transferred without having first been registered under the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from the Securities Act.

(c) Issuer purchases of equity securities

Our first priority for the use of capital is to make strategic acquisitions. We have the financing flexibility and the capacity to carry out an active acquisition program and to take an opportunistic approach towards using funds to repurchase shares. We have a Share Repurchase Program, authorized by our Board of Directors, which allows us to purchase up to 5 million shares of our common stock (i) in the open market, (ii) in privately negotiated transactions, and (iii) under Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. Privately negotiated transactions may include purchases from our employees, Officers and Directors, in accordance with SEC rules. Rule 10b5-1 trading plans allow for repurchases during periods when we would not normally be active in the trading market due to regulatory restrictions. The Share Repurchase Program does not obligate us to acquire any specific number of shares and may be suspended at any time.

On February 8, 2018, our Board of Directors authorized the continuation of the Share Repurchase Program, which has been renewed annually for the past fourteen years. It is effective beginning April 1, 2018, to which the amount of shares to be purchased will be reset to 5 million, and expires one year from the effective date.

Shares repurchased during the three months ended June 30, 2018 (reported on a trade-date basis) are summarized in the table below (in thousands, except per share data). During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we repurchased 93,707 shares of our common stock at a total cost of approximately $2 million, which does not include the purchase of shares withheld for tax purposes under the 2014 Plan. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, approximately 94,414 shares were purchased from stock plan recipients in lieu of cash to satisfy certain tax obligations under the 2014 Plan. Average price paid per share includes fees and commissions.

According to the terms of our 2018 credit facility, we are not permitted to declare or make any dividend payments, other than dividend payments made by one of our wholly owned subsidiaries to the parent company. Refer to Note 7, Debt and Financing Arrangements, to the consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 for a description of working capital restrictions and limitations on the payment of dividends.
