SAN MATEO, Calif., Nov. 5, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- WageWorks, Inc.

"We are very pleased with our strong third quarter performance. Demand for Consumer-Directed Benefits and our multi-product platform continues to increase, as employers focus on controlling their benefits costs and their employees try to manage their rising out of pocket healthcare expenses. This demand has been fueling another record enterprise selling season, an encouraging SMB selling season, and an exciting start to Open Enrollment. In addition, our expanding channel partnerships, carrier relationships and opportunities in private and public exchanges continue to drive our business. As we are executing across our growth strategies, we are well positioned to meet our 2015 objectives," said Joe Jackson, Chief Executive Officer of WageWorks.
For the third quarter, WageWorks reported total revenue of $83.2 million, compared to $68.0 million for the third quarter of 2014, an increase of 22 percent. Healthcare revenue was $42.2 million, compared to $38.6 million for the third quarter of 2014, an increase of 9 percent.

Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was $26.5 million for the third quarter of 2015, a 47 percent increase compared to $18.0 million for the third quarter of 2014.
The reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to the comparable GAAP measures for the third quarter 2015 and 2014 is detailed in the tables provided in this press release.

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