"Our continued focus on growth and execution generated outstanding results, particularly given that the first quarter is seasonally not our strongest," stated Steve Zuccarini, Chief Executive Officer of InnerWorkings. "Further, we are encouraged by the increasingly broad-based acceptance of InnerWorkings' business model and the acceleration of the market's recognition of our print management solution. This recognition continues to drive the expansion of our client relationships and our record recruiting results."

-- For the first quarter of 2008, 64 percent of the Company's revenue was generated from sales to enterprise clients, with the remaining 36 percent derived from transactional clients.

"InnerWorkings is in a strong financial position. In addition to our separately announced share repurchase program, we continue to evaluate other alternatives to deploy our cash in support of our strategic initiatives and for the benefit of our shareholders," stated Nick Galassi, Chief Financial Officer of InnerWorkings. "Moreover, if you exclude the effect of stock-based compensation, the significant operating leverage improvement demonstrates our ability to invest in the business while continuing to operate more efficiently."
