team continues to execute on our strategy, strengthening customer
relationships and increasing our presence in the marketplace. During the
quarter we had seven new enterprise wins, and we continue to see extremely
positive results in the strategic investments we have made.”
“While we continue to invest and add staff to build our business and capture
market share, profitability remains a core objective. Our margins improved
over the first quarter of 2006 and were in line with our expectations,”
stated Nick Galassi, Chief Financial Officer of InnerWorkings. “At the same
time, we’re encouraged by our integration efforts to date and the resulting
efficiencies that have been realized.”

range of $260 million to $280 million with resulting net income and diluted
earnings per share in the ranges of $16.0 million to $17.0 million and $0.30
to $0.33, respectively. The Company’s diluted earnings per share reflect the
new capital structure as of its IPO and follow-on offering.
“We’re very proud of our team’s exceptional performance to start off the
year, and we continue to have confidence in our short- and long-term
prospects,” Zuccarini concluded. “Our sales pipeline is as robust as it has
ever been, and we believe there remains abundant opportunity in the market
for our model.”
