"The investments we are making to win large global print management contracts and gain share in the middle market are driving the innovation curve in our industry."

Additional first quarter 2012 financial and operational highlights include the following:

"We continued to execute effectively against our goals, generating strong operational and financial results," said Joseph M. Busky, chief financial officer of InnerWorkings.
