Exhibit 99.1

InnerWorkings Announces First Quarter 2020 Results
Higher quality revenue drove 110 basis-point increase in gross margin;
SG&A reduced by $3.9 million, with further cost reductions actioned during the second quarter

CHICAGO, IL - June 16, 2020 - InnerWorkings, Inc. (NASDAQ: INWK), the leading global marketing engineering firm, today announced financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2020. For all non-GAAP references below, please refer to the non-GAAP reconciliation tables at the end of this release for more information.

“Our first quarter results demonstrate improved revenue quality and a leaner cost structure, giving us solid footing to navigate a challenging economic environment in the second quarter,” said Chief Executive Officer Rich Stoddart. “We have taken aggressive, swift action since April to right-size our cost structure while maintaining our ability to support our clients as business activity rebounds. We are also maintaining our focus on winning new business, with several new contracts awarded this year and significant demand for our solution in the sales pipeline.”

Financial and Business Highlights

•
Gross revenue was $261.4 million in the first quarter of 2020, a decrease of 2% compared to $267.2 million in the first quarter of 2019. Excluding currency impact, gross revenue decreased 1% in the first quarter of 2020.
•
Gross profit was $63.4 million, or 24.3% of gross revenue in the first quarter of 2020, compared to $62.0 million, or 23.2% of gross revenue, in the same period of last year.
•
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $51.9 million in the first quarter, down 7% compared to $55.8 million in the first quarter of 2019.
•
Net loss for the first quarter of 2020 was $(2.8) million, or $(0.15) per diluted share, compared to net loss of $(2.0) million, or $(0.04) per diluted share in the first quarter of 2019.
•
Adjusted diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2020 was $0.04, compared to $0.03 in the first quarter of 2019.
•
Adjusted EBITDA was $12.9 million in the first quarter of 2020, compared to $7.4 million in the first quarter of 2019.
•
Additional work from new and existing clients awarded so far in 2020 amounts to approximately $32 million of annual revenue at full run-rate.
“The first quarter represents sustainable cost improvement supporting a base of high-quality revenue with the healthiest balance sheet the company has had in two years. We have made significant progress in our multi-year transformation, but there is still work to do to optimize the platform. We will continue to react quickly to changes in economic conditions, but this will not disrupt the groundwork we have been laying for a long future of profitable growth,” said Don Pearson, Chief Financial Officer.

Outlook
Due to continued economic uncertainty and low visibility, the Company is not providing specific financial guidance at this time.
“We are expecting a decline in revenue and profit in the second quarter, but we took immediate action to reduce costs and minimize the impact on our margins. While we feel we’ve taken the right steps to adjust to the current environment, there is still a great deal of uncertainty about how long the general economic downturn will last, the extent of the adverse impact on our clients, and the degree to which those in turn will adversely impact our business. Although the current economic environment is volatile and the timing and pace of recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic is unclear, we are encouraged by our recent conversations with clients, which indicate increasing momentum in planning for a resurgence of marketing activity,” said Rich Stoddart. “We believe we are well-poised for an acceleration of new client wins as marketers become more motivated to seek ways to drive cost savings and efficiencies in response to a difficult economy, and to benefit from the eventual improved marketing spend by our clients. The breadth of our work across verticals and geographies, the stability of our longstanding client relationships, and our multi-year transformation underway give us confidence in our ability to navigate the near-term uncertainty and in the strength of our business long term.”






Conference Call
Rich Stoddart, Chief Executive Officer, and Don Pearson, Chief Financial Officer, will host a conference call to discuss the results today at 4:00 p.m. Central time (5:00 p.m. Eastern time).

The phone number to access the conference call is (877) 771-7024. A live audio webcast of the call will be available through InnerWorkings' website at http://investor.inwk.com/events. A replay of the webcast will be available later today at the same location.
