InnerWorkings, Inc. provides print procurement solutions to corporate clients in the United States. The Company utilizes its proprietary software applications and database to create solutions that store, analyze, and track the production capabilities of its supplier networks, as well as quote and price data for bids and print jobs.

The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company’s business, operational and compliance policies. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) InnerWorkings’ financial statements for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015 as well as all interim periods contained errors that required restating; and (ii) as a result, InnerWorkings’ public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

On May 7, 2018, post-market, InnerWorkings “announced that it is postponing the release of its first quarter 2018 financial results and conference call due to errors in its historical financial statements identified during the course of its first quarter financial reporting close process.”  InnerWorkings advised investors that it “will be restating its financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, and all interim periods within those years.”  On its preliminary assessment, InnerWorkings estimated an aggregate impact that includes a decrease in income before income taxes of $2.5 - $4.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, and a decrease in income before income taxes of $1.5 - $2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. 

On this news, InnerWorkings’ share price fell $0.62, or 6.4%, to close at $9.06 on May 8, 2018.
