Insperity Announces Strong Third Quarter Results

Insperity, Inc. (NYSE: NSP), a leading provider of human resources and business performance solutions for America’s best businesses, today reported results for the third quarter and nine months ended Sept. 30, 2014. For the third quarter, the company reported net income of $8.4 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.33. Adjusted EBITDA totaled $22.6 million for the third quarter.

“We are pleased with our recent financial results and the growth acceleration that has unfolded over the past two quarters,” said Paul J. Sarvadi, Insperity chairman and chief executive officer. “A continuation of these trends, combined with a successful year-end transition, would result in double-digit unit growth in 2015.”

Third Quarter Results

Revenues for the third quarter of 2014 increased 3.8% over the third quarter of 2013 due to a 1.8% increase in the average number of worksite employees paid per month and a 2.0% increase in revenues per worksite employee per month. The average number of paid worksite employees increased 2.6% sequentially over the second quarter of 2014. Gross profit increased 3.5% compared to the third quarter of 2013 to $100.8 million. Benefits costs per covered employee increased 1.3%, less than expected, contributing to an increase in the average gross profit per worksite employee per month, from $251 in the third quarter of 2013 to $255 in the third quarter of 2014. Included in gross profit in the third quarter of 2014 is an $18 per worksite employee per month contribution from our Strategic Business Units, compared to $15 per worksite employee per month in the third quarter of 2013.

Operating expenses increased to our forecasted level of $86.4 million and included $5.7 million in additional costs associated with the development of our Human Capital Management product, health care reform and an additional accrual for incentive compensation based on better than expected operating results. Excluding these items, operating expenses were flat compared to the third quarter of 2013.

Year-to-Date Results

For the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2014, the company reported adjusted net income of $21.4 million and adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.84. These earnings exclude after-tax costs of $1.6 million or $0.06 per share related to a second quarter non-cash impairment charge associated with the reorganization of our Employment Screening business. Reported net income for the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2014 was $19.8 million, or $0.78 per diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA totaled $61.5 million for this same period.

Year-to-date revenues were $1.8 billion, an increase of 3.7% over the 2013 period. Gross profit for the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2014 decreased to $302.4 million. The average gross profit per worksite employee per month decreased 1.9%, to $261 in the 2014 period from $266 in the 2013 period.

Adjusted 2014 year-to-date operating expenses, excluding the impact of the impairment charge, increased to $265.5 million from $253.9 million in the 2013 period. Adjusted year-to-date operating expenses increased by just 1.2% when excluding an additional $8.7 million of costs associated with the development of our Human Capital Management product, health care reform, and the additional accrual for incentive compensation based on better than expected operating results.

“As a result of our focus on operating expense control throughout 2014, we now expect approximately $16 million in cost savings from our initial 2014 forecast,” said Douglas S. Sharp, senior vice-president of finance, chief financial officer and treasurer. “We intend to continue to focus on operating expense control throughout 2015 to align with unit growth and customer mix.”

Cash outlays in the first nine months of 2014 included the repurchase of 693,262 shares of stock at a cost of $20.8 million, dividends totaling $14.0 million and capital expenditures of $11.0 million. Working capital at Sept. 30, 2014 was $119.1 million.

Non-bonus payroll cost represents payroll cost excluding the impact of bonus payrolls paid to the
company’s worksite employees. Bonus payroll cost varies from period to period, but has no
direct impact to the company’s ultimate workers’ compensation costs under the current program.
As a result, Insperity management refers to non-bonus payroll cost in analyzing, reporting and
forecasting the company’s workers’ compensation costs.

EBITDA represents net income computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles (“GAAP”), plus interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization
expense. Insperity management believes EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are often useful
measures of the company’s operating performance, as they allow for additional analysis of the
company’s operating results separate from the impact of taxes and capital and financing
transactions on earnings.

Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted net income per share of common stock represent net income and diluted net income per share computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding the impact of the impairment charge related to Employment Screening reporting unit in 2014 and the impairment charge related to The Receivables Exchange in 2013. Insperity management believes adjusted net income and adjusted diluted net income per share are useful measures of the company’s operating performance in this period, as they allow for additional analysis of the company’s operating results separate from the impact of the impairment.

Non-bonus payroll, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted net income per share of common stock are not financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from similar measures used by other companies. Non-bonus payroll, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted net income per share of common stock should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Insperity includes non-bonus payroll, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted net income per share of common stock in this press release because the company believes they are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency related to the costs incurred under the company’s workers’ compensation program and the company’s operating performance during the periods presented. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as provided in the tables above.
