Insperity Announces First Quarter Results
HOUSTON – May 1, 2017 – Insperity, Inc. (NYSE: NSP), a leading provider of human resources and business performance solutions for America’s best businesses, today reported results for the first quarter ended Mar. 31, 2017:
• | Q1 worksite employee growth of 10% |
• | Q1 EPS up 10% to $1.69 |
• | Adjusted EPS up 13% to a record high of $1.84 |
First Quarter Results
First quarter 2017 net income and diluted earnings per share of $35.6 million and $1.69 represented increases of 9% and 10%, respectively, compared to the first quarter of 2016. Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $1.84, a 13% increase over the first quarter of 2016. Adjusted EBITDA increased 2% over the first quarter of 2016 to $62.7 million.
“We are pleased with our first quarter results and the solid execution driving our successful year-end transition,” said Paul J. Sarvadi, Insperity chairman and chief executive officer. “This strong start to the year, combined with a 13% increase in the number of trained Business Performance Advisors, sets the stage for another record setting year in 2017.”
Revenues for the first quarter of 2017 increased 10% over the first quarter of 2016 on a 10% increase in the average number of worksite employees paid per month. The worksite employee growth was the result of strong new client sales, combined with a continuing high level of client retention. For the third consecutive year, client attrition was below our previous historical first quarter levels of 10% to 12%. Net hiring of worksite employees by our clients during the quarter continued to show weakness as net hiring was 30% lower than the first quarter of 2016.
Gross profit increased 6% over the first quarter of 2016 to $159.3 million, as higher than expected benefit costs were partially offset by favorable results in our payroll tax and workers’ compensation areas. Operating expenses increased 9.2% over the first quarter of 2016, and included planned investments in our growth and technology combined with operating leverage in other areas of our business. Operating expense per worksite employee per month declined from $204 in the first quarter of 2016 to $202 in the 2017 period. The first quarter 2017 effective income tax rate was 33% and was positively impacted by income tax benefits associated with the vesting of restricted stock awards.
Cash outlays in the first three months of 2017 included the repurchase of 114,568 shares of stock at a cost of $9.3 million, dividends totaling $5.3 million and capital expenditures of $11.6 million.
“With continued high levels of cash flow generation, we remain positioned to invest in our growth while providing exceptional shareholder return,” said Douglas S. Sharp, senior vice president of finance, chief financial officer and treasurer. “As announced this morning, we have increased our quarterly dividend by 20% from $0.25 to $0.30 and continue to execute on our share repurchase plan.”

The statements contained herein that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws (Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). You can identify such forward-looking statements by the words “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “projects,” “believes,” “estimates,” “likely,” “possibly,” “probably,” “goal,” “opportunity,” “objective,” “target,” “assume,” “outlook,” “guidance,” “predicts,” “appears,” “indicator” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties. In the normal course of business, Insperity, Inc., in an effort to help keep our stockholders and the public informed about our operations, may from time to time issue such forward-looking statements, either orally or in writing. Generally, these statements relate to business plans or strategies, projected or anticipated benefits or other consequences of such plans or strategies, or projections involving anticipated revenues, earnings, unit growth, profit per worksite employee, pricing, operating expenses or other aspects of operating results. We base the forward-looking statements on our expectations, estimates and projections at the time such statements are made. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties that we cannot predict. In addition, we have based many of these forward-looking statements on assumptions about future events that may prove to be inaccurate. Therefore, the actual results of the future events described in such forward-looking statements could differ materially from those stated in such forward-looking statements. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are: (i) adverse economic conditions; (ii) regulatory and tax developments and possible adverse application of various federal, state and local regulations; (iii) the ability to secure competitive replacement contracts for health insurance and workers’ compensation insurance at expiration of current contracts; (iv) cancellation of client contracts on short notice, or the inability to renew client contracts or attract new clients; (v) vulnerability to regional economic factors because of our geographic market concentration; (vi) increases in health insurance costs and workers’ compensation rates and underlying claims trends, health care reform, financial solvency of workers’ compensation carriers, other insurers or financial institutions, state unemployment tax rates, liabilities for employee and client actions or payroll-related claims; (vii) failure to manage growth of our operations and the effectiveness of our sales and marketing efforts; (viii) the impact of the competitive environment in the PEO industry on our growth and/or profitability; (ix) our liability for worksite employee payroll, payroll taxes and benefits costs; (x) our liability for disclosure of sensitive or private information; (xi) our ability to integrate or realize expected returns on our acquisitions; (xii) failure of our information technology systems; (xiii) an adverse final judgment or settlement of claims against Insperity; and (xiv) disruptions to our business resulting from the actions of certain stockholders. These factors are discussed in further detail in Insperity’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Any of these factors, or a combination of such factors, could materially affect the results of our operations and whether forward-looking statements we make ultimately prove to be accurate.
Except to the extent otherwise required by federal securities law, we do not undertake any obligation to update our forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date they are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

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.

Adjusted cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities excludes funds associated with federal and state income tax withholdings, employment taxes and other payroll deductions, as well as client prepayments. Insperity management believes adjusted cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities is a useful measure of the company’s available funds.

EBITDA represents net income computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), plus interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA plus non-cash impairment and other charges, costs associated with stockholder advisory expenses and stock-based compensation. 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 these items.

Non-bonus payroll cost, adjusted cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, 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 cost, adjusted cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, 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.
