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 ended
September 30, 2023. Insperity will be hosting a conference call
today at 8:30 a.m. ET to discuss these results and our updated 2023
outlook and has posted an accompanying presentation to its investor
website at http://ir.insperity.com.
- Q3 average number of WSEEs paid and revenues up 4% and 8%,
respectively
- Q3 net income and diluted EPS up 18% to $44.3 million and
$1.16, respectively
- Q3 adjusted EBITDA up 18% to $94.3 million; adjusted EPS up 19%
to $1.46
- YTD average number of paid WSEEs and revenues up 7% and 10%,
respectively
- YTD net income and diluted EPS up 8% to $151.8 million and
$3.94, respectively
- YTD adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS up 9% to $297.6 million
and $4.76, respectively
- Return to shareholders of $194.4 million in YTD period through
the repurchase of 1,259,000 shares at a cost of $131.4 million and
$63.0 million in cash dividends
Third Quarter Results
The average number of worksite employees (“WSEE”) paid per month
increased 4.0% over Q3 2022 to 315,340 WSEEs. Revenues in Q3 2023
increased 7.8% to $1.6 billion on the 4.0% increase in paid WSEEs
and a 3.7% increase in revenue per WSEE. Sales and client retention
over the course of the year have continued to drive the growth in
paid WSEEs, despite the continued slowdown in hiring by our client
base. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net hiring by
our client base was approximately 35% of 2022’s level.
“We are pleased with the strong rebound reflected in our third
quarter financial performance and the ongoing solid execution of
our operating plan year-to-date,” said Paul J. Sarvadi, Insperity
chairman and chief executive officer. “Despite economic challenges
facing many small to medium size businesses, we believe Insperity
is well positioned to capitalize on the continuing strong demand
for comprehensive human resource services in the marketplace.”
Gross profit increased 5.5% over Q3 2022 to $257.9 million on
the 4.0% increase in paid WSEEs and a 1.5% increase in gross profit
per WSEE per month. Benefits costs were significantly lower than
forecast, as the severity of large healthcare claim activity that
we experienced in Q2 2023 returned to more normal levels in Q3.
Additionally, other areas of gross profit, including pricing,
workers’ compensation and payroll taxes combined to a favorable
outcome when compared to our expectations.
Operating expenses increased 3.4% over Q3 2022 and included
continued investment in our growth, with a 13% increase in the
average number of hired Business Performance Advisors, and in our
technology and service offerings. Costs associated with these
investments were partially offset by a lower incentive compensation
accrual and a shift in timing of the quarterly marketing spend when
compared to Q3 2022.
Net income and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) were $44.3
million and $1.16, respectively. Adjusted EPS increased 18.7% from
the third quarter of 2022 to $1.46. Adjusted EBITDA increased 18.2%
to $94.3 million.
Year-to-Date Results
The average number of WSEEs paid per month increased 7.0% over
2022 to 311,112 WSEEs. Revenues in 2023 increased by 10.3% to $4.9
billion on the 7.0% increase in paid WSEEs and a 3.1% increase in
revenue per WSEE.
Gross profit increased 5.8% on the increase in paid WSEEs, but
decreased 1.0% on a per WSEE per month basis, due primarily to the
higher healthcare costs incurred during the second quarter of
2023.
Operating expenses increased 8.3% over the 2022 period. This
increase included the impact of inflation on our costs in areas
such as corporate salaries and wages, technology costs and travel
and training costs. In addition to the increase in hired Business
Performance Advisors, we increased the number of service and
support personnel with the growth in the number of clients and
WSEEs over the past couple of years.
Reported net income and diluted EPS were $151.8 million and
$3.94, respectively. Adjusted EPS increased 8.7% over 2022 to
$4.76. Adjusted EBITDA increased 8.9% to $297.6 million.
Cash outlays in the first nine months 2023 included the
repurchase of approximately 1,259,000 shares of our common stock at
a cost of $131.4 million, dividends totaling $63.0 million, and
capital expenditures of $22.5 million. Adjusted cash at September
30, 2023 totaled $189.6 million and $280 million remains available
under our $650 million credit facility.
“During the third quarter, we took the opportunity to be more
aggressive in our share repurchase program repurchasing 873,000
shares at a cost of $86 million,” said Douglas S. Sharp, executive
vice president of finance, chief financial officer and treasurer.
“We continue to focus on providing strong returns to our
shareholders through our dividend and share repurchase programs
while maintaining a solid financial position.”

and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements involve a
number of risks and uncertainties. In the normal course of
business, in an effort to help keep our stockholders and the public
informed about our operations, from time to time, we may issue such
forward-looking statements, either orally or in writing. Generally,
these statements relate to business plans or strategies; projected

earnings, average number of worksite employees, benefits and
workers’ compensation costs, or other operating results. We base
these forward-looking statements on our current expectations,
estimates and projections. We caution you that these statements are
not guarantees of future performance and involve risks,
uncertainties and assumptions 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:
- adverse economic conditions;
- impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, or other future pandemics,
including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic;
government responses; regulatory developments; and the related
disruptions and economic impact to our business and the small and
medium-sized businesses that we serve;
- labor shortages and increasing competition for highly skilled
workers;
- vulnerability to regional economic factors because of our
geographic market concentration;
- failure to comply with covenants under our credit
facility;
- our liability for WSEE payroll, payroll taxes and benefits
costs, or other liabilities associated with actions of our client
companies or WSEEs, including if our clients fail to pay us;
- bank failures or other events affecting financial
institutions;
- 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;
- an adverse determination regarding our status as the employer
of our WSEEs for tax and benefit purposes and an inability to offer
alternative benefit plans following such a determination;
- cancellation of client contracts on short notice, or the
inability to renew client contracts or attract new clients;
- the ability to secure competitive replacement contracts for
health insurance and workers’ compensation insurance at expiration
of current contracts;
- regulatory and tax developments and possible adverse
application of various federal, state and local regulations;
- failure to manage growth of our operations and the
effectiveness of our sales and marketing efforts;
- the impact of the competitive environment and other
developments in the human resources services industry, including
the PEO industry, on our growth and/or profitability;
- an adverse final judgment or settlement of claims against
Insperity;
- disruptions of our information technology systems or failure to
enhance our service and technology offerings to address new
regulations or client expectations;
- our liability or damage to our reputation relating to
disclosure of sensitive or private information as a result of data
theft, cyberattacks or security vulnerabilities;
- failure of third-party providers, such as financial
institutions, data centers or cloud service providers; and
- our ability to integrate or realize expected returns on future
product offerings, including through acquisition and
investment.
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.
Any forward-looking statements are made only as of the date
hereof and, unless otherwise required by applicable securities
laws, we undertake no obligation to update or revise any
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Unaudited)
Non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with
GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by
other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be
considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of
financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors
are encouraged to review the reconciliation of the non-GAAP
financial measures used to their most directly comparable GAAP
financial measures as provided in the tables below.
Non-GAAP Measure
Definition
Benefit of Non-GAAP Measure
Non-bonus payroll cost
Non-bonus payroll cost is a non-GAAP
financial measure that excludes the impact of bonus payrolls paid
to our WSEEs.
Bonus payroll cost varies from period to
period, but has no direct impact to our ultimate workers’
compensation costs under the current program.
Our management refers to non-bonus payroll
cost in analyzing, reporting and forecasting our workers’
compensation costs.
We include these non-GAAP financial
measures because we believe they are useful to investors in
allowing for greater transparency related to the costs incurred
under our current workers’ compensation program.
Adjusted cash, cash equivalents and
marketable securities
Excludes funds associated with:
• federal and state income tax
withholdings,
• employment taxes,
• other payroll deductions, and
• client prepayments.
We believe that the exclusion of the
identified items helps us reflect the fundamentals of our
underlying business model and analyze results against our
expectations, against prior periods, and to plan for future periods
by focusing on our underlying operations. We believe that the
adjusted results provide relevant and useful information for
investors because they allow investors to view performance in a
manner similar to the method used by management and improves their
ability to understand and assess our operating performance.
Adjusted EBITDA is used by our lenders to assess our leverage and
ability to make interest payments.
EBITDA
Represents net income computed in
accordance with GAAP, plus:
• interest expense,
• income tax expense,
• depreciation and amortization expense,
and
• amortization of SaaS implementation
costs.
Adjusted EBITDA
Represents EBITDA plus:
• non-cash stock based compensation.
Adjusted net income
Represents net income computed in
accordance with GAAP, excluding:
• non-cash stock-based compensation.
Adjusted EPS
Represents diluted net income per share
computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding:
• non-cash stock based-compensation.

non-bonus payroll costs (non-GAAP):
