NSP Insperity Inc

Insperity, Inc. (NYSE: NSP), a leading provider of human resources and business performance solutions for America’s best businesses, today reported first quarter net income of $13.9 million, a 58.0% increase over the $8.8 million earned in the 2011 period. Diluted earnings per share increased 63.6% to $0.54 from $0.33 in the 2011 period.

“These are outstanding results, particularly in light of a weakening labor market and the amount of change involved in implementing our new growth strategy,” said Paul J. Sarvadi, Insperity chairman and chief executive officer. “We are on track with our implementation of fundamental changes that are directed toward accelerating growth in the years ahead.”

Revenues for the first quarter of 2012 increased 11.0% over the 2011 period primarily due to an 8.5% increase in the average number of worksite employees paid per month. Gross profit increased 13.2% to $103.0 million compared to the first quarter of 2011. The average gross profit per worksite employee per month increased $12, or 4.4%, to $282 in the first quarter of 2012 from $270 in the 2011 period. This increase was attributable to effective management within each of the company’s direct cost centers of the Insperity Workforce OptimizationTM solution.

Operating expenses increased 5.4% to $80.0 million compared to $75.8 million in the first quarter of 2011. Operating expenses per worksite employee per month decreased $6, or 2.7%, to $219 in the first quarter of 2012 from $225 in the 2011 period. The year-over-year comparison includes rebranding costs incurred in the first quarter of 2011.

“Our strong first quarter results produced a record level of $29.8 million in EBITDA plus stock-based compensation,” said Douglas S. Sharp, senior vice-president of finance, chief financial officer and treasurer. “Working capital increased to $135.9 million and included cash outlays of $3.9 million in dividends, $3.4 million in capital expenditures and $3.3 million in stock repurchases.”

Insperity will be hosting a conference call today at 10 a.m. ET to discuss these results, give guidance for the second quarter and full year 2012 and answer questions from investment analysts.

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) continued effects of the economic recession and general 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 contracts at expiration of current contracts; (iv) 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; (v) failure to manage growth of our operations and the effectiveness of our sales and marketing efforts; (vi) changes in the competitive environment in the PEO industry, including the entrance of new competitors and our ability to renew or replace client companies; (vii) our liability for worksite employee payroll, payroll taxes and benefits costs; (viii) our liability for disclosure of sensitive or private information; (ix) our ability to integrate or realize expected returns on our Adjacent Business strategy, including acquisitions; and (x) an adverse final judgment or settlement of claims against Insperity. 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.

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation Tables

  Three months ended March 31, 2012 2011 Change   Payroll cost (GAAP) $ 2,636,129 $ 2,352,263 12.1 % Less: Bonus payroll cost   (367,823 )   (304,849 ) 20.7 % Non-bonus payroll cost $ 2,268,306   $ 2,047,414   10.8 %   Payroll cost per worksite employee (GAAP) $ 7,206 $ 6,975 3.3 % Less: Bonus payroll cost per worksite employee   (1,005 )   (904 ) 11.2 % Non-bonus payroll cost per worksite employee $ 6,201   $ 6,071   2.1 %  

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.

                  Three months ended March 31, 2012 2011 Change Net income (GAAP) $ 13,884 $ 8,786 58.0 % Income tax expense 9,450 6,627 42.6 % Depreciation and amortization 4,212 3,948 6.7 % Interest expense   88

EBITDA 27,634 19,361 42.7 % Stock-based compensation   2,155   1,790 20.4 % $ 29,789 $ 21,151 40.8 %  

EBITDA represents net income computed in accordance with GAAP, plus interest expense, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization expense. Insperity management believes EBITDA plus stock-based compensation is often a useful measure of the company’s operating performance, as it allows for additional analysis of the company’s operating results separate from the impact of taxes, stock-based compensation and capital and financing transactions on earnings.

Non-bonus payroll and EBITDA plus stock-based compensation are not financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from similar measures used by other companies. Non-bonus payroll and EBITDA plus stock-based compensation 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 and EBITDA plus stock-based compensation 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.
