NSP Insperity Inc

Insperity, Inc. (NYSE: NSP), a leading provider of human resources and business performance solutions for America’s best businesses, today reported results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2012. For the second quarter, the company reported net income of $5.6 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.22.

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the company reported net income of $19.5 million, a 25.6% increase over the $15.5 million earned in the 2011 period. Diluted earnings per share were $0.75, an increase of 27.1% over the 2011 period.

“We are pleased with the quarter and the first half of 2012, especially against the backdrop of a slowing economy,” said Paul J. Sarvadi, Insperity chairman and chief executive officer. “We are positioned well to continue our business transformation, including cross-selling current and new product offerings over the balance of the year.”

Second Quarter Results

Revenues for the second quarter of 2012 increased 9.8% over the second quarter of 2011 due to an 8.3% increase in the average number of worksite employees paid per month and a 1.3% increase in revenues per worksite employee per month. Gross profit increased 4.1% over the second quarter of 2011 to $87.3 million. The average gross profit per worksite employee per month decreased $10, or 4.1% to $234, compared to the second quarter of 2011. Gross profit results included better than expected results from workers’ compensation and payroll taxes, including a $2.9 million payroll-related tax credit, offset by an adjustment for higher than expected runoff of health insurance claims incurred in prior quarters.

Operating expenses increased 7.5% to $77.9 million compared to the second quarter of 2011. This increase included costs associated with the Insperity ChampionshipTM professional golf tournament, moved from its historical fourth quarter date to the second quarter. In addition, 2012 included higher salaries and wages due in part to our adjacent businesses, partially offset by the non-recurrence of expenses related to our 2011 rebranding initiative. Operating expenses per worksite employee per month decreased 0.9% to $209 in the 2012 quarter compared to $211 in the 2011 quarter.

Year-to-Date Results

Year-to-date revenues were $1.1 billion, an increase of 10.4% over the 2011 period. Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2012, increased 8.9% to $190.3 million. The average gross profit per worksite employee per month increased $1, or 0.4%, to $258 in the 2012 period from $257 in the 2011 period.

Year-to-date operating expenses increased 6.5% over the first six months of 2011 to $157.8 million. This increase was primarily due to costs associated with the Insperity ChampionshipTM professional golf tournament, which was moved into the first half of the year; higher salaries and wages due in part to our adjacent businesses; partially offset by the non-recurrence of expenses related to our 2011 rebranding initiative. On a per worksite employee per month basis, operating expenses decreased 1.8% to $214 in the 2012 period from $218 in the 2011 period.

EBITDA plus stock-based compensation increased 19.8% to $46.7 million compared to the first six months of 2011. In addition, the company received a $2.5 million scheduled reimbursement from its workers’ compensation program during the second quarter. Cash outlays included dividends of $8.3 million, capital expenditures of $8.3 million and the repurchase of 433,011 shares at a cost of $11.7 million. Working capital at June 30, 2012, was $133.5 million, an increase of $6.9 million over December 31, 2011.

“Our continued strong cash flow allowed us to recently increase our dividend rate and repurchase shares while continuing to invest in our long-term growth objectives,” said Douglas S. Sharp, senior vice-president of finance, chief financial officer and treasurer.

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.

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 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 and capital and financing transactions on earnings.

Non-bonus payroll and EBITDA 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 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 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.
