Insperity Announces Second Quarter Results

July 29, 2019 7:00 AM

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- 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 ended Jun. 30, 2019:

Second Quarter Results

Second quarter 2019 net income and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) of $28.6 million and $0.69 represented increases of 16% and 19%, respectively, compared to the second quarter of 2018. Adjusted EPS was $0.83, a 22% increase over the second quarter of 2018. Adjusted EBITDA increased 22% over the second quarter of 2018 to $56.7 million.

Revenues increased 13% over the second quarter of 2018 to $1.04 billion on a 14% increase in the average number of worksite employees (“WSEEs”) paid per month. The continued double-digit WSEE growth resulted from new client sales driven by an 11% increase in the average number of Business Performance Advisors. Additionally, client retention averaged just above 99%, near our historical high level. Net gains in our client base were lower than expected, particularly during the last month of the quarter, due primarily to less hiring of full-time and seasonal employees.

“We are pleased with our solid sales and client retention in Q2 delivering 14% worksite employee growth in spite of lower than expected hiring in our client base,” said Paul J. Sarvadi, Insperity chief executive officer and chairman. “We expect to continue our office expansion plan and increase the number of Business Performance Advisors over the balance of the year to continue double digit growth into 2020.”

Gross profit increased 12% over the second quarter of 2018 to $173.7 million, and included higher than expected benefits costs, driven by large claim activity. This was partially offset by favorable claims development in our workers’ compensation program and slightly higher pricing. Operating expenses increased 12% over the second quarter of 2018, and included continued investments in our growth, including costs associated with an increase in the number of Business Performance Advisors and the opening of eight new sales offices over the past four quarters. We have also continued to invest in our technology and product and service offerings.

Year-to-Date Results

For the six months ended Jun. 30, 2019, net income increased 41% over the first six months of 2018 to $104.8 million, and diluted EPS increased 44% to $2.54. Adjusted EPS increased 34% over the first six months of 2018 to $2.81. Adjusted EBITDA increased 21% to $158.1 million.

Revenues for the first six months of 2019 increased 13% to $2.2 billion, on a 14% increase in the average number of WSEEs paid per month over the 2018 period. Gross profit for the first six months of 2019 increased 13% to $400.5 million. Operating expenses increased 8% to $276.3 million over the 2018 period and adjusted operating expenses increased 12% over the 2018 period.

Net income per WSEE per month increased 23% from $62 in the 2018 period to $76 in the 2019 period. Adjusted EBITDA per WSEE per month increased 6% from $109 in the 2018 period to $115 in the 2019 period.

Cash outlays in the first six months of 2019 included the repurchase of approximately 315,000 shares of stock at a cost of $38.8 million, dividends totaling $24.7 million and capital expenditures of $17.2 million. Adjusted cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at Jun. 30, 2019 were $130.7 million.

“Our earnings outlook for 2019 is in line with our previous forecast as we come off a strong performance in the first half of the year and effectively manage our business in response to emerging trends,” said Douglas S. Sharp, Insperity senior vice president of finance, chief financial officer and treasurer. “We expect to continue to generate over 20% growth in adjusted EPS, as we effectively execute our long-term strategic plan.”

The company also announced its updated guidance for 2019, including the third quarter of 2019. Please refer to the accompanying financial tables at the end of this press release for the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures.

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 period, 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 operating expense

Represents operating expenses excluding the impact of the following:

• costs associated with a one-time tax reform bonus paid to corporate employees.

EBITDA

Represents net income computed in accordance with GAAP, plus:

• interest expense,

• income tax expense, and

• depreciation and amortization expense.

Adjusted EBITDA

Represents EBITDA plus:

• non-cash stock based compensation, and

• costs associated with a one-time tax reform bonus paid to corporate employees.

Adjusted Net Income

Represents net income computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding:

• non-cash stock based compensation, and

• costs associated with a one-time tax reform bonus paid to corporate employees.

Adjusted EPS

Represents diluted net income per share computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding:

• non-cash stock based compensation, and

• costs associated with a one-time tax reform bonus paid to corporate employees.
