Second Quarter Results

“We are pleased that our second quarter results reflect meaningful progress on our top 2026 priority of margin recovery, with worksite employee growth and profitability metrics meeting or exceeding our forecasted ranges,” said Paul J. Sarvadi, Insperity chairman and chief executive officer. “Over the balance of the year our goal is to lay the foundation to regain growth momentum through our refined sales motion, HRScale progress and AI initiatives.”

The average number of worksite employees (“WSEE”) paid per month decreased 1% from Q2 2025 to 305,764 WSEEs. Revenues in Q2 2026 increased 2% to $1.7 billion on a 3% increase in revenue per WSEE on higher pricing, partially offset by the decrease in paid WSEEs.

Gross profit decreased 3% to $217 million in Q2 2026 and gross profit per WSEE decreased 1% to $237. Our benefits costs per covered employee increased 5% over Q2 2025.

Operating expenses decreased 8% to $211 million in Q2 2026 over Q2 2025. Operating expenses included $8 million in Q2 2026 and $14 million in Q2 2025 related to our Workday strategic partnership.

Reported net income increased 180% to $4 million and diluted EPS increased 171% to $0.10. Adjusted EBITDA increased 13% to $36 million and adjusted EPS increased 31% to $0.34.

“All three components of our margin recovery plan contributed to our second quarter results, including our pricing and client retention strategy, benefit plan and policy changes, and operating expense management,” said James D. Allison, executive vice president of finance, chief financial officer and treasurer. “As we continue to execute this plan over the remainder of the year, the cumulative impact of these efforts is expected to produce a significant profit recovery in 2026 and provide a solid foundation heading into 2027.”

Year-to-Date Results

The average number of WSEEs paid per month decreased 1% from 2025 to 304,407 WSEEs. Revenues increased by 2% to $3.6 billion on a 3% increase in revenue per WSEE and the decrease in paid WSEEs.

Gross profit decreased 3% to $519 million and gross profit per WSEE decreased 2% to $284. Our benefits costs per covered employee increased 5% over YTD 2025, partially offset by increased pricing.

Operating expenses declined 4% to $451 million as compared to the 2025 period. Operating expenses included $16 million for our Workday strategic partnership in 2026.

Reported net income and diluted EPS both decreased by 20% to $37 million and $0.97, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA increased 4% to $139 million and adjusted EPS declined 10% to $1.64.

Cash outlays in the first six months of 2026 included the repurchase of approximately 172,000 shares of our common stock at a cost of $4 million, dividends totaling $46 million, and capital expenditures of $13 million. Adjusted cash at June 30, 2026 totaled $95 million. During the second quarter, we borrowed $50 million for working capital purposes resulting in outstanding borrowings of $420 million under our credit facility at June 30, 2026.
