Insperity Announces First Quarter Results
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 first quarter ended Mar. 31, 2020:
- Q1 revenue increased 7% on worksite employee growth of 5.5%
- Q1 diluted EPS and adjusted EPS of $1.58 and $1.70, respectively
- Q1 net income and adjusted EBITDA of $62 million and $101 million, respectively
First Quarter Results
Revenues increased 7% over the first quarter of 2019 to $1.23 billion on a 5.5% increase in the average number of worksite employees (“WSEEs”) paid per month. This quarter’s growth reflected a higher than expected level of WSEEs paid from new sales coming off of the successful extension of our fall sales campaign, offset by lower growth in our client base.
“We are pleased with our solid first quarter results, but more importantly, our company-wide response to the COVID-19 pandemic in support of our small to medium size business clients. Small businesses, their employees and families have been deeply affected in every stage of this ongoing health and economic crisis. The Insperity mission of helping small businesses has never been more critical. We have and will continue to stand shoulder-to-shoulder helping businesses navigate these challenges and lead the recovery in the months ahead,” said Paul J. Sarvadi, Insperity chief executive officer and chairman. “Our outlook for the challenging year of 2020 reflects the relative strength and resiliency of our client base and our unique position in the marketplace. We will help our clients meet their objectives including taking care of their people and emerging from this crisis stronger than ever.”
Gross profit increased by 3.2% over the first quarter of 2019 to $234.0 million. The year over year comparison was impacted by a favorable benefit cost trend in Q1 of the prior year. However, we effectively managed overall gross profit for Q1 of this year above budgeted levels, as both benefits and workers’ compensation programs were favorable. Large healthcare claim activity continued to decline from the peak level we experienced during the second quarter of 2019 and the underlying claim cost trend was below our expectations. Operating expenses increased 5% over the first quarter of 2019, slightly below budgeted levels, as continued investments in our growth, including a 13% increase in the average number of trained Business Performance Advisors were partially offset by savings in other areas.
For the first quarter 2020, net income and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) of $62 million and $1.58 represented decreases of 19% and 15%, respectively, compared to the first quarter of 2019. Adjusted EPS was $1.70, a 14% decrease from the first quarter of 2019, and included an increase in the effective tax rate from 12% in the first quarter of 2019 to 27% in the first quarter of 2020. Adjusted EBITDA remained consistent with the first quarter of 2019 at $101.3 million.
During the quarter, we repurchased a total of 878,000 shares at a cost of $61 million. We also paid $16 million in cash dividends under our regular dividend program and invested $16 million in capital expenditures.
“We expect our resilient business model to continue to generate strong cash flow in spite of the current economic environment associated with the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Douglas S. Sharp, Insperity senior vice president of finance, chief financial officer and treasurer. “We ended the quarter in a strong financial position with $167 million of adjusted cash and $130 million available under our $500 million credit facility.”

The company also announced its updated guidance for 2020, including the second quarter of 2020. 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.

You can identify such forward-looking statements by the words “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “projects,” “believes,” “estimates,” “likely,” “possibly,” “probably,” “goal,” “opportunity,” “objective,” “target,” “assume,” “outlook,” “guidance,” “predicts,” “appears,” “indicator” and similar expressions. 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:
- 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;
- regulatory and tax developments and possible adverse application of various federal, state and local regulations;
- the ability to secure competitive replacement contracts for health insurance and workers’ compensation insurance at expiration of current contracts;
- cancellation of client contracts on short notice, or the inability to renew client contracts or attract new clients;
- vulnerability to regional economic factors because of our geographic market concentration;
- 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;
- 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;
- our liability for worksite employee payroll, payroll taxes and benefits costs;
- our liability for disclosure of sensitive or private information;
- our ability to integrate or realize expected returns on our acquisitions;
- failure of our information technology systems;
- an adverse final judgment or settlement of claims against Insperity; and
- disruptions to our business resulting from the actions of certain stockholders.
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, and • depreciation and amortization expense. |
|
|
|
|
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. |
