Insights

Insperity's Q3 results reveal concerning trends with 2% decline in worksite employees and significantly compressed margins. Q3 net income dropped to just $3 million ($0.07 EPS), while operating expenses surged 15%, largely due to Workday partnership implementation costs. The 11% decrease in gross profit signals pressure on core operations.

The guidance for Q4 2024 projects continued weakness with an expected 1-2% decline in WSEEs and adjusted EPS ranging from -$0.10 to $0.12, representing a dramatic year-over-year decrease of 84-113%. While the company maintains strong cash position of $212 million, the declining operational metrics and rising costs pose significant challenges for near-term performance.

The small-to-medium business market uncertainty is materially impacting Insperity's growth trajectory. The loss of several midmarket accounts and continued weak hiring trends among existing clients suggest broader economic pressures affecting the HR solutions sector. While the company's strategic Workday partnership and AI initiatives could provide future growth catalysts, the immediate outlook remains challenging with forecasted declines in key metrics.

The company's pricing strategy and benefits cost management will be important factors to watch, as the full-year cost trend is expected at 4.5-6%. The significant return to shareholders ($119 million in buybacks and dividends) might need reassessment given the operational headwinds and increasing strategic investment requirements.

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 third quarter ended September 30, 2024. Insperity will be hosting a conference call today at 8:30 a.m. ET to discuss these results and our updated 2024 outlook and will be posting an accompanying presentation to its investor website at http://ir.insperity.com.

  • Q3 average number of WSEEs paid within our expected range, down 2% year-over-year
  • Q3 net income of $3 million; diluted EPS of $0.07
  • Q3 adjusted EPS of $0.39; adjusted EBITDA of $39 million
  • YTD average number of paid WSEEs down 1%, while revenues up 1%
  • YTD net income and diluted EPS of $100 million and $2.63, respectively
  • YTD adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS of $247 million and $3.53, respectively
  • Return to shareholders of $119 million during the first nine months of 2024 through the repurchase of 551,000 shares at a cost of $52 million and $67 million in cash dividends

Third Quarter Results

As forecasted, the average number of worksite employees (“WSEE”) paid per month decreased 2% from Q3 2023 to 309,088 WSEEs. The continued softness in hiring by our client base and the loss of several midmarket accounts at the beginning of the year contributed to this year over year decline. Revenues in Q3 2024 increased 1% to $1.6 billion on a 3% increase in revenue per WSEE on higher pricing, offset by the 2% decrease in paid WSEEs.

“We are pleased with our Q3 financial results, especially with a measurable headwind of uncertainty in the small to medium sized business marketplace,” said Paul J. Sarvadi, Insperity chairman and chief executive officer. “We are focused on a successful fall selling and retention season to achieve a solid starting point in 2025. We see an opportunity for growth acceleration next year with sales and service improvements as we leverage our data infrastructure with AI and our Workday strategic partnership.”

An 11% decrease in gross profit from Q3 2023 to $229 million included a difficult comparison to the prior year’s quarter that was positively impacted by favorable development of healthcare claims activity. Q3 2024 benefits costs were slightly above expectations, while other areas of gross profit, including pricing, payroll taxes and workers’ compensation, were generally in line.

“Our guidance includes a continued higher cost trend in Q4 compared to the favorable cost trend in the first half of 2024. We continue to expect the full year cost trend to be at the low end of our initial budgeted range of 4.5% to 6%,” said James D. Allison, Insperity executive vice president. “We have maintained our long-term pricing strategy and believe we are well positioned relative to our goal of matching price and cost going forward.”

Operating expenses increased 15% over Q3 2023, with the majority of the increase associated with the implementation of our Workday strategic partnership. We managed other expenses, including various G&A costs, below forecast.

Reported net income and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) were $3 million and $0.07, respectively. Adjusted EPS and adjusted EBITDA were $0.39 and $39 million, respectively.

Third quarter’s effective tax rate was positively impacted by research and development credits and contributed $0.02 per share in earnings above our Q3 2024 forecast. We continue to forecast a full year 2024 effective tax rate of 28%.

Year-to-Date Results

The average number of WSEEs paid per month decreased 1% from 2023 to 306,650 WSEEs. Revenues increased by 1% to $5.0 billion on a 3% increase in revenue per WSEE, offset in part by the 1% decrease in paid WSEEs.

“Our year-to-date earnings have exceeded our initial budget as pricing, effective management of our direct cost areas and operating expense savings have more than offset lower paid worksite employees,” said Douglas S. Sharp, executive vice president of finance, chief financial officer and treasurer. “Our recent results have allowed us to continue to invest in our strategic objectives, which we believe positions us for long-term growth.”

Gross profit increased 2% on a 4% increase in gross profit per WSEE per month, primarily due to increased pricing and more favorable results from our benefits costs program.

Operating expenses increased 13% over the 2023 period. This increase included approximately $40 million associated with the implementation of our Workday strategic partnership. Operating expenses have also included ongoing investments in our sales, service and technology areas, and the impact of the recent inflationary environment.

Reported net income and diluted EPS were $100 million and $2.63, respectively. Adjusted EPS and adjusted EBITDA were $3.53 and $247 million, respectively.

Cash outlays in the first nine months of 2024 included the repurchase of approximately 551,000 shares of our common stock at a cost of $52 million, dividends totaling $67 million, and capital expenditures of $25 million. Adjusted cash at September 30, 2024 totaled $212 million and $280 million remains available under our $650 million credit facility.

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,

• depreciation and amortization expense, and

• amortization of SaaS implementation costs.

 

 

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.
