Positive
  • Total revenues increased 1% to $1.2 billion
  • Average WSEs (Worksite Employees) grew 7% to 356,000
  • Strong customer retention levels reported for 2024
  • Successfully implemented healthcare fee repricing for largest customer cohort
Negative
  • Net income declined 52% to $45 million from $94 million year-over-year
  • Adjusted EBITDA decreased to $109 million from $172 million year-over-year
  • Higher healthcare costs negatively impacted profitability
  • Q4 guidance indicates potential revenue decline of up to 1%

Insights

The Q3 results reveal concerning trends for TriNet. Net income dropped significantly from $94 million to $45 million, with EPS falling from $1.63 to $0.89 per share. While revenue grew marginally by 1%, profitability metrics deteriorated substantially - Adjusted EBITDA declined from $172 million to $109 million.

The key challenge stems from rising healthcare costs impacting margins. While the company has implemented pricing adjustments starting October 1st for its largest customer cohort, the full effect won't materialize until after January 2024 renewals. The forward guidance suggests continued pressure, with Q4 revenue growth projected between -1% to 2% and professional service revenues expected to decline 5-8%.

The 7% growth in WSEs to 356,000 demonstrates market share gains but hasn't translated to bottom-line improvement given cost pressures. The balance sheet remains solid with $446 million in cash and investments against $1.1 billion in debt.

DUBLIN, Calif., Oct. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- TriNet Group, Inc. (NYSE: TNET), a leading provider of comprehensive human resources solutions for small and medium-size businesses, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024. The third quarter highlights below include non-GAAP financial measures which are reconciled later in this release.

Third quarter highlights include:

  • Total revenues increased 1% to $1.2 billion as compared to the same period last year.
  • Flat professional service revenues of $184 million as compared to the same period last year.
  • Net income was $45 million, or $0.89 per diluted share, compared to net income of $94 million, or $1.63 per diluted share, in the same period last year.
  • Adjusted Net Income was $59 million, or $1.17 per diluted share, compared to Adjusted Net Income of $109 million, or $1.91 per diluted share, in the same period last year.
  • Adjusted EBITDA was $109 million, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $172 million, in the same period last year.
  • Average WSEs increased 7% as compared to the same period last year, to approximately 356,000 and includes approximately 20,000 PEO Platform Users.
  • Average HRIS Users for the period was approximately 183,000.
  • At September 30, 2024, TriNet had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $251 million, unrestricted investments of $195 million and total debt of $1.1 billion.

"Small businesses are navigating a challenging business climate, hiring very carefully, and dealing with healthcare cost inflation steeper than we have seen in several years," said Mike Simonds, TriNet's President and CEO. "TriNet is not immune from these conditions and higher healthcare costs adversely impacted our profitability in the quarter."

Mr. Simonds continued, "Fortunately, our model allows us to quickly take action and align our pricing with healthcare cost trends. We repriced our largest cohort of healthcare fees on October 1, and we experienced strong customer retention. Following our January 1 renewal, we will have priced for the current elevated cost trends across more than two thirds of our PEO business. Our colleagues are extremely engaged, delivering strong service to our customers and record retention levels in 2024 despite the challenging environment. Nearly eight months into this role, I am excited by the opportunity in front of us to grow our business profitably in an increasingly focused, disciplined, and customer-centric fashion."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the selected financial measures presented in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), we monitor other non-GAAP financial measures that we use to manage our business, to make planning decisions, to allocate resources and to use as performance measures in our executive compensation plan. These key financial measures provide an additional view of our operational performance over the long term and provide information that we use to maintain and grow our business.

The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is used to enhance the understanding of certain aspects of our financial performance. It is not meant to be considered in isolation from, superior to, or as a substitute for the directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Non-GAAP Measure

Definition

How We Use The Measure

Adjusted EBITDA

• Net income, excluding the effects of:

- income tax provision,

- interest expense, bank fees and other,

- depreciation,

- amortization of intangible assets,

- stock based compensation expense,

- amortization of cloud computing arrangements, and

- transaction and integration costs.

• Provides period-to-period comparisons on a consistent basis and an understanding as to how our management evaluates the effectiveness of our business strategies by excluding certain non-recurring costs, which include transaction and integration costs, as well as certain non-cash charges such as depreciation and amortization, and stock-based compensation and certain impairment charges recognized based on the estimated fair values. We believe these charges are either not directly resulting from our core operations or not indicative of our ongoing operations.

• Enhances comparisons to the prior period and, accordingly, facilitates the development of future projections and earnings growth prospects.

• Provides a measure, among others, used in the determination of incentive compensation for management.

• We also sometimes refer to Adjusted EBITDA margin, which is the ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to total revenues.

Adjusted Net Income

• Net income, excluding the effects of:

- effective income tax rate (1),

- stock based compensation,

- amortization of intangible assets, net,

- non-cash interest expense,

- transaction and integration costs, and

- the income tax effect (at our effective tax rate (1) of these pre-tax adjustments.

• Provides information to our stockholders and board of directors to understand how our management evaluates our business, to monitor and evaluate our operating results, and analyze profitability of our ongoing operations and trends on a consistent basis by excluding certain non-cash charges.

Corporate Operating Cash Flows

• Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, excluding the effects of:

- Assets associated with WSEs and TriNet Trust (accounts receivable, unbilled revenue, prepaid expenses, other payroll assets and other current assets) and

- Liabilities associated with WSEs and TriNet Trust (client deposits and other client liabilities, accrued wages, payroll tax liabilities and other payroll withholdings, accrued health insurance costs, accrued workers' compensation costs, insurance premiums and other payables, and other current liabilities).

• Provides information that our stockholders and management can use to evaluate our cash flows from operations independent of the current assets and liabilities associated with our WSEs and TriNet Trust.

• Enhances comparisons to prior periods and, accordingly, used as a liquidity measure to manage liquidity between corporate and WSE and TriNet Trust related activities, and to help determine and plan our cash flow and capital strategies.



(1)

Non-GAAP effective tax rate is 25.6% for the third quarters and full years of 2024 and 2023, which excludes the income tax impact from stock-based compensation, changes in uncertain tax positions, and nonrecurring benefits or expenses from federal legislative changes.



(2)

Non-cash interest expense represents amortization and write-off of our debt issuance costs and loss on a terminated derivative.
