HOUSTON – August 1, 2022 – 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 June 30, 2022. Insperity will be hosting a conference call today at 5:00 p.m. ET to discuss these results and our updated 2022 outlook, and has posted an accompanying presentation to its investor website at http://ir.insperity.com.

•Q2 average number of WSEEs paid and revenues up 19% and 21%, respectively

•Q2 net income and diluted EPS of $33.6 million and $0.87, respectively

•Q2 adjusted EBITDA up 25% to $75.0 million

•Q2 adjusted EPS up 27% to $1.16

For the second quarter of 2022, reported net income and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) were $33.6 million and $0.87, respectively. Adjusted EPS increased 27.5% compared to the second quarter of 2021 to $1.16. Adjusted EBITDA increased 24.6% over the second quarter of 2021 to $75.0 million.

The average number of worksite employees (“WSEEs”) paid per month increased 19.4% over Q2 2021 to 290,507 WSEEs. WSEEs paid from new client sales and the net gain (loss) in our client base improved over Q2 2021. Client retention remained strong, averaging 99% per month for the quarter and our clients continued to experience robust hiring through Q2 in spite of the tight labor market. Revenues in Q2 2022 increased 20.8% to $1.4 billion on the 19.4% increase in paid WSEEs and a 1.2% increase in revenue per WSEE.

“Our impressive 19% growth in paid worksite employees over the first half of 2021 reflects strong demand for our services, combined with excellent sales and service execution and has led to achieving a milestone of over 300,000 paid worksite employees as we begin Q3,” said Paul J. Sarvadi, Insperity chief executive officer and chairman. “These results represent a very strong start to our recently adopted five-year plan for growth, profitability, and exceptional shareholder returns. We believe that Insperity is well positioned to support the small and medium size business community through whatever economic conditions are experienced in the years ahead.”

Gross profit increased 20.2% over Q2 2021 to $239.9 million on the 19.4% increase in paid WSEEs, combined with higher-than-expected contributions from each of our direct cost programs and our traditional employment offering. COVID related costs and overall utilization of our health plan fell below forecasted levels. Workers’ compensation costs also declined on effective claims management, and to a lesser extent, on the favorable impact of higher interest rates. As expected, payroll taxes increased on higher payroll volume and the non-recurrence of the Q2 2021 collection of $11.3 million in federal payroll tax refunds related to prior years.

Operating expenses increased 16.5% over Q2 2021 and included continued investment in our personnel given our high growth and a focus on hiring and retention in the current tight labor market. Other operating spend included continued investment in marketing initiatives and technology. Travel and event costs also increased over the prior year’s period which was more restrictive under the pandemic conditions. Operating expense per WSEE per month decreased from $225 in Q2 2021 to $220 in Q2 2022 demonstrating overall operating leverage while further investing in the growth of the business.

Revenues for the first six months of 2022 increased 21.8% to $3.0 billion on a 19.5% increase in paid worksite employees and a 1.9% increase in revenue per WSEE. Gross profit for the first six months of 2022 increased 16.6% to $525.6 million. Operating expenses increased 14.1% to $378.9 million compared to the 2021 period.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, reported net income and diluted EPS were $103.5 million and $2.68, respectively. Adjusted EPS increased 15.8% compared to the first six months of 2021 to $3.15. Adjusted EBITDA increased 17.7% compared to the first six months of 2021 to $193.6 million.

Net income per WSEE per month was $61 in both periods. Adjusted EBITDA per WSEE per month was $113 in the 2022 period compared to $115 in the 2021 period.

Gross profit and earnings comparisons are impacted by the non-recurrence of $16.8 million in federal payroll tax refunds received in 2021 related to prior years.

Cash outlays in the first six months of 2022 included the repurchase of approximately 616,000 shares of stock at a cost of $56.8 million, dividends totaling $37.1 million and capital expenditures of $9.0 million. Adjusted cash totaled $167 million at June 30, 2022 and $280 million is available under our recently expanded $650 million credit facility.

“We have raised our earnings outlook coming off of our outperformance over the first half of the year and continued growth momentum driving our positive outlook,” said Douglas S. Sharp, Insperity executive vice president of finance, chief financial officer and treasurer. “We continue to closely monitor the impact of the pandemic, the tight labor market and the possibility of an economic slowdown on our business. At this point, our key internal client metrics remain strong.”

The company also announced its updated guidance for 2022, including the third quarter of 2022. 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.
