HOUSTON – April 26, 2023 – 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 March 31, 2023. Insperity will be hosting a conference call today at 8:30 a.m. ET to discuss these results and our updated 2023 outlook, and has posted an accompanying presentation to its investor website at http://ir.insperity.com.

•Q1 average number of WSEEs paid and revenues up 10% and 12%, respectively

•Q1 gross profit up 16%

•Q1 net income and diluted EPS of $94.6 million and $2.45, respectively

•Q1 adjusted EPS up 34% to $2.67; Q1 adjusted EBITDA up 29% to $152.4 million

•Return to shareholders of $55 million in Q1 through the repurchase of 289,000 shares at a cost of $35 million and $20 million in cash dividends

Reported net income and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) were $94.6 million and $2.45, respectively. Adjusted EPS increased 34.2% over the first quarter of 2022 to $2.67. Adjusted EBITDA increased 28.5% to $152.4 million.

“We are pleased with our strong Q1 results reported today and our solid execution in the face of a softening economic environment,” said Paul J. Sarvadi, Insperity chairman and chief executive officer. “We expect to continue to capitalize on our market opportunity as we help our best-in-class small-to-medium size clients succeed through today’s challenges with the support of our comprehensive and sophisticated HR solutions.”

The average number of worksite employees (“WSEE”) paid per month increased 10.1% over Q1 2022 to 306,691 WSEEs. Client attrition, which was near our historical lows, and WSEEs paid from new sales came in near budgeted levels. Net hiring by our clients were in line with our expectations and were about 50% less than that experienced during the first quarter of 2022 due primarily to the softer economic environment. Revenues in Q1 2023 increased 12.2% to $1.8 billion on the 10.1% increase in paid WSEEs and a 1.9% increase in revenue per WSEE.

Gross profit increased 16.2% over Q1 2022 to $332.1 million on the 10.1% increase in paid WSEEs and a 5.6% increase in gross profit per WSEE per month. Pricing was strong through our year-end transition, accomplishing a key objective given the current inflationary environment. Additionally, our benefits and workers’ compensation programs were in line with our budget.

Operating expenses increased 12.7% over Q1 2022 on the 16.2% increase in gross profit. Operating costs included continued investment in our growth with an 11.2% increase in the average number of hired Business Performance Advisors, and an increase in the number of service and support personnel given the recent high growth in the number of clients and WSEEs. We also continue to invest in our technology, including our ongoing implementation of SalesForce.

Cash outlays in Q1 2023 included the repurchase of approximately 289,000 shares of our common stock at a cost of $34.6 million, dividends totaling $19.9 million, and capital expenditures of $6.8 million. Adjusted cash at March 31, 2023 totaled $231.4 million and $280 million remains available under our $650 million credit facility.

“Our strong growth and earnings performance in Q1, reflects the strength of our business model, even in a period of inflationary pressures and economic uncertainty,” said Douglas S. Sharp, executive vice president of finance, chief financial officer and treasurer. “This has allowed us to continue to invest in the key initiatives of our Five-Year Plan while providing strong returns to our shareholders through our dividend and share repurchase programs.”

The company also announced its updated guidance for 2023, including the second quarter of 2023. 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.
