Business Wire - finance.yahoo.com Posted 5 years ago

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Insperity, Inc. (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, 2019:

  • Q1 WSEE growth of 15% on strong sales and client retention
  • Q1 net income and EPS up 53% and 57%, to $76 million and $1.85, respectively
  • Q1 adjusted EPS up 40% to $1.98
  • Q1 adjusted EBITDA up 21% to $101 million

First Quarter Results

First quarter 2019 net income and diluted earnings per share of $76.3 million and $1.85 represented increases of 53% and 57%, respectively, compared to the first quarter of 2018. Adjusted EPS was $1.98, a 40% increase over the first quarter of 2018. Adjusted EBITDA increased 21% over the first quarter of 2018 to $101.4 million.

“Our record first quarter results reflect the strength of our business model and continued excellent execution of our strategic plan,” said Paul J. Sarvadi, Insperity chairman and chief executive officer. “These results further demonstrate the sustainability of our rapid growth and profitability experienced over the last several years into 2019.”

Revenues increased 14% over the first quarter of 2018 to $1,153.0 million on a 15% increase in the average number of worksite employees (“WSEEs”) paid per month. The continued double-digit worksite employee growth was the result of the enrollment of new clients coming off a successful 2018 fall sales campaign and a high level of client retention during our heavy first quarter client renewal period. Additionally, we experienced net hiring in our client base during the first quarter of 2019, although at lower levels than experienced during the first quarter of 2018.

Gross profit increased 14% over the first quarter of 2018 to $226.7 million, and included favorable workers’ compensation and benefit cost trends and stronger pricing. Operating expenses increased 5% over the first quarter of 2018, while adjusted operating expenses increased 12% to $141.3 million, and included continued investments in our growth, technology and product and service offerings.

“Worksite employee growth in the mid-teens, combined with effective management of pricing, direct cost programs and operating costs, produced adjusted EBITDA and cash flow at record levels,” said Douglas S. Sharp, senior vice president of finance, chief financial officer and treasurer. “We ended the first quarter with $141 million of adjusted cash, up from $129 million at December 31, 2018, after the repurchase of 230,000 shares at a cost of $29 million and the payment of our regular cash dividend totaling $12 million.”

Forward-Looking Statements

The statements contained herein that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws (Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). 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;
  • 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.

Except to the extent otherwise required by federal securities law, we do not undertake any obligation to update our forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date they are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
