SAN LEANDRO, Calif. May 5, 2014 TriNet Group, Inc. (NYSE: TNET), a leading provider of a comprehensive human resources solution for small to medium-sized businesses, today announced financial results for the first quarter of 2014:

·

Total revenues increased 45% to $508.9 million and Net Service Revenues increased 31% to $127.8 million.  

·

Total Worksite Employees (WSEs) at March 31, 2014 increased 30% from March 31, 2013, to approximately 242,000, including approximately 13,000 acquired from Ambrose.  Organic growth was 22%.

·

Net income for the first quarter was $1.5 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared to net income of $10.5 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, in the same period last year.

·

Adjusted Net Income for the first quarter was $17.6 million, or $0.24 per diluted share on a pro forma basis, compared to Adjusted Net Income of $18.2 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, in the same period last year.

·

Adjusted EBITDA was $44.3 million, a 23% increase from $36.1 million for the first quarter of last year.

“Our strong first quarter results demonstrate the success of our differentiated strategy for growth, centered on our bundled suite of HR products, multiple offerings tailored to customer needs, and our vertical go-to-market strategy executed by our growing salesforce,” said Burton M. Goldfield, TriNet’s President and CEO.  “We delivered growth across all of the key metrics used to measure our progress, including revenues, total customers and total worksite employees enrolled in our programs.  Our healthy cash flow generation reflects our profitable, capital-light business model.  Looking ahead, we believe we have a significant opportunity to grow our client base as we continue to focus on providing a superior solution that addresses the increasingly complex human resources needs of small and medium-sized businesses nationwide.”

 

Results for the first quarter of 2014 reflect the 30% growth in WSEs as TriNet continued to leverage its growing salesforce to increase penetration of targeted customer verticals.  TriNet’s total revenues increased 45% to $508.9 million, while Net Service Revenues increased 31% to $127.8 million in the first quarter of 2014.  Net Service Revenues are comprised of professional services revenues of $82.9 million and Net Insurance Service Revenues of $44.9 million.  Net Insurance Service Revenues consist of insurance service revenues of $426.0 million, less insurance costs of $381.2 million.  Professional service revenues increased 40% and Net Insurance Service Revenues increased 18% over the first quarter of 2013. Included in our first quarter Professional Service revenue is a $2.3 million refund of prior year payroll taxes. TriNet ended the first quarter of 2014 with 336 Total Sales Representatives, up from 234 at the end of the first quarter of 2013.

 

TriNet completed its initial public offering of common stock on March 31, 2014, raising net proceeds of $218.9 million through the issuance of 15 million shares.  The Company used $216.6 million of the proceeds to repay debt on the balance sheet.  At March 31, 2014, TriNet had cash and equivalents of $122.6 million and total debt of $602.2 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Results

 

We use Net Insurance Service Revenues, Net Service Revenues, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and, in the first quarter of 2014, Pro forma Adjusted Net Income per share – diluted to provide an additional view of our operational performance. Net Insurance Service Revenues, Net Service Revenues, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Pro forma Adjusted Net Income per share – diluted are financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP. We define Net Insurance Service Revenues as insurance service revenues less insurance costs, which include the premiums we pay to insurance carriers for the health and workers compensation insurance coverage provided to our clients and WSEs and the reimbursements we pay to the insurance carriers for claim payments within our insurance deductible layer. We define Net Service Revenues as the sum of professional service revenues and Net Insurance Service Revenues. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), excluding the effects of our income tax provision (benefit), interest expense, depreciation, amortization of intangible assets and stock-based compensation expense. We define Adjusted Net Income as net income (loss), excluding the effects of stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, non-cash interest expense, in the first quarter of 2014, a debt prepayment premium paid in connection with the repayment of our second lien debt facility using proceeds from our initial public offering and the income tax effect of these pre-tax adjustments at our effective tax rate. In the first quarter of 2014, the effective tax rate is adjusted to exclude income tax on non-deductible stock-based compensation and discrete items including the cumulative effect of state law changes. Non-cash interest expense represents amortization and write-off of our debt issuance costs and, in the first quarter of 2014, a debt prepayment premium. We define Pro Forma Adjusted Net Income per share – diluted as Adjusted Net Income per basic share adjusted to reflect the equity structure as if our initial public offering and associated conversion of preferred stock had occurred at the beginning of the period and all option exercises that occurred during the period occurred at the beginning of the period, and then giving effect to all remaining potential shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of options or settlement of restricted stock units, to the extent dilutive.

We believe that the use of Net Insurance Service Revenues provides useful information as it presents a measure of revenues from our provision of insurance services to our clients that eliminates the cost of insurance. We believe that Net Service Revenues provides a useful measure of total revenues for the two main components of our revenues calculated on a consistent basis. We believe that the use of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Pro Forma Adjusted Net Income per share – diluted provides additional period-to-period comparisons and analysis of trends in our business, as they exclude certain one-time and non-cash expenses. We believe that Net Insurance Service Revenues, Net Service Revenues, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Pro Forma Adjusted Net Income per share – diluted are useful for our stockholders and board of directors by helping them to identify trends in our business and understand how our management evaluates our business. We use Net Insurance Service Revenues, Net Service Revenues, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Pro Forma Adjusted Net Income per share – diluted to monitor and evaluate our operating results and trends on an ongoing basis and internally for operating, budgeting and financial planning purposes, in addition to allocating our resources to enhance the financial performance of our business and evaluating the effectiveness of our business strategies. We also use Net Service Revenues and Adjusted EBITDA in determining the incentive compensation for management.

Net Insurance Service Revenues, Net Service Revenues, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Pro Forma Adjusted Net Income per share – diluted are not prepared in accordance with, and should not be considered in isolation of, or as an alternative to, measurements required by GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. As non-GAAP measures, Net Insurance Service Revenues, Net Service Revenues, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Pro Forma Adjusted Net Income per share – diluted have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. In particular:

• Net Insurance Service Revenues and Net Service Revenues are reduced by the insurance costs that we pay to the insurance carriers;

 


 

• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;

• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the amounts we paid in taxes or other components of our tax provision;

• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

• Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

• Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Pro Forma Adjusted Net Income per share – diluted do not reflect the non-cash component of employee compensation;

• Although depreciation and amortization of intangible assets are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized often will have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and

 

• Other companies in our industry may calculate these measures or similar measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure.

 

Because of these limitations, you should consider Net Insurance Service Revenues, Net Service Revenues, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Pro Forma Adjusted Net Income per share – diluted alongside other financial performance measures, including total revenues, net income (loss) and our financial results presented in accordance with GAAP.
