HOUSTON – Feb. 10, 2015 – Insperity, Inc. (NYSE: NSP), a leading provider of human resources and business performance solutions for America’s best businesses, today reported results for the fourth quarter and year ended Dec. 31, 2014. For the fourth quarter, the company reported adjusted EBITDA of $22.6 million, a 22.4% increase over the fourth quarter 2013. Adjusted net income was $8.9 million and adjusted diluted earnings per share were $0.35, a 45.8% increase over the fourth quarter of 2013. Reported fourth quarter GAAP net income and earnings per share were $8.2 million and $0.27, respectively.
“Our successful fall selling and retention campaign has reestablished momentum in growth and profitability and set Insperity up for double digit unit growth in 2015,” said Paul J. Sarvadi, Insperity chairman and chief executive officer. “Our long-term strategy to offer a wide array of business performance solutions to establish a broader platform for growth is now in place and producing excellent results.”
Fourth Quarter Results
Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2014 increased 7.0% over the fourth quarter of 2013 on a 4.6% increase in the average number of worksite employees paid per month. All three drivers to worksite employee growth including sales, client retention and net hiring in our client base, improved over the fourth quarter of 2013.
The 22.4% increase in adjusted EBITDA over the fourth quarter of 2013 resulted from a 12.6% increase in gross profit on a 6.3% increase in operating expenses.
Full Year Results
For the year ended Dec. 31, 2014, the company had adjusted EBITDA of $84.1 million and adjusted diluted earnings per share of $1.19. Reported 2014 GAAP net income was $28.0 million, or $1.05 per share.
Revenues in 2014 were $2.4 billion, an increase of 4.5% over 2013 on a 2.5% increase in the average number of worksite employees paid per month. Sequential quarterly increases in worksite employees accelerated throughout 2014, from 1.6% in the second quarter to 2.6% in the third quarter and 4.0% in the fourth quarter. Gross profit for the year ended Dec. 31, 2014 increased 2.7% to $403.8 million.
“Adjusted EBITDA and earnings per share exceeded our initial budget going into 2014 as we effectively managed our direct costs and operating expenses while accelerating unit growth,” said Douglas S. Sharp, senior vice-president of finance, chief financial officer and treasurer.
Cash outlays in 2014 included the repurchase of 693,262 shares at a cost of $20.8 million and dividends totaling $69.5 million, including both our regular quarterly dividend and the $2 per share special dividend declared in December. Working capital at Dec. 31, 2014, was $73.1 million.
Other Matters
Separately, the company renewed its revolving credit facility on February 6, 2015. The facility has been increased to $125 million and matures in February 2020. It is available for general corporate purposes and is subject to various covenants that are customary for facilities of this nature.

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: (i) adverse economic conditions; (ii) regulatory and tax developments and possible adverse application of various federal, state and local regulations; (iii) the ability to secure competitive replacement contracts for health insurance and
workers’ compensation contracts at expiration of current contracts; (iv) 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; (v) failure to manage growth of our operations and the effectiveness of our sales and marketing efforts; (vi) the competitive environment in the PEO industry may impact growth and/or profitability; (vii) our liability for worksite employee payroll, payroll taxes and benefits costs; (viii) our liability for disclosure of sensitive or private information; (ix) our ability to integrate or realize expected returns on our acquisitions; (x) failure of our information technology systems; (xi) an adverse final judgment or settlement of claims against Insperity; and (xii) the actions of certain stockholders could disrupt our business. 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.

Non-bonus payroll cost represents payroll cost excluding the impact of bonus payrolls paid to the company’s worksite employees. Bonus payroll cost varies from period to period, but has no direct impact to the company’s ultimate workers’ compensation costs under the current program. As a result, Insperity management refers to non-bonus payroll cost in analyzing, reporting and forecasting the company’s workers’ compensation costs.

Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted net income per share of common stock represent net income and diluted net income per share computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding the impact of: i) a $2.5 million impairment charge associated with the Employment Screening reporting unit in 2014; ii) a $1.2 million impairment charge related to a revision to our office consolidation plans in 2014; iii) a $3.3 million impairment charge associated with the Expense Management reporting unit in 2013; iv) a $2.7 million impairment charge related to The Receivables Exchange in 2013; and v) a $2.0 million tax credit relating to tax years 2009 - 2012 and recorded in 2013. Under the two-class earnings per share method, the undistributed losses resulting from dividends exceeding net income in 2014 are not allocated to participating securities. Insperity management believes adjusted
net income and adjusted diluted net income per share of common stock are useful measures of the company’s operating performance in this period, as they allow for additional analysis of the company’s operating results separate from the impact of these items.
Non-bonus payroll, adjusted operating expenses, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted net income per share of common stock are not financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from similar measures used by other companies. Non-bonus payroll, adjusted operating expenses, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted net income per share of common stock should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Insperity includes non-bonus payroll, adjusted operating expenses, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted net income per share of common stock in this press release because the company believes they are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency related to the costs incurred under the company’s workers’ compensation program and the company’s operating performance during the periods presented. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as provided in the tables above.
