Third Quarter Results
“We are actively working to position Insperity for sustainable profitability at normal historical levels as we execute on our plan in response to unexpected, elevated healthcare cost trend. We are simultaneously taking assertive actions, including through the new contract with UnitedHealthcare, and will continue to focus on attracting and retaining the right clients at the right price and prudently managing expenses,” said Paul J. Sarvadi, Insperity chairman and chief executive officer. “We are also pleased to announce the official rollout of HRScale, our strategic joint development offering with Workday. We believe this offering will position Insperity uniquely within the marketplace and serve as a catalyst for future growth. While we are making progress in the areas we can control, the macro pressures affecting our business remain significant and we recognize there is more work to do to deliver the results we know Insperity can produce.”
The average number of worksite employees (“WSEE”) paid per month increased 1% from Q3 2024 to 312,842 WSEEs. Revenues in Q3 2025 increased 4% to $1.6 billion on a 3% increase in revenue per WSEE on higher pricing and the increase in paid WSEEs.
Gross profit decreased 15% to $195 million in Q3 2025 from $229 million in Q3 2024 due primarily to higher-than-expected benefits costs. Higher Q3 2025 healthcare costs were driven by elevated inpatient, outpatient and pharmacy trends and frequency of large claim activity.
“We are pleased to announce a multi-year contract extension with UnitedHealthcare which provides significant cost reductions and reduces our pooling level for large claims to $500,000 beginning on January 1, 2026. We expect these changes will provide outstanding value for plan participants and help address the challenging employee benefits cost trend environment,” said James D. Allison, executive vice president of finance, chief financial officer and treasurer. “We believe the structure of the agreement improves our financial outlook substantially for 2026 and enhances strategic alignment for growth and profitability in subsequent years.”
Operating expenses decreased 4% to $220 million in Q3 2025 from $228 million in Q3 2024. Operating expenses included $11 million and $19 million for our Workday strategic partnership in Q3 2025 and Q3 2024, respectively.


Reported net loss was $20 million and diluted EPS was $(0.53). Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS were $10 million and $(0.20), respectively.
Year-to-Date Results
The average number of WSEEs paid per month increased 1% from 2024 to 309,327 WSEEs. Revenues increased by 4% to $5.1 billion on a 3% increase in revenue per WSEE and the increase in paid WSEEs.
Gross profit decreased 13% to $728 million primarily due to unfavorable results from our benefits costs program, offset in part by increased pricing and favorability in other direct cost areas.
Operating expenses declined 1% to $692 million as compared to the 2024 period. Operating expenses included $38 million for our Workday strategic partnership in YTD 2025.
Reported net income and diluted EPS were $26 million and $0.69, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS were $144 million and $1.63, respectively.
Cash outlays in the first nine months of 2025 included the repurchase of approximately 225,000 shares of our common stock at a cost of $19 million, dividends totaling $68 million, and capital expenditures of $22 million. Adjusted cash at September 30, 2025 totaled $120 million and we had outstanding borrowings of $370 million under our $650 million credit facility.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Insperity, Inc.
Non-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(Unaudited)

Non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures used to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as provided in the tables below.
Non-GAAP MeasureDefinitionBenefit of Non-GAAP Measure
Non-bonus payroll costNon-bonus payroll cost is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the impact of bonus payrolls paid to our WSEEs.Our management refers to non-bonus payroll cost in analyzing, reporting and forecasting our workers’ compensation costs.

Bonus payroll cost varies from period to period, but has no direct impact to our ultimate workers’ compensation costs under the current program.

We include these non-GAAP financial measures because we believe they are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency related to the costs incurred under our current workers’ compensation program.
Adjusted cash, cash equivalents and marketable securitiesExcludes funds associated with:
•  federal and state income tax withholdings,
•  employment taxes,
•  other payroll deductions, and
•  client prepayments.		We believe that the exclusion of the identified items helps us reflect the fundamentals of our underlying business model and analyze results against our expectations, against prior periods, and to plan for future periods by focusing on our underlying operations. We believe that the adjusted results provide relevant and useful information for investors because they allow investors to view performance in a manner similar to the method used by management and improves their ability to understand and assess our operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is used by our lenders to assess our leverage and ability to make interest payments.
EBITDARepresents net income computed in accordance with GAAP, plus:
•  interest expense,
•  income tax expense,
•  depreciation and amortization expense, and
•  amortization of SaaS implementation costs.
Adjusted EBITDARepresents EBITDA plus:
•  non-cash stock-based compensation.
Adjusted net incomeRepresents net income computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding:
•  non-cash stock-based compensation.
Adjusted EPSRepresents diluted net income per share computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding:
•  non-cash stock-based compensation.
