Second Quarter Results

“We are pleased that our second quarter results reflect meaningful progress on our top 2026 priority of margin recovery, with worksite employee growth and profitability metrics meeting or exceeding our forecasted ranges,” said Paul J. Sarvadi, Insperity chairman and chief executive officer. “Over the balance of the year our goal is to lay the foundation to regain growth momentum through our refined sales motion, HRScale progress and AI initiatives.”

The average number of worksite employees (“WSEE”) paid per month decreased 1% from Q2 2025 to 305,764 WSEEs. Revenues in Q2 2026 increased 2% to $1.7 billion on a 3% increase in revenue per WSEE on higher pricing, partially offset by the decrease in paid WSEEs.

Gross profit decreased 3% to $217 million in Q2 2026 and gross profit per WSEE decreased 1% to $237. Our benefits costs per covered employee increased 5% over Q2 2025.

Operating expenses decreased 8% to $211 million in Q2 2026 over Q2 2025. Operating expenses included $8 million in Q2 2026 and $14 million in Q2 2025 related to our Workday strategic partnership.

Reported net income increased 180% to $4 million and diluted EPS increased 171% to $0.10. Adjusted EBITDA increased 13% to $36 million and adjusted EPS increased 31% to $0.34.

“All three components of our margin recovery plan contributed to our second quarter results, including our pricing and client retention strategy, benefit plan and policy changes, and operating expense management,” said James D. Allison, executive vice president of finance, chief financial officer and treasurer. “As we continue to execute this plan over the remainder of the year, the cumulative impact of these efforts is expected to produce a significant profit recovery in 2026 and provide a solid foundation heading into 2027.”

Year-to-Date Results

The average number of WSEEs paid per month decreased 1% from 2025 to 304,407 WSEEs. Revenues increased by 2% to $3.6 billion on a 3% increase in revenue per WSEE and the decrease in paid WSEEs.

Gross profit decreased 3% to $519 million and gross profit per WSEE decreased 2% to $284. Our benefits costs per covered employee increased 5% over YTD 2025, partially offset by increased pricing.

Operating expenses declined 4% to $451 million as compared to the 2025 period. Operating expenses included $16 million for our Workday strategic partnership in 2026.

Reported net income and diluted EPS both decreased by 20% to $37 million and $0.97, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA increased 4% to $139 million and adjusted EPS declined 10% to $1.64.

Cash outlays in the first six months of 2026 included the repurchase of approximately 172,000 shares of our common stock at a cost of $4 million, dividends totaling $46 million, and capital expenditures of $13 million. Adjusted cash at June 30, 2026 totaled $95 million. During the second quarter, we borrowed $50 million for working capital purposes resulting in outstanding borrowings of $420 million under our credit facility at June 30, 2026.

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 Measure	Definition	Benefit of Non-GAAP Measure
Non-bonus payroll cost	Non-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 securities	Excludes 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.

Adjusted operating expenses	Represents operating expenses excluding the impact of the following: • restructuring charges.

EBITDA	Represents net income computed in accordance with GAAP, plus: • interest expense, • income tax expense, • depreciation and amortization expense, and • amortization of SaaS implementation costs.

Adjusted EBITDA	Represents EBITDA plus: • non-cash stock-based compensation, and • restructuring charges.

Adjusted net income	Represents net income computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding: • non-cash stock-based compensation, • restructuring charges, and • the income tax effect at our effective tax rate of these pre-tax adjustments.⁽¹⁾

Adjusted EPS	Represents diluted net income per share computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding: • non-cash stock-based compensation, • restructuring charges, and • the income tax effect at our effective tax rate of these pre-tax adjustments.⁽¹⁾

_____________________________________
⁽¹⁾	Non-GAAP effective tax rate excludes the income tax impact from stock-based compensation, restructuring charges, and changes in uncertain tax positions, and nonrecurring benefits or expenses from federal legislative changes.
