HOUSTON – April 30, 2026 – Insperity, Inc. (NYSE: NSP), a leading provider of human resources and business performance solutions for America’s best businesses, today reported results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026. Insperity will be hosting a conference call today at 5:00 p.m. ET to discuss these results and our 2026 outlook and will be posting an accompanying presentation to our investor website at http://ir.insperity.com.
Highlights for the quarter included:
•Q1 revenues up 2% year-over-year
•Q1 average paid WSEEs down 1% to 303,049
•Q1 net income of $33 million; adjusted EBITDA of $103 million
•Q1 diluted EPS of $0.88; adjusted EPS of $1.31
First Quarter Results
“We are pleased with our Q1 financial results, which reflect the effectiveness of our efforts to overcome margin pressure experienced in 2025,” said Paul J. Sarvadi, Insperity chairman and chief executive officer. “We are working to reestablish growth momentum over the balance of the year and to capitalize on the opportunity we see ahead in the evolving AI landscape for Insperity’s strategic HR services, technology, and expertise.”
The average number of worksite employees (“WSEE”) paid per month decreased 1% from Q1 2025 to 303,049 WSEEs. Revenues in Q1 2026 increased 2% to $1.9 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 $302 million in Q1 2026, which represents a significant improvement compared to the 21% decline we experienced in Q4 2025. These results reflect our margin recovery efforts, including our pricing, and client renewal strategy, the new contract terms with UnitedHealthcare, plan design changes and a slightly lower than expected claim cost trend. Our benefits costs per covered employee increased 5% over Q1 2025.
Operating expenses decreased 1% to $240 million in Q1 2026, including $9 million in restructuring charges primarily related to severance associated with a workforce realignment. Excluding the restructuring charges, operating expenses decreased 5% over Q1 2025. Operating expenses included $8 million in Q1 2026 and $13 million in Q1 2025 related to our Workday strategic partnership.
Reported net income was $33 million and diluted EPS was $0.88. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS were $103 million and $1.31, respectively.
“We are pleased with our gross profit results and the progress we have made in our margin recovery plan, which we expect to continue throughout 2026,” said James D. Allison, executive vice president of finance, chief financial officer and treasurer. “Our operating expenses in the first quarter of 2026 were slightly better than expected, reflecting the actions we have taken to align our cost structure with the needs of our business and to support profitability recovery.”
Cash outlays in the first three months of 2026 included the repurchase of approximately 171,000 shares of our common stock at a cost of $4 million, dividends totaling $23 million, and capital expenditures of $6 million. Adjusted cash at March 31, 2026 totaled $36 million and we had outstanding borrowings of $370 million under our 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 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. |
