• Q2 net income increases 44% to $14 million

• Q2 adjusted EBITDA increases 30% to $33 million

Second Quarter Results

Second quarter 2017 net income and diluted earnings per share of $14.0 million and $0.66 represented increases of 44% and 47%, respectively, compared to the second quarter of 2016. Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $0.82, a 37% increase over the second quarter of 2016. Adjusted EBITDA increased 30% over the second quarter of 2016 to $33.3 million.

“Our strong second quarter results combined with continued outstanding execution and growth momentum positions Insperity for another record setting year in 2017,” said Paul J. Sarvadi, Insperity chairman and chief executive officer. “These positive trends demonstrate that our proven strategy is in place to capitalize on our unique market opportunity, providing a high level of confidence for 2018 and beyond.”

Revenues for the second quarter of 2017 increased 12.5% over the second quarter of 2016 on a 10% increase in the average number of worksite employees paid per month. All three drivers to worksite employee growth improved over the second quarter of 2016. Worksite employees paid from new sales, increased by 26%, and was driven by a 13% increase in the average number of trained Business Performance Advisors and the enrollment of recent midmarket sales. Client retention averaged 99.5%, an improvement over the second quarter of 2016. The third driver to our worksite employee growth, net hiring in our client base, was also positive for the quarter.

Gross profit increased 15% over the second quarter of 2016 to $130.6 million. Better than expected results were achieved in each of our direct cost programs, including benefits, workers’ compensation and payroll taxes. Operating expenses were managed to budgeted levels, increasing 11% over the second quarter of 2016, and included planned investments in our growth and technology infrastructure, security and development. The second quarter 2017 effective income tax rate was 39%.

“Our substantial increases in cash flow over recent years, combined with our solid balance sheet, allowed us to continue providing a high level of shareholder return through our share repurchase and dividend programs,” said Douglas S. Sharp, senior vice president of finance, chief financial officer and treasurer. “During the second quarter, we increased our quarterly dividend by 20% and repurchased 211,335 shares at a cost of $16.2 million.”

Year-to-Date Results

For the six months ended June 30, 2017, reported net income was $49.6 million, or $2.35 per diluted share, and adjusted diluted earnings per share increased 19% over the first six months of 2016 to $2.65. Adjusted EBITDA increased 11% to $96.0 million.

Revenues for the first six months of 2017 totaled $1.7 billion, an increase of 11% over the 2016 period, on a 10% increase in the average number of worksite employees paid per month. Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2017 increased 10% to $289.9 million. Operating expenses increased 10% to $213.5 million in 2017, while operating expenses per worksite employee remained flat when compared to the 2016 period.

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.

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 insurance at expiration of current contracts; (iv) cancellation of client contracts on short notice, or the inability to renew client contracts or attract new clients; (v) vulnerability to regional economic factors because of our geographic market concentration; (vi) 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; (vii) failure to manage growth of our operations and the effectiveness of our sales and marketing efforts; (viii) the impact of the competitive environment in the PEO industry on our growth and/or profitability; (ix) our liability for worksite employee payroll, payroll taxes and benefits costs; (x) our liability for disclosure of sensitive or private information; (xi) our ability to integrate or realize expected returns on our acquisitions; (xii) failure of our information technology systems; (xiii) an adverse final judgment or settlement of claims against Insperity; and (xiv) disruptions to our business resulting from the actions of certain stockholders. 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 per worksite employee per month	$	6,730	$	6,607	1.9	%	$	6,728	$	6,649	1.2	%

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.

	June 30, 2017		December 31, 2016
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities (GAAP)	$	243,819	$	287,885

Customer prepayments	22,313		21,256
Adjusted cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities	$	48,247	$	44,919

Adjusted cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities excludes funds associated with federal and state income tax withholdings, employment taxes and other payroll deductions, as well as client prepayments. Insperity management believes adjusted cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities is a useful measure of the company’s available funds.

EBITDA represents net income computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), plus interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA plus non-cash impairment and other charges, costs associated with stockholder advisory expenses and stock-based compensation. Insperity management believes EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are often useful measures of the company’s operating performance, as they allow for additional analysis of the company’s operating results separate from the impact of these items.

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 stock-based compensation. Insperity management believes adjusted net income and adjusted diluted net income per share 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 cost, adjusted cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, 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 cost, adjusted cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, 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. 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.

The following is a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures for third quarter and full year 2017 guidance (in millions, except per share amounts):
