FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS |
The statements contained herein that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of 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 “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “projects,” “believes,” “estimates,” “forecasts,” “likely,” “possibly,” “probably,” “could,” “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, in an effort to help keep our stockholders and the public informed about our operations, from time to time, we may issue such forward-looking statements, either orally or in writing. Generally, these statements relate to business plans or strategies; including our strategic partnership with Workday, Inc.; projected or anticipated benefits or other consequences of such plans or strategies; or projections involving anticipated revenues, earnings, average number of worksite employees (“WSEEs”), benefits and workers’ compensation costs, or other operating results. We base these forward-looking statements on our current expectations, estimates and projections. We caution you that these statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions 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:
•adverse economic conditions;
•failure to comply with or meet client expectations regarding certain COVID-19 relief programs;
•bank failures or other events affecting financial institutions; labor shortages, increasing competition for highly skilled workers, and evolving employee expectations regarding the workplace;
•impact of inflation;
•vulnerability to regional economic factors because of our geographic market concentration;
•failure to comply with covenants under our credit facility;
•impact of a future outbreak of highly infectious or contagious disease;
•our liability for WSEE payroll, payroll taxes and benefits costs, or other liabilities associated with actions of our client companies or WSEEs, including if our clients fail to pay us;
•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;
•an adverse determination regarding our status as the employer of our WSEEs for tax and benefit purposes and an inability to offer alternative benefit plans following such a determination;
•cancellation of client contracts on short notice, or the inability to renew client contracts or attract new clients;
•the ability to secure competitive replacement contracts for health insurance and workers’ compensation insurance at expiration of current contracts;
•regulatory and tax developments and possible adverse application of various federal, state and local regulations;
•failure to manage growth of our operations and the effectiveness of our sales and marketing efforts;
•the impact of the competitive environment and other developments in the human resources services industry, including the professional employer organization (or PEO) industry, on our growth and/or profitability;
•an adverse final judgment or settlement of claims against Insperity;
•disruptions of our information technology systems or failure to enhance our service and technology offerings to address new regulations or client expectations;
| | | | | |

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS |
•our liability or damage to our reputation relating to disclosure of sensitive or private information as a result of data theft, cyberattacks or security vulnerabilities;
•failure of third-party providers, such as financial institutions, data centers or cloud service providers;
•our ability to fully realize the anticipated benefits of our strategic partnership and plans to develop a joint solution with Workday, Inc.; and
•our ability to integrate or realize expected returns on future product offerings, including through acquisitions, strategic partnerships, and investments.
These factors are discussed in further detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in Part I and “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II, and elsewhere in this report. 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.
Any forward-looking statements are made only as of the date hereof and, unless otherwise required by applicable securities laws, we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Insperity, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Insperity,” “we,” “our,” and “us”), provides an array of human resources (“HR”) and business solutions designed to help improve business performance. Our most comprehensive HR services offerings are provided through our professional employer organization (“PEO”) services, known as our Workforce Optimization® and Workforce SynchronizationTM solutions (together, our “PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions”), which we provide by entering into a co-employment relationship with our clients. Our PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions encompass a broad range of HR functions, including payroll and employment administration, employee benefits, workers’ compensation, government compliance, performance management, and training and development services, along with our cloud-based human capital management solution, the Insperity PremierTM platform.
In addition to our PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions, we offer a comprehensive traditional payroll and human capital management solution, known as our Workforce AccelerationTM solution (our “Traditional Payroll Solution”). We also offer a number of other business performance solutions, including Recruiting Services, Employment Screening, Retirement Services, and Insurance Services. These other products or services are offered separately or with our other solutions.
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Insperity, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our audited Consolidated Financial Statements at and for the year ended December 31, 2023. Our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2023 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information or footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2024 and our Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 and our Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, have been prepared by us without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been made, and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for a full year or of future operations.
Health Insurance Costs
We provide group health insurance coverage under a single-employer plan that covers both our WSEEs in our PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions and our corporate employees and utilizes a national network of carriers, including UnitedHealthcare (“United”), UnitedHealthcare of California, Kaiser Permanente, Blue Shield of California, HMSA BlueCross BlueShield of Hawaii, and Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, formerly known as Tufts, all of which provide fully insured policies or service contracts.
Approximately 87% of our costs related to health insurance coverage are provided under our policy with United. While the policy with United is a fully insured plan, as a result of certain contractual terms, we have accounted for this plan since its inception using a partially self-funded insurance accounting model. Effective January 1, 2020, under the amended agreement with United, we no longer have financial responsibilities for a participant’s annual claim costs that exceed $1 million (“Individual Claims Limit”). Accordingly, we record the cost of the United plan, including an estimate of the incurred claims, taxes and administrative fees (collectively the “Plan Costs”), as benefits expense, which is a component of direct costs, in our Consolidated Statements of Income. The estimated incurred but not reported claims are based upon: (1) the level of claims processed during each quarter; (2) estimated completion rates based upon recent claim development
| | | | | |
Insperity | 2024 Third Quarter Form 10-Q | 11 |
| | |
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
|
patterns under the plan; and (3) the number of participants in the plan, including both active and COBRA enrollees. Each reporting period, changes in the estimated ultimate costs resulting from claim trends, plan design and migration, participant demographics, and other factors are incorporated into the benefits costs, which requires a significant level of judgment.
Additionally, since the plan’s inception, under the terms of the contract, United establishes cash funding rates 90 days in advance of the beginning of a reporting quarter. If the Plan Costs for a reporting quarter are greater than the premiums paid and owed to United, a deficit in the plan would be incurred and a liability for the excess costs would be accrued in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. On the other hand, if the Plan Costs for the reporting quarter are less than the premiums paid and owed to United, a surplus in the plan would be incurred and we would record an asset for the excess premiums in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The terms of the arrangement require us to maintain an accumulated cash surplus in the plan of $9 million, which is reported as long-term prepaid health insurance. In addition, United requires a deposit equal to approximately one day of claims funding activity, which was $7 million at September 30, 2024, and is included in deposits - health insurance as a long-term asset on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of September 30, 2024, Plan Costs were less than the net premiums paid and owed to United by $28 million. As this amount is in excess of the agreed-upon $9 million surplus maintenance level, the $19 million difference is included in prepaid insurance, a current asset, in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The premiums, including the additional quarterly premiums, owed to United at September 30, 2024 were $39 million, which is included in accrued health insurance costs, a current liability in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our benefits costs incurred in the first nine months of 2024 included a decrease of $32 million for changes in estimated run-off related to prior periods, net of Individual Claims Limit. Our benefits costs incurred in the first nine months of 2023 included a decrease of $14 million for changes in estimated run-off related to prior periods, net of Individual Claims Limit.
Workers’ Compensation Costs
Our workers’ compensation coverage for our WSEEs in our PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions has been provided through arrangements with the Chubb Group of Insurance Companies or its predecessors (the “Chubb Program”) since 2007. The Chubb Program is fully insured in that Chubb has the responsibility to pay all claims incurred under the policy regardless of whether we satisfy our responsibilities. Under the Chubb Program, for claims incurred on or before September 30, 2019, we have financial responsibility to Chubb for the first $1 million layer of claims per occurrence and, for claims over $1 million, up to a maximum aggregate amount of $6 million per policy year for claims that exceed $1 million. Chubb bears the financial responsibility for all claims in excess of these levels. Effective for claims incurred on or after October 1, 2019, we have financial responsibility to Chubb for the first $1.5 million layer of claims per occurrence and, for claims over $1.5 million, up to a maximum aggregate amount of $6 million per policy year for claims that exceed $1.5 million.
Because we bear the financial responsibility for claims up to the levels noted above, such claims, which are the primary component of our workers’ compensation costs, are recorded in the period incurred. Workers’ compensation insurance includes ongoing health care and indemnity coverage whereby claims are paid over numerous years following the date of injury. Accordingly, the accrual of related incurred costs in each reporting period includes estimates, which take into account the ongoing development of claims and therefore requires a significant level of judgment.
We utilize a third-party actuary to estimate our loss development rate, which is primarily based upon the nature of WSEEs’ job responsibilities, the location of WSEEs, the historical frequency and severity of workers’ compensation claims, and an estimate of future cost trends. Each reporting period, changes in the actuarial assumptions resulting from changes in actual claims experience and other trends are incorporated into our workers’ compensation claims cost estimates. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we reduced accrued workers’ compensation costs by $25 million and $26 million, respectively, for changes in estimated losses related to prior periods. Workers’ compensation cost estimates are discounted to present value at a rate based upon the U.S. Treasury rates that correspond with the weighted average estimated claim payout period (the average discount rate utilized in the 2024 period was 4.3% and in the 2023 period was 4.2%) and are accreted over the estimated claim payment period and included as a component of direct costs in our Consolidated Statements of Income.

Total accrued claims | $ | 207 | | | $ | 222 | |
The current portion of accrued workers’ compensation costs on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 30, 2024 and 2023 includes $3 million and $4 million, respectively, of workers’ compensation administrative fees.
The undiscounted accrued workers’ compensation costs were $242 million as of September 30, 2024 and $250 million as of September 30, 2023.
At the beginning of each policy period, the workers’ compensation insurance carrier establishes monthly funding requirements comprised of premium costs and funds to be set aside for payment of future claims (“claim funds”). The level of claim funds is primarily based upon anticipated WSEE payroll levels and expected workers’ compensation loss rates, as determined by the insurance carrier. Monies funded into the program for incurred claims expected to be paid within one year are recorded as restricted cash, a short-term asset, while the remainder of claim funds are included in deposits – workers’ compensation, a long-term asset in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. At September 30, 2024, we had restricted cash of $67 million and deposits – workers’ compensation of $175 million, of which $233 million was held in a trust account.
Our estimate of incurred claim costs expected to be paid within one year is included in short-term liabilities, while our estimate of incurred claim costs expected to be paid beyond one year is included in long-term liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Revenues
We enter into contracts with our customers for human resources services based on a stated rate and price in the contract. Our contracts generally establish pricing for a period of 12 months and are generally cancellable at any time by either party with 30-days’ notice. Our performance obligations are satisfied as services are rendered each month. The term between invoicing and when our performance obligations are satisfied is not significant. Our payment terms typically require payment concurrently with the invoicing of our PEO services. We do not have significant financing components or significant payment terms.
Our revenue is generally recognized ratably over the payroll period as WSEEs perform their service at the client worksite in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Customers are invoiced concurrently with each periodic payroll of its WSEEs. Revenues that have been recognized but not invoiced represent unbilled accounts receivable of $754 million and $669 million at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and are included in accounts receivable, net on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Pursuant to the “practical expedients” provided under ASC 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs - Contracts with Customers, we expense sales commissions when incurred because the terms of our contracts are cancellable by either party with a 30-day notice. These costs are recorded in commissions in our Consolidated Statements of Income.

Our PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions revenues are primarily derived from our gross billings, which are based on (1) the payroll cost of our WSEEs; and (2) a markup computed as a percentage of the payroll cost. The gross billings are invoiced concurrently with each periodic payroll of our WSEEs. Revenues, which exclude the payroll cost component of gross billings and therefore consist solely of the markup, are recognized ratably over the payroll period as WSEEs perform their service at the client worksite.
In determining the pricing of the markup component of our gross billings, we take into consideration our estimates of the costs directly associated with our WSEEs, including payroll taxes, benefits and workers’ compensation costs, plus an acceptable gross profit margin. As a result, our operating results are significantly impacted by our ability to accurately estimate our direct costs relative to the revenues derived from the markup component of our gross billings.
Revenues are comprised of gross billings less WSEE payroll costs as follows:

4. | Fair Value Measurements |
We account for our financial assets in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. This standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The fair value measurement disclosures are grouped into three levels based on valuation factors:
•Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets using identical assets
•Level 2 - significant other observable inputs, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other observable inputs
•Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs

During Q3 2024, we transferred $158 million of claim funds previously held with Chubb to a trust account and those funds were subsequently invested in money market funds. Both before and after the transfer, these funds were included in restricted cash and deposits - workers’ compensation on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Our valuation techniques used to measure fair value for these securities during the period consisted primarily of third-party pricing services that utilized actual market data such as trades of comparable bond issues, broker/dealer quotations for the same or similar investments in active markets and other observable inputs.

As of September 30, 2024, the contractual maturities of all marketable securities in our portfolio were less than one year.
Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, deposits and accounts payable approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
As of September 30, 2024, the carrying value of borrowings under our revolving credit facility approximates fair value and was classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Please read Note 5, “Long-Term Debt,” for additional information. We have a revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) with a borrowing capacity of up to $650 million. The Facility may be further increased to $700 million based on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the agreement relating to the Facility (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”). The Facility is available for working capital and general corporate purposes, including acquisitions, stock repurchases and issuances of letters of credit. Our obligations under the Facility are secured by 100% of the stock of our captive insurance subsidiary and are guaranteed by all of our subsidiaries other than our captive insurance subsidiary and certain other excluded subsidiaries. At September 30, 2024, our outstanding balance on the Facility was $369 million, and we had an outstanding $1 million letter of credit issued under the Facility, resulting in an available borrowing capacity of $280 million.

Insperity | 2024 Third Quarter Form 10-Q | 16 |

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
The Facility matures on June 30, 2027. Borrowings under the Facility bear interest at an annual rate equal to an alternate base rate or Adjusted Term SOFR for term SOFR loans, in either case plus an applicable margin. Adjusted Term SOFR is a forward-looking term rate based on the secured overnight financing rate plus a spread adjustment, which ranges from 0.10% to 0.25% depending on the interest period and type of loan. Depending on our leverage ratio, the applicable margin varies (1) in the case of SOFR loans, from 1.50% to 2.25% and (2) in the case of alternate base rate loans, from 0.00% to 0.50%. The alternate base rate is the highest of (1) the prime rate most recently published in The Wall Street Journal, (2) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%; and (3) the Adjusted Term SOFR rate plus 2.00%. We also pay an unused commitment fee on the average daily unused portion of the Facility at a rate of 0.25% per year. The average interest rate for the nine month period ended September 30, 2024 was 7.2%. Interest expense and unused commitment fees are recorded in other income (expense).
The Facility contains both affirmative and negative covenants that we believe are customary for arrangements of this nature. Covenants include, but are not limited to, limitations on our ability to incur additional indebtedness, sell material assets, retire, redeem or otherwise reacquire our capital stock, acquire the capital stock or assets of another business, make investments and pay dividends. In addition, the Credit Agreement requires us to comply with financial covenants limiting our total funded debt, minimum interest coverage ratio, and maximum leverage ratio. We were in compliance with all financial covenants under the Credit Agreement at September 30, 2024.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we repurchased or withheld an aggregate of 551,264 shares of our common stock, as described below.
Repurchase Program
Our Board of Directors (the “Board”) has authorized a program to repurchase shares of our outstanding common stock (“Repurchase Program”).

Key Operating Metrics
We monitor certain key metrics to measure our performance, including:
•WSEEs
•Adjusted EBITDA
•Adjusted EPS
Our growth in the number of WSEEs paid is affected by three primary sources: new client sales, client retention and the net change in WSEEs paid at existing clients through new hires and employee terminations.
•During Q3 2024, average WSEEs paid decreased 2% compared to Q3 2023. The number of WSEEs paid from new client sales declined compared with Q3 2023, while client retention and the net change in our client base remained consistent with Q3 2023.
•During the first nine months of 2024 (“YTD 2024”), average WSEEs paid decreased 1% compared to the first nine months of 2023 (“YTD 2023”). The number of WSEEs paid from new client sales, the net change in our client base, and client retention declined when compared to YTD 2023.

Revenues
Our PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions revenues are primarily derived from our gross billings, which are based on (1) the payroll cost of our WSEEs and (2) a monthly markup component.
Our revenues are primarily dependent on the number of clients enrolled, the resulting number of WSEEs paid each period and the number of WSEEs enrolled in our benefit plans. Because our monthly markup is computed in part as a

percentage of payroll cost, certain revenues are also affected by the payroll cost of WSEEs, which may fluctuate based on the composition of the WSEE base, inflationary effects on wage levels and differences in the local economies of our markets.
Revenue and
Year-over-Year Growth Percentage
(in millions)
Third Quarter 2024 Compared to Third Quarter 2023

Gross Profit
In determining the pricing of the markup component of our gross billings, we take into consideration our estimates of the costs directly associated with our WSEEs, including payroll taxes, benefits and workers’ compensation costs, plus an acceptable gross profit margin. As a result, our operating results are significantly impacted by our ability to accurately estimate our direct costs relative to the revenues derived from the markup component of our gross billings.
Our gross profit per WSEE is primarily determined by our ability to accurately estimate direct costs and our ability to incorporate changes in these costs into the gross billings charged to PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions clients, which are subject to pricing arrangements that are typically renewed annually. We use gross profit per WSEE per month as our principal measurement of relative performance at the gross profit level.

Gross Profit per WSEE per Month and Year-over-Year Growth Percentage |
Third Quarter 2024 Compared to Third Quarter 2023
Gross profit for Q3 2024 decreased 11% to $229 million compared to $258 million in Q3 2023. Gross profit per WSEE per month for Q3 2024 decreased $26 to $247 compared to $273 in Q3 2023 due primarily to higher direct costs, offset in part by higher average pricing, as discussed below.
Our pricing objectives attempt to achieve a level of revenue per WSEE that matches or exceeds changes in primary direct costs and operating expenses. Our revenues per WSEE per month increased $44 due to higher average pricing of 3%.
The net increase in direct costs between Q3 2024 and Q3 2023 attributable to the changes in cost estimates for benefits and workers’ compensation totaled $14 million as discussed below. The $70 per WSEE per month increase in direct costs is due primarily to the direct cost component changes as follows:
Benefits costs
•The cost of group health insurance and related employee benefits increased $45 per WSEE per month and increased 7.7% on a cost per covered employee basis in Q3 2024 as compared to Q3 2023.
•The percentage of WSEEs covered under our health insurance plans was 63% in Q3 2024 compared to 65% in Q3 2023.
•Reported results include changes in estimated claims run-off related to prior periods, which was a reduction in costs of $12 million, or $13 per WSEE per month, in Q3 2024 compared to a decrease in costs of $23 million, or $24 per WSEE per month, in Q3 2023.
Workers’ compensation costs
Our continued discipline around our client selection, workplace safety and claims management contributed to the increase in our cost per WSEE and, as a result, has allowed for claims within our policy periods to be closed out at amounts below our original cost estimates.
•Workers’ compensation costs increased $4 per WSEE per month in Q3 2024 compared to Q3 2023 while non-bonus payroll costs remained flat.
| | | | | |
Insperity | 2024 Third Quarter Form 10-Q | 27 |
| | |
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
•As a percentage of non-bonus payroll cost, workers’ compensation costs were 0.25% in Q3 2024 compared to 0.21% in Q3 2023.
•We recorded a reduction in workers’ compensation costs of $8 million, or 0.09% of non-bonus payroll costs in Q3 2024, as a result of closing out claims at lower than expected costs. In Q3 2023, we recorded a reduction of $11 million, or 0.13% of non-bonus payroll costs.
Payroll tax costs
•Payroll taxes increased 2% on a 3% increase in payroll costs, or $20 per WSEE per month.
•Payroll taxes as a percentage of payroll costs were 6% in both Q3 2024 and Q3 2023.
First Nine Months 2024 Compared to First Nine Months 2023
Gross profit for YTD 2024 increased 2% to $834 million compared to $815 million in YTD 2023. Gross profit per WSEE per month for YTD 2024 increased $11 to $302 compared to $291 in YTD 2023 due primarily to higher average pricing, offset in part by higher direct costs, as discussed below.
Our pricing objectives attempt to achieve a level of revenue per WSEE that matches or exceeds changes in primary direct costs and operating expenses. Our revenues per WSEE per month increased $48 due to higher average pricing of 3%.
The net decrease in direct costs between YTD 2024 and YTD 2023 attributable to the changes in cost estimates for benefits and workers’ compensation totaled $17 million as discussed below. The $37 per WSEE per month increase in direct costs is due primarily to the direct cost component changes as follows:
Benefits costs
•The cost of group health insurance and related employee benefits increased $16 per WSEE per month, or 3.9% on a cost per covered employee basis.
•The percentage of WSEEs covered under our health insurance plans was 64% in YTD 2024 compared to 65% in YTD 2023.
•Reported results include changes in estimated claims run-off related to prior periods, which was a decrease in costs of $32 million, or $12 per WSEE per month, in YTD 2024 compared to a decrease in costs of $14 million, or $5 per WSEE per month, in YTD 2023.
Workers’ compensation costs
Our continued discipline around our client selection, workplace safety and claims management has allowed for claims within our policy periods to be closed out at amounts below our original cost estimates.
•Workers’ compensation costs increased 2%, or $1 per WSEE per month, in YTD 2024 compared to YTD 2023.
•As a percentage of non-bonus payroll cost, workers’ compensation costs were 0.23% in both YTD 2024 and YTD 2023.

During the first nine months of 2024 we did not recognize an income tax benefit as compared to an income tax benefit of $5 million for the first nine months of 2023, related to the vesting of long-term incentive and restricted stock awards. During Q3 2024, we recognized a $1 million, or $0.02 per share, tax benefit related to research and development activities pertaining to the 2023 tax year.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
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.
Bonus payroll cost varies from period to period, but has no direct impact to our ultimate workers’ compensation costs under the current program. | Our management refers to non-bonus payroll cost in analyzing, reporting and forecasting our workers’ compensation costs.
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. |

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We periodically evaluate our liquidity requirements, capital needs and availability of resources in view of, among other things, our expansion plans, stock repurchases, potential acquisitions, debt service requirements and other operating cash needs. To meet short-term liquidity requirements, which are primarily the payment of direct costs and operating expenses, we rely primarily on cash from operations. Longer-term projects, large stock repurchases or significant acquisitions may be financed with public or private debt or equity. We have a revolving credit facility (“Facility”) with a syndicate of financial institutions with a current borrowing capacity of $650 million. The Facility is available for working capital and general corporate purposes, including acquisitions and stock repurchases. We have in the past sought, and may in the future seek, to raise additional capital or take other steps to increase or manage our liquidity and capital resources.
We had $486 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at September 30, 2024, of which approximately $255 million was payable in early October 2024 for withheld federal and state income taxes, employment taxes and other payroll deductions, approximately $19 million represented client prepayments that were payable in October 2024. At September 30, 2024, we had working capital of $200 million compared to $159 million at December 31, 2023. We currently believe that our cash on hand, marketable securities, cash flows from operations, and availability under the Facility will be adequate to meet our liquidity requirements for the remainder of 2024. We intend to rely on these same sources, as well as public and private debt or equity financing, to meet our longer-term liquidity and capital needs.
As of September 30, 2024, we had outstanding letters of credit and borrowings totaling $370 million under the Facility. Please read Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Long-Term Debt,” for additional information. Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities in the first nine months of 2024 was $99 million. Our primary source of cash from operations is the comprehensive service fee and payroll funding we collect from our clients. Our cash and cash equivalents, and thus our reported cash flows from operating activities, are significantly impacted by various external and internal factors, which are reflected in part by the changes in our balance sheet accounts. These include the following:
•Timing of client payments / payroll taxes — We typically collect our comprehensive service fee, along with the client’s payroll funding, from clients no later than the same day as the payment of WSEE payrolls and associated payroll taxes. Therefore, the last business day of a reporting period has a substantial impact on our reporting of operating cash flows. For example, many WSEEs are paid on Fridays; therefore, operating cash flows decrease in the reporting periods that end on a Friday or a Monday. In the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the last business day of the reporting period was a Monday, client prepayments were $19 million and employment taxes and other deductions were $255 million. In the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the last business day of the reporting period was a Friday, client prepayments were $20 million and employment taxes and other deductions were $483 million, which included $149 million of funds related to client employee retention tax credits received on their behalf from the Internal Revenue Service that were distributed to clients in early October 2023.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
•Workers’ compensation plan funding — During YTD 2024, we received $38 million for the return of excess claim funds related to the workers’ compensation program, which resulted in an increase in working capital.
•Medical plan funding — Our health care contract with United establishes participant cash funding rates 90 days in advance of the beginning of a reporting quarter. Therefore, changes in the participation level of the United plan have a direct impact on our operating cash flows. In addition, changes to the funding rates, which are solely determined by United based primarily upon recent claim history and anticipated cost trends, also have a significant impact on our operating cash flows. As of September 30, 2024, Plan Costs were less than the net premiums paid and owed to United by $28 million, which is $19 million in excess of our agreed-upon $9 million surplus maintenance level. The $19 million difference is therefore reflected as a current asset and $9 million is reflected as a long-term asset on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2024. In addition, the premiums owed to United at September 30, 2024, were $39 million, which is included in accrued health insurance costs, a current liability, on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
•Operating results — Our adjusted net income has a significant impact on our operating cash flows. Our adjusted net income decreased 27% to $134 million in the first nine months of 2024, compared to $183 million in the first nine months of 2023. Please read “Results of Operations.” Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash flows used in investing activities were $25 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to property and equipment purchases.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash flows used in financing activities were $163 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. We paid $67 million in dividends and repurchased or withheld $52 million in stock. In addition, client funds liability and other financing activities decreased by $44 million.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK AND CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are primarily exposed to market risks from fluctuations in interest rates and the effects of those fluctuations on the market values of our cash equivalent short-term investments, our available-for-sale marketable securities and our borrowings under our Facility, which bears interest at a variable market rate. As of September 30, 2024, we had outstanding letters of credit and borrowings totaling $370 million under the Facility. Please read Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Long-Term Debt,” for additional information. The cash equivalent short-term investments consist primarily of overnight investments, which are not significantly exposed to interest rate risk, except to the extent that changes in interest rates will ultimately affect the amount of interest income earned on these investments. Our available-for-sale marketable securities are subject to interest rate risk because these securities generally include a fixed interest rate. As a result, the market values of these securities are affected by changes in prevailing interest rates.
We attempt to limit our exposure to interest rate risk primarily through diversification and low investment turnover. Our investment policy is designed to maximize after-tax interest income while preserving our principal investment. As a result, our marketable securities consist of primarily short-term U.S. Government Securities.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
In accordance with Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2024.
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

____________________________________
(1)During the three months ended September 30, 2024, 215 shares of stock were withheld to satisfy tax-withholding obligations arising in conjunction with the vesting of restricted stock units. The required withholding is calculated using the closing sales price reported by the New York Stock Exchange on the date prior to the applicable vesting date. These shares are not subject to the repurchase program.
(2)Our Board of Directors has approved a program to repurchase shares of our outstanding common stock, which was originally announced on January 28, 1999. From time to time, our Board of Directors has increased the number of shares authorized to be repurchased under the program. On August 1, 2023, we announced that our Board of Directors had authorized an increase of 2,000,000 shares that may be repurchased under the program. As of September 30, 2024, we were authorized to repurchase an additional 1,598,559 shares under the program. Unless terminated earlier by resolution of our Board of Directors, the repurchase program will expire when we have repurchased all shares authorized for repurchase under the repurchase program.
