Fourth Quarter Results

"We accomplished the key objective of our year-end transition with a step up in gross profit margin, which we believe positions the company for a significant recovery in profitability this year," said Paul J. Sarvadi, Insperity chairman and chief executive officer. "As we enter 2026, we plan to continue emphasizing margin and profit recovery while regaining our growth momentum, which we expect will be achieved through HR360 sales and retention initiatives and the roll out of HRScale."

The average number of worksite employees ("WSEE") paid per month increased 1% from Q4 2024 to 312,377 WSEEs. Revenues in Q4 2025 increased 3% to $1.7 billion on a 2% increase in revenue per WSEE on higher pricing and the increase in paid WSEEs.

Gross profit decreased 21% to $172 million in Q4 2025 from $218 million in Q4 2024 due primarily to continued elevated benefits costs, partially offset by increased pricing. The elevated benefits costs were driven by inpatient, outpatient, and pharmacy trends, as well as frequency of large claim activity.

Operating expenses decreased 6% to $218 million in Q4 2025 from $233 million in Q4 2024. Operating expenses included $10 million in Q4 2025 and $19 million in Q4 2024 related to our Workday strategic partnership. In addition, we incurred $3 million in Q4 2025 related to accelerated lease costs associated with the consolidation of sales offices.

Reported net loss was $33 million and diluted EPS was $(0.88). Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS were $(13) million and $(0.60), respectively.

"We confronted the profitability challenges in 2025 and have taken significant steps designed to produce margin recovery through pricing and client selection, our new contract and plan design changes with UnitedHealthcare, and operating expense efficiencies," said James D. Allison, executive vice president of finance, chief financial officer and treasurer. "We plan to continue executing our strategy throughout 2026, furthering our efforts to drive a meaningful increase in adjusted EBITDA."

Full Year Results

The average number of WSEEs paid per month increased 1% from 2024 to 310,089 WSEEs. Revenues increased by 4% to $6.8 billion on a 3% increase in revenue per WSEE and the increase in paid WSEEs.

Gross profit decreased 14% to $900 million primarily due to unfavorable results in our benefits program, partially offset by increased pricing.

Operating expenses declined 3% to $910 million as compared to 2024. Operating expenses included $48 million for our Workday strategic partnership in 2025.

Reported net loss and diluted EPS were $7 million and $(0.19), respectively. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS were $131 million and $1.03, respectively.

Cash outlays in 2025 included the repurchase of approximately 232,000 shares of our common stock at a cost of $19 million, dividends totaling $90 million, and capital expenditures of $31 million. Adjusted cash at December 31, 2025 totaled $57 million and we had outstanding borrowings of $370 million under our $750 million credit facility.
