INSPERITY, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2015
(Unaudited)


1.
Basis of Presentation

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 service offerings are provided through our professional employer organization (“PEO”) services, known as Workforce Optimization ® and Workforce Synchronization solutions (together, our “PEO HR Outsourcing solutions”), which 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.

In addition to our PEO HR Outsourcing solutions, we offer Human Capital Management, Payroll Services, Time and Attendance, Performance Management, Organizational Planning, Recruiting Services, Employment Screening, Financial and Expense Management Services, Retirement Services and Insurance Services (collectively “Strategic Businesses” and formerly known as “Adjacent Businesses”), many of which are offered via desktop applications or cloud-based delivery models.  These other products and services are offered separately, in customizable bundles, or along with PEO HR Outsourcing solutions.

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Insperity and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned.  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, 2014 . Our Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2014 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 Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2015 and our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , and our Consolidated Statement of Stockholders’ Equity for the nine month period ended September 30, 2015 , have been prepared by us without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows, have been made.

The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for a full year or of future operations.

2.
Accounting Policies

Health Insurance Costs

We provide group health insurance coverage to our worksite employees through a national network of carriers, including UnitedHealthcare (“United”), UnitedHealthcare of California, Kaiser Permanente, Blue Shield of California, HMSA BlueCross BlueShield, Unity Health Plan and Tufts, all of which provide fully insured policies or service contracts.

The policy with United provides the majority of our health insurance coverage. As a result of certain contractual terms, we have accounted for this plan since its inception using a partially self-funded insurance accounting model. Accordingly, we record the costs of the United plan, including an estimate of the incurred claims, taxes and administrative fees (collectively the “Plan Costs”) as benefits expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.  The estimated incurred claims are based upon: (i) the level of claims processed during the quarter; (ii) estimated completion rates based upon recent claim development patterns under the plan; and (iii) 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 Plan Costs.

- 10 -



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 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 Consolidated Balance Sheets. The terms of the arrangement require us to maintain an accumulated cash surplus in the plan of $9.0 million , which is reported as long-term prepaid insurance. In addition, United requires a deposit equal to approximately one day of claims funding activity, which was $3.5 million as of September 30, 2015 , and is reported as a long-term asset. As of September 30, 2015 , Plan Costs were less than the net premiums paid and owed to United by $17.8 million . As this amount is in excess of the agreed-upon $9.0 million surplus maintenance level, the $8.8 million balance is included in prepaid insurance, a current asset, in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The premiums owed to United at September 30, 2015 were $8.9 million , which is included in accrued health insurance costs, a current liability in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Benefits costs include changes in estimated claims run-off related to prior periods and consisted of a reduction of $0.8 million for the first nine of months of 2015 and an increase of $2.4 million for the first nine months of 2014 .

Workers’ Compensation Costs

Our workers’ compensation coverage has been provided through an arrangement with the ACE Group of Companies (the “ACE Program”) since 2007. The ACE Program is fully insured in that ACE has the responsibility to pay all claims incurred regardless of whether we satisfy our responsibilities. We bear the economic burden for the first $1 million layer of claims per occurrence, as well as a maximum aggregate amount of $5 million per policy year for those claims that exceed $1 million . The insurance carrier bears responsibility for the claims in excess of such amounts.

Because we bear the economic burden 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 employ a third party actuary to estimate our loss development rate, which is primarily based upon the nature of worksite employees’ job responsibilities, the location of worksite employees, 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, 2015 and 2014 , we reduced our workers’ compensation costs by $0.5 million and $3.0 million , respectively, for changes in estimated losses related to prior reporting 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 both the 2015 period and the 2014 period was 1.0% ) and are accreted over the estimated claim payment period and included as a component of direct costs in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The current portion of accrued workers’ compensation costs on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 30, 2015 includes $2.7 million of workers’ compensation administrative fees.

As of September 30, 2015 and 2014 , the undiscounted accrued workers’ compensation costs were $164.7 million and $140.0 million , respectively.

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 worksite employee 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 Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the first nine months of 2015 , we received $5.3 million for the return of excess claim funds related to the workers’ compensation program, which resulted in a decrease to deposits. During the first nine months of 2014 , we paid the insurance carrier $7.2 million in claim funds for prior policy years, which increased deposits. As of September 30, 2015 , we had restricted cash of $43.1 million and deposits - workers’ compensation of $121.2 million .

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 Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Our cash and overnight holdings fluctuate based on the timing of clients’ payroll processing cycles.  Included in the cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , are $99.4 million and $152.1 million , respectively, of funds associated with federal and state income tax withholdings, employment taxes and other payroll deductions, as well as $40.5 million and $87.9 million in client prepayments, respectively.

We account for our financial assets in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification 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

The municipal bond securities valued as Level 2 investments are primarily pre-refunded municipal bonds that are secured by escrow funds containing U.S. Government securities. 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.

Impairment Charges and Other

In the first quarter of 2015, we entered into a plan to sell our two aircraft, and as a result, we recorded impairment and other charges of $9.8 million , representing the difference between the carrying value and the estimated fair value of the assets as well as a provision for potential settlement of a Texas sales and use tax assessment. In July 2015, we received proceeds, net of selling costs, of $12.2 million for both aircraft. As a result, we recorded an additional $1.3 million impairment charge in the second quarter of 2015.
During the second quarter of 2014, impairment indicators were identified in our Employment Screening business, which is a discrete reporting unit, due to changes in management, the reporting unit’s financial results and the loss of certain customers. As a result, at that time, we performed impairment tests for our Employment Screening business’ long-lived assets and goodwill and concluded that the assets were impaired. The impairments resulted primarily from lower projected revenue growth rates and profitability levels. Accordingly, in the second quarter of 2014, we recognized intangible asset impairments of $0.7 million and, upon completion of step two of the goodwill impairment test, we recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $1.8 million . The fair values of the long-lived assets and reporting unit were estimated using discounted cash flow models,

- 14 -


which we believed appropriately estimated the fair values of the long-lived assets and reporting unit. The material assumptions used in the models included the weighted average cost of capital and long-term growth rates.  We considered these to be Level 3 fair value measures.

5.
Revolving Credit Facility

We have a $125 million revolving credit facility (the “Facility”), which may be increased to $150 million based on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the agreement relating to the Facility (the “Credit Agreement”). The Facility matures in February 2020.  The Facility contains both affirmative and negative covenants, which we believe are customary for arrangements of this nature.  At September 30, 2015 , we were in compliance with all financial covenants under the Credit Agreement and had not drawn on the Facility. As of September 30, 2015 , we had an outstanding $0.6 million letter of credit issued under the Facility.

6.
Stockholders' Equity

Our Board of Directors (the “Board”) has authorized a program to repurchase shares of our outstanding common stock (“Repurchase Program”).  The purchases are to be made from time to time in the open market or directly from stockholders at prevailing market prices based on market conditions and other factors. In May 2015, the Board increased the authorized number of shares to be repurchased under the Repurchase Program by one million .  During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , 1,065,692 shares were repurchased under the Repurchase Program and 114,523 shares not subject to the Repurchase Program were withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations for the vesting of restricted stock awards.  As of September 30, 2015 , we were authorized to repurchase an additional 703,073 shares under the Repurchase Program.

The Board declared quarterly dividends as follows:

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , we paid dividends totaling $15.8 million and $14.0 million , respectively.

7.
Long-Term Incentive Plan

On March 30, 2015, we adopted the Insperity, Inc. Long-Term Incentive Program (the “LTIP”) under the Insperity, Inc. 2012 Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The LTIP provides for performance-based long-term compensation awards in the form of performance units to certain employees based on the achievement of pre-established performance goals.

Also on March 30, 2015, we granted performance units under the LTIP to our named executive officers and certain other officers. The total number of performance units granted based on the expected performance target level was 103,450 . Each performance unit represents the right to receive one common share at a future date based on our performance against specified targets. Performance units have a vesting schedule of three years. The fair value of each performance unit is the market price of one common share on the date of grant. The compensation expense for such awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting terms. Over the performance period, the number of shares expected to be issued is adjusted upward or downward based upon the probability of achievement of the performance targets. The ultimate number of shares issued and the related compensation cost recognized is based on a comparison of the final performance metrics to the specified targets. As of September 30, 2015 , the unrecognized compensation cost was $8.0 million .

8.
Net Income per Share

We utilize the two-class method to compute net income per share.  The two-class method allocates a portion of net income to participating securities, which include unvested awards of share-based payments with non-forfeitable rights to receive dividends.  Net income allocated to unvested share-based payments is excluded from net income allocated to common shares.  Any undistributed losses resulting from dividends exceeding net income are not allocated to participating securities.  Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income allocated to common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income allocated to common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, plus the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options.

The following table summarizes the net income allocated to common shares and the basic and diluted shares used in the net income per share computations:

Commitments and Contingencies

We are a defendant in various lawsuits and claims arising in the normal course of business.  Management believes it has valid defenses in these cases and is defending them vigorously.  While the results of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes the final outcome of such litigation will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

Federal Unemployment Taxes

Employers in certain states are experiencing higher Federal Unemployment Tax Act (“FUTA”) tax rates as a result of certain states not repaying their unemployment loans from the federal government in a timely manner. The Benefit Cost Ratio Add-On (“BCR”) is an additional tax on the FUTA wage base for employers in states that continue to have outstanding federal unemployment insurance loans beginning with the fifth year in which there is a balance due on the loan. States have the option to apply for a waiver before July 1 st of the year in which the BCR is applicable. Four states are at risk for assessment of the BCR in 2015. We expect most states will be notified by the federal government in the fourth quarter of 2015 if a waiver has been granted in response to the state’s application. Accordingly, the potential additional FUTA tax associated with worksite employees in these four states was approximately $3.5 million as of September 30, 2015 .

Generally, our contractual agreements allow us to incorporate such increases into our service fees upon the effective date of the rate change.  However, our ability to fully adjust service fees in our billing systems and collect such increases over the remaining term of the customers’ contracts could be limited, resulting in a potential tax increase not being fully recovered.  As a result, if these FUTA tax increases are instituted and not collected from our clients, such increases could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

Our growth in the number of worksite employees paid is affected by three primary sources: new client sales, client retention and the net change in existing clients through worksite employee new hires and layoffs.  During the third quarter of 2015 , we saw improvement in worksite employees paid from each of these sources as compared to the third quarter of 2014 .

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the third quarter of 2015 increased 5.9% over the third quarter of 2014 to $106.7 million .  The average gross profit per worksite employee decreased 6.3% to $239 per month in the 2015 period from $255 per month in the 2014 period.  Included in gross profit in both the 2015 and 2014 periods is an $18 per worksite employee per month contribution from our Strategic Businesses.

Our pricing objectives attempt to maintain or improve the gross profit per worksite employee by maintaining revenue per worksite employee to match or exceed changes in primary direct costs and operating expenses.  Our revenues per worksite employee per month during the third quarter of 2015 decreased 1.4% compared to the third quarter of 2014 . Our direct costs, which primarily include payroll taxes, benefits and workers’ compensation expenses, decreased 0.3% to $1,161 per worksite employee per month in the third quarter of 2015 compared to $1,165 in the third quarter of 2014 .  The primary direct cost components changed as follows:

Benefits costs – The cost of group health insurance and related employee benefits decreased $1 per worksite employee per month, but increased 1.9% on a cost per covered employee basis, compared to the third quarter of 2014 . Our benefits costs incurred in the third quarter of 2015 reflect favorable claim trends due to reductions in COBRA participation levels. Included in 2014 benefits costs is a reduction of $6.4 million, or $16 per worksite employee per

- 18 -


month for changes in estimated claims run-off related to prior periods. The percentage of worksite employees covered under our health insurance plans was 69.7% in the 2015 period compared to 71.2% in the 2014 period. Please read Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “ Accounting Policies – Health Insurance Costs,” for a discussion of our accounting for health insurance costs.

Workers’ compensation costs – Workers’ compensation costs increased 15.5% , or $1 per worksite employee per month, compared to the third quarter of 2014 , primarily due to a 13.3% increase in the average number of worksite employees paid per month.  As a percentage of non-bonus payroll cost, workers’ compensation costs were 0.70% in the 2015 period compared to 0.68% in the 2014 period. Please read Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “ Accounting Policies – Workers’ Compensation Costs,” for a discussion of our accounting for workers’ compensation costs.

Payroll tax costs – Payroll taxes increased 12.8% , but decreased $2 on a per worksite employee per month basis, compared to the third quarter of 2014 , primarily due to a 14.2% increase in payroll costs, partially offset by lower unemployment tax rates. Payroll taxes as a percentage of payroll cost were 6.3% in both the 2015 and the 2014 periods.

Operating expenses increased 0.5% to $86.8 million compared to $86.4 million in the third quarter of 2014 . Operating expenses per worksite employee per month decreased to $194 in the 2015 period from $218 in the 2014 period. The components of operating expenses changed as follows:

Salaries, wages and payroll taxes of corporate and sales staff increased 3.9% , but decreased $10 on a per worksite employee per month basis, compared to the 2014 period.  This increase was primarily due to a 4.1% increase in corporate headcount, primarily due to a 16.5% increase in the number of Business Performance Advisors.

Stock-based compensation increased 37.4% , or $1 per worksite employee per month, compared to the 2014 period.  This increase was primarily due to awards issued under the new Insperity, Inc. Long-Term Incentive Program (the “LTIP”). Please read Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “ Long-Term Incentive Plan ,” for additional information.

Commissions expense increased 19.2% , but remained flat on a per worksite employee per month basis, compared to the 2014 period, primarily due to commissions associated with our PEO HR Outsourcing solutions.

Advertising costs decreased 26.8% , or $4 per worksite employee per month, compared to the 2014 period, primarily due to reduced spending on radio and television advertising.

General and administrative expenses decreased 5.4% , or $8 per worksite employee per month, compared to the 2014 period, due in part to lower spending on professional fees and on repair and maintenance costs associated with the two aircraft sold in July 2015. Please read Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “ Impairment Charges and Other ,” for additional information


- 19 -


Depreciation and amortization expense decreased 15.4% , or $3 per worksite employee per month compared to the 2014 period, primarily due to the July 2015 sale of our two aircraft, which eliminated the depreciation on those assets. Please read Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “ Impairment Charges and Other ,” for additional information.

Income Tax Expense

Our effective income tax rate was 40.1% in the 2015 period compared to 42.2% in the 2014 period.  Our provision for income taxes differed from the U.S. statutory rate of 35% primarily due to state income taxes and non-deductible expenses.

Operating and Net Income

Operating and net income per worksite employee per month was $45 and $27 in the 2015 period, versus $37 and $21 in the 2014 period.

Our growth in the number of worksite employees paid is affected by three primary sources: new client sales, client retention and the net change in existing clients through worksite employee new hires and layoffs.  During the first nine months of 2015 , we saw improvement in worksite employees paid from each of these sources as compared to the first nine months of 2014 .

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the first nine months of 2015 increased 12.7% compared to the first nine months of 2014 to $340.8 million .  The average gross profit per worksite employee increased 1.1% to $264 per month in the 2015 period from $261 per month in the 2014 period.  Included in gross profit in 2015 is a $17 per worksite employee per month contribution from our Strategic Businesses compared to $16 per worksite employee per month in the 2014 period.


- 21 -


Our pricing objectives attempt to maintain or improve the gross profit per worksite employee by maintaining revenue per worksite employee to match or exceed changes in primary direct costs and operating expenses.  Our revenues during the first nine months of 2015 decreased 0.5% per worksite employee per month compared to the first nine months of 2014 . Our direct costs, which primarily include payroll taxes, benefits and workers’ compensation expenses, decreased 0.8% to $1,250 per worksite employee per month in the first nine months of 2015 compared to $1,260 in the first nine months of 2014 .  The primary direct cost components changed as follows:

Benefits costs – The cost of group health insurance and related employee benefits decreased $12 per worksite employee per month, or 0.2% on a cost per covered employee basis, compared to the first nine months of 2014 .  Our benefits costs incurred in the first nine months of 2015 reflect reductions in COBRA participation levels and includes a reduction in estimated claims run-off related to prior periods of $0.8 million , or $1 per worksite employee per month. Benefits costs incurred in the first nine months of 2014 included an increase in estimated claims run-off related to prior periods of $2.4 million , or $2 per worksite employee per month. The percentage of worksite employees covered under our health insurance plans was 70.5% in the 2015 period compared to 71.7% in the 2014 period. Please read Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “ Accounting Policies – Health Insurance Costs,” for a discussion of our accounting for health insurance costs.

Workers’ compensation costs – Workers’ compensation costs increased 20.9% , or $4 per worksite employee per month, compared to the first nine months of 2014 , primarily due to higher incurred claim levels and an 11.4% increase in the average number of worksite employees paid per month.  As a percentage of non-bonus payroll cost, workers’ compensation costs were 0.70% in the 2015 period compared to 0.65% in the 2014 period.  Please read Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “ Accounting Policies – Workers’ Compensation Costs,” for a discussion of our accounting for workers’ compensation costs.

Payroll tax costs – Payroll taxes increased 11.1% , but decreased $1 per worksite employee per month, compared to the first nine months of 2014 , primarily due to a 12.4% increase in payroll costs, partially offset by lower unemployment tax rates. Payroll taxes as a percentage of payroll cost were 7.3% in the 2015 period and 7.4% in the 2014 period.

Operating expenses increased 6.4% to $285.1 million compared to $268.0 million in the first nine months of 2014 .  We recorded impairment and other charges of $11.1 million and $2.5 million during first nine months of 2015 and 2014, respectively. Please read Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “ Impairment Charges and Other ,” for additional information. Adjusted operating expenses increased 2.6% to $272.5 million from $265.5 million in the first nine months of 2014 . Please read “Non-GAAP Financial Measures,” for additional information. Operating expenses per worksite employee per month decreased to $221 in the 2015 period from $231 in the 2014 period. The components of operating expenses changed as follows:

Salaries, wages and payroll taxes of corporate and sales staff increased 6.8% , but decreased $5 on a per worksite employee per month basis, compared to the 2014 period. This increase was primarily due to higher incentive

- 22 -


compensation accruals as a result of improved operating results and a 2.1% rise in corporate headcount, primarily due to an 11.2% increase in the number of Business Performance Advisors.

Stock-based compensation increased 21.9% , or $1 per worksite employee per month, compared to the 2014 period.  This increase was primarily due to awards issued under the new LTIP. Please read Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “ Long-Term Incentive Plan ,” for additional information.

Commissions expense increased 20.2% , or $1 per worksite employee per month, compared to the 2014 period, primarily due to commissions associated with our PEO HR Outsourcing solutions.

Advertising costs decreased 19.3% , or $5 per worksite employee per month, compared to the 2014 period, primarily due to reduced spending on radio and television advertising and sponsorships.

General and administrative expenses, which includes $1.5 million in stockholder advisory expenses in the 2015 period, decreased 0.9% , or $6 per worksite employee per month compared to the 2014 period. This decrease was due in part to lower consulting and professional fees.

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased 9.3% , or $3 per worksite employee per month compared to the 2014 period, primarily due to the July 2015 sale of our two aircraft, which eliminated the depreciation on those assets. Please read Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “ Impairment Charges and Other ,” for additional information.

Income Tax Expense

Our effective income tax rate was 40.6% in the 2015 period compared to 42.6% in the 2014 period.  Our provision for income taxes differed from the U.S. statutory rate of 35% primarily due to state income taxes, non-deductible expenses, and the effects of the impairment charges recorded during the period.

Operating and Net Income

Operating and net income per worksite employee per month was $43 and $26 in the 2015 period, versus $30 and $17 in the 2014 period.

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-bonus payroll cost is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the impact of bonus payrolls paid to our worksite employees.  Bonus payroll cost varies from period to period, but has no direct impact to our ultimate workers’ compensation costs under the current program.  As a result, 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.

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, potential acquisitions and other operating cash needs.  To meet short-term liquidity requirements, which are primarily the payment of direct and operating expenses, we rely primarily on cash from operations.  Longer-term projects or significant acquisitions may be financed with debt or equity.  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 $210.8 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at September 30, 2015 , of which approximately $99.4 million was payable in early October 2015 for withheld federal and state income taxes, employment taxes and other payroll deductions, and approximately $40.5 million were customer prepayments that were payable in October 2015 .  At September 30, 2015 , we had working capital of $76.4 million compared to $73.1 million at December 31, 2014 .  We currently believe that our cash on hand, marketable securities, cash flows from operations and availability under our credit facility will be adequate to meet our liquidity requirements for the remainder of 2015 .  We will rely on these same sources, as well as public and private debt or equity financing, to meet our longer-term liquidity and capital needs.

We have a $125 million revolving credit facility (“Facility”) with a syndicate of financial institutions.  The Facility is available for working capital and general corporate purposes, including acquisitions. As of September 30, 2015 , we had an outstanding $0.6 million letter of credit issued under the Facility. Please read Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “ Revolving Credit Facility ,” for additional information.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities in the first nine months of 2015 was $25.7 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 levels – We typically collect our comprehensive service fee, along with the client’s payroll funding, from clients at least one day prior to the payment of worksite employee 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 worksite employees are paid on Fridays; therefore, operating cash flows decrease in the reporting periods that end on a Friday or a Monday.  In the period ended September 30, 2015 , the last business day of the reporting period was a Wednesday , client prepayments were $40.5 million and accrued worksite employee payroll was $252.0 million .  In the period ended September 30, 2014 , the last business day of the reporting period was a Tuesday , client prepayments were $18.3 million and accrued worksite employee payroll was $211.0 million .

Workers’ compensation plan funding – Under our workers’ compensation insurance arrangements, we make monthly payments to the carriers comprised of premium costs and funds to be set aside for payment of future claims (“claim funds”).  These pre-determined amounts are stipulated in our agreements with the carriers, and are based primarily on

- 26 -


anticipated worksite employee payroll levels and workers’ compensation loss rates during the policy year.  Changes in payroll levels from those that were anticipated in the arrangements can result in changes in the amount of cash payments, which will impact our reporting of operating cash flows.  Our claim funds paid, based upon anticipated worksite employee payroll levels and workers’ compensation loss rates, were $40.1 million in the first nine months of 2015 and $40.9 million in the first nine months of 2014 .  However, our estimate of workers’ compensation loss costs was $47.8 million in the 2015 period and $37.7 million in the 2014 period, respectively. During the first nine months of 2015 , we received $5.3 million for the return of excess claim funds related to the workers’ compensation program. This resulted in an increase to working capital. During the first nine months of 2014, we paid the insurance carrier an additional $7.2 million in claim funds for prior policy years.

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.  At September 30, 2015 , premiums owed and cash funded to United have exceeded Plan Costs, resulting in a $17.8 million surplus, $8.8 million of which is reflected as a current asset, and $9.0 million of which is reflected as a long-term asset on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.  The premiums owed to United at September 30, 2015 , were $8.9 million , which is included in accrued health insurance costs, a current liability, on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Funding rates, as determined by United, resulted in an additional quarterly premium of $6.2 million at September 30, 2015 as compared to $20.1 million in additional quarterly premium at September 30, 2014 .

Operating results – Our net income has a significant impact on our operating cash flows.  Our net income increased 66.6% to $33.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , compared to $19.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 , due to higher gross profit. Please read “Results of Operations Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014 .”

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash flows provided by investing activities were $20.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , primarily due to $12.2 million of proceeds from the sale of two aircraft and $18.1 million of marketable securities maturities and dispositions, net of purchases. These inflows were partially offset by property and equipment purchases of $10.0 million .

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash flows used in financing activities were $69.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , including $58.6 million in stock repurchases and $15.8 million in dividends paid.

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 and our available-for-sale marketable securities.   In addition, borrowings under our Facility bear interest at a variable market rate.  As of September 30, 2015 , we had an outstanding $0.6 million letter of credit issued under the Facility. Please read Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “ Revolving Credit Facility ,” 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.  The 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 tax-exempt short and intermediate-term debt securities, which are primarily pre-refunded municipal bonds that are secured by escrow funds containing U.S. Government securities.

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

In accordance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15, 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

- 27 -


evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2015 .
There has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2015 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

Please read Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “ Commitments and Contingencies ,” which is incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS.

Forward-Looking Statements

The statements contained herein that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws (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 “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “projects,” “believes,” “estimates,” “likely,” “possibly,” “probably,” “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, Insperity, Inc., in an effort to help keep our stockholders and the public informed about our operations, may from time to time issue such forward-looking statements, either orally or in writing. 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. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties 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: (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) 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; (v) failure to manage growth of our operations and the effectiveness of our sales and marketing efforts; (vi) the impact of the competitive environment in the PEO industry on our growth and/or profitability; (vii) our liability for worksite employee payroll, payroll taxes and benefits costs; (viii) our liability for disclosure of sensitive or private information; (ix) our ability to integrate or realize expected returns on our acquisitions; (x) failure of our information technology systems; (xi) an adverse final judgment or settlement of claims against Insperity; and (xii) disruptions to our business resulting from the actions of certain stockholders. These factors are discussed in further detail in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K under “Factors That May Affect Future Results and the Market Price of Common Stock” on page 18, 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.

Our Board has approved a program to repurchase shares of our outstanding common stock, including an additional one million shares authorized for repurchase in May 2015.  During the three months ended September 30, 2015 , 534,759 shares were repurchased under the program and 164 shares were withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations for the vesting of restricted stock awards.  As of September 30, 2015 , we were authorized to repurchase an additional 703,073 shares under the program. Unless terminated earlier by resolution of the Board, the repurchase program will expire when we have repurchased all shares authorized for repurchase under the repurchase program.

(2)
These shares include shares of restricted stock that were withheld to satisfy tax-withholding obligations arising in conjunction with the vesting of restricted stock.  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 described above.
