Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Executive Summary
Overview
We are a leading provider of human resources (HR) solutions for small to midsize businesses (SMBs). Under our co-employment model, we assume many of the complex and burdensome responsibilities of being an employer, helping our clients minimize employer-related risks and manage administrative and compliance responsibilities associated with employment.
We deliver a comprehensive suite of products and services which allow our clients and their worksite employees (WSEs) to administer and manage HR-related compensation and benefits, including payroll, health insurance and workers' compensation programs, through our technology platform.
Technology Platform
Our technology platform, with online and mobile tools allows our clients and WSEs to store, view and manage core HR information and administer a variety of HR transactions, such as payroll processing, tax administration, employee onboarding and termination, compensation reporting, expense management, and benefits enrollment and administration.
HR Expertise
We use the collective insights and experience of our teams of HR, benefits, risk management and compliance professionals to help clients mitigate many of the administrative, regulatory and practical risks associated with their responsibilities as employers, including talent management, recruiting and training, performance management, employee onboarding and terminations, benefits enrollment and support, claims administration and employment practices risk management. Under our vertical strategy, we tailor our product and service offerings to specific industries by identifying common needs and leveraging scale and shared experience to provide more efficient, relevant offerings.
Benefits
We offer our clients and WSEs access to a broad range of TriNet-sponsored benefit and insurance programs that many of our clients may be unable to obtain for their WSEs on their own and that are compliant with state, local, and federal regulations. Our insurance services offerings include plan design and administration, enrollment management, and WSE and client communications relating to our sponsored benefits and insurance programs.
We pay premiums to third-party insurance carriers for WSE insurance benefits and reimburse the insurance carriers and third-party administrators for claims payments made on our behalf within our insurance deductible layer, where applicable.
Compliance
Our products and services are designed to help our clients comply with local, state and federal employment and benefit laws. Often these changes are staggered and require additional guidance from a variety of local, state or federal agencies, making compliance a continuous challenge. We monitor employer-related developments and assist clients in complying with changing regulations and requirements at all levels, from changes in local minimum wage and family leave ordinances to sweeping reforms such as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). Each component of our HR solutions is designed with compliance in mind, whether it is payroll processing and tax administration, HR services focused on creating a compliant workplace, or offering ACA-compliant benefit plans.
We operate in one reportable segment. Less than 1% of revenue is generated outside of the U.S.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to financial measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we monitor other non-GAAP financial measures that we use to manage our business, make planning decisions, allocate resources and as performance measures in our executive compensation plan. These key financial measures provide an additional view of our operational performance over the long term and provide useful information that we use in order to maintain and grow our business.
The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is used to enhance the understanding of certain aspects of our financial performance. It is not meant to be considered in isolation, superior to, or as a substitute for the directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
|
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
|
|
|
Non-GAAP Measure
|
Definition
|
How We Use The Measure
|
|
Net Service Revenues
|
• Sum of professional service revenues and Net Insurance Service Revenues, or total revenues less insurance costs.
|
• Provides a comparable basis of revenues on a net basis. Professional service revenues are represented net of client payroll costs whereas insurance service revenues are presented gross of insurance costs for financial reporting purposes.
• Acts as the basis to allocate resources to different functions and evaluates the effectiveness of our business strategies by each business function, and
• Provides a measure, among others, used in the determination of incentive compensation for management.
|
|
Net Insurance Service Revenues
|
• Insurance revenues less insurance costs.
|
• Is a component of Net Service Revenues, and
• Provides a comparable basis of revenues on a net basis. Professional service revenues are represented net of client payroll costs whereas insurance service revenues are presented gross of insurance costs for financial reporting purposes. Promotes an understanding of our insurance services business by evaluating insurance service revenues net of our WSE related costs which are substantially pass-through for the benefit of our WSEs. Under GAAP, insurance service revenues and costs are recorded gross as we have latitude in establishing the price, service and supplier specifications.
|
|
Adjusted EBITDA
|
• Net income, excluding the effects of:
- income tax provision,
- interest expense,
- depreciation,
- amortization of intangible assets, and
- stock-based compensation expense.
|
• Provides period-to-period comparisons on a consistent basis and an understanding as to how our management evaluates the effectiveness of our business strategies by excluding certain non-cash charges such as depreciation and amortization, and stock-based compensation recognized based on the estimated fair values. We believe these charges are not directly resulting from our core operations or indicative of our ongoing operations.
• Enhances comparisons to prior periods and, accordingly, facilitates the development of future projections and earnings growth prospects, and
• Provides a measure, among others, used in the determination of incentive compensation for management.
|
|
Adjusted Net Income
|
• Net income, excluding the effects of:
- effective income tax rate
(1)
,
- stock-based compensation,
- amortization of intangible assets,
- non-cash interest expense
(2)
, and
- the income tax effect (at our effective tax rate
(1)
) of these pre-tax adjustments.
|
• Provides information to our stockholders and board of directors to understand how our management evaluates our business, to monitor and evaluate our operating results, and analyze profitability of our ongoing operations and trends on a consistent basis by excluding certain non-cash charges.
|
|
(1)
|
We have adjusted the non-GAAP effective tax rate to
40.5%
for 2017, from
42.5%
for 2016 due to a decrease in state income taxes from an increase in excludable income for state income tax purposes. These non-GAAP effective tax rates exclude the income tax impact from stock-based compensation and changes in uncertain tax positions.
|
|
(2)
|
Non-cash interest expense represents amortization and write-off of our debt issuance costs.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
|
|
Historically, Total WSE comparisons have served as an indicator of our success in growing our business, both organically and through the integration of acquired businesses, and retaining clients. Average WSE growth is another volume measure we use to monitor the performance of our business. However, anticipated revenues for future periods can diverge from total WSEs paid due to pricing differences across our HR solutions and services. In addition to driving the growth in WSE count, we also focus on pricing strategies and product differentiation to maximize our revenue opportunities. Average monthly total revenues per WSE, as a measure to monitor the success of such pricing strategies, have increased
7%
in the first quarter of
2017
compared to the same period in
2016
.
Professional Service Revenues (PSR)
Professional service revenues represented
15%
of total revenues with growth of
7%
in the
first
quarter of
2017
. The growth in professional service revenues was driven by
3%
growth in Average WSEs, as well as an increase in professional service revenues per Average WSE during the
first
quarter of
2017
compared to the same period in
2016
.
Insurance Service Revenues (ISR)
Insurance service revenues represented
85%
of total revenues with growth of
11%
in the
first
quarter of
2017
. The growth in insurance service revenues was attributable to
3%
growth in Average WSEs, as well as an increase in insurance service revenues per Average WSE for the
first
quarter of
2017
, compared to the same period in
2016
.

offices across the U.S. Our corporate employees' compensation related expenses represent

, respectively.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
|
|
We manage other operating expenses and allocate resources across different business functions based on percentage of Net Service Revenues. This ratio has
decrease
d to
71%
in the
first
quarter of
2017
from
79%
in the same period in
2016
due to our revenues rising faster in the quarter than other operating expenses. The primary drivers of the change in other operating expenses were:
Q1
2017
- Q1
2016
Commentary
Other operating expenses increased
$13.5 million
or
11%
in the
first
quarter of
2017
compared to the same period in
2016
as part of our continued investment in supporting our infrastructure and improving the experience for our clients. Specific costs changed in the
first
quarter of 2017 compared to the same period in
2016
as follows:
|
•
|
Compensation costs for our corporate employees included payroll, payroll taxes, stock-based compensation, bonuses, commissions and other payroll and benefits related costs. Total compensation costs
increase
d
$6.3 million
or
7%
primarily due to increased headcount related to investments in client service and technology functions to support product delivery and platform integration.
|
|
•
|
Consulting expenses increased
$4.0 million
and included costs associated with reviewing and administering our insurance programs, as well enhancing our product offerings.
|
|
•
|
Accounting and other professional fees
decrease
d
$2.3 million
in the first quarter of
2017
primarily as a result of the timing of audit costs and professional fees to support our efforts to remediate internal controls.
|
|
•
|
Other expenses
increase
d
$5.5 million
in the first quarter of
2017
primarily due to additional compliance costs and external sales costs.
|
We expect our operating expenses to continue to increase in the foreseeable future due to expected growth, our strategy to develop new vertical products and platform integrations, and additional costs associated with our internal control remediation efforts. We will continue to improve our systems, processes and internal controls to gain efficiencies. These expenses may fluctuate as a percentage of our total revenues from period-to-period depending on the timing of those expenses.

Amortization of Intangible Assets
Amortization of intangible assets represents costs associated with acquired companies' developed technologies, client lists, trade names and contractual agreements. Amortization expenses
decrease
d
73%
in the
first
quarter of
2017
compared to the same period in
2016
as a result of the revision to the expected useful life in October 2016 of certain client lists and trademarks related to our previous acquisitions and expiration of other acquisition related intangible assets.
Depreciation
Depreciation expense
increase
d
57%
in the
first
quarter of
2017
compared to the same period in
2016
, which was a result of our additional investment in technology products and platforms.
Other Income (Expense)
Other income (expense) consists primarily of interest expense under our credit facility, which
decrease
d
6%
in the
first
quarter of
2017
compared to the same period in
2016
due to a decreasing principal balance on our outstanding debt.
Provision for Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate (ETR) was
36.0%
for the
first
quarter of
2017
, compared to an ETR of
44.4%
for the same period in
2016
. The
8.4%
decrease
in ETR is primarily due to the following:
|
•
|
7.9%
, or
$3.6 million
, decrease attributable to tax benefits recognized upon the adoption of Accounting Standards Update 2016-09 -
Stock Compensation
and additionally described in Note 1 of our
condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes
|
|
•
|
3.2%
decrease in state income taxes from an increase in excludable income for state income tax purposes and changes in apportionment and statutory tax rates, and a
|
|
•
|
1.5%
remaining decrease resulting from an increase in tax credits and decrease in non-deductible stock-based compensation, partially offset by a
|
|
•
|
4.2%
increase due to changes in uncertain tax positions where we may not prevail in our position associated with state income tax audits.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
We manage our liquidity separately between assets and liabilities that are WSE related from our corporate assets and liabilities.
WSE related assets and liabilities primarily consist of current assets and current liabilities resulting from transactions directly or indirectly associated with WSEs, including payroll and related taxes and withholdings, our sponsored workers' compensation and health insurance programs, and other benefit programs. Our cash flows related to WSE payroll and benefits is generally matched by advance collection from our clients which is reported as payroll funds collected within WSE related assets.
We report our corporate cash and cash equivalents on the condensed consolidated balance sheets separately from WSE related assets. We rely on our corporate cash and cash equivalents and cash from operations to satisfy our operational and regulatory requirements and to fund capital expenditures. We believe that we have sufficient corporate liquidity and capital resources to satisfy future requirements and meet our obligations to clients, creditors and debt holders.
Our liquid assets are as follows:

We had corporate cash and cash equivalents of
$216.1 million
and
$184.0 million
as of
March 31, 2017
and
December 31, 2016
, respectively. The increase was primarily due to the cash generated from operations during the
first
quarter of
2017
. We believe that our existing corporate cash and cash equivalents, working capital and cash provided by operating activities will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs for at least the next
12 months
.
We manage our sponsored benefit and workers' compensation insurance obligations by maintaining funds in restricted cash, cash equivalents and investments as collateral. As of
March 31, 2017
, we had
$136.9 million
of restricted cash, cash equivalents and investments included in WSE related assets and
$127.7 million
of marketable securities designated as long-term restricted cash, cash equivalents and investments on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. These collateral amounts are generally determined at the beginning of each plan year and we may be required by our insurance carriers to adjust the balance when facts and circumstances change. We regularly review our collateral balances with our insurance carriers, and anticipate funding further collateral as needed based on program development.
Capital Resources
We believe that we can meet our present and reasonably foreseeable operating cash needs and future commitments through existing liquid assets, continuing cash flows from operations, our borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility and the potential issuance of debt or equity securities.
We maintain a
$75.0 million
revolving credit facility. The total unused portion of our revolving credit facility was
$59.5 million
as of
March 31, 2017
.

Cash Flows
We generated positive cash flows from operating activities in the
first
quarter of
2017
and
2016
. We also have the ability to generate cash through our financing arrangements under our revolving credit facility to meet short-term funding requirements. The following table presents our cash flow activities for the stated periods:

The period-to-period fluctuation in changes in other operating assets and liabilities is primarily driven by timing of payments related to WSE related assets and liabilities, our accounts payable and accrued expenses related to our trade creditors, and corporate employee compensation related payables.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities in the
first
quarter of
2017
and
2016
primarily consisted of cash paid for capital expenditures, offset partially by proceeds from the sales of investments.

|
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
|
|
to introduce new products, enhance existing products and platforms, as well as complete platform integrations. We expect capital investments in our software and hardware to continue in the future.
We invest cash held as collateral to satisfy our long-term obligation towards the workers' compensation liabilities in U.S. long-term treasuries and mutual funds. We review the amount of investment and the anticipated holding period is reviewed regularly in conjunction with our estimated long-term workers' compensation liabilities and anticipated claims payment trend.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities in the
first
quarter of
2017
and
2016
consisted primarily of repurchases of our common stock and repayment of debt.
The board of directors from time to time authorizes stock repurchases of our outstanding common stock primarily to offset dilution from the issuance of stock under our equity-based incentive plan and employee stock purchase plan. During the
first
quarter of
2017
, we repurchased
1,085,325
shares of common stock for
$27.6 million
. As of
March 31, 2017
, approximately
$32.4 million
remained available for repurchase. Our debt repayments were also
$4.5 million
higher in the first quarter of 2017 compared to the same period of 2016.
Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and Judgments
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies as discussed in our 2016 Form 10-K.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Refer to
Note 1
in the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Form 10-Q.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
AND CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
|
|
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There has been no material change in our exposure to market risks from that discussed in Item 7A of our 2016 Form 10-K.
Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We have, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and our Chief Financial Officer (CFO), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of
March 31, 2017
. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of
March 31, 2017
, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as a result of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Notwithstanding the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, we have concluded that the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Additionally, the material weaknesses did not result in any restatements of our condensed consolidated financial statements or disclosures for any prior period.
Additional Analyses and Procedures and Remediation Plan
We are taking specific steps to remediate the material weaknesses identified by management and described in greater detail in our 2016 Form 10-K. Although we intend to complete the remediation process with respect to these material weaknesses as quickly as possible, we cannot at this time estimate how long it will take, and our remediation plan may not prove to be successful.
Because the reliability of the internal control process requires repeatable execution, the successful remediation of these material weaknesses will require review and evidence of effectiveness prior to concluding that the controls are effective and there is no assurance that additional remediation steps will not be necessary. As such, as we continue to evaluate and work to improve our internal control over financial reporting, our management may decide to take additional measures to address the material weaknesses or modify the remediation steps already underway. As noted above, although we plan to complete the remediation process as quickly as possible, we cannot at this time estimate how long it will take, and our initiatives may not prove to be successful. Accordingly, until these weaknesses are remediated, we plan to perform additional analyses and other procedures to ensure that our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Other than the remediation efforts underway, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended
March 31, 2017
, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Description of Business
TriNet Group Inc. (TriNet, or the Company, we, our and us), a professional employer organization (PEO) founded in 1988, provides comprehensive human resources (HR) solutions for small to midsize businesses (SMBs) under a co-employment model. These HR solutions include bundled services, such as multi-state payroll processing and tax administration, employee benefits programs, including health insurance and retirement plans, workers' compensation insurance and claims management, employment and benefit law compliance, and other services. Through the co-employment relationship, we are the employer of record for most administrative and regulatory purposes, including:
|
•
|
compensation through wages and salaries,
|
|
•
|
employer payroll-related taxes payment,
|
|
•
|
employee payroll-related taxes withholding and payment,
|
|
•
|
employee benefit programs including health and life insurance, and others, and
|
|
•
|
workers' compensation coverage.
|
Our clients are responsible for the day-to-day job responsibilities of the worksite employees (WSEs).
We operate in
one
reportable segment. All of our service revenues are generated from external clients. Less than 1%
of revenue is generated outside of the U.S.
Basis of Presentation
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (Financial Statements) and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial reporting and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and note disclosures included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the
first
quarter of
2017
are not necessarily indicative of the operating results anticipated for the full year. These Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2016
(
2016
Form 10-K).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and related disclosures. Significant estimates include:
|
•
|
liability for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses (loss reserves) related to workers' compensation and workers' compensation collateral receivable,
|
|
•
|
health insurance loss reserves,
|
|
•
|
liability for insurance premiums payable,
|
|
•
|
impairments of goodwill and other intangible assets,
|
|
•
|
income tax assets and liabilities, and
|
|
•
|
liability for legal contingencies.
|
These estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable from the facts available to us. Some of the assumptions are highly uncertain at the time of estimation. To the extent actual experience differs from the assumptions used, our consolidated financial statements could be materially affected.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently adopted accounting guidance
Share-based payments -
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09-
Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting
, as part of the Simplification Initiative to simplify certain aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions to employees. The new standard requires excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies to be recorded in the statements of income as a component of the provision for income taxes when stock awards vest or are settled. In addition, it eliminates the requirement to reclassify cash flows related to excess tax benefits from operating activities to financing activities on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. The standard also provides an accounting policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur, allows us to withhold more of an employee’s vesting shares for tax withholding purposes without triggering liability accounting, and clarifies that all cash payments made to tax authorities on an employee’s behalf for withheld shares should be presented as a financing activity on our cash flows statement. The new standard was effective for us beginning January 1, 2017.
Upon adoption, excess tax benefits or deficiencies from share-based award activity were reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of income as a component of the provision for income taxes, whereas they previously were recognized in equity. We also elected to account for forfeitures as they occur, rather than estimate expected forfeitures. The adoption of ASU 2016-09 resulted in a net cumulative-effect adjustment of
$0.3 million
, reflected as an increase to retained earnings as of January 1, 2017, mostly related to the recognition of the previously unrecognized excess tax benefits using the modified retrospective method. The previously unrecognized excess tax effects were recorded as an increase to deferred tax assets.
We adopted the aspects of the standard affecting the cash flow presentation retrospectively, and accordingly, to conform to the current year presentation, we reclassified
$0.5 million
of tax deficiencies under financing activities to operating activities for the period ended March 31, 2016, on our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. The presentation requirements for cash flows related to employee taxes paid for withheld shares had no impact to any of the periods presented on our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows since such cash flows have historically been presented as a financing activity.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
Lease arrangements -
In February 2016, the FASB, issued ASU 2016-02-
Leases.
The amendment requires that lease arrangements longer than 12 months result in an entity recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities. Most significant impact is on those leases classified as operating leases under previous U.S. GAAP. Under the new standard, disclosures are required to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases.
The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2018. We currently anticipate early adoption of the new standard effective January 1, 2018 in conjunction with our adoption of the new revenue standard. Our ability to early adopt is dependent on system readiness and the completion of our analysis of information necessary to restate prior period financial statements.
We anticipate this standard will have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. While we are continuing to assess all potential impacts of the standard, we currently believe the most significant impact relates to our accounting for equipment, office and data-center operating leases.
Financial Instruments -
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01-
Recognition and Measurement of Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities
. The amendment addresses various aspects of the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure for financial instruments. The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods, and
interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption by public entities is permitted
only for certain provisions. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
|
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
|
|
Revenue Recognition -
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09-
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
, which will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date to annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption at the original effective date of December 15, 2016 is permitted. The amendments may be applied retrospectively or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. In March, April and May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08
Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net),
ASU 2016-10
Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing,
ASU 2016-12
Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients
and ASU 2016-20 Technical Corrections and Improvements, respectively, providing further clarification to be considered when implementing ASU 2014-09. The guidance permits two methods of adoption: retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (full retrospective method), or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application (the cumulative catchup transition method). We currently anticipate adopting the standard using the full retrospective method to restate each prior reporting period presented.
The new standard will be effective for us beginning January 1, 2018. Our ability to adopt using the full retrospective method is dependent on system readiness and the completion of our analysis of information necessary to restate prior period financial statements.
We anticipate this standard will have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. While we are continuing to assess all potential impacts of the standard, we currently believe the adoption will have material impact on our accounting for sales commission expense, income tax provision and deferred taxes. We anticipate that certain client acquisition costs will be deferred over the expected client tenure. Additionally, we are assessing whether it remains appropriate to accrue assets and liabilities for unprocessed client payrolls where WSEs have performed work during the period. We expect our professional service revenues and insurance service revenues will remain substantially unchanged. The actual revenue recognition treatment required under the standard will be dependent on contract specific terms, and may vary in some instances from recognition at the time of billing.
Statement of Cash Flows -
In November and August 2016, the FASB issued (ASU) 2016-18 -
Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash
and 2016-15-
Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.
The new guidance is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how restricted cash and other certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, provided that all of the amendments are adopted in the same period. The guidance requires application using a retrospective transition method.
As of
March 31, 2017
and
December 31, 2016
, we had total restricted cash, restricted cash equivalents and payroll funds collected of
$811.5 million
and
$1.0 billion
, respectively. Currently, changes in these balances are presented as operating cash activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Under the new guidance, changes in these amounts will be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
Although there are several other new accounting pronouncements issued or proposed by the FASB, which we have adopted or will adopt, as applicable, we do not believe any of these other accounting pronouncements have had or will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, operating results or statements of cash flows.
|
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
|
|
Under the terms of the agreements with certain of our workers' compensation and health benefit insurance carriers, we are required to maintain collateral in trust accounts for the benefit of specified insurance carriers and to reimburse the carriers’ claim payments within our deductible layer. We invest a portion of the collateral amounts in marketable securities. We report the current portion of these trust accounts as restricted cash and cash equivalents in WSE related assets, and the long term portion as restricted cash, cash equivalents and investments on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
We require our clients to prefund their payroll and related taxes and other withholding liabilities before payroll is processed or due for payment. This amounts that are prefunded by clients are included in WSE related assets as payroll funds collected and are designated to pay pending payrolls and other WSE related liabilities.
Our total corporate and WSE related cash, cash equivalents and investments are summarized below:

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
|
|
WSE related assets and WSE related liabilities are intended to be reviewed together when considering the financial position of the Company. Our clients direct the price and service specifications for payroll and payroll taxes and as a result, we are not the primary obligor for payroll and payroll tax payments and therefore record these amounts net in our statements of income and comprehensive income. However, we record without offset, accrued wages and payroll tax liabilities for WSEs in WSE related liabilities with the related payroll funds collected and unbilled revenues in WSE related assets. We have classified these assets and liabilities and other service related amounts collectively as WSE related, to present a clearer picture of the inter-relationship of the balances and distinguish these from our other corporate assets and liabilities.
In addition to unbilled revenues, accrued wages and payroll tax liabilities, other significant balances included in the WSE related assets and liabilities include:
|
•
|
Payroll funds collected represents cash collected from clients in advance to fund payroll and payroll taxes, and other payroll related liabilities;
|
|
•
|
Other payroll assets primarily include payroll tax receivables;
|
|
•
|
Client deposits represent indemnity guarantee payments received from clients and collections from clients in excess of payroll and other payroll related liabilities;
|
|
•
|
Other payroll withholdings primarily include withholdings under 401(k) plans and flexible benefit plans.

Cash, Cash equivalents and Restricted Investments
We classify our cash, cash equivalents and restricted investments in marketable securities within Level I in the fair value hierarchy because we use quoted market prices to determine the fair value. We classify our certificates of deposit within Level II in the fair value hierarchy as we use a market approach that compares fair values on certificates with similar maturities. We have no available for sale securities included in Level III as of
March 31, 2017
and
December 31, 2016
. There was
no
transfer of any assets and liabilities between Levels during the three months ended
March 31, 2017
or the year ended
December 31, 2016

There were
no
realized gains or losses for the three months ended
March 31, 2017
and
2016
. We had
$0.1 million
gross unrealized losses in our U.S. Treasury securities as of
March 31, 2017
and
December 31, 2016
, respectively. The fair value of these securities in an unrealized loss position represented
84%
and
58%
of the total fair value of all U.S. Treasury securities as of
March 31, 2017
and
December 31, 2016
, respectively.
Unrealized losses are principally caused by changes in interest rates. In analyzing an issuer's financial condition, we consider whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and industry analysts' reports. As we have the ability and intent to hold these available for sale marketable securities until maturity, or for the foreseeable future, no decline was deemed to be other-than-temporary.
Notes Payable
The carrying value of our notes payable at
March 31, 2017
and
December 31, 2016
was
$453.4 million
and
$462.9 million
, respectively. The estimated fair values of our notes payable at
March 31, 2017
and
December 31, 2016
were
$454.2 million
and
$462.9 million
, respectively. These valuations are considered Level II in the hierarchy for fair value measurement and are based on quoted market prices.

shares of common stock for
$27.6 million
. As of

$32.4 million
remained available for further repurchases of our common stock under our ongoing stock repurchase program.

Our effective income tax rate was
36.0%
and
44.4%
for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. This decrease primarily includes a
7.9%
discrete tax benefit recognized upon adoption of ASU 2016-09 and a
2.1%
tax benefit from an increase in excludable income for state tax purposes which is partially offset by a discrete charge of
4.2%
due to changes in uncertain tax positions. The remaining decrease is attributable to nondeductible expenses, tax credits and disqualifying dispositions of previously nondeductible stock based compensation.
During the three months ended, March 31, 2017, our unrecognized tax benefits increased from
$0.9 million
to
$3.4 million
. Of the
$3.4 million
,
$1.9 million
would affect our tax expense, if recognized. Included in the
$1.9 million
is
$0.1
|
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
|
|
million
for interest and
$0.2 million
for penalties. Our unrecognized tax benefits are not expected to change significantly during the next 12 months.
We are subject to tax in U.S. federal and various state and local jurisdictions, as well as Canada. We are not subject to any material income tax examinations in federal or state jurisdictions for tax years prior to January 1, 2011. We previously paid Notices of Proposed Assessments disallowing employment tax credits totaling
$10.5 million
, plus interest and penalties of
$4.0 million
in connection with the IRS examination of Gevity HR, Inc. and its subsidiaries, which was acquired by TriNet in June 2009. This issue is being resolved through litigation. With regard to these employment tax credits, we believe it is more likely than not that we will prevail and realize our receivable included in other noncurrent assets without a charge to our statement of income. Therefore, no reserve has been recognized related to this matter.
Lease Commitments
We lease office facilities, including our headquarters and other facilities, and equipment under non-cancelable operating leases. For detail of these commitments refer to Note 13 in Part II, Item 8 in our 2016 Form 10-K.
Credit Facilities
We maintain a
$75.0 million
revolving credit facility which includes capacity for a
$40.0 million
letter of credit facility and a
$10.0 million
swingline facility. Letters of credit issued pursuant to the revolving credit facility reduce the amount available for borrowing under the revolving credit facility. The total unused portion of the revolving credit facility was
$59.5 million
as of
March 31, 2017
.
The terms of the credit agreement governing the revolving credit facility require us to maintain certain financial ratios at each quarter end. We were in compliance with these financial covenants at
March 31, 2017
.
We also have a $
5.0 million
line of credit facility to secure standby letters of credit related to our workers' compensation obligations. At
March 31, 2017
, the total unused portion of the credit facility was $
2.7 million
.
Standby Letters of Credit
We have
two
unused standby letters of credit totaling
$17.8 million
provided as collateral for our workers’ compensation obligations. At March 31, 2017, the facilities were not drawn down.
Contingencies
In August 2015, Howard Welgus, a purported stockholder, filed a putative securities class action lawsuit, Welgus v. TriNet Group, Inc. et. al., under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in the United States District Court (the Court) for the Northern District of California. The complaint was later amended in April 2016. The amended complaint generally alleges that TriNet and the other defendants caused damage to purchasers of our stock by misrepresenting and/or failing to disclose facts generally pertaining to alleged trends affecting health insurance and workers' compensation claims. The other defendants include certain of our officers and directors, General Atlantic, LLC, a former significant shareholder, and the underwriters of our IPO. In November 2016, the parties appeared at a hearing before the Court on our motion to dismiss the amended complaint in its entirety. In January 2017, the Court issued an order granting TriNet’s and the other defendants’ motions to dismiss. The Court dismissed the plaintiff’s claims in part with prejudice
and in part without. As a result, the Court gave the plaintiff until March 3, 2017 to file a second amended complaint with respect to claims not dismissed with prejudice. The plaintiff filed his second amended complaint on March 3, 2017. The defendants filed a motion to dismiss on April 17, 2017. The court set September 20, 2017 for a court hearing on the motion to dismiss. We are unable to reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of losses, if any, arising from this litigation.
We are and, from time to time,
have been and may in the future become involved in various litigation matters, legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of our business, including disputes with our clients or various class action, collective action, representative action and other proceedings arising from the nature of our co-employment relationship with our clients and WSEs in which we are named as a defendant. In addition, due to the nature of our
|
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
|
|
co-employment relationship with our clients and WSEs, we could be subject to liability for federal and state law violations, even if we do not participate in such violations. While our agreements with our clients contain indemnification provisions related to the conduct of our clients, we may not be able to avail ourselves of such provisions in every instance. We have accrued our current best estimates of probable losses with respect to these matters which are individually and in aggregate immaterial to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
While the outcome of the matters described above cannot be predicted with certainty, management currently does not believe that any such claims or proceedings or the above mentioned securities class action will have a materially adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, the unfavorable resolution of any particular matter or our reassessment of our exposure for any of the above matters based on additional information obtained in the future could have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

(2)
We repurchased a total of approximately $
27.6 million
of our outstanding common stock during the first quarter of 2017.
As of
March 31, 2017
we had approximately
$32.4 million
remaining for repurchases under our stock repurchase program. Stock repurchases under the program are primarily intended to offset the dilutive effect of share-based employee incentive compensation. The purchases were funded from existing cash and cash equivalents balances.
Our stock repurchases and dividends are subject to certain restrictions under the terms of our credit facility. For more information about our credit facility and our stock repurchases, refer to Notes 8 and 9 in Part II, Item 8 of our 2016 Form 10-K.
