**PART I**

Unless otherwise indicated, "Insperity," "we," "our" and "us" are used in this annual report to refer to Insperity, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. This annual report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). You can identify such forward-looking statements by the words "anticipates," "expects," "intends," "plans," "projects," "believes," "estimates," "likely," "possibly," "probably," "could," "goal," "opportunity," "objective," "target," "assume," "outlook," "guidance," "predicts," "appears," "indicator" and similar expressions. In the normal course of business, in an effort to help keep our stockholders and the public informed about our operations, from time to time, we may issue such forward-looking statements, either orally or in writing. Generally, these statements relate to business plans or strategies; projected or anticipated benefits or other consequences of such plans or strategies; or projections involving anticipated revenues, earnings, average number of worksite employees, benefits and workers' compensation costs, or other operating results. We base the forward-looking statements on our current expectations, estimates and projections. We caution you that these statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that we cannot predict. In addition, we have based many of these forward-looking statements on assumptions about future events that may prove to be inaccurate. Therefore, the actual results of the future events described in such forward-looking statements in this annual report, or elsewhere, could differ materially from those stated in such forward-looking statements. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are the risks and uncertainties discussed in this annual report, including, without limitation, factors discussed in <u>[Item 1, "Business,"](#i3eea848da3dc460fa42505481f4781c6_199)</u> <u>[Item 1A, "Risk Factors,"](#i3eea848da3dc460fa42505481f4781c6_202)</u> and <u>[Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."](#i3eea848da3dc460fa42505481f4781c6_340)</u>

**Item 1. Business.**

**General**

We provide an array of human resources ("HR") and business solutions designed to help improve business performance. Since our formation in 1986, we have evolved from being solely a professional employer organization ("PEO"), an industry we pioneered, to our current position as a comprehensive business performance solutions provider. Our long-term strategy is to provide the best small and medium-sized businesses in the United States with our specialized human resources service offerings and to leverage our buying power and expertise to provide additional valuable services to clients.

Our comprehensive HR services offerings are provided through our Insperity<sup>®</sup> **HR**360 solution (formerly Workforce Optimization<sup>®</sup>), our Insperity<sup>®</sup> **HR**360 Select Edition solution (formerly Workforce Synchronization<sup>TM</sup>), and our Insperity<sup>®</sup> **HR**Scale<sup>TM</sup> solution (together, our "PEO HR Solutions") which encompass a broad range of HR functions, please read "<u>[Service Offerings](#i80d3e1a322e5432bbd8216f8247b7f7d_81870)</u> — <u>[PEO HR Solutions](#i80d3e1a322e5432bbd8216f8247b7f7d_82770)</u>."

***HR****360.* Insperity's **HR**360 solution, our largest source of revenue, is offered to small and medium-sized businesses seeking a comprehensive people strategy. From payroll and employment administration, employee benefits, workers' compensation, government compliance, performance management to training and development, our **HR**360 solution offers a full range of services empowering clients to achieve a sophisticated HR function. **HR**360 provides access to our web-based human capital management platform, Insperity Premier<sup>TM</sup>.

***HR****360 Select Edition.* Insperity's **HR**360 Select Edition solution, which generally is offered only to our middle market client segment, is a lower cost offering with a typically longer commitment that includes the same compliance and administrative services as **HR**360 and allows those clients to select, for an additional fee, from the strategic HR products and services that are included with **HR**360. **HR**360 Select Edition provides access to our web-based human capital management platform, Insperity Premier.

***HR****Scale.* Insperity's **HR**Scale solution is our newest service offering that we jointly developed through our strategic partnership with Workday, Inc. ("Workday"). Insperity's **HR**Scale solution is intended for growing and middle market companies and provides access to the advanced capabilities of Workday Human Capital Management ("HCM"). Our **HR**Scale solution, which is priced higher than our **HR**360 offering, is designed to combine the HR expertise of our **HR**360 solution with the advanced capabilities of Workday HCM, with a focus on affordability, ease and speed of deployment, and agility as companies scale.

Our PEO HR Solutions are designed to improve the productivity and profitability of small and medium-sized businesses. These solutions relieve business owners and key executives of many employer-related administrative and regulatory burdens, which enables them to focus on the core competencies of their businesses. Our PEO HR Solutions also promote employee performance through human capital management techniques designed to improve employee engagement and satisfaction. We enter into a Client Service Agreement ("CSA") with each of our PEO HR Solutions clients under which we and our client act as co-employers of the employees who work at the client's worksite, or worksite employees ("WSEEs"). Under the CSA, we assume responsibility for personnel administration and assist our clients in complying with employment-related governmental regulations, while the client retains the employees' services in its business and remains the employer for other purposes. We charge a comprehensive service fee ("comprehensive service fee" or "gross billing"), which is invoiced concurrently with the processing of payroll for the WSEEs of the client. The comprehensive service fee consists of the payroll of our WSEEs plus an additional amount reflected as a percentage of the payroll cost of the WSEEs.

We accomplish the objectives of our PEO HR Solutions through a "high-touch/high-tech" approach to service delivery. In advisory areas, such as recruiting, employee performance management and employee training, we employ a high-touch approach designed to ensure that our clients receive the personal attention and expertise needed to create a tailored human resources solution. We utilize a variety of information technology capabilities to deliver our PEO HR Solutions, including our proprietary Insperity Premier technology as part of our **HR**360 solution and our proprietary Workday HCM-based client tenant as part of our **HR**Scale solution, through which we, along with our clients and WSEEs, manage employee administration, payroll, payroll tax, benefits, retirement solutions and other HR-related information, creating efficiencies for all parties.

As of December 31, 2025, we had 73 physical office locations in 44 markets. To take advantage of economic efficiencies, multiple sales offices may share a physical location. In addition, we had four regional service centers along with human resources and client service personnel located in a majority of our 44 sales markets, which serviced an average of 312,377 WSEEs per month in the fourth quarter of 2025. Our service centers coordinate PEO HR Solutions for clients on a regional basis and localized face-to-face human resources services.

We were organized as a corporation in 1986. Our principal executive offices are located at 19001 Crescent Springs Drive, Kingwood, Texas 77339. Our telephone number at that address is (281) 358-8986, and our website address is www.insperity.com. Our stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange and the NYSE Texas under the symbol "NSP." We file or furnish periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), including our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and if applicable, amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. Through the investor relations section of our website, we make available electronic copies of the documents that we file or furnish to the SEC, the charters of the standing committees of our Board of Directors ("Board") and other documents related to our corporate governance, including our Code of Conduct, and other information that could be deemed to be material. Access to these electronic filings is available free of charge as soon as reasonably practicable after filing or furnishing them to the SEC. Printed copies of our committee charters and other governance documents and filings can be requested by writing to our corporate secretary at the address above. Information on our website is not a part of, and is not incorporated into, this report or any other report we may file with or furnish to the SEC, whether before or after the date of this report and irrespective of any general incorporation language therein.

**PEO Industry**

The PEO industry began to evolve in the early 1980s largely in response to the burdens placed on small and medium-sized employers by an increasingly complex legal and regulatory environment. While various service providers were available to assist these businesses with specific tasks, PEOs emerged as providers of a more comprehensive range of services relating to the employer/employee relationship. In a PEO arrangement, the PEO assumes certain aspects of the employer/employee relationship as defined in the contract between the PEO and its client. Because PEOs provide

**BUSINESS**

employer-related services to a large number of employees, they can achieve economies of scale that allow them to perform employment-related functions more efficiently, provide a greater variety of employee benefits, and devote more attention to human resources management than a client can individually.

We believe the key factors driving demand for PEO services include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the focus on growth and productivity of the small and medium-sized business community in the United States, utilizing outsourcing to concentrate on core competencies

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the need to provide competitive health care and related benefits to attract and retain employees

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the increasing costs associated with health and workers' compensation insurance coverage, workplace safety programs, employee-related complaints and litigation

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• complex regulation of payroll, payroll tax and employment issues and the related costs of compliance, including the allocation of time and effort to such functions by owners and key executives

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the significant costs, time and specialized knowledge required to purchase or develop the technology infrastructure to administer benefits, HR and payroll processing on an integrated basis

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the ability to develop and execute a comprehensive HR strategy and obtain a wide variety of HR support from a single vendor

A significant factor in the development of the PEO industry has been increasing recognition and acceptance of PEOs and the co-employer relationship by federal and state governmental authorities. Insperity and other industry leaders, in concert with the National Association of Professional Employer Organizations ("NAPEO"), have worked with the relevant governmental entities for the establishment of a regulatory framework that protects clients and employees, discourages unscrupulous and financially unsound PEOs, and promotes further development of the industry. Currently, 42 states have enacted legislation either recognizing PEOs or requiring licensing, registration, or certification, and several others are considering such regulation. Such laws vary from state to state but generally provide for monitoring the fiscal responsibility of PEOs. State regulation assists in screening insufficiently capitalized PEO operations and helps to resolve interpretive issues concerning employer/employee status for specific purposes under applicable state law. We have actively supported such regulatory efforts and are currently recognized, licensed, registered, certified or pursuing registration in all of these states. The cost of compliance with these regulations is not material to our financial position or results of operations.

The Small Business Efficiency Act ("SBEA") created a federal regulatory framework for the payment of wages to WSEEs and the reporting and remittance of federal payroll taxes on those wages paid by PEOs certified under the Internal Revenue Code as meeting certain requirements ("CPEOs"). We actively supported the enactment of this law. The SBEA clarified that a CPEO, rather than the client, is treated as the employer for purposes of reporting and remitting payroll taxes. It also clarified that a CPEO is treated as a successor employer for purposes of the wage base of WSEEs on which federal payroll taxes are applied. In addition, the law clarified that clients of a CPEO remain eligible for specified tax credits for which they would have been eligible absent the CPEO relationship. Under the voluntary certification program by the Internal Revenue Service of the United States ("IRS") and Treasury Department, our two primary PEO subsidiaries received their designations as CPEOs from the IRS.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• employer liability management

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• assistance with government compliance

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• personnel records management

In addition to the above, employees, managers, and client owners have access to our proprietary Insperity Premier technology as part of our **HR**360 solution and our proprietary Workday HCM-based client tenant as part of our **HR**Scale solution.

Our **HR**360 solution also provides additional services that our **HR**360 Select Edition clients can purchase for an additional fee, including the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• employee recruiting and support

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• employee performance management

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• training and development services

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• strategic HR projects

We also expect our **HR**Scale clients to have access to these additional services.

Our PEO HR Solutions are designed to attract and retain high-quality employees, while relieving client owners and key executives of many employer-related administrative and regulatory burdens. As a co-employer in the PEO relationship, we assume or share many of the employer-related responsibilities and assist our clients in complying with many employment-related governmental laws and regulations. Historically, we believe that we have successfully marketed the compliance component of our service offering and that our compliance-related services have increased the value proposition of our service offering. Among the employment-related laws and regulations that may affect a client are the following:

•  Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") • Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN)

•  Federal Income Contribution Act (FICA) • Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA)

•  Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA) • State unemployment and employment security laws

•  Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) • State workers' compensation laws

•  Employee Retirement Income Security Act, as amended (ERISA) • Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (the "Reconciliation Act")

•  Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (COBRA) • Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA)

•  Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) • State and local law equivalents of the foregoing

•  Title VII (Civil Rights Act of 1964) • The Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA)

•  Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) • The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, also known as the CARES Act

•  Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) • The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (CAA)

•  Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) • The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA)

•  The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) • Paycheck Protection Program and Healthcare Enhancement Act (PPP)

•  Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 • SECURE 2.0 Act of 2022, as part of The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023

•  Drug-Free Workplace Act • One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBB)

•  Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA)

These laws and regulations are complex, and in some instances overlapping. We assist our PEO HR Solutions clients in

complying with these laws and regulations by providing services in the categories set forth below:

*Administrative Functions*. Administrative functions encompass a wide variety of processing and recordkeeping tasks, mostly related to payroll administration and regulatory compliance. Specific examples include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• payroll processing

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• payroll tax deposits

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• payroll tax reporting

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• employee file maintenance

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• unemployment claims processing

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• workers' compensation claims reporting and monitoring

*Benefit Plans Administration*. We maintain numerous benefit plans for eligible WSEEs including the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a group health plan

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a health savings account program

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a health care flexible spending account plan

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a 401(k) retirement plan

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an employee well-being program

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• cafeteria plans for group health and health savings account contributions

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• short-term and long-term disability insurance

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an educational assistance program

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an adoption assistance program

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• group term life insurance

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• accidental death and dismemberment insurance

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• critical illness and accident insurance

The group health plan includes medical, dental, vision and prescription drug coverage. All benefit plans are provided to eligible employees based on the specific eligibility provisions of each plan. We are the policyholder responsible for the costs and premiums associated with any group insurance policies that provide benefits under these plans, and we act as plan sponsor and administrator of the plans. We negotiate the terms and costs of the plans, maintain the plans in accordance with applicable federal and state regulations and serve as liaison for the delivery of these benefits to WSEEs and corporate employees. COBRA coverage is extended to eligible terminated WSEEs and other eligible individuals in accordance with applicable law. We believe that the variety and comprehensive nature of our benefit plan offerings are generally not available to employees in our small and medium-sized business target market and allow our clients to compete with the type and level of benefits usually offered only by companies with a larger group of employees. As a result, we believe the availability of these benefit plans provides our clients with a competitive advantage that small and medium-sized businesses are typically unable to attain on their own.

*HCM Platforms.* For our **HR**360 and **HR**360 Select Edition clients and WSEEs, Insperity Premier is our web-based human capital management platform and is available to our clients with minimal implementation effort. Our **HR**Scale solution is designed to give clients and WSEEs access to our proprietary Workday HCM-based client tenant with a focus on affordability, ease and speed of deployment, and agility as companies scale. The HCM platforms powering our PEO HR Solutions are designed to provide our service providers with insight into client and WSEE HR information to better support their needs. These platforms provide role-based access to a wide range of human capital management functions, along

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ability to manage employee time and attendance information, absences, and paid time off, if offered by client

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• access to talent management tools in the areas of recruiting, performance management, and learning management, if offered by client

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• access to a library of online human resources forms

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• e-learning web-based training

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• performance management tools including self-reviews and review history, if offered by client

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ability to submit time and attendance information, absences, and paid time off requests, if offered by client

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• mobile access to perform a wide range of employee-specific activities such as reporting time and attendance and paid time off, view pay stubs, insurance coverage and ID cards, view 401(k) balances and other commonly accessed data

*People Management*. In addition to the services that we provide through the technology included in our PEO HR Solutions, we also provide a wide variety of human capital management services that give our clients access to HR advisors and additional resources normally found only in the human resources departments of large companies.

Other human capital management services we provide include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• drafting and reviewing personnel policies and employee handbooks

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• development of company culture and employee experience

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• employee coaching and counseling

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• substance abuse awareness training

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• outplacement services

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• compensation guidance

*Employer Liability Management*. Under the CSA, we assume many of the employment-related responsibilities associated with the administrative functions, benefit plans administration, and human capital management services we provide. For many of those employment-related responsibilities that are the responsibility of the client or of both the client and us, we may assist our clients in managing and limiting liability. This assistance may include safety-related risk management reviews as well as the implementation by our clients of safety programs, for which our clients are responsible, that are designed to reduce workplace accidents and, consequently, workers' compensation claims. We also provide guidance to clients for avoiding discrimination, sexual harassment and civil rights violations, and we assist with termination decisions when consulted to attempt to minimize liability on those grounds. While we do not provide legal services to our clients, we employ in-house and external counsel who specialize in several areas of employment law, have broad experience in disputes concerning the employer/employee relationship, and provide support to our internal human resources professionals. As part of our comprehensive service, we also maintain employment practice liability insurance coverage for ourselves and our clients, monitor developments in HR-related laws and regulations, and notify clients of the potential effect of such changes on employer liability.

*Middle Market Solutions.* We believe the middle market sector, which we generally define as those companies with employee populations ranging from approximately 150 to 5,000 WSEEs, has historically been under-served by the PEO industry. Currently, we have a dedicated sales management, service personnel and consulting staff who concentrate solely on the middle market sector. In addition, our new **HR**Scale solution, which we expect our first clients to begin using in the first quarter of 2026, is focused on the needs of the middle market sector. Our average number of WSEEs per month in our middle market sector in 2025 increased 4% from 2024, and the middle market sector as a percentage of our overall WSEE count remained consistent over this period, representing approximately 26% of our total average paid WSEEs during both 2025 and 2024. Clients exceeding 1,000 paid WSEEs represented 2% and 3% of our total average paid WSEEs during 2025 and 2024, respectively.

***Other Product and Services Offerings***

We offer other product and services offerings on a stand-alone basis and to our PEO HR Solutions clients. We also strive to leverage our relationships with our customers to enable cross-selling of our various products and services.

Following are the key components of our other products and services, which are offered separately or as a bundle:

*Comprehensive Traditional Payroll and Human Capital Management Solution.* Our **HR**Core solution is a comprehensive human capital management and payroll services solution for clients that do not choose our PEO HR Solutions. This solution combines a third-party web-based human resources software suite that provides integrated payroll, HR administration and employee onboarding, benefits administration, performance management, and time and attendance functionality with HR guidance and tools, as well as reporting and analytics.

*Talent Acquisition Services.* Our Talent Acquisition Services offer direct hire placement on an as-needed basis and provide outsourced support for individual requisitions or large-scale hiring projects. In addition, we provide consulting services to assist in the creation and maintenance of consistent hiring practices and retention strategies. We also provide compensation services, behavior-based interview training and talent assessment.

*Retirement Services.* Our Retirement Services solutions deliver comprehensive 401(k) retirement plan recordkeeping and administrative services to small and medium-sized businesses, primarily in connection with a 401(k) retirement plan we sponsor for our PEO HR Solutions clients. Services include employee education and enrollment, participant communications, elective deferral withholding and transmission, matching contribution calculation, loan and distribution processing, regulatory filing preparation and nondiscrimination testing.

**BUSINESS**

*Insurance Services.* Our Insurance Services solutions offer assistance through our licensed insurance agency to small and medium-sized businesses throughout the United States to secure affordable, customizable business insurance packages and life, health and disability insurance policies. Insurance Services also assists individuals in obtaining insurance coverages.

*Perks+.* The Insperity Perks+<sup>TM</sup> program, which is available to our **HR**Core clients, allows their employees to access to a portion of earned wages between paychecks. It also provides these employees the ability to obtain a paycard, as well as to receive discounts, cash back and other rewards through an online marketplace.

**Client Service Agreement**

All PEO HR Solutions clients execute a CSA with us. The CSA provides for an ongoing relationship between Insperity and the PEO HR Solutions client. For most **HR**360 clients, the CSA generally establishes pricing for a period of one year and is subject to termination by Insperity or the client upon 30 days' written notice or upon shorter notice in the event of default. CSAs for our middle market clients generally establish pricing for two years. In addition, we expect our **HR**Scale clients to have a contractual commitment that extends beyond the two-year pricing commitment. The CSAs are subject to early termination by clients upon payment of a termination fee or otherwise by the parties upon an event of default. The CSA establishes our comprehensive service fee, which is subject to periodic adjustments to account for changes in the composition of the client's workforce, employee benefit election changes, and statutory changes that affect our costs. Under the CSA, clients are obligated to pay the estimated payroll tax component of the comprehensive service fee in a manner that reflects the pattern of incurred payroll tax costs. This practice aligns clients' payments to us with our obligations to make payments to tax authorities, which are higher in the earlier part of the year and decrease as limits on wages subject to payroll tax are reached.

The CSA also establishes the division of responsibilities between us and the client as co-employers. Pursuant to the CSA, we are responsible for personnel administration and for compliance with certain employment-related government regulations. In addition, we assume liability for payment of salaries and wages (as well as related payroll taxes) of our WSEEs and responsibility for providing specified employee benefits to such persons. These liabilities are not contingent on the prepayment by the client of the associated comprehensive service fee. Instead, as a result of our employment relationship with each of our WSEEs, we are liable for payment of salary and wages to the WSEEs as reported by the client and are responsible for providing specified employee benefits to such persons regardless of whether the client pays the associated comprehensive service fee. The client retains the employees' services and remains liable for complying with certain government regulations that require control of the worksite or daily supervisory responsibility or is otherwise beyond our ability to assume. A third group of responsibilities and liabilities are assumed by both Insperity and the client where such concurrent responsibility is appropriate. The specific division of applicable responsibilities under our CSAs generally is as follows:

***Insperity Responsibilities***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Payment of wages and salaries as reported by the client and related tax reporting and remittance (local, state and federal withholding, FICA, FUTA, state unemployment)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Workers' compensation compliance, procurement, management and reporting

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Compliance with the Code, COBRA, ERISA and PPACA for Insperity-sponsored employee benefit plans, as well as monitoring changes in other governmental laws and regulations governing the employer/employee relationship and updating the client when necessary

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Offering one or more benefits under Insperity-sponsored employee benefit plans

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Administration of Insperity-sponsored employee benefit plans

***Client Responsibilities***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Payment, through Insperity, of commissions, bonuses, vacations, paid time off, sick pay, paid leaves of absence, and severance payments

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Payment and related tax reporting and remittance of non-qualified deferred compensation and equity-based compensation

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Products produced and/or services provided

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Compliance with OSHA regulations, EPA regulations, FLSA, FMLA, WARN, USERRA, and state and local equivalents and compliance with government contracting provisions

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Compliance with federal, state, and local pay-or-play health care mandates and all such other similar federal, state and local legislation

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Compliance with the National Labor Relations Act, including all organizing efforts and expenses related to a collective bargaining agreement and related benefits

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Professional licensing requirements, fidelity bonding, and professional liability insurance

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Ownership and protection of all client intellectual property rights

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Compliance with the Code, COBRA, PPACA, and ERISA for client-sponsored employee benefit plans

***Concurrent Responsibilities***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Implementation of policies and practices relating to the employee/employer relationship

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Internal compliance with all federal, state and local employment laws, including Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, ADEA, Title I of ADA, the Consumer Credit Protection Act and immigration laws and regulations

We maintain employment practice liability insurance coverages (including coverages for our clients) to manage our exposure for various employee-related claims.

Because we are a co-employer with the client for some purposes, it is possible that we could incur liability for violations of such laws, even if we are not responsible for the conduct giving rise to such liability. Our CSA ordinarily addresses this issue by providing that the client will indemnify us for liability incurred to the extent the liability is attributable to conduct by the client. Notwithstanding this contractual right to indemnification, it is possible that we could be unable to collect on a claim for indemnification and may therefore be ultimately responsible for satisfying the liability in question.

In most instances, clients are required to remit their comprehensive service fees no later than the same day as the applicable payroll date by wire transfer or automated clearinghouse transaction. Although we are ultimately liable, as the employer for payroll purposes, to pay employees for work previously performed, we retain the ability to immediately terminate the CSA and associated WSEEs or to require prepayment, letters of credit, or other collateral upon deterioration in a client's financial condition or upon non-payment by a client. These rights, the periodic nature of payroll, and the overall quality of our client base have resulted in an excellent overall collections history.

**PEO HR Solutions Clients**

Insperity's PEO HR Solutions provide value-added, full-service human resources solutions we believe are most suitable to a specific segment of the small and medium-sized business community. We target successful businesses with approximately 10 to 5,000 employees that recognize the advantage in the strategic use of high-performance human resources practices. We believe approximately 10% of the overall small and medium-sized business community in terms of WSEEs are "good fit" companies for our PEO services and that our **HR**Scale solution improves our ability to serve businesses with 500 or more employees. We serve clients and WSEEs located throughout the United States.

By region, our revenue distribution for the year ended December 31, 2025, was as follows:

![29175](nsp-20251231_g3.jpg)

________________________________________________________

<sup>(1)</sup> The Southwest region includes Texas.

Please read Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, <u>["Accounting Policies,"](#i3eea848da3dc460fa42505481f4781c6_76)</u> for additional information related to the change in revenues by region.

All prospective PEO HR Solutions clients are evaluated on the basis of a comprehensive analysis of employer-related risks entailing many factors, including (where permitted) industry and operations, workplace safety and workers' compensation, unemployment history, operating stability, group medical information, human resources practices and other employer risks. As part of our client selection strategy, we strive to minimize offering our PEO HR Solutions to businesses falling within certain specified NAICS (North American Industry Classification System) codes for those industries that we believe present a higher employer risk for reasons such as employee injury, high turnover or litigation.

**BUSINESS**

Our PEO HR Solutions client base is broadly distributed throughout a wide variety of industries as follows:

![30150](nsp-20251231_g4.jpg)

This diverse client base lowers our exposure to downturns or volatility in any particular industry. However, our performance could be affected by a downturn in one of these industries or by general economic conditions within the small and medium-sized business community.

We focus heavily on client retention. During 2025 and 2024, our retention rate was approximately 83% and 81%, respectively. For all PEO HR Solutions clients, the average annual retention rate over the last five years was approximately 84%. Client attrition is attributable to a variety of factors, including: (1) client non-renewal due to price or service factors; (2) client business failure, sale, merger or disposition; (3) our termination of the CSA resulting from the client's non-compliance or inability to make timely payments; (4) competition from other PEOs or business services firms; and (5) clients electing to bring HR in-house.

**Marketing and Sales**

As of December 31, 2025, we had 90 sales offices located in 44 markets. Our sales offices typically consist of Business Performance Advisors ("BPAs"), a district sales manager, and an office administrator. To take advantage of economic efficiencies, multiple sales offices may share a physical location.

We identify markets using a systematic market evaluation and selection process. We continue to evaluate a broad range of factors in the selection process, using a market selection model that weighs various criteria that, based on our experience, we believe are reliable predictors of successful penetration. Among the factors we consider are:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• market size, in terms of small and medium-sized businesses engaged in selected industries that meet our risk profile

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• market receptivity to PEO services, including the regulatory environment and relevant history with other PEO providers

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• existing relationships within a given market, such as vendor or client relationships

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• expansion cost issues, such as advertising and overhead costs

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• direct cost issues that bear on our effectiveness in controlling and managing the cost of our services, such as workers' compensation and health insurance costs, unemployment risks, and various legal and other factors

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a comparison of the services we offer to alternatives available to small and medium-sized businesses in the relevant market, such as the cost to the target clients of procuring services directly or through other PEOs

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• long-term strategy issues, such as the general perception of markets and our estimate of the long-term revenue growth potential of the market

We develop a mix of national and local advertising media and a placement strategy tailored to each individual market. After selecting a market and developing our marketing mix, but prior to entering the market, we engage in an organized media and public relations campaign to prepare the market for our entry and to begin the process of generating sales leads. We market our services through various business promotions and a broad range of media outlets, including digital marketing, television, radio, newspapers, periodicals and direct mail. We employ public relations firms for most of our markets as well as advertising consultants to coordinate and implement our marketing campaigns. We have developed an inventory of television, radio and newsprint advertisements, which are utilized in this effort.

We routinely seek to develop new marketing approaches and campaigns to capitalize on changes in the competitive landscape for our human resources services and to more successfully reach our target market. We have an agreement with the PGA Tour Champions to be the title sponsor of the Insperity Invitational<sup>™</sup> presented by UnitedHealthcare<sup>®</sup> professional golf tournament held annually in The Woodlands, Texas (a suburb of Houston). In August 2025, we entered into a multiyear brand partnership with Tiger Woods and as part of this partnership, Mr. Woods serves as a brand ambassador for our Company. In addition, we have an arrangement with Jim Nantz, a sports commentator, to serve as our national spokesperson. Our marketing campaigns use this event and the relationship with Mr. Woods and Mr. Nantz as a focal point of our brand marketing efforts.

Our organic growth model generates sales leads from six primary sources: direct sales efforts, digital advertising, traditional advertising, third-party channel programs, referrals, and marketing alliances. These leads result in initial presentations to prospective PEO HR Solutions clients, and ultimately, prospective PEO HR Solutions client business profiles. A prospective PEO HR Solutions client's business profile reflects information gathered by the BPA about the prospect's employees, including base compensation, level of benefits, coverage options, job classification, state of employment and workers' compensation classification. This information is used to generate a bid from our customized bid system, which applies Insperity's proprietary pricing model to the census data. Concurrent with this process, we evaluate prospective clients through the previously described comprehensive employer risk analysis. Upon completion of a favorable employer risk evaluation, the BPA presents the bid and attempts to complete the sale and enroll the prospect. Our selling process typically takes approximately 90 days for clients with fewer than 150 employees, and 180 days or longer for middle market clients. The process can be extended during economic downturns.

We have implemented a sales process that allows our BPAs to offer our PEO HR Solutions or refer our **HR**Core, our traditional HR solution, to each prospective client with which they meet. This strategy allows us to leverage the same sales force for all of our primary offerings and increases the ability of our BPAs to add clients to our **HR**Core solution when the client is not prepared for PEO HR Solutions. This dual channel approach to selling attempts to reduce barriers to a company becoming a client and allows us to offer solutions better tailored to the specific needs of the business, including at renewal.

**Competition**

We provide value-added, full-service human resources solutions through our PEO HR Solutions, which we believe is most suitable to a specific segment of the small and medium-sized business community. This full-service approach is exemplified by our commitment to provide a high level of service and technology personnel, which has produced a ratio of corporate staff to WSEEs (the "staff support ratio") that is higher than average for the PEO industry. Based on an analysis of the 2022 through 2024 annual NAPEO surveys of the PEO industry, we have successfully leveraged our full-service approach into significantly higher returns for Insperity on a per WSEE per month basis. During the three-year period from 2022 through 2024, our staff support ratio averaged 55% higher than the PEO industry average. During the same three-year period, our gross profit per WSEE and operating income per WSEE exceeded industry averages by 113% and 94%, respectively.

**BUSINESS**

Competition in the PEO industry revolves primarily around quality of services, scope of services, choice and quality of benefits packages, reputation, and price. We believe reputation, national presence, regulatory expertise, financial resources, risk management, and information technology capabilities distinguish leading PEOs from the rest of the industry. We also believe we compete favorably in these areas; however, other PEOs may offer their PEO services at lower prices than we offer.

Due to the differing geographic regions and market segments in which most PEOs operate, and the relatively low level of market penetration by the industry, we consider our primary competition for our PEO HR Solutions to be the traditional in-house provision of human resources services. The PEO industry is highly fragmented and we have seen competition intensify; however, we believe Insperity is one of the largest PEO service providers in the United States. Our largest national competitors include the PEO divisions of large business services companies such as Automatic Data Processing, Inc. and Paychex, Inc., and other national PEOs, such as TriNet Group, Inc, Vensure, and Rippling. In addition, we also face competition from: (1) fee-for-service providers such as payroll processors and human resources consultants; (2) human resources technology solution companies; and (3) large regional PEOs in certain areas of the country.

**Benefits and Workers' Compensation Relationships**

Insperity provides benefits to its WSEEs under arrangements with a variety of vendors. We consider our contracts with UnitedHealthcare ("United") and the Chubb Group of Insurance Companies ("Chubb") to be the most significant elements of our employee benefits package, as they would be the most difficult to replace.

We provide group health insurance coverage to our WSEEs through a national network of carriers including United, UnitedHealthcare of California, Kaiser Permanente, Blue Shield of California, HMSA BlueCross BlueShield of Hawaii, and Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, formerly known as Tufts, all of which provide fully insured policies or service contracts. The health insurance contract with United provides approximately 85% of our participants' health insurance coverage and expires on December 31, 2028, subject to cancellation by either party upon 180 days' notice. For a discussion of our contract with United, which is accounted for using a partially self-funded insurance accounting model, please read <u>[Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates—Benefits Costs](#ie9b476c900334a0a87a97c6c8297f6e7_3226)</u>."

Our workers' compensation coverage (the "Chubb Program") has been provided through an arrangement with Chubb (formerly ACE) since 2007. The Chubb Program is a fully insured program whereby Chubb has the responsibility to pay all claims incurred under the policies regardless of whether we satisfy our responsibilities. The current workers' compensation coverage with Chubb expires on September 30, 2026. In the event we are unable to secure replacement coverage on competitive terms, significant disruption to our business could occur. For additional discussion of the Chubb Program, which includes terms shifting some of the financial responsibility for claims to us, please read <u>[Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates—Workers' Compensation Costs](#ie735a4bf384a4aec98e8003b26424ae2_4369)</u>."

**BUSINESS**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• client invoicing and collection

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• management information and reporting

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• sales bid calculations

Central to these systems are transaction processing capabilities that allow us to process a high volume of employee enrollment, employee administration, payroll, invoice and bid transactions that meet the specific needs of our clients and prospects. We have developed AI-based technologies to assist our service personnel in addressing client needs and are working to expand certain AI-based tools for our clients and WSEEs. We administer our employee benefits through both proprietary applications and a third-party solution designed to process employee eligibility and enrollments, manage carrier relationships and maintain a variety of plan offerings. Our retirement services operations are conducted utilizing an industry-leading retirement plan administration application in a third-party hosted environment. Aspects of all of these components are delivered to our PEO HR Solutions clients and WSEEs through our Insperity Premier platform and the Workday HCM technology that is part of Insperity **HR**Scale. We utilize commercially available software and web-based solutions for other business functions such as finance and accounting, sales force activity management and customer relationship management.

Insperity operates from two separate leased hosting facilities, one of which serves as our primary facility. These facilities host our internally-developed business applications, information security systems and network infrastructure. Each hosting facility houses a mix of primary production applications, disaster recovery, replication and back-up applications, and pre-production environments. We also utilize a variety of third-party web-based solutions, which we assess prior to entering into a subscription agreement and monitor on an ongoing basis. These hosting facilities each have the capacity to run our critical internally-developed business applications and have sufficient capacity to handle the hosted applications on a stand-alone basis, if required. We have an active Business Continuity Plan, which includes information technology capabilities and we utilize a variety of measures to ensure our Business Continuity Plan remains effective and available.

Our network infrastructure is designed to ensure appropriate connectivity exists among all of our facilities and provides appropriate internet connectivity to conduct business with our clients and WSEEs. The network infrastructure is provided through industry standard core network hardware and via high-speed network services provided by multiple vendors.

We have incorporated a variety of measures designed to maintain the security and privacy of the information managed through our systems and applications. These measures include industry-standard technologies designed to protect, monitor and assess our data centers and network environment; best practice privacy and security policies and procedures; annual corporate employee training on data security and privacy; SOC-1 reports prepared by independent firms regarding key systems; and a variety of measures designed to control access to sensitive and private information.

**Industry Laws and Regulations**

The operations for our PEO HR Solutions are affected by numerous federal, state, and local laws and regulations relating to tax, insurance and employment matters. By entering into a co-employer relationship with our WSEEs, we assume certain obligations and responsibilities of an employer under these federal and state laws and regulations. Because many of these federal and state laws and regulations were enacted prior to the development of nontraditional employment relationships, such as PEOs, temporary employment and outsourcing arrangements, many of these laws and regulations do not specifically address the obligations and responsibilities of nontraditional employers. Currently, the federal government and 42 states have passed laws that either recognize PEOs, require licensing or registration of PEOs, or provide voluntary certification programs for PEOs, and several others are considering such regulation. The SBEA established a voluntary certification program and created a federal regulatory framework for the payment of wages to WSEEs and for the reporting and remittance of federal payroll taxes on those wages paid by CPEOs. Our two primary PEO subsidiaries are CPEOs. Please read <u>[Item 1. "Business—PEO Industry"](#i80d3e1a322e5432bbd8216f8247b7f7d_54605)</u> for further information.

As an employer, we are subject to federal statutes and regulations governing the employer/employee relationship. Subject to the issues discussed below, we believe that our operations are in compliance, in all material respects, with all applicable federal statutes and regulations.

**Employee Benefit Plans**

We offer various employee benefits plans to eligible employees, including our WSEEs. These plans include:

**BUSINESS**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a group health plan, which includes medical, dental, vision and prescription drug coverage

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a 401(k) retirement plan

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• cafeteria plans under Code Section 125

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a health savings account program

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a welfare benefits plan, which includes life, disability, accidental death and dismemberment, critical illness, and accident insurance, as well as an employee well-being program

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a health care flexible spending account plan

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an educational assistance program

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an adoption assistance program

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a commuter benefits program

Generally, employee benefit plans are subject to provisions of the Code, ERISA, and COBRA. The number and complex nature of federal and state regulations relating to employer-sponsored health plans has continued to increase over time. We believe that additional regulatory burdens placed on employers can increase the demand for our services because small and medium-sized businesses are especially challenged in their efforts to comply with governmental regulations due to limited resources and a lack of expertise.

*Employer Status and Employee Benefit Plans.* We are the sponsor of the employee benefit plans that we offer to eligible WSEEs. Our plans are governed by ERISA and the Code. Our ability to sponsor these plans, to have them governed by ERISA, and to receive favorable tax treatment under the Code is dependent on our status as "employer" of the WSEEs. Employer status is determined under various rules, regulations, and interpretations. While we believe that we qualify as employer under applicable laws, please read <u>[Item 1.A. "Risk Factors—A determination that we are not the employer of our WSEEs and an inability to offer alternate benefit plans could have a material adverse effect on our business."](#i5523530026b24daf833512f88b7555bb_3638)</u>

*Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.* For a discussion of the impact of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act on our business, please read <u>[Item 1A. "Risk Factors—PEO HR Solutions Risks—Health care reform could affect our health insurance plan and could lead to a significant disruption in our business."](#ic36231a19c3948a49b87d7cd23fc7463_2582)</u>

*401(k) Retirement Plans.* Our 401(k) Retirement Plan for WSEEs is operated pursuant to guidance provided by the IRS under Revenue Procedure 2002-21 and Revenue Procedure 2003-86, each of which provides guidance for the operation of defined contribution plans maintained by PEOs that benefit WSEEs. This guidance provides qualification standards for PEO plans that, if met, negate the inquiry of common law employer status for purposes of the exclusive benefit rule. All of Insperity's 401(k) Retirement Plans have received determination letters from the IRS confirming the qualified status of the plans.

**Employment Taxes**

As a co-employer, and under the terms of the CSA, Insperity generally assumes responsibility and liability for the payment of federal and state employment taxes with respect to wages and salaries paid to our WSEEs. There are essentially three types of federal employment tax obligations included in Subtitle C — Employment Taxes of the Code:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• withholding of income tax requirements governed by Code Section 3401, et seq.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• obligations under FICA, governed by Code Section 3101, et seq.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• obligations under FUTA, governed by Code Section 3301, et seq.

Under these Code sections, employers have the obligation to withhold and remit the employer portion and, where applicable, the employee portion of these taxes.

The SBEA provides a CPEO shall be treated as the employer under Subtitle C – Employment Taxes of the Code and shall be responsible for reporting federal employment taxes on remuneration paid by the CPEO rather than the CPEO clients.

**BUSINESS**

For any client CSA that is not a CPEO contract, Code Section 3401, which applies to federal income tax withholding requirements, contains an exception to the general common law test applied to determine whether an entity is an "employer" for purposes of federal income tax withholding. Code Section 3401(d)(1) states that if the person for whom services are rendered does not have control of the payment of wages, the "employer" for this purpose is the person having control of the payment of wages. The Treasury regulations issued under Code Section 3401(d)(1) state that a third party can be deemed to be the employer of workers under this section for income tax withholding purposes where the person for whom services are rendered does not have legal control of the payment of wages. While several courts have examined Code Section 3401(d)(1), its ultimate scope has not been delineated. Moreover, the IRS has to date relied extensively on the common law test of employment in determining liability for failure to comply with federal income tax withholding requirements.

Accordingly, while we believe that we can assume the withholding obligations for WSEEs, in the event we fail to meet these obligations, the client may be held ultimately liable for those obligations. While this interpretive issue has not to our knowledge discouraged clients from enrolling with Insperity, there can be no assurance that a definitive adverse resolution of this issue would not do so in the future. These interpretive uncertainties may also impact our ability to report employment taxes on our own account rather than the accounts of our clients.

Clients who elected to defer the employer portion of social security under the CARES Act have sole responsibility for reporting and depositing deferred amounts with the U.S. Treasury.

**Unemployment Taxes and Employee Leave**

We record our state unemployment insurance ("SUI") tax expense and other wage based employee leave insurance programs based on taxable wages and tax rates assigned by each state. State unemployment tax rates vary by state and are determined, in part, based on Insperity's prior years' compensation and unemployment experience in each state. Certain rates are determined, in part, by each client's own compensation and unemployment experience. In addition, states have the ability under law to increase unemployment tax rates, including retroactively, to cover deficiencies in the unemployment tax funds. Rate notices are typically provided by the states during, or prior to, the first quarter of each year; however, some notices are received later. Until we receive the final tax rate notices, we estimate our expected SUI rate in those particular states.

**State Regulation**

While some states do not explicitly regulate PEOs, 42 states have adopted provisions for licensing, registration, certification or recognition of PEOs, and several others are considering such regulation. Such laws vary from state to state but generally provide for monitoring the fiscal responsibility of PEOs, and in some cases codify and clarify the co-employment relationship for unemployment, workers' compensation and other purposes under state law. We believe that we are in compliance with the material requirements in all 42 states that have such laws. Regardless of whether a state has licensing, registration or certification requirements for PEOs, we must comply with a number of other state and local regulations that could impact our operations.

**Human Capital**

We believe that our ability to attract and retain highly motivated and skilled corporate employees with diverse backgrounds and experiences is critical to our continued success. Our human capital management objective is to attract, develop, and retain qualified corporate employees as appropriate to support our growth, client service initiatives, and technology investments, while furthering our commitment to our culture, mission, and values.

We had approximately 4,200 corporate employees as of December 31, 2025. We believe our relations with our corporate employees are good. None of our corporate employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement. The number of BPAs and trained BPAs impacts our ability to grow our customer base. We refer to BPAs who have been employed for two months and completed initial sales training as "trained BPAs." During 2025 and 2024, the average number of BPAs were 612 and 769, respectively, while the average number of trained BPAs were 599 and 698, respectively.

We offer numerous programs and benefits in furtherance of our human capital management objective, including: competitive compensation and benefits; corporate 401(k) retirement plan with a matching component; employee stock purchase program; leadership development programs; the Insperity MVP (Mission Values Performance) employee

recognition program; flexible remote working arrangements; and employee well-being programs to provide additional assistance to corporate employees in times of need.

We monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our human capital management efforts by seeking formal and informal feedback from our corporate employees, including periodic surveys of our corporate employees to obtain their opinions on key topics.

**Intellectual Property**

Insperity currently has registered trademarks, copyrights and other intellectual property. We believe that our trademarks as a whole are of considerable importance to our business.

**RISK FACTORS**

**Item 1A. Risk Factors.**

The statements in this section describe the known material risks to our business and should be considered carefully.

**Economic Risks**

***Adverse economic conditions or changes in the employment levels could negatively affect our industry, business, and results of operations.***

The small and medium-sized business market is sensitive to changes in economic activity levels as well as the credit markets. As a result, the demand for the outsourced HR services we provide clients could be adversely impacted by weak economic conditions or difficulty obtaining credit at favorable rates or at all. Current and prospective clients may respond to such conditions by reducing employment levels, compensation levels, employee benefit levels and outsourced HR services. In addition, during periods of weak economic conditions, current clients may have difficulty meeting their financial obligations to us and may select alternative HR services at more competitive rates than we offer. Further, our growth is partially dependent on hiring of new employees by our existing clients, which may be negatively impacted during periods of tight labor markets, such as the low unemployment environment experienced during 2022 and 2023, and during economic slowdowns, such as the high unemployment levels experienced during 2020. Such developments could adversely impact our financial condition, results of operations, and future growth rates.

In addition, our growth is impacted by the hiring and termination of employees by our existing clients. Emerging technologies, including AI, may reduce the need for our clients to hire for certain roles or lead to automation of tasks previously performed by clients' employees. As a result, our clients may hire fewer employees or replace existing positions with AI-driven solutions, which would impact the growth of our worksite employees. Such developments could adversely impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

***If the claims that we made for employee retention tax credits under COVID relief programs are disallowed, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.***

In connection with certain COVID relief programs, PEO clients were dependent on their PEO to process employee retention tax credits ("ERC") on a consolidated basis, including through amending previously filed payroll tax forms with the IRS. The IRS has experienced significant backlogs in processing amended tax forms from employers seeking ERC refunds and we are currently awaiting IRS review of a number of ERC claims with respect to our PEO clients. While the deadline to submit any ERC claims for relevant periods in 2021 was April 2025, the OBBB that became law in July 2025 retroactively accelerated the deadline for all claims to January 31, 2024. If any of the ERC claims that we made on behalf of our clients were denied or otherwise deemed insufficient, we may not be able to perfect our filings on a timely basis. Further, eligibility for the ERC is dependent on certain operational information of our clients. The lack of guidance from the IRS on the application of deferred payroll taxes under COVID relief programs may also impact the amount of ERC refunds received on behalf of our clients if those deferred payroll taxes are deducted from ERC funds received or delay our receipt of the ERC funds. Further, if the IRS were to determine that any of our clients were not eligible for the ERC requested on their behalf or we do not perfect our filings on a timely basis, the IRS may conclude that we are responsible for those claims. Furthermore,if the IRS were to otherwise challenge the claims we requested, we could face penalties or other liabilities. If any those events were to occur, our clients may seek recourse against us or choose not to renew. As a result of the foregoing, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

***Bank failures or other events affecting financial institutions could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition, or have other adverse consequences.***

We use a U.S.-based global systemically important bank (or G-SIB) for our PEO operations, including our cash balances associated with that portion of our business. All of our cash deposits are held by Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insured banks, which deposits may exceed the FDIC insurance limits. Through various overnight "sweep account" programs, we also invest a significant portion of our cash balances in U.S. Treasury-based funds, which are invested through brokerage firms affiliated with the banks at which our deposits are held. The failure of a bank or related brokerage firm that we use, or events involving limited liquidity, non-performance or other adverse conditions in the financial or credit markets impacting financial institutions at which we maintain balances, or concerns or rumors about such events, may lead to disruptions in access to our cash balances, adversely impact our liquidity, including our ability to borrow under our credit facility, or limit our ability to process transactions related to our clients. In the event of a failure of a bank or other financial institution that holds our cash deposits, there can be no assurance that our deposits in excess of

**RISK FACTORS**

the FDIC or other comparable insurance limits will be recoverable or, even if ultimately recoverable, there may be significant delays in our ability to access those funds. Furthermore, bank failures, non-performance, or other adverse developments that affect financial institutions could impair the ability of one or more of the banks participating in our credit facility from honoring their commitments. Such events could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

Similarly, our clients may be adversely affected by any bank failure or other event affecting financial institutions. For example, in early 2023, some of our clients had deposits with banks that were placed into receivership. If those clients had been unable, or if our clients in the future are unable, to meet their obligations to us as a result of a bank failure or other event affecting financial institutions, we may be exposed to potential risks that could impact our financial condition or results of operations. If we were to fail to pay the liabilities that we have assumed associated with our WSEEs, we may be subject to fines or other penalties.

***Labor shortages, increasing competition for highly skilled workers, and evolving employee expectations regarding the workplace could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.***

The success of our business is heavily dependent on our ability to attract and retain a skilled workforce, including in our service and sales positions. Several factors may limit the labor force available to us or increase our labor costs, including high employment levels, strong macroeconomic conditions, federal unemployment subsidies, and other governmental regulation. For example, as macroeconomic conditions improved from 2021 through 2023, the labor market tightened, resulting in increased employee turnover and skilled labor shortages. Increasing competition for highly skilled and talented workers may make it increasingly difficult and expensive for us to attract and retain a service team capable of supporting our clients or a sales team that is effective in selling our complex service offerings to clients. An overall or prolonged labor shortage, increased turnover, or labor inflation could have a material adverse impact on our growth plans, client service delivery, results of operations and financial condition.

***Inflation may reduce our profitability.***

Inflationary pressure could adversely impact our profitability. Our operating costs could increase, due to inflation. We may not be able to fully offset these cost increases by raising prices for our services, particularly because our client agreements generally fix our pricing for a period of time, which could result in downward pressure on our profit margins. Further, our clients may choose to reduce their business with us if we increase our pricing. Please also read "<u>[—](#i3eea848da3dc460fa42505481f4781c6_238)</u> <u>[Increases in health insurance costs or our inability to secure replacement health insurance coverage on competitive terms could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations](#i3eea848da3dc460fa42505481f4781c6_238)</u>."

***Geographic market concentration makes our results of operations vulnerable to regional economic factors.***

Our New York, California and Texas markets accounted for approximately 10%, 15% and 17% (including 8% in Houston), respectively, of our WSEEs for the year ended December 31, 2025. Accordingly, unless we are successful in expanding in our current markets and into new markets, which we believe will take additional time, for the foreseeable future, a significant portion of our revenues may be subject to economic, statutory, and regulatory factors specific to New York, California, and Texas.

***We are subject to covenants under our credit facility that may restrict our business and financing activities. Our failure to comply with these covenants may result in an acceleration of our indebtedness, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.***

Our credit facility contains, and any future indebtedness of ours likely would contain, covenants that, subject to certain exceptions, impose significant operating and financial restrictions, including restricting our ability to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• incur additional indebtedness,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• sell material assets,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• retire, redeem or otherwise reacquire our capital stock,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• acquire the capital stock or assets of another business,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• enter into new lines of business,

**RISK FACTORS**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• make investments, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• pay dividends.

In addition, we are required to maintain certain financial covenants. Our ability to comply with the financial covenants may be affected by financial, business, economic, regulatory and other factors beyond our control.

Our failure to comply with these covenants, or any other terms of our indebtedness, could result in a default that may limit our ability to borrow additional amounts under our credit facility, which may adversely affect our liquidity. In addition, a default may allow our lenders to accelerate our obligation to repay the outstanding amounts under our credit facility. If we were unable to repay or refinance the accelerated indebtedness on favorable terms, then our business, financial condition and results of operations would be materially adversely affected.

***A future outbreak of highly infectious or contagious diseases could have a material and adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.***

The spread of a highly infectious or contagious disease could create significant volatility, uncertainty and economic disruption, including as a result of actions taken by businesses and governments in response to such a pandemic that may result in a significant reduction in commercial activity, such as occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic. The extent to which future pandemics impact our business, operations, financial results and financial condition will depend on numerous evolving factors that are highly uncertain and that we may not be able to accurately predict. While such a pandemic is continuing and even after it has subsided, we may experience material adverse impacts to our business, operations and financial results due to any existing or continuing negative economic impact, including a recession, depression, or periods of supply shortages or high inflation, such as experienced in 2022 following the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, future pandemics may change how and when we incur health insurance costs under our health insurance contract with United, such as changes in quarterly levels and timing of both medical and pharmaceutical health insurance claims and processing payment patterns. Accordingly, future pandemics may present, material uncertainty and risk with respect to our business, and may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and business.

**PEO HR Solutions Risks**

***We assume liability for WSEE payroll, payroll taxes, benefits costs and workers' compensation costs and are responsible for their payment regardless of the amount billed to or paid by our clients.***

Under the CSA, we become a co-employer of WSEEs and assume the obligations to pay the salaries, wages and related benefits costs and payroll taxes of such WSEEs. Our obligations include responsibility for the following even if our costs exceed the fees the client pays us and the amounts collected from WSEEs:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• payment of the salaries and wages for work performed by WSEEs, regardless of whether the client timely pays us the associated service fee

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• withholding and payment of federal and state payroll taxes with respect to wages and salaries reported by Insperity

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• providing one or more benefits to WSEEs

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• providing workers' compensation coverage to WSEEs

Further, the increase in remote work, including by WSEEs, has complicated the calculation of payroll and unemployment taxes applicable to those individuals. We are dependent on our PEO HR Solutions clients to properly report the locations in which WSEEs perform services. If a regulatory authority were to determine that we did not properly calculate or transmit these amounts, then we could be subject to fines, penalties, or other liabilities, which we may not be able to recover from our clients. We may also need to devote additional resources and incur additional costs to modify our systems to address any such compliance issues.

If a client does not pay us, if the costs of services we provide to WSEEs exceed the fees a client pays us, or if we incur fines and penalties as a result of an adverse determination related to our payroll and unemployment tax calculations, our ultimate liability for WSEE payroll, payroll taxes, workers' compensation and/or benefits costs, as well as any fines or penalties, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

**RISK FACTORS**

***Increases in health insurance costs or our inability to secure replacement health insurance coverage on competitive terms could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.***

Maintaining health insurance plans that cover WSEEs is a significant part of our business. Our primary health insurance contract expires on December 31, 2028, subject to cancellation by either party upon 180 days' notice. We believe that there are a limited number of health insurance providers with the national coverage necessary to support our approach to providing healthcare benefits. In the event we are unable to secure replacement contracts on competitive terms, significant disruption and harm to our business could occur.

Health insurance costs are in part determined by our plans' claims experience and comprise a significant portion of our direct costs. Our health insurance coverage is provided under policies or service contracts that are fully insured. United is the carrier that insures the majority of our coverage. Although all of our carriers remain responsible to pay all covered claims, under our health insurance contract with United, we retain an obligation to United to fund the cost of the plan. The profitability of our PEO HR Solutions is affected by the overall expenses associated with the cost of delivering our services, one of the largest of which is the cost of our health insurance. Our ability to accurately anticipate the expenses associated with the plans, including claims costs on a quarterly or annual basis, can impact our results of operations. If the plans experience an unexpected increase in the number or severity of claims, our associated health insurance costs could increase beyond anticipated levels, as we have experienced in the past, most recently in 2025. These costs are further impacted by a number of factors, including coverage options elected by employees, macro-economic changes, proposed and enacted regulatory changes, wide-spread health-related outbreaks, increased utilization of new pharmaceuticals, and the use of AI-based billing solutions by healthcare providers. Contractual arrangements and competitive market conditions may limit or delay our ability to increase service fees to offset any associated potential increased costs associated with the plans, which could substantially impair our financial condition or results of operations. Further, if the overall pricing of our services includes cost assumptions based on inaccurate forecasts of plan expenses, our profitability or our ability to attract and retain clients may be adversely impacted. As a result, if we do not accurately forecast the costs of our plans, our business, financial condition or results of operations may be materially adversely affected. For additional information related to our health insurance costs, please read <u>[Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates—Benefits Costs."](#ie9b476c900334a0a87a97c6c8297f6e7_3226)</u>

***Health care reform could affect our health insurance plan and could lead to a significant disruption in our business.***

Many of our clients select a PEO HR Solution pursuant to which we offer the health and welfare benefit plans sponsored by us to the WSEEs co-employed by those clients. The future impact and direction of healthcare reform, including future legislative or executive actions, is unknown and, if any such developments were to reduce our ability to make health care benefits available to WSEEs or were to make our offerings less attractive to our clients, then our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.

Supporters in various states have advocated and continue to advocate for adoption of health care-related reforms at the state level, which has the potential to significantly change the insurance marketplace for small and medium-sized businesses and how employers provide insurance to employees. Additionally, guidance by the IRS and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services ("HHS") has not addressed or in some instances is unclear as to the application of certain aspects of federal health care reform laws in the PEO relationship or whether such provisions should be applied at the PEO or client level.

Various states have adopted or are considering reforms that may impact the requirements for or availability of PEO-sponsored health plans. At this time, the insurance market reforms have not had a material adverse impact on our business operations, and if any future changes impact our ability to attract and retain clients, or our ability to increase service fees to offset any increased costs, then our business may be materially adversely affected.

Subsequent changes resulting from action that may be taken at the federal or state level may impact our benefit plans, business model and future results of operations, including repeal or repeal and replacement of current healthcare reform provisions as has been advocated by some in the Presidential administration and Congressional leaders. In future periods, changes may result in increased costs to us and could affect our ability to attract and retain clients. Additionally, contractual arrangements and competitive market conditions may limit or delay our ability to increase service fees to offset any associated potential increased costs. We are currently unable to determine whether potential future healthcare reform changes or other regulatory action, including at the state level, may adversely affect our business or market conditions.

**RISK FACTORS**

***A determination that we are not the employer of our WSEEs and an inability to offer alternate benefit plans could have a material adverse effect on our business.***

In order to qualify for favorable tax treatment under the Code, employee benefit plans must be established and maintained by an employer for the exclusive benefit of its employees. Generally, an entity is an "employer" of individuals for federal employment tax purposes if an employment relationship exists between the entity and the individuals under the common law test of employment. In addition, the officers of a corporation are deemed to be employees of that corporation for federal employment tax purposes. The common law test of employment, as applied by the IRS, involves an examination of approximately 20 factors to ascertain whether an employment relationship exists between a worker and a purported employer. Generally, the test is applied to determine whether an individual is an independent contractor or an employee for federal employment tax purposes and not to determine whether each of two or more companies is a "co-employer." Substantial weight is typically given to the question of whether the purported employer has the right to direct and control the details of an individual's work. Among the factors that appear to have been considered more important by the IRS are:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the employer's degree of behavioral control (the extent of instructions, training and the nature of the work)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the financial control or the economic aspects of the relationship

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the intended relationship of the parties (whether employee benefits are provided, whether any contracts exist, whether services are ongoing or for a project, whether there are any penalties for discharge/termination, and the frequency of the business activity)

Employee retirement and welfare benefit plans are also governed by ERISA. ERISA defines "employer" as "any person acting directly as an employer, or indirectly in the interest of an employer, in relation to an employee benefit plan." ERISA defines the term "employee" as "any individual employed by an employer." The United States Supreme Court has held that the common law test of employment must be applied to determine whether an individual is an employee or an independent contractor under ERISA. A definitive judicial interpretation of "employer" in the context of a PEO or employee leasing arrangement has not been established.

If Insperity were found not to be an employer with respect to WSEEs for ERISA purposes, our plans would not comply with ERISA and/or the Code. Further, as a result of such finding, Insperity and our plans would not enjoy, with respect to WSEEs, the preemption of state laws provided by ERISA and could be subject to varying state laws and regulations as well as to claims based upon state common laws. In addition, if Insperity were found not to be the employer sponsoring a single-employer plan under ERISA for purposes of our health benefits plan, we could be subject to additional requirements under state and federal laws that could restrict our ability to provide benefits to our WSEEs in the same manner that we do today, which could negatively impact our business. In the case of any such events, we would endeavor to make available similar benefits at comparable costs in a manner that complied with applicable state laws. However, if we were unable to promptly transition our benefit plans to a compliant structure with terms that were acceptable to our clients and at a comparable cost to us, then our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

***Increases in workers' compensation costs or our inability to secure replacement coverage on competitive terms could lead to a significant disruption and harm to our business.***

Our workers' compensation coverage has been provided through an arrangement with Chubb since 2007. Under our current arrangement with Chubb for claims incurred on or before September 30, 2019, we have a financial responsibility to Chubb for the first $1 million layer of claims per occurrence and for claims over $1 million, up to a maximum aggregate amount of $6 million per policy year for claims that exceed the first $1 million. Effective for claims incurred on or after October 1, 2019, our financial responsibility increased as we have financial responsibility to Chubb for the first $1.5 million layer of claims per occurrence and for claims over $1.5 million, up to a maximum aggregate amount of $6 million per policy year for claims that exceed $1.5 million. Chubb bears the financial responsibility for all claims in excess of these levels. The Chubb Program is a fully insured program whereby Chubb has the responsibility to pay all claims incurred under the policies regardless of whether we satisfy our responsibilities. For additional discussion of our policy with Chubb, please read <u>[Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates—Workers' Compensation Costs."](#ie735a4bf384a4aec98e8003b26424ae2_4369)</u>

Workers' compensation costs are a significant portion of our direct costs and contractual arrangements and competitive market conditions may limit or delay our ability to increase service fees to offset any associated potential increased costs. If we were to experience an unexpected large increase in the number or severity of claims, our workers' compensation

**RISK FACTORS**

costs could increase, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Further, if the overall pricing of our services includes cost assumptions based on inaccurate forecasts of our workers' compensation costs, our profitability or our ability to attract and retain clients may be adversely impacted.

The current workers' compensation coverage with Chubb expires on September 30, 2026. In the event we are unable to secure replacement coverage on competitive terms, significant disruption to our business could occur.

***Our ability to adjust and collect service fees for increases in unemployment or other tax rates may be limited.***

We record our SUI expense based on taxable wages and tax rates assigned by each state. SUI tax rates vary by state and are determined, in part, based on prior years' compensation experience in each state. Prior to the receipt of final rate notices, we estimate our expected SUI rate in those states for which rate notices have not yet been received for purposes of forecasting and pricing. In a period of adverse economic conditions, state unemployment funds may experience a significant increase in the number of unemployment claims. Accordingly, SUI rates would likely increase substantially. Some states have the ability under law to increase SUI rates retroactively to cover deficiencies in the unemployment fund. In addition, FUTA may be retroactively increased in certain states in the event the state fails to timely repay federal unemployment loans, as we recently experienced with California and New York in 2024 and California in 2025.

Generally, our contractual agreements allow us to incorporate such statutory increases into our service fees upon the effective date of the rate change. However, this right does not extend to our former clients and, even with respect to our existing clients, our ability to fully adjust service fees in our billing systems and collect such increases over the remaining term of the clients' contracts could be limited, resulting in a potential increase not being fully recovered. As a result, such increases could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

***Many of our contracts for our PEO HR Solutions may be canceled on short notice. Our inability to renew client contracts or attract new clients could materially and adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations.***

Our standard CSA can generally be canceled by us or the client with 30 days' notice. Accordingly, the short-term nature of the CSA makes us vulnerable to potential cancellations by existing PEO HR Solutions clients, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations. Our middle market sector, which we generally define as those companies with employees ranging from approximately 150 to 5,000 WSEEs, represented 26% of our average paid WSEEs, and clients with an average number of WSEEs that exceed 1,000 WSEEs represented 2% during 2025. Our new **HR**Scale solution targets larger clients and could increase the number of clients with over 1,000 WSEEs. In the event we have large clients that terminate or an increase in terminating clients from our middle market client base, the financial impact of such an event could be significant. Also, our results of operations are dependent in part upon our ability to retain or replace our clients upon the termination or cancellation of the CSA. Our client attrition rate was approximately 17% in 2025. There can be no assurance that the number of contract cancellations will continue at these levels and such cancellations may increase in the future due to various factors, including economic conditions in the markets we operate. Clients electing to purchase our services or electing an alternative solution often do so at the beginning of the calendar year. As a result, we typically experience our largest concentration of new client additions and attrition in the first quarter of each year.

***Our loss of insurance coverage, the failure of our insurance carriers or increased insurance costs or deductibles could have a material adverse effect on us.***

As part of our PEO HR Solutions, in addition to our health insurance carriers, we contract with other insurance carriers to provide workers' compensation insurance and employment practices liability insurance. In addition, we obtain insurance coverage for various commercial risks in our business such as property insurance, errors and omissions insurance, cyber liability insurance, general liability insurance, fiduciary liability insurance and ERISA bond coverage, automobile liability insurance, and directors' and officers' liability insurance. The failure of any insurance carrier with respect to a previous workers' compensation insurance provider, providing such coverage could leave us exposed to uninsured risk and could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. In addition, in the event that our primary health carriers in any key market make material changes to their network of health care providers or facilities, such as the discontinuation of prominent hospital networks in key markets on occasion by a carrier in connection with their ongoing negotiations with those networks, then our ability to attract and retain clients in that market may be adversely affected, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. Further, we have experienced an increase in insurance premiums for our corporate policies as well as an increase in the deductible amounts for which we retain liability and a decrease in coverage limits. If these premiums or deductible amounts continue to increase, or

**RISK FACTORS**

coverage limits continue to decrease we would have increased exposure with respect to costs and insurance claims, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

***A determination that a client is liable for employment taxes not paid by a PEO may discourage clients from contracting with us in the future.***

Under the CSA, we assume sole responsibility and liability for paying federal employment taxes imposed under the Code with respect to wages and salaries we pay our WSEEs. There are essentially three types of federal employment tax obligations:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• income tax withholding requirements

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• FICA

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• FUTA

Under the Code, employers have the obligation to withhold and remit the employer portion and, where applicable, the employee portion of these taxes. The SBEA clarifies that a CPEO is treated as the employer for purposes of federal payroll taxes on wages it pays to WSEEs. Most states impose similar employment tax obligations on the employer. While the CSA provides that we have sole legal responsibility for making these tax contributions, the applicable state taxing authority could conclude that such liability cannot be completely transferred to us. Accordingly, in the event that we fail to meet our tax withholding and payment obligations, the client may be held jointly and severally liable for those obligations. While this interpretive issue has not, to our knowledge, discouraged clients from enrolling with Insperity, a definitive adverse resolution of this issue may discourage clients from enrolling in the future.

***New and higher federal, state and local taxes could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.***

In times of economic slowdowns, the federal government and states and municipalities in which we operate may experience reductions in tax revenues and corresponding budget deficits. In response to budget shortfalls, such as those experienced during the COVID pandemic, the federal government and many states and municipalities have in the past and may in the future increase or enact new taxes on businesses operating within their tax jurisdiction, including business activity taxes and income taxes. In addition, federal, state and local taxing agencies may increase their audit activity in an effort to identify additional tax revenues. New tax assessments on our operations could result in increased costs. Our ability to adjust our service fees and incorporate additional tax assessments into our billing system could be limited. As a result, such higher taxes could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

***We may be subject to liabilities for client and employee actions.***

As a co-employer in the PEO relationship, we assume or share many of the employer-related responsibilities and assist our clients in complying with many employment-related governmental regulations. A number of legal issues remain unresolved with respect to the co-employment arrangement between a PEO and its WSEEs, including questions concerning the ultimate liability for violations of employment, payroll, discrimination, and workplace safety laws. Our CSA establishes the contractual division of responsibilities between Insperity and our clients for various human capital management matters, including compliance with and liability under various governmental regulations. Also, we maintain an employment practices liability insurance policy for our clients.

Because we act as a co-employer, we may be subject to liability for violations of various employment, payroll, discrimination, privacy and biometric consent, and workplace safety laws despite these contractual provisions, even if we do not participate in such violations. AI-based technologies may also facilitate the ability of WSEEs, either on their own or with the assistance of counsel, to bring claims, which could impact the cost of the employment practices liability insurance that we provide or result in increased costs to us if we are also named in any such claims. Although the CSA generally requires the client to indemnify us for certain liabilities attributable to the client's conduct and for the deductible under our employment practices liability insurance policy that we maintain on their behalf, we may not be able to collect on such a contractual indemnification claim and thus may be responsible for satisfying such liabilities to the extent that such liabilities are not covered or insured against under our insurance policies. These amounts could be significant and could result in increased insurance premiums for us, any of which could impact our business, financial condition or results of operations.

**RISK FACTORS**

***Changes in federal, state and local regulation or our inability to obtain licenses under new regulatory frameworks could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.***

As a major employer, our operations are affected by numerous federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to labor, tax, benefit, insurance and employment matters. By entering into a co-employer relationship with employees assigned to work at client locations, we assume certain obligations and responsibilities of an employer under these laws. However, many of these current laws (such as the Act, ERISA, and some state insurance codes and employment tax laws) do not specifically address the obligations and responsibilities of non-traditional employers such as PEOs, and the definition of "employer" under these laws is not uniform despite the SBEA having provided clarification under federal employment tax laws for CPEOs. Some governmental programs and incentives designed to assist businesses and employees require us to make changes to our processes and systems in order to comply as an employer or to enable our clients and our WSEEs to benefit from these programs. For example, during the COVID pandemic, the CARES Act allowed companies to defer certain payroll taxes, which were reflected in the payrolls we processed for those clients and required us to make certain changes, without clear regulatory guidance. If we are unable to meet these requirements or make these changes, we could be subject to governmental fines or penalties or we may not meet client expectations, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

In addition, many of the states in which we operate have not addressed the PEO relationship for purposes of compliance with applicable state laws governing the employer/employee relationship or PEO health insurance plans. Any adverse application of, or adverse legislative/regulatory response to, new or existing federal or state laws to the PEO relationship with our WSEEs and client companies could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

While some states do not explicitly regulate PEOs, 42 states have passed laws that have recognition, licensing, certification or registration requirements for PEOs and several other states are considering such regulation. Such laws vary from state to state, but generally provide for monitoring the fiscal responsibility of PEOs, and in some cases codify and clarify the co-employment relationship for unemployment, workers' compensation and other purposes under state law. In addition, the SBEA provides certain benefits for companies that qualify as a CPEO. While we generally support licensing regulation because it serves to validate the PEO relationship, we may not be able to satisfy licensing requirements or other applicable regulations for all states. In addition, there can be no assurance that we will be able to renew our licenses in all states or that we will be able to maintain our CPEO designation.

Certain state and federal regulators are more closely evaluating the existing regulatory framework governing money services businesses and money transmitters in their jurisdictions, particularly following the high-profile failures in 2019 of several national payroll companies. While we maintain that we are not a money services business or money transmitter, the adoption of new, or changes in interpretations of existing, state and federal money transmitter or money services business statutes, or disagreements by regulatory authorities with our interpretation of such statutes or regulations, could subject us to registration or licensing or result in limitations on our business activities until we are appropriately licensed, and such additional regulation and the actions of the regulatory authorities could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. These occurrences could also require changes to the manner in which we conduct some aspects of our business. In addition, should any state or federal regulators make a determination that we have operated as an unlicensed money services business or money transmitter, we could be subject to civil and criminal fines, penalties, costs, legal fees, reputational damage or other negative consequences, which could be material.

Further, if we were to be deemed to be subject to other regulatory requirements applicable to other businesses, such as rules or regulations applicable to new services that we may offer such as earned wage access, then we may need to hire additional personnel, incur additional costs in order to maintain compliance, or be subjected to fines, penalties, or other liabilities, which could be material.

**RISK FACTORS**

***Competition and other developments in the HR services industry, including the impact of AI, may impact our growth and/or profitability.***

The human resources services industry, including the PEO industry, is highly fragmented. Many PEOs have limited operations and fewer than 2,500 WSEEs, but there are several industry participants that are comparable to our size or larger. We also encounter competition from "fee for service" companies such as payroll processing firms, insurance companies, human resources consultants and human resources technology solutions as well as web-based self-service bundled human resources offerings. Our competitors include the PEO divisions of large business services companies, such as Automatic Data Processing, Inc. and Paychex, Inc., and other national PEOs such as TriNet Group, Inc., Vensure, and Rippling. In many cases, these competitors offer a reduced service PEO offering at a lower price than our PEO HR Solutions. We expect that as the PEO industry grows and its regulatory framework becomes better established, well organized competition with greater resources than we have may enter the PEO market, possibly including large "fee for service" companies currently providing a more limited range of services. In addition, competitors may be able to offer or develop new technology-based lower service models that may require us to make substantial investments in order to effectively compete. Further, AI may accelerate the ability of new competitors to enter the market with a lower cost or different business model, or may reduce the need of our clients and target market for the types of services that our PEO HR Solutions provide.

We offer a lower priced reduced service level PEO offering referred to as **HR**360 Select Edition in response to certain middle market client needs and the evolving PEO marketplace. As of December 2025, approximately 16% of our WSEEs were co-employed by **HR**360 Select Edition clients. In the event we were to experience a significant increase in the number of clients using the **HR**360 Select Edition offering or increased pricing pressures in the PEO marketplace without corresponding reductions in operating costs, our operating margins may decline, which could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

**Technology Risks**

***Evolving regulations, market trends and client expectations require us to constantly enhance and expand our service and technology offerings.***

The HR services industry is experiencing rapid technological advances, including as a result of AI, to meet client expectations and expanding regulations. As new regulations are adopted, we must modify our systems to address these changes in the law, such as our efforts to implement the assistance provided to businesses and employees under the Covid relief programs, Secure 2.0 Act of 2022, and the OBBB. In order to make these types of modifications, we may be required to reallocate resources, potentially resulting in delays to planned competitive improvements to our systems. If we do not successfully or timely deploy these types of modifications, we may be unable to comply with regulations, which could subject us to penalties, damage our reputation or result in decreased sales. Further, in order to effectively compete in this environment, we must identify and predict trends, and adapt our technology and service offerings accordingly, including by leveraging AI in our solutions. In addition, if a larger portion of our client base falls within the middle market segment, we must also develop different technology and services to meet the more complex needs and demands of this key group, including by developing our new **HR**Scale solution that is based on our proprietary Workday-based client tenant. (Please see "—*<u>[We may not fully realize the anticipated benefits of our strategic partnership and](#ie2076827f98745e3b9c8db54420980d0_3617)[joint solution with Workday, which could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition or results of operations](#ie2076827f98745e3b9c8db54420980d0_3617)</u>.*" below for a further discussion.) These efforts may require us to devote substantial resources to develop new functionality, or to integrate third-party solutions, into our offerings. If we fail to respond successfully to these developments or we make investments in enhancements that are not accepted by the market, then the demand for our solutions and services may diminish.

***Disruptions of our information technology systems could damage our reputation and materially disrupt our business operations.***

Many of the HR services offerings we provide to clients are conducted through a technology infrastructure using both internally developed and purchased commercial software, a wide variety of hardware infrastructure technologies, and a multi-carrier wide area network. The processing of payroll, benefits and other transactions is dependent upon this complex infrastructure, some of which is provided by third-party vendors. We must manage all of these systems, and are dependent on third parties to manage the systems that we obtain from them, including any upgrades, replacements or enhancements, to ensure that they continue to support our services. For example, in connection with our **HR**Scale offering, we developed a joint solution that utilizes a proprietary instance of Workday's HCM solution that is integrated with

**RISK FACTORS**

third parties and with our proprietary systems for our PEO HR Solutions. We also continue to monitor and make changes to our proprietary system for our PEO HR Solutions for compliance and modernization. Any delays or failures resulting from network outages; planned upgrades, enhancements, or replacements of software, hardware, or other systems, including in connection with our **HR**Scale offering or any updated for compliance and modernization of systems; or other data processing disruptions, even for a brief period of time, could result in our inability to timely process transactions. The speed with which we, or third-party vendors, are able to address significant cybersecurity incidents may be influenced by the cooperation of certain government agencies. We may also incur significant costs in the future to protect against damage or disruptions that could be caused by cybersecurity incidents or to address privacy violations. If such failures cause us to not meet client service expectations or to breach our obligations to our clients, we may lose existing clients, have difficulty attracting new clients, incur regulatory penalties or liability to our clients, or suffer other financial losses, which may have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

***We could be subject to reduced revenues, increased costs, liability claims, or harm to our competitive position as a result of data theft, cyberattacks or other security vulnerabilities.***

In connection with our offerings, we collect, use, transmit and store large amounts of personal and business information about our WSEEs, employees paid under our traditional payroll solution, and clients, including payroll information, personal and business financial data, social security numbers, bank account numbers, tax information and other sensitive personal and business information. Attacks on information technology systems continue to grow in frequency and sophistication (including the use of emerging artificial intelligence ("AI") technologies), and we and our third-party vendors are targeted by unauthorized parties using malicious tactics, code and viruses. Hardware or applications we develop or procure from third-party vendors may contain defects in design or other problems that could unexpectedly compromise the confidentiality, integrity or availability of data or our systems. Because the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access and disable or sabotage systems change frequently and may be difficult to detect for long periods of time, we and our third-party vendors may be unable to anticipate these techniques or implement adequate preventive measures. Further, increased reliance by us and our clients on remote workforces impacts our control over cybersecurity protection and service stability and performance, which increases our exposure to cybersecurity and privacy issues. As these threats continue to evolve, we may be required to invest significant additional resources to modify and enhance our information security and controls or to investigate and remediate any security vulnerabilities. We have limited ability to monitor the implementation of similar safeguards by our vendors and do not have the ability to monitor such implementation by our clients or their employees, including WSEEs.

In addition, our services also involve the use and disclosure of personal and business information to us that could be used by a malicious party to commit identity theft or otherwise gain access to the data or funds of our clients or their employees, including WSEEs. If any person, including any corporate employee or WSEE, misappropriates or misuses such funds, documents or data, we may have liability for damages, and our reputation could be substantially harmed and we may have other liabilities that could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We also use a variety of tools to assist with our targeted digital marketing efforts, which is one of our principal means of identifying and engaging with prospective clients. Evolving and expanding privacy laws may limit our ability to attract new clients and our violation of these laws could subject us to litigation, fines and penalties, which could be substantial.

Further, we increasingly rely on third-party hosted solutions as part of our operations. We have limited ability to ensure that these parties are maintaining adequate cybersecurity safeguards or that they are using our data, which could include personal information of WSEEs, in accordance with our contract and their privacy policy. In the event of a misappropriation of private WSEE information in possession of the third parties, we may be liable to the WSEEs and subject to governmental fines and penalties, any of which could be material, and we may be limited in our ability to seek indemnity or reimbursement from the third party.

Any cyberattack, unauthorized intrusion, malicious software infiltration, network disruption, denial of service attack, ransomware attack, corruption of data, theft of private or other sensitive information, or similar malicious act by a party (including our corporate employees or WSEEs), or inadvertent acts or omissions by our vendors or clients, our own corporate employees or WSEEs, could result in the loss, disclosure or misuse of confidential or proprietary information, and could have a material adverse effect on our business operations or that of our clients, result in liability or regulatory sanction, or cause a loss of confidence in our ability to serve clients. We may not have adequate insurance coverage to compensate us for losses from a security incident. Accordingly, the impact of a data security incident could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

**RISK FACTORS**

***Failure to comply with privacy, data protection, biometric, AI, and cybersecurity laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, results of operations or financial condition, or have other adverse consequences.***

We are subject to various laws, rules and regulations relating to the collection, use, transmission and security and privacy of personal and business information. Most states and the District of Columbia have enacted notification rules that may require notification to regulators, clients or employees in the event of a privacy breach. In addition, new laws and regulations governing data privacy and the unauthorized disclosure of confidential information pose increasingly complex compliance challenges and potentially elevate our costs. It is possible that these laws and regulations may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent with our data practices. If so, in addition to the possibility of fines, this could result in an order requiring that we change our data practices, which could have a material adverse effect on our business. Complying with these various laws and regulations could cause us to incur substantial costs or require us to change our business practices in a manner adverse to our business. For example, we incurred additional costs and reallocated internal resources in order to comply with the requirements of the California Privacy Rights Act ("CPRA"), which amended the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 ("CCPA") and became effective on January 1, 2023, which has required us to reallocate additional resources in order to manage compliance in light of the changes implemented by the CPRA. Other states have adopted or are currently contemplating additional privacy requirements. Some states have also adopted laws regarding the use of biometric data, which laws may be applicable to us or our clients that use timeclocks or other HR technology with biometric scanners. Also, in recent years, legislation that creates obligations with respect to the development and/or use of AI has been adopted or is under consideration in the U.S. at both the federal and state level. As a result, current or future laws (including product liability regimes), regulatory or self-regulatory requirements or ethical considerations, including our own published, guiding ethical principles regarding AI and machine learning, could restrict or impose burdensome and costly requirements on our ability to leverage data and/or these technologies in innovative ways. Generally, these laws do not address the co-employment relationship, which requires us to make determinations as to the requirements applicable to our WSEEs and our PEO HR Solutions clients. The future enactment of similar laws, rules or regulations, or an adverse determination as to the applicability of these laws, rules, or regulations to us, could have a material adverse impact on us through increased costs or restrictions on our businesses and noncompliance could result in regulatory penalties and significant liability. Additionally, any failure by us to comply with these laws and regulations, including as a result of a security or privacy breach, could result in significant penalties and liabilities for us.

***The failure of third-party providers, such as financial institutions, data centers, or cloud-service providers, could have a material adverse effect on us.***

In conjunction with providing services to clients, we communicate and rely on financial institutions to electronically transfer funds for the collection of our comprehensive service fee as well as the payment of wages and associated payroll tax withholdings. Communication failures or other failures involving these financial institutions, for any reason, could cause material interruptions to our operations, impact client retention, and result in significant penalties or liabilities to us.

We lease hosting facilities for our data centers at two separate facilities with one facility acting as our primary data center. These facilities host our internally-developed business applications, telecommunications equipment, information security infrastructure, and network equipment. If our data centers experience any interruptions or outages, and our business continuity plan is delayed or fails, then our operations may be materially impacted, which could result in our failure to meet our obligations to our clients, WSEEs, tax authorities, and/or other vendors, which could damage our reputation, subject us to liability, and have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

In addition, many of our systems and services rely upon third-party technology. For example, Insperity **HR**Scale that is under development with Workday utilizes Workday's HCM. Other examples include the human capital management system on which our **HR**Core solution is based, the data analytics solution on which our Insperity People Analytics solution is based, and the payroll tax calculation and reporting tools that provide the rates used to calculate payroll taxes for our PEO HR Solutions, among others. Any failure by these service providers to deliver their services in a timely manner and in compliance with applicable laws could result in material interruptions to our operations; subject us to substantial fines, penalties, and other liabilities; damage our reputation; and result in a loss of clients.

**RISK FACTORS**

**Other Operational Risks**

***We may not fully realize the anticipated benefits of our strategic partnership and joint solution with Workday, which could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition or results of operations.***

We have announced a strategic partnership and are developing a joint solution with Workday known as Insperity **HR**Scale. In 2025, we announced that we had entered into agreements with clients for our **HR**Scale solution, our joint solution with Workday, commencing in the first quarter of 2026. Insperity **HR**Scale involves, among other things, the offering of our PEO services using Workday's human capital management solution, as well as joint marketing and sales efforts. The joint solution also requires integration with other third-party vendors and with our proprietary system for our PEO HR Solutions. The success of the strategic partnership and Insperity **HR**Scale will depend on many factors, and we may not realize all, or any, of the anticipated benefits. We have devoted substantial resources and incurred significant costs to develop Insperity **HR**Scale, and expect to continue to devote additional substantial resources and to spend additional significant amounts. The strategic partnership and development of Insperity **HR**Scale involve numerous risks, including that we may be unable to complete the implementation of Insperity **HR**Scale, or that implementation of Insperity **HR**Scale may be more difficult, time-consuming, or costly than expected, including due to difficulties with integrations with third party vendors. We may also not receive the expected sales, marketing, and other benefits from the strategic partnership.

The full benefit of the strategic partnership requires the cooperation of the two companies on sales, marketing, and technology matters, as well as our ability to successfully integrate and implement Insperity **HR**Scale with our other processes and systems in a manner that allows us to maintain compliance as a professional employer organization and incorporate appropriate financial and management systems and controls. In addition, we may fail to effectively market or sell Insperity **HR**Scale, or there may be less demand than anticipated for Insperity **HR**Scale. The strategic partnership and implementation of Insperity **HR**Scale, may divert the attention of our technology, service, compliance, marketing, sales, management, and other teams away from our existing business solutions, which could result in the loss of existing or prospective clients or fines, penalties, or other liabilities if our existing business solutions and compliance are disrupted. We may also have conflicts or disagreements with Workday, which could disrupt the strategic partnership, could impact the development of Insperity **HR**Scale, and could lead to termination of the strategic partnership.

The occurrence of one or more of these events could result in our failure to achieve anticipated growth or revenues, or require us to devote additional resources to the strategic partnership or to Insperity **HR**Scale, or to lose the investments made relating to the development of Insperity **HR**Scale, any of which could result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations, as well as reputational damage that could negatively impact our sales and retention efforts.

***Failure to integrate or realize the expected return on future product offerings, including through acquisitions, strategic partnerships, and investments, could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition or results of operations.***

We have adopted a strategy to market and sell additional solutions within and outside of our PEO HR Solutions. As part of this strategy, periodically we make strategic long-term decisions to partner with (including as a reseller arrangement), invest in and/or acquire new companies, business units or assets in order to offer new or enhanced solutions. Offering new solutions involves a number of risks such as entering markets or businesses in which we have no prior experience and that may be highly regulated; failing to integrate the new solution into our product and service offerings; diversion of technology, service, compliance, marketing, sales, management and other teams from other business concerns; in the case of a partnership or reseller arrangement, reliance on the service and technology of the third party; in the case of an investment or acquisition, over-valuation of the targeted business; and litigation or government action resulting from the activities of an acquired company or of our partner or from offering the new solution in a non-compliant manner. The occurrence of one or more of these events could result in the loss of existing or prospective clients or employees, not achieving anticipated revenues or profitability, impairment of acquired assets, and substantial liability. Such developments could have a material impact to our business, financial condition, results of operations, and future growth rates, and could also result in reputational damage that could negatively impact our sales and retention efforts.

**OTHER INFORMATION**

**Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.**

None.

**Item 1C. Cybersecurity.**

We recognize the critical importance of developing, implementing, and maintaining a robust cybersecurity risk management, strategy, and governance program in order to safeguard the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our systems and information.

***Board Oversight of Cybersecurity Matters***

Our Board has established oversight mechanisms to help ensure effective governance in managing risks associated with cybersecurity threats.

In addition to the updates that our Board receives on cybersecurity matters, the Board's Finance, Risk Management and Audit Committee (the "FRMA Committee") is tasked with overseeing enterprise risk management. The FRMA Committee reviews and discusses major risk exposures with management, including cybersecurity risks, and steps management has taken to monitor and control such exposures, including our guidelines and policies concerning risk assessment and management.

***Management of and Reporting on Cybersecurity Matters***

Our management assumes responsibility for assessing, identifying, and managing cybersecurity risks, threats, and incidents.

In particular, our Senior Vice President of Innovative Technology Solutions ("SVP-ITS") is responsible for our overall technology strategy, including overseeing our information security function and plays a pivotal role in assessing and managing all cybersecurity risks, threats, and incidents. The SVP-ITS reports directly to our President and Chief Operating Officer ("President and COO") and maintains regular dialogue with our President and COO and other key members of our senior management to ensure these individuals are appropriately apprised of our latest cybersecurity posture and developments, such as new threats, incidents, risks, and risk management solutions. Our SVP-ITS prepares reports for each regular Board meeting regarding significant developments in these topics to support the Board in its efforts to have appropriate information to exercise oversight on critical cybersecurity issues. Our current SVP-ITS has decades of experience overseeing leading systems and software development efforts with critical cybersecurity components.

The SVP-ITS is supported by dedicated information technology and security personnel and resources, including team members that have numerous cybersecurity certifications, including a vice president of cybersecurity and risk management who holds a Ph.D. in information systems and a variety of security certifications, including CISSP. Collectively, these personnel and resources allow us to strategically integrate cybersecurity into our broader risk management framework and decision-making process.

We also have an Enterprise Risk Management Steering Committee (the "ERM Steering Committee"), which is responsible for formally identifying and evaluating risks that may affect our ability to execute our corporate strategy and fulfill our business objectives, including cybersecurity risks. The ERM Steering Committee is chaired by the Company's chief financial officer and includes the Company's SVP-ITS, general counsel, internal audit director, and other members of management. The ERM Steering Committee conducts an annual comprehensive risk review of our overall risk profile and analyzes any significant identified risks, including consideration of risks relating to cybersecurity matters, which the ERM Steering Committee then presents and discusses with the FRMA Committee and the entire Board. In addition to the formal annual review, members of the ERM Steering Committee review and provide periodic updates as appropriate regarding our overall risk profile and any significant identified risks to both the FRMA Committee and the entire Board. In addition, the SVP-ITS periodically meets with the FRMA Committee (including in executive session) and with the entire Board.

We have processes in place that we believe are designed to allow our information security team and management to be informed of and monitor the prevention, detection, mitigation, and remediation of cybersecurity risks. These processes include establishing a formal incident response team, penetration testing, system vulnerability scanning, phishing simulations, tabletop exercises, employee security and compliance training, disaster recovery planning, and other

**OTHER INFORMATION**

exercises to evaluate the effectiveness of our information security program and improve our security measures and planning.

***Engagement of Third Parties on Risk Management***

Recognizing the complexity and evolving nature of cybersecurity threats, we engage with a range of external experts, including cybersecurity consultants and systems auditors, in evaluating and testing our risk management systems. Our collaboration with these third parties includes regular audits, threat and vulnerability assessments, incident response plan design and testing, penetration testing, and consultation on improving our defense-in-depth security posture.

***Overseeing Third-Party Risk***

We have processes in place designed to help us identify and oversee cybersecurity risks associated with our use of vendors, service providers, business partners, and other third parties that process our data on our behalf or have access to our systems. These processes include a vendor management policy designed to identify and consider potential risks from third parties as part of the vendor section process, which considers vendor cybersecurity standards and other factors based on the nature of the services that the vendor will provide.

***Impact on the Company***

We have experienced, and may continue to experience, cyber incidents in the normal course of our business. However, prior cybersecurity incidents have not had a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. For further discussion, see <u>[Item 1A. "Risk Factors – Disruptions of our information technology systems could damage our reputation and materially disrupt our business operations](#i3eea848da3dc460fa42505481f4781c6_280)</u>" and <u>[Item 1A. "Risk Factors - We could be subject to reduced revenues, increased costs, liability claims, or harm to our competitive position as a result of data theft, cyberattacks or other security vulnerabilities](#i3eea848da3dc460fa42505481f4781c6_283)</u>."

**PROPERTIES**

**Item 2. Properties.**

We believe our current real estate and facilities are adequate for the purposes for which they are intended and provide for further expansion to accommodate our long-term growth and expansion goals. We believe that short-term leased facilities are readily available if needed to accommodate near-term needs if they arise. We will continue to evaluate the need for additional facilities based on the extent of our product and service offerings, the rate of client growth, the geographic distribution of our client base and our long-term service delivery requirements.

**Corporate Facilities**

Our corporate headquarters is located in Kingwood, Texas, in a campus-style facility. This 33-acre company-owned office campus includes 700,000 square feet of office space and approximately 6 acres of undeveloped land for future expansion. Development and support operations are located in the Kingwood facility.

We currently lease two hosting facilities, totaling approximately 1,800 square feet, that are in different locations. The hosting facilities house the majority of our business applications, telecommunications equipment and network equipment. The facilities, located in Allen, Texas and Austin, Texas, are under lease until 2028 and 2030, respectively.

**Service Centers**

We currently have four regional service centers located in Atlanta, Dallas, Houston and Los Angeles.

The Atlanta service center, which currently services approximately 35% of our WSEE base, is located in a 50,600 square foot facility under lease until 2035.

The Dallas service center, which currently services approximately 22% of our WSEE base, is located in a 45,000 square foot facility under lease until 2031. In addition to the service center operations, the facility also contains sales operations.

The Houston service center, which currently services approximately 23% of our WSEE base, is located on our corporate campus.

The Los Angeles service center, which currently services approximately 20% of our WSEE base, is located in a 39,000 square foot facility under lease until 2029. In addition to the service center operations, the facility also contains sales operations.

**Sales and Service Offices**

As of December 31, 2025, we had sales and service personnel in 73 facilities located in 44 sales markets throughout the United States. All of the facilities are leased and some are shared by multiple sales offices and/or client service personnel. As of December 31, 2025, we had 90 sales offices in these 44 markets. To take advantage of economic efficiencies, multiple sales offices may share a physical location. Each sales office is typically staffed by BPAs, a district sales manager and an office administrator. In addition, we have placed certain client service personnel in a majority of our sales markets to provide high-quality, localized service to our clients in those major markets. We expect to continue placing client service personnel in sales markets as a critical mass of clients is attained in each market.

The statements contained in this annual report that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. The actual results of the future events described in such forward-looking statements in this annual report could differ materially from those stated in such forward-looking statements. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are the risks and uncertainties discussed in <u>[Item 1A. Risk Factors](#i3eea848da3dc460fa42505481f4781c6_202)</u> and the uncertainties set forth from time to time in our other public reports and filings and public statements.

**Executive Summary**

***Overview***

Our long-term strategy is to provide the best small and medium-sized businesses in the United States with our specialized human resources service offerings and to leverage our buying power and expertise to provide additional valuable services to clients.

Our comprehensive HR services offerings are provided through our Insperity<sup>®</sup> **HR**360 solution (formerly Workforce Optimization<sup>®</sup>), our Insperity<sup>®</sup> **HR**360 Select Edition solution (formerly Workforce Synchronization<sup>TM</sup>), and our Insperity<sup>®</sup> **HR**Scale solution (together, our "PEO HR Solutions") which encompass a broad range of HR functions as discussed in <u>[Item 1. Business](#i3eea848da3dc460fa42505481f4781c6_199)</u> — <u>[Service Offerings](#i80d3e1a322e5432bbd8216f8247b7f7d_81870)</u> — <u>[PEO HR Solutions](#i80d3e1a322e5432bbd8216f8247b7f7d_82770)</u>.

***HR****360.* Insperity's **HR**360 solution, our largest source of revenue, is offered to small and medium-sized businesses seeking a comprehensive people strategy. From payroll and employment administration, employee benefits, workers' compensation, government compliance, performance management to training and development, our **HR**360 solution offers a full range of services empowering clients to achieve a sophisticated HR function. **HR**360 provides access to our web-based human capital management platform, Insperity Premier<sup>TM</sup>.

***HR****360 Select Edition.* Insperity's **HR**360 Select Edition solution, which generally is offered only to our middle market client segment, is a lower cost offering with a typically longer commitment that includes the same compliance and administrative services as **HR**360 and allows those clients to select, for an additional fee, from the strategic HR products and services that are included with **HR**360. **HR**360 Select Edition provides access to our web-based human capital management platform, Insperity Premier.

***HR****Scale.* Insperity's **HR**Scale solution is our newest service offering that we jointly developed through our strategic partnership with Workday, Inc. ("Workday"). Insperity's **HR**Scale solution is intended for growing and middle market companies and provides access to the advanced capabilities of Workday Human Capital Management ("HCM"). Our **HR**Scale solution, which is priced higher than our **HR**360 offering, is designed to combine the HR expertise of our **HR**360 solution with the advanced capabilities of Workday HCM, with a focus on affordability, ease and speed of deployment, and agility as companies scale. Insperity's **HR**Scale solution is under development and we expect an initial group of clients to begin using our **HR**Scale solution in the first quarter of 2026.

We also offer a number of other business performance solutions, including Talent Acquisition Services, Retirement Services, Insurance Services, Contractor Management, and Perks+.

***<u>2025 Performance</u>***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Average number of WSEEs paid per month increased 1% to 310,089. Revenues increased 4% on a 3% increase in revenue per WSEE.

**MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We ended 2025 averaging 312,377 paid WSEEs in the fourth quarter of 2025, which represents a 1% increase over the fourth quarter of 2024.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Approximately 26% of our average paid WSEEs were in our middle market sector for both the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, which is generally defined as companies with 150 to 5,000 WSEEs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Gross profit decreased 14% to $900 million. The decrease was primarily due to a 15% decrease in gross profit per WSEE, which was partially offset by a 1% increase in the average number of WSEEs paid per month. Gross profit per WSEE paid per month reflected, in part, a 3% pricing increase offset by a 6% increase in direct costs per WSEE. The increase in direct costs per WSEE was primarily attributable to a 9% increase in benefits costs per participant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Operating expenses decreased 3% in 2025 to $910 million, and included decreases in professional services, travel and event costs, and salary and wages. On a per WSEE per month basis, operating expenses decreased from $253 in 2024 to $245 in 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Net income (loss) and diluted earnings (loss) per share ("Diluted EPS") both decreased 108% to $(7) million and $(0.19), respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Adjusted net income and adjusted EPS both decreased 71% to $39 million and $1.03, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Adjusted EBITDA decreased 51% to $131 million.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our net income (loss) per WSEE per month decreased 108% from $25 in 2024 to $(2) in 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our adjusted EBITDA per WSEE per month decreased 52% from $73 in 2024 to $35 in 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We ended 2025 with working capital of $102 million.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• During 2025, we paid $90 million in dividends, repurchased approximately 232,000 shares of our common stock at a cost of $19 million and paid $31 million in capital expenditures.

Please read "<u>[Non-GAAP Financial Measures](#i3eea848da3dc460fa42505481f4781c6_802)</u>" for a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, and adjusted EPS to their most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP").

***<u>Revenues</u>***

We account for our revenues in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, *Revenue from Contracts with Customers*. Our PEO HR Solutions gross billings to clients include the payroll cost of each WSEE at the client location and a markup computed as a percentage of each WSEEs payroll cost. We invoice the gross billings concurrently with each periodic payroll of our WSEEs. Revenues, which exclude the payroll cost component of gross billings, and therefore, consist solely of the markup, are recognized ratably over the payroll period as WSEEs perform their service at the client worksite. This markup includes pricing components associated with our estimates of payroll taxes, benefits and workers' compensation costs, plus a separate component related to our HR services. Revenues that have been recognized but not invoiced represent unbilled accounts receivable included in accounts receivable, net on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Our revenues are primarily dependent on the number of clients enrolled, the resulting number of WSEEs paid each period and the number of WSEEs enrolled in our benefit plans. Because our total markup is computed as a percentage of payroll cost, certain revenues are also affected by the payroll cost of WSEEs, which may fluctuate based on the composition of the WSEE base, inflationary effects on wage levels and differences in the local economies of our markets.

***<u>Direct Costs</u>***

The primary direct costs associated with revenue-generating activities for our PEO HR Solutions are:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• employment-related taxes ("payroll taxes")

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• costs of employee benefit plans

**MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• workers' compensation costs

Payroll taxes consist of the employer's portion of Social Security and Medicare taxes under FICA, federal unemployment taxes and state unemployment taxes. Payroll taxes are generally paid as a percentage of payroll cost. The federal unemployment tax rates are defined by federal regulations. State unemployment tax rates are subject to claim histories and vary from state to state.

Employee benefits costs are comprised primarily of health insurance premiums and claims costs (including dental and pharmacy costs), but also include costs of other employee benefits such as life insurance, vision care, disability insurance, education assistance, adoption assistance, a flexible spending account program and an employee well-being program.

Workers' compensation costs include administrative and risk charges paid to the insurance carrier, and claims costs, which are driven primarily by the frequency and severity of claims.

***<u>Gross Profit</u>***

Our gross profit per WSEE is primarily determined by our ability to accurately estimate direct costs and our ability to incorporate changes in these costs into the gross billings charged to PEO HR Solutions clients, which are subject to pricing arrangements that are typically renewed annually. We use gross profit per WSEE per month as our principal measurement of relative performance at the gross profit level.

***<u>Operating Expenses</u>***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Salaries, wages and payroll taxes — Salaries, wages and payroll taxes ("salaries") are primarily a function of the number of corporate employees, their associated average pay and any additional cash incentive compensation. Our corporate employees include client services, sales and marketing, benefits, legal, finance, information technology, administrative support personnel and those associated with our other products and services.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Stock-based compensation — Our stock-based compensation relates to the recognition of non-cash compensation expense over the requisite service period of time-based and performance-based incentive plan awards.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Commissions — Commissions expense consists primarily of amounts paid to sales managers and other sales personnel, including BPAs as well as channel referral fees. Commissions are based on new accounts sold and a percentage of revenue generated by such personnel.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Advertising — Advertising expense primarily consists of media advertising and other business promotions in our current and anticipated sales markets, including the Insperity Invitational™ presented by UnitedHealthcare® sponsorship.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• General and administrative expenses — Our general and administrative expenses primarily include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ rent expenses related to our service centers and sales offices

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ outside professional service fees related to legal, consulting and accounting services

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ administrative costs, such as postage, printing and supplies

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ employee travel and training expenses

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ facility costs, including repairs and maintenance

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ technology costs, including software-as-a-service ("SaaS") subscription costs, amortization of SaaS implementation costs, and costs associated with the development and implementation of Insperity **HR**Scale, our joint solution with Workday.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Depreciation and amortization — Depreciation and amortization expense is primarily a function of our capital investments in corporate facilities, service centers, sales offices, software development and technology infrastructure.

***<u>Other Income (Expense)</u>***

Other income (expense) includes interest charges incurred in connection with borrowings under our credit facility and interest income earned on our cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities, restricted cash and deposits. Please read <u>["—Liquidity and Capital Resources"](#i3eea848da3dc460fa42505481f4781c6_832)</u> for additional information.

***<u>Income Taxes</u>***

Our provision for income taxes typically differs from the U.S. statutory rate of 21%, due primarily to state income taxes, non-deductible expenses, vesting of equity awards and various tax credits. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities used for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant items resulting in deferred income taxes include prepaid assets, accruals for workers' compensation expenses, stock-based compensation, software development costs, accrued incentive compensation, operating lease assets and liabilities and depreciation. Changes in these items are reflected in our financial statements through a deferred income tax provision. Please read Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, <u>["Income Taxes,"](#i3eea848da3dc460fa42505481f4781c6_145)</u> for additional information.

***Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates***

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires our management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate these estimates, including those related to health and workers' compensation insurance claims experience, client bad debts, income taxes, property and equipment, goodwill and other intangibles, and contingent liabilities. We base these estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

We believe the following accounting policies are critical and/or require judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Benefits costs — We provide group health insurance coverage under a single-employer plan that covers both our WSEEs in our PEO HR Solutions and our corporate employees and utilizes a national network of carriers including United, UnitedHealthcare of California, Kaiser Permanente, Blue Shield of California, HMSA BlueCross BlueShield of Hawaii, and Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, all of which provide fully insured policies or service contracts.

The health insurance contract with United provides the majority of our health insurance coverage. As a result of certain contractual terms, we have accounted for this program since its inception using a partially self-funded insurance accounting model. Accordingly, we record the costs of the United program, including an estimate of the incurred claims, taxes and administrative fees (collectively the "Program Costs"), as benefits expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The estimated incurred but not reported claims are based upon: (1) the level of claims processed during the quarter; (2) estimated completion rates based upon recent claim development patterns under the program; and (3) the number of participants in the program, 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 benefits costs.

Effective January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2025, our financial responsibility with United was limited to the first $1 million of paid claims per claimant per year. Beginning January 1, 2026, we have the option to annually elect to limit our responsibility for each participant's claim costs to $500,000, $750,000, or $1,000,000 per year, which we elect based on the cost of the limit and our estimate of the benefit of that level of limit. For 2026, we have elected to limit our financial responsibility with United to the first $500,000 of paid claims per claimant per year.

Since the program'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 Program Costs for a reporting quarter are greater than the premiums paid and owed to United, a deficit in the program would be incurred and we would accrue a liability for the excess costs on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. On the other hand, if the Program Costs for the reporting quarter are less than the premiums paid and owed to United, a surplus in the program would be incurred and we would record an asset for the excess premiums in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The terms of the arrangement with

**MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS**

United require us to maintain an accumulated cash surplus in the program of $9 million, which is reported as long-term prepaid insurance. As of December 31, 2025, Program Costs were more than the net premiums paid and owed to United by $18 million, which is included in accrued health insurance costs, a current liability on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, the premiums owed to United at December 31, 2025, were $7 million, which is also included in accrued health insurance costs, a current liability, on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our benefits costs incurred included an increase of $11 million in 2025 and a decrease of $29 million in 2024 for changes in estimated run-off related to prior periods, net of Individual Claims Limit.

We believe that recent claim development patterns are representative of incurred but not reported claims costs during the reporting period. The estimated completion rate used to compute incurred but not reported claims involves a significant level of judgment. Accordingly, an increase (or decrease) in the completion rate used to estimate the incurred claims would result in an increase (or decrease) in benefits costs and net income would decrease (or increase) accordingly.

The following table illustrates the sensitivity of changes in the completion rate on our estimate of total benefits costs of $3.2 billion in 2025:

---

|:---|:---|:---|
| **Change in<br>Completion Rate** | **Change in** <br>**Benefits Costs <br>*(in millions)*** | **Change in** <br>**Net Income <br>*(in millions)*** |
| (2.5)% | $(33) | $25 |
| (1.0)% | (13) | 10 |
| 1.0% | 13 | (10) |
| 2.5% | 33 | (25) |

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Workers' compensation costs — Since 2007, our workers' compensation coverage has been provided through an arrangement with Chubb. The Chubb Program is fully insured in that Chubb has the responsibility to pay all claims incurred under the policy regardless of whether we satisfy our responsibilities. Under the Chubb Program for claims incurred on or before September 30, 2019, we have financial responsibility to Chubb for the first $1 million layer of claims per occurrence and, for claims over $1 million, up to a maximum aggregate amount of $6 million per policy year for claims that exceed $1 million. Effective for claims incurred on or after October 1, 2019, we have financial responsibility to Chubb for the first $1.5 million layer of claims per occurrence and, for claims over $1.5 million, up to a maximum aggregate amount of $6 million per policy year for claims that exceed $1.5 million.

Because we bear the financial responsibility for claims up to the levels noted above, such claims, which are the primary component of our workers' compensation costs, are recorded in the period incurred. Workers' compensation insurance includes ongoing health care and indemnity coverage whereby claims are paid over numerous years following the date of injury. Accordingly, the accrual of related incurred costs in each reporting period includes estimates, which take into account the ongoing development of claims and therefore requires judgment.

We utilize a third-party actuary to estimate our loss development rate, which is primarily based upon the nature of WSEEs' job responsibilities, the location of WSEEs, the historical frequency and severity of workers' compensation claims, and an estimate of future cost trends. Each reporting period, changes in the actuarial assumptions resulting from changes in actual claims experience and other trends are incorporated into our workers' compensation claims cost estimates. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we reduced accrued workers' compensation costs by $29 million and $32 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 was 3.9% in 2025 and 4.3% in 2024) and are accreted over the estimated claim payment period and included as a component of direct costs in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Our claim trends could be greater than or less than our prior estimates, in which case we would revise our claims estimates and record an adjustment to workers' compensation costs in the period such determination is made. If we were to experience any significant changes in actuarial assumptions, our loss development rates could increase (or decrease), which would result in an increase (or decrease) in workers' compensation costs and a resulting decrease (or increase) in net income reported in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

At the beginning of each policy period, the workers' compensation insurance carrier establishes monthly funding requirements comprised of premium costs and funds to be set aside for payment of future claims ("claim funds"). The level of claim funds is primarily based upon anticipated WSEE payroll levels and expected workers' compensation loss rates, as determined by the insurance carrier. Monies funded into the program for incurred claims expected to be paid within one year are recorded as restricted cash, a short-term asset, while the remainder of claim funds are included in deposits, a long-term asset in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. In 2025, we received $29 million for the return of excess claim funds related to the workers' compensation program, which decreased deposits – workers' compensation. As of December 31, 2025, we had restricted cash of $82 million and deposits – workers' compensation of $148 million. We have estimated and accrued $184 million in incurred workers' compensation claim costs as of December 31, 2025. Our estimate of incurred claim costs expected to be paid within one year is recorded as accrued workers' compensation costs and 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 in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

***New Accounting Pronouncements***

We believe that we have implemented the accounting pronouncements with a material impact on our financial statements and do not believe there are any new or pending pronouncements that will materially impact our financial position or results of operations. Please read Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, <u>["Accounting Policies,"](#i3eea848da3dc460fa42505481f4781c6_76)</u> for additional information.

***Key Operating Metrics***

We monitor certain key metrics to measure our performance, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• WSEEs

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Adjusted EBITDA

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Adjusted EPS

Our growth in the number of WSEEs paid is affected by three primary sources: new client sales, client retention and the net change in WSEEs paid at existing clients through new hires and employee terminations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• During 2025, the average number of WSEEs paid from new client sales increased 1% from 2024. Average client retention increased from 81% in 2024 to 83% in 2025. The net change in our client base also increased when compared to 2024.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• During 2024, the average number of WSEEs paid from new client sales increased 2% from 2023. Average client retention declined from 83% in 2023 to 81% in 2024, while the net change in our client base remained positive, although lower than 2023.

***Revenues***

***<u>2025 Compared to 2024</u>***

Our revenues for 2025 were $6.8 billion, an increase of 4%, primarily due to the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Average WSEEs paid increased 1%.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Revenues per WSEE per month increased 3%, or $46.

***<u>2024 Compared to 2023</u>***

Our revenues for 2024 were $6.6 billion, an increase of 1%, primarily due to the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Revenues per WSEE per month increased 3%, or $53, partially offset by a 2% decrease in average WSEEs paid.

***Gross Profit***

In determining the pricing of the markup component of our gross billings, we take into consideration our estimates of the costs directly associated with our WSEEs, including payroll taxes, benefits and workers' compensation costs, plus an acceptable gross profit margin. As a result, our operating results are significantly impacted by our ability to accurately estimate our direct costs relative to the revenues derived from the markup component of our gross billings.

Our gross profit per WSEE is primarily determined by our ability to accurately estimate direct costs and our ability to incorporate changes in these costs into the gross billings charged to PEO HR Solutions clients, which are subject to pricing arrangements that are typically renewed annually. We use gross profit per WSEE per month as our principal measurement of relative performance at the gross profit level.

Our pricing objectives attempt to achieve a level of revenue per WSEE that matches or exceeds changes in primary direct costs and operating expenses. Our revenues per WSEE per month increased $46 due to higher average pricing of 3%.

The net increase in direct costs between 2025 and 2024 attributable to the changes in cost estimates for benefits and workers' compensation totaled $43 million as discussed below. The $89 per WSEE per month increase in direct costs is due primarily to the direct cost component changes as follows:

*Benefits costs*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The cost of group health insurance and related employee benefits increased $61 per WSEE per month, or 9.2% on a cost per covered employee basis.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The percentage of WSEEs covered under our health insurance plans was 63% in 2025 compared to 64% in 2024.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Reported results include changes in estimated claims run-off related to prior periods, which was an increase in costs of $11 million, or $3 per WSEE per month, in 2025 compared to a decrease in costs of $29 million, or $8 per WSEE per month, in 2024.

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• General and administrative expenses for 2025 decreased 9% to $203 million, or $4 per WSEE per month, compared to 2024. The decrease was primarily due to lower professional services fees, resulting from the capitalization in 2025 of a portion of the expenses related to the development of our HRScale solution. Additionally, we incurred lower travel and training costs and amortization of SaaS implementation costs, partially offset by accelerated lease costs associated with the consolidation of sales offices in 2025 and software licensing and maintenance costs.

Operating expenses for 2024 increased 14% to $935 million compared to $818 million in 2023. Operating expenses per WSEE per month for 2024 increased 16% to $253 compared to $219 in 2023.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Salaries of corporate and sales staff for 2024 increased 13% to $521 million, or $18 per WSEE per month, compared to 2023. The increase was primarily due to a 5% increase in BPA, service, technology and support headcount and staff compensation levels in 2024 compared to 2023.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Stock-based compensation expense for 2024 increased 15% to $61 million, or $3 per WSEE per month, compared to 2023. The increase was primarily due to time-based restricted stock unit awards issued under our incentive plan. Please read Note 1 <u>["Accounting Policies"](#i3eea848da3dc460fa42505481f4781c6_76)</u> and Note 9 <u>["Incentive Plans,"](#i3eea848da3dc460fa42505481f4781c6_157)</u> to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• General and administrative expenses for 2024 increased 27% to $224 million, or $12 per WSEE per month, compared to 2023. The increase was primarily due to increased professional services fees, which includes expenses related to the implementation of our Workday strategic partnership, software licensing and maintenance costs, and amortization of SaaS implementation costs.

***Other Income (Expense)***

Other income (expense) was net income of $6 million, $9 million, and $6 million in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

In 2025, the decrease in other income from 2024 was due to lower deposits and interest rates on overnight investments. In 2024 and 2023, the increase in other income was due to an increase in interest rates on our marketable securities investments and workers' compensation deposits, which was partially offset by an increase in interest expense related to higher average interest rates on borrowings under our credit facility. Please read Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, <u>["Other Balance Sheet Information,"](#i3eea848da3dc460fa42505481f4781c6_121)</u> for additional information.

***Income Tax Expense***

Our effective income tax rate was (75)% in 2025, 28% in 2024 and 24% in 2023. Our provision for income taxes differed from the U.S. statutory rate of 21% primarily due to state income taxes, non-deductible expenses, and excess tax expense of $2 million associated with the vesting of equity compensation in 2025, and excess tax benefits associated with the vesting of equity compensation of less than $1 million and $5 million, in 2024 and 2023, respectively. Please read Note 1 "<u>[Accounting Policies](#i3eea848da3dc460fa42505481f4781c6_76)</u>" and Note 7 <u>["Income Taxes,"](#i3eea848da3dc460fa42505481f4781c6_145)</u> to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional

information.

On July 4, 2025, H.R.1, which is known as the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act," was signed into federal law. This law includes significant changes to federal tax law and other regulatory provisions that may impact us. ASC 740, "Income Taxes", requires the effect of changes in tax rates and laws on deferred tax balances to be recognized in the period in which the legislation is enacted. We have evaluated the provisions of H.R.1 and the potential effects on our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. Although there is no impact to our effective tax rate, we are accelerating tax deductions for unamortized software development costs.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

We periodically evaluate our liquidity requirements, capital needs and availability of resources in view of, among other things, our expansion plans, stock repurchases, potential acquisitions, debt service requirements and other operating cash needs. To meet short-term liquidity requirements, which are primarily the payment of direct costs and operating expenses, we rely primarily on cash from operations. Longer-term projects, large stock repurchases or significant acquisitions may be financed with public or private debt or equity. We have a revolving credit facility ("Facility") with a syndicate of financial institutions with a current revolving credit commitment of $750 million. The Facility is available for working capital and general corporate purposes, including acquisitions and stock repurchases. We have in the past sought, and may in the future seek, to raise additional capital or take other steps to increase or manage our liquidity and capital resources.

As of December 31, 2025, we had outstanding letters of credit and borrowings totaling $370 million under the Facility. Please read Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, "<u>[Long-Term Debt](#i3eea848da3dc460fa42505481f4781c6_142)</u>," for additional information.

We had $660 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at December 31, 2025, of which approximately $468 million was payable in early January 2026 for withheld federal and state income taxes, employment taxes and other payroll deductions. Approximately $135 million represented client prepayments that were invoiced in January 2026. At December 31, 2025, we had working capital of $102 million compared to $155 million at December 31, 2024. We currently believe that our cash on hand, marketable securities, cash flows from operations, and availability under the Facility will be adequate to meet our liquidity requirements for 2026. We intend to rely on these same sources, as well as public and private debt or equity financing, to meet our longer-term liquidity and capital needs.

**MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS**

***Cash Flows from Operating Activities***

Net cash used in operating activities in 2025 was $278 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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Timing of client payments / payroll taxes — We typically collect our comprehensive service fee, along with the client's payroll funding, from clients no later than the same day as the payment of WSEE payrolls and associated payroll taxes. Therefore, the last business day of a reporting period has a substantial impact on our reporting of operating cash flows. For example, many WSEEs are paid on Fridays; therefore, operating cash flows decrease in the reporting periods that end on a Friday or a Monday. In the year ended December 31, 2025, the last business day of the reporting period was a Wednesday, client prepayments were $135 million and employment taxes and other deductions were $468 million. In the year ended December 31, 2024, the last business day of the reporting period was a Tuesday, client prepayments were $91 million and employment taxes and other deductions were $830 million, which included $440 million of funds related to client employee retention tax credits received on their behalf from the Internal Revenue Service that were distributed to clients in early 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Workers' compensation plan funding — During 2025 and 2024, we received $29 million and $39 million, respectively, for the return of excess claim funds related to the workers' compensation program, which resulted in an increase in working capital.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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 program have a direct impact on our operating cash flows. In addition, changes to the funding rates, which are solely determined by United based primarily upon recent claim history and anticipated cost trends, also have a significant impact on our operating cash flows. As of December 31, 2025, Program Costs were more than the net premiums paid and owed to United by $18 million, which is included in accrued health insurance costs, a current liability on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2025. In addition, the premiums owed to United at December 31, 2025, were $7 million, which is also included in accrued health insurance costs, a current liability, on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Operating results — Our net income (loss) and adjusted net income has a significant impact on our operating cash flows. Our net income (loss) and adjusted net income decreased 108% and 71% to $(7) million and $39 million in 2025, respectively, compared to $91 million and $135 million in 2024, respectively. Please read "<u>[Results of Operations](#i899d0291b49d47c9b62f75eb832b9b2b_25)</u>."

***Cash Flows from Investing Activities***

Net cash flows used in investing activities were $31 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, primarily due to property and equipment purchases.

***Cash Flows from Financing Activities***

Net cash flows used in financing activities were $90 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. We paid $90 million in dividends and repurchased or withheld $19 million in stock. In addition, client funds liability and other financing activities increased by $19 million.

***Seasonality, Inflation and Quarterly Fluctuations***

Our quarterly earnings are impacted by the seasonal nature of our medical claims costs and payroll taxes. Typically, medical claims costs tend to increase throughout the year with the fourth quarter being the period with the highest costs, which has a negative impact on our fourth quarter earnings. This trend is primarily the result of many WSEEs' medical plan deductibles being fully met by the fourth quarter, which increases our liability with respect to those claims. We have also experienced variability on a quarterly basis in medical claims costs based on the unpredictable nature of large claims. Payroll taxes and associated billings are computed based on an employee's annual taxable wage base. The annual payroll tax wage bases are frequently met in the first two quarters of each year depending on the employee's compensation levels. As a result, the gross profit contribution from payroll taxes is typically higher in the first two quarters and declines in the latter half of each year. These historical trends may change and other seasonal trends may develop in

We believe the effects of inflation have not had a significant impact on our results of operations or financial condition; however, inflationary pressure could adversely impact our profitability in the future.

 **QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES**<br>

**Item 7A. 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 December 31, 2025, we had outstanding letters of credit and borrowings totaling $370 million under the Facility. Please read Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, <u>["Long-Term Debt,"](#i3eea848da3dc460fa42505481f4781c6_142)</u> for additional information. Our cash equivalent short-term investments consist primarily of overnight investments, which are not significantly exposed to interest rate risk, except to the extent that changes in interest rates will ultimately affect the amount of interest income earned on these investments. Our available-for-sale marketable securities are subject to interest rate risk because these securities generally include a fixed interest rate. As a result, the market values of these securities are affected by changes in prevailing interest rates.

We attempt to limit our exposure to interest rate risk primarily through diversification and low investment turnover. Our investment policy is designed to maximize after-tax interest income while preserving our principal investment. As a result, our marketable securities consist of tax-exempt short and intermediate-term debt securities, which are primarily U.S. Treasury bills and our workers' compensation - deposits consist of cash and highly-liquid investments, primarily money market funds.

**CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**<br>

**REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Insperity, Inc.

***Opinion on the Financial Statements***

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Insperity, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), and our report dated February 10, 2026 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

***Basis for Opinion***

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

***Critical Audit Matter***

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the account or disclosure to which it relates.

**CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**<br>

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | *Estimation of the Cost of Incurred but Not Reported Health Insurance Claims* |
| *Description of the Matter* | As discussed in Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements under "Health Insurance Costs," the Company provides the majority of its health insurance coverage to its employees through a fully insured health insurance policy with UnitedHealthcare ("United"). While the policy with United is a fully insured plan, as a result of certain contractual terms, the Company accounts for this plan using a partially self-funded insurance accounting model. Accordingly, the Company records the cost of the United plan, including an estimate of the incurred claims, taxes and administrative fees, as benefits expense, which is a component of Payroll taxes, benefits and workers' compensation costs in the consolidated statement of operations. The estimated incurred but not reported claims under the Company's United insurance policy are based upon: (i) the level of claims processed during each quarter; (ii) estimated completion rates based upon recent claim development patterns under the plan; and (iii) the number of participants in the plan.<br>Auditing management's estimate of the cost of incurred but not reported health insurance claims was subjective and judgmental due to the significant estimation required in determining the medical reserve. Estimating incurred but not reported claims is subjective due to the large number of plan participants and the possibility that the number, nature, magnitude, and the timing of processing of current period claims may not be comparable to historical results experienced by the Company. |
| *How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit* | We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the estimation process, including, among others, controls over the completeness and accuracy of the data used to estimate the cost of incurred health insurance claims and the review and approval processes that management has in place for the assumptions applied and the calculation of the cost of incurred health insurance claims. <br>Our audit procedures included, among others, assessing (i) the Company's health insurance cost estimation methodology, (ii) significant assumptions used to develop the medical completion rates, which includes the incurred but not reported component, (iii) the accuracy and completeness of the claims processed data used in the Company's computation, as well as (iv) the historical accuracy of management's estimates of the cost of incurred health insurance claims. Our testing of the medical completion rate assumptions included comparing the completion rate assumptions used by management to the completion rates experienced in historical periods and assessing whether contrary evidence exists with respect to the completion rate assumptions utilized by the Company to estimate the cost of incurred health insurance claims. Furthermore, we involved our actuarial specialists to assist in our evaluation of the Company's methodology and compared the Company's estimate to a range developed by our actuarial specialists based on the historical claim data and independently selected assumptions. |

**CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**<br>

**MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL**

The Company has assessed the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in *Internal Control — Integrated Framework* issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") (2013 framework). The Company's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting. The effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, has been audited by the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report that is included herein.

Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of the inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.

The Company's assessment of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting included testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of its internal controls. In management's opinion, the Company has maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in the COSO 2013 framework*.*

**CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**<br>

**REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Insperity, Inc.

***Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting***

We have audited Insperity, Inc.'s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, Insperity, Inc. (the Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes and our report dated February 10, 2026 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

***Basis for Opinion***

The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

***Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting***

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

**1.** **Accounting Policies**

***Description of Business***

Insperity, Inc. ("Insperity" or "we", "our", and "us") provides an array of human resources ("HR") and business solutions designed to help improve business performance. Since our formation in 1986, we have evolved from being solely a professional employer organization ("PEO"), an industry we pioneered, to our current position as a comprehensive business performance solutions provider. We were organized as a corporation in 1986 and have provided PEO services since inception.

Our comprehensive HR services offerings are provided through our Insperity<sup>®</sup> **HR**360 solution (formerly Workforce Optimization<sup>®</sup>), our Insperity<sup>®</sup> **HR**360 Select Edition solution (formerly Workforce Synchronization<sup>TM</sup>), and our Insperity<sup>®</sup> **HR**Scale solution (together, our "PEO HR Solutions") which encompass a broad range of HR functions as discussed in <u>[Item 1. Business](#i3eea848da3dc460fa42505481f4781c6_199)</u> — <u>[Service Offerings](#i80d3e1a322e5432bbd8216f8247b7f7d_81870)</u> — <u>[PEO HR Solutions](#i80d3e1a322e5432bbd8216f8247b7f7d_82770)</u>.

***HR****360.* Insperity's **HR**360 solution, our largest source of revenue, is offered to small and medium-sized businesses seeking a comprehensive people strategy. From payroll and employment administration, employee benefits, workers' compensation, government compliance, performance management to training and development, our **HR**360 solution offers a full range of services empowering clients to achieve a sophisticated HR function. **HR**360 provides access to our web-based human capital management platform, Insperity Premier<sup>TM</sup>.

***HR****360 Select Edition.* Insperity's **HR**360 Select Edition solution, which generally is offered only to our middle market client segment, is a lower cost offering with a typically longer commitment that includes the same compliance and administrative services as **HR**360 and allows those clients to select, for an additional fee, from the strategic HR products and services that are included with **HR**360. **HR**360 Select Edition provides access to our web-based human capital management platform, Insperity Premier.

***HR****Scale.* Insperity's **HR**Scale solution is our newest service offering that we jointly developed through our strategic partnership with Workday, Inc. ("Workday"). Insperity's **HR**Scale solution is intended for growing and middle market companies and provides access to the advanced capabilities of Workday Human Capital Management ("HCM"). Our **HR**Scale solution, which is priced higher than our **HR**360 offering, is designed to combine the HR expertise of our **HR**360 solution with the advanced capabilities of Workday HCM, with a focus on affordability, ease and speed of deployment, and agility as companies scale. Insperity's **HR**Scale solution is under development and we expect an initial group of clients to begin using our **HR**Scale solution in the first quarter of 2026.

***HR****Core.* We also offer a comprehensive traditional payroll and human capital management solution, known as Insperity **HR**Core<sup>TM</sup> (formerly Workforce Acceleration<sup>TM</sup>), which we refer to as our "Traditional HR Solution" as discussed in <u>[Item 1. Business](#i3eea848da3dc460fa42505481f4781c6_199)</u> — <u>[Other Product and Services Offerings](#i80d3e1a322e5432bbd8216f8247b7f7d_82745)</u> — <u>[Comprehensive Traditional Payroll and Human Capital Management Solution](#i80d3e1a322e5432bbd8216f8247b7f7d_82634)</u>".

We also offer a number of other business performance solutions, including Talent Acquisition Services, Retirement Services, Insurance Services, Contractor Management, and Perks+. These other products and services generally are offered only with our other solutions as discussed in <u>[Item 1. Business](#i3eea848da3dc460fa42505481f4781c6_199)</u> — <u>[Other Product and Services Offerings](#i80d3e1a322e5432bbd8216f8247b7f7d_82745)</u>.

We provide our PEO HR Solutions by entering into a co-employment relationship with our clients, under which Insperity and its clients each take responsibility for certain portions of the employer-employee relationship. Insperity and its clients designate each party's responsibilities through its Client Service Agreement ("CSA"), under which Insperity becomes an employer of the employees who work at the client's location ("WSEE") for most administrative and regulatory purposes.

As a co-employer of our WSEEs, we assume many of the rights and obligations associated with being an employer. We enter into an employment agreement with each WSEE, thereby maintaining a variety of employer rights, including the right to hire or terminate employees, the right to evaluate employee qualifications or performance, and the right to establish employee compensation levels. Typically, Insperity only exercises these rights in consultation with its clients or when necessary to ensure regulatory compliance. The responsibilities associated with our role as employer include the following obligations with regard to our WSEEs: (1) to compensate our WSEEs through wages and salaries; (2) to pay the employer

portion of payroll-related taxes; (3) to withhold and remit (where applicable) the employee portion of payroll-related taxes; (4) to provide employee benefit programs; and (5) to provide workers' compensation insurance coverage.

In addition to our assumption of employer status for our WSEEs, our PEO HR Solutions also includes other human resources functions for our clients to support the effective and efficient use of personnel in their business operations. To provide these functions, we maintain a significant staff of professionals trained in a wide variety of HR functions, including employee training, employee recruiting, employee performance management, employee compensation and employer liability management. These professionals interact and consult with clients on a daily basis to help identify each client's service requirements and to ensure that we are providing appropriate and timely human capital management services.

***Revenue and Direct Cost Recognition***

We enter into contracts with our PEO HR Solutions customers for human resources services based on a stated rate and price in the contract. Our contracts generally establish pricing for a period of 12 months and are generally cancellable at any time by either party with 30-days' notice. Our performance obligations are satisfied as services are rendered each month. The term between invoicing and when our performance obligations are satisfied is not significant. Our payment terms typically require payment concurrently with the invoicing of our PEO services. We do not have significant financing components or significant payment terms.

Our revenue is generally recognized ratably over the payroll period as WSEEs perform their service at the client worksite in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, *Revenue from Contracts with Customers*. Customers are invoiced concurrently with each periodic payroll of its WSEEs. Revenues that have been recognized but not invoiced represent unbilled accounts receivable of $810 million at both December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and are included in accounts receivable, net on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Pursuant to the "practical expedients" provided under ASC 340-40, *Other Assets and Deferred Costs - Contracts with Customers*, we expense sales commissions when incurred because the terms of our contracts are cancellable by either party with a 30-day notice. These costs are recorded in commissions in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

Our revenue for our PEO HR Solutions by geographic region and for our other products and services offerings are as follows:

---

|:---|:---|:---|:---|

| West | 1388 | 1344 | 1337 |
|  | 6742 | 6511 | 6421 |
| Other revenue | 70 | 70 | 65 |
| **Total revenue** | $**6812** | $**6581** | $**6486** |

---

Our PEO HR Solutions revenues are primarily derived from our gross billings, which are based on (1) the payroll cost of our WSEEs; and (2) a markup computed as a percentage of the payroll cost. The gross billings are invoiced concurrently with each periodic payroll of our WSEEs. Revenues, which exclude the payroll cost component of gross billings and therefore consist solely of the markup, are recognized ratably over the payroll period as WSEEs perform their service at the client worksite.

In determining the pricing of the markup component of our gross billings, we take into consideration our estimates of the costs directly associated with our WSEEs, including payroll taxes, benefits and workers' compensation costs, plus an acceptable gross profit margin. As a result, our operating results are significantly impacted by our ability to accurately estimate our direct costs relative to the revenues derived from the markup component of our gross billings.

Revenues are comprised of gross billings less WSEE payroll costs as follows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Year Ended December 31,** | **Year Ended December 31,** | **Year Ended December 31,** |
|<br>*(in millions)* | **2025** | **2024** | **2023** |
| Gross billings | $45565 | $43752 | $43141 |
| Less: WSEE payroll cost | 38753 | 37171 | 36655 |
| **Revenues** | $**6812** | $**6581** | $**6486** |

---

Consistent with our revenue recognition policy, our direct costs do not include the payroll cost of our WSEEs. Our direct costs associated with our revenue generating activities are primarily comprised of all other costs related to our WSEEs, such as the employer portion of payroll-related taxes, employee benefit plan premiums and workers' compensation insurance costs.

***Segment Reporting***

ASC 280, *Segment Reporting* establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments on a basis consistent with our internal organizational structure as well as information about geographical areas and business segments. We use the management approach to determine reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by our chief operating decision maker ("CODM") for making decisions, allocating resources and assessing performance.

Our CODM has been identified as our chief executive officer, who reviews results when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance, in addition to considering our geographical footprint, which is based in the United States, and the management of our business activities, which is done on a consolidated basis. Based on management's assessment, we determined that we have only one operating segment and therefore one reportable segment, HR Solutions, as defined by ASC 280.

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

The HR Solutions segment derives revenue from customers by providing various human resource services through professional service contracts. The accounting policies of the HR Solutions segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The measure of segment assets is reported on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as total assets, and the CODM assesses performance and decides how to allocate resources based on net income as reported on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The CODM reviews revenues and expenses at the consolidated level as disclosed in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and uses net income to evaluate income generated from segment assets (return on assets) in deciding whether to reinvest profits into our HR Solutions segment or into other areas of the entity, such as for acquisitions or to pay dividends. Net income is also used to monitor budget versus actual results and in competitive analysis by benchmarking to our competitors. The competitive analysis and the monitoring of budgeted versus actual results are used in assessing the segment's performance and in establishing management's compensation.

Since we have only one operating segment, we do not have intra-entity sales or transfers.

***Principles of Consolidation***

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Insperity, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

***Use of Estimates***

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("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.

***Concentrations of Credit Risk***

Financial instruments that could potentially subject us to concentration of credit risk include accounts receivable and marketable securities.

***Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities***

We invest our excess cash in federal government and municipal-based money market funds. All highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents. Liquid investments with original maturities of greater than three months from the date of purchase are classified as marketable securities in current assets.

We account for marketable securities in accordance with ASC 320, *Investments — Debt and Equity Securities*. We determine the appropriate classification of all marketable securities as held-to-maturity, available-for-sale or trading at the time of purchase, and re-evaluate such classification as of each balance sheet date. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, all of our investments in marketable securities were classified as available-for-sale, and as a result, were reported at fair value. The amortized cost of debt securities is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts from the date of purchase to maturity. Such amortization is included in interest income as an addition to or deduction from the coupon interest earned on the investments. We use the specific identification method of determining the cost basis in computing realized gains and losses on the sale of our available-for-sale securities. Realized gains and losses are included in other income.

***Property and Equipment***

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method.

Property and equipment, net consisted of the following:

| **Property and equipment, gross** | **604** | **581** |
| Accumulated depreciation and amortization | (427) | (389) |
| **Property and equipment, net** | $**177** | $**192** |

---

The estimated useful lives of property and equipment for purposes of computing depreciation are as follows:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Useful Life** | **Useful Life** | **Useful Life** | **Useful Life** |
| Buildings and improvements | 5 |  | 30 | years |
| Computer hardware and software | 2 |  | 5 | years |
| Software development costs | 3 |  | 5 | years |
| Furniture, fixtures and other | 5 |  | 7 | years |

---

Software development costs relate primarily to software code development, systems integration and testing of our proprietary professional employer information systems and are accounted for in accordance with ASC 350-40, *Internal Use Software*. Capitalized software development costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the software, generally three years. We recognized $14 million, $13 million and $14 million in amortization of capitalized software development costs in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Unamortized software development costs were $34 million and $32 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

We periodically evaluate our long-lived assets for impairment in accordance with ASC 360-10, *Property, Plant, and Equipment.* ASC 360-10 requires that an impairment loss be recognized for assets to be disposed of or held-for-use when the carrying amount of an asset is deemed to not be recoverable. If events or circumstances were to indicate that any of our long-lived assets might be impaired, we would assess recoverability based on the estimated undiscounted future cash flows to be generated from the applicable asset or asset group. In addition, we may record an impairment loss to the extent that the carrying value of the asset exceeded the fair value of the asset. Fair value is generally determined using an estimate of discounted future net cash flows from operating activities or upon disposal of the asset.

***Cloud Computing Arrangements***

We incur costs to implement cloud computing arrangements that are hosted by third-party vendors. SaaS implementation costs associated with cloud computing arrangements are capitalized when incurred during the application development phase. The capitalized costs are recorded in our short-term and long-term other assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amortization is calculated on a straight-line basis over the contractual term of the cloud computing arrangement, typically a one to five year period. We recognized $5 million, $11 million, and $6 million in amortization of SaaS implementation costs in 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. These costs are recorded in general and administrative expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Unamortized SaaS implementation costs were $31 million and $16 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

***Leases***

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception of a contract in accordance with ASC 842, *Leases,* as well as the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Updates clarifying the lease guidance. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit interest rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The lease terms used to calculate the ROU asset and related lease liability include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option.

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term as an operating expense. We have lease agreements which require payments for lease and non-lease components and have elected to account for these as a single lease component related to our other operating facilities. Lease expense for 2025 includes $3 million of accelerated lease costs related to office closures during the year. Please read Note 11, <u>["Leases,"](#i3eea848da3dc460fa42505481f4781c6_178)</u> for additional information.

Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; instead, lease payments are recognized as lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

***Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets***

Our goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment on an annual basis or when there is an indication that there has been a potential decline in the fair value of a reporting unit. Annually, we perform a qualitative analysis to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value has declined below its carrying value. This analysis considers various qualitative factors. Due to the nature of our business, all of our goodwill is associated with one reporting unit. We perform our annual impairment testing during the fourth quarter. Based on the results of our analysis, no impairment loss was recognized in 2025, 2024 or 2023.

***Health Insurance Costs***

We provide group health insurance coverage under a single-employer plan that covers both our WSEEs in our PEO HR Solutions and our corporate employees and utilizes a national network of carriers, including UnitedHealthcare ("United"), UnitedHealthcare of California, Kaiser Permanente, Blue Shield of California, HMSA BlueCross BlueShield of Hawaii, and Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, formerly known as Tufts, all of which provide fully insured policies or service contracts.

Approximately 85% of our costs related to health insurance coverage are incurred under our policy with United. While the policy with United is a fully insured plan, as a result of certain contractual terms, we have accounted for this plan since its inception using a partially self-funded insurance accounting model. Effective January 1, 2020 up through December 31, 2025, our financial responsibility for a participant's annual claim costs was limited to $1 million ("Individual Claims Limit"). Beginning January 1, 2026, we have the option to annually elect to limit our responsibility for each participant's claim costs to $500,000, $750,000, or $1,000,000 per year, which we elect based on the cost of the limit and our estimate of the benefit of that level of limit. For 2026, we have elected to limit our financial responsibility with United to the first $500,000 of paid claims per claimant per year. Accordingly, we record the cost of the United plan, including an estimate of the incurred claims, taxes and administrative fees (collectively the "Program Costs"), as benefits expense, which is a component of direct costs, in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. The estimated incurred but not reported claims are based upon: (1) the level of claims processed during each quarter; (2) estimated completion rates based upon recent claim development patterns under the plan; and (3) the number of participants in the program, including both active and COBRA enrollees. Each reporting period, changes in the estimated ultimate costs resulting from claim trends, plan design and migration, participant demographics, and other factors are incorporated into the benefits costs, which requires a significant level of judgment.

Additionally, since the plan's inception, under the terms of the contract, United establishes cash funding rates 90 days in advance of the beginning of a reporting quarter. If the Program 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 Program 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 million, which is reported as long-term prepaid health insurance. In addition, United requires a deposit equal to approximately one day of claims funding activity, which was $7 million at December 31, 2025, and is included in deposits - health insurance as a long-term asset on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2025, Program Costs were more than the net premiums paid and owed to United by $18 million, which is included in accrued health insurance costs, a current liability on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2025. In addition, the premiums owed to United at December 31, 2025, were $7 million, which is also included in accrued health insurance costs, a current liability, on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our benefits costs incurred in 2025 included an increase of $11 million for changes in estimated run-off related to prior periods, net of Individual Claims Limit. Our benefits costs incurred in 2024 included a decrease of $29 million for changes in estimated run-off related to prior periods, net of Individual Claims Limit.

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

***Workers' Compensation Costs***

Our workers' compensation coverage for our WSEEs in our PEO HR Solutions has been provided through arrangements with the Chubb Group of Insurance Companies or its predecessors (the "Chubb Program") since 2007. The Chubb Program is fully insured in that Chubb has the responsibility to pay all claims incurred under the policy regardless of whether we satisfy our responsibilities. Under the Chubb Program, for claims incurred on or before September 30, 2019, we have financial responsibility to Chubb for the first $1 million layer of claims per occurrence and, for claims over $1 million, up to a maximum aggregate amount of $6 million per policy year for claims that exceed $1 million. Chubb bears the financial responsibility for all claims in excess of these levels. Effective for claims incurred on or after October 1, 2019, we have financial responsibility to Chubb for the first $1.5 million layer of claims per occurrence and, for claims over $1.5 million, up to a maximum aggregate amount of $6 million per policy year for claims that exceed $1.5 million.

Because we bear the financial responsibility for claims up to the levels noted above, such claims, which are the primary component of our workers' compensation costs, are recorded in the period incurred. Workers' compensation insurance includes ongoing health care and indemnity coverage whereby claims are paid over numerous years following the date of injury. Accordingly, the accrual of related incurred costs in each reporting period includes estimates, which take into account the ongoing development of claims and therefore requires a significant level of judgment.

We utilize a third-party actuary to estimate our loss development rate, which is primarily based upon the nature of WSEEs' job responsibilities, the location of WSEEs, the historical frequency and severity of workers' compensation claims, and an estimate of future cost trends. Each reporting period, changes in the actuarial assumptions resulting from changes in actual claims experience and other trends are incorporated into our workers' compensation claims cost estimates. During the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we reduced accrued workers' compensation costs by $29 million and $32 million, respectively, for changes in estimated losses related to prior periods. Workers' compensation cost estimates are discounted to present value at a rate based upon the U.S. Treasury rates that correspond with the weighted average estimated claim payout period (the average discount rate utilized was 3.9% in the 2025 period and 4.3% in 2024) and are accreted over the estimated claim payment period and included as a component of direct costs in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The following table provides the activity and balances related to incurred but not paid workers' compensation claims:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Year Ended December 31,** | **Year Ended December 31,** |
|<br>*(in millions)* | **2025** | **2024** |
| Beginning balance, January 1, | $204 | $220 |
| Accrued claims, net | 74 | 65 |
| Present value discount, net of accretion | (12) | (12) |
| Paid claims | (82) | (69) |
| **Ending balance** | $**184** | $**204** |
| Current portion of accrued claims | $82 | $69 |
| Long-term portion of accrued claims | 102 | 135 |
| **Total accrued claims** | $**184** | $**204** |

---

The current portion of accrued workers' compensation costs on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at both December 31, 2025 and 2024 includes $2 million, of workers' compensation administrative fees.

The undiscounted accrued workers' compensation costs were $227 million as of December 31, 2025 and $240 million as of December 31, 2024.

At the beginning of each policy period, the workers' compensation insurance carrier establishes monthly funding requirements comprised of premium costs and funds to be set aside for payment of future claims ("claim funds"). The level of claim funds is primarily based upon anticipated WSEE payroll levels and expected workers' compensation loss rates, as determined by the insurance carrier. Monies funded into the program for incurred claims expected to be paid within one year are primarily held as cash and money market funds (cash equivalents) and 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

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

Consolidated Balance Sheets. At December 31, 2025, we had restricted cash of $82 million and deposits – workers' compensation of $148 million, of which $230 million was held in trust bank accounts.

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.

During 2025, we received $29 million for the return of excess claim funds related to the workers' compensation program, which resulted in a decrease to deposits - workers' compensation.

***Stock-Based Compensation***

At December 31, 2025, we have one stock-based employee compensation plan under which we may issue awards. We account for this plan under the recognition and measurement principles of ASC 718, *Compensation — Stock Compensation*, which requires all share-based payments to employees to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values.

We generally make annual grants of unrestricted stock under our stock-based incentive compensation plan to our non-employee directors, and grants of restricted stock units to our officers and certain other employees. Restricted stock unit grants to officers and other employees generally vest over a period of three years from the date of grant. Restricted stock units are valued based on the fair value on date of grant and the associated expense, net of estimated forfeitures, is recognized over the requisite service period. Stock grants issued to non-employee directors are 100% vested on the grant date. All shares are issued out of treasury.

Our Insperity Long-Term Incentive Program (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. Each performance unit represents the right to receive one common share at a future date based on our performance against certain targets. Performance units have a vesting schedule of three years. A portion of the LTIP grant to employees was considered a market-based performance award that cliff vests at the end of three years assuming continued employment and achievement of market-based performance goals. The fair value of each performance unit is the market price of our common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of each market-based performance unit was determined through use of the Monte Carlo simulation method. The compensation expense for such awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting term. Over the performance period the number of shares expected to be issued is adjusted upward or downward based on the probability of achievement of the performance target.

***Company-Sponsored 401(k) Retirement Plans***

Under our 401(k) retirement plan for corporate employees (the "Corporate Plan"), we matched 100% of eligible corporate employees' contributions, up to 6% of the employees' eligible compensation in 2025, 2024, and 2023. Matching contributions under the Corporate Plan are immediately vested. During 2025, 2024 and 2023, we made matching contributions on behalf of corporate employees to the Corporate Plan of $19 million, $19 million, and $17 million, respectively, and are included in salaries, wages and payroll taxes in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Under our separate 401(k) retirement plan for WSEEs (the "Worksite Employee Plan"), the match percentage for WSEEs ranges from 0% to 6%, as determined by each client company. Matching contributions under the Worksite Employee Plan are immediately vested. During 2025, 2024 and 2023, we made matching contributions on behalf of WSEEs to the Worksite Employee Plan of $418 million, $390 million, and $375 million, respectively.

***Advertising***

We expense all advertising costs as incurred.

***Income Taxes***

We use the liability method in accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and income tax carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Please read Note 7, <u>["Income Taxes,"](#i3eea848da3dc460fa42505481f4781c6_145)</u> for additional information.

***Recent Accounting Pronouncements***

In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2023-09, *Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.* ASU 2023-09 expands the disclosure requirements for income taxes, specifically related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We adopted this standard for the year ended December 31, 2025, on a retrospective basis, and the impact of the adoption was not material to our Consolidated Financial Statements. Please read Note 7, <u>["Income](#i3eea848da3dc460fa42505481f4781c6_145)[T](#i3eea848da3dc460fa42505481f4781c6_145)[axes,"](#i3eea848da3dc460fa42505481f4781c6_145)</u> for additional information.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, *Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.* ASU 2024-03 requires public companies to disaggregate key expense categories such as employee compensation and depreciation in their financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the guidance, but do not expect this ASU to materially impact our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, *Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting For Internal-Use Software.* ASU 2025-06 removes all references to software development stages and requires capitalization of software costs when management has committed to the software project and it is probable the software will be completed and perform its intended use. ASU 2025-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and for interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the guidance, but do not expect this ASU to materially impact our Consolidated Financial Statements.

***Payroll Taxes and Other Payroll Deductions Payable***

As a co-employer, we generally assume responsibility for the withholding and remittance of federal and state payroll taxes and other payroll deductions with respect to wages and salaries paid to our WSEEs. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, payroll taxes and other payroll deductions payable were $544 million and $901 million, respectively. The balance at December 31, 2024 includes $440 million of funds we received in late December 2024 from the Internal Revenue Service related to employee retention tax credits claimed by our PEO clients under the COVID relief programs, that were distributed to clients in early 2025.

**3.** **Fair Value Measurements**

We account for our financial assets in accordance with ASC 820, *Fair Value Measurement*. This standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The fair value measurement disclosures are grouped into three levels based on valuation factors:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets using identical assets

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

Our accounts receivable is primarily composed of trade receivables and unbilled receivables. Our trade receivables, which represent outstanding gross billings to clients, are reported net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $1 million as of both December 31, 2025 and 2024. We establish an allowance for doubtful accounts based on management's assessment of the collectability of specific accounts and by making a general provision for other potentially uncollectible amounts.

We make an accrual at the end of each accounting period for our obligations associated with the earned but unpaid wages of our WSEEs and for the accrued gross billings associated with such wages. These accruals are included in accrued worksite employee payroll cost and unbilled accounts receivable; however, these amounts are presented net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. We generally require clients to pay invoices for service fees no later than the same day as the applicable payroll date. As such, we generally do not require collateral. Client prepayments directly attributable to accrued worksite employee payroll costs and unbilled revenues have been netted as we have the legal right of offset for these amounts. Unbilled accounts receivable consisted of the following:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **December 31,** | **December 31,** |
|<br>*(in millions)* | **2025** | **2024** |
| Accrued worksite employee payroll cost | $764 | $730 |
| Unbilled revenues | 181 | 171 |
| Client prepayments | (135) | (91) |
| **Unbilled accounts receivable** | $**810** | $**810** |

**5.** **Deposits and Prepaid Health Insurance**

Deposits and prepaid health insurance consisted of the following:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **December 31,** | **December 31,** |
|<br>*(in millions)* | **2025** | **2024** |

| Deposits — health insurance | 8 | 8 |
| Deposits — workers' compensation | 148 | 178 |
| **Deposits and prepaid health insurance** | $**165** | $**195** |

---

The contractual arrangement with United for health insurance coverage requires us to maintain an accumulated cash surplus in the plan of $9 million, which is reported as deposits and prepaid health insurance in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Please read Note 1, <u>["Accounting Policies,"](#i3eea848da3dc460fa42505481f4781c6_76)</u> for a discussion of our accounting policies for <u>[health insurance costs](#i3eea848da3dc460fa42505481f4781c6_85)</u> and <u>[workers' compensation costs](#i3eea848da3dc460fa42505481f4781c6_88)</u>.

**6.** **Long-Term Debt**

We have a revolving credit facility (the "Facility") with a revolving credit commitment of $750 million. The Facility may be further increased to $800 million based on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the agreement relating to the Facility (as amended, the "Credit Agreement"). The Facility is available for working capital and general corporate purposes, including acquisitions, stock repurchases and issuances of letters of credit. Our obligations under the Facility are secured by 100% of the stock of our captive insurance subsidiary and are guaranteed by all of our subsidiaries other than our captive insurance subsidiary and certain other excluded subsidiaries. At December 31, 2025, our outstanding balance on the Facility was $369 million, and we had an outstanding $1 million letter of credit issued under the Facility, resulting in unused commitment of $380 million.

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

The Facility contains both affirmative and negative covenants that we believe are customary for arrangements of this nature. Covenants include, but are not limited to, limitations on our ability to incur additional indebtedness, sell material assets, retire, redeem or otherwise reacquire our capital stock, acquire the capital stock or assets of another business, make investments and pay dividends. In addition, the Credit Agreement requires us to comply with financial covenants limiting our total funded debt, minimum interest coverage ratio, and maximum leverage ratio. During 2025, we amended the Facility to exclude dividends from the interest coverage ratio financial covenant and increase the maximum leverage ratio. We were in compliance with all financial covenants under the Credit Agreement at December 31, 2025.

The Facility matures on December 15, 2028. Borrowings under the Facility bear interest at an annual rate equal to an alternate base rate or Term SOFR for term SOFR loans, in either case plus an applicable margin. Term SOFR is a forward-looking term rate based on the secured overnight financing rate. Depending on our leverage ratio, the applicable margin varies (1) in the case of SOFR loans, from 1.50% to 2.50% and (2) in the case of alternate base rate loans, from 0.50% to 1.50%. The alternate base rate is the highest of (1) the prime rate most recently published in The Wall Street Journal, (2) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%; and (3) the Term SOFR rate plus 2.00%. We also pay an unused commitment fee on the average daily unused portion of the Facility at a rate of 0.25% per year. The average interest rate for 2025 was 6.1%. Interest expense and unused commitment fees are recorded in other income (expense).

**7.** **Income Taxes**

<sup>(1)</sup> State and local income taxes in the following states make up the majority (greater than 50%) of the tax effected category:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In 2025, California. In 2024, California, New York, New York City, and Illinois. In 2023, California, New York, and New York City.

At December 31, 2025, we had net operating loss carryforwards totaling $1 million that expire from 2029 to 2030 related to an acquisition that occurred in 2010.

We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, we had no uncertain tax positions, and as a result, have made no provisions for interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The tax years 2022 through 2024 remain open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service of the United States. The tax years 2021 through 2024 remain open to examination by various state tax authorities.

**8.** **Stockholders' Equity**

During 2025, we repurchased or withheld an aggregate of 231,668 shares of our common stock, as described below.

***Repurchase Program***

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

Our Board of Directors (the "Board") has authorized a program to repurchase shares of our outstanding common stock ("Repurchase Program"). The purchases may 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. During 2025, 45,000 shares were repurchased under the Repurchase Program. As of December 31, 2025, we were authorized to repurchase an additional 1,407,764 shares under the Repurchase Program.

***Withheld Shares***

During 2025, we withheld 186,668 shares to satisfy tax withholding obligations for the vesting of long-term incentive and restricted stock unit awards.

***Dividends***

The Board declared and paid quarterly dividends as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| *(amounts per share)* | **2025** | **2024** |
| First quarter | $0.60 | $0.57 |
| Second quarter | 0.60 | 0.60 |
| Third quarter | 0.60 | 0.60 |
| Fourth quarter | 0.60 | 0.60 |

---

During 2025 and 2024, we declared and paid dividends totaling $90 million and $89 million, respectively.

***Preferred Stock***

At December 31, 2025, 20 million shares of preferred stock were authorized.

**9.** **Incentive Plans**

The Insperity, Inc. Incentive Plan, as amended, (the "Incentive Plan") provides for options and other stock-based awards that have been and may be granted to eligible employees and non-employee directors of Insperity or its subsidiaries. The Incentive Plan permits stock options, including nonqualified stock options and options intended to qualify as "incentive stock options" within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, stock awards, restricted stock units, phantom stock awards, stock appreciation rights, performance units, and other stock-based awards and cash awards, all of which may or may not be subject to the achievement of one or more performance objectives. The purpose of the Incentive Plan generally is to retain and attract persons of training, experience and ability to serve as employees of Insperity and its subsidiaries and to serve as non-employee directors of Insperity, to encourage the sense of proprietorship of such persons and to stimulate the active interest of such persons in the development and financial success of Insperity and its subsidiaries.

The Incentive Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the "Committee"). The Committee has the power to determine which eligible employees will receive awards, the timing and manner of the grant of such awards, the exercise price of stock options (which may not be less than market value on the date of grant), the number of shares, whether the awards participate in dividends or dividend equivalents, and all of the terms of the awards. The Board may at any time amend or terminate the Incentive Plan. However, no amendment that would impair the rights of any participant, with respect to outstanding grants, can be made without the participant's prior consent. Stockholder approval of amendments to the Incentive Plan is necessary only when required by applicable law or stock exchange rules. Assuming all outstanding LTIP awards are paid at 150% achievement of pre-established performance goals and all outstanding performance-based stock unit awards tied solely to the Company's stock price are paid at 50% achievement of pre-established performance goals, at December 31, 2025, 1.3 million shares of common stock were available for future grants under the Incentive Plan.

We also maintain the LTIP under the Incentive 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. We granted performance units under the LTIP to our named executive officers and certain other officers in 2025, 2024 and 2023.

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

Employees who attain a minimum age of 62 and have provided 15 years or more of continuous service may continue to vest in certain awards following a qualifying retirement as defined under the Incentive Plan award agreement, as though they were still an employee, provided the grant date of the award is six months or more before the employee's last day of employment, the employee provides the Company with six months advance notice of retirement, the employee continues to work full-time during such six (6) month period, and the employee signs a waiver and release of claims. In addition, in order to avoid forfeiting any outstanding award, a retired employee must refrain from providing any services, including but not limited to, as an employee, director, advisor, or independent contractor to a business engaged in providing any services offered by the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates at the time of the employee's retirement, including but not limited to PEO services, payroll services, retirement services or insurances services. For a termination following a qualifying retirement, time-based awards will continue to vest in the normal course. For a termination following a qualifying retirement, certain performance-based awards with completed or in-process performance periods are adjusted for achievement of the performance criteria, prorated through the date of termination and paid in the normal course, while performance-based awards for performance periods that have not started are forfeited. Stock-based compensation expense related to time-based and performance-based awards is accelerated over the requisite service period for employees who meet the requirements for continued vesting.

Stock-based compensation expense and other disclosures for stock-based awards follows:

| Income tax benefit realized from stock-based compensation expense | 15 | 17 | 12 |

***Time-Based Restricted Stock Units***

Time-based restricted stock units ("RSUs"), under equity plan accounting, are generally measured at fair value on the date of grant based on the number of shares granted, estimated forfeitures and the quoted price of the common stock. Such value is recognized as compensation expense over the corresponding vesting period, generally three years to five years for awards currently outstanding. However, for some RSUs currently outstanding, compensation expense is accelerated over the shortened requisite service period for employees who meet the requirements for continued vesting.

The following is a summary of time-based RSU award activity for 2025:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Total Awards**<br>*(in thousands)* | **Weighted Average<br>Grant Date Fair<br>Value** |

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

***Long-Term Incentive Program Awards***

Each performance unit represents the right to receive common shares at a future date based on our performance against specified 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, which can range from 0% to 200% of the targeted amounts. A performance unit may be comprised of either a performance-based award or a market-based award. For performance-based awards, performance units have a vesting schedule of three years and compensation expense is recognized based on the number of common shares expected to be issued and the market price per common share on the date of grant. 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. For market-based awards, performance units vest at the end of a three-year period assuming continued employment and achievement of market-based performance goals. The fair value of market-based performance awards was determined through the use of the Monte Carlo simulation method. The compensation expense for the LTIP awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting terms.

The following is a summary of LTIP award activity, at 100% of targeted amount, for 2025:

|:---|:---|:---|

____________________________________

<sup>(1)</sup> The determination of achievement results and corresponding vesting of the 2022 LTIP awards occurred in February 2025 resulting in recipients receiving approximately 43,000 shares of common stock with a fair value of $4 million.

<sup>(2)</sup> Includes forfeitures and performance adjustments for outstanding tranches of LTIP awards that were certified in 2025 at less than 100% achievement.

As of December 31, 2025, we estimate that approximately 8,000, 69,000 and 78,000 shares will vest with less than $1 million, $2 million and $5 million in unamortized compensation expense related to the 2023, 2024 and 2025 LTIP grants, respectively, expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 19 months.

***Performance-Based Stock Units***

Each performance-based stock unit ("PSU") represents the right to receive common shares at a future date based on our performance against specified 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, which can range from 0% to 100% of the targeted amounts. These PSUs are market-based awards that vest at the end of a five-year period assuming continued employment and achievement of market-based performance goals. The fair value of market-based performance awards was determined through the use of the Monte Carlo simulation method. The compensation expense for the PSU awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting terms.

---

As of December 31, 2025, we estimate that approximately 250,000 shares will vest with $8 million in unamortized compensation expense related to the PSU grants expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 55 months.

***Employee Stock Purchase Plan***

Our employee stock purchase plan (the "ESPP") enables employees to purchase shares of Insperity stock at a 5% discount from the stock price at the end of the offering period. The ESPP is a non-compensatory plan under GAAP for stock-based compensation. As a result, no compensation expense is recognized in conjunction with this plan. Approximately 67,000, 46,000 and 39,000 shares were issued from treasury under the ESPP during fiscal years 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

**10.** **Earnings Per Share**

Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, plus the dilutive effect of time-based and performance-based RSUs.

The following table summarizes the net income (loss) and the basic and diluted shares used in the earnings per share computations:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Year Ended December 31,** | **Year Ended December 31,** | **Year Ended December 31,** |
|<br>*(in millions)* | **2025** | **2024** | **2023** |
| Net income (loss) | $(7) | $91 | $171 |
| Weighted average common shares outstanding | 38 | 38 | 38 |
| **Adjusted weighted average common shares outstanding** | **38** | **38** | **38** |

---

For our time-based and performance-based RSU awards, we excluded an insignificant number of shares from the calculation of diluted earnings per share due to such shares being anti-dilutive during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.

**11.** **Leases**

We have operating leases for office space, other operating facilities, vehicles and office equipment. Our fixed operating lease costs for 2025, 2024 and 2023 were $24 million, $20 million, and $19 million, respectively, and are included in general and administrative expenses on our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Lease costs for 2025 includes $3 million of accelerated lease costs related to the consolidation of sales offices during the year. During 2025, cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of operating lease liabilities was $24 million.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Director whose initial service on the Board begins as a result of being elected or appointed to the Board at the annual meeting shall receive the Annual Director Award, but not an Initial Annual Director Award."
