TriNet Announces Second Quarter Fiscal 2015 ResultsSAN LEANDRO, Calif., Aug. 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- TriNet Group, Inc. (NYSE: TNET), a leading provider of a comprehensive human resources solution for small to medium-sized businesses, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2015. Selected second quarter results include:
"We delivered double digit growth in our WSE base and professional service revenues during the second quarter, as our bundled HR product offering continues to resonate with a wide range of companies across our target verticals," said Burton M. Goldfield, TriNet's President and CEO. "We also continued to grow our salesforce, ending the quarter with 486 quota carrying sales representatives, putting us ahead of our June 30th goal of 470, well on track to reach our annual goal. These highly skilled professionals are focused on introducing our differentiated product solutions to potential clients in our target verticals, further penetrating fast growing sectors across the nation." Mr. Goldfield added, "While our growth momentum remains robust, our results were impacted this quarter by a higher than expected number of large medical claims. We were disappointed that these claims were well in excess of our expected claims volatility. We continue to analyze this part of our business and consider options for addressing variability in medical and the predictability of its contribution to Net Service Revenues and profitability." Results for the second quarter of 2015 reflect a net increase of 43,390 WSEs since June 30, 2014 representing 17% growth, as TriNet continued to utilize its growing salesforce to increase penetration of targeted customer verticals.

Net Service Revenues consisted of professional service revenues of $97.8 million and Net Insurance Service Revenues of $24.2 million. Net Insurance Service Revenues consisted of insurance service revenues of $542.2 million, less insurance costs of $518.0 million. Professional service revenues for the second quarter of 2015 increased 19%, and Net Insurance Service Revenues decreased 43%, compared to the second quarter of 2014. TriNet ended the second quarter with 486 Total Sales Representatives, up from 388 at the end of the second quarter of 2014, an increase of 25%.

Key Operating Metrics We regularly review certain key operating metrics to evaluate growth trends, measure our performance and make strategic decisions. Our key operating metrics for the periods presented were as follows:
Non-GAAP Financial Measures We use Net Insurance Service Revenues, Net Service Revenues, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and, pro forma Adjusted Net Income per share – diluted to provide an additional view of our operational performance. Net Insurance Service Revenues, Net Service Revenues, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and pro forma Adjusted Net Income per share – diluted are financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP. We define Net Insurance Service Revenues as insurance service revenues less insurance costs, which include the premiums we pay to insurance carriers for the health and workers compensation insurance coverage provided to our clients and WSEs and the reimbursements we pay to the insurance carriers for claim payments within our insurance deductible layer. We define Net Service Revenues as the sum of professional service revenues and Net Insurance Service Revenues. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), excluding the effects of our income tax provision, interest expense, depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, and stock-based compensation. We define Adjusted Net Income as net income (loss), excluding the effects of stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, non-cash interest expense, debt prepayment premium and, the income tax effect of these pre-tax adjustments at our effective tax rate. For purposes of our non-GAAP financial presentation, as a result of a 2015 increase in New York City tax rates, we have adjusted the effective tax rate to 40.5% for the periods ended June 30, 2015, from 39.5% for the periods ended June 30, 2014. Each of these effective tax rates exclude income tax on non-deductible stock-based compensation and discrete items including the cumulative effect of state law changes. Non-cash interest expense represents amortization and write-off of our debt issuance costs. We define pro forma Adjusted Net Income per share – diluted as Adjusted Net Income per basic share adjusted to reflect our equity structure as if our initial public offering and associated conversion of preferred stock had occurred at the beginning of the period and all option exercises that occurred during the period occurred at the beginning of the period, and then giving effect to all remaining potential shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of options or settlement of restricted stock units, to the extent dilutive. We believe that the use of Net Insurance Service Revenues provides useful information as it presents a measure of revenues from our provision of insurance services to our clients that eliminates the cost to us of that insurance. We believe that Net Service Revenues provides a useful measure of total revenues for the two main components of our revenues calculated on a consistent basis. We believe that the use of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and pro forma Adjusted Net Income per share – diluted provides additional period-to-period comparisons and analysis of trends in our business, as they exclude certain one-time and non-cash expenses. We believe that Net Insurance Service Revenues, Net Service Revenues, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and pro forma Adjusted Net Income per share – diluted are useful for our stockholders and board of directors by helping them to identify trends in our business and understand how our management evaluates our business. We use Net Insurance Service Revenues, Net Service Revenues, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and pro forma Adjusted Net Income per share – diluted to monitor and evaluate our operating results and trends on an ongoing basis and internally for operating, budgeting and financial planning purposes, in addition to allocating our resources to enhance the financial performance of our business and evaluating the effectiveness of our business strategies. We also use Net Service Revenues and Adjusted EBITDA in determining the incentive compensation for management. Net Insurance Service Revenues, Net Service Revenues, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and pro forma Adjusted Net Income per share – diluted are not prepared in accordance with, and should not be considered in isolation of, or as an alternative to, measurements required by GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. As non-GAAP measures, Net Insurance Service Revenues, Net Service Revenues, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and pro forma Adjusted Net Income per share – diluted have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. In particular:
Because of these limitations, you should consider Net Insurance Service Revenues, Net Service Revenues, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and pro forma Adjusted Net Income per share – diluted alongside other financial performance measures, including total revenues, net income (loss) and our other financial results presented in accordance with GAAP.
