Company Report

TriNet Earnings: Rising Insurance Costs and Modest Hiring Offset by Improving Retention

Narrow-moat TriNet reported mixed second -quarter 2024 results that met our top-line expectations but fell short of our profitability assumptions amid ongoing pressure from elevated insurance costs. As consistent with management’s guidance, TriNet’s insurance costs are normalizing from pandemic-era lows amid rising utilization and health cost inflation. We expect TriNet to pass through elevated costs through regular quarterly repricing, and for the insurance cost ratio to normalize to 89% from 2025 onward.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Rising regulatory complexity, dispersed workforces, and fierce competition for labor are attractive tailwinds for TriNet and PEO peers.

Bears

TriNet is exposed to the small-business market, which is more susceptible to natural attrition and heightened risk of failure in an economic downturn.

Company Profile

TriNet offers outsourced payroll and human capital management solutions for small and midsize businesses via a professional employer organization model. Under the PEO model, TriNet enters a co-employment arrangement and acts as the employer of record for administrative and regulatory purposes for clients’ employees, known as worksite employees. Clients leverage the scale and expertise of TriNet to access competitive employee benefits, share employment risk liability, access compliance support, and outsource mission-critical day-to-day HR functions such as payroll and tax administration. Following the acquisition of Zenefits and Clarus R+D in 2022, TriNet derives the minority of its revenue from self-service HCM software and R&D tax credit services.
