Revenue rose 4.0% year-over-year to $1.62 billion, just shy of the $1.63 billion analysts had expected, with average paid worksite employees climbing 1% to 312,842. The core problem was an acute spike in inpatient, outpatient, pharmacy, and large-claim costs that drove gross profit down 15% to $195.00 million, widening the operating loss to $25.00 million from a slim $1.00 million gain a year ago. The brightest development of the quarter was a multi-year contract extension with UnitedHealthcare through 2028, which management said would meaningfully reduce costs and lower the large-claim pooling threshold to $500,000 beginning January 2026, substantially improving the forward outlook. Full-year 2025 adjusted EPS guidance of $0.84 to $1.47 reflects persistent near-term pressure, with Q4 expected to produce another adjusted loss, before the new UHC structure and the freshly launched HRScale offering with Workday can take effect.
Key Takeaways
- • Revenue growth of 4% driven by 3% increase in revenue per WSEE on higher pricing and 1% increase in paid WSEEs
- • Gross profit declined 15% due to higher-than-expected healthcare benefits costs including elevated inpatient, outpatient, pharmacy trends, and large claim frequency
- • Operating expenses decreased 4% partly due to reduced Workday partnership spending ($11M vs $19M in Q3 2024)
- • General and administrative expenses declined 15% year-over-year
