Simonds continued, "As we enter 2025, we have a clear strategy in place and have begun executing on a number of actions that position TriNet for growth, margin expansion, and value creation over the medium-term. We expect momentum to build through the year as we continue to reprice our insurance book and our investments in our benefits offering, go-to-market approach, and increasingly tech-enabled service model begin to yield tangible results."

We are not able to provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures included in our medium-term outlook to the closest corresponding GAAP measure without unreasonable efforts because we are unable to predict the ultimate outcome of certain significant items including but not limited to volume growth and Insurance Cost Ratio. For the same reasons, we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a potentially unpredictable and potentially significant impact on our future GAAP financial results.

We anticipate filing our Annual Report on Form 10-K ("Form 10-K") for the year ended December 31, 2024 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and making it available at http://www.trinet.com on or about February 13, 2025. This press release should be read in conjunction with the Form 10-K and the related Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in the Form 10-K.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the selected financial measures presented in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), we monitor other non-GAAP financial measures that we use to manage our business, to make planning decisions, to allocate resources and to use as performance measures in our executive compensation plan. These key financial measures provide an additional view of our operational performance over the long term and provide information that we use to maintain and grow our business.

The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is used to enhance the understanding of certain aspects of our financial performance. It is not meant to be considered in isolation from, superior to, or as a substitute for the directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.


     Non-GAAP Measure                   Definition        
     
                How We Use The Measure


     Adjusted EBITDA       -- Net (loss) income, excluding   -- Provides period-to-period comparisons on a consistent basis and an understanding as to how our management evaluates the effectiveness of our business
                            the effects of:                  strategies by excluding certain non-recurring costs, which include restructuring costs, as well as certain non-cash charges such as depreciation and
                                                             amortization, and stock-based compensation and certain impairment charges recognized based on the estimated fair values. We believe these charges are either
                                                             not directly resulting from our core operations or not indicative of our ongoing operations.

                           -income tax provision,         
     -- Enhances comparisons to the prior period and, accordingly, facilitates the development of future projections and earnings growth prospects.

                           -interest expense, bank fees
                            and other,                    
     -- Provides a measure, among others, used in the determination of incentive compensation for management.

                         
     - depreciation,                
     -- We also sometimes refer to Adjusted EBITDA margin, which is the ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to total revenues.

                           -amortization of intangible
                            assets,

                           -stock based compensation
                            expense,

                           -amortization of cloud
                            computing arrangements,

                           -transaction and integration
                            costs, and

                           -restructuring costs.




     Adjusted Net Income   -- Net (loss) income, excluding   -- Provides information to our stockholders and board of directors to understand how our management evaluates our business, to monitor and evaluate our operating
                            the effects of:                  results, and analyze profitability of our ongoing operations and trends on a consistent basis by excluding certain non-cash charges.

                           -effective income tax rate
                            (1),

                           -stock based compensation,

                           -amortization of intangible
                            assets, net,

                           - non-cash interest expense,

                           -transaction and integration
                            costs,

                           -restructuring costs, and

                           - the income tax effect (at
                            our effective tax rate (1) of
                            these pre-tax adjustments.)


     Free Cash Flow        -- Net cash provided by
                            operating activities reduced
                            by capital expenditures       
     -- Provides our management with a measure for capital planning, performance evaluation and resource allocation.




     
     (1) Non-GAAP effective tax rate is 25.6% for the fourth quarters and full years of 2024 and 2023, which excludes the income tax impact from stock-based compensation, changes in uncertain tax positions, and
              nonrecurring benefits or expenses from federal legislative changes.

In 2024, we changed our presentation method in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows to classify changes in WSE and TriNet Trust assets and liabilities as financing activities. As a result of this change, we will no longer use Corporate Operating Cash Flows as a non-GAAP financial measure. In 2024 we also added Free Cash Flow as part of our non-GAAP financial measures.
