Adjusted EBITDA | $87 million to $90 million | Ceridian continues to make investments to expand its global HCM footprint. |
(1) | Other recurring revenue, previously described as Bureau, primarily consists of Asia Pacific Japan (“APJ”) region and legacy North American solutions. |

Total Revenue | $1,480 million to $1,500 million, an increase of 19% to 20% or 20% to 21% on a constant currency basis. | Ceridian expects Other recurring revenue, excluding float1 to decline approximately 35% to 38% or 34% to 37% on a constant currency basis as a result of tax modernization and the sunsetting of certain legacy solutions.

Ceridian has not reconciled the Adjusted EBITDA range for the second quarter or full year of 2023 to the directly comparable GAAP financial measure because applicable information for the future period, on which this reconciliation would be based, is not available without unreasonable efforts due to uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense and related employer taxes, changes in foreign currency exchange rates, and other items. The probable significance of certain of these reconciling items is high and, based on historical experience, could be material.
Foreign Exchange
The average U.S. dollar to Canadian dollar foreign exchange rate was $1.35, with a daily range of $1.33 to $1.39 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $1.27, with a daily range of $1.25 to $1.29 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. To present the performance of the business excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations, Ceridian presents revenue on a constant currency basis, which it believes is useful to management and investors. Revenue was calculated on a constant currency basis by applying the average foreign exchange rate in effect during the comparable prior period.
For the full year and second quarter of 2023, Ceridian’s guidance assumes an average U.S dollar to Canadian dollar foreign exchange rate of $1.34, compared to an average rate of $1.28 and $1.25 for the second quarter and full year of 2022, respectively.

Ceridian will host a conference call to discuss the first quarter 2023 earnings at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on May 3, 2023.

Ceridian believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to management and investors as supplemental measures to evaluate its overall operating performance including comparison across periods and with competitors. Ceridian’s management team uses these non-GAAP financial measures to assess operating performance because these financial measures exclude the results of decisions that are outside the normal course of its business operations, and are used for internal budgeting and forecasting purposes both for short- and long-term operating plans. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is a component of its management incentive plan and Adjusted Cloud recurring gross margin is a component of certain performance based equity awards for its named executive officers. These non-GAAP financial measures are not required by, defined under, or presented in accordance with, GAAP, and should not be considered as alternatives to Ceridian’s results as reported under GAAP, have important limitations as analytical tools, and its use of these terms may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies in our industry. Ceridian’s presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed to imply that its future results will be unaffected by similar items to those eliminated in this presentation.
Ceridian defines its non-GAAP financial measures as follows:
