Supplemental Detail

• 5.95 million global employees were live on the Dayforce platform as of December 31, 2022, up 17.1% compared to 5.08 million global employees as of December 31, 2021.²
• Dayforce recurring revenue per customer was $121,425 for the trailing twelve months ended December 31, 2022, an increase of 11.8%.³
• The average float balance for Ceridian’s customer funds during the quarter increased 6.3% to $4,284.4 million and the average yield on Ceridian’s float balance was 3.01%, an increase of 200 basis points year over year. On a constant currency basis, the average float balance for Ceridian’s customer funds increased 8.9%. As a result, float revenue from invested customer funds was $32.8 million. The allocation of float revenue to Dayforce and Cloud revenue was $26.2 million and $30.5 million, respectively.
• Effective December 1, 2022, as a result of reviewing its customer lifecycle analysis, Ceridian increased the expected period of benefit of its deferred sales commissions from five years to ten years. This change in accounting estimate and related customer period of benefit is largely attributable to new evidence of longer customer relationships such as increases in proportion of new customer contracts greater than three years as well as Ceridian’s continued high customer retention rates. The change was made on a prospective basis, and as a result, reduced commissions expense by $3.2 million for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022. This change in estimate will also impact future periods.
• In fiscal year 2022, the average U.S. dollar to Canadian dollar foreign exchange rate was $1.36 and $1.30, with a daily range of $1.32 to $1.39 and $1.25 to $1.39 for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022 compared to $1.26 and $1.25, with a daily range of $1.23 to $1.29 and $1.20 to $1.29 for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2021. 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.

1. Represents share-based compensation expense and related employer taxes.
2. Represents costs for severance compensation paid to employees whose positions have been eliminated or who have been terminated not for cause. During the three months and year ended December 31, 2022, Ceridian incurred severance charges in conjunction with the re-balancing of the workforce across its global footprint in the amount of $2.4 million and $21.0 million, respectively, within cost of recurring revenue.
3. Represents consulting fees and expenses incurred during the periods presented in connection with any acquisition, investment, disposition, recapitalization, equity offering, issuance or repayment of debt, issuance of equity interests, or refinancing.
4. Represents (1) the net impact of the abandonment of certain leased facilities, resulting in a net gain of $0.3 million in 2022 and $17.2 million in 2021 primarily as a result of the $19.1 million gain on the sale of the St. Petersburg, Florida facility, (2) the impact of $4.6 million and $0.6 million related to the fair value adjustments of the DataFuzion HCM, Inc. (“DataFuzion”) contingent consideration in 2022 and 2021, respectively, and (3) the difference of $1.4 million and $5.6 million in 2022 and 2021, respectively, between the historical five-year average pension expense and the current period actuarially determined pension expense associated with the planned termination of the frozen U.S. pension plan and related changes in investment strategy associated with protecting the now fully funded status.
5. Net profit margin is determined by calculating the percentage that net loss is of total revenue.

The following tables present a reconciliation of the reported results to the non-GAAP financial measures EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted operating profit, Adjusted net income, and Adjusted diluted net income per share for all periods presented:

1. Other includes amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, restructuring consulting fees, the impact of the fair value adjustment for the DataFuzion contingent consideration, the difference between the historical five-year average pension expense and the current period actuarially determined pension expense associated with the planned termination of the frozen U.S. pension plan and related changes in investment strategy associated with protecting the now fully funded status, the net impact related to the abandonment of certain leased facilities, and foreign exchange gain.
2. The Adjusted column is a non-GAAP financial measure, adjusted to exclude foreign exchange gains (losses), share-based compensation expense and related employer taxes, severance charges, restructuring consulting fees, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, and other non-recurring items, all of which are adjusted for the effect of income taxes.
3. Income tax effects have been calculated based on the statutory tax rates in effect in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions during the period.
4. Both GAAP and Adjusted net income (loss) per share are calculated by dividing either GAAP or Adjusted net income by the basic or diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. When adjusted diluted net income per share is positive, diluted weighted average common shares outstanding incorporate the effect of dilutive equity instruments. GAAP basic and diluted net loss per share are calculated based upon 153,680,044 weighted-average shares of common stock and Adjusted basic and diluted net income per share are calculated based upon 153,680,044 and 156,536,175 weighted-average shares of common stock, respectively.

Other includes amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, net gain related to the abandonment of certain leases, primarily as a result of the $19.1 million gain on the sale of Ceridian’s St. Petersburg, Florida facility, foreign exchange loss, restructuring consulting fees, the difference between the historical five-year average run rate and the current period actuarially determined pension expense resulting from the changes in investment strategy associated with protecting the now fully funded status of its largest U.S pension plan, and the impact of the fair value adjustment for the DataFuzion contingent consideration.
2. The Adjusted column is a non-GAAP financial measure, adjusted to exclude foreign exchange gains (losses), share-based compensation expense and related employer taxes, severance charges, restructuring consulting fees, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, and other non-recurring items, all of which are adjusted for the effect of income taxes.
3. Income tax effects have been calculated based on the statutory tax rates in effect in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions during the period.
4. Both GAAP and Adjusted net income (loss) per share are calculated by dividing either GAAP or Adjusted net income by the basic or diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. When adjusted diluted net income per share is positive, diluted weighted average common shares outstanding incorporate the effect of dilutive equity instruments. GAAP basic and diluted net loss per share are calculated based upon 150,402,321 weighted-average shares of common stock, and Adjusted basic and diluted net income per share are calculated based upon 150,402,321 and 156,842,934 weighted-average shares of common stock, respectively.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Ceridian uses certain non-GAAP financial measures in this release including EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted operating profit, Adjusted net income, Adjusted diluted net income per share, revenue on a constant currency basis, Cloud ARR, Annual Dayforce revenue retention rate, Dayforce recurring revenue per customer, and Adjusted Cloud recurring gross margin. 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 uses these non-GAAP financial measures to assess operating performance because these 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 and Adjusted EBITDA margin are components of Ceridian’s management incentive plan.

Ceridian defines its non-GAAP financial measures as follows:

• EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, and Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA, as adjusted to exclude foreign exchange gains (losses), share-based compensation expense and related employer taxes, severance charges, restructuring consulting fees, and other non-recurring items.
• Adjusted EBITDA margin is determined by calculating the percentage Adjusted EBITDA is of total revenue.
• Cloud recurring gross margin is defined as total Cloud recurring revenue less cost of Cloud recurring revenue as a percentage of total Cloud recurring revenue, which is exclusive of any product development and management or depreciation and amortization cost allocations. Adjusted Cloud recurring gross margin is defined as total Cloud recurring revenue less cost of Cloud recurring revenue, as adjusted to exclude share-based compensation and severance charges, as a percentage of total Cloud recurring revenue, which is exclusive of any product development and management or depreciation and amortization cost allocations.
• Adjusted operating profit is defined as operating profit (loss), as adjusted to exclude foreign exchange gains (losses), share-based compensation expense and related employer taxes, severance charges, restructuring consulting fees, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, and other non-recurring items.
• Adjusted net income is defined as net income (loss), as adjusted to exclude foreign exchange gains (losses), share-based compensation expense and related employer taxes, severance charges, restructuring consulting fees, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, and other non-recurring items, all of which are adjusted for the effect of income taxes.
• Adjusted diluted net income per share is calculated by dividing adjusted net income by diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. When adjusted diluted net income per share is positive, diluted weighted average common shares outstanding incorporate the effect of dilutive equity instruments.
• Revenue on a constant currency basis is calculated by applying the average foreign exchange rate in effect during the comparable prior period.
• Cloud ARR is calculated by starting with recurring revenue at year end, excluding revenue from Ascender and ADAM HCM, subtracting the once-a-year charges, annualizing the revenue for customers live for less than a full year to reflect the revenue that would have been realized if the customer had been live for a full year, and adding back the once-a-year charges. Ceridian has not reconciled Cloud ARR because there is no directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
• Annual Dayforce revenue retention rate is calculated as a percentage, excluding Ascender and ADAM HCM, where the numerator is the Dayforce ARR for the prior year, less the Dayforce ARR from lost Dayforce customers during that year; and the denominator is the Dayforce ARR for the prior year. Ceridian has not reconciled Annual Dayforce revenue retention rate because there is no directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
• Dayforce recurring revenue per customer is an indicator of the average size of Dayforce recurring revenue customers. To calculate Dayforce recurring revenue per customer, Ceridian starts with Dayforce recurring revenue on a constant currency basis by applying the same exchange rate to all comparable periods for the trailing twelve months and excludes float revenue, the impact of lower employment levels in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and Ascender and ADAM HCM revenue. This amount is divided by the number of live Dayforce customers at the end of the trailing twelve month period, excluding Ascender and ADAM HCM. Ceridian has not reconciled the Dayforce recurring revenue per customer because there is no directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

Ceridian’s presentation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted operating profit, Adjusted net income, Adjusted diluted net income per share, revenue on a constant currency basis, Cloud ARR, Annual Dayforce revenue retention rate, Dayforce recurring revenue per customer, and Adjusted Cloud recurring gross margin are intended as supplemental measures of Ceridian’s performance that are not required by, defined under, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to Ceridian’s results as reported under GAAP, have important limitations as analytical tools, and Ceridian’s use of these terms may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies in its industry. Ceridian’s presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed to imply that future results will be unaffected by similar items to those eliminated in this presentation.
