Business Outlook

Based on information available as of August 4, 2021, Ceridian has issued the following guidance for the remainder of fiscal year 2021:

Third quarter 2021 guidance 

  • Dayforce recurring revenue, excluding float revenue, of $151 million to $152 million, or an increase of 31% to 32% on a GAAP basis and 30% to 31% on a constant currency basis.  
  • Dayforce recurring revenue of $158 million to $159 million, or an increase of 29% to 30% on a GAAP basis and 27% to 28% on a constant currency basis.  
  • Dayforce revenue of $195 million to $197 million, or an increase of 24% to 25% on a GAAP basis and 22% to 23% on a constant currency basis.  
  • Cloud revenue of $215 million to $218 million, or an increase of 22% to 23% on a GAAP basis and 20% to 22% on a constant currency basis.  
  • Total revenue of $251 million to $255 million, or an increase of 23% to 25% on a GAAP basis and 21% to 23% on a constant currency basis.  
  • Float revenue of $7 million within Dayforce revenue, $9 million within Cloud revenue, and $10 million within total revenue. 
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $34 million to $38 million. 

Fourth quarter 2021 guidance 

  • Dayforce recurring revenue, excluding float revenue, of $163 million to $164 million, or an increase of 32% to 33% on a GAAP basis and 31% to 32% on a constant currency basis.  

Full Year 2021 guidance 

  • Dayforce recurring revenue, excluding float revenue, of $595 million to $597 million, or an increase of 28% to 29% on a GAAP basis and approximately 27% on a constant currency basis.  
  • Dayforce recurring revenue of $625 million to $627 million, or an increase of approximately 25% on a GAAP basis and 23% to 24% on a constant currency basis.  
  • Dayforce revenue of $778 million to $783 million, or an increase of 20% to 21% on a GAAP basis and 18% to 19% on a constant currency basis.  
  • Cloud revenue of $863 million to $870 million, or an increase of 18% to 19% on a GAAP basis and 16% to 17% on a constant currency basis.  
  • Total revenue of $1,008 million to $1,018 million, or an increase of 20% to 21% on a GAAP basis and 18% to 19% on a constant currency basis. 
  • Float revenue of $30 million within Dayforce revenue, $38 million within Cloud revenue, and $41 million within total revenue. 
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $155 million to $165 million. 

Supplemental guidance details

Ceridian’s full year 2021 guidance includes Ascender revenue of $72.5 million, of which $16 million is Dayforce recurring revenue, $4 million is Dayforce professional services and other revenue, and $52.5 million is Bureau revenue. In each of the third and fourth quarters, Ceridian’s guidance includes Ascender revenue of $21.5 million, of which $4.5 million is Dayforce recurring revenue, $1 million is Dayforce professional services and other revenue, and $16 million is Bureau revenue.

As a result of the increased depreciation and amortization related to Ascender and Ideal, Ceridian now expects full year 2021 depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $85 million, an increase of approximately $20 million compared to previous expectations. While this is a non-cash expense, and does not impact Adjusted EBITDA, it will have a negative impact to net income and Adjusted net income compared to previous expectations.

Ceridian has not reconciled the Adjusted EBITDA range for the third or fourth quarters of 2021 to the directly comparable GAAP financial measure because applicable information for the future period, on which this reconciliation would be based, is not readily available due to uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, share-based compensation expense and related employer taxes, changes in foreign currency exchange rates, and other items.

Foreign Exchange

The average U.S. dollar to Canadian dollar foreign exchange rate was $1.23, with a daily range of $1.20 to $1.26, for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $1.39, with a daily range of $1.34 to $1.42, for the three months ended June 30, 2020. As of June 30, 2021, the U.S. dollar to Canadian dollar foreign exchange rate was $1.24. 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.

Ceridian’s third and fourth quarter 2021 guidance assumes an average U.S. dollar to Canadian dollar foreign exchange rate of $1.27, compared to an average rate of $1.33 in the third quarter of 2020 and $1.30 in the fourth quarter of 2020.  

For the full year 2021, Ceridian’s guidance assumes an average U.S. dollar to Canadian dollar foreign exchange rate of $1.26, compared to an average rate of $1.34 for the full year of 2020.

Ceridian will host a conference call to discuss second quarter 2021 earnings at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on August 4, 2021.

About Ceridian HCM Holding Inc.

The Dayforce platform is used to optimize management of the entire employee lifecycle, including attracting, engaging, paying, deploying, and developing people. Ceridian has solutions for organizations of all sizes.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Ceridian uses certain non-GAAP financial measures in this release including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted net income, and revenue on a constant currency basis. Ceridian believes that Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, and Adjusted net income, non-GAAP financial measures, are useful to management and investors as supplemental measures to evaluate its overall operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are components of Ceridian’s management incentive plan and are used by management to assess performance and to compare its operating performance to its competitors. Ceridian defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, 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 charges. Adjusted EBITDA margin is determined by calculating the percentage Adjusted EBITDA is of total revenue. 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, and other non-recurring charges, all of which are adjusted for the effect of income taxes. Ceridian believes that Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, and Adjusted net income are helpful in highlighting management performance trends because Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, and Adjusted net income exclude the results of decisions that are outside the normal course of its business operations.

Ceridian’s presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, and Adjusted net income are intended as supplemental measures of its performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, and Adjusted net income should not be considered as alternatives to net income, earnings per share, or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP, or as measures of operating cash flows or liquidity. Ceridian’s presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, and Adjusted net income should not be construed to imply that its future results will be unaffected by similar items to those eliminated in this presentation. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, and Adjusted net income are included in this discussion because they are key metrics used by management to assess its operating performance.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, and Adjusted net income are not defined under GAAP, are not measures of net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP, and are subject to important limitations. Ceridian’s use of the terms Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, and Adjusted net income may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies in its industry and are not measures of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, and Adjusted net income have important limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of Ceridian’s results as reported under GAAP.

In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, and Adjusted net income, users should be aware that in the future Ceridian may incur expenses similar to those eliminated in this presentation.

Ceridian presents revenue on a constant currency basis to assess how its underlying businesses performed, excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations, 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. Dayforce recurring revenue per customer is calculated on a constant currency basis by applying the prior year average exchange rate to all comparable periods.

  • other risks and uncertainties described in its most recent annual report on Form 10-K, subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Additional factors or events that could cause Ceridian’s actual performance to differ from these forward-looking statements may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for Ceridian to predict all of them. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of Ceridian’s assumptions prove incorrect, its actual financial condition, results of operations, future performance and business may vary in material respects from the performance projected in these forward-looking statements. In addition to any factors and assumptions set forth above in this press release, the material factors and assumptions used to develop the forward-looking information include, but are not limited to: the general economy remains stable; the competitive environment in the HCM market remains stable; the demand environment for HCM solutions remains stable; Ceridian’s implementation capabilities and cycle times remain stable; foreign exchange rates, both current and those used in developing forward-looking statements, specifically USD to CAD, remain stable at, or near, current rates; Ceridian will be able to maintain its relationships with its employees, customers and partners; Ceridian will continue to attract qualified personnel to support its development requirements and the support of its new and existing customers; and that the risk factors noted above, individually or collectively, do not have a material impact on Ceridian. Any forward-looking statement made by Ceridian in this press release speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Ceridian undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law.
