Business Outlook

Based on information available as of November 3, 2021, Ceridian updated its guidance for the fourth quarter and for the full year 2021 as follows:

Ceridian is increasing its previously issued full year 2021 guidance for Dayforce recurring revenue, excluding float revenue, and now expects:

• Dayforce recurring revenue, excluding float revenue, of $596 million to $598 million, or an increase of 29% on a GAAP basis and approximately 27% on a constant currency basis (Previous range $595 million to $597 million).
• Excluding the impact of Ascender revenue of approximately $16 million, Dayforce recurring revenue, excluding float revenue, is expected to grow approximately 25% to 26% on a GAAP basis and 23% to 24% on a constant currency basis.
• This revised guidance for full year 2021 includes a slightly wider range for Dayforce recurring revenue, excluding float revenue, in the fourth quarter than previously provided. Ceridian’s previous fourth quarter guidance included expected recovery of employment levels which would add $1.5 million of Dayforce recurring revenue in the fourth quarter on a sequential basis compared to the third quarter. In the third quarter, Ceridian noticed an increase in the time-to-fill open vacancies that is longer than historical trends, and therefore, it is widening its range of the expected improvement from employment levels in the fourth quarter to $0.5 million to $1.5 million.

In addition, Ceridian now expects for the full year 2021:

• Dayforce recurring revenue of $626 million to $628 million, or an increase of approximately 25% to 26% on a GAAP basis and 23% to 24% on a constant currency basis (Previous range $625 million to $627 million).
• Dayforce revenue of $781 million to $784 million, or an increase of 20% to 21% on a GAAP basis and 18% to 19% on a constant currency basis (Previous range $778 million to $783 million).

• Cloud revenue of $867 million to $871 million, or an increase of 19% on a GAAP basis and 16% to 17% on a constant currency basis (Previous range $863 million to $870 million).
• Total revenue of $1,014 million to $1,019 million, or an increase of 20% to 21% on a GAAP basis and 18% to 19% on a constant currency basis (Previous range $1,008 million to $1,018 million). Excluding the impact of Ascender revenue of approximately $72 million, total revenue is expected to grow 12% on a GAAP basis and 9% to 10% on a constant currency basis.
• Float revenue of $30 million within Dayforce revenue, $38 million within Cloud revenue, and $41 million within total revenue (Previously $30 million, $38 million and $41 million, respectively).
• Adjusted EBITDA of $156 million to $162 million, or Adjusted EBITDA margin of 15.4% to 15.9% (Previous range 15.4% to 16.2%).

Ceridian has not reconciled the Adjusted EBITDA range for the full year 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, depreciation and amortization, 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 $1.26, with a daily range of $1.23 to $1.29, for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $1.33, with a daily range of $1.30 to $1.36, for the three months ended September 30, 2020. As of September 30, 2021, the U.S. dollar to Canadian dollar foreign exchange rate was $1.27. 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 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.

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.

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.
