Business Outlook

Based on information available as of August 3, 2022, Ceridian is issuing the following guidance for the third quarter of 2022 and updating full year 2022 outlook as indicated below. Ceridian's outlook reflects a revised average U.S. dollar to Canadian dollar foreign exchange rate of $1.29 compared to the previous assumption of $1.25. For the full year 2022, Ceridian is adjusting its guidance for Dayforce recurring revenue, excluding float revenue, to reflect the adverse impact of a stronger U.S. dollar noted above, while maintaining its prior guidance on a constant currency basis. Further, Ceridian is increasing its guidance on cloud revenue, total revenue and Adjusted EBITDA. Comparisons are on a year-over-year basis, unless stated otherwise.

Third Quarter 2022 Guidance

  • Dayforce recurring revenue, excluding float revenue, of $188 million to $190 million or an increase of 23% to 24% on a GAAP basis, and 24% to 26% on a constant currency basis.

  • Cloud revenue of $269 million to $272 million, or an increase of 22% to 24% on a GAAP basis and 24% to 26% on a constant currency basis.

  • Total revenue of $304 million to $307 million, or an increase of 18% to 19% on a GAAP basis and 20% to 21% on a constant currency basis.

  • Float revenue of $17.5 million, an increase of 77% on a GAAP basis, and 79% on a constant currency basis.

  • Adjusted EBITDA of $48 million to $50 million.

Full Year 2022 Guidance

  • Dayforce recurring revenue, excluding float revenue, of $747 million to $757 million, or an increase of 25% to 27% on a GAAP basis, and 26% to 28% on a constant currency basis, compared to previously issued guidance of $751 million to $762 million.

  • Cloud revenue of $1,072 million to $1,084 million, or an increase of 23% to 24% on a GAAP basis, and 24% to 26% on a constant currency basis, compared to previously issued guidance of $1,067 million to $1,083 million.

  • Total revenue of $1,218 million to $1,233 million, or an increase of 19% to 20% on a GAAP basis, and 20% to 22% on a constant currency basis, compared to previously issued guidance of $1,208 million to $1,230 million.

  • Float revenue of $65 million, an increase of 58% on a GAAP basis, and 60% on a constant currency basis, compared to previously issued guidance of $52 million.

  • Adjusted EBITDA of $210 million to $225 million, compared to previously issued guidance of $190 million to $205 million.

Supplemental guidance details

As expected, Ceridian incurred severance and restructuring costs in the second quarter of 2022 in conjunction with the re-balancing of its workforce across its global footprint. These costs amounted to $5.2 million in the second quarter of 2022 and were accounted for in cost of recurring revenue. Ceridian now expects an additional $6 million of costs associated with this re-balancing of the workforce. The majority of these remaining costs are expected to be incurred in the third quarter, with the balance recognized in the fourth quarter of 2022. Excluding these costs, Ceridian expects cloud recurring gross margin to continue to improve throughout the second half of 2022.

Ceridian's updated float guidance reflects the near-term rate environment and the rolling maturity of its laddered core portfolio.

Ceridian has not reconciled the Adjusted EBITDA range for the full year or third quarter of 2022 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 $1.28, with a daily range of $1.25 to $1.30 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $1.23, with a daily range of $1.20 to $1.26 for the three months ended June 30, 2021. As of June 30, 2022, the U.S. dollar to Canadian dollar foreign exchange rate was $1.29. 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 third quarter of 2022, Ceridian's guidance assumes an average U.S dollar to Canadian dollar foreign exchange rate of $1.29, compared to an average rate of $1.26 for the third quarter of 2021 and $1.25 for the full year of 2021.

Conference Call Details

Ceridian will host a conference call to discuss the second quarter of 2022 earnings at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on August 3, 2022.

About Ceridian HCM Holding Inc.

Ceridian. Makes Work Life Better™.

Ceridian is a global human capital management software company. Dayforce, the flagship cloud HCM platform, provides human resources, payroll, benefits, workforce management, and talent management functionality. 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 EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted net income, Adjusted diluted net income per share, revenue on a constant currency basis, Dayforce recurring revenue per customer, and Adjusted Cloud recurring gross margin. Ceridian believes that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Cloud recurring gross 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 EBITDA 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. Adjusted Cloud recurring 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 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. Ceridian believes that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Cloud recurring gross margin, and Adjusted net income are helpful in highlighting management performance trends because EBITDA, 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 EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Cloud recurring gross margin, and Adjusted net income are intended as supplemental measures of its performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Cloud recurring gross margin, and Adjusted net income should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss), earnings (loss) 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 EBITDA, 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. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Cloud recurring gross margin, and Adjusted net income are included in this discussion because they are key metrics used by management to assess its operating performance.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Cloud recurring gross margin, and Adjusted net income are not defined under GAAP, are not measures of net income (loss) or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP, and are subject to important limitations. Ceridian’s use of the terms EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Cloud recurring gross 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.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Cloud recurring gross 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 EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Cloud recurring gross 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.

Ceridian's Dayforce recurring revenue per customer is an indicator of the average size of its 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 and 2020 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 calculates and monitors Dayforce recurring revenue per customer on a quarterly basis. Ceridian's Dayforce recurring revenue per customer may fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, including the number of live Dayforce customers and the number of customers purchasing the full HCM suite. Ceridian has not reconciled the Dayforce recurring revenue per customer because there is no directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical fact or relating to present facts or current conditions included in this press release are forward-looking statements.

  • the impact of its outstanding debt obligations on its financial condition, results of operations, and value of its common stock; or

  • the duration and scope of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the uncertainty around the surge of different variants and the actions that governmental authorities may take in all the jurisdictions where we operate.

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.
