Insights

The Q3 results present a mixed picture with concerning trends. While revenue grew 11.2% to $451.9 million, both GAAP and non-GAAP earnings declined year-over-year. The 2.7% drop in GAAP net income to $73.3 million and 8.8% decrease in non-GAAP net income to $93.4 million signal margin pressure.

The company maintains a strong balance sheet with zero debt and increased cash position of $325.8 million. The 98.5% recurring revenue demonstrates stable business fundamentals. However, the slower growth rate compared to historical performance and declining profits warrant attention. The Q4 guidance of $477-484 million in revenue implies continued deceleration in growth momentum.

The human capital management software market is experiencing heightened competition and pricing pressure. Paycom's emphasis on "full-solution automation" indicates a strategic focus on differentiation through technology, but the declining margins suggest challenges in maintaining pricing power. The company's continued share repurchases ($44 million in Q3) and dividend payments ($21 million) reflect confidence in cash flow generation, but may also indicate organic growth opportunities.

OKLAHOMA CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Paycom Software, Inc. (“Paycom,” “we” and “our”) (NYSE: PAYC), a leading provider of comprehensive, cloud-based human capital management software, today announced its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.

“We posted solid third quarter results and continue to make significant progress toward full-solution automation,” said Paycom founder, CEO and chairman, Chad Richison. “We already have the most automated solution in the industry and continue to deliver even stronger ROI to our clients.”

Financial Highlights for the Third Quarter of 2024

Total Revenues of $451.9 million represented a 11.2% increase compared to total revenues of $406.3 million in the same period last year. Recurring revenues of $445.0 million increased 11.6% from the comparable prior year period and constituted 98.5% of total revenues.

GAAP Net Income was $73.3 million, or $1.31 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net income of $75.2 million, or $1.30 per diluted share, in the same period last year.

Non-GAAP Net Income¹ was $93.4 million, or $1.67 per diluted share, compared to $102.4 million, or $1.77 per diluted share, in the same period last year.

Adjusted EBITDA¹ was $171.3 million, compared to $165.6 million in the same period last year.

Cash and Cash Equivalents were $325.8 million as of September 30, 2024, compared to $294.0 million as of December 31, 2023. During the quarter ended September 30, 2024, Paycom paid $21.0 million in cash dividends and repurchased 303,245 shares of common stock for $44.0 million, in the aggregate.

Total Debt was $0 as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

¹Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share are non-GAAP financial measures. Please see the discussion below under the heading “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information” and the reconciliations at the end of this release for additional information concerning these and other non-GAAP financial measures.

Financial Outlook

Paycom provides the following expected financial guidance for the quarter and the year ending December 31, 2024.

Quarter Ending December 31, 2024:

Total Revenues in the range of $477 million to $484 million.

Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $184.5 million to $191.5 million.

Year Ending December 31, 2024:

Total Revenues in the range of $1.866 billion to $1.873 billion.

Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $745 million to $752 million.

We have not reconciled the forward-looking adjusted EBITDA ranges presented above and discussed on the teleconference call to net income, nor the forward-looking adjusted EBITDA margins and forward-looking non-GAAP effective income tax rate discussed on the teleconference call to comparable GAAP measures, because applicable information for future periods, on which these reconciliations would be based, is not readily available due to uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, taxes, non-cash stock-based compensation expense and other items. Accordingly, reconciliations of the forward-looking adjusted EBITDA ranges to net income, the forward-looking adjusted EBITDA margins to net income margin, and the forward-looking non-GAAP effective income tax rate to the GAAP effective income tax rate are not available at this time without unreasonable effort.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), we present certain non-GAAP financial measures in this press release and on the related teleconference call, including adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income, adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, adjusted sales and marketing expenses, adjusted total administrative expenses, adjusted research and development expenses, adjusted total research and development costs, adjusted EBITDA margin and non-GAAP effective income tax rate. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures as supplemental measures to review and assess the performance of our core business operations and for planning purposes. We define (i) adjusted EBITDA as net income plus interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, certain transaction expenses that are not core to our operations (if any) and any loss on the extinguishment of debt, (ii) non-GAAP net income as net income plus non-cash stock-based compensation expense, certain transaction expenses that are not core to our operations (if any) and any loss on the extinguishment of debt, all of which are adjusted for the effect of income taxes, (iii) adjusted gross profit as gross profit plus applicable non-cash stock-based compensation expense, (iv) adjusted gross margin as gross profit plus applicable non-cash stock-based compensation expense, divided by total revenues, (v) each adjusted expense item as the GAAP expense amount less applicable non-cash stock-based compensation expense, (vi) adjusted total research and development costs as total research and development costs (including the capitalized portion) less applicable non-cash stock-based compensation (including the capitalized portion), (vii) adjusted EBITDA margin as adjusted EBITDA (calculated as described in clause (i)) divided by total revenues, and (viii) non-GAAP effective income tax rate as the provision for income taxes plus the income tax effect on non-GAAP adjustments divided by non-GAAP net income (calculated as described in clause (ii)) plus the provision for income taxes and the income tax effect on non-GAAP adjustments. The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release and discussed on the related teleconference call provide investors with greater transparency to the information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. We believe these metrics are useful to investors because they facilitate comparisons of our core business operations across periods on a consistent basis, as well as comparisons with the results of peer companies, many of which use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement results under GAAP. In addition, adjusted EBITDA is a measure that provides useful information to management about the amount of cash available for reinvestment in our business, paying dividends, repurchasing common stock and other purposes. Management believes that the non-GAAP measures presented in this press release and discussed on the related teleconference call, when viewed in combination with our results prepared in accordance with GAAP, provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business and performance.

The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release and discussed on the related teleconference call are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for net income, gross profit, gross margin, research and development expenses, sales and marketing expenses, administrative expenses, total research and development costs and GAAP effective income tax rate. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing our operating performance, you should not consider these non-GAAP financial measures in isolation, or as a substitute for the consolidated statements of income data prepared in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures that we present may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, and other companies may not calculate such measures in the same manner as we do.
