    Ceridian has not reconciled the Adjusted EBITDA range for the fourth quarter and full year of 2023 to the directly comparable GAAP financial measure because applicable information for the future period, on which this reconciliation would be based, is not available without unreasonable efforts 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. The probable significance of certain of these reconciling items is high and, based on historical experience, could be material.

    Foreign Exchange

    The average U.S. dollar to Canadian dollar foreign exchange rate was $1.34, with a daily range of $1.31 to $1.37 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $1.30, with a daily range of $1.28 to $1.38 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. To present the performance of the business excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations, Ceridian presents percentage change in revenue on a constant currency basis, which it believes is useful to management and investors. Percentage change in revenue on a constant currency basis was calculated by applying the average foreign exchange rate in effect during the comparable prior period.

    For the fourth quarter of 2023, Ceridian's guidance assumes an average U.S dollar to Canadian dollar foreign exchange rate of $1.36, compared to an average rate of $1.36 for the fourth quarter of 2022.

Forward-looking statements give Ceridian’s current expectations and projections relating to its financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business. Users can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements in this press release include statements relating to the fourth quarter and full fiscal year of 2023; future growth initiatives; the timing of Ceridian's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 filing; the impact of Ceridian's AI-related product innovations; and the average U.S. dollar to Canadian dollar exchange rates for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2023 and the impact of the exchange rates on Ceridian's financial guidance. These statements may include words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “seek,” “plan,” “intend,” “believe,” “will,” “may,” “could,” “continue,” “likely,” “should,” and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of the timing or nature of future operating or financial performance or other events but not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are based on assumptions that Ceridian has made in light of its industry experience and its perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments, and other factors that it believes are appropriate under the circumstances. As users consider this press release, it should be understood that these statements are not guarantees of performance or results. These assumptions and Ceridian’s future performance or results involve risks and uncertainties (many of which are beyond its control). In particular:

    • its inability to manage its growth effectively or execute on its growth strategy;
    • its failure to provide new or enhanced functionality and features;
    • its inability to successfully compete in the market in which Ceridian operates and expand its current offerings into new markets or further penetrate existing markets due to competition;
    • its inability to offer and deliver high-quality technical support, implementation and professional services;
    • system breaches, interruptions or failures, including cyber-security breaches, identity theft, or other disruptions that could compromise customer information or sensitive company information;
    • its failure to comply with applicable privacy, security, data, and financial services laws, regulations and standards, including its ongoing consent order with the Federal Trade Commission regarding data protection;
    • its failure to properly update its solutions to enable its customers to comply with applicable laws;
    • its failure to manage its aging technical operations infrastructure;
    • its inability to maintain necessary third-party relationships, and third-party software licenses, and identify errors in the software it licenses;
    • its inability to attract and retain senior management employees and highly skilled employees;
    • 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 Ceridian operates.

    Although Ceridian has attempted to identify important risk factors, 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 its new and existing customers; the risk factors noted above, individually or collectively, do not have a material impact on Ceridian; and other factors detailed from time to time in the most recent reports Ceridian files with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including, but not limited to, its annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. Copies of reports filed with the SEC are posted on Ceridian’s website and are available from Ceridian without charge. 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.

    Prior Period Correction

    Ceridian recently discovered an incorrect presentation of one Canadian bank account balance within the “customer funds” and “customer funds obligations” and related items on Ceridian’s condensed consolidated balance sheets and in Ceridian’s net cash provided by financing activities within its condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. As of December 31, 2022, there was an understatement of customer funds within current assets and a corresponding understatement of customer funds obligations within current liabilities in the amount of $546.3 million. The condensed consolidated balance sheets and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows contained in this Press Release reflect this correction.

    This was a reporting issue only, and no Ceridian customers' operations were affected. This correction does not have any impact on Ceridian's statements of operations, including revenue and income, measures of financial performance, including EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, liquidity, net cash provided by operating activities, or current or previously issued financial guidance. In addition, this correction does not affect the reported average float balance for Ceridian's customer funds.

    Ceridian is currently completing its quarterly review procedures and will file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for the period ended September 30, 2023, when completed.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    Ceridian uses certain non-GAAP financial measures in this release including:

    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 team uses these non-GAAP financial measures to assess operating performance because these financial 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 is a component of its management incentive plan and Adjusted Cloud recurring gross margin is a component of certain performance based equity awards for its named executive officers. These non-GAAP financial measures are not required by, defined under, or presented in accordance with, GAAP, and should not be considered as alternatives to Ceridian's results as reported under GAAP, have important limitations as analytical tools, and its 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 its future results will be unaffected by similar items to those eliminated in this presentation. Please refer to Ceridian’s full financial results, including further discussion of non-GAAP financial measures, on the Investor Relations portion of its website at investors.ceridian.com.

    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 is EBITDA, as adjusted to exclude share-based compensation expense and related employer taxes, and certain other items.
    • Adjusted EBITDA margin is determined by calculating the percentage Adjusted EBITDA is of total revenue.
    • Adjusted Cloud recurring gross margin is defined as Cloud recurring gross margin, as adjusted to exclude share-based compensation and related employer taxes, and certain other items, as a percentage of total Cloud recurring revenue.
    • Adjusted operating profit is defined as operating profit (loss), as adjusted to exclude share-based compensation expense and related employer taxes, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, and certain other items.
    • Adjusted operating profit margin is determined by calculating the percentage Adjusted operating profit is of total revenue.
    • Adjusted net income is defined as net income (loss), as adjusted to exclude share-based compensation expense and related employer taxes, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, and certain other items, all of which are adjusted for the effect of income taxes.
    • Adjusted net profit margin is determined by calculating the percentage Adjusted net income is of total revenue.
    • Adjusted diluted net income per share is calculated by dividing adjusted net income by diluted weighted average shares outstanding. When adjusted net income is positive, diluted weighted average shares outstanding incorporate the effect of dilutive equity instruments.
    • Percentage change in revenue, including total revenue and revenue by solution, on a constant currency basis is calculated by applying the average foreign exchange rate in effect during the comparable prior period.
    • 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 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.
