Forward Guidance

Paycom provides the following expected financial guidance for the quarter ending June 30, 2022 and the year ending December 31, 2022:

Positive Outlook

  • Total Revenues in the range of $308 million to $310 million for the quarter ending June 30, 2022.
  • Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $111 million to $113 million for the quarter ending June 30, 2022.
  • Total Revenues in the range of $1.333 billion to $1.335 billion for the year ending December 31, 2022.
  • Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $533 million to $535 million for the year ending December 31, 2022.
  • The company expects revenue growth rate plus adjusted EBITDA margin, or the “Rule of 65”.

Challenges Ahead

  • Forward-looking adjusted EBITDA ranges, margins, and non-GAAP effective income tax rate have not been reconciled to net income due to uncertainty regarding depreciation and amortization, interest expense, taxes, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, and change in fair value of interest rate swap.
  • Forward-looking adjusted gross margin range has not been reconciled to GAAP gross margin due to uncertainty regarding cost of revenues, including non-cash stock-based compensation expense.
  • Reconciliations of the forward-looking adjusted EBITDA ranges to net income, the forward-looking adjusted EBITDA margins to net income margin, the forward-looking adjusted gross margin range to gross 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.
  • The company is unable to reconcile forward-looking adjusted EBITDA margin to net income margin without unreasonable effort.
  • The company is unable to reconcile the “Rule of 65” to a comparable GAAP measure without unreasonable effort.
