Forward guidance

Paycom provided financial guidance for the quarter ending September 30, 2022, and the year ending December 31, 2022.

Tailwinds

  • Total Revenues in the range of $327 million to $329 million for the quarter ending September 30, 2022.
  • Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $117 million to $119 million for the quarter ending September 30, 2022.
  • Total Revenues in the range of $1.354 billion to $1.356 billion for the year ending December 31, 2022.
  • Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $546 million to $548 million for the year ending December 31, 2022.
  • Management refers to a forward-looking estimate of implied revenue growth rate plus adjusted EBITDA margin, or the “Rule of 65.”

Headwinds

  • The forward-looking adjusted EBITDA ranges presented above have not been reconciled to net income.
  • The forward-looking adjusted EBITDA margins discussed on the teleconference call have not been reconciled to net income margin.
  • Applicable information for future periods, on which these reconciliations would be based, is not readily available due to uncertainty regarding depreciation and amortization, interest expense, taxes, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, change in fair value of our interest rate swap and other items.
  • The forward-looking adjusted gross margin range discussed on the teleconference call has not been reconciled to GAAP gross margin.
  • Because management is unable to reconcile forward-looking adjusted EBITDA margin to net income margin without unreasonable effort, they are unable to reconcile the “Rule of 65” to a comparable GAAP measure without unreasonable effort.
