Paycom Software Reports 39.3% Revenue Growth in the Second Quarter 2014

Paycom Software, Inc. (“Paycom”) (NYSE:PAYC), a leading provider of a comprehensive cloud-based human capital management software solution, today announced its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2014.

“Our efforts to capture share of the Human Capital Management sector are paying off,” said Chad Richison, President and Chief Executive Officer of Paycom. “Our second quarter results were highlighted by revenue growth of 39.3% over the second quarter last year, and adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2014 representing 18.2% of total revenues. I am very pleased with the traction that we are seeing with recent major new application launches and new application enhancements. Our footprint continues to grow, evidenced by the addition of five new sales offices in the first half of 2014. We look forward to the opportunities these new sales teams will afford Paycom in the coming months.”

Financial Highlights for the Second Quarter of 2014

Total Revenues of $33.3 million increased 39.3% compared to $23.9 million in the same period last year, primarily due to the addition of clients in mature sales offices. Recurring revenues of $32.7 million also increased 39.6% from the comparable prior year period, and comprised 98.2% of total revenues.

GAAP Net Income (Loss) was ($0.6) million, or ($0.01) per diluted share, compared to $0.4 million, or $0.01 per diluted share in the same period last year. The GAAP net loss for the second quarter of 2014 was due to a one-time charge of $4.0 million to retire related-party debt from the proceeds of our initial public offering (“IPO”).

Adjusted EBITDA¹ was $6.1 million, compared to $4.4 million in the same period last year.

Non-GAAP Net Income¹ was $2.1 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared to $0.5 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, in the same period last year.

Annualized New Recurring Revenue (“ANRR”) was $11.5 million, up from $8.3 million for the same period last year.

Cash and Cash Equivalents were $14.0 million as of June 30, 2014.

Total Debt was $27.4 million as of June 30, 2014. This debt consisted of debt on the corporate headquarters. Paycom used net proceeds from its IPO and existing cash in April to retire $65.0 million of outstanding debt.

¹ Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income 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.

Business Highlights for the Second Quarter of 2014

Total Sales Teams and Offices consist of 31 sales teams in 30 offices. Paycom currently has a sales office in 25 of the 50 largest Metropolitan Statistical Areas (“MSAs”) in the United States.

Application Launches included Paycom Push Reporting, a new capability that will increase the quality, speed and efficiency with which human resource executives can populate, produce and analyze employee data generated reports. With Push Reporting companies can pull very complex reports in a very simple way.

Initial Public Offering – On April 21, 2014, Paycom successfully completed an initial public offering whereby an aggregate of 7,641,750 shares, including 4,606,882 primary shares generated net proceeds of approximately $64.3 million to Paycom. Concurrent with the IPO, Paycom retired $65.0 million of outstanding debt.

“With the completion of our IPO now behind us, and with the recent record number of office and application launches, we believe we are very well positioned to deliver rapid growth” continued Mr. Richison. “We remain squarely focused delivering robust technology solutions across our HCM suite, and expanding our national sales footprint into the significant ‘whitespace’ opportunity that remains untapped. Our outlook reflects our confidence in our ability to execute against our strategic approach of transforming the payroll and human resources industry. Paycom is a SaaS HCM provider that offers a single-database platform for the entire employment life cycle, a key differentiator that sets us apart.”

Financial Outlook

Paycom provides the following expected financial guidance for the quarter ending September 30, 2014, and year ending December 31, 2014:

Third Quarter 2014

Total Revenues in the range of $34 million to $35 million.

Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $4.5 million to $5.5 million.

Fiscal Year 2014

Total Revenues in the range of $143 million to $145 million.

Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $22 million to $24 million.

We have not reconciled the Adjusted EBITDA range for the quarter ending September 30, 2014 or the year ending December 31, 2014 to net income (loss) because applicable information for future periods, on which this reconciliation is based, is not readily available due to uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, taxes, stock-based compensation expense and other items. Accordingly, a reconciliation of these Adjusted EBITDA ranges to net income 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 consider and have included certain non-GAAP financial measures in this press release, including EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income. We use earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income, as supplemental measures to review and assess our performance and planning purposes. We define: (i) EBITDA as net income, plus interest expense, taxes and depreciation and amortization, (ii) Adjusted EBITDA as net income, plus interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, net loss on early extinguishment of debt and certain transaction expenses that are not core to our operations and (iii) non-GAAP net income as pro forma net income plus tax adjusted stock-based compensation expense, tax adjusted net loss on early extinguishment of debt and certain tax adjusted transaction expenses that are not core to our operations. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income are metrics that we believe are useful to investors in evaluating our performance and facilitating comparison with other peer companies, many of which use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement results under GAAP.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income are not measures of financial performance under GAAP, and should not be considered a substitute for net income (loss) or pro forma net income (loss), as applicable, which we consider to be the most directly comparable GAAP measures. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income have limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing our operating performance, you should not consider EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income in isolation, or as a substitute for “Net income (loss),” “Pro forma net income (loss)” or other Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income data prepared in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income may not be comparable to similar titled measures of other companies and other companies may not calculate such measures in the same manner as we do.
