OKLAHOMA CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Paycom Software, Inc. (“Paycom”) (NYSE: PAYC), a leading provider of comprehensive, cloud-based human capital management software, today announced its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2019.

“The digital transformation of our industry is rapidly changing the relationship employees have with their human capital management systems and Paycom is leading the way with innovative, consumer-friendly solutions,” said Paycom’s founder and CEO, Chad Richison. “Our strong results in the second quarter reflect the powerful impact that innovations like Direct Data ExchangeTM and our employee usage initiatives are having on our growth. With the momentum we are carrying into the second half, I am very pleased we can again raise our outlook for the year.”

Financial Highlights for the Second Quarter of 2019

Total Revenues of $169.3 million represented a 31% increase compared to total revenues of $128.8 million in the same period last year. Recurring revenues of $166.0 million also increased 31% from the comparable prior year period, and constituted 98% of total revenues.

GAAP Net Income was $48.8 million, or $0.83 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net income of $35.7 million, or $0.61 per diluted share, in the same period last year.

Non-GAAP Net Income1 was $43.7 million, or $0.75 per diluted share, compared to $34.8 million, or $0.59 per diluted share, in the same period last year.

Adjusted EBITDA1 was $69.4 million, compared to $53.5 million in the same period last year.

Cash and Cash Equivalents were $94.8 million as of June 30, 2019, compared to $45.7 million as of December 31, 2018.

Total Debt, Net was $33.5 million as of June 30, 2019, compared to $34.4 million as of December 31, 2018.

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 for additional information concerning these and other non-GAAP financial measures.

Financial Outlook

Paycom provides the following expected financial guidance for the quarter ending September 30, 2019 and the year ending December 31, 2019:

Quarter Ending September 30, 2019

Total Revenues in the range of $170.0 million to $172.0 million.

Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $61.0 million to $63.0 million.

Year Ending December 31, 2019

Total Revenues in the range of $728.0 million to $730.0 million.

Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $306.0 million to $308.0 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 discussed on the teleconference call to a comparable GAAP measure, 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, change in fair value of our interest rate swap and other items. Further, we have not reconciled the forward-looking adjusted gross margin range discussed on the teleconference call to GAAP gross margin because applicable information for future periods, on which this reconciliation would be based, is not readily available due to uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, cost of revenues, including non-cash stock-based compensation expense. Accordingly, reconciliations of these adjusted EBITDA ranges to net income, the adjusted EBITDA margins to a comparable GAAP measure and the adjusted gross margin range to gross margin 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 administrative expenses, adjusted research and development expenses and adjusted research and development costs. 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 the change in fair value of our interest rate swap, (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 the change in fair value of our interest rate swap, 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 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) and (vii) adjusted EBITDA margin as adjusted EBITDA (calculated as described in clause (i)) divided by total revenues. 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, 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 and research and development costs. 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 similar titled measures of other companies and other companies may not calculate such measures in the same manner as we do.
