INDUSTRY REGULATION

Our business is subject to a wide range of complex U.S. and foreign laws and regulations. In addition, many of our products and servicessolutions are designed to assist clients with their compliance with certain U.S. and foreign laws and regulations that apply to which they are subject.them. We have, developed and continue to enhance, compliance programs and policies to monitor and address the legal and regulatory requirements applicable to our products, services,operations and operations,client solutions, including dedicated compliance personnel and training programs.

As one of the world'sworld’s largest providers of businessHR outsourcing solutions, our systems contain a significant amount of both sensitive client data and data related to clients, employees of our clients.clients, vendors and our employees. We are, therefore, subject to compliance obligations under both federal, state and stateforeign privacy and data security-related laws, including with respect to some of our businesses such as our COBRA, flexible spending accountfederal, state and insurance services businesses, ADP AdvancedMD® and ADP TotalSource®, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996. We are also subject to federal and stateforeign security breach notification laws with respect to both our own employee data and client employee data. Additionally, theThe changing nature of privacy laws in the United States, Europe and elsewhere, including the adoption by the European Union and elsewhere couldof the General Data Protection Regulation (the "GDPR"), will impact our processing of personal information of our employees and on behalf of our clients.

In addition, in the United States, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 applies to our insurance services businesses and ADP TotalSource.
As part of our payroll and payroll tax management services, we move client funds to taxing authorities and our clients'clients’ employees via electronic transfer, direct deposit, prepaid access and ADPCheck. Certain elements of our U.S. money transmission activities, including our electronic payment and prepaid access (payroll pay card) offerings, are subject to certain licensing requirements. In addition, our U.S. prepaid access offering is subject to the anti-money laundering and reporting provisions of The Bank Secrecy Act of 1970, as amended by the USA PATRIOT Act of 2000 (the “BSA”). Elements of our money transmission activities outside of the United States are subject to similar licensing and anti-money laundering and reporting laws and requirements in the countries in which we offerprovide such services. In addition, our U.S. prepaid access (payroll card) offering is subject to the anti-money laundering and reporting provisions of the Bank Secrecy Act. Our employee screening and selection services business offers background checking services that are subject to the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Our PEO business (ADP TotalSource)ADP TotalSource is subject to various state licensing requirements. In addition, becauserequirements and maintains certifications with the Internal Revenue Service. Because ADP TotalSource is a co-employer with respect to its clients'clients’ worksite employees, we may assumebe subject to certain obligations and responsibilities of an employer under federal and state tax, insurance and employment laws.

In 2016, the U.S. Department of Labor issued a rule which treats ADP Retirement Services as a “fiduciary” for purposes of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and the Internal Revenue Code in connection with certain services it provides. As a result, we have formed a registered investment adviser under the Advisers Act that will provide certain investment management and advisory services under a heightened “fiduciary” standard and will be regulated as an investment adviser by the SEC.
In addition, many of our businesses offer products and servicessolutions that assist our clients in complying with certain U.S. and foreign laws and regulations that apply to which they are subject; although thethem. Although these laws and regulations apply to our clients and not to ADP, changes in such laws or regulations may affect our operations, products and services. For example, our payroll services are designed to facilitate compliance with state laws and regulations applicable to the payment of wages. In addition, our HCM solutions help clients manage their compliance with certain requirements of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Our COBRA administration services and flexible spending account services are designed to comply with relevant federal guidelines relating to, respectively, employers' benefits continuation obligations andAct in the requirements of Section 125 of the Internal Revenue Code.United States.

CLIENTS AND CLIENT CONTRACTS

ADP provides its services to approximately 637,000700,000 clients. In fiscal 2014,2017, no single client or group of affiliated clients accounted for revenues in excess of 2% of ADP’s annual consolidated revenues.

ADP is continuously in the process of performing implementation services for new clients. Depending on the service agreement and/or the size of the client, the installation or conversion period for new clients couldcan vary from a short period of time for a small Employer Services client (as little as 24 hours) to a longer period for a large Employer Services client or a Dealer Services client with multiple deliverables (generally six to twelve months), and in. In some cases, the period may exceed two years for a large GlobalView client or other large, complicated implementation. Although we monitor sales that have not yet been billed or installed, we do not view this metric as material to an understanding of our overall business in light of the recurring nature of our business. This metric is not a reported number, but it is used by management as a planning tool relating to allocate resources needed to install services, and as a means of assessing our performance against the installation timing expectations of our clients.

In addition, some of our products and services are sold under longer term contracts with initial terms ranging from two to seven years. However, this anticipated future revenue under contract is not a significant portion of ADP’s expected future revenue, is not a meaningful indicator of our future performance and is not used by management internally to estimate ADP’s future revenue.
Our business is typically characterized by long-term client relationships that result in recurring revenue. Our services are provided under written price quotations or service agreements having varying terms and conditions. No one price quotation or service agreement is material to ADP. ADP'sADP’s client retention is estimated at approximately 1210 years in Employer Services, and approximately 7 years in PEO Services, and approximately 12 years in Dealer Services, and has not varied significantly from period to period.

ADP continually upgrades, enhances, and expands its solutions and services. In general, new solutions and services supplement rather than replace our existing solutions and services and, given our recurring revenue model, do not have a material and immediate effect on ADP's revenues. ADP believes that our strategic solutions and services have significant remaining life cycles.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
Our businesses routinely encounter and address risks, some of which may cause our future results to be different than we currently anticipate. Risk factors described below represent our current view of some of the most important risks facing our businesses and are important to understanding our business. The following information should be read in conjunction with Management'sManagement’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk and the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. This discussion includes a number of forward-looking statements. You should refer to the description of the qualifications and limitations on forward-looking statements in the first paragraph under Management'sManagement’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The level of

importance of each of the following risks may vary from time to time, and any of these risks may have a material effect on our business.
ChangesFailure to comply with, or changes in, laws and regulations may decreaseapplicable to our revenues and earningsbusinesses could have a materially adverse effect on our reputation, results of operations or financial condition, or have other adverse consequences
Our business is subject to a wide range of complex U.S. and foreign laws and regulations. Changesregulations, including, but not limited to, the laws and regulations described in the “Industry Regulation” section in Part I, Item 1 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Failure to comply with laws and regulations applicable to our operations or client solutions could result in the suspension or revocation of licenses or registrations, the limitation, suspension or termination of services, and the imposition of consent orders or civil and criminal penalties, including fines, that could damage our reputation and have a materially adverse effect on our results of operation or financial condition.
In addition, changes in laws or governmental regulations, or changes in the interpretation of existing laws or regulations by a regulatory authority, may decrease our revenues and earnings and may require us to change the manner in which we conduct some aspects of our business.  For example, a change in regulations either decreasing the amount of taxes to be withheld or allowing less time to remit taxes to government authorities would adversely impact average client balances and, thereby adversely impact interest income from investing client funds before such funds are remitted to the applicable taxing authorities or client employees.authorities.  Changes in taxation requirements in the United States or in other countriesregulations could adversely affect our effective tax rate and our net income.  Changes in laws that govern the co-employment arrangement between a professional employer organization and its worksite employees may require us to change the manner in which we conduct some aspects of our PEO business.  Health care reform under the Affordable Care Act, as amended, related state laws, and the regulations adopted or to be adopted thereunder, as well as pending federal health care legislation, have the potential to substantially impact substantially the way that employers provide health insurance to employees and the health insurance market for our PEO business, as well as the small and midsized businesses that comprise ADP TotalSource's clients and prospects.demand for our health care compliance solutions.  We are unable to determine the ultimate impact that health care reform, including the pending federal health care legislation, will have on our PEO business and our ability to attract and retain PEO clients. clients or demand for our health care compliance solutions.
Amendments to money transmitter statutes have required us to receiveobtain licenses in some jurisdictions, and thejurisdictions. The adoption of new money transmitter statutes in other jurisdictions, as well as changes in theregulators’ interpretation of existing state and federal money transmitter or money services business statutes in the futureor regulations, or disagreement by a regulatory authority with our interpretation of such existing statutes or regulations, could require additional registration or licensing, as well as possiblelimit certain of our business activities until they are appropriately licensed, and expose us to financial penalties. These occurrences could also require changes to the manner in which we conduct some aspects of our money movement business or our client funds investment strategy.strategy, which could adversely impact interest income from investing client funds before such funds are remitted.
Failure to comply with anti-corruption laws and regulations, anti-money laundering laws and regulations, economic and trade sanctions, and similar laws could have a materially adverse effect on our reputation, results of operations or financial condition, or have other adverse consequences
Regulators worldwide are exercising heightened scrutiny with respect to anti-corruption, economic and trade sanctions, and anti-money laundering laws and regulations. Such heightened scrutiny has resulted in more aggressive investigations and enforcement of such laws and more burdensome regulations, any of which which could adversely impact our business.  We operate our business around the world, including in numerous developing economies where companies and government officials are more likely to engage in business practices that are prohibited by domestic and foreign laws and regulations, including the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the “FCPA”) and the U.K. Bribery Act. Such laws generally prohibit improper payments or offers of payments to foreign government officials and leaders of political parties, and in some cases, to other persons, for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. We are also subject to economic and trade sanctions programs, including those administered by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), which prohibit or restrict transactions or dealings with specified countries, their governments, and in certain circumstances, their nationals, and with individuals and entities that are specially designated, including narcotics traffickers and terrorists or terrorist organizations, among others.  In addition, some of our businesses in the U.S. and a number of countries in which we operate are subject to anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including, for example, The Bank Secrecy Act of 1970, as amended by the USA PATRIOT Act of 2000 (the “BSA”). Among other things, the BSA requires certain financial institutions, including banks and money services businesses (such as money transmitters and providers of prepaid access), to develop and implement risk-based anti-money laundering programs, report large cash transactions and suspicious activity, and maintain transaction records. We have registered our payroll card business with the Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (“FinCEN”) as a provider of prepaid access pursuant to a FinCEN regulation. 
We have implemented policies and procedures to monitor and address compliance with applicable anti-corruption, economic and trade sanctions and anti-money laundering laws and regulations, and we are continuously in the process of

reviewing, upgrading and enhancing certain of our policies and procedures. However, there can be no assurance that our employees, consultants or agents will not take actions in violation of our policies for which we may be ultimately responsible, or that our policies and procedures will be adequate or will be determined to be adequate by regulators.  Any violations of applicable anti-corruption, economic and trade sanctions or anti-money laundering laws or regulations could limit certain of our business activities until they are satisfactorily remediated and could result in civil and criminal penalties, including fines, that could damage our reputation and have a materially adverse effect on our results of operation or financial condition. Further, bank regulators are imposing additional and stricter requirements on banks to ensure they are meeting their BSA obligations, and banks are increasingly viewing money services businesses, as a class, to be higher risk customers for money laundering. As a result, our banking partners may limit the scope of services they provide to us or may impose additional requirements on us. These regulatory restrictions on banks and changes to banks’ internal risk-based policies and procedures may result in a decrease in the number of banks that may do business with us, may require us to change the manner in which we conduct some aspects of our business, may decrease our revenues and earnings and could have a materially adverse effect on our results of operation or financial condition.
Failure to comply with data privacy laws and regulations could have a materially adverse effect on our reputation, results of operations or financial condition, or have other adverse consequences
The collection, hosting, transfer, disclosure, use, storage and security of personal information required to provide our services is subject to federal, state and foreign data privacy laws. These laws, which are not uniform, do one or more of the following: regulate the collection, transfer (including in some cases, the transfer outside the country of collection), processing, storage, use and disclosure of personal information; require notice to individuals of privacy practices; give individuals certain access and correction rights with respect to their personal information; and prevent the use or disclosure of personal information for secondary purposes such as marketing. Under certain circumstances, some of these laws require us to provide notification to affected individuals, data protection authorities and/or other regulators in the event of a data breach. In many cases, these laws apply not only to third-party transactions, but also to transfers of information among the Company and its subsidiaries. In addition, the European Union adopted the comprehensive General Data Privacy Regulation (the “GDPR”) in May 2016 that will replace the current EU Data Protection Directive and related country-specific legislation. The GDPR will become fully effective in May 2018. Complying with the enhanced obligations imposed by the GDPR may result in significant costs to our business and require us to amend certain of our business practices. Further, enforcement actions and investigations by regulatory authorities related to data security incidents and privacy violations continue to increase. The future enactment of more restrictive laws, rules or regulations and/or future enforcement actions or investigations could have a materially adverse impact on us through increased costs or restrictions on our businesses and noncompliance could result in regulatory penalties and significant legal liability.
Our businesses collect, host, collect,transfer, disclose, use, store and storesecure personal information about our clients and employees of our clients,business information, and a security or privacy breach may damage or disrupt our businesses, result in the disclosure of confidential information, damage our reputation, increase our costs and cause losses
A number ofIn connection with our businessesbusiness, we collect, host, collect,transfer, disclose, use, store and storesecure large amounts of personal and business information about our clients, and employees of our clients, our vendors and our employees, contractors and temporary staff, including payroll information, healthcarehealth care information, personal and business financial data, social security numbers and their foreign equivalents, bank account numbers, tax information and other sensitive personal and business information. In addition, we collect and maintain personal information of our employees in the ordinary course of our business.
We are focused on ensuring our operating environmentsthat we safeguard and protect personal and business information, and although we believe that wedevote significant resources to maintain a robust program of information security and controlsregularly update our systems and none of the threats that we have encountered to date have materially impacted us, the impact of a breach could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We are also subject to various laws, rules and regulations relating to the collection, use and security of personal and business information. The future enactment of more restrictive laws, rules or regulations could have an adverse impact on us through increased costs or restrictions on our businesses. In addition, the possession and use of personal information and data in conducting our business subjects us to laws that may require notification to clients or employees of a privacy breach.
Globally,processes. Nonetheless, globally, attacks on information technology systems continue to grow in frequency, complexity and sophistication.sophistication, and we are regularly targeted by unauthorized parties using malicious tactics, code and viruses. Although this is a global problem, it may affect our businesses more than other businesses because malevolent third parties may focus on the amount and type of personal and business information that our businesses collect, host, collect, use, transmit and store.
We have programs in place to prevent, detect and respond to data security incidents. However, because the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access, disable or degrade service, or sabotage systems change frequently, are increasingly more complex and sophisticated and may be difficult to detect for long periods of time, we may be unable or fail to anticipate these techniques or implement adequate or timely preventive or responsive measures. In addition, hardware, software or applications we develop or procure from third parties may contain defects in design or manufacture or other problems that could compromise the confidentiality, integrity or availability of data or our systems. Unauthorized parties may also attempt to gain access to our systems or facilities, or those of third parties with whom we do business, through fraud, trickery, or other methods of deceiving these third parties or our employees, contractors, and temporary staff. As these threats continue to evolve and

increase, we may be required to invest significant additional resources to modify and enhance our information security and controls and to investigate and remediate any security vulnerabilities. In addition, while our operating environments are designed to safeguard and protect personal and business information, we do not have the ability to monitor the implementation or effectiveness of any safeguards by our clients or vendors, and, in any event, third parties may be able to circumvent those security measures.
Any cyber attack, unauthorized intrusion, malicious software infiltration, network disruption, denial of service, corruption of data, or theft of non-public or other sensitive information, or similar act by a malevolent party, or inadvertent acts or inactions by our employees, contractors or temporary staff, could result in the disclosure or misuse of confidential personal or business information, and could have a materially adverse effect on our business operations, or that of our clients, create financial liability, regulatory sanction or a loss of confidence in our ability to serve clients, or cause current or potential clients to choose another service provider.

Our systems may be subject to disruptions that could adversely affecthave a materially adverse effect on our business and reputation
Many of our businesses are highly dependent on our ability to process, on a daily basis, a large number of complicated transactions. We rely heavily on our payroll, financial, accounting, and other data processing systems. If any of these systems fails to operate properly or becomes disabled even for a brief period of time, we could suffer financial loss, a disruption of our businesses, liability to clients, loss of clients, regulatory intervention, or damage to our reputation.reputation, any of which could have a materially adverse effect on our results of operation or financial condition. We have disaster recovery, business continuity, and crisis management plans and procedures designed to protect our businesses against a multitude of events, including natural disasters, military or terrorist actions, power or communication failures, or similar events. Despite our preparations, our plans may not be successful in preventing or mitigating the loss of client data, service interruptions, disruptions to our operations, or damage to our important facilities.
A disruption of our data centers could have a materially adverse effect on our business
We host our applications and serve our clients from data centers that we operate and from data centers operated by third-party vendors. If any of our or our third party vendors' data centers fail or become disabled, even for a limited period of time, our businesses could be disrupted and we could suffer financial loss, liability to clients, loss of clients, regulatory intervention, or damage to our reputation, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operation or financial condition. In addition, our third party vendors may cease providing data center facilities or services, elect to not renew their agreements with us on commercially reasonable terms or at all, breach their agreements with us or fail to satisfy our expectations, which could disrupt our operations and require us to incur costs which could materially adversely affect our results of operation or financial condition.
If we fail to adapt our technology and services to meet client needs and preferences, the demand for our solutions and services may diminish
Our businesses operate in industries that are subject to rapid technological advances and changing client needs and preferences. In order to remain competitive and responsive to client demands, we continually upgrade, enhance, and expand our existing solutions and services. If we fail to respond successfully to technology challenges and client needs and preferences, the demand for our solutions and services may diminish.
Political and economic factors may adversely affect our business and financial results
Trade, monetary and fiscal policies, and political and economic conditions may substantially change, and credit markets may experience periods of constriction and volatility. When there is a slowdown in the economy, employment levels and interest rates may decrease with a corresponding impact on our businesses. Clients may react to worsening conditions by reducing their spending on payroll and other outsourcing services or renegotiating their contracts with us. In addition, a reduction in availability of financing during such conditions, even to borrowers with the highest credit ratings,us, which may limitadversely affect our access to short-term debt markets to meet liquidity needs required by our Employer Services business.business and financial results.

We invest our client funds in liquid, investment-grade marketable securities, money market securities, and other cash equivalents. Nevertheless, our client fund assets are subject to general market, interest rate, credit, and liquidity risks. These risks may be exacerbated, individually or in unison, during periods of unusual financial market volatility. In addition, as part of our client funds investment strategy, we extend the maturities of our investment portfolio for client funds and utilize short-term financing arrangements to satisfy our short-term funding requirements related to client funds obligations. In order to satisfy these short-term funding requirements, we maintain access to various sources of liquidity, including borrowings under our commercial paper program and our committed credit facilities, our ability to execute reverse repurchase transactions and corporate cash balances. A reduction in the availability of any such financing during periods of disruption in the financial markets or otherwise may require us to sell client fund assets to satisfy our short-term funding requirements, which may result in the recognition of losses and adversely impact our results of operations, financial condition and cash flow.
We are dependent upon various large banks to execute Automated Clearing Houseelectronic payments and wire transfers as part of our client payroll, tax and taxother money movement services. While we have contingency plans in place for bank failures, a systemic shutdown of the banking industry would impede our ability to process funds on behalf of our payroll, tax and taxother money movement services clients and could have an adverse impact on our financial results and liquidity.
We derive a significant portion of our revenues and operating income outside of the United States and, as a result, we are exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates that could impact our consolidated results of operations, financial position orand cash flows.
Our business could be negatively impacted as a result of actions by activist stockholders or others
We may be subject to actions or proposals from activist stockholders or others that may not align with our business strategies or the interests of our other stockholders. Responding to such actions could be costly and time-consuming, disrupt our business and operations, and divert the attention of our Board of Directors and senior management from the pursuit of our business strategies. Activist stockholders may create perceived uncertainties as to the future direction of our business or strategy which may be exploited by our competitors and may make it more difficult to attract and retain qualified personnel, potential customers and business partners and may affect our relationships with current customers, vendors, investors and other third parties. In addition, actions of activist stockholders may cause periods of fluctuation in our stock price based on temporary or speculative market perceptions or other factors that do not necessarily reflect the underlying fundamentals and prospects of our business.
Change in our credit ratings could adversely impact our operations and lower our profitability
The major credit rating agencies periodically evaluate our creditworthiness and have given us very strong, investment-grade long-term debt ratings and the highest commercial paper ratings. Failure to maintain high credit ratings on long-term and short-term debt could increase our cost of borrowing, reduce our ability to obtain intra-day borrowing required by our Employer Services business, and ultimately reduceadversely impact our client interest revenue.results of operations.
Our proposed spin-offIf the distribution of ourCDK Global® common stock to ADP’s stockholders does not qualify as a tax-free spinoff, we could incur substantial liabilities and may not be fully indemnified for such liabilities
On September 30, 2014, the Company completed the tax-free spinoff of its former Dealer Services business is subjectthrough the distribution of all of the issued and outstanding common stock of CDK Global, Inc. (“CDK Global”) to inherent risks
The proposed spin-off of ourADP’s stockholders. CDK Global was formed to hold ADP’s former Dealer Services business and, as a result of the distribution, became an independent public company trading under the symbol “CDK” on the NASDAQ Global Select Market. Prior to completing the spinoff of CDK Global, ADP received an opinion from Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP, its counsel, to the effect that, based on certain facts, assumptions, representations and undertakings set forth in the opinion, the distribution qualified as a transaction that is subjecttax-free under Section 355 and other related provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. ADP also received a private letter ruling from the IRS with respect to inherent riskscertain discrete and uncertainties including, among others: riskssignificant issues arising in connection with the transactions effected in connection with the separation and distribution. The opinion and the ruling were based upon various factual representations and assumptions, as well as certain undertakings made by ADP and CDK Global. If any of those factual representations or assumptions was untrue or incomplete in any material respect, any undertaking is not complied with, or the facts upon which the opinion and the ruling were based were materially different from the facts at the time of the distribution, the distribution may not qualify for tax-free treatment. Although a private letter ruling from the IRS generally is binding on the IRS, the IRS did not rule that the spin-off willdistribution satisfies every requirement for a tax-free distribution. Opinions of counsel are not binding on the IRS or the courts. As a result, the conclusions expressed in an opinion of counsel could be consummated; increased demands on our management teamchallenged by the IRS, and if the IRS prevails in such challenge, the tax consequences to accomplishADP’s stockholders that received CDK Global common stock pursuant to the spin-off;distribution could be materially less favorable.

If the distribution were determined not to qualify as a tax-free transaction under Section 355 of the Code, each United States holder of ADP common stock that received CDK Global common stock pursuant to the distribution generally would be treated as receiving a distribution taxable as a dividend in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares of CDK Global common stock received by such holder. In addition, ADP generally would recognize gain with respect to the distribution and certain related transactions, and CDK Global could be required to indemnify ADP for any resulting taxes and related expenses, which could be material. The distribution and certain related transactions could be taxable to ADP if CDK Global or its stockholders were to engage in certain transactions after the distribution. In such cases, ADP or its stockholders that received CDK Global common stock pursuant to the spinoff could incur significant transaction costsU.S. federal income tax liabilities, and risks from changes in the results of operations of our reportable segments.CDK Global could be required to indemnify ADP for any resulting taxes and related expenses, which could be material. CDK Global may be unable to indemnify us fully for any such taxes and related expenses.
We may be unable to attract and retain qualified personnel
Our ability to grow and provide our clients with competitive services is partially dependent on our ability to attract and retain highly motivated people with the skills to serve our clients. Competition for skilled employees in the outsourcing and other markets in which we operate is intense and, if we are unable to attract and retain highly skilled and motivated personnel, results of our operations may suffer.

Note 1.(A) Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The following table reconcilesIn addition to our GAAP results, within our Selected Financial Data towe use the adjusted results that exclude incremental costs incurred duringand other non-GAAP metrics set forth in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 ("fiscal 2014") that are directly attributable to the planned separation of our Dealer Services business, a goodwill impairment charge related to our ADP AdvancedMD business for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 ("fiscal 2013"), a gain on the sale of assets related to rights and obligations to resell a third-party expense management platform for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 ("fiscal 2012"), and certain favorable tax items for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. We use certain adjusted results, among other measures,table below to evaluate our operating performance in the absence of certain items and for planning and forecasting of future periods.periods:

We believe that the exclusion of the identified items helps us reflect the fundamentals of our underlying business model and analyze results against our expectations, against prior period, and to plan for future periods by focusing on our underlying operations.  We believe that the adjusted results provide relevant and useful information for investors because it allows investors to view performance in a manner similar to the method used by usmanagement and improves ourtheir ability to understand and assess our operating performance.  The nature of these exclusions are for specific items that are not fundamental to our underlying business operations. Since these adjusted earnings from continuing operations before income taxes, adjusted net earnings from continuing operations,financial measures and adjusted diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) from continuing operationsother non-GAAP metrics are not measures of performance calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”),GAAP, they should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, earnings from continuing operations before income taxes, net earnings from continuing operations, and diluted EPS from continuing operations,or superior to their U.S. GAAP measures, and they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed byat other companies.

Note 2. Return(a) We continue to include the interest income earned on equity from continuinginvestments associated with our client funds extended investment strategy and interest expense on borrowings related to our client funds extended investment strategy as we believe these amounts to be fundamental to the underlying operations hasof our business model. The adjustments in the table above represent the interest income and interest expense that is not related to our client funds extended investment strategy and are labeled as "All other interest expense" and "All other interest income."

(b) The majority of charges relating to our Service Alignment Initiative and Workforce Optimization Effort represent severance charges. Severance charges have been taken in the past and not included as an adjustment to get to adjusted results. Unlike severance charges in prior periods, these specific charges relate to our broad-based, company-wide Service Alignment Initiative and Workforce Optimization Effort. The fiscal 2017 Workforce Optimization Effort adjustment totaling approximately $5 million represents a reversal of the fiscal 2016 estimate.

(c) The taxes on the gains on the sale of the businesses were calculated based on the annualized marginal rate in effect during the quarter of the adjustment. The tax amount was adjusted for a book vs. tax basis difference for the year ended June 30, 2017 due to the derecognition of goodwill upon the sale of the business and for the year ended June 30, 2016 due to a previously recorded non tax-deductible goodwill impairment charge.



(d) The tax benefit/provision on the Service Alignment Initiative, Workforce Optimization Effort, and the gain on the sale of the building was calculated based on the annualized marginal rate in effect during the quarter of the adjustment.

(e) The Adjusted effective tax rate is calculated as our Adjusted provision for income taxes divided by our Adjusted net earnings from continuing operations divided by average total stockholders' equity. Our ROEplus our Adjusted provision for fiscal 2014 includes incremental costs incurredincome taxes.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

    On April 10, 2014, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a plan to separate our Dealer Services business into an independent publicly traded company through a tax-free spin-off of 100% of Dealer Services to ADP shareholders. We expect to receive at least $700 million in connection with the spin-off, which we plan to return to our shareholders after the spin-off through share repurchases, depending upon market conditions. Following the spin-off, we intend to increase the dividend annually, subject to Board of Director approval, keeping intact our 39-year track record of consecutive dividend increases. However, we expect to grow the dividend at a slower rate than earnings to allow us to return to our pre-separation target dividend payout ratio of 55% to 60% in about two years. We believe that the separationare one of the Dealer Serviceslargest providers of cloud-based Human Capital Management ("HCM") solutions - including payroll, talent management, Human Resources and benefits administration, and time and attendance management - to employers around the world. As a leader in this industry, we are focused on driving product innovation, enhancing our distribution and service capabilities, and assisting our clients with their HCM needs in the face of ever increasing regulatory complexity.

Highlights from the year ended June 30, 2017 ("fiscal 2017") include:

Worldwide new business will allow both companiesbookings declined 5% from the year ended June 30, 2016 ("fiscal 2016") to $1.65 billion for fiscal 2017.
Revenue grew 6% which includes one percentage point of combined pressure from the sale of our COBRA and CHSA businesses and foreign currency translation.
Pre-tax margin increased approximately 130 basis points to 20.4%; Adjusted EBIT margin increased 30 basis points to 19.8%.
Net earnings from continuing operations increased 16%; Adjusted net earnings from continuing operations grew 11%.
Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations increased 18% to $3.85. Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations increased 13% to $3.70.
We continued our shareholder friendly actions by returning $1.3 billion via share repurchases, and approximately $1 billion via dividends, which increased on a per-share basis for the 42nd consecutive year. We have fully distributed the proceeds from our fiscal 2016 debt issuance.



During fiscal 2017, we continued to focus on their respective businesses, industries,our global HCM strategy by investing to strengthen our underlying business model and strategic opportunitiesprospects for sustainable long-term growth.

service. Our results duringin fiscal 2014 continue to2017 reflect the strengthstability of our underlying business model includingand our disciplined strategy for profitable growth while maintaining our focus on shareholder friendly actions.

Our new business bookings were down 5% during fiscal 2017, as compared to fiscal 2016, due to high demand in fiscal 2016 for our solutions that assist our clients in complying with the diversityAffordable Care Act ("ACA"). We remain optimistic of our ability to deliver innovative and competitive products, as well as our sales force's ability to distribute our products heading into the year ending June 30, 2018 ("fiscal 2018").

The causes of our client baselosses and products.resulting impact on our revenue retention continue to be a point of internal focus. Our Employer Services revenue retention was down 50 basis points during fiscal 2017 as compared to fiscal 2016 primarily due to lower retention on our legacy client platforms coupled with the anticipated loss of a large client within our former CHSA business at the beginning of the fiscal year. We are seeing strong retention on our strategic platforms. We continue to upgrade our clients from legacy platforms to our new cloud-based solutions and focus on product innovation and improvements in salesforce productivity led to growth in new business bookings.improving the client experience. We are pleased with the performancebelieve upgrading our clients from legacy platforms is an important aspect of our business segments, which have continuedlong-term strategy, giving our clients our most innovative and seamless products.

Our implementation team's ability to drive goodimplement our services as well as our sales force's ability to sell to clients and prospects drove revenue growth and pretax margin expansion. Revenue retention improved across our business segments and we continue to benefitduring fiscal 2017. Our revenue growth also benefited from the strength ofcontinued increase in our pays per control metric, which representswe measure as the number of employees on our clients' payrolls as measured on a same-store-sales basis utilizing a representative subset of payrolls ranging from small to large businesses that are reflective of a broad range of U.S. geographic regions.

During fiscal 2014,2017, we were impacted by the declineincurred $90.0 million in high-margincharges for a previously announced multi-year Service Alignment Initiative intended to align our client interest revenues as a resultservice operations to our strategic platforms. In connection with this Service Alignment Initiative, we anticipate incurring total pre-tax charges of lower interest rates, partially offset by an increase in our average client funds balance. We expect this high-margin client interest revenue to increaseabout $30 million in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2015, but at a slower rate than our underlying processing revenue.
Consolidated revenues in fiscal 2014 increased8%, to $12,206.5 million, as compared to fiscal 2013. Earnings from continuing operations before income taxes increased10%, to $2,274.6 million, as compared to fiscal 2013 and net earnings from continuing operations increased11%, to $1,502.6 million, as compared to fiscal 2013. Our diluted earnings per share from continuing operations increased 11% to $3.11 in fiscal 2014, as compared to $2.79 in fiscal 2013.
Our fiscal 2014 results include $14.9 million of incremental costs directly attributable to our planned separation of our Dealer Service business and our fiscal 2013 results include a $42.7 million non tax-deductible goodwill impairment charge related to our ADP AdvancedMD business. Excluding these items, our earnings from continuing operations before income taxes increased 8%, to $2,289.5 million, as compared to $2,118.8 million for fiscal 2013, and net earnings from continuing operations increased 8%, to $1,517.5 million, compared to $1,400.8 million for fiscal 2013. Our adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations increased 9%, to $3.14 for fiscal 2014 from $2.88, as adjusted, for fiscal 2013, due to increased adjusted net earnings from continuing operations and fewer shares outstanding.
Our business segment results were solid with Employer Services' revenues increasing 8% to $8,535.2 million and earnings from continuing operations before income taxes increasing 14% to $2,517.8 million, PEO Services' revenues increasing 15% to $2,270.9 million and earnings from continuing operations before income taxes increasing 17% to $234.3 million, and Dealer Services' revenues increasing 7% to $1,951.4 million and earnings from continuing operations before income taxes increasing 14% to $428.1 million in fiscal 2014. Employer Services' and PEO Services' new business bookings, which represent annualized recurring revenues anticipated from sales orders to new and existing clients, grew 7% worldwide, to over $1.4 billion in fiscal 2014. Dealer Services' new business bookings showed strength as we continued to experience the effects of a stronger automotive industry and increased penetration of applications within our base. Our key business metrics continue to reflect the core strength of our business model, with our Employer Services' worldwide client revenue retention rate increasing to an all-time high of 91.4% and our pays per control metric increased 2.8% for the twelve months ended June 30, 2014 from the twelve months ended June 30, 2013.2018.

InterestIn November 2016, we completed the sale of our Consumer Health Spending Account ("CHSA") and Consolidated Omnibus Reconciliation Act ("COBRA") businesses which resulted in a pre-tax gain of approximately $205 million.  This disposition, and subsequent partnership with the acquiring company, allows us to further sharpen our focus on funds held forour core capabilities while continuing to deliver a full suite of HCM solutions to current and future clients decreased approximately 11%, or $47.2 million, to $373.7 million from $420.9 millionin fiscal 2013.a seamless fashion. The decreasehistorical results of operations of this business are included in the consolidated interest on funds held for clients resulted from the decreaseEmployer Services segment. 

In January 2017, we acquired The Marcus Buckingham Company ("TMBC"). TMBC is a provider of talent management technology, coaching, and consulting solutions. The acquisition reflects our commitment to innovation and enhances our core HCM capabilities, allowing us to deepen our offering in this critical area of talent management. The results of operations of this business will be included in the average interest rate earned to 1.8% in fiscal 2014, as compared to 2.2% in fiscal 2013, partially offset by growth in average client funds balance of 8% resulting from the continued strength and growth of our Employer Services segment.

We invest our funds held for clients in accordance with ADP's prudent and conservative investment guidelines, where the safety of principal, liquidity, and diversification are the foremost objectives of our investment strategy. The portfolio is predominantly invested in AAA/AA rated fixed-income securities. Our client funds investment strategy is structured to allow us to average our way through an interest rate cycle by laddering the maturities of our investments out to five years (in the case of the extended portfolio) and out to ten years (in the case of the long portfolio).  This investment strategy is supported by our short-term financing arrangements necessary to satisfy short-term funding requirements relating to client funds obligations.
Our financial condition and balance sheet remain solid at June 30, 2014, with cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities of $4.1 billion, of which $2.2 billion related to outstanding commercial paper borrowings. These borrowings were a normal part of our client funds extended investment strategy. Our net cash flows provided by operating activities were $1,821.4 million in fiscal 2014, as compared to $1,577.2 million in fiscal 2013. This increase in cash flows provided by operating activities from fiscal 2013 to fiscal 2014 was due to higher net earnings in fiscal 2014, favorable changes in timing differences on the net components of working capital, and lower pension contributions. The increase in cash provided by investing activities of $2,391.7 million is due to the timing of receipts and disbursements of restricted cash and cash equivalents held to satisfy client funds obligations, partially offset by the timing of purchases and sales of corporate and client fund marketable securities. The increase in cash used in financing activities of $2,509.2 million is primarily due to the timing of cash received from items such as proceeds from reverse repurchase agreements, proceeds from the issuance of commercial paper, and payments made related to client funds as compared to the prior year.

We have a strong business model with a high percentage of recurring revenues, excellentgood margins, the ability to generate consistent healthy cash flows, strong client retention, and low capital expenditure requirements. Our financial condition and balance sheet remain solid at June 30, 2017, with cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities of approximately $2.8 billion.

We continue to enhance valuemake investments in our sales force and are pleased with the operational improvements of our organization, our ability to continuously innovate and offer new and exciting products to our shareholders,clients, and the ability of our service organization to support these new services and strategic platforms.  Our pipeline for future new business bookings remains strong, as we leverage our investments in fiscal 2014 returned excess cash of $883.1 million through dividendsour strategic platforms and $667.3 million through our share buyback program. Instrong, tenured sales force. We believe that our focus on these areas will continue to drive our growth and success in the last five fiscal years, we have reduced the Company's common stock outstanding by approximately 4% through share buybacks, net of the effect of common stock issued under employee stock-based compensation programs. We have also raised the dividend payout per share for 39 consecutive years.future.

We believe that the exclusion of the identified items helps us reflect the fundamentals of our underlying business model and analyze results against our expectations, against prior period, and to plan for future periods by focusing on our underlying operations.  We believe that the adjusted results provide relevant and useful information for investors because it allows investors to view performance in a manner similar to the method used by management and improves their ability to understand and assess our operating performance.  The followingnature of these exclusions are for specific items that are not fundamental to our underlying business operations.  Since these adjusted financial measures and other non-GAAP metrics are not measures of performance calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, they should not be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to their U.S. GAAP measures, and they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures at other companies.

Total Expenses

Our total expenses, as reported, increased$697.1 million, or 7%, to $10,004.8 million 6% in fiscal 2014,2017, as compared to fiscal 2013.2016.

Certain revenues and expenses are charged to the reportable segments at a standard rate for management reasons. Other costs are charged to the reportable segments based on management’s responsibility for the applicable costs.  The primary components of the “Other” segment are the results of operations of ADP Indemnity (a wholly-owned captive insurance company that provides workers’ compensation and employer’s liability deductible reimbursement insurance protection for PEO Services worksite employees), non-recurring gains and losses, miscellaneous processing services, such as customer financing transactions, and certain charges and expenses that have not been allocated to the reportable segments, such as stock-based compensation expense and the fiscal 2013 goodwill impairment charge.

In addition, there is a reconciling item for the difference between actual interest income earned on invested funds held for clients and interest credited to Employer Services and PEO Services at a standard rate of 4.5%.  This allocation is made for management reasons so that the reportable segments’ results are presented on a consistent basis without the impact of fluctuations in interest rates.  This allocation is a reconciling item to our reportable segments’ revenues from continuing operations and earnings from continuing operations before income taxes and is eliminated in consolidation.

We purchased approximately 9.013.5 million shares of our common stock at an average price per share of $75.06$94.42 during fiscal 20142017 as compared to purchases of 10.413.8 million shares at an average price per share of $61.8982.88 during fiscal 2013.2016. From time to time, the Company may repurchase shares of its common stock under its authorized share repurchase programs.  The Company considers several factors in determining when to execute share repurchases, including, among other things, actual and potential acquisition activity, cash balances and cash flows, issuances due to employee benefit plan activity, and market conditions. 

Fiscal 2016 Compared to Fiscal 2015

Net cash flows provided by operating activities decreased due to $226.7 million received from the sale of notes receivable related to Dealer Services financing arrangements during fiscal 2015.

Net cash flows used in investing activities increased due to the timing of receipts and disbursements of restricted cash and cash equivalents held to satisfy client funds obligations of $5,257.6 million and the receipt of the CDK Global, Inc. ("CDK") dividend during fiscal 2015, partially offset by the timing of purchases of and proceeds from corporate and client funds marketable securities of $545.7 million.

Net cash flows provided by financing activities increased due to the net increase in client funds obligations of $2,728.9 million, as a result of the timing of cash received and payments made related to client funds, proceeds from our $2.0 billion September 2015 debt issuance, a decrease in our repurchases of common stock, and the timing of borrowings and repayments of commercial paper. We purchased approximately 13.8 million shares of our common stock at an average price per share of $82.88 during fiscal 2016 as compared to purchases of 18.2 million shares at an average price per share of $85.28 during fiscal 2015. From time to time, the Company may repurchase shares of its common stock under its authorized share repurchase programs. The Company considers several factors in determining when to execute share repurchases, including, among other things, actual and potential acquisition activity, cash balances and cash flows, issuances due to employee benefit plan activity, and market conditions.

Capital Resources and Client Fund Obligations

In September 2015, we issued $2.0 billion of senior unsecured notes with maturity dates in 2020 and 2025. We may from time to time revisit the long-term debt market to refinance existing debt, finance investments including acquisitions for our growth, and maintain the appropriate capital structure. However, there can be no assurance that volatility in the global capital and credit markets would not impair our ability to access these markets on terms acceptable to us, or at all. See Note 10 of our Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of our long-term financing, including this fiscal 2016 debt issuance.

Our U.S. short-term funding requirements related to client funds are sometimes obtained on an unsecured basis through a short-term commercial paper program, which provides for the issuance of up to $7.25 billion in aggregate maturity value of commercial paper, rather than liquidating previously-collected client funds that have already been invested in available-for-sale securities. In July 2014, we increased our U.S. short-termDuring the majority of fiscal 2017, this commercial paper program to provideprovided for the issuance of up to $7.5$9.25 billion in aggregate maturity value.value and in June 2017, we increased our commercial paper program to $9.5 billion. Our commercial paper program is rated A-1+ by Standard and Poor’s and Prime-1 by Moody’s. These ratings denote the highest quality commercial paper securities. Maturities of commercial paper can range from overnight to up to 364 days.  ForIn fiscal 20142017 and 2013,2016, our average daily borrowings were $2.3$3.1 billion and $2.4$2.7 billion,, respectively, at a weighted average interest rate of 0.1%0.6% and 0.2%0.3%, respectively. The weighted average maturity of the Company’s commercial paper


during fiscal 2014 approximated 2017 was approximately two days.  We have successfully borrowed through the use of our commercial paper program on an as needed basis to meet short-term funding requirements related to client funds obligations.days.  At June 30, 2014,2017 and 2016, we had $2.2 billion of commercial paper outstanding, which was subsequently repaid on July 1, 2014. At June 30, 2013, we had no outstanding obligations under our short-term commercial paper program.

Our U.S. and Canadian short-term funding requirements related to client funds obligations are sometimes obtained on a secured basis through the use of reverse repurchase agreements, which are collateralized principally by government and government agency securities, rather than liquidating previously-collected client funds that have already been invested in available-for-sale securities. These agreements generally have terms ranging from overnight to up to five business days.  We have successfully borrowed through the use of reverse repurchase agreements on an as needed basis to meet short-term funding

requirements related to client funds obligations. At June 30, 2014,2017 and 2016, there were no outstanding obligations related to the reverse repurchase agreements. At June 30, 2013, we had $245.9 million of obligations outstanding related to reverse repurchase agreements, which were repaid on July 2, 2013. For fiscal 20142017 and 2013,2016, we had average outstanding balances under reverse repurchase agreements of $361.7$274.8 million and $362.0$341.0 million,, respectively, at weighted average interest rates of 0.5%0.6% and 0.7%0.4%, respectively. In addition, we have $3.25 billion available to us on a committed basis under theseSee Note 9 of our Consolidated Financial Statements for client fund investments used as collateral for reverse repurchase agreements. We believe that we currently meet all conditions set forth in the committed reverse repurchase agreements to borrow thereunder, and we are not aware of any conditions that would prevent us from borrowing part or all of the $3.25 billion available to us under the committed reverse repurchase agreements.

We vary the maturities of our committed credit facilities to limit the refinancing risk of any one facility. We have a $2.25$3.5 billion,, 364-day credit agreement with a group of lenders that matures in June 2015.2018 with a one year term-out option. In addition, we have a five-year $2.03.75 billion credit facility and a five-year $3.252.25 billion credit facility maturing in June 20182021 and June 20192022, respectively, each with an accordion feature under which the aggregate commitment can be increased by $500.0500 million, subject to the availability of additional commitments. The interest rate applicable to committed borrowings is tied to LIBOR, the effective federal funds rate, or the prime rate depending on the notification provided by the Company to the syndicated financial institutions prior to borrowing.  The Company is also required to pay facility fees on the credit agreements. The primary uses of the credit facilities are to provide liquidity to the commercial paper program and funding for general corporate purposes, if necessary.  We had no borrowings through June 30, 20142017 under the credit agreements. We believe that we currently meet all conditions set forth in the revolving credit agreements to borrow thereunder, and we are not aware of any conditions that would prevent us from borrowing part or all of the $7.5$9.5 billion available to us under the revolving credit agreements. See Note 6 of our Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of our short-term financing including credit facilities.

Our investment portfolio does not contain any asset-backed securities with underlying collateral of subprimesub-prime mortgages, alternative-A mortgages, sub-prime auto loans or sub-prime home equity loans, collateralized debt obligations, collateralized loan obligations, credit default swaps, asset-backed commercial paper, derivatives, auction rate securities, structured investment vehicles or non-investment grade fixed-income securities. We own AAA rated senior tranches of fixed rate credit card, auto loan, equipment lease, and rate reduction, and other asset-backed securities, secured predominately by prime collateral.  All collateral on asset-backed securities is performing as expected.  In addition, we own senior debt directly issued by Federal Home Loan Banks and Federal Farm Credit Banks.  We do own mortgage-backed securities, which represent an undivided beneficial ownership interest in a group or pool of one or more residential mortgages.  These securities are collateralized by the cash flows of 15-year and 30-year residential mortgages and are guaranteed primarily by Federal National Mortgage Association and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation as to the timely payment of principal and interest.  Our client funds investment strategy is structured to allow us to average our way through an interest rate cycle by laddering the maturities of our investments out to five years (in the case of the extended portfolio) and out to ten years (in the case of the long portfolio).  This investment strategy is supported by our short-term financing arrangements necessary to satisfy short-term funding requirements relating to client funds obligations. See Note 6 of our Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of our corporate investments and funds held for clients.

We enter into operating leases in the normal course of business relating to facilities and equipment, as well as the licensing of software.equipment. The majority of our lease agreements have fixed payment terms based on the passage of time. Certain facility and equipment leases require payment of maintenance and real estate taxes and contain escalation provisions based on future adjustments in price indices. Our future operating lease obligations could change if we exit certain contracts or if we enter into additional operating lease agreements.

ADP Indemnity provides workers' compensation and employer's liability deductible reimbursement insurance protection for PEO Services worksite employees up to a $1 million per occurrence. PEO Services has secured specific per occurrence and aggregate stop loss insurance from a wholly-owned and regulated insurance carrier of AIG that covers all losses in excess of the $1 million per occurrence and also any aggregate losses within the $1 million retention that collectively exceed a certain level in certain policy years. Should AIG and its wholly-owned insurance company be unable to satisfy their contractual obligations, ADP would also become responsible for satisfying these worksite employee workers' compensation obligations for these claims in excess of the $1 million per occurrence. We utilize historical loss experience and actuarial judgment to determine the estimated claim liability for the PEO Services business. Premiums are charged to PEO Services to cover the claims expected to be incurred by the PEO Services' worksite employees. Changes in estimated ultimate incurred losses are recognized by ADP Indemnity. During fiscal 2014,Separately, ADP Indemnity paid a premium of $142.4$235.0 million in July 2017 to enter into a reinsurance agreement with ACE American Insurance CompanyChubb to cover substantially all losses incurred by ADP Indemnity for the fiscal 2014 policy year up to the $1 million per occurrence related to the workers' compensation and employers' liability deductible reimbursement insurance protection for PEO Services worksite employees. ADP Indemnity paid a premium of $167.9 million in July 2014 to enter into a reinsurance agreement with ACE American Insurance Company to cover substantially all losses for the fiscal 20152018 policy year on terms substantially similar to the fiscal 20142017 reinsurance policy. At June 30, 2014,2017, ADP Indemnity'sIndemnity had total assets were $378.4of $533.9 million to satisfy the actuarially estimated unpaid losses of $318.8$459.7 million for the policy years since July 1, 2003. ADP Indemnity paid claims of $45.3$10.7 million and $59.5$14.0 million, net of insurance recoveries, in fiscal 20142017 and 2013,2016, respectively. Refer to the "Analysis of Reportable Segments - Other" above for additional information regarding ADP Indemnity.

In the normal course of business, we also enter into contracts in which we make representations and warranties that relate to the performance of our services and products. We do not expect any material losses related to such representations and warranties.



Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Our overall investment portfolio is comprised of corporate investments (cash and cash equivalents, short-term marketable securities, and long-term marketable securities) and client funds assets (funds that have been collected from clients but not yet remitted to the applicable tax authorities or client employees).


33



Our corporate investments are invested in cash and cash equivalents and highly liquid, investment-grade marketable securities.  These assets are available for repurchases of common stock for treasury and/or acquisitions, as well as other corporate operating purposes.  All of our short-term and long-term fixed-income securities are classified as available-for-sale securities.

Our client funds assets are invested with safety of principal, liquidity, and diversification as the primary objectives. Consistent with those objectives, we also seek to maximize interest income and to minimize the volatility of interest income.  Client funds assets are invested in highly liquid, investment-grade marketable securities, with a maximum maturity of 10 years at the time of purchase, and money market securities and other cash equivalents.  At June 30, 2014, approximately 92% of the available-for-sale securities categorized as U.S. Treasury and direct obligations of U.S. government agencies were invested in senior, unsecured, non-callable debt directly issued by the Federal Home Loan Banks and Federal Farm Credit Banks.
    
We utilize a strategy by which we extend the maturities of our investment portfolio for funds held for clients and employ short-term financing arrangements to satisfy our short-term funding requirements related to client funds obligations.  Our client funds investment strategy is structured to allow us to average our way through an interest rate cycle by laddering the maturities of our investments out to five years (in the case of the extended portfolio) and out to ten years (in the case of the long portfolio).  As part of our client funds investment strategy, we use the daily collection of funds from our clients to satisfy other unrelated client funds obligations, rather than liquidating previously-collected client funds that have already been invested in available-for-sale securities.  We minimize the risk of not having funds collected from a client available at the time such client’s obligation becomes due by impounding, in virtually all instances, the client’s funds in advance of the timing of payment of such client’s obligation.  As a result of this practice, we have consistently maintained the required level of client funds assets to satisfy all of our obligations.

There are inherent risks and uncertainties involving our investment strategy relating to our client funds assets.  Such risks include liquidity risk, including the risk associated with our ability to liquidate, if necessary, our available-for-sale securities in a timely manner in order to satisfy our client funds obligations.  However, our investments are made with the safety of principal, liquidity, and diversification as the primary goals to minimize the risk of not having sufficient funds to satisfy all of our client funds obligations.  We also believe we have significantly reduced the risk of not having sufficient funds to satisfy our client funds obligations by consistently maintaining access to other sources of liquidity, including our corporate cash balances, available borrowings under our $7.5$9.5 billion commercial paper program (rated A-1+ by Standard and Poor’s and Prime-1 (P1)("P-1") by Moody’s, the highest possible credit ratings), our ability to executeengage in reverse repurchase transactions ($3.25 billion of which is available on a committed basis),agreements and available borrowings under our $7.5$9.5 billion committed revolving credit facilities. The reduced availability of financing during periods of economic turmoil, even to borrowers with the highest credit ratings, may limit our ability to access short-term debt markets to meet the liquidity needs of our business.  In addition to liquidity risk, our investments are subject to interest rate risk and credit risk, as discussed below.

We have established credit quality, maturity, and exposure limits for our investments.  The minimum allowed credit rating at time of purchase for corporate and Canadian provincial bonds is BBB, for asset-backed securities is AAA, and for municipal bonds is A.  The maximum maturity at time of purchase for BBB rated securities is 5 years, for single A rated securities is 7 years, and for AA rated and AAA rated securities is 10 years. Time deposits and commercial paper must be rated A-1 and/or P-1. Money market funds must be rated AAA/Aaa-mf.

We are exposed to interest rate risk in relation to securities that mature, as the proceeds from maturing securities are reinvested.  Factors that influence the earnings impact of interest rate changes include, among others, the amount of invested funds and the overall portfolio mix between short-term and long-term investments.  This mix varies during the fiscal year and is impacted by daily interest rate changes.  The annualized interest rate earned on our entire portfolio decreased from 2.1%increased slightly to 1.6% for fiscal 20132017, as compared to 1.7% for fiscal 2014.2016.  A hypothetical change in both short-term interest rates (e.g., overnight interest rates or the federal funds rate) and intermediate-term interest rates of 25 basis points applied to the estimated average investment balances and any related short-term borrowings would result in approximately a $10$11 million impact to earnings from continuing operations before income taxes over the ensuing twelve-month period ending June 30,2015. 2018.  A hypothetical change in only short-term interest rates of 25 basis points applied to the estimated average short-term investment balances and any related short-term borrowings would result in approximately a $5$6 million impact to earnings from continuing operations before income taxes over the ensuing twelve-month period ending June 30,2015. 2018.

We are exposed to credit risk in connection with our available-for-sale securities through the possible inability of the borrowers to meet the terms of the securities.  We limit credit risk by investing in investment-grade securities, primarily AAA and AA rated securities, as rated by Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s, and for Canadian securities, Dominion Bond Rating Service.DBRS. Approximately 82%79% of our available-for-sale securities held a AAA or AA rating at June 30, 2014.2017.  In addition, we limit amounts that can be invested in any security other than U.S. and Canadian government or government agency securities.

We operate and transact business in various foreign jurisdictions and are therefore exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates that could impact our consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. We manage our exposure to these market risks through our regular operating and financing activities and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. We may use derivative financial instruments as risk management tools and not for trading purposes. We had no derivative financial instruments outstanding at June 30, 2017 or 2016.

In May 2014,See Note 1, New Accounting Pronouncements, of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers," which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. ASU 2014-09 requires an entity to recognize revenue depicting the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 will also result in enhanced revenue related disclosures. ASU 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. We have not yet determined the impact of ASU 2014-09 on our consolidated results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, "Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity." ASU 2014-08 requires that a disposal representing a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s financial results or a business activity classified as held for sale should be reported as discontinued operations. ASU 2014-08 also expands the disclosure requirements for discontinued operations and adds new disclosures for individually significant dispositions that do not qualify as discontinued operations. ASU 2014-08 is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014. The impact of ASU 2014-08 is dependent upon the nature of dispositions, if any, after adoption.

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists.” ASU 2013-11 requires netting of unrecognized tax benefits against a deferred tax assetStatements for a loss or other carryforward that would apply in settlementdiscussion of the uncertain tax position. ASU 2013-11 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Retrospective adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2013-11 will not have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

In July 2013, we adopted ASU 2013-02, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.”  ASU 2013-02 requires entities to disclose the amount of income (loss) reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income to each respective line item on the income statement. The guidance allows companies to elect whether to disclose the reclassification either on the face of the income statement or in the notes to the financial statements, including cross-referencing other disclosures which provide additional details about these amounts. We have elected to disclose the reclassification in the notes to the financial statements with cross-references to other disclosures which provide additional details about the amounts. The adoption of ASU 2013-02 did not have an impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.  recent accounting pronouncements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our consolidated financial statementsConsolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. We continually evaluate the accounting policies and estimates used to prepare the consolidated financial statements.Consolidated Financial Statements. The estimates are based on historical experience and assumptions believed to be reasonable under current facts and circumstances. Actual amounts and results could differ from these estimates made by management. Certain accounting policies that require significant management estimates and are deemed critical to our results of operations or financial position are discussed below.

Revenue RecognitionRecognition.. Ourrevenues are primarily attributable to fees for providing services (e.g.,, Employer Services' and PEO Services' payroll processing fees) as well as, investment income on payroll funds, payroll tax filing funds and other Employer Services' client-related funds. PEO revenues are reported net of direct pass-through costs, which are costs billedfunds, and incurred for PEO Services' worksite employees, primarily consisting of payroll wages and payroll taxes. Benefits, workers' compensation and state unemployment tax fees for worksite employees are included in PEO revenues andcharged to implement clients on the associated costs are included in operating expenses.Company's solutions. We enter into agreements for a fixed fee per transaction (e.g.,, number of payees or number of payrolls processed). Fees associated with services are recognized in the period services are rendered and earned under service arrangements with clients where service fees are fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Our

PEO provides a comprehensive human resources outsourcing solution, including offering benefits, providing workers’ compensation insurance, and administering state unemployment insurance, among other human resources functions. Amounts collected from PEO worksite employers include payroll, fees for benefits, and an administrative fee that also includes payroll taxes, fees for workers’ compensation and state unemployment taxes.

The payroll and payroll taxes collected from the worksite employers are presented in revenue net, as the Company is not the primary obligor with respect to this aspect of the PEO arrangement. With respect to the payroll and payroll taxes, the worksite employer is the primary obligor, has latitude in establishing price, selects suppliers, and determines the service specifications.

The fees collected from the worksite employers for benefits, workers’ compensation and state unemployment taxes are determined based on writtenpresented in revenues and the associated costs of benefits, workers’ compensation and state unemployment taxes are included in operating expenses, as the Company acts as a principal with respect to this aspect of the arrangement. With respect to the fees for benefits, workers’ compensation and state unemployment taxes, the Company is the primary obligor, has latitude in establishing price, quotations orselects suppliers, determines the service agreements having stipulated termsspecifications and conditions that do not require management to make any significant judgments or assumptions regarding any potential uncertainties. Interestis liable for credit risk.
We recognize interest income on collected but not yet remitted funds held for clients is recognized in revenues as earned, as the collection, holding and remittance of these funds are critical components of providing these services.

We also recognize revenues associated withClient implementation fees are charged to set clients up on our solutions and are deferred until the sale of software systemsclient has gone live and associated software licenses (e.g., Dealer Services' dealer management systems). For a majority of our software sales arrangements, which provide hardware, software licenses, installation, and post-contract customer support, revenuesservices have begun. These fees are recognized ratablyamortized to revenue over the software license term, as vendor-specific objective evidencelonger of the fair valuescontractual term or expected client life, including estimated renewals of the individual elements in the sales arrangement does not exist. Changes to the elements in an arrangement and the ability to establish vendor-specific objective evidence for those elements could affect the timing of the revenue recognition.client contracts.

We assess the collectability of our revenues based primarily on the creditworthiness of the customer as determined by credit checks and analysis, as well as the customer's payment history. We do not believe that a change in our assumptions utilized in the collectability determination would result in a material change to revenues as no single customer accounts for a significant portion of our revenues.

Goodwill. We account for goodwill in accordance with ASC 350-10,Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 350, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other," which statesrequires that goodwill should not be amortized, but instead tested for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. WeAccording to ASC 350, we can opt to perform thisa qualitative assessment to test a reporting unit’s goodwill for impairment test by first comparingor can directly perform the two-step impairment test. Based on a qualitative assessment, if it is determined that the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying amount. If the carrying value for a reporting unit exceedsis more likely than not less than its fair value, we then compare the implied fair value of our goodwill to the carrying amount, the two-step impairment test prescribed by ASC 350 would be performed.

Our annual goodwill impairment assessment as of June 30, 2017 was performed using a qualitative approach. The qualitative assessment considered industry and market considerations for any deterioration in orderthe environment in which we operate, the competitive environment, a decline (both absolute and relative to determinepeers) in market-dependent multiples or metrics, any changes in the amount of themarket for our services, and regulatory and political development. Additionally, we assessed financial


performance by reporting unit and considered cost factors, such as labor or other costs, that would have a negative effect on results. The annual goodwill impairment if any. We determineassessments performed for fiscal 2017 have indicated that it is more likely than not that the fair value of our reporting units using an equal weighted blended approach, which combines the income approach, which is the present valuesubstantially in excess of expected cash flows, discounted at a risk-adjusted weighted-average cost of capital; and the market approach, which is based on using market multiples of companies in similar lines of business. Significant assumptions used in determining the fair value of our reporting units include projected revenue growth rates, profitability projections, working capital assumptions, the weighted-average cost of capital, the determination of appropriate market comparison companies, and terminal growth rates. We had $3,113.8 million of goodwill as of June 30, 2014. Based on the fair value analysis completed in the fourth quarter of 2014, management concluded that fair value exceeded carrying value for all reporting units and that no reporting units werenot at risk of failing step one of the quantitative goodwill impairment. In completingimpairment test. Based on our qualitative assessment, the annual impairment test for fiscal 2014, we evaluated the reasonableness of differences noted between the fair value and carrying value of each reporting unit. Given the significance of ourCompany has determined that goodwill an adverse change to the fair value of goodwill and intangible assets could result in an impairment charge which could be material to our consolidated earnings if we are unable to generate the anticipated revenue growth, synergies and/or cost savings associated with our acquisitions. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, there was an impairment charge of $42.7 million for the ADP AdvancedMD reporting unit.is not impaired.

Income Taxes. The objectives of accounting for income taxes are to recognize the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in an entity's financial statements or tax returns. Judgment is required in addressing the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our consolidated financial statementsConsolidated Financial Statements or tax returns (e.g., realization of deferred tax assets, changes in tax laws or interpretations thereof). In addition, we are subject to the continuous examination of our income tax returns by the IRSInternal Revenue Service ("IRS") and other tax authorities. A change in the assessment of the outcomes of such matters could materially impact our consolidated financial statements.Consolidated Financial Statements.

There is a financial statement recognition threshold and measurement attribute for tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Specifically, the likelihood of an entity's tax benefits being sustained must be “more likely than not” assuming that those positions will be examined by taxing authorities with full knowledge of all relevant information prior to recording the related tax benefit in the financial statements. If a tax position drops below the “more likely than not” standard, the benefit can no longer be recognized. Assumptions, judgment and the use of estimates are required in determining if the “more likely than not” standard has been met when developing the provision for income taxes. A change in the assessment of the “more likely than not” standard could materially impact our consolidated financial statements.Consolidated Financial Statements. As of June 30, 20142017 and 2013,2016, the Company's liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits, which include interest and penalties, were $56.7$74.6 million and $70.7$27.4 million,, respectively.

If certain pending tax matters settle within the next twelve months, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits may increase or decrease for all open tax years and jurisdictions. Based on current estimates, favorable settlements related to various jurisdictions and tax periods could increase earnings up to $10$35 million in the next twelve months. Audit outcomes and the timing of audit settlements are subject to significant uncertainty. We continually assess the likelihood and amount of potential adjustments and adjust the income tax provision, the current tax liability and deferred taxes in the period in which the facts that give rise to a revision become known.

Stock-Based Compensation.Compensation. We measure stock-based compensation expense based on the fair value of the award on the date of grant. We determine the fair value of stock options issued by using a binomial option-pricing model. The binomial option-pricing model considers a range of assumptions related to volatility, dividend yield, risk-free interest rate, and employee

37



exercise behavior. Expected volatilities utilized in the binomial option-pricing model are based on a combination of implied market volatilities, historical volatility of our stock price, and other factors. Similarly, the dividend yield is based on historical experience and expected future changes. The risk-free rate is derived from the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The binomial option-pricing model also incorporates exercise and forfeiture assumptions based on an analysis of historical data. The expected life of the stock option grants is derived from the output of the binomial model and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. Determining these assumptions is subjective and complex, and, therefore, a change in the assumptions utilized could impact the calculation of the fair value of our stock options.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Tabular dollars in millions, except per share amounts)

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A. Basis of Preparation. The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes thereto of Automatic Data Processing, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“ADP” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the assets, liabilities, revenue,revenues, costs, expenses, and accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) that are reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes thereto. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The Consolidated Financial Statements and all relevant footnotes have been adjusted for all businesses that qualify as a discontinued operation (see Note 3).

B. Description of Business. The Company is a provider of technology-based outsourcing solutions to employers and vehicle retailers and manufacturers.cloud-based Human Capital Management ("HCM") solutions. The Company classifies its operations into the following two reportable segments: Employer Services;Services and Professional Employer Organization (“PEO”) Services; and Dealer Services. The primary components of “Other” are non-recurring gains and losses, miscellaneous processing services, the “Other” segment areelimination of intercompany transactions, interest expense, the results of operations of ADP Indemnity, (a wholly-owned captive insurance company that provides workers' compensation and employer's liability deductible reimbursement insurance protection for PEO Services worksite employees), non-recurring gains and losses, miscellaneous processing services, such as customer financing transactions, and certain charges and expenses that have not been allocated to the reportable segments, such asand the historical results of the AdvancedMD ("AMD") business. Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company's chief operating decision maker began reviewing the Company's results with stock-based compensation expense,included in the goodwill impairment chargeCompany's operating segments. This change, as well as changes to the allocation methodology for certain corporate level allocations and the year ended June 30, 2013 ("fiscal 2013"), and direct and incremental costs incurred to consummate the planned separationmovement of the historical results of AMD to Other, has been adjusted in both the current period and the prior period and did not materially affect reportable segment results. Prior to October 1, 2014, the Company had a third reportable segment, Dealer Services business.Services. See Note 3 for further information.

C. Revenue Recognition. Revenues are primarily attributable to fees for providing services (e.g., Employer Services' payroll processing fees) as well as, investment income on payroll funds, payroll tax filing funds, and other Employer Services' client-related funds.funds, and fees charged to implement clients on the Company's solutions. The Company enters into agreements for a fixed fee per transaction (e.g., number of payees or number of payrolls processed). Fees associated with services are recognized in the period services are rendered and earned under service arrangements with clients where service fees are fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Service fees are determined based on written price quotations or service agreements having stipulated terms and conditions that do not require management to make any significant judgments or assumptions regarding any potential uncertainties.

PEO revenues are reported net of direct pass-through costs, which are costs billedprovides a comprehensive human resources outsourcing solution, including offering benefits, providing workers’ compensation insurance, and incurredadministering state unemployment insurance, among other human resources functions. Amounts collected from PEO worksite employers include payroll, fees for PEO Services worksite employees, primarily consisting ofbenefits, and an administrative fee that also includes payroll wages and payroll taxes. Benefits, workers'taxes, fees for workers’ compensation and state unemployment taxtaxes.

The payroll and payroll taxes collected from the worksite employers are presented in revenue net, as the Company is not the primary obligor with respect to this aspect of the PEO arrangement. With respect to the payroll and payroll taxes, the worksite employer is the primary obligor, has latitude in establishing price, selects suppliers, and determines the service specifications.

The fees collected from the worksite employers for worksite employeesbenefits, workers’ compensation and state unemployment taxes are includedpresented in PEO revenues and the associated costs of benefits, workers’ compensation and state unemployment taxes are included in operating expenses.expenses, as the Company acts as a principal with respect to this aspect of the arrangement. With respect to the fees for benefits, workers’ compensation and state unemployment taxes, the Company is the primary obligor, has latitude in establishing price, selects suppliers, determines the service specifications and is liable for credit risk.

Interest income on collected but not yet remitted funds held for clients is recognized in revenues as earned, as the collection, holding and remittance of these funds are critical components of providing these services.

The Company also recognizes revenues associated withClient implementation fees are charged to set clients up on the sale of software systemsCompany's platform and associated software licenses (e.g., Dealer Services' dealer management systems). For a majority of our software sales arrangements, which provide hardware, software licenses, installation,are deferred until the client has gone live on the Company's solutions and post-contract customer support, revenuesservices have begun. These fees are recognized ratablyamortized to revenue over the software license term, as vendor-specific objective evidencelonger of the fair valuescontractual term or the expected client life, including estimated renewals of client contracts. Additionally, certain implementation costs are deferred until the client has gone live on the Company's solution and services have begun and are then amortized over the longer of the individual elements incontractual term or the sales arrangement does not exist.expected client life, including estimated renewals of client contracts.

The Company assesses the collectability of revenues based primarily on the creditworthiness of the customer as determined by credit checks and analysis, as well as the customer's payment history.

D. Cash and Cash Equivalents. InvestmentHighly liquid investment securities with a maturity of ninety days or less at the time of purchase are considered cash equivalents. The fair value of our cash and cash equivalents approximates carrying value.

E. Corporate Investments and Funds Held for Clients. All of the Company's marketable securities are considered to be “available-for-sale” and, accordingly, are carried on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses, net of the related tax effect, are excluded from earnings and are reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the Consolidated Balance Sheets until realized. Realized gains and losses from the sale of available-for-sale securities are determined on a specific-identification basis and are included in other income, net on the Statements of Consolidated Earnings.

If the fair value of an available-for-sale debt security is below its amortized cost, the Company assesses whether it intends to

45


sell the security or if it is more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery. If either of those two conditions areis met, the Company would recognize a charge in earnings equal to the entire difference between the security's amortized cost basis and its fair value. If the Company does not intend to sell a security or it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery, the unrealized loss is separated into an amount representing the credit loss, which is recognized in earnings, and the amount related to all other factors, which is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income.income (loss).

Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the related available-for-sale security as an adjustment to yield using the effective-interest method. Dividend and interest income are recognized when earned.
F. Fair Value Measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and is based upon the Company’s principal, or most advantageous, market for a specific asset or liability.

U.S. GAAP provides for a three-level hierarchy of inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value, defined as follows:

Level 1 Fair value is determined based upon quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities that are traded in active markets.

Level 2 Fair value is determined based upon inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability, including:
· quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
· quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active;
· inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; or
· inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3 Fair value is determined based upon inputs that are unobservable and reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based upon the best information available in the circumstances (e.g., internally derived assumptions surrounding the timing and amount of expected cash flows).

Available-for-sale securities included in Level 1The Company's corporate investments and funds held for clients (see Note 6) and its long term debt are valued using closing prices for identical instruments that are tradedmeasured at fair value on active exchanges.a recurring basis as described below. Over 99% of the Company's available-for-sale securities included in Level 2 are valued utilizing inputsbased on prices obtained from an independent pricing service. To determine the fair value of the Company's Level 2 investments, the independent pricing service uses various pricing models for each asset class that are consistent with what other market participants would use, including the market approach. Inputs and assumptions to the pricing model of the independent pricing service are derived from market observable sources including: benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, benchmark securities, bids, offers and other market-related data. Since many fixed income securities do not

trade on a daily basis, the independent pricing service applies available information, as applicable, through processes such as benchmark curves, benchmarking of like securities, sector groupings and matrix pricing to prepare valuations. For the purposes of valuing the Company’s asset-backed securities, as well as the mortgage-backed securities that are included within Other securities in Note 6, the independent pricing service includes additional inputs to the model such as monthly payment information, new issue data, and collateral performance. For the purposes of valuing the Company’s Municipal bonds, the independent pricing service includes Municipal Market Data benchmark yield curves as additional inputs to the model. While the Company is not provided access to the proprietary models of the third party pricing service, each quarterly reporting period, the Company reviews the inputs utilized by the independent pricing service and compares the valuations received from the independent pricing service to valuations from at least one other observable source for reasonableness. The Company has not adjusted the prices obtained from the independent pricing service and the Company believes the prices received from the independent pricing service are representative of the prices that would be received to sell the assets at the measurement date (exit price). The Company has no available-for-sale securities included in Level 1 and Level 3.

In September 2015, the Company issued fixed-rate notes with 5-year and 10-year maturities for an aggregate principal amount of $2.0 billion (collectively the "Notes"). The Notes are valued utilizing a variety of inputs are utilized,obtained from an independent pricing service, including benchmark yields, reported trades, non-binding broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers, and reference data, new issue data, and monthly payment information.data. The Company reviews the values generated by the independent pricing service for reasonableness by comparing the valuations received from the independent pricing service to valuations from at least one other observable source. The Company has not adjusted the prices obtained from the independent pricing service. The Company has no available-for-sale securities included in Level 3.

The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the classification of assets and liabilities within the fair value hierarchy. In certain instances, the inputs used to measure fair value may meet the definition of more than one level of the fair value hierarchy. The significant input with the lowest level priority is used to determine the applicable level in the fair value hierarchy.

G. Long-term Receivables. Long-term receivables primarily relate to notes receivable from the sale of computer systems to auto, truck, motorcycle, marine, recreational vehicle, and heavy equipment retailers and manufacturers. Unearned income from finance receivables represents the excess of gross receivables over the sales price of the computer systems financed. Unearned income is amortized using the effective-interest method to maintain a constant rate of return over the term of each contract.
Notes receivable aged over 30 days past due are considered delinquent and notes receivable aged over 60 days past due with known collection issues are placed on non-accrual status. Interest revenue is not recognized on notes receivable while on non-accrual status.  Cash payments received on non-accrual receivables are applied towards the principal.  When notes receivable on non-accrual status are again less than 60 days past due, recognition of interest revenue for notes receivable is resumed.
The allowance for doubtful accounts on long-term receivables is the Company's best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses related to the Company's existing note receivables.

H. Property, Plant and Equipment. Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost and depreciatedless accumulated depreciation on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Depreciation is recognized over the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the term of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements. The estimated useful lives of assets are primarily as follows:
Data processing equipment2 to 5 years
Buildings20 to 40 years
Furniture and fixtures34 to 7 years

The Company has obligations under various facilities and equipment leases. The Company assesses whether these arrangements meet the criteria for capital leases by determining whether the agreement transfers ownership of the asset, whether the lease includes a bargain purchase option, whether the lease term is for greater than 75% of the asset's useful life, or whether the minimum lease payments exceed 90% of the leased equipment's fair market value. All of the Company's leases are classified as operating leases. Total expense under these operating lease agreements was approximately $234.5 million, $201.7 million, and $201.8 million in fiscal 2017, 2016, and 2015, respectively.

I.H. Goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the value assigned to the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but is instead tested annually for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may notmore frequently when an event or circumstance indicates that goodwill might be recoverable. impaired.

The Company performs thisCompany's annual goodwill impairment test by first comparing the fair value of each reporting units to its carrying amount. If the carrying value for a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company would then compare the implied fair value of goodwill to the carrying amount in order to determine the amount of the impairment, if any. The Company determines the estimated fair value of its reporting units using an equal weighted blended approach, which combines the income approach, which is the present value of expected cash flows, discounted at a risk-adjusted weighted-average cost of capital; and the market approach, which is based on using market multiples of companies in similar lines of business. Significant assumptions used in determining the fair value of our reporting units include projected revenue growth rates, profitability projections, working capital assumptions, the weighted average cost of capital, the determination of appropriate market comparison companies, and terminal growth rates. The Company had $3,113.8 million of goodwillassessment as of June 30, 2014.2017 was performed for all reporting units using a qualitative approach. The qualitative assessment considered industry and market considerations for any deterioration in the environment in which the Company operates, the competitive environment, a decline (both absolute and relative to peers) in market-dependent multiples or metrics, any changes in the market for the Company's products and services, and regulatory and political developments. Additionally, the Company assessed financial performance by reporting unit and considered cost factors, such as labor or other costs, that would have a negative effect on results. Based on the fair value analysis completed in the fourth quarter of 2014,qualitative assessment, the Company concludedhas determined that goodwill fair value exceeded the carrying value for all reporting units. In fiscal 2013, the Company recognized a $42.7 million impairment on its AdvancedMD reporting unit.is not impaired.
 
J.I. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to

be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.
K.J. Foreign Currency Translation.Currency. The net assets of the Company's foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars based on exchange rates in effect for each period, and revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates in the periods. Gains or losses from balance sheet translation are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Currency transaction gains or losses, which are included in the results of operations, are immaterialnot significant for all periods presented.

L.K. Foreign Currency Risk Management Programs and Derivative Financial Instruments. The Company transacts business in various foreign jurisdictions and is therefore exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates that could impact its consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.  The Company manages its exposure to these market risks through its regular operating and financing activities and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments.  The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.  

Derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value and are recognized as assets or liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets with changes in the fair value of the derivatives recognized in either net earnings from continuing operations or accumulated other comprehensive income, depending on the timing and designated purpose of the derivative.

There were no derivative financial instruments outstanding at June 30, 2014 or June 30, 2013.

N.M. Stock-Based Compensation. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense in net earnings based on the fair value of the award on the date of the grant.grant, and in the case of international units settled in cash, adjusts this fair value based on changes in the Company's stock price during the vesting period. The Company determines the fair value of stock options issued using a binomial option-pricing model. The binomial option-pricing model considers a range of assumptions related to volatility, dividend yield, risk-free interest rate, and employee exercise behavior. Expected volatilities utilized in the binomial option-pricing model are based on a combination of implied market volatilities, historical volatility of the Company's stock price, and other factors. Similarly, the dividend yield is based on historical experience and expected future changes. The risk-free rate is derived from the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The binomial option-pricing model also incorporates exercise and forfeiture assumptions based on an analysis of historical data. The expected life of a stock option grant is derived from the output of the binomial model and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. Restricted stock units and restricted stock awards are valued based on the closing price of the Company's common stock on the date of the grant and, in the case of performance based restricted stock

units and restricted stock, are adjusted for changes to probabilities of achieving performance targets. International restricted stock units are settled in cash and are marked-to-market based on changes in the Company's stock price. See Note 11 for additional information on the Company's stock-based compensation programs.

O.N. Internal Use Software. Expenditures for major software purchases and software developed or obtained for internal use are capitalized and amortized over a three to five-year period on a straight-line basis. The Company begins to capitalize costs incurred for computer software developed for internal use when the preliminary development efforts are successfully completed, management has authorized and committed to funding the project, and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used as intended. Capitalization ceases when a computer software project is substantially complete and ready for its intended use.

The Company's policy provides for the capitalization of external direct costs of materials and services associated with developing or obtaining internal use computer software. In addition, the Company also capitalizes certain payroll and payroll-related costs for employees who are directly associated with internal use computer software projects. The amount of capitalizable payroll costs with respect to these employees is limited to the time directly spent on such projects. Costs associated with preliminary project stage activities, training, maintenance, and all other post-implementation stage activities are expensed as incurred. The Company also expenses internal costs related to minor upgrades and enhancements, as it is impractical to separate these costs from normal maintenance activities.

O. Acquisitions. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations are recorded on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as of the respective acquisition dates based upon their estimated fair values at such dates. The results of operations of businesses acquired by the Company are included in the Statements of Consolidated Earnings since their respective dates of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed is allocated to goodwill. In certain circumstances, the allocations of the excess purchase price are based upon preliminary estimates and assumptions and subject to revision when the Company receives final information, including appraisals and other analysis. Accordingly, the measurement period for such purchase price allocations will end when the information, or the facts and circumstances, becomes available, but will not exceed twelve months.

P. Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed. The Company capitalizes certain costs of computer software to be sold, leased, or otherwise marketed. The Company's policy provides for the capitalization of all software production costs upon reaching technological feasibility for a specific product. Technological feasibility is attained when software products have a completed working model whose consistency with the overall product design has been confirmed by testing. Costs incurred prior to the establishment of technological feasibility are expensed as incurred. The establishment of technological feasibility requires judgment by management and in many instances is only attained a short time prior to the general release of the software. Upon the general release of the software product to customers, capitalization ceases and such costs are amortized over a three-year period on a straight-line basis. Maintenance-related costs are expensed as incurred.

Q. Income Taxes. The objectives of accounting for income taxes are to recognize the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in an entity's financial statements or tax returns. The Company is subject to the continuous examination of our income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and other tax authorities.

There is a financial statement recognition threshold and measurement attribute for tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Specifically, the likelihood of an entity's tax benefits being sustained must be “more likely than not,” assuming that these positions will be examined by taxing authorities with full knowledge of all relevant information prior to recording the related tax benefit in the financial statements. If a tax position drops below the “more likely than not” standard, the benefit can no longer be recognized. Assumptions, judgment, and the use of estimates are required in determining if the “more likely than not” standard has been met when developing the provision for income taxes. As of June 30, 20142017 and 2013,2016, the Company's liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits, which include interest and penalties, were $56.7$74.6 million and $70.727.4 million, respectively.

If certain pending tax matters settle within the next twelve months, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits may increase or decrease for all open tax years and jurisdictions. Based on current estimates, favorable settlements related to various jurisdictions and tax periods could increase earnings by up to $10$35 million. in the next twelve months. Audit outcomes and the timing of audit settlements are subject to significant uncertainty. We continually assess the likelihood and amount of potential adjustments and adjust the income tax provision, the current tax liability, and deferred taxes in the period in which the facts that give rise to a revision become known.

R.Q. Workers' Compensation Costs. The Company employs a third-party actuary to assist in determining the estimated claim liability related to workers' compensation and employer's liability coverage for PEO Services worksite employees. In estimating ultimate loss rates, we utilize historical loss experience, exposure data, and actuarial judgment, together with a range of inputs which are primarily based upon the worksite employee's job responsibilities, their location, the historical frequency and severity of workers' compensation claims, and an estimate of future cost trends. For each reporting period, changes in the actuarial assumptions resulting from changes in actual claims experience and other trends are incorporated into our workers' compensation claims cost estimates. The CompanyPEO Services has secured specifica workers’ compensation and employer’s liability insurance policy that has a $1 million per occurrence insurance that caps the exposure for each claim at $1 million per occurrence,retention and, has also securedin fiscal years 2012 and prior, aggregate stop loss insurance that capscovers any aggregate losses atwithin the $1 million retention that collectively exceed a certain level, from an admitted and licensed insurance company of AIG. For the fiscal years 2013 to 2017, as well as in eachJuly 2017 for

the year ended June 30, 2018 ("fiscal 2018") policy year. Additionally, for fiscal 2013 and 2014, the Company enteredyear, ADP Indemnity paid premiums to enter into reinsurance arrangements with ACE American Insurance Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Chubb Limited ("Chubb"), to cover substantially all losses incurred by the Company for the fiscal 2013 and 2014ADP Indemnity during these policy yearsyears. Each of these reinsurance arrangements limit our overall exposure incurred up to a certain limit. The Company believes the $1 million per occurrence related to workers' compensation and employer's liability deductible reimbursement insurance protection for PEO services worksite employees.likelihood of ultimate losses exceeding this limit is remote.

S.R. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2016, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-09, "Compensation - Stock Compensation - Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (Topic 718)." As a result of this standard, the Company prospectively recorded income tax benefits and deficiencies with respect to stock-based compensation as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement for periods beginning after July 1, 2016. This resulted in a $32.1 million benefit in income tax expense for fiscal 2017. The Company retrospectively classified excess tax benefits as an operating activity on the Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows, which increased operating cash flows and decreased financing cash flows by $37.4 million and $68.4 million for fiscal 2016 and 2015, respectively. See Note 12 for the impact of the prospective adoption of the excess tax benefits in the income statement for fiscal 2017.

In July 2016, the Company prospectively adopted ASU 2015-05, "Customer's Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement." The update provides guidance on whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. For new and materially modified cloud computing arrangements that include a software license entered into after July 1, 2016, the Company accounts for the software license element consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If the new or materially modified cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the Company accounts for the arrangement as a service contract. The adoption of ASU 2015-05 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

In July 2016, the Company prospectively adopted ASU 2015-04, "Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Practical Expedient for the Measurement Date of an Employer's Defined Benefit Obligation and Plan Assets." The update allows an entity to remeasure their pension and other post-retirement benefit plan assets and liabilities at the month-end closest to a significant event such as a plan amendment, curtailment, or settlement. The adoption had no impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows as presented, however, the future impact of ASU 2015-04 will be dependent upon the nature of future significant events impacting the Company's pension plans, if any.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014,2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU"ASU 2017-09, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 708) Scope of Modification Accounting." ASU 2017-09 provides guidance about which changes to the terms and conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. ASU 2017-09 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows, however, the future impact will be dependent on the nature of future modifications of any share-based payment awards.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, "Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs: Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities." ASU 2017-08 shortens the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium and requires the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. ASU 2017-08 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2017-08 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, "Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Post-retirement Benefit Cost." ASU 2017-07 requires reporting the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising during the period in the Statements of Consolidated Earnings. The other components of net periodic pension cost are required to be presented in the Statements of Consolidated Earnings separately from the service cost component. Such changes are to be applied retrospectively from the date of adoption. ASU 2017-07 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has not yet determined the impact of ASU 2017-07 on its consolidated results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairments.” ASU 2017-04 establishes a one-step process for testing goodwill for a decrease in value, requiring

a goodwill impairment loss to be measured as the excess of the reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value. The guidance eliminates the second step of the current two-step process that requires the impairment to be measured as the difference between the implied value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the goodwill’s carrying amount. ASU 2017-04 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual impairment tests after January 1, 2017. ASU 2017-04 is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, "Business Combinations (Topic 805) - Clarifying the Definition of a Business," to clarify the definition of a business in order to allow for the evaluation of whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or disposals of assets or businesses. ASU 2017-01 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The impact of ASU 2017-01 will be dependent upon the nature of future acquisitions or dispositions made by the Company, if any.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash." ASU 2016-18 requires that the statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash. Accordingly, restricted cash will be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows. ASU 2016-18 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company expects to retrospectively adopt the new standard in its fiscal year beginning on July 1, 2017. ASU 2016-18 will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)." This update amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, and requires lessees to recognize virtually all of their leases on the balance sheet by recording a right-of-use asset and lease liabilities (other than leases that meet the definition of a "short-term lease"). ASU 2016-02 requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has not yet determined the impact of ASU 2016-02 on its consolidated results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)," which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance.guidance, and has since issued additional amendments to ASU 2014-09 requires2014-09. These new standards require an entity to recognize revenue depicting the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09The new standards will also result in enhanced revenue related disclosures. ASU 2014-09 isEntities have the option to apply the new guidance under a retrospective approach to each prior reporting period presented or a modified retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially applying the new guidance recognized at the date of initial application within the Statements of Consolidated Financial Position. The new standards are effective for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. 2017. Early adoption is permitted.

The Company had been assessing the impact of the new revenue recognition standard on its relationships with its clients. In fiscal 2017, the Company determined it will not early adopt the standard, and instead will adopt the new standard in its fiscal year beginning on July 1, 2018. Further, the Company anticipates applying the guidance under the full retrospective approach. The Company is nearly complete with its comprehensive diagnostic of the measurement and recognition provisions of the new standard and is in the process of finalizing its conclusions and policies. The Company expects the provisions of the new standard to primarily impact the manner in which it treats certain costs to fulfill contracts (i.e., implementation costs) and costs to acquire new contracts (i.e., selling costs). The provisions of the new standard will require the Company to capitalize and amortize additional implementation costs than those capitalized and amortized under current U.S. GAAP. Further, under current U.S. GAAP, the Company immediately expenses all selling expenses. The provisions of the new standard will require that the Company capitalize incremental selling expenses such as commissions and bonuses paid to the salesforce for obtaining contracts with new clients and/or selling additional business to current clients. These capitalized expenses will be amortized over the expected client life. While the Company grows, the impact of deferring and amortizing additional costs creates higher overall pre-tax income, net earnings, and earnings per share, when compared to current U.S. GAAP. The Company does not expect the provisions of the new standard to materially impact the timing or amount of revenue it recognizes.

The Company has not yet determined the impacts of all the disclosure requirements and specifically is assessing the manner in which it will disaggregate its revenue to illustrate how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Additionally, while the Company is in the process of assessing its accounting and

forecasting processes to ensure its ability to record, report, forecast, and analyze results under the new standard, it is not expecting significant changes to its business processes or systems.


NOTE 2. ACQUISITIONS

The Company acquired two businesses during fiscal 2017 for total upfront cash consideration of approximately $90.0 million and contingent consideration of up to $35.0 million, which is payable over the next three years, subject to the achievement of specified financial metrics and/or other conditions. The Company determined the fair value of the contingent consideration on the acquisition date using various estimates that are not observable in the market and represent a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The acquisitions were not material to the Company's results of operations, financial position, or cash flows and, therefore, the pro forma impact of these acquisitions is not presented. The results of the acquisitions are reported within the Company’s Employer Services segment. As of June 30, 2017, the Company had not yet finalized the purchase price allocation for these two acquisitions.

NOTE 3. DIVESTITURES

A. Dispositions

On November 28, 2016, the Company completed the sale of its Consumer Health Spending Account ("CHSA") and Consolidated Omnibus Reconciliation Act ("COBRA") businesses for a pre-tax gain of $205.4 million, and recorded such gain within Other income, net on the Statements of Consolidated Earnings. The historical results of operations of these businesses are included in the Employer Services segment. 

On September 1, 2015, the Company completed the sale of its AMD business for a pre-tax gain of $29.1 million, less costs to sell, and recorded such gain within Other income, net on the Statements of Consolidated Earnings. The historical results of operations of this business are included in the Other segment. 

The Company determined that the CHSA, COBRA and AMD divestitures did not meet the criteria for reporting discontinued operations under ASU 2014-092014-08 as the disposition of these businesses does not represent a strategic shift that has a major effect on the Company's operations or financial results.

B. Discontinued Operations

On June 26, 2015, the Company completed the sale of its consolidatedProcure-to-Pay business ("P2P") for a pre-tax gain of $100.9 million, less costs to sell, and recorded such gain within earnings from discontinued operations on the Statements of Consolidated Earnings.

On September 30, 2014, the Company completed the tax free spin-off of its former Dealer Services business, which was a separate reportable segment, into an independent publicly traded company called CDK Global, Inc. ("CDK"). As a result of the spin-off, ADP stockholders of record on September 24, 2014 (the "record date") received one share of CDK common stock on September 30, 2014, par value $0.01 per share, for every three shares of ADP common stock held by them on the record date and cash for any fractional shares of CDK common stock. ADP distributed approximately 160.6 million shares of CDK common stock in the distribution. During the first quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company became aware that 1.0 million of the 160.6 million shares of CDK stock distributed at the distribution date were inadvertently issued and distributed with respect to certain unvested Company equity awards. The 1.0 million shares were canceled during the first quarter of fiscal 2016. Such shares distributed as part of the spin-off did not have any impact to previously reported results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows. The spin-off was made without the payment of any consideration or the exchange of any shares by ADP stockholders. The spin-off, transitional, and on-going relationships between ADP and CDK are governed by the Separation and Distribution Agreement entered into between ADP and CDK and certain other ancillary agreements.

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, "Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity." ASU 2014-08 requires that a disposal representing a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s financial results or a business activity classified as held for sale should be reported as discontinued operations. ASU 2014-08 also expands the disclosure requirements for discontinued operations and adds new disclosures for individually significant dispositions that do not qualify as discontinued operations. ASU 2014-08 is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014. The impact of ASU 2014-08 is dependent upon the nature of dispositions, if any, after adoption.

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists.” ASU 2013-11 requires netting of unrecognized tax benefits against a deferred tax asset for a loss or other carryforward that would apply in settlement of the uncertain tax position. ASU 2013-11 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Retrospective adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2013-11 will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

49



In July 2013, the Company adopted ASU 2013-02, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.”  ASU 2013-02 requires entities to disclose the amount of income (loss) reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income to each respective line item on the income statement. The guidance allows companies to elect whether to disclose the reclassification either on the face of the income statement or in the notes to the financial statements, including cross-referencing other disclosures which provide additional details about these amounts.

NOTE 2. SEPARATION OF DEALER SERVICES

On April 10, 2014, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a plan to spin-off the Company’s Dealer Services business into an independently publicly-traded company through a tax-free spin-off of 100% of Dealer Services to ADP shareholders. The Company has requested an opinion from Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP, its counsel, to the effect that, based on certain facts, assumptions, representations and undertakings set forth in the request, the distribution will qualify as a transaction that is tax-free under Section 355 and other related provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. The distribution is conditioned upon, among other things, the receipt by the Company of such a favorable opinion of counsel confirming the distribution’s tax-free status. The separation is subject to other conditions, including necessary regulatory approvals. ADP has also requested rulings from the IRS and other jurisdictions with respect to certain discrete and significant issues arising in connection with the transactions being effected in connection with the separation and distribution.

On June 10, 2014, Dealer Services (under the name of “Dealer Services Holdings LLC”) filed a registration statement on Form 10 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Additionally, Dealer Services Holdings LLC filed an amendment to its Form 10 on July 25, 2014. The financial presentation of Dealer Services in the Form 10 differs from the financial presentation of the Dealer Services segment in ADP’s financial statements due to adjustments made in the Form 10 to reflect the additional corporate expenses and other operating costs of Dealer Services as if it were a stand-alone company.
Upon completion of the spin-off, ADP shareholders will have separate ownership interests in ADP and Dealer Services. ADP and Dealer Services will be two distinct businesses with separate ownership and management. To facilitate Dealer Services’ separation from ADP, ADP will provide certain services to Dealer Services during a transition period following completion of the spin-off. ADP expects to incur approximately $40.0 million to $50.0 million of incremental separation costs during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015 ("fiscal 2015") related to the spin-off. Incremental costs associated with the spin-off of $14.9CDK and divestiture of P2P of $50.1 million for fiscal 20142015 are included in separation costsdiscontinued operations on the Statements of Consolidated Earnings and are principally related to professional services.Earnings.

NOTE 4. SERVICE ALIGNMENT INITIATIVE

On July 28, 2016, the Company announced a Service Alignment Initiative that is intended to simplify the Company's service organization by aligning the Company's service operations to its strategic platforms and locations. In fiscal 2016, the Company entered into leases in Norfolk, Virginia and Maitland, Florida, and in October 2016, the Company entered into a lease in Tempe, Arizona as part of this effort. The Company began incurring charges for this initiative during the first quarter of the fiscal year and expects to continue to incur charges through the year ended June 30, 2018 ("fiscal 2018") as the initiative is executed. The charges primarily relate to employee separation benefits recognized under ASC 712, and also include charges for the relocation of certain current Company employees, lease termination costs, and accelerated depreciation of fixed assets. The Company expects to recognize pre-tax restructuring charges of about $30 million in fiscal 2018, consisting primarily of cash expenditures for employee separation benefits.

During the fourth quarter(A) The goodwill balance at June 30, 2015 is net of fiscal 2013, the Company recorded anaccumulated impairment chargelosses of $42.7 million related to the ADP AdvancedMD reporting unit. The goodwill impairment was due to a decrease in the estimated fair value of the business resulting from a decline in the new business bookings growth and profitability projections of the business.

The remeasurement of goodwill is classified as a Level 3 fair value assessment due to the significance of unobservable inputs developed using Company-specific information. The Company determined the fair value utilizing the income approach and the market approach. Under the income approach, the Company calculated the fair value based on the present value of the estimated cash flows. Cash flow projections were based on management's estimates of revenue growth rates and net operating income margins, taking into consideration market and industry conditions. The discount rate used is based on the weighted-average cost of capital adjusted for the risk, size premium, and business specific characteristics related to the business's ability to execute on the projected cash flows. Under the market approach, the Company evaluated the fair value based on market multiples of revenue and earnings derived from comparable publicly-traded companies with similar operating and investment characteristics as the reporting unit. The unobservable inputs used to measure the fair value included projected revenue growth rates, profitability projections, working capital assumptions, the weighted average cost of capital, the determination of appropriate market comparison companies, and terminal growth rates.

In fiscal 2013, since the annual impairment test indicated that ADP AdvancedMD's carrying value exceeded its estimated fair value, a second phase of the goodwill impairment test ("Step 2") was performed specific to this business. Under Step 2, the fair values of all assets and liabilities were estimated, including tangible assets, existing technology, customer lists, and trademarks for the purpose of deriving an estimate of the implied fair value of goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill was then compared to the recorded goodwill to determine the amount of impairment. Assumptions used in measuring the value of these assets and liabilities included the discount rates, royalty rates, and attrition rates used in valuing the intangible assets. Upon completion of the annual test, the ADP AdvancedMD reporting unit was determined to be impaired. ADP AdvancedMD is currently reported in our Employer Services segment.

There were no accumulated goodwill impairments as of June 30, 2012.

Stock-based compensation expense attributable to employees of the discontinued operations are included in discontinued operations on the Statements of Consolidated Earnings and therefore not presented in the table above. For fiscal 2015 such stock-based compensation expense was $5.5 million.



As a result of the spin-off of CDK, the number of vested and unvested ADP stock options, their strike price, and the number of unvested performance-based and time-based restricted shares and units were adjusted to preserve the intrinsic value of the awards immediately prior to the spin-off using an adjustment ratio based on the market close price of ADP stock prior to the spin-off and the market open price of ADP stock subsequent to the spin-off. Since these adjustments were considered to be a modification of the awards in accordance to ASC 718, "Stock Compensation," the Company compared the fair value of the awards immediately prior to the spin-off to the fair value immediately after the spin-off to measure potential incremental stock-based compensation expense, if any. The adjustments did not result in an increase in the fair value of the awards and, accordingly, the Company did not record incremental stock-based compensation expense. Unvested ADP stock options, unvested restricted stock, and unvested restricted stock units held by CDK employees were replaced by CDK awards immediately following the spin-off. The stock-based compensation expense associated with the original grant of ADP awards to remaining ADP employees will continue to be recognized within earnings from continuing operations in the Company's Statements of Consolidated Earnings.

As of June 30, 2014,2017, the total remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options, restricted stock units, and restricted stock awards amounted to $16.8$12.6 million,, $26.7 $27.9 million,, and $89.9$60.7 million,, respectively, which will be amortized over the weighted-average remaining requisite service periods of 2.12.3 years,, 1.3 years,, and 1.31.1 years,, respectively.

The aggregate intrinsic value of outstanding stock options outstanding and exercisable stock options as of June 30, 20142017 was $216.9112.6 million and $185.161.2 million, respectively, which hashave a remaining life of 5.47.2 years and 3.45.4 years,, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value for stock options exercised in fiscal 2014, 2013,2017, 2016, and 20122015 was $156.370.9 million, $135.185.4 million, and $83.8$125.3 million,, respectively.

The fair value of each stock option issued is estimated on the date of grant using a binomial option pricing model.  The binomial model considers a range of assumptions related to volatility, risk-free interest rate, and employee exercise behavior.  Expected volatilities utilized in the binomial model are based on a combination of implied market volatilities, historical volatility of the Company’s stock price, and other factors.  Similarly, the dividend yield is based on historical experience and expected future changes. The risk-free rate is derived from the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.  The binomial model also incorporates exercise and forfeiture assumptions based on an analysis of historical data.  The expected life of the stock option grant is derived from the output of the binomial model and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding.

The fair value for stock options granted was estimated at the date of grant using the following assumptions:

B.  Pension Plans

The Company has a defined benefit cash balance pension plan covering substantially all U.S. employees, under which employees are credited with a percentage of base pay plus interest. Effective January 1, 2015, associates hired on or after this date are not eligible to participate in this pension plan. In addition, associates rehired on or after January 1, 2015 will no longer be eligible to earn additional contributions but will continue to earn interest on any balance that remains in the pension plan. The plan interest credit rate varies from year-to-year based on the ten-yearten-year U.S. Treasury rate. Employees are fully vested upon completion of three years of service. The Company's policy is to make contributions within the range determined by generally accepted actuarial principles. In addition, the

The Company also has various retirement plans for its non-U.S. employees and maintains a Supplemental Officers Retirement Plan (“SORP”). The SORP is a defined benefit plan pursuant to which the Company pays supplemental pension benefits to certain keycorporate officers upon retirement based upon the officers' years of service and compensation. The SORP, which is currently closed to new entrants, will be frozen effective July 1, 2019. Benefits under the plan will continue to accrue through June 30, 2019, and as of July 1, 2019 and onward, participants will retain their accrued benefits with no future accruals due to pay and/or service.

A June 30 measurement date was used in determining the Company's benefit obligations and fair value of plan assets.
The Company is required to (a) recognize in its Consolidated Balance Sheets an asset for a plan's net overfunded status or a liability for a plan's net underfunded status, (b) measure a plan's assets and its obligations that determine its funded status as of the end of the employer's fiscal year, and (c) recognize changes in the funded status of a defined benefit plan in the year in which the changes occur in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

The investment strategy and asset mix were developed in coordination with an asset liability study conducted by external consultants to maximize the funded ratio

64



with the least amount of volatility. In fiscal 2013, the Company revised the target asset allocation of the U.S. pension plan to include global equities as a separate asset class to enhance the diversification of overall pension plan investments.

The pension plans' assets are currently invested in various asset classes with differing expected rates of return, correlations, and volatilities, including large capitalization and small capitalization U.S. equities, international equities, U.S. fixed income securities, and cash.

The target asset allocation ranges for the U.S. plan are generally as follows:
U.S. fixed income securities35% - 45%
U.S. equity securities14% - 24%
International equity securities11% - 21%
Global equity securities20% - 30%

The pension plans' fixed income portfolio is designed to match the duration and liquidity characteristics of the pension plans' liabilities. In addition, the pension plans invest only in investment-grade debt securities to ensure preservation of capital. The pension plans' equity portfolios are subject to diversification guidelines to reduce the impact of losses in single investments. Investment managers are prohibited from buying or selling commodities and from the short selling of securities.

None of the pension plans' assets are directly invested in the Company's stock, although the pension plans may hold a minimal amount of Company stock to the extent of the Company's participation in the S&P 500 Index.equity indices.

The pension plans' investments included in Level 1 are valued using closing prices for identical instruments that are traded on active exchanges. The pension plans' investments included in Level 2 are valued utilizing inputs obtained from an independent pricing service, which are reviewed by the Company for reasonableness. To determine the fair value of our Level 2 plan assets, a variety of inputs are utilized, including benchmark yields, reported trades, non-binding broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers, reference data, new issue data, and monthly payment information. The pension plans have no Level 3 investments at June 30, 2014.2017.

outside of the United States. The additional U.S. income tax that would arise on repatriation of the remaining undistributed earnings could be offset, in part, by foreign tax credits on such repatriation. However, it is impracticable to estimate the amount of net income tax that might be payable.

The Company has estimated foreign net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $105.571.7 million as of June 30, 2014,2017, of which $47.3$17.3 million expire through 20342025 and $58.254.4 million hashave an indefinite utilization period.

The amount that, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate is $31.261.0 million, $38.818.7 million, and $43.716.9 million, respectively. The remainder, if recognized, would principally impact deferred taxes.

The Company regularly considers the likelihood of assessments resulting from examinations in each of the jurisdictions. The resolution of tax matters is not expected to have a material effect on the consolidated financial condition of the Company, although a resolution could have a material impact on the Company's Statements of Consolidated Earnings for a particular future period and on the Company's effective tax rate.

If certain pending tax matters settle within the next twelve months, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits may increase or decrease for all open tax years and jurisdictions. Based on current estimates, settlements related to various jurisdictions and tax periods could increase earnings up to $1035 million in the next twelve months. Audit outcomes and the timing of audit settlements are subject to significant uncertainty. We continually assess the likelihood and amount of potential adjustments and adjust the income tax provision, the current tax liability and deferred taxes in the period in which the facts that give rise to a revision become known.

NOTE 15. FINANCIAL DATA BY SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC AREA

Based upon similar economic and operational characteristics, the Company’s strategic business units have been aggregated into the following threetwo reportable segments: Employer Services PEO Services, and DealerPEO Services.  The primary components of “Other” are non-recurring gains and losses, miscellaneous processing services, the “Other” segment areelimination of intercompany transactions, interest expense, the results of operations of ADP Indemnity (a wholly-owned captive insurance company that provides workers’ compensation and employer’semployee’s liability deductible reimbursement insurance protection for PEO ServicesServices’ worksite employees), non-recurring gains and losses, miscellaneous processing services, such as customer financing transactions, and certain charges and expenses that have not been allocated to the reportable segments, such asand the historical results of the AMD business. Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company's chief operating decision maker began reviewing the Company's results with stock-based compensation expense,included in the fiscal 2014 separation costs relatedCompany's operating segments. This change, as well as changes to the planned separation of Dealer Services,allocation methodology for certain allocations, has been adjusted in both the current period and the fiscal 2013 goodwill impairment charge.prior period in the table below, and did not materially affect reportable segment results. The Company also adjusted the segment results to reflect the historical results of AMD in Other, which also did not materially affect reportable segment results.

Certain revenues and expenses are charged to the reportable segments at a standard rate for management reasons.  Other costs are recorded based on management responsibility.  There is a reconciling item for the difference between actual interest income earned on invested funds held for clients and interest credited to Employer Services and PEO Services at a standard rate of 4.5%.  This allocation is made for management reasons so that the reportable segments' results are presented on a consistent basis without the impact of fluctuations in interest rates. This reconciling adjustment to the reportable segments' revenues and earnings from continuing operations before income taxes is eliminated in consolidation.

To align financial reporting with the manner in which the Company's chief operating decision maker assesses performance and makes decisions about resources to be allocated to the reportable segments, effective July 1, 2013, the Company no longer allocates a cost of capital charge to its reportable segments and no longer adjusts the operating results of its reportable segments on a constant exchange rate basis.  As a result of these changes, all prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.  These changes did not significantly affect reportable segment results.

This “Controls and Procedures” section should be read in conjunction with the report of Deloitte & Touche LLP that appears on page 77 ofin this Annual Report on Form 10-K and is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
Management's Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company carried out an evaluation (the “evaluation”), under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act.

Based on the evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 20142017 in ensuring that (i) information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and (ii) such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
Management has performed an assessment of the effectiveness of ADP'sADP’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 20142017 based upon criteria set forth in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (1992)(2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Automatic Data Processing, Inc.
Roseland, New Jersey

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Automatic Data Processing, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of June 30, 2014,2017, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (1992)(2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management'sManagement’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company's principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company's board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2014,2017, based on the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (1992)(2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial statement schedule as of and for the year ended June 30, 20142017 of the Company and our report dated August 8, 20144, 2017, expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial statement schedule.
