CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form10-Q (“Form10-Q”) contains, or incorporates by reference, not only historical information, but also forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”) and that are subject to the safe harbor created by those sections. Forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, statements concerning the conditions of the human capital management (“HCM”) solutions industry and our operations, performance, and financial condition, including, in particular, statements relating to our business, growth strategies, product development efforts, and future expenses. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “seeks,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “assumes,” “projects,” “could,” “may,” “will,” “should,” and similar references to future periods, or by the inclusion of forecasts or projections. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements we make regarding the outlook for our future business and financial performance, such as those contained in Part I, Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

Forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the economy, and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, by their nature, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks, and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. As a result, our actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include regional, national, or global political, economic, business, competitive, market, and regulatory conditions and the following:

 

the impact of the Coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) pandemic on our business, operations, and financial results;

our inability to attain or to maintain profitability;

significant competition for our solutions;

our inability to continue to develop or to sell our existing Cloud solutions;

our inability to manage our growth effectively;

the risk that we may not be able to successfully migrate our Bureau customers to our Cloud solutions or to offset the decline in Bureau revenue with Cloud revenue;

the decline or slower than expected development of the market for enterprise cloud computing;

failure of our inability to attain or to maintain profitability;

significant competition for our solutions;

our inability to continue to develop or to sell our existing Cloud solutions;

our inability to manage our growth effectively;

the risk that we may not be able to successfully migrate our Bureau customers to our Cloud

solutions or to offset the decline in Bureau revenue with Cloud revenue;

the market for enterprise cloud computing develops slower than we expect or declines;

efforts to increase use of our Cloud solutions and our other applications may not succeed;

our failure to provide enhancements and new features and modifications to our solutions;

failure to comply with the Federal Trade Commission’s (“FTC”) ongoing consent order regarding data protection;

system interruptions or failures, including cyber-security breaches, identity theft, or other disruptions that could compromise our information;

our failure to comply with applicable privacy, security, data, and financial services laws, regulations and standards;

changes in regulations governing financial services, privacy concerns, and laws or other domestic or foreign data protection regulations;

the risk of loss caused by customer failure to repay distribution of earned net wages and associated tax amounts made on behalf of our customers for our Dayforce Wallet or other services;

our inability to successfully expand our current offerings into new markets or further penetrate existing markets;

our inability to meet the more complex configuration and integration demands of our large customers;

reductions in our customers’ employment levels or other overall declines in the financial viability of our current and prospective customers;

the risk of our customers declining to renew their agreements with us or renewing at lower performance fee levels;

our failure to manage our technical operations infrastructure;

our inability to maintain necessary third party relationships and third party software licenses, and identify errors in the software we license;

our inability to protect our intellectual property rights, proprietary technology, information, processes, and know-how;

our failure to keep pace with rapid technological changes and evolving industry standards;

general economic, political and market forces beyond our control; or

changes in laws and regulations related to the Internet or changes in the Internet infrastructure itself.

we fail to provide enhancements and new features and modifications to our solutions;

failure to comply withmost recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the Federal Trade Commission’syear ended December 31, 2019 (“FTC”2019 Form 10-K”) ongoing consent order regarding data protection;

system interruptions or failures, including cyber-security breaches, identity theft, or other disruptions that could compromise our information;

our failure to comply with applicable privacy, security and data laws, regulations and standards;

changes in regulations governing privacy concerns and laws or other domestic or foreign data protection regulations;

we are unable to successfully expand our current offerings into new markets or further penetrate existing markets;

our inability to protect our intellectual property rights, proprietary technology, information, processes, andknow-how;

we fail to keep pace with rapid technological changes and evolving industry standards; or

changes in laws and regulations related to the Internet or changes in the Internet infrastructure itself.

See Part II. Item IA. “Risk Factors”, for a further description of these and other factors. Although we have attempted to identify important risk factors, there may be other risk factors not presently known to us or that we presently believe are not material that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this Form10-Q. If any of these risks materialize, or if any of the above assumptions underlying forward-looking statements prove incorrect, actual results and developments may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this Form10-Q. For the reasons described above, we caution you against relying on any forward-looking statements, which should also be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included elsewhere in this Form10-Q.statements. Any forward-looking statement made by us in this Form 10-Q speaks only as of the date on which we make it. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or to revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments, or otherwise, except as may be required by law. Comparisons of results for current and any prior periods are not intended to express any future trends or indications of future performance, unless specifically expressed as such, and should be viewed as historical data.

Ceridian HCM Holding Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited, dollars in millions, except share and per share data) (Unaudited)

1. Organization

Ceridian HCM Holding Inc. and its subsidiaries (also referred to in this report as “Ceridian,” “we,” “our,” and “us”“us,” or the “Company”) offer a broad range of services and software designed to help employers to more effectively manage employment processes, such as payroll, payroll-related tax filing, human resource information systems, employee self-service, time and labor management, employee assistance programs, and recruitment and applicant screening. Our technology-based services are typically provided through long-term customer relationships that result in a high level of recurring revenue. Our operations are primarily located in the United States (“U.S.”) and Canada.

AsOn August 28, 2020, we completed a secondary offering in which certain of March 31, 2018, Ceridian owned a controlling financial interest in a joint venture, WorkAngel Organisation Limited (“LifeWorks”) (the “Joint Venture Company”), which offers an employee engagement platform that delivers employee assistance programs, social recognition, exclusive perks and discounts, a private social network, employee and corporate wellness, and employee engagement analytics in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. Prior to the formation of the joint venture, employee assistance programs were provided by Ceridian. On January 20, 2017, WorkAngel Organisation Limited changed its name to LifeWorks Corporation Ltd. On April 30, 2018, we distributed our ownership interest in the Joint Venture Company to our stockholders (the “Selling Stockholders”) sold 7,717,347 shares of record (the “LifeWorks Disposition”) prior to our initialcommon stock in an underwritten public offering (“IPO”). Please refer to Note 19, “Subsequent Events,” for further discussion of the LifeWorks Disposition.

As of March 31, 2018, Ceridian HCM Holding Inc. was primarily owned by Ceridian LLC (the “Parent”) and Ceridian Holding II LLC (“Ceridian Holding II”). The Parent was 100% owned by Foundation Holding LLC, which in turn was 100% owned by Ceridian Holding LLC (“Ceridian Holding”).

The owners of Ceridian Holding and Ceridian Holding II included (i) affiliates andco-investors of Thomas H. Lee Partners, L.P. (“THL Partners”) and Cannae Holdings, LLC (“Cannae”) (THL Partners and Cannae are together referred to as the “Sponsors”), who collectively owned approximately 96% of the outstanding interests of both Ceridian Holding and Ceridian Holding II, and (ii) other individuals, who collectively owned approximately 4% of the outstanding interests of each holding company. The Sponsors initially acquired their indirect ownership interest in Ceridian Holding on November 9, 2007, when the Sponsors completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding equity of the Ceridian entities (the “2007 Merger”). The Sponsors acquired their ownership interest in Ceridian Holding II on March 30, 2016, when the Sponsors and other individuals purchased equity in Ceridian Holding II, which in turn purchased equity in Ceridian HCM Holding Inc. This equity financing transaction with Ceridian Holding II raised $150.2, of which $75.0 was contributed by Ceridian Holding II to Ceridian HCM Holding Inc. on March 30, 2016. The remaining $75.2 was committed to be funded to Ceridian HCM Holding Inc. within the following three years, and during the second quarter of 2017, the Board of Directors of Ceridian Holding II approved the funding of the remaining $75.2, which was transferred to Ceridian HCM Holding Inc. on June 28, 2017.

On April 30, 2018, we completed our IPO, in which we issued and sold 21,000,000 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $22.00$72.18 per share.  We grantedAll proceeds from the underwriters a30-day option to purchase an additional 3,150,000 sharessale of this common stock at the offering price, which was exercised in full. A total of 24,150,000 shares of common stock were issued on April 30, 2018. Concurrently, we issued 4,545,455 shares of our common stock in a private placement at $22.00 per share. We received gross proceeds of $631.3 from the IPO and concurrent private placement before deducting underwriting discounts, commissions, and other offering related expenses. Subsequentwent to the IPOselling stockholders. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we incurred $0.4 million of expenses related to the August 28, 2020, secondary offering.  Expenses associated with our secondary offering are recorded within selling, general and concurrent private placement, we completed an internal corporate reorganization, pursuant to which the limited liability companies that hold sharesadministrative expense in us were merged with and into Ceridian HCM Holding Inc. At the time of these transactions, these limited liability companies had no assets other than equity interests in us or the other limited liability companies. As a result of these transactions, our previous stockholders now hold shares of our common stock directly, rather than through a series of limited liability companies. These transactions had no impact on our assets, liabilities, or operations. Please refer to Note 19, “Subsequent Events,” for further discussion of the IPO and concurrent private placement. The condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2018, including share and per share amounts, do not give effect to the IPO, the concurrent private placement, or the internal reorganization, as the IPO and such transactions were completed subsequent to March 31, 2018.operations.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, theythe unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The accounting policies we follow are set forth in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” to Ceridian’s audited consolidated financial statements, included in our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2017 (our “2017 Annual Report”), included withinin our prospectus dated April 25, 2018, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 26, 2018, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (FileNo. 333-223905) (the “Prospectus”).2019 Form 10-K. The following notes should be read in conjunction with suchthese policies and other disclosures in our 2017 Annual Report and Prospectus.2019 Form 10-K.

In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, except as set forth in these notes to condensed consolidated financial statements) necessary to present fairly in all material aspects the financial position, results of operations, comprehensive loss,income (loss), and cash flows from all periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

Reverse Stock Split

On April 10, 2018, we effected a1-for-2 reverse stock split of our common stock. All of the common share and per share information referenced throughout this interim report have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this reverse stock split. Please refer to Note 19, “Subsequent Events,” for further discussion of other transactions occurring after period end which are not reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates that could significantly affect our results of operations or financial condition involve the assignment of fair values to goodwill and other intangible assets, the testing of impairment of long-lived assets, the determination of our liability for pensions and postretirement benefits, the determination of fair value of stock options granted, and the resolution of tax matters and legal contingencies. Please refer to our 2017 Annual Report for a further discussion of these estimates.

Internally Developed Software Costs

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350, we capitalize costs associated with software developed or obtained for internal use when both the preliminary project stage is completed and our management has authorized further funding for the project, which it deems probable of completion. Capitalized software costs include only: (1) external direct costs of materials and services consumed in developing or obtaining the software; (2) payroll and payroll-related costs for employees who are directly associated with and who devote time to the project; and (3) interest costs incurred while developing the software. Capitalization of these costs ceases no later than the point at which the project is substantially complete and ready for its intended purpose. We do not include general and administrative costs and overhead costs in capitalizable costs. We charge researchResearch and development costs, product management, and other software maintenance costs related to software development to earningsare expensed as incurred.

Deferred Costs

Foreign Currency Translation

We have international operations whereby the local currencies serve as functional currencies. We translate foreign currency denominatedDeferred costs, which primarily consist of deferred sales commissions, included within Other assets and liabilities at theend-of-period exchange rates and foreign currency denominated statements of operations at the weighted-average exchange rates for each period. We report the effect of changes in the U.S. dollar carrying values of assets and liabilities ofon our international operations that are due to changes in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and their functional currency as foreign currency translation within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the accompanying condensed consolidated statementsbalance sheets were $118.8 million and $106.4 million as of comprehensive income (loss).

Amortization expense for the deferred costs was $9.8 million and translation of assets$8.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, and liabilities denominated in currencies other than2019, respectively, and $27.9 million and $23.5 million for the functional currency of the international operation are recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations within other expense, net.nine months ended September 30, 2020, and 2019 respectively.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,2018-14, “Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans,” which replaced all existing revenue guidance created by ASC Topic 606, including prescriptive industry-specific guidance.modifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. This standard’s core principle isupdate removes disclosures that an entity will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or servicesare no longer considered cost beneficial, adds disclosures identified as relevant, and clarifies certain specific requirements of

10


Table of Contents

disclosures to customers in an amount that reflectsimprove the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Entities will need to apply more judgment and make more estimates than under the previous guidance. In July 2015 the FASB deferred the effective date for all entities by one year, making the guidance fornon-public companies effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption was permitted to the original effective dateeffectiveness of December 15, 2016 (including interim reporting periods within that reporting period). The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933 for complying with new or revised accounting standards. An emerging growth company can, therefore, delay adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. Management has chosen to take advantage of this extended transition period to adopt ASU2014-09 beginning in the first quarter of 2019. Management anticipates using the retrospective method for adoption.

In preparation for this planned adoption, we have been evaluating the impact of the new standard to our financial statements and accompanying disclosures in the notes to our consolidated financial statements. Our assessmentThe amendments in this update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. The amendments in this update should be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. The adoption of this guidance will not have a significant impact on our annual defined benefit plan and other postretirement plan disclosures.

In March 2020, the impact includesFASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform,” which provides guidance for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments in this guidance apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The amendments in this guidance provide for an evaluationoptional method in which modifications of the five-step process set forth in the new standard along with the enhancement of disclosures that will be required. To date, we have developed our initial plan for implementing the standard, which includes identifying customer contracts within the scope of ASC Topic 310, Receivables, and ASC Topic 470, Debt, should be accounted for by prospectively adjusting the new standard, identifying performance obligations within those customer contracts,effective interest rate, in addition to several other optional methods and evaluating the impact of incremental variable consideration paid to obtain those customer contracts. We have also undertaken a comprehensive review of all contracts that fall under the scope of the new standard; and, as of the date ofexceptions. The amendments in this report, we have substantially completed our review ofin-scope contracts.

Based on analysis performed to date, we expect that adoption of the new standard will result in changes to the classification and timing of our revenue recognition. Specifically, we expect an increase in revenue classified as professional services and other revenue and a reduction in revenue classified as recurring services revenue under the new standard, as compared to current U.S. GAAP. Further, we expect that the new standard will result in changes to the timing of our revenue recognition compared to current U.S. GAAP. In compliance with the new standard, a contractual asset will be reflected on the consolidated balance sheets and will be amortized over the customers’ period of benefit, which is generally three years. We also expect changes to the timing of certain incremental selling, general, and administrative expenses, as the new standard will also require capitalizing and amortizing certain selling expenses, such as commissions and bonuses paid to the sales force. These sales expenses will be amortized over the customer’s period of benefit.

In periods of revenue growth, the changes aboveupdate are expected to result in higher overall earnings before income taxes and net income when compared to current U.S. GAAP. We have not yet determined the impact of the disclosure requirements.

The following table presents the anticipated impacts that the adoption of ASC 606 would have for the periods presented:

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2016-02, “Leases,” which is intended to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. This standard requires balance sheet recognition for both finance leases and operating leases. This guidance is effective fornon-public companies for fiscal years all entities beginning after December 15, 2019,March 12, 2020 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The guidance is requiredare available to be adopted using a modified retrospective approach. An entity will, in effect, continue to account for leases that commence before the effective date in accordance with previous U.S. GAAP unless the lease is modified, except that lessees are required to recognize aright-of-use asset and a lease liability for all operating leases at each reporting date based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments that were tracked and disclosed under previous U.S. GAAP.used through December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating the impact ofdo not expect the adoption of this standard.

In February 2018 the FASB issued ASU2018-02, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income,” which is in responseguidance to a narrow-scope financial reporting issue that arose because of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The amendment in this update allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. This amendment is intended to improve the usefulness of information reported to financial statement users by requiring certain disclosures about stranded tax effects. The amendment in this update is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard. Please refer to Note 14, “Income Taxes,” for further discussion of this new guidance.

3. Discontinued Operations

Sale of Divested Benefits Continuation Businesses

In the third quarter of 2013, we entered into an agreement for the sale of certain of our customer contracts for consumer-directed benefit services, including flexible spending accounts, health reimbursement accounts, health savings accounts, commuter (parking or transit) premium-only plans, and tuition reimbursement plans (collectively, the “Consumer-Directed Benefit Services”). During the third quarter of 2015, we completed two separate transactions that resulted in the sale of our benefits administration and post-employment health insurance portability compliance businesses (the “Divested Benefits Continuation Businesses”).

These three transactions represented a strategic shift in our overall business and have had a significant impact on our financial statements.

3. Business Combinations

On May 29, 2020, we completed the purchase of 100% of the outstanding shares of Excelity Global Solutions Pte. Ltd. (“Excelity”) for $77.2 million. Excelity is a human capital management service provider in the Asia-Pacific region.

The financial statement results. Accordingly, the Divested Benefits Continuation Businesses, as well as the Consumer-Directed Benefit Services,results of Excelity have been presented as discontinued operationsincluded within the HCM segment in theour condensed consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date forward and accompanying notes for all periods presented.are classified as a Bureau solution. The amounts in the table below reflect the operating results and gain on saleacquisition of the Divested Benefits Continuation Businesses reported as discontinued operations, as well as supplemental disclosures of the discontinued operations:

We are continuing our review of these items during the measurement period, and December 31, 2017, are immaterial amounts included in Other accrued expenses in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

4. Noncontrolling Interest

On March 1, 2016, we entered into a strategic joint venture with WorkAngel Technology Limited (“WorkAngel”) in which we contributed our existing LifeWorks business to a newly formed English limited company (WorkAngel Organisation Limited orif new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed at the “Joint Venture Company”). On January 20, 2017, WorkAngel Organisation Limited changed its name to LifeWorks Corporation Ltd. We have a controlling interest in the Joint Venture Company, including certain preferential distribution rights; therefore, the Joint Venture Company is consolidated within our financial statements, and the other joint venture ownership interest component is presented as a noncontrolling interest.

Shareholder distributions will occur upon a liquidation event, as defined by the joint venture agreement. We hold alleffective date of the Class A shares, and former WorkAngel shareholders hold allacquisition, the acquisition accounting will be revised to reflect the resulting adjustments to the current estimate of these items. After consideration of the Class B shares. HoldersExcelity acquisition, management has concluded that we continue to have 1 operating and reportable segment. This conclusion aligns with how management monitors operating performance, allocates resources, and deploys capital.  

The major classes of Class A shares will have rights to 75 percent of the distributions up to $250 million, 25 percent of the distributions between $250 and $500 million, and 50 percent thereafter. Holders of Class B shares have rights to the remaining distributions. Income attributable to noncontrolling interest has been calculated by applying the Class B distribution percentages to the joint venture earnings as reported on a stand-alone basis. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, and 2017, there was loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest of $0.5 and $0.0, respectively.

On April 30, 2018, we distributed our ownership interest in the Joint Venture Company to our stockholders of record prior to our IPO. Please refer to Note 19, “Subsequent Events,” for further discussion of the LifeWorks Disposition.

5. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). U.S. GAAP outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy intended to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and the related disclosures. Certain assets and liabilities must be measured at fair value, and disclosures are required for items measured at fair value.

We measure our financial instruments using inputs fromto which we allocated the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy. The three levels arepurchase price were as follows:

 

Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 3 inputs include unobservable inputs that reflect our assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. These inputs are developed based on the best information available, including internal data.

6.5. Customer Trust Funds

Overview

In connection with our U.S. and Canadian payroll and tax filing services, we collect funds for payment of payroll and taxes; temporarily hold such funds in trust until payment is due; remit the funds to the clients’ employees and appropriate taxing authority; file federal, state and local tax returns; and handle related regulatory correspondence and amendments. The assets held in trust are intended for the specific purpose of satisfying client fund obligations and therefore are not freely available for our general business use.

Our customer trust funds are held and invested with the primary objectives being to ensure adequate liquidity to meet cash flow requirements and to protect the principal balance. In accordance with these objectives, we maintain on average approximately 45% of customer trust funds in liquidity portfolios with maturities ranging from one to 120 days, consisting of high-quality bank deposits, money market mutual funds, commercial paper, or collateralized short-term investments; and we maintain on average approximately 55% of customer trust funds in fixed income portfolios with maturities ranging from 120 days to 10 years, consisting of U.S. Treasury and agency securities, Canada government and provincial securities, as well as highly rated asset-backed, mortgage-backed, municipal, corporate and bank securities. To maintain sufficient liquidity in the trust to meet payment obligations, we also have financing arrangements and may pledge fixed income securities for short-term financing.

Financial Statement Presentation

(a)These investments have been in an unrealized loss position; however, the amount of unrealized loss is less than $0.05.

Management does not believe that any individual unrealized loss was unrecoverable as of March 31, 2018, represents an other-than-temporary impairment.September 30, 2020. The unrealized losses are primarily attributable to changes in interest rates and not to credit deterioration. We currently do not intend to sell or expect to be required to sell the securities before the time required to recover the amortized cost.

The amortized cost and fair value of investment securities available for sale at March 31, 2018,September 30, 2020, by contractual maturity are shown below. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or to prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

Senior Secured Credit Facility

On April 30, 2018, Ceridian enteredcompleted the refinancing of its debt by entering into a new credit agreement dated as of November 14, 2014, pursuantagreement. Pursuant to the terms of whichthe new credit agreement, Ceridian became borrower of (i) a $702.0$680.0 million term loan debt facility (the “Term“2018 Term Debt”) and (ii) a $130.0$300.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving“2018 Revolving Credit Facility”) (the 2018 Term Debt and the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility are together referred to as the “Senior“2018 Senior Secured Credit Facility”). The 2018 Senior Secured Credit Facility is secured by substantially all assets of Ceridian and is senior to Ceridian’s other debt.Ceridian. The 2018 Term Debt has a maturity date of September 2020,April 30, 2025, and the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility has a maturity date of April 30, 2023. The 2018 Term Debt was initially subject to an interest rate of LIBOR plus 3.25%. As a result of a ratings upgrade on March 26, 2019, of our senior secured credit facilities by Moody’s Investors Service, from B3 to B2, the Company’s floating rate term debt interest rate has been reduced from LIBOR plus 3.25% to LIBOR plus 3.00%, so long as the rating is maintained.On February 19, 2020, Ceridian completed the first amendment to the 2018 Senior Secured Credit Facility in which the 2018 Term Debt interest rate was reduced from LIBOR plus 3.00% to LIBOR plus 2.50%. Further, the interest rate trigger under the applicable rating by Moody’s Investor Service was removed by the first amendment.Accrued interest related to the 2018 Senior Secured Credit Facility was $0.4million and $0.1 million as of September 2019. During the three months ended March30, 2020, and December 31, 2018, Ceridian made a final mandatorypre-payment of $0.3 towards the principal2019, respectively, and is included within Other accrued expenses in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

On April 2, 2020, in light of the Term Debtuncertainty and volatility in the global financial markets resulting from the proceeds received fromCOVID-19 pandemic, Ceridian elected to borrow $295.0 million under the 2016 sale of2018 Revolving Credit Facility as a precautionary measure to increase our United Kingdomcash position and Ireland business.to preserve financial flexibility.

Senior Notes

Ceridian issued its senior notes due 2021 (“Senior Notes”) on October 1, 2013, in the principal amount of $475.0 guaranteed by Parent and its payment systems business unit (“Comdata”). In connection with the Parent’s divestiture of Comdata on November 14, 2014, Ceridian met the credit conditions to allow the Senior Notes to transition to stand-alone obligations of Ceridian. The Senior Notes are unsecured.

The performance criteria for all outstanding performance-based stock options under the 2007 SIP and the 2013 SIP was met on June 7, 2018, resulting in the vesting of all outstanding performance-based stock options under the 2007 SIP and the 2013 SIP on this date.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, 1,500,000 performance-based stock options (“Performance Option Award”) were granted under the 2018 EIP with an exercise price of $65.26. The vesting conditions for the Performance Option Award are based on the Company’s performance on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) with 750,000 shares available to vest when the Company’s per share closing price on the NYSE meets or exceeds $110.94, or 1.7 times the exercise price, for ten consecutive trading days, and the remaining 750,000 shares are available to vest when the Company’s per share closing price on the NYSE meets or exceeds $130.52, or 2.0 times the exercise price, for ten consecutive trading days. The Performance Option Award has a minimum time-based vesting period of 3 years. The vesting conditions must be achieved prior to May 8, 2025, or any unvested portion of the Performance Option Award will terminate. A Monte Carlo simulation model was used to determine the fair value of these performance-based stock options. The Monte Carlo model utilizes multiple input variables that determine the probability of satisfying the market conditions stipulated in the award. We have estimated an expected term of 5.3 years, based on the vesting period and contractual term.

Our Solutions

We categorize our solutions into two categories: Cloud and Bureau offerings.

Cloud revenue is generated from solutions that are delivered via 2 cloud offerings, Dayforce and Powerpay. The Dayforce offering is differentiated from our market competition as being a single application with continuous calculation that offers a comprehensive range of functionality, including global human resource, payroll, benefits, workforce management, and talent management on web and native iOS and Android platforms. Dayforce recurring revenue is primarily generated from monthly recurring fees charged on a per-employee, per-month (“PEPM”) basis and the allocation of investment income generated from holding Dayforce customer funds in trust before funds are remitted to taxing authorities, Dayforce customer employees, or other third parties. Dayforce professional services and other revenue is primarily generated from implementation and post go-live professional services revenue. Other sources of Dayforce revenues include revenue from the sale, rental and maintenance of time clocks; revenue from the sale of third-party services; and billable travel expenses for Dayforce customers. The Powerpay offering is our solution designed primarily for small market Canadian customers, which typically have fewer than 20 employees. Powerpay recurring revenue is primarily generated from recurring fees charged on a per-employee, per-process basis and the allocation of investment income generated from holding Powerpay customer funds in trust before funds are remitted to taxing authorities, Powerpay customer employees, or other third parties. Typical processes include the customer’s payroll runs, year-end tax packages, and delivery of customers’ remittance advices or checks. Powerpay professional services revenue is primarily generated from the setup of the Powerpay customer on their platform.

Bureau revenue is generated primarily from solutions delivered via a service-bureau model. These solutions are delivered via 3 primary service lines: payroll, payroll-related tax filing services, and outsourced human resource solutions. Revenue from payroll services is generated from recurring fees charged on a per-process basis. Typical processes include the customer’s payroll runs, year-end tax packages, and delivery of customers’ remittance advices or checks. In addition to customers who use our payroll services, certain customers use our tax filing services on a stand-alone basis. Our outsourced human resource solutions are tailored to meet the needs of individual customers, and entail our contracting to perform many of the duties of a customer’s human resources department, including payroll processing, time and labor management, performance management, and recruiting. We also perform individual services for customers, such as check printing, wage attachment and disbursement, and Affordable Care Act (“ACA”) management. Additional items included in Bureau revenue are fees for custom professional services to Bureau customers; the allocation of investment income generated from holding Bureau customer funds in trust before funds are remitted to taxing authorities, Bureau customer employees, or other third parties; consulting services related to Bureau offerings; revenue from the sale of third party services to Bureau customers; and Excelity revenue.

14.12. Income Taxes

Our income tax provision (benefit) represents federal, state, and international taxes on our income recognized for financial statement purposes whichand includes the effecteffects of temporary differences between financial statement income and income recognized for tax return purposes. Our incomeDeferred tax provision is negatively affected byassets and liabilities are recorded for temporary differences between the needfinancial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities as adjusted for a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets.the expected benefits of utilizing net operating loss carryforwards. We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax asset when it is more likely than not that all or a portion ofassets to reflect the net deferred tax assetassets that we believe will not be realized. In determiningassessing the requirementlikelihood that we will be able to recover our deferred tax assets and the need for a valuation allowance, we assess theconsider all available evidence, both positive and negative, evidence to estimate if sufficientincluding historical levels of pre-tax book income, expiration of net operating losses, expectations and risks associated with estimates of future taxable income, will be generated to utilize our deferredand ongoing prudent and feasible tax assets not already identifiedplanning strategies, as requiring a valuation allowance. well as current tax laws.As of March 31, 2018, and December 31, 2017, excluding the Joint Venture Company,September 30, 2020, we continued to record a full valuation allowance against our domestic deferred tax assets that are not offset by the reversal of deferred tax liabilities. In the future, if it is determined that we no longer have a requirementcontinue to record a valuation allowance against all or a portion of our$12.0 million against deferred tax assets the release of the valuation allowance would have a positive impact on our income tax provision.

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cut and Jobs Act legislation (the “Act”) was signed into law. The Act made broad and complex changesattributable to the U.S. tax code including: (a) lower U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018, (b) accelerated expensing of qualified capital investments for a specific period, and (c) a transition from a worldwide tax system to a territorial tax system.

ASC 740, Income Taxes, requires a company to record the effects of a tax law change in the period of enactment; however, shortly after enactment of the Tax Act, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 118, which allows a company to record a provisional amount when it does not have the necessary information available to complete its accounting for the change in the tax law. The FASB subsequently issued ASU2018-05 to codify SAB 118 by amending ASC 740. ASU2018-05 continues to allow a company to record a provisional amount when it does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed in reasonable detail to complete its accounting for the change in the tax law. The measurement period ends when the company has obtained, prepared, and analyzed the information necessary to finalize its accounting, but cannot extend beyond one year.state net operating loss carryovers.

We recorded an income tax expensebenefit of $5.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, primarily attributable to tax benefits of $6.8 during the three months ended March 31, 2018. Included in this amount are the estimated impacts of requiring a current inclusion in U.S. federal income of certain earnings of controlled foreign corporations, allowing a domestic corporation an immediate deduction in the U.S. taxable incomemillion for a portion of its foreign-derived intangible income, andreduction in the base erosion anti-abuse tax.

In January(“BEAT”) in the U.S., $2.8 million associated with share-based compensation, and Aprila $2.3 million reduction associated with unremitted foreign earnings, partially offset by tax expense of 2018, the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) issued guidance that provides additional clarification on certain aspects of the transition tax calculation. We did not record any change$6.2 million, primarily attributable to our transition tax liability during the three months ended March 31, 2018. We are considering the additional IRS guidance as we continue to gather additional information related to the transition tax estimates and deferred tax estimates to more precisely compute the transition tax and remeasurement of deferred$4.8 million in U.S. state taxes. We anticipate additional IRS guidance relative to the impacts of the Act will be forthcoming throughout 2018.

The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2018,September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2017,2019, were $10.5,$1.8 million, including $2.1$0.3 million of accrued interest, and $10.5,$1.5 million, including $2.2$0.2 million of accrued interest, respectively. Of the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2018, $9.9September 30, 2020, $1.8 million represents the amount that, if recognized, would favorably impact our effective income tax rate. It is reasonable to expect that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change in the next twelve months; however, we do not expect the change to have a significant impact on our results of operations or financial condition.

We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various states, and foreign jurisdictions. With a few exceptions, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, ornon-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2014.2015.

14. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Matters

We are subject to claims and a number of judicial and administrative proceedings considered normal in the course of our current and past operations, including employment-related disputes, contract disputes, disputes with our competitors, intellectual property disputes, government audits and proceedings, customer disputes, and tort claims. In some proceedings, the claimant seeks damages as well as other relief, which, if granted, would require substantial expenditures on our part.

Our general terms and conditions in customer contracts frequently include a provision indicating that we will indemnify and hold our customers harmless from and against any and all claims alleging that the services and materials furnished by us violate any third party’s patent, trade secret, copyright or other intellectual property right. We are not aware of any material pending litigation concerning these indemnifications.

Some of these matters raise difficult and complex factual and legal issues and are subject to many uncertainties, including the facts and circumstances of each particular action, and the jurisdiction, forum, and law under which each action is proceeding. Because of these complexities, final disposition of some of these proceedings may not occur for several years. As such, we are not always able to estimate the amount of our possible future liabilities, if any.

There can be no certainty that we may not ultimately incur charges in excess of presently established or future financial accruals or insurance coverage. Although occasional adverse decisions or settlements may occur, it is management’s opinion that the final disposition of these proceedings will not, considering the merits of the claims and available resources or reserves and insurance, and based upon the facts and circumstances currently known, have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

17. Financial Data by Segment and Geographic Area

Segments

As of March 31, 2018, Ceridian had two operating and reportable segments, HCM and LifeWorks, based on the separate management teams, solutions, and objectives of the businesses. Our operating and reportable segments align with how management monitored operating performance, allocates resources, and deploys capital. There were two chief operating decision makers (“CODM”), the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of HCM and the CEO of LifeWorks. Both reported directlyare considered related parties due to their separate Boards of Directors.

Segment performance is based on revenues and operating income or income (loss) before interest expense and income taxes. Interest expense and income taxes are not indicative of operating performance, and, as a result are not included in the measures that are reviewed by the CODMs. The amounts in the following tables are obtained from reports used by our senior management team. There are no significantnon-cash items reported in segment profit or loss other than depreciation and amortization and share-based compensation. Total assets by segment were $6,723.8 for HCM and $155.7 for LifeWorks as of March 31, 2018, and $6,573.7 for HCM and $156.2 for LifeWorks as of December 31, 2017.

Our Solutions

We categorize our solutions into three categories: Cloud HCM (“Cloud”), Bureau HCM (“Bureau”), and LifeWorks offerings.

Cloud revenue is generated from HCM solutions that are delivered via two cloud offerings: Dayforce and Powerpay. The Dayforce offering is differentiated from our market competition as being a single application that offers a comprehensive range of functionality, including global HR, payroll, benefits, workforce management, and talent management on web and native iOS and Android platforms. Dayforce revenue is primarily generated from monthly recurring fees charged on a PEPM basis, generallyone-month in advance of service. Also included within Dayforce revenue is implementation, staging, and other professional services revenue; revenues from the sale, rental, and maintenance of time clocks; and billable travel expenses. The Powerpay offering is our solution designed primarily for small market Canadian customers. The typical Powerpay customer has fewer than 20 employees, and the majority of the revenue is generated from recurring fees charged on aper-employee,per-process basis. Typical processes include the customer’s payroll runs,year-end tax packages, and delivery of customers’ remittance advices or checks. In addition to the direct revenue earned from the Dayforce and Powerpay offerings, Cloud revenue also includes investment income generated from holding Cloud customer funds in trust before funds are remitted to taxing authorities, Cloud customer employees, or other third parties; and revenue from the sale of third party services.

Bureau revenue is generated primarily from HCM solutions delivered via a service-bureau model. These solutions are delivered via three primary service lines: payroll, payroll-related tax filing services, and outsourced human resource solutions.certain shared board members. Revenue from payroll services is generated from recurring fees charged on aper-process basis. Typical processes include the customer’s payroll runs,year-end tax packages, and delivery of customers’ remittance advices or checks. In addition to customers who use our payroll services, certain customers use our tax filing services on a stand-alone basis. Our outsourced human resource solutions are tailored to meet the needs of individual customers, and entail our contracting to perform many of the duties of a customer’s human resources department, including payroll processing, time and labor management, performance management, and recruiting. We also performHCM-related individual services for customers, such as check printing, wage attachment and disbursement, and ACA management. Additional items included in Bureau revenue are custom professional services revenue; investment income generated from holding Bureau customer funds in trust before funds are remitted to taxing authorities, Bureau customer employees, or other third parties; consulting servicesthese related to Bureau offerings; and revenue from the sale of third party services.

LifeWorks joint venture revenue is primarily generated from employee assistance, wellness, recognition, and incentive programs offered directly by LifeWorks in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and various other countries through LifeWorks’ network of contractors. LifeWorks offers employee engagement services, such as employee assistance programs, social recognition, discounts from participating vendors, a private social network, employee and corporate wellness, and employee engagement analytics.

16. Net LossIncome (Loss) per Share

We compute net lossincome (loss) per share of common stock using the treasury stock method.

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to Ceridian available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.

For the calculation of diluted net loss per share, net loss per share is adjusted by the effect of dilutive securities, including awards under our share-based compensation plans. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the resulting net loss attributable to Ceridian available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of fully diluted common shares outstanding. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, and 2017, our potential dilutive shares, such as stock options, RSUs, and shares of senior and junior convertible preferred stock were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share as the effect of including these shares in the calculation would have been anti-dilutive.

The numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted net lossincome (loss) per share computations arewere calculated as follows:

19. Subsequent Events

Reverse Stock Split

On April 10, 2018, we effected a1-for-2 reverse stock splitTable of our common stock. All of the common share and per share information referenced throughout this interim report have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this reverse stock split.Contents

Initial Public Offering and Concurrent Private Placement

On April 30, 2018, we completed our initial public offering (“IPO”), in which we issued and sold 21,000,000 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $22.00 per share. We granted the underwriters a30-day option to purchase an additional 3,150,000 shares of common stock at the offering price, which was exercised in full. A total of 24,150,000 shares of common stock were issued on April 30, 2018, with gross proceeds of $531.3 from the IPO before deducting underwriting discounts, commissions, and other offering expenses. Immediately subsequent to the closing of our IPO on April 30, 2018, THL / Cannae Investors LLC, one of our existing stockholders controlled by our Sponsors, purchased from us in a private placement $100.0 of our common stock at a price per share equal to the offering price. Based on the offering price of $22.00 per share, 4,545,455 shares were issued in this private placement. The condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2018, including share and per share amounts, do not give effect to the IPO, concurrent private placement, or the internal corporate reorganization discussed in Note 1, “Organization,” as the IPO and related transactions were completed subsequent to March 31, 2018.

Debt Refinancing

Concurrently with closing of the IPO and the concurrent private placement, we applied the net proceeds from the IPO to satisfy and to discharge the indenture governing our outstanding $475.0 principal amount Senior Notes, and they will be redeemed on May 30, 2018. We also refinanced our remaining indebtedness under our (i) $702.0 (original principal amount) Senior Term Debt and (ii) $130.0 Revolving Credit Facility, including accrued interest and related costs and expenses, with new senior credit facilities consisting of a $680.0 term loan debt facility and a $300.0 revolving credit facility.

LifeWorks Disposition

Contemporaneously with the IPO and concurrent private placement, we distributed our interest in LifeWorks to our existing stockholders of record prior to the IPO on a pro rata basis in accordance with their pro rata interests in us. As a result of the LifeWorks Disposition, we no longer have any material obligations under the LifeWorks joint venture agreement. In addition, upon completion of the LifeWorks Disposition, LifeWorks is no longer a separate reportable segment, and we will no longer have anon-controlling interest on our consolidated financial statements.

Overview

Ceridian is a global human capital management (“HCM”) software company. We categorize our solutions into two categories: Cloud and Bureau solutions. Cloud revenue is generated from HCM solutions that are delivered via two cloud offerings: Dayforce, our flagship cloud HCM platform, and Powerpay, a cloud HR and payroll solution for the Canadian small business market. We also continue to support customers using our Bureau solutions, which we generally stopped actively selling to new customers following the acquisition of Dayforce in 2012. Revenue from our Cloud and Bureau solutions include an allocation of investment income generated from holding customer funds in trust before funds are remitted to taxing authorities, also referred to as float revenue or float. We invest in maintenance and necessary updates to support our Bureau customers and continue to migrate them to Dayforce.

Dayforce provides human resources (“HR”),HR, payroll, benefits, workforce management, and talent management functionality. Our platform is used by organizations, regardless of industry or size, to optimize management of the entire employee lifecycle, including attracting, engaging, paying, deploying, and developing their people. Dayforce was built as a single application from the ground up that combines a modern, consumer-grade user experience with proprietary application architecture, including a single employee record and a rules engine spanning all areas of HCM. Dayforce provides continuous real-time calculations across all modules to enable, for example, payroll administrators access to data through the entire pay period, and managers access to real-time data to optimize work schedules. Our platform is designed to make work life better for our customers and their employees by improving HCM decision-making processes, streamlining workflows, exposingrevealing strategic organizational insights, and simplifying legislative compliance. The platform is designed to ease administrative work for both employees and managers, creating opportunities for companies to increase employee engagement. We are afounder-led organization, and our culture combines the agility and innovation of astart-up with a history of deep domain and operational expertise.

In 2020, we launched the Dayforce Wallet, which gives our customers’ employees greater control over their financial well-being by providing them with instant access to their earnings. This on-demand pay feature allows employees more choice over when they get paid by making any day payday. Dayforce Wallet enables workers to access their already-earned wages anytime during the pay period, net of taxes, withholdings and other payroll deductions. Leveraging Dayforce’s continuous pay calculations, Dayforce Wallet processes a same-day payroll each time a worker requests their pay. The solution is compliant with federal, state, and local remittances and requires no changes to payroll processing including the funding, timing, and close-out of pay.  

We sell Dayforce through our direct sales force on a subscriptionper-employee,per-month (“PEPM”) basis. Our subscriptions are typically structured with an initial fixed term of between three and five years, with evergreen renewal thereafter. Dayforce can serve customers of all sizes, ranging from 100 to over 100,000 employees. We have rapidly grown the Dayforce platform to more than 3,1504,704 live Dayforce customers as of March 31, 2018.September 30, 2020. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018,September 30, 2020, we added over 150101 and 341 net new live Dayforce customers.

In addition to Dayforce, we sell Powerpay, a cloud HR and payroll solution for the Canadian small business market, through both direct sales and established partner channels. We also continue to support customers, using our Bureau solutions, which we generally stopped actively selling to new customers following the acquisition of Dayforce. We invest in maintenance and necessary updates to support our Bureau customers and continue to migrate them to Dayforce. We also own a controlling financial interest in a joint venture, LifeWorks, which offers an employee engagement platform that delivers employee assistance programs, social recognition, exclusive perks and discounts, a private social network, employee and corporate wellness programs, and employee engagement analytics in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.

How We Generate Revenue

We generate recurring revenues primarily from recurring fees charged for the use of our Cloud HCM solutions, Dayforce and Powerpay, as well as from our Bureau solutions and LifeWorks joint venture. We also generate professional services and other revenue associated primarily with the work performed to assist customers with the planning, design, implementation, and staging of their cloud-based solution. Our HCM solutions are typically provided through long-term customer relationships that result in a high level of recurring revenue. For Dayforce, we primarily charge monthly recurring fees on a PEPM basis, generallyone-month in advance of service, based on the number and type of solutions provided to the customer and the number of employees and other users at the customer. Our standard Dayforce contracts are generally for a three to five-year period. The average time it takes to implement Dayforce typically ranges from three months for smaller customers to nine months for larger customers. Once Dayforce is implemented, the customer goes live, and we begin to generate recurring revenue. For Powerpay, we charge customers recurring fees on aper-employee,per-process basis. Powerpay can typically be implemented on a remote basis within one to three days, at which point we start receiving recurring fees. For our Bureau solutions, we primarily charge recurring fees on aper-process basis. We also generate recurring revenue from investment income from funds held in trust on behalf of our customers. The LifeWorks joint venture also generates recurring revenue, primarily from employee assistance, wellness, recognition, and incentive programs.

Our Solutions

We categorize our solutions into three categories: Cloud HCM, Bureau HCM, and LifeWorks solutions.

Cloud revenue is generated from HCM solutions that are delivered via two cloud offerings: Dayforce and Powerpay. The Dayforce offering is differentiated from our market competition as being a single application that offers a comprehensive range of functionality, including global HR, payroll, benefits, workforce management, and talent management on web and native iOS and Android platforms. Dayforce revenue is primarily generated from monthly recurring fees charged on a PEPM basis, generallyone-month in advance of service. Also included within Dayforce revenue is implementation, staging, and other professional services revenue; revenues from the sale, rental, and maintenance of time clocks; and billable travel expenses. The Powerpay offering is our solution designed primarily for small market Canadian customers. The typical Powerpay customer has fewer than 20 employees, and the majority of the revenue is generated from recurring fees charged on aper-employee,per-process basis. Typical processes include the customer’s payroll runs,year-end tax packages, and delivery of customers’ remittance advices or checks. In addition to the direct revenue earned from the Dayforce and Powerpay offerings, Cloud revenue also includes investment income generated from holding Cloud customer funds in trust before funds are remitted to taxing authorities, Cloud customer employees, or other third parties; and revenue from the sale of third party services.

Bureau revenue is generated primarily from HCM solutions delivered via a service-bureau model. These solutions are delivered via three primary service lines: payroll, payroll-related tax filing services, and outsourced human resource solutions. Revenue from payroll services is generated from recurring fees charged on aper-process basis. Typical processes include the customer’s payroll runs,year-end tax packages, and delivery of customers’ remittance advices or checks. In addition to customers who use our payroll services, certain customers use our tax filing services on a stand-alone basis. Our outsourced human resource solutions are tailored to meet the needs of individual customers, and entail our contracting to perform many of the duties of a customer’s human resources department, including payroll processing, time and labor management, performance management, and recruiting. We also performHCM-related individual services for customers, such as check printing, wage attachment and disbursement, and ACA management. Additional items included in Bureau revenue are custom professional services revenue; investment income generated from holding Bureau customer funds in trust before funds are remitted to taxing authorities, Bureau customer employees, or other third parties; consulting services related to Bureau offerings; and revenue from the sale of third party services.

LifeWorks joint venture revenue is primarily generated from employee assistance, wellness, recognition, and incentive programs offered directly by LifeWorks in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and various other countries through LifeWorks’ network of contractors. LifeWorks offers employee engagement services, such as employee assistance programs, social recognition, discounts from participating vendors, a private social network, employee and corporate wellness, and employee engagement analytics.

Our History

Ceridian was acquired in 2007 by affiliates andco-investors of Thomas H. Lee Partners, L.P. (“THL Partners”) and Cannae Holdings, Inc., formerly known as Fidelity National Financial Ventures, LLC (“Cannae”) (THL Partners and Cannae are together referred to as the “Sponsors”). In April 2012, Ceridian acquired Dayforce Corporation, which had built Dayforce, a Cloud HCM solution. In the months following the acquisition, Dayforce founder David D. Ossip was named Chief Executive Officer of Ceridian HCM, and shortly thereafter, we generally stopped actively selling our Bureau solutions to new customers in the United States to focus our resources on expanding the Dayforce platform and growing Cloud HCM solutions. For each quarter since September 30, 2016, our Cloud HCM revenue has surpassed our Bureau HCM revenue.

As part of our strategy to focus on the growth of our Cloud HCM solutions business, we (i) sold our consumer-directed benefit services business in 2013, (ii) merged Comdata, our payment systems business unit, with FleetCor Technologies Inc. in 2014, (iii) sold our benefits administration and post-employment compliance business in 2015, and (iv) sold our United Kingdom and Ireland businesses and a portion of our operations that supported such businesses in the Republic of Mauritius in 2016. Our benefits administration and post-employee compliance business, our United Kingdom and Ireland businesses, and our divested Mauritius operations are presented as discontinued operations in our financial statements. Our consumer-directed

benefits services business and our benefits administration and post-employment compliance business are collectively referred to as our “Divested Benefits Businesses.” As a result of these transactions, we only actively sell Dayforce and Powerpay in our HCM segment, which we believe simplifies our business model and positions us well for continued growth. In 2016, we contributed our LifeWorks employee assistance program business to a joint venture, LifeWorks, that provides employee assistance, wellness, recognition, and incentives programs in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. Prior to the formation of the LifeWorks joint venture, employee assistance programs were provided by Ceridian.

Recent Developments

On April 30, 2018, we completed our initial public offering (“IPO”), in which we issued and sold 21,000,000 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $22.00 per share. We granted the underwriters a30-day option to purchase an additional 3,150,000 shares of common stock at the offering price, which was exercised in full. A total of 24,150,000 shares of common stock were issued on April 30, 2018, with gross proceeds of $531.3 million from the IPO before deducting underwriting discounts, commissions, and other offering expenses. Immediately subsequent to the closing of our IPO on April 30, 2018, THL / Cannae Investors LLC, one of our existing stockholders controlled by our Sponsors, purchased from us in a private placement $100.0 million of our common stock at a price per share equal to the offering price. Based on the offering price of $22.00 per share, 4,545,455 shares were issued in this private placement.

We applied the net proceeds from the IPO to satisfy and to discharge the indenture governing our outstanding $475.0 million principal amount Senior Notes, and they will be redeemed on May 30, 2018. Concurrently, we also refinanced our remaining indebtedness under our (i) $702.0 million (original principal amount) Senior Term Debt and (ii) $130.0 million Revolving Credit Facility, including accrued interest and related costs and expenses, with new senior credit facilities consisting of a $680.0 million term loan debt facility and a $300.0 million revolving credit facility.

Contemporaneously with the IPO and concurrent private placement, we distributed our interest in LifeWorks to our existing stockholders of record prior to the IPO on a pro rata basis in accordance with their pro rata interests in us (“LifeWorks Disposition”). As a result of the LifeWorks Disposition, we no longer have any material obligations under the LifeWorks joint venture agreement.

Please refer to Note 19, “Subsequent Events,” for further discussion of these transactions.respectively.

Our Business Model

Our business model focuses on supporting the rapid growth of Dayforce and maximizing the lifetime value of our Dayforce customer relationships. Due to our subscription model, where we recognize subscription revenues ratably over the term of the subscription period, and high customer retention rates, we have historically had a high level of visibility into our future revenues. The profitability of a customer to our business depends, in large part, on how long they have been a customer. Because in our current business model, PEPM subscription fees are not charged until the customer goes live, and because we incur costs in advance of receiving PEPM revenue that are not offset by our implementation fees, we estimate that it takes an average of 2.5approximately two years before we are able to recover our implementation, customer acquisition, and other direct costs on a new Dayforce customer contract. As the proportion

   59  59  57  57  56  55

Over the lifetime of the customer relationship, we have the opportunity to realize additional PEPM revenue, both as the customer grows or rolls out the Dayforce solution to additional employees, and also by selling additional functionality to existing customers that do not currently utilize our full platform. We also incur costs to manage the account, to supportretain customers, and to sell additional functionality. These costs, however, are significantly less than the costs initially incurred to acquire and to implement the customer.

COVID-19 Pandemic

Key Factors and Trends Affecting Our Results

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of Operations

Set forth below iscoronavirus (COVID-19) to be a discussion of somepandemic. The global spread of the key factorsCOVID-19 pandemic has created significant global volatility, uncertainty, and trends affecting our results of operations.

Growing our Dayforce Customer Base

A key part of our strategy is toeconomic disruption. We have experienced and may continue to grow our Dayforceexperience curtailed customer base. We have developed sales and marketing efforts that are designed for effective customer acquisition. As of March 31, 2018, we had more than 3,150 live Dayforce customers, an increase of approximately 670 customers as compared to the total at March 31, 2017. Our continued focus on sales execution is important to drive further penetration of the Dayforce platform and to expand our market share. We also believe that there is a significant opportunity for our solution outside of our core North American markets. Dayforce was designeddemand, primarily as a global platform;result of declining employment levels at our customers in certain sectors, such as retail and we intend to expand globally through both the expansion of our own proprietary payroll functionality,hospitality, as well as through newlower customer utilization of professional services and existing partnerships with local vendors, including our existing membershipcustomer delays in implementation services, due to the Payroll Services Alliance.

Extending Product Leadership

We are committedeffects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, the federal funds rate cuts by the U.S. Federal Reserve and the overnight rate target by the Bank of Canada have had and will continue to delivering market-leading HCM solutions preferred by employers and employees alike. We believe that maintaining our product leadership is critical to driving further revenue growth. Our leading market position in technology is basedhave negative effects on our ability to innovate and to bring new solutions to market. Dayforce is designed around our proprietary single application architecture, which features continuous calculation and includes a single cross-domain rules engine and a complete employee record, which facilitates new innovation. Since 2012, we have developed a full suite of HCM functionality. We intend to continue to extend the functionality and breadth of our platform in the future. We have a roadmap for continued development, which includes adding native payroll capabilities for additional countries. We intend to continue to invest in our product development and innovation to maintain our strong, differentiated technology position.

Retaining and Expanding Revenue from Existing Dayforce Customers

float revenue.  The economic benefits of our business model include persistent, long-lived customer relationships, as well as the opportunity to realize additional revenue from existing customers. Our annual Cloud revenue retention rate was over 95% in 2017, reflecting high retention rates with Dayforce customers, driving strong customer lifetime value. Because our subscription revenue is based on a PEPM charge, as customers grow and add more employees, we realize a corresponding increase in PEPM revenue. Moreover, with the continued launch of new functionality for our Dayforce platform, we have the opportunity to realize incremental revenue by selling additional functionality to existing customers that do not currently utilize our full platform. We believe that this opportunity is particularly strong in the enterprise segment, where customers often start with a subset of our Dayforce platform in conjunction with point solutions from other vendors that we target to replace over time.

Managing the Migration of our Bureau Customers to Dayforce

We generally stopped actively selling our Bureau solutions to new customers in the United States in 2012 and have been marketing our Dayforce platform to new and existing customers since that time. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, Bureau revenue declined by $14.7 million, or 19.2%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017. Of the $14.7 million decline in Bureau revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2018, $6.1 million was associated with customers migrating to Dayforce, which represented 18%broader implications of the increase in Cloud revenue during this period. As the number of Bureau customers continues to decline,pandemic on our results of operations will depend, in part,and overall financial performance remain uncertain. Please refer to the Results of Operations section below for further discussion of the financial impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. Please refer to Part II, Item 1A Risk Factors for further discussion of the potential impact of the pandemic on replacing the revenue from Bureau customer attrition and on maintaining the profitability of services to our remaining Bureau customers. We believe that our cloud Dayforce platform is attractive to many customers that currently use an outsourced service bureau for their payroll andHCM-related needs; and, as a result, that sales to new customers and sales of additional functionality to our growing Dayforce customer base will continue to more than offset the decline in revenue from Bureau customers. We also believe that we will continue to be able to provide services to our remaining Bureau customers at attractive margins. As we migrate our Bureau customers to Dayforce, we typically experience a revenue increase from such customers driven by increased product density on the Dayforce platform.

Profitably Managing our Growth

We carefully designed and built Dayforce to meet the needs of a homogeneous market with a common set of requirements and compliance challenges across organization sizes and industries. To support our rapid growth, we have rigorously managed our implementation and customer support operations to maintain consistent, repeatable methods and processes and to take advantage of automation. We believe that our business model enables us to realize significant operating leverage and economies of scale and that we can continue to acquire, to implement, and to support more customers and to generate more revenue without a corresponding increase in expenses. Our profitability depends in part upon our ability to achieve a balance in the timing and magnitude of required investments in sales and marketing, implementation, and customer support.business.

How We Assess Our Performance

In assessing our performance, we consider a variety of performance indicators in addition to revenue and net income. Set forth below is a description of our key performance measures.

The following table sets forth our key performance indicators for the periods presented.

Live Dayforce Customers

In our business model, PEPM subscription fees are not charged until the customer goes live on the platform, and weWe use the number of customers live on Dayforce as an indicator of future revenue and the overall performance of the business and to assess the performance of our implementation services. We have 3,154had 4,704 customers live on Dayforce as of March 31, 2018.September 30, 2020, compared to 4,169 customers live on Dayforce as of September 30, 2019.

HCM Constant Currency Revenue

We present revenue on a constant currency basis to assess how our underlying business performed, excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations. We believe this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to management and investors. We have calculated revenue on a constant currency basis by applying the average foreign exchange rate in effect during the comparable prior period.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin

We believe that HCM Adjusted EBITDA and HCM Adjusted EBITDA margin,non-GAAP financial measures, are useful to management and investors as supplemental measures to evaluate our overall operating performance. HCM Adjusted EBITDA and HCM Adjusted EBITDA margin are components of our management incentive plan and are used by management to assess performance and to compare our operating performance to our competitors. We define HCM Adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, as adjusted to exclude net income or loss from discontinued operations, LifeWorks EBITDA, sponsor management fees,non-cash charges for asset impairments, gains or lossesgain (loss) on assets and liabilities held in a foreign currency other than the functional currency of a company subsidiary,non-cash share-based compensation expense and related employer taxes, severance charges, restructuring consulting fees, and environmental reservecertain other non-recurring charges. HCM Adjusted EBITDA margin is determined by calculating the percentage HCMthat Adjusted EBITDA is of Total HCM Revenue.total revenue. Management believes that HCM Adjusted EBITDA and HCM Adjusted EBITDA margin are helpful in highlighting management performance trends because HCM Adjusted EBITDA and HCM Adjusted EBITDA margin exclude the results of decisions that are outside the controlnormal course of operating management.

(1)We define HCM EBITDA from continuing operations as HCM net income or loss before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and net income or loss from discontinued operations.
(2)Represents expenses related to our management, monitoring, consulting, transaction, and advisory fees and related expenses paid to the affiliates of our Sponsors pursuant to the management agreement with THL Managers VI, LLC (“THLM”) and Cannae. See Note 16 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, “Related Party Transactions,” for further information.
(3)Represents the share-based compensation adjustment only for our HCM segment.
(4)Represents costs for severance compensation paid to employees whose positions have been eliminated, resulting primarily from the shift of business from our Bureau solutions to our Cloud solutions.
(5)Represents consulting fees and expenses incurred during the periods presented in connection with any acquisition, investment, disposition, recapitalization, equity offering, issuance or repayment of indebtedness, issuance of equity interests, or refinancing.

Components of Our Results of Operations

We have two operating and reportable segments, HCM and LifeWorks. HCM includes both of our Cloud solutions, Dayforce and Powerpay, as well as our Bureau HCM solutions. Our LifeWorks segment reflects the results of the LifeWorks joint venture.

Revenues

We have two categories of revenues: (i) recurring services and (ii) professional services and other. Recurring services revenues consist of the recurring fees that we charge for our Cloud HCM and Bureau HCM solutions, as well as LifeWorks solutions. For our Dayforce solutions, we primarily charge monthly recurring fees on a PEPM basis, generallyone-month in advance of service, based on the number and type of solutions provided to the customer and the number of employees at the customer. We charge Powerpay customers recurring fees on aper-employee,per-process basis. For our Bureau HCM solutions, we typically charge recurring fees on aper-process basis. We also generate recurring services revenue from investment income on our Cloud and Bureau customer funds held in trust before such funds are remitted to taxing authorities, customer employees, or other third parties. We refer to this investment income as float revenue. Professional services and other revenues consist primarily of charges relating to the work performed to assist customers with the implementation of their solutions. Also included in professional services and other revenues are any related training services, post-implementation professional services, and purchased time clocks. We also generate professional services and other revenues from other professional services and consulting services that we provide and for certain third party services that we arrange for our Bureau customers.

The following table presents our Cloud HCM revenue for both recurring and professional services and other, for both our Dayforce and Powerpay solutions for the periods presented.

(a)We present revenue growth in a constant currency to provide a framework for assessing how our underlying businesses performed, excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations. We calculate percentage change in revenue on a constant currency basis by applying a fixed 1.30 Canadian dollar to 1 U.S. dollar foreign exchange rate to revenues originally booked in Canadian dollars and 0.75 British pound sterling to 1 U.S. dollar foreign exchange rate to revenues originally booked in British pound sterling for all applicable periods.

Cloud revenue was $125.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, an increase of 38.0% when compared to three months ended March 31, 2017. Dayforce revenue increased 44.2%, and Powerpay revenue increased 15.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2018 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017. On a constant currency basis, Dayforce revenue increased 42.8%, and Powerpay revenue increased 10.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2018 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017. Our new business sales to Dayforce customers comprised 82% of our increase in Cloud revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2018, including sales to new Dayforce customers and sales of additional functionality to existing Dayforce customers; and the remaining 18% consisted primarily of customer migration to Dayforce from our Bureau solutions.

As we focused on our Cloud HCM solutions, we generally ceased marketing our Bureau solutions to new customers in the United States in 2012 and in Canada in 2015, and have been actively marketing our Dayforce platform to these customers since that time. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, Bureau revenue declined by $14.7 million, or 19.2%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Our customer trust funds are invested with safety of principal and liquidity as the primary objectives. As a secondary objective, we also seek to maximize float revenue, which is affected by the balances held in our customer trust funds and the interest rates earned on invested funds. The average float balance for our customer trust funds for the three months ended March 31, 2018, was $4,072.0 million, compared to $3,764.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The average

yield was 1.75% during the three months ended March 31, 2018, an increase of 52 basis points compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017. Investment income from invested customer trust funds included in revenue was $17.6 and $11.4 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, and 2017, respectively.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue consists of costs to deliver our solutions. Most of these costs are recognized as incurred. Some costs of revenue are recognized in the period that a service is sold and delivered. Other costs of revenue are recognized over the period of use or in proportion to the related revenue.

Share-Based Compensation Expense

We grant share-based compensation awards to certain employees, officers, andnon-employee directors as long-term incentive compensation. We recognize the related expense for time-based awards ratably over the applicable vesting period. We recognize the related expense for performance-based awards upon the achievement of the performance criteria. Such expense is recognized as either cost of revenue or selling, general, and administrative expense. The following table shows the allocation of share-based compensation expense among our expense line items for the periods presented:

(a)

We present revenue growth in a constant currency to provide a framework for assessing how our underlying businesses performed excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations. We calculate percentage change inhave calculated revenue on a constant currency basis by applying a fixed 1.30 Canadian dollar to 1 U.S. dollarthe average foreign exchange rate to revenues originally booked in Canadian dollars and 0.75 British pound sterling to 1 U.S. dollar foreign exchange rate to revenues originally booked in British pound sterling for all applicable periods.effect during the comparable prior period.

(b)Consists of Recurring services revenue and Professional services and other revenue related to Bureau.

Total revenue increased $21.9$2.1 million, or 11.7%1.0%, to $208.9$204.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018,September 30, 2020, compared to $187.0$202.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017.September 30, 2019. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in Cloud revenue of $34.5$11.2 million, or 38.0%6.8%, from $90.7$165.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017,September 30, 2019, to $125.2$176.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018.September 30, 2020. The increase in Cloud revenue was partially offset by a decline in Bureau revenue of $9.1 million, or 24.7%. The Cloud revenue increase was driven by an increase of $29.6$10.3 million, or 38.7%7.9%, in Cloud recurring services revenue, and $4.9$0.9 million, or 34.3%2.6%, in Cloud professional services and other revenue. The increase in Cloud recurring services revenue of $29.6$10.3 million was due to $17.7$10.5 million from new customers,add-ons, and revenue uplift from migrations of Bureau customers, net of customer losses; $6.1losses and $5.1 million from the migration of Bureau customers; and $5.8customers, partially offset by a $5.3 million from increaseddecline in float revenue related to Cloud recurring services revenue.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had an adverse impact on our revenue streams during the three months ended September 30, 2020, primarily in the form of lower employment levels at our customers, lower float revenue resulting from reductions in the U.S. Federal Reserve federal funds rate and the Bank of Canada overnight rate target, lower average float balances for our customer trust funds, lower demand for professional services, and customer delays in implementation services, among other effects. We estimate the impact of lower employment levels at our customers was an approximately $10 million decline to our revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2020, of which approximately $8 million was related to Dayforce and approximately $2 million was related to Powerpay. In addition, we estimate the impact to float revenue was approximately $6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. Of the approximately $6 million impact on float revenue, approximately $4 million was due to rate reductions during the first quarter of 2020, and approximately $2 million was due to lower average float balances for our customer trust funds.

Cloud revenue was $176.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, an increase of $11.2 million, or 6.8%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019. Dayforce revenue increased 9.8%, and Powerpay revenue declined 13.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019. Powerpay is designed primarily for small market Canadian customers, which typically have fewer than 20 employees, and these customers have been more adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic than larger Dayforce customers.Our new business sales to Dayforce and Powerpay customers comprised approximately 54% of our increase in Cloud revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2020, and approximately 46% consisted of $34.5 millioncustomer migrations to Dayforce from our Bureau solutions. The percentage of new business sales compared to customer migrations was adversely affected by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our revenues, as our new business sales to Dayforce and thePowerpay customers comprised approximately 85% of our increase in LifeWorksCloud revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2019, and approximately 15% consisted of $2.1 million were partially offsetcustomer migrations to Dayforce from our Bureau solutions.

The decrease of new business sales from the comparable period, which comprised approximately 85% of our increase in Cloud revenue, was due to the adverse effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on our revenues. As we migrate our Bureau customers to Dayforce, we typically experience a revenue increase from such customers, driven by a decline in increased product density on the Dayforce platform.

Bureau revenue of $14.7declined $9.1 million, or 19.2%.24.7%, for the three months ended September 30, 2020, which included approximately $7 million of Excelity revenue. Of the $9.1 million decline, approximately 56% was attributable to customer migrations to Dayforce. Excluding the impact of migrations to Dayforce, Bureau revenue declined by $8.6$4.0 million, or 11.2%.10.9%, primarily attributable to a reduction of employment levels and float revenue due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

OnExcluding float revenue and on a constant currency basis, total revenue grew 9.9%. This adjusted revenue growth was driven by5.4%, reflecting an 11.0% increase of 35.6% in Cloud revenue and 7.5% in LifeWorks revenue, partially offset by a 20.1% decline of 20.0% in Bureau revenue. OnExcluding float revenue and on a constant currency basis, Cloud revenue growth reflected a 13.5% increase in Cloud recurring services revenue and a 2.6% increase in Cloud professional services and other revenue. Excluding float revenue and on a constant currency basis, Dayforce revenue increased 13.9%, reflecting a 17.9% increase in Dayforce recurring service revenue and a 2.3% increase in Dayforce professional services and other revenue. Excluding float revenue and on a constant currency basis, Powerpay revenue declined 9.0%.

Float revenue included in recurring services revenue was $10.6 million and $18.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018,September 30, 2020, and 2019, respectively. Float revenue allocated to Cloud revenue was $9.5 million and $14.8 million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2020, and 2019, respectively. The average float balance for our customer trust funds for the three months ended September 30, 2020, was $2,745.1 million, compared to $3,117.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. On a constant currency basis, the average float balance for our customer trust funds for the three months ended September 30, 2020, declined 11.6% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017,September 30, 2019. This decline was driven by Cloud recurring services revenue, which increased by 36.7%, and professional services and other revenue, which increased by 29.9%, as we continued to sign and to activate new customers. Of the decline in Bureau revenue, approximately 60% wasprimarily attributable to customer attritionlower payroll balances and approximately 40%associated tax payments as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic impact to employment levels at our customers. The average yield was 1.52% during the three months ended September 30, 2020, a decline of 81 basis points compared to the average yield during the three months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to reductions in the U.S. Federal Reserve federal funds rate and the Bank of Canada overnight rate target. For the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, approximately 39% of our average float balance consisted of Canadian customer migrations to Dayforce.trust funds. Based on current market conditions, portfolio composition and investment practices, a 100 basis point change in market investment rates would result in approximately $17 million of change in float revenue over the ensuing twelve month period. There are no incremental costs of revenue associated with changes in float revenue.

Cost of revenue.revenue. Total cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2018,September 30, 2020, was $119.7$127.7 million, an increase of $6.5$14.2 million, or 5.7%12.5%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Recurring services cost of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2020, increased by $3.9$4.9 million, or 9.9%, compared with the three months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to additional costs related to global expansion, including Excelity which is classified as a Bureau solution, and costs to support the growing Dayforce customer base. Professional services and other cost of revenue increased $2.6 million, or 6.9%, for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to additional costs incurred to take new customers live.

Product development and management expense increased $5.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018,September 30, 2020, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017, due to additional costs incurred to supportSeptember 30, 2019. Excluding the growing Dayforce customer base, partially offset by reductions in Bureau costs.

The reduction in costimpact of revenue for professional servicesshare-based compensation and other of $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017, was primarily due to productivity improvements in implementing new customers, reflecting the increased experience of our implementation consultantsrelated employer taxes, and the continued use of automation in our implementation processes.

Product development and management expense includes costs related to software development activities that do not qualify for capitalization, such as development, quality assurance, testing of new technologies, enhancements to our existing solutions that do not result in additional functionality, and costs related to the management of our solutions. The increase inseverance expense; product development and management expense of $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to the

HCM segment

Total gross margin is defined as total HCM gross profit as a percentage of total HCM revenue, inclusive of HCM product development and management costs, as well as HCM depreciation and amortization associated with cost of revenue. Gross margin for each HCM solution in the table above is defined as total revenue less cost of revenue for the applicable solution as a percentage of total revenue for that related HCM solution, exclusive of any product development and management or depreciation and amortization cost allocations.

Total gross margin for the three months ended September 30, 2020, declined 6.4% compared to total gross margin for the three months ended September 30, 2019, and gross profit declined by $12.1 million, or 13.6%. The $12.1 million decline in gross profit was primarily attributable to the $7.7 million decline in float revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019.

On a constant currency basis, LifeWorks revenue increased 7.5%and $7.8 million for the three months ended MarchSeptember 30, 2020, and 2019, respectively, which was primarily due to a reduction in our term debt interest rate and a reduction in LIBOR rates generally, partially offset by increased debt outstanding under our revolving credit facility. A 100 basis point change in LIBOR rates would result in an approximately $10 million change in our interest expense, net over the ensuing twelve-month period.  

Other (income) expense, net. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, and 2019, we realized other income, net of $0.2 million and incurred other expense, net of $1.6 million, respectively. Other income, net was comprised of foreign currency translation gain, partially offset by net periodic pension expense for the three months ended September 30, 2020.  For the three months ended September 30, 2019, other expense, net was primarily comprised of net periodic pension expense.

Income tax benefit. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, and 2019, we recorded income tax benefit of $5.5 million and $65.6 million, respectively. The $60.1 million reduction in income tax benefit was primarily due to the $65.8 million tax benefit from the release of valuation allowance recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2019, that was not repeated during the three months ended September 31, 2018,2020, and other increases of $0.6 million, partially offset by a $6.3 million reduction attributable to lower base erosion anti-abuse tax (“BEAT”) in the U.S.

Net (loss) income. We realized net loss of $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to net income of $62.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, which included a one-time $65.8 million tax benefit.

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA declined by $13.2 million to $33.2 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017.

LifeWorks operating (loss) profitSeptember 30, 2019, and LifeWorks Adjusted EBITDA declined $2.2 million and $2.3 million, respectively,margin was 16.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2018,September 30, 2020, compared towith Adjusted EBITDA margin of 22.9% for the three months ended March September 30, 2019.

Please refer to “Non-GAAP Measures” section for additional information on our constant currency revenue, a non-GAAP financial measure.

Total revenue increased $17.4 million, or 2.9%, to $619.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $602.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in Cloud revenue of $59.7 million, or 12.5%, from $475.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, to $535.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The Cloud revenue increase was driven by an increase of $1.9$47.2 million, or 12.5%, in selling, general,Cloud recurring services revenue, and administrative expense.$12.5 million, or 12.9%, in Cloud professional services and other revenue. The increase in Cloud recurring services revenue of $47.2 million was due to $43.2 million from new customers, add-ons, and revenue uplift from migrations of Bureau customers, net of customer losses and $16.7 million from the migration of Bureau customers, partially offset by a decline of $12.7 million from float revenue related to Cloud recurring services revenue.

LifeWorks Adjusted EBITDA33


Table of Contents

We report

The COVID-19 pandemic has had an adverse impact on our financial resultsrevenue streams during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, primarily in accordance withthe form of lower employment levels at our customers, lower float revenue resulting from reductions in the U.S. GAAP. To supplement this information, we also use LifeWorks Adjusted EBITDA, anon-GAAP financial measure, in this Form10-Q. We define LifeWorks Adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss before interest, taxes, depreciation,Federal Reserve federal funds rate and amortization, as adjusted to excludenon-cash share-based compensation expensethe Bank of Canada overnight rate target, lower average float balances for our LifeWorks segment. Management believes that LifeWorks Adjusted EBITDAcustomer trust funds, lower demand for professional services, and customer delays in implementation services, among other effects. We estimate the impact of lower employment levels at our customers was an approximately $18 million decline to our revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, of which approximately $13 million was related to Dayforce and approximately $5 million was related to Powerpay. In addition, we estimate the impact to float revenue was approximately $14 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Of the approximately $14 million impact on float revenue, approximately $9 million was due to rate reductions during the first quarter of 2020, and approximately $5 million was due to lower average float balances for our customer trust funds.

Cloud revenue was $535.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, an increase of $59.7 million, or 12.5%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Dayforce revenue increased 16.3%, and Powerpay revenue declined 11.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019. On a constant currency basis, Dayforce revenue increased 16.7%, and Powerpay revenue declined 10.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Powerpay is helpful in highlighting management performance trends because LifeWorks Adjusted EBITDA excludesdesigned primarily for small market Canadian customers, which typically have fewer than 20 employees, and these customers have been more adversely affected by the results of decisions that are outside the control of operating management. By providing thisnon-GAAP financial measure, management believes we are enhancing investors’ understandingCOVID-19 pandemic than larger Dayforce customers.  Our new business sales to Dayforce and Powerpay customers comprised approximately 72% of our businessincrease in Cloud revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and approximately 28% consisted primarily of customer migrations to Dayforce from our resultsBureau solutions. As we migrate our Bureau customers to Dayforce, we typically experience a revenue increase from such customers driven by increased product density on the Dayforce platform.

Bureau revenue declined $42.3 million, or 33.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Of the $42.3 million decline, approximately 40% was attributable to customer migrations to Dayforce. Excluding the impact of operations, as well as assisting investorsmigrations to Dayforce, Bureau revenue declined by $25.6 million, or 20.2%.

Excluding float revenue and on a constant currency basis, total revenue grew 7.6%, reflecting a 17.4% increase in evaluating how well we are executingCloud revenue, partially offset by a 29.7% decline in Bureau revenue. Excluding float revenue and on a constant currency basis, Cloud revenue growth reflected a 18.6% increase in Cloud recurring services revenue and a 13.3% increase in Cloud professional services and other revenue. Excluding float revenue and on a constant currency basis, Dayforce revenue increased 21.2%, reflecting a 23.9% increase in Dayforce recurring service revenue and a 13.4% increase in Dayforce professional services and other revenue. Excluding float revenue and on a constant currency basis, Powerpay revenue declined 7.7%.

Float revenue included in recurring services revenue was $41.7 million and $62.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and 2019, respectively. Float revenue allocated to Cloud revenue was $36.5 million and $49.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and 2019, respectively. The average float balance for our strategic initiatives.customer trust funds for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, was $3,269.7 million, compared to $3,524.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. On a constant currency basis, the average float balance for our customer trust funds declined 6.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The average yield was 1.70% during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, a decline of 69 basis points compared to the average yield in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, approximately 34% of our average float balance consisted of Canadian customer trust funds, compared to approximately 36% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Based on current market conditions, portfolio composition and investment practices, a 100 basis point change in market investment rates would result in approximately $17 million of change in float revenue over the ensuing twelve month period.

Our presentationCost of LifeWorks Adjusted EBITDArevenue. Total cost of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, was $363.9 million, an increase of $32.0 million, or 9.6%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Recurring services cost of revenue increased $6.8 million, or 4.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to additional costs related to global expansion, including Excelity, which is intendedclassified as a supplemental measureBureau solution, and costs to support the growing Dayforce customer base. The increase in cost of our performance that is not required by,revenue for professional services and other of $13.6 million, or presented in accordance with, U.S. GAAP. LifeWorks Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to operating income (loss), net income (loss), earnings per share, or any other performance measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP as measures of operating performance or operating cash flows or as measures of liquidity. Our presentation of LifeWorks Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed to imply that our future results will be unaffected by these items. LifeWorks Adjusted EBITDA is included in this Form10-Q because it is a key metric used by management to assess our operating performance.

LifeWorks Adjusted EBITDA is not defined under U.S. GAAP, is not a measure of net income, operating income or any other performance measure derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and is subject to important limitations. Our use of the term LifeWorks Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies in our industry and is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

LifeWorks Adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

LifeWorks Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

LifeWorks Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

LifeWorks Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any charges12.7% for the assets being depreciatednine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019, was primarily due to additional costs incurred to implement new customers.

LifeWorks Adjusted EBITDA does not reflectnine months ended September 30, 2019. Excluding the impact of share-based compensation uponand related employer taxes, and severance expense; product development and management expense would have increased by $4.3 million.  This adjusted increase reflects additional personnel costs and Dayforce product development efforts, including costs to build out the Dayforce Wallet and our resultsinternational offerings that are not eligible for capitalization. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and 2019, our investment in software development was $53.9 million and $48.1 million, respectively, consisting of operations;$25.1 million and $24.6 million, of research and development expense, which is included within product development and management expense, and $28.8 million and $23.5 million in capitalized software development, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization expense associated with cost of revenue increased by $3.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as we continue to capitalize Dayforce related and other development costs and subsequently amortize those costs.

Total gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, declined 3.6% compared to total gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, and gross profit declined $14.6 million.

Cloud recurring services gross margin was 71.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to 69.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Excluding float revenue, Cloud recurring service gross margin was 68.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to 65.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase in Cloud recurring services gross margin reflects an increase in the proportion of Dayforce customers live for more than two years, which increased from 68% as of September 30, 2019, to 74% as of September 30, 2020, and was also attributable to consistent configuration that has enabled us to realize economies of scale in customer support and hosting costs. Bureau recurring services gross margin declined from 72.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, to 59.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, primarily due to lower Bureau recurring revenue, including high margin float revenue. Professional services and other gross margin was (8.7)% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to (8.6)% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Selling, general, and administrative expense. Selling, general, and administrative expense increased by $8.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Excluding the impact of share-based compensation and related employer taxes, restructuring consulting fees, severance expense, and certain other non-recurring charges; selling, general, and administrative expenses would have increased by $2.8 million. This adjusted increase of $2.8 million reflects an increase of $8.7 million in sales and marketing, primarily personnel costs, partially offset by a $5.9 million reduction in general and administrative expense, primarily customer list amortization expense. Please refer to the “Non-GAAP Measures” section for additional information on the excluded items.

Interest expense. Interest expense was $19.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $25.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, which was primarily due to a reduction in our term debt interest rate and a reduction in LIBOR rates generally, partially offset by increased debt outstanding under our revolving credit facility. A 100 basis point change in LIBOR rates would result in an approximately $10 million change in our interest expense over the ensuing twelve-month period.

Other expense, net. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, other expense, net of $2.7 million and $4.7 million, respectively, was comprised of net periodic pension expense and foreign currency translation loss.

Income tax benefit. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and 2019, we recorded income tax expense or the cash requirements to pay our income taxes.

In evaluating LifeWorks Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware thatbenefit of $5.7 million and $57.5 million, respectively. The $51.8 million reduction in the future we may incur expenses similar to those eliminated in this presentation.

Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Data

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial data consists of our unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations and unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2018, and our unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2018. You should read the information set forth below together with the “Results of Operations” section above, the historical condensed consolidated financial statements and the corresponding notes included elsewhere in this Form10-Q. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations and unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2018, have been adjusted to give effecttax benefit was primarily due to the distribution of shares of LifeWorks. The stockholders will receive these interests in a taxable distribution; and based on current estimates of$65.8 million tax benefit from the value of our interest in LifeWorks at the time of the disposition, we currently anticipate that we will incur approximately $3.2 million of foreign taxes and use approximately $96.0 million of our U.S. federal net operating losses to offset the U.S. tax gain. The net operating losses are currently subject to a full valuation allowance, therefore, the tax gain recognition and resulting use of the net operating loss and release of the valuation allowance result in no anticipated U.S.recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, that was not repeated during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, partially offset by a $12.3 million reduction attributable to lower base erosion anti-abuse tax expense.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet, statement of operations, and statement of cash flows have been derived from our historical condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form10-Q. The statements are for informational purposes only and do not purport to represent what our financial position and results of operations actually would have been had the LifeWorks disposition occurred on the dates indicated, or to project our financial performance for any future period.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet adjustments assume that our distribution of LifeWorks occurred as of March 31, 2018. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations and unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of cash flows assume that the separation occurred as of January 1, 2018.

The adjustment amounts primarily represent the LifeWorks segment amounts as presented in our financial statements with the addition of $3.2 million of foreign tax expense expected to be incurred by Ceridian as a result of expected gains recognized on the taxable distribution of LifeWorks to our stockholders. The adjustment to the income tax expense is comprised of two components: (i) the elimination of the LifeWorks tax expense of $1.0 million, and (ii) the addition of the $3.2 million expected tax expense to be incurred on the distribution. No pro forma adjustments are necessary for the expected use of net operating losses to offset taxable gains expected(“BEAT”) in the U.S., as they are subjectand a $1.8 million reduction attributable to unremitted foreign earnings.

Net income. Net income was $13.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $80.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, which included a full valuation allowanceone-time $65.8 million tax benefit.

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA declined by $14.3 million to $125.9 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019, and would not have an impactAdjusted EBITDA margin was 20.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared with 23.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity are our existing cash and equivalents, cash provided by operating activities, borrowings under our credit facilities, and proceeds from equity offerings. As of March 31, 2018,September 30, 2020, we had cash and equivalents of $62.2$554.6 million. On April 2, 2020, in light of the current uncertainty in the global capital markets resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, Ceridian elected to borrow $295.0 million under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility as a precautionary measure to increase our cash position and availability under our revolving credit facility of $45.0 million. No cash amounts were drawn on the revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2018.to preserve financial flexibility. Our total indebtednessdebt balance was $1,132.0 $970.8million as of March 31, 2018.September 30, 2020.

On February 19, 2020, Ceridian completed the first amendment to the 2018 Senior Secured Credit Facility, in which the 2018 Term Debt interest rate was reduced from LIBOR plus 3.00% to LIBOR plus 2.50%. Further, the interest rate trigger under the applicable rating by Moody’s Investor Service was removed by the first amendment.The 50 basis point rate reduction will result in savings of approximately $3.4 million over the ensuing twelve-month period. Please refer to Note 9,7, “Debt,” to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information on our indebtedness.debt.

Our primary liquidity needs are related to funding of general business requirements, including the payment of interest and principal on our indebtedness, working capital,debt, capital expenditures, pension contributions, and product development.

Concurrently with closing of the IPO and the concurrent private placement on April 30, 2018, we applied the net proceeds to satisfy and discharge the indenture governing our outstanding $475.0 million principal amount Senior Notes, and they will be redeemed on May 30, 2018. We also refinanced our remaining indebtedness under our (i) $702.0 million (original principal amount) Senior Term Debt and (ii) $130.0 million Revolving Credit Facility, accrued interest and related costs and expenses, with new senior credit facilities consisting of a $680.0 million term loan debt facility and a $300.0 million revolving credit facility. Please refer to Note 19, “Subsequent Events,” for further discussion of these transactions.

Our customer trust funds are held and invested with the primary objectives being to protect the principal balance and to ensure adequate liquidity to meet cash flow requirements and to protect the principal balance.requirements. In accordance with these objectives, we maintain on average approximately 45%47% of customer trust funds in liquidity portfolios with maturities ranging from one to 120 days, consisting of high-quality bank deposits, money market mutual funds, commercial paper, or collateralized short-term investments; and we maintain on average approximately 55%53% of customer trust funds in fixed income portfolios with maturities ranging from 120 days to 10 years, consisting of U.S. Treasury and agency securities, Canada government and provincial securities, as well as highly rated asset-backed, mortgage- backed,mortgage-backed, municipal, corporate, and bank securities. To maintain sufficient liquidity in the trust to meet payment obligations, we also have financing arrangements and may pledge fixed income securities for short-term financing. The assets held in trust are intended for the specific purpose of satisfying client fund obligations and therefore are not freely available for our general business use.

We believe that our cash flow from operations, available cash and equivalents, and remaining availability under our revolving credit facility and available cash and equivalents will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for the foreseeable future. We anticipate that to the extent that we require additional liquidity, it will be funded through the issuance of equity, the incurrence of additional indebtedness, or a combination thereof. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain this additional liquidity on reasonable terms, or at all. Additionally, our liquidity and our ability to meet our obligations and to fund our capital requirements are also dependent on our future financial performance, which is subject to general economic, financial, and other factors that are beyond our control. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that future borrowings will be available from additional indebtedness or otherwise to meet our liquidity needs. Although we have no specific current plans to do so, if we decide to pursue one or more significant acquisitions, we may incur additional debt or sell additional equity to finance such acquisitions, which would result in additional expenses or dilution.

Forward-Looking Statements38


Table of Contents

The foregoing Management’s Discussion

Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the following Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk contain certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements represent our expectations or beliefs, including, but not limited to, our expectations concerning our operations and financial performance and condition. Words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “assumes,” “projects,” “could,” “may,” “will,” “should,” and similar expressionsAdjusted EBITDA margin are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statementsas supplemental measures of our performance that are not guaranteesrequired by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin should not be considered as alternatives to net income, earnings per share, or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP, or as measures of operating cash flows or liquidity. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin should not be construed to imply that our future results will be unaffected by these items. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are included in this discussion because they are key metrics used by management to assess our operating performance.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are not defined under GAAP, are not measures of net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP, and are subject to certain risksimportant limitations. Our use of the terms Adjusted EBITDA and uncertaintiesAdjusted EBITDA margin may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies in our industry and are not measures of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin have important limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are that are difficult to predict. Our actual results could differ materially from those containedAdjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin do not reflect the following:

our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

any charges for the assets being depreciated and amortized that may need to be replaced in the future;

the impact of share-based compensation and related employer taxes upon our results of operations;

the significant interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;

our income tax expense or the cash requirements to pay our income taxes; and

certain other non-recurring charges.

In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, you should be aware that in the forward-looking statements duefuture we may incur expenses similar to risks and uncertainties associated with fluctuationsthose eliminated in our quarterly operating results, concentrationthis presentation.

Table of the Prospectus. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law or the terms of our indebtedness. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating any forward-looking statements contained herein.Contents

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risks related to foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, and pension obligations. We seek to minimize or to manage these market risks through normal operating and financing activities. These market risks may be amplified by events and factors surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. We do not trade or use instruments with the objective of earning financial gains on the market fluctuations, nor do we use instruments where there are not underlying exposures.

Foreign Currency Risk. Our results of operations and cash flows are subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, particularly changes in the Canadian Dollar. Due to the relative size of our international operations to date, we have not instituted an active hedging program. We expect our international operations to continue to grow in the near term, and we are monitoring the foreign currency exposure to determine if we should begin a hedging program.

Interest Rate Risk. In connection with our U.S. and Canadian payroll and tax filing services, we collect funds for payment of payroll and taxes; temporarily hold such funds in trust until payment is due; remit the funds to the customers’ employees and appropriate taxing authority; file federal, state and local tax returns; and handle related regulatory correspondence and amendments. We invest the U.S. customer trust funds primarily in high- quality bank deposits, money market mutual funds, or collateralized short-term investments. We may also invest these funds in U.S. Treasury and agency securities, as well as highly rated asset-backed, mortgage-backed, municipal, and corporate securities. Our Canadian customer trust funds are invested in securities issued by the government and provinces of Canada, highly rated Canadian banks and corporations, asset-backed trusts, and mortgages.

We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes. Our cash equivalents and our portfolio of marketable securities are subject to market risk due to changes in interest rates. Fixed rate securities may have their market value adversely affected due to a rise in interest rates, while floating rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest rates fall. Due in part to these factors, our future investment income may fall short of expectation due to changes in interest rates or we may suffer losses in principal if we are forced to sell securities that decline in market value due to changes in interest rates. However, because we classify our securities as “available for sale,” no gains or losses are recognized due to changes in interest rates unless such securities are sold prior to maturity or declines in fair value are determined to be other-than-temporary.unrecoverable.

We do not believe that an increase or decrease in interest rates of 100 basis points would have a material effect on our operating results or financial condition. Fluctuations in the value of our investment securities caused by a change in interest rates (gains or losses on the carrying value) are recorded in other comprehensive income, and are realized only if we sell the underlying securities.

Pension Obligation Risk. We provide a pension plan for certain current and former U.S. employees that closed to new participants on January 2, 1995. In 2007, the U.S. pension plan was amended (1) to exclude from further participation any participant or former participant who was not employed by the company or another participating employer on January 1, 2008, (2) to discontinue participant contributions, and (3) to freeze the accrual of additional benefits as of December 31, 2007. In applying relevant accounting policies, we have made critical estimates related to actuarial assumptions, including assumptions of expected returns on plan assets, discount rates, and health care cost trends. The cost of pension benefits in future periods will depend on actual returns on plan assets, assumptions for future periods, contributions, and benefit experience. In 2017,October 2020, we contributed $25.3$105.0 million to the U.S. pension plan, which represented $17.0 million of required minimum contributions and $88.0 million of voluntary contributions. In 2019, we contributed $18.0 million to our U.S. pension plan. The effective discount rate used in accounting for pension and other benefit obligations in 20172019 ranged from 3.01%2.52% to 3.25%2.81%. The expected rate of return on plan assets for qualified pension benefits in 20182020 is 6.30%5.70%.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management has evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosureDisclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule13(a)-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form10-Q pursuant to Rule13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosureAct, are controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form10-Qthat are effective at a reasonable assurance level in ensuringdesigned to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported in a timely manner and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management includinghas evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expectthe effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. We have not engaged an independent registered accounting firm to perform an audit of our internal control over financial reporting as of any balance sheet date or for any period reported in our financial statements. Presently, we are not an accelerated filer, as such term is defined by Rule12b-2the end of the Exchange Act, therefore; our management is not presently required to perform an annual assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. This requirement could apply as early as our Annual Report onperiod covered by this Form10-K for the year ending December 31, 2019 if certain triggers requiring accelerated filing deadlines 10-Q are met prior to that. Our independent public registered accounting firm will first be required to attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for our Annual Report on Form10-K for the first year we are no longer an “emerging growth company”.effective. While our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of their effectiveness, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes to our internal controlcontrols over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2018,September 30, 2020, that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controlcontrols over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

From time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. We are not presently a party to any legal proceedings that, if determined adversely to us, we believe would individually or taken together have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or liquidity. Discussion of Legal Matters is incorporated by reference from Part I, Item 1, Note 14, “Commitments and Contingencies,” of this Form 10-Q and should be considered an integral part of Part II, Item 1, “Legal Proceedings”.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the reader should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. There have been no material changes in the Company's risk factors from those disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 with the exception of the items listed below.

Our business has been adversely affected and will likely continue to be adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The global spread of the COVID-19 pandemic has created significant global volatility, uncertainty, and economic disruption. The COVID-19 pandemic began to adversely affect our operations in March 2020.  The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to adversely affect our business, operations, and financial results will depend on numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict, including but not limited to:

the duration and scope of the pandemic;

governmental, business, and individuals’ actions that have been and continue to be taken in response to the pandemic;

the impact of the pandemic on economic activity and actions taken in response;

the declining employment levels of our customers;

the effect on our customers’ demand for or the delays in implementing our services;

our ability to sell and to provide our services to our current and future customers, including as a result of travel restrictions and people working from home;

the ability of our customers to pay for our services or to make us whole for advances of earned net wages and associated tax amounts made on their behalf by us; and

our ability to safely and efficiently navigate our employees’ return to the workplace and adapt to the evolving business environment resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Existing or potential customers have and may continue to reduce employee headcount, to slow down decision-making, to delay planned work, or to seek to modify existing agreements, especially those customers significantly adversely affected by the pandemic’s economic impact in areas where we have significant concentrations, including the retail and hospitality sectors.

Further, the effects of the pandemic have and may continue to reduce our float revenue as our customers employ fewer employees and as governments take actions to stimulate the global economy, such as the U.S. Federal Reserve and Bank of Canada lowering interest rates. A sustained downturn in the financial markets and asset values may have the effect of reducing our float revenue, or limiting our ability to liquidate securities held in our customer trust funds. The effects of the pandemic, including remote working arrangements for employees, may also impact our financial reporting systems and internal control over financial reporting, including our ability to ensure information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our principalmanagement, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  

Any of these consequences of the pandemic could cause or contribute to the risks thatand uncertainties enumerated in the Form 10-K.  As we believe are materialcannot predict the duration or scope of the COVID-19 pandemic, the anticipated negative financial impact to our business, financial condition, results of operations and/or stock price cannot be reasonably estimated, but could be material and could last for an extended period of time.

Table of Contents

Our quarterly results of operations may fluctuate significantly and may not fully reflect the underlying performance of our business.

Our quarterly results of operations, including the levels of our revenues, gross margin, profitability, cash flow, and deferred revenue, may vary significantly in the future, and period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations may not be meaningful. Accordingly, the results of any one quarter should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance. Our quarterly financial results may fluctuate as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control, and as a result, may not fully reflect the underlying performance of our business. Fluctuation in quarterly results may negatively impact the value of our common stock. Factors that may cause fluctuations in our quarterly financial results include, without limitation:

our ability to attract new Cloud customers;

our ability to replace declining Bureau revenue with Cloud revenue;

the addition or loss of large Cloud customers, including through acquisitions or consolidations;

the addition or loss of employees by our Cloud customers;

the timing and number of paydays in a period;

the adoption of the Dayforce Wallet by customers and their employees;

the losses, if any, caused by customer failure to repay advances we make on their behalf for our Dayforce Wallet or other services;

the timing of recognition of revenues;

the tenure of our Cloud customers during that period;

the amount and timing of operating expenses related to the maintenance and expansion of our business, operations, and infrastructure;

network outages or security breaches;

general economic, industry, and market conditions;

customer renewal rates;

increases or decreases in the number of elements of our services or pricing changes upon any renewals of customer agreements;

changes in our pricing policies or those of our competitors;

the mix of applications sold during a period;

seasonal variations in sales of our applications, which has historically been highest in the fourth quarter of a calendar year;

fluctuation in market interest rates, which impacts debt interest expense as well as float revenue;

the timing and success of new application and service introductions by us or our competitors or any other change in the competitive dynamics of our industry, including consolidation among competitors, customers, or strategic partners; and

the impact of new accounting rules.

Our Dayforce Wallet program presents the potential for our employer customers or employee customers to become the victim of fraud or other similar illegal behavior.

As part of the Dayforce Wallet program, our third-party financial institution partner will issue payroll cards and execute transactions for each Dayforce Wallet account. These transactions give rise to the potential for fraud against our employer customers or employee customers when they are used for bill payments, purchases and peer-to-peer transfers. Our third-party financial institution partner has responsibility for managing potential payment fraud to which the Dayforce Wallet users are subject. If any of our employer customers or employee customers become victims of fraud or similar illegal behavior, we might face legal liabilities and other losses that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our solutions and our business are subject to a variety of U.S. and international laws and regulations, including those regarding privacy, data protection, and information security. Any failure by us or our third party service providers, as well as the failure of our platform or services, to comply with applicable laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We are subject to a variety of U.S. and international laws and regulations, including regulation by various federal government agencies, including the FTC, and state and local agencies.

Privacy and Data Protection Laws

The United States and various state and foreign governments have adopted or proposed limitations on, or requirements regarding, the collection, distribution, use, security, and storage of personal identifiable information (“PII”) of individuals; and the FTC and many state attorneys general are applying federal and state consumer protection laws to impose standards on the online collection, use and dissemination of data. Self-regulatory obligations, other industry standards, policies, and other legal obligations may apply to our collection, distribution, use, security, or storage of PII or other data relating to individuals. In addition, most states and some foreign governments have enacted laws requiring companies to notify individuals of data security breaches involving certain types of PII. These obligations may be interpreted and applied in an inconsistent manner from one jurisdiction to another and may conflict with one another, other regulatory requirements, or our internal practices. Any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with U.S., E.U., or other foreign privacy or security laws, regulations, policies, industry standards, or legal obligations, or any security incident that results in the unauthorized access to, or acquisition, release, or transfer of, PII may result in governmental enforcement actions, litigation, fines and penalties, or adverse publicity and could cause our customers to lose trust in us, which could harm our reputation and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We expect that there will continue to be new proposed laws, regulations, and industry standards concerning privacy, data protection and information security in the United States, Canada, the European Union, and other jurisdictions, and we cannot yet determine the impact such future laws, regulations, and standards may have on our business. For example, in May 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation came into force, bringing with it a complete overhaul of E.U. data protection laws: the new rules supersede E.U. data protection legislation, impose more stringent E.U. data protection requirements, and provide for greater penalties for non-compliance. Changing definitions of what constitutes PII may also limit or inhibit our ability to operate or to expand our business, including limiting strategic partnerships that may involve the sharing of data. Also, some jurisdictions require that certain types of data be retained on servers within these jurisdictions. Our failure to comply with applicable laws, directives, and regulations may result in enforcement action against us, including fines and imprisonment, and damage to our reputation, any of which may have an adverse effect on our business and operating results. Further, the E.U. requires that certain data transfer mechanisms be put in place before PII can be transferred from the E.U. to another jurisdiction. These validity of these mechanisms- namely the Privacy Shield, which permits US-based participating companies such as Ceridian to move PII from the E.U. to the US; and the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, which Ceridian uses extensively- continue to be challenged by civil society before E.U. regulators and courts of law. Should these mechanisms be invalidated, Ceridian may not be able to transfer customers’ PII and its own from Europe to the U.S. and other jurisdictions to run its business and deliver services to customers.  

If our service is perceived to cause, or is otherwise unfavorably associated with, violations of privacy or data security requirements, it may subject us or our customers to public criticism and potential legal liability. Public concerns regarding PII processing, privacy and security may cause some of our customers’ end users to be less likely to visit their websites or otherwise interact with them. If enough end users choose not to visit our customers’ websites or otherwise interact with them, our customers could stop using our platform. This, in turn, may reduce the value of our services and slow or eliminate the growth of our business. Existing and potential privacy laws and regulations concerning privacy and data security and increasing sensitivity of consumers to unauthorized processing of PII may create negative public reactions to technologies, products, and services such as ours.

Evolving and changing definitions of what constitutes PII and / or “Personal Data” within the United States, Canada, the European Union, and elsewhere, especially relating to the classification of internet protocol, or IP addresses, machine or device identification numbers, location data and other information, may limit or inhibit our ability to operate or to expand our business. Future laws, regulations, standards and other obligations could impair our ability to collect or to use information that we utilize to provide email delivery and marketing services to our customers, thereby impairing our ability to maintain and to grow our customer base and to increase revenue. Future restrictions on the collection, use, sharing, or disclosure of our customers’ data or additional requirements for express or implied consent of customers for the use and disclosure of such information may limit our ability to develop new services and features.

Financial Services Laws

The United States and various state and foreign governments have adopted regulations which may be applicable to our Dayforce Wallet or other services with which we and/or or our third-party providers must comply. The obligations include undertakings imposed, for example, by state money transmission laws, commercial lending laws, the Office of Foreign Asset Control, the Bank Secrecy Act, Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and the National Automated Clearing House Association. Any failure or perceived failure by us or one of our third party providers to comply with financial services laws, regulations, policies, industry standards, or legal obligations, may result in governmental enforcement actions, litigation, fines and penalties, or adverse publicity, and could cause our customers to lose trust in us, which could harm our reputation and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We rely on third party service providers for many aspects of our business, including, but not limited to, the operation of data centers; the execution of Automated Clearing House, or ACH, and wire transfers to support our customer payroll and tax services; the monitoring of applicable laws; the printing and delivery of checks; serving as an independent trustee of our U.S. client funds trust; and providing program management and other financial related services for our Dayforce Wallet program. If any third-party service providers on which we rely experience a disruption, go out of business, experience a decline in quality, or terminate their relationship with us, we could experience a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operation.

We rely on third party service providers for many integral aspects of our business. A failure on the part of any of our third-party service providers to fulfill their contracts with us could result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operation. We depend on our third parties for many services, including, but not limited to:

Upkeep of data centers

We host Dayforce and Powerpay applications and serve all of our customers from data centers operated by third party providers, primarily NaviSite, in Boston, Massachusetts; Redhill, England; Santa Clara, California; Toronto, Canada; Vancouver, Canada; Woking, England; Sydney, Australia; London, England; and Oregon. We also host Dayforce Australia in Microsoft Azure in Melbourne, Australia and Sydney, Australia. While we control and have access to our servers and all of the components of our network that are located in our external data centers, we do not control the operation of these facilities. The owners of our data center facilities have no obligation to renew their agreements with us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. These parties may also seek to cap their maximum contractual liability resulting in us being financially responsible for losses caused by their actions or omissions. Additionally, we host our internal systems through data centers that we operate and lease or own in Atlanta, Georgia; Fountain Valley, California; Louisville, Kentucky; and St. Petersburg, Florida. If we are unable to renew our agreements with our third party providers or to renew our leases on commercially reasonable terms, or if one of our data center operators is acquired, we may be required to transfer our servers and other infrastructure to new data center facilities, and we may incur significant costs and possible service interruption in connection with any such transfer. Both our third party data centers and data centers that we lease and operate are subject to break-ins, sabotage, intentional acts of vandalism, and other misconduct. Any such acts could result in a breach of the security of our or our customers’ data.

Problems faced by our third party data center locations, with the telecommunications network providers with whom we or they contract, or with the systems by which our telecommunications providers allocate capacity among their customers, including us, could adversely affect the experience of our customers. Our third party data centers operators could decide to close their facilities without adequate notice. In addition, any financial difficulties, such as bankruptcy, faced by our third party data centers operators or any of the service providers with whom we or they contract may have negative effects on our business, the nature and extent of which are difficult to predict. Additionally, if our data centers are unable to keep up with our growing needs for capacity, this could adversely affect the growth of our business. Any changes in third party service levels at our data centers or any security breaches, errors, defects, disruptions, or other performance problems with our applications could adversely affect our reputation, damage our customers’ stored files, result in lengthy interruptions in our services, or otherwise result in damage or losses to our customers for which they may seek compensation from us. Interruptions in our services might reduce our revenues, cause us to issue refunds to customers for prepaid and unused subscription services, subject us to potential liability, or adversely affect our renewal rates.

Processing of electronic funds transfers

We currently have agreements with four banks in the United States, two banks in Canada, and one financial payments company in the United Kingdom to execute electronic funds transfers to support our customer payroll and tax services in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. If one or more of these parties fails to process electronic funds transfers on a timely basis, or at all, then our relationship with our customers could be harmed and we could be subject to claims by a customer with respect to the failed transfers, with little or no recourse to the banks. In addition, these parties have no obligation to renew their agreements with us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, and transferring to alternative providers could prove time-consuming and costly. If these parties terminate their relationships with us, restrict or fail to increase the dollar amounts of funds that they will process on behalf of our customers, their doing so may impede our ability to process funds and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Check printing and delivery

In Canada, we rely on a third party vendor to print payroll checks, and in Canada and the United States we rely on third party couriers, such as Federal Express and Purolator, to ship printed reports, year-end slips, and pay checks to our customers. Relying on third party check printers and couriers puts us at risk from disruptions in their operations, such as employee strikes, inclement weather, and their ability to perform tasks on our behalf. If these vendors fail to perform their tasks, we could incur liability or suffer damages to our reputation, or both. If we are forced to use other third party couriers, transferring to these competitor couriers could prove time-consuming, our costs could increase and we may not be able to meet shipment deadlines. Moreover, we may not be able to obtain terms as favorable as those we currently use, which could further increase our costs.

Monitoring of changes to applicable laws

We and our third party providers must monitor for any changes or updates in laws that are applicable to the solutions that we or our third party providers provide to our customers. In addition, we are reliant on our third party providers to modify the solutions that they provide to our customers to enable our clients to comply with changes to such laws and regulations. If our third party providers fail to reflect changes or updates in applicable laws in the solutions that they provide to our customers, we could be subject to negative customer experiences, harm to our reputation, loss of customers, claims for any fines, penalties or other damages suffered by our customers, and other financial harm.

Trustee of U.S. client funds trust

In the United States, we rely on a state-chartered trust company to serve as the independent trustee of our clients’ funds trust. Our client funds are held in accounts in the name of the clients’ fund trust and our independent trustee, in order to maintain bankruptcy remoteness of those funds from us.  We rely on our independent trustee to maintain regulatory compliance with all applicable laws. It may be difficult to find a replacement trustee for our clients’ funds trust in the event the trustee terminates its relationship with us or fails to perform under our agreement with the trustee. If that were to occur, we may be unable to provide the Dayforce Wallet or our standard payroll services to our customers and their employees, which could harm our relationship with our customers and their employees, could subject us to claims by a customer, their employees, and regulatory sanctions with respect to the failure, and could result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Program manager of our U.S. Dayforce Wallet program

We rely on a third party financial institution to serve as the issuing bank, the program manager and perform other financial related services with respect to our Dayforce Wallet product. In that regard, the third party financial institution, among other things, maintains our omnibus wallet funds account and performs the necessary regulatory and payments processing activity required by the Dayforce Wallet platform. We do not have the necessary regulatory approvals to hold wallet funds in or move funds from an account, nor do we have access to the payment systems needed to move the funds from the omnibus wallet funds account and the omnibus card holder account. As a result, if our third party financial institution partner fails to perform under our agreement with it, or terminates its agreement with us, we may be unable to provide the Dayforce Wallet service to our customers until we enter into a new relationship with a new third party financial institution, which could harm our relationship with our customers and their employees, could subject us to claims by a customer, their employees, and regulatory sanctions with respect to the failure, and could result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

A failure on the part of any of our third party service providers could result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

For our Dayforce Wallet service, we advance earned net wages and associated tax amounts on behalf of customers in connection with the “on demand pay” payroll feature of the service in order to provide their employees access to earned wages in advance of their standard payroll cycles. A customer may fail to satisfy its obligation to repay us for those advanced monies which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

In contrast to our standard payroll processing business where a customer’s account is generally debited prior to any disbursement on its behalf, in the case of our “on demand pay” service, credit is provided to our customers and funds are advanced on the customers’ behalf in order to fund the customers’ employees’ interim earned net wage payroll demands (including associated source and other deductions) with the requirement that the customers will repay the advance on the date of their ordinary payroll run. These advances may or may not have priority over other creditors of our customers, and our security interest and/or other credit protection measures may be inadequate to make us whole. There is, therefore, a risk that our customers do not pay back the amounts we have already paid on their behalf, and in that event, we may possess limited legal recourse to recoup those funds from our customers. In the event of a customer’s failure to repay us, we may be required to seek additional sources of short-term liquidity, which may not be available on reasonable terms, or suffer credit losses, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Regulatory requirements placed on our software and services could impose increased costs on us, delay or prevent our introduction of new products and services, and impair the function or value of our existing products and services.

Our existing products and services may become subject to increasing regulatory requirements, or our new products and services may subject us to increased regulatory requirements, and as these requirements proliferate, we may be required to change or adapt our products and services to comply. Changing regulatory requirements might render our products and services obsolete or might block us from developing new products and services. New products or services, such as the Dayforce Wallet, in turn subject us to incrementally new regulatory requirements, such as the need to obtain, maintain and comply with commercial lending licenses or other requirements

in certain jurisdictions. These increased regulatory demands might in turn impose additional costs upon us to comply or to further develop our products and services. It might also make introduction of new products and services more costly or more time-consuming than we currently anticipate and could even prevent introduction by us of new products or services or cause the continuation of our existing products or services to become more costly. Accordingly, such regulatory requirements could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Catastrophic events may disrupt our business.

Our data centers are located in Atlanta, Georgia; Fountain Valley, California; Louisville, Kentucky; St. Petersburg, Florida. Additionally, our data centers hosted by third parties and our corporate offices are located in Boston, Massachusetts; Melbourne, Australia; Minneapolis, Minnesota; Redhill, England; Santa Clara, California; Sydney, Australia; Toronto, Canada; Vancouver, Canada; Woking, England; London, England; and Oregon. Any location in any part of the world is susceptible to natural disasters or other risks beyond our control and its third party contractors that could impact operations. For example, the west coast of the United States contains active earthquake zones, the Midwest is subject to periodic tornadoes, and the east coast is subject to seasonal hurricanes and snowstorms. Additionally, we employ a substantial number of employees located in the Republic of Mauritius, which is subject to seasonal hurricanes, and the geographic remoteness of the location may create additional delays in recovery from any catastrophic event. Additionally, we rely on our network and third party infrastructure and enterprise applications, internal technology systems, and our website for our development, marketing, operational support, hosted services and sales activities. In the event of a major earthquake, tornado, hurricane, pandemic or other public health emergency or catastrophic event, such as fire, power loss, telecommunications failure, cyber-attack, war, or terrorist attack in any of our domestic or international locations, we may be unable to continue our operations and may endure system interruptions, reputational harm, delays in our application development, lengthy interruptions in our services, breaches of data security and loss of critical data, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Customer funds and wage funds of their employees that our trustees and third-party financial institution partners hold in trust are subject to market, interest rate, credit, and liquidity risks. The loss of these funds could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Both our trustees (in the case of customer funds held in our U.S. clients’ funds trust and our Canada payroll trust) and our third party financial institution partner (in the case of employee wage funds held on their behalf as part of the U.S. Dayforce Wallet program) may invest funds in one of more of the following high-quality bank deposits, money market mutual funds, commercial paper, collateralized short-term investments, U.S. Treasury and agency securities, Canada government and provincial securities, as well as highly rated asset-backed, mortgage-backed, municipal, corporate, and bank securities. Nevertheless, these 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. We are required to fund the payroll and wage funds of our customers and their employees regardless of any loss realized on those investments affecting the principal funds held. In the event of a global financial crisis, such as that experienced in 2008, we could be faced with a severe constriction of the availability of liquidity, which could impact our ability to fund payrolls. Any loss of principal, or inability to access customer funds could have an adverse impact on our cash position and results of operations and could require us to obtain additional sources of liquidity, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, from the risk factors previously disclosed in the prospectus, dated April 25, 2018, filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) with the SEC on April 26, 2018, relating to our initial public offering which is accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.and results of operations.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Initial Public OfferingNone.

On April 30, 2018, we completed an initial public offering (“IPO”) of our common stock. In connection with the IPO, we issued and sold 24,150,000 shares of common stock at a price to the public of $22.00 per share. Prior to completion of the IPO, those shares were unregistered. However, as a result of their registration and sale pursuant to the IPO, we received approximately $531.3 million in gross proceeds before deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and other offering related expenses. None of the expenses associated with the IPO were paid to directors, officers, persons owning 10% or more of any class of our equity securities or to their associates or to our affiliates. Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC acted as representatives of the underwriters for the offering.

We registered the shares under the Securities Act on a Registration Statement on FormS-1 (RegistrationNo. 333-223905), which was filed with the SEC on March 26, 2018 and declared effective on April 25, 2018.

The IPO closed on April 30, 2018. The offering terminated after all of the shares of common stock were sold.

There was no material change in the planned use of proceeds from our IPO as described in our Prospectus.

Concurrent Private Placement

Immediately subsequent to our IPO on April 30, 2018, THL / Cannae Investors LLC, one of our existing stockholders controlled by our Sponsors, purchased from us in a private placement $100.0 million of our common stock at a price per share equal to the initial public offering price. Based on the IPO price of $22.00 per share, 4,545,455 shares were issued in this private placement.
