Financial Outlook

Paycom provides the following expected financial guidance for the quarter ending March 31, 2016 and year ending December 31, 2016:

Quarter Ending March 31, 2016

Total Revenues in the range of $82 million to $84 million.

Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $21 million to $23 million.

Year Ending December 31, 2016

Total Revenues in the range of $309 million to $311 million.

Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $63 million to $65 million.

We have not reconciled the Adjusted EBITDA ranges for the quarter ending March 31, 2016 or the year ending December 31, 2016 to net income because applicable information for future periods, on which this reconciliation would be based, is not readily available due to uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, taxes, stock-based compensation expense and other items. Accordingly, a reconciliation of these Adjusted EBITDA ranges to net income is not available at this time without unreasonable effort.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), we consider and have included certain non-GAAP financial measures in this press release, including Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income. We use Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income as supplemental measures to review and assess our performance and for planning purposes. We define: (i) Adjusted EBITDA as net income plus interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, certain transaction expenses that are not core to our operations and net loss on early repayment of debt and (ii) non-GAAP net income as net income plus tax adjusted stock-based compensation expense, certain tax adjusted transaction expenses that are not core to our operations and tax adjusted net loss on early repayment of debt. Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income are metrics that we believe are useful to investors in evaluating our performance and facilitating comparison with other peer companies, many of which use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement results under GAAP.

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