Financial Highlights for the First Quarter of 2017

Total Revenues of $119.5 million represented a 33% increase compared to total revenues of $90.1 million in the same period last year. Recurring revenues of $118 million increased 33% from the comparable prior year period, and constituted 99% of total revenues.

¹ Adjusted EBITDA andnon-GAAP net income arenon-GAAP financial measures. Please see the discussion below under the heading “Use ofNon-GAAP Financial Information” and the reconciliations at the end of this release for additional information concerning thesenon-GAAP financial measures.

Financial Outlook

Paycom provides the following expected financial guidance for the quarter ending June 30, 2017 and the year ending December 31, 2017:

Quarter Ending June 30, 2017

Total Revenues in the range of $94.5 million to $96.5 million.

Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $22.0 million to $24.0 million.

Year Ending December 31, 2017

Total Revenues in the range of $426.0 million to $428.0 million.

Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $117.0 million to $119.0 million.

We have not reconciled the Adjusted EBITDA ranges for the quarter ending June 30, 2017 or the year ending December 31, 2017 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,non-cash 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 ofNon-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 certainnon-GAAP financial measures in this press release, including Adjusted EBITDA andnon-GAAP net income. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA andnon-GAAP net income as supplemental measures to review and assess the performance of our core business operations and for planning purposes. We define: (i) Adjusted EBITDA as net income plus interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, andnon-cash stock-based compensation expense; and(ii) non-GAAP net income as net income plusnon-cash stock-based compensation expense, which is adjusted for the effect of income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA andnon-GAAP net income are metrics that provide investors with greater transparency to the information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. We believe these metrics are useful to investors because they facilitate comparisons of our core business operations across periods on a consistent basis, as well as comparisons with the results of peer companies, many of which use similarnon-GAAP financial measures to supplement results under GAAP. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is a measure that provides useful information to management about the amount of cash available for reinvestment in our business, repurchasing common stock and other purposes. Management believes that thenon-GAAP measures presented in this press release, when viewed in combination with our results prepared in accordance with GAAP, provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business and performance.

Adjusted EBITDA andnon-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 andnon-GAAP net income have limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing our operating performance, you should not consider Adjusted EBITDA ornon-GAAP net income in isolation, or as a substitute for net income or other consolidated statements of income data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA andnon-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.
