Paylocity Announces Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2014 Financial Results

·Total Revenue of $33.8 million, up 41% year over year

·Recurring Revenue of $31.2 million, up 40% year over year

·Completed initial public offering raising net proceeds of $82 million

Arlington Heights, IL. — May 8, 2014 — Paylocity Holding Corporation (Nasdaq: PCTY), a cloud-based provider of payroll and human capital management software solutions, today announced financial results for its third quarter of fiscal year 2014, which ended March 31, 2014.

“Our third quarter results demonstrated that our business continues to perform well across all of our key metrics,” said Steve Beauchamp, President and Chief Executive Officer of Paylocity.  “The third quarter is always our highest revenue quarter and this year was no exception. However, not only did we see the seasonal boost of high gross margin fees for annual filings, we saw higher demand for our cloud-based, unified payroll and HCM solutions as mid-sized companies seek to leverage their payroll system to more proactively manage their human capital.  We believe we are in the early stages of a major market share shift from traditional payroll service providers to cloud-based software and that Paylocity is uniquely positioned to capitalize on this trend in a multi-billion dollar market opportunity.”

Beauchamp added, “Our recent IPO was a key milestone for Paylocity which further increases our market profile and provides additional financial resources to execute on our growth initiatives.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures in this release, including Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted gross profit, adjusted recurring gross profit, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position or cash flow that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, taxes, and depreciation and amortization expense, adjusted to eliminate stock-based compensation expense. Adjusted gross profit and adjusted recurring gross profit are adjusted for stock-based compensation expense and amortization of capitalized research and development costs. Non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share are adjusted for stock-based compensation expense. Please note that other companies may define their non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do. Management presents certain non-GAAP financial measures in this release because it considers them to be important supplemental measures of performance. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures for planning purposes, including analysis of the company’s performance against prior periods, the preparation of operating budgets and to determine appropriate levels of operating and capital investments. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide additional insight for analysts and investors in evaluating the company’s financial and operational performance. Management also intends to provide these non-GAAP financial measures as part of the company’s future earnings discussions and, therefore, the inclusion of the non-GAAP financial measures should provide consistency in the company’s financial reporting. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures provided in this release.
