(1)Adjusted diluted earnings per share is not a United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principle (“GAAP”) measure. Adjusted diluted earnings per share in both periods included an adjustment for net tax windfall benefits related to employee stock-based compensation payments. In the prior year period, adjusted diluted earnings per share included an adjustment for one-time non-recurring cost saving initiatives. Please refer to the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section on page 3 of this press release for a discussion of non-GAAP measures and a reconciliation to the U.S. GAAP measure of diluted earnings per share.

Martin Mucci, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Fiscal 2022 is off to a strong start as we achieved double-digit growth in both revenue and earnings. These results reflected improvement in the economy, continued momentum in sales, and strong levels of client retention. Our sales performance was driven by ongoing strength in both digital and HR Outsourcing sales and solid growth in the mid-market space. Our client retention was a function of the resilience of small businesses and the value provided by our unique blend of technology solutions and expertise that help our clients navigate this challenging environment.
The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically altered the world of work and accelerated digital transformation for many businesses. Our latest annual Paychex Pulse of HR Report indicated that the current top challenge for HR professionals is recruiting talent. HR leaders also indicated that technology plays a crucial role in recruiting employees and maintaining an engaged workplace. Paychex continues to be a leader in innovative technology solutions, and our most recent product release introduced enhancements and new solutions focused on helping employers hire and retain top talent in this challenging environment.”
Mr. Mucci continued, “On August 26th, I had the pleasure of ringing the opening bell at the Nasdaq MarketSite in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Company. Over the past 50 years, Paychex has transitioned to become a technology-enabled service provider with more than 710,000 clients across the
1
U.S. and Europe. We have a track record of technological innovation backed by world class service and we continue to execute on our commitment to deliver HCM solutions that make life simple for our clients.”
First Quarter Business Highlights
Highlights as compared to the corresponding prior-year period are as follows:
Management Solutions revenue was $805.5 million, an increase of 17%, led by the following:
· |
Increase in our client base and penetration of our suite of solutions, primarily HR outsourcing and time and attendance. |
· |
Higher checks per client as our clients’ employees return to work. |
· |
Higher revenue per check reflecting better price realization. |
PEO and Insurance Solutions revenue was $262.9 million, an increase of 14%, driven by the following:
· |
Increase in the number of worksite employees and the impact of an increase in average wages per worksite employee. |
· |
Higher revenue on state unemployment insurance. |
· |
Increase in PEO health insurance revenue. |
Interest on funds held for clients decreased 3% to $14.5 million, impacted by the following:
· |
Increase in average investment balances; impacted by growth in our overall client base and improving macroeconomic conditions. |
Total expenses decreased 1% to $640.0 million. Excluding one-time costs of $31.2 million in the prior year, total expenses increased 4%, impacted by the following:
· |
As noted above, growth in PEO worksite employees and health insurance revenue led to an increase in PEO direct insurance costs. |
· |
Increase in fringe benefits to our employees, and |
· |
Continued investment in product development and information technology. |
Operating income increased 56% to $442.9 million as a result of double-digit revenue growth and slight expense reduction from the prior year. Operating margin (operating income as a percentage of total revenue) was 40.9% compared to 30.5% for the prior-year period. Adjusted operating income(1), which excludes the impact of one-time costs, increased 41% for the first quarter compared to the prior year. Adjusted operating margin(1) was 40.9% for the first quarter, compared to 33.8% for the prior year period.
(1) |
Adjusted operating income and adjusted operating margin are not U.S. GAAP measures. Adjusted operating margin is calculated as operating margin, adjusted for one-time non-recurring items, as a percentage of total revenue. Please refer to the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section on page 3 of this press release for a discussion of these non-GAAP measures and a reconciliation to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure of operating income. |
Our effective income tax rate was 24.9% compared to 23.4% for the prior-year period. This increase was the result of an increase in state taxes. Both periods were impacted by the recognition of net discrete tax benefits related to employee stock-based compensation payments.
2
Financial Position and Liquidity

· |
Cash, restricted cash, and total corporate investments of $1.2 billion. |

One-time costs and corresponding tax benefit recognized during fiscal 2021 related to the acceleration of cost-saving initiatives, including the long-term strategy to reduce our geographic footprint and headcount optimization. These events are not expected to recur. |
(3) |
Net tax windfall benefits related to employee stock-based compensation payments recognized in income taxes. This item is subject to volatility and will vary based on employee decisions on exercising employee stock options and fluctuations in our stock price, neither of which is within the control of management. |
(4) |
The calculation of the impact of non-GAAP adjustments on diluted earnings per share is performed on each line independently. The table may not add down by +/- $0.01 due to rounding. |
3
In addition to reporting operating income, net income, and diluted earnings per share, which are U.S. GAAP measures, we present adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”), and adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP measures. We believe these additional measures are indicators of our core business operations performance period over period. Adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA, are not calculated through the application of U.S. GAAP and are not required forms of disclosure by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). As such, they should not be considered a substitute for the U.S. GAAP measures of operating income, net income, and diluted earnings per share, and, therefore, they should not be used in isolation but in conjunction with the U.S. GAAP measures. The use of any non-GAAP measure may produce results that vary from the U.S. GAAP measure and may not be comparable to a similarly defined non-GAAP measure used by other companies.
Business Outlook
Our outlook for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2022 (“fiscal 2022”) incorporates current assumptions and market conditions. Changes in the macroeconomic environment could alter our guidance. With consideration of these impacts, we have updated our guidance as follows:
· |
Management Solutions revenue is now anticipated to grow approximately 8%; |
· |
Total revenue is also anticipated to grow approximately 8%; |
· |
Adjusted operating margin(1) is anticipated to increase to a range of 38% to 39%; |
· |
Adjusted EBITDA margin(1) is anticipated to increase to approximately 43%; |
· |
Other expense, net is now anticipated to be in the range of $23 million to $26 million; and |
· |
Adjusted diluted earnings per share(2) is now anticipated to grow in the range of 12% to 14%. |
Other aspects of our guidance for fiscal 2022 remain unchanged from what we provided previously.
(1) Adjusted operating margin and adjusted EBITDA margin are not U.S. GAAP measures. Adjusted operating margin is calculated as operating margin, adjusted for one-time non-recurring items, as a percentage of total revenue. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as net income, adjusted for interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and one-time non-recurring items, as a percentage of total revenue. We believe that the exclusion of certain one-time non-recurring items when calculating these measures provides a better indicator of our core business operations’ performance period over period.
(2) Adjusted diluted earnings per share is not a U.S. GAAP measure. Please refer to the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section on page 3 of this press release for a discussion of this non-GAAP measure and a reconciliation to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure of diluted earnings per share.
