PAYCHEX, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Management's discussion and analysis reviews the Company's operating results for the quarter ended November 30, 1996 and 1995, and its financial condition at November 30, 1996. The focus of this review is on the underlying business reasons for significant changes and trends affecting revenues, net income, and financial condition. This review should be read in conjunction with the May 31, 1996 Consolidated Financial Statements, and the related Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, as well as Form 8-K filed on July 9, 1996 which contained audited financial statements of National Business Solutions, Inc., discussed below. Forward-looking statements in this management's discussion and analysis are qualified by the cautionary statement at the end of this discussion. Results of operations for 1995 and 1996 have been restated to reflect Paychex' August 26, 1996 merger with National Business Solutions, Inc. (NBS) now Paychex Business Solutions, Inc. (PBS), a Professional Employer Organization (PEO) headquartered in St. Petersburg, Florida. The transaction was accounted for as a pooling of interests. On August 29, 1996 and November 21, 1996, the company acquired all of the outstanding stock of the Payroll Service, Inc. and Olsen Computer Systems, Inc., respectively, in exchange for approximately 448,000 total shares. The business combinations were accounted for as pooling of interests. Results of operations prior to the mergers have not been restated as the effects would be immaterial. Results of Operations _____________________ Paychex earned a record consolidated net income of $18.1 million or $.25 per share for the second quarter ended November 30, 1996, up 34% over consolidated net income of $13.5 million or $.19 per share for the same quarter last year. Consolidated revenue for the quarter reached $169.5 million, an increase of 30% over $129.9 million for the same period last year. For the six months ended November 30, 1996, net income increased 34% to $35.1 million or $.49 per share, compared to net income of $26.3 million or $.37 per share for the same period last year. Total revenue for the six month period reached $335.5 million, an increase of 32% over $253.4 million reported for the first six months of the previous fiscal year. Payroll Segment _______________ Payroll service revenue for the second quarter ended November 30, 1996 reached $92.6 million, an increase of 18% over $78.2 million for the second quarter last year. For the six months ended November 30, 1996, payroll service revenue reached $181.5 million, an increase of 18% over $154.4 million reported last year. These gains resulted primarily from increases in clients utilizing the basic payroll service and clients using Taxpay and Direct Deposit products. During the quarter the percentage of the client base using Taxpay increased from 59% to 63% as the Company continued to benefit from the Federal mandate requiring small businesses to file payroll taxes electronically as of July 1, 1997. Paychex currently serves 246,500 payroll clients, with 156,500 utilizing Taxpay while approximately 62,100 take advantage of Direct Deposit for their employees. Operating costs were 29% of revenue for the current three and six month periods, down from 30% for the same periods last year. Most of the decrease resulted from lower costs, as a percentage of revenue, associated with delivery, wages and facilities. Full year operating costs, as a percentage of revenue, are expected to be slightly lower than last year. Selling, general and administrative expenses were 45% and 46% of revenue for the three and six month periods ended November 30, 1996, down from 47% and 48% for the respective periods last year. As a percentage of revenue, wages were lower in the current quarter and six month periods, versus the same periods last year. Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of revenue, have been decreasing over the past few years. The Company expects this trend to continue in fiscal 1997. PEO Segment ___________ The revenue and profit growth experienced by PBS is directly related to significant increases in worksite employees on a year-over-year basis. PBS currently serves 10,100 worksite employees, an increase of 46% over the prior year. PBS, a professional employer organization, specializes in providing small and medium-sized businesses with cost-effective outsourcing solutions for their employee benefits. As an outsourcing solution, PBS relieves the business owner of human resources administration, employment regulatory compliance, workers' compensation coverage, health care, 401(k) administration and other employee related responsibilities. PBS gross revenue for the second quarter and six months ended November 30, 1996 rose by 49% to $76.9 million and 56% to $154.1 million, respectively, when compared to the same periods last year. PBS has started to offer the PEO services to Paychex payroll clients in Florida and plans to expand to other select locations. The client base and worksite employees are expected to continue to grow as PBS expands the offering of its PEO services to existing payroll clients. Liquidity and Capital Resources _______________________________ Net cash provided by consolidated operating activities totaled $42.5 million for the six months ended November 30, 1996 as compared to $31.0 million in 1996. Net income for the period contributed a record $35.1 million, representing a 34% gain over net income of $26.3 million achieved for the same period last year. Company owned investments and investments of client funds held for Taxpay and Direct Deposit consist primarily of tax-exempt municipal securities issued by various governmental agencies and short-term money market securities. At November 30, 1996, the total Taxpay and Direct Deposit funds held by the Company were $712.1 million. The Company continues to control credit and market risks by investing primarily in AAA and AA rated municipal securities, limiting amounts that can be invested in any single instrument, and investing in short-to intermediate-term instruments which limit sensitivity to interest rate changes. Capital expenditures for the second quarter and year to date periods totalled $4.2 million and $8.9 million, respectively. In addition, the Company completed its planned upgrade of laser printing equipment in branch offices through five year operating leases. The Company also invested in planned furniture and fixtures expenditures related to continued Paychex growth and expansion. Capital expenditures for the remainder of the year are estimated to range between $7 million to $13 million. Projected cash flows are expected to be adequate to support normal business operations, planned capital expenditures and dividend payments. Furthermore, the Company has $225 million of unsecured bank lines of credit available for its use. As of November 30, 1996, there were no outstanding borrowings under these lines of credit. Other _____ In an effort to give investors a well-rounded view of the Company's current condition and future opportunities, this Form 10-Q includes comments by the Company's management about future performance and results. Because they are forward-looking, these forecasts involve uncertainties. They include risks of general market conditions, including demand for the Company's products and services, competition, and price levels; changes in the laws regulating collection and payment of payroll taxes and employee benefits, including 401(k) plans and Section 125 plans; delays in the development and marketing of new products and services; the possibility of catastrophic events that could impact the Company's operating facilities, computer technology, and communication systems; changes in short-and long-term interest rates and the credit rating of municipal securities held in the Company's investment portfolios.
