ADP Reports Fiscal 2014 Results; Provides Fiscal 2015 Guidance

ADP(R) (ADP), a leading global provider of Human Capital Management (HCM) solutions, today announced its fiscal 2014 financial results and provided its initial outlook for fiscal 2015. Highlights below:

Fiscal 2014 Highlights

  • ADP reported 8% growth in revenues, nearly all organic, to $12.2 billion for the year.
  • Pretax and net earnings from continuing operations increased 10% and 11%, respectively.
  • As adjusted, pretax and net earnings from continuing operations both increased 8%.
  • Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $3.11 increased 11% from $2.79 a year ago.
  • As adjusted, diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $3.14 increased 9% from adjusted $2.88 a year ago.
  • ADP acquired 9.0 million shares of its stock for treasury at a cost of $679 million for the year.

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2014 Highlights

  • ADP reported 10% growth in revenues, 9% organic, to $3.1 billion for the quarter.
  • Pretax and net earnings from continuing operations increased 24% and 29%, respectively.
  • As adjusted, pretax and net earnings from continuing operations increased 15% and 14%, respectively.
  • Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.60 increased 30% from $0.46 a year ago.
  • As adjusted, diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.63 increased 15% from adjusted $0.55 a year ago.
  • During the quarter, RUN Powered by ADP(R) for small businesses crossed the 380,000 client mark, and ADP Workforce Now(R) for mid-sized businesses surpassed the 50,000 client mark, bringing ADP clients who now enjoy cloud-based solutions to over 430,000.

The above “As Adjusted” results exclude:

  • Non-tax deductible costs totaling $15 million, or $0.03 per share, recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 related to the planned spin-off of the Dealer Services business. These costs will be reported in discontinued operations upon completion of the spin-off; and
  • A non-tax deductible $43 million, non-cash goodwill impairment charge, or $0.09 per share, recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013.

Please refer to the tables at the end of this release for a reconciliation of the “As Reported” results to the “As Adjusted” results that exclude these items. All comparisons throughout the remainder of this release are on an “As Adjusted” basis.

“ADP reported solid results for fiscal 2014, and we have demonstrated our focus and commitment to sustaining our position as a global leader of Human Capital Management through our product innovations and our decision to spin-off the Dealer Services business into its own independent, publicly-traded company,” said Carlos Rodriguez, president and chief executive officer, ADP. “New business bookings growth of 7% was slightly below our expectations, but I am pleased that new business bookings totaled over $1.4 billion for the year as these new recurring revenues will contribute to future revenue growth. Additionally, our Employer Services worldwide client revenue retention improved to 91.4% for the year, which is an all-time high. I believe that these results are evidence that our cloud-based solutions are resonating in the market.”

“Each of our business segments posted good results for the year, driving solid revenue growth and particularly good pretax margin expansion,” said Jan Siegmund, chief financial officer, ADP. “ADP returned over $1.5 billion in excess cash to shareholders in fiscal 2014 through dividends and share buybacks, and we remain committed to our shareholder friendly actions.”

High-margin client interest revenues declined from a year ago and negatively impacted fourth quarter and full year revenue growth by 0.2 percentage points and 0.4 percentage points, respectively. This impact was due to a lower yield on the client funds portfolio, partially offset by growth in average client funds balances. This decline in client interest revenues was the primary driver of the lower contribution from the client funds extended investment strategy, which negatively impacted growth in pretax earnings from continuing operations in the fourth quarter and the full year by 1% and 3%, respectively. Pretax margin was negatively impacted 50 basis points in the fourth quarter and 80 basis points for the full year. Additionally, diluted earnings per share from continuing operations was negatively impacted $0.01, or 2% for the quarter, and $0.08, or 3% for the year.

Employer Services

Employer Services’ revenues grew 8% for the fourth quarter, nearly all organic. For the year, revenues grew 8%, 7% organically. Worldwide client retention was flat for the fourth quarter compared with a year ago, but reached an all-time high for the year, increasing 0.1 percentage points to 91.4%. The number of employees on our clients’ payrolls in the United States increased for the fourth quarter and the full year by 2.9% and 2.8% respectively, as measured on a same-store-sales basis for a subset of our clients’ payrolls ranging from small to large businesses. Employer Services’ pretax margin expanded 250 basis points for the fourth quarter and 150 basis points for the year driven by increased operating and sales efficiencies.

Combined worldwide new business bookings for Employer Services and PEO Services grew 5% for the fourth quarter and 7% for the full year. New business bookings represent annualized recurring revenues anticipated from new orders.

PEO Services

PEO Services’ revenues increased 19% for the fourth quarter and 15% for the full year, all organic. PEO Services’ pretax margin increased 70 basis points for the quarter and 20 basis points for the year driven primarily by increased operating and sales efficiencies. Average worksite employees paid by PEO Services increased 19% for the quarter to approximately 340,000, and 15% for the year to approximately 319,000.

Dealer Services

Dealer Services’ revenues grew 8% for the fourth quarter, 7% organic. Revenues grew 7% for the year, nearly all organic. For both the quarter and the year, revenues benefited from an increase in new business installed and higher digital advertising revenues. Dealer Services’ pretax margin improved 210 basis points for the quarter and 130 basis points for the year driven by increased operating efficiencies and the impact of certain non-recurring items.

Interest on Funds Held for Clients

The safety, liquidity and diversification of our clients’ funds are the foremost objectives of our investment strategy. Client funds are invested in accordance with ADP’s prudent and conservative investment guidelines and the credit quality of the investment portfolio is predominantly AAA/AA.

For the fourth quarter, interest on funds held for clients declined $5.5 million, or 5%, from $100.5 million a year ago to $95.1 million, due to a decline of about 20 basis points in the average interest yield to 1.7%, partially offset by an increase of 7% in average client funds balances from $20.4 billion to $21.8 billion.

For the full year, interest on funds held for clients declined $47.2 million, or 11%, from $420.9 million a year ago to $373.7 million, due to a decline of about 40 basis points in the average interest yield to 1.8%, partially offset by an increase of 8% in average client funds balances from $19.2 billion to $20.7 billion.

Dealer Services Spin-off

As previously announced on April 10, 2014, ADP plans to spin-off its Dealer Services business into an independent publicly-traded company. The transaction is structured as a tax-free spin-off of 100% of Dealer Services to ADP shareholders and is expected to be completed by October of 2014. ADP expects to receive at least $700 million in conjunction with the spin-off. ADP’s “As Adjusted” fourth quarter and full year fiscal 2014 results exclude the impact of $15 million of spin-related costs incurred in connection with this transaction. ADP expects to incur additional spin-related expenses of approximately $40 to $50 million in fiscal 2015, which are excluded from the forecast below. Spin-related costs will be reported in discontinued operations upon completion of the spin-off.

Fiscal 2015 Forecast

No change to the current economic environment is assumed in this forecast. Excluded from the comparisons to fiscal 2014 are the results of discontinued operations from the sale of a business in the third quarter of fiscal 2014. Also excluded are one-time expenses incurred in 2014 and anticipated in 2015 in connection with the Dealer Services spin-off. Any future share repurchases from the proceeds ADP will receive from Dealer Services in connection with the spin-off are excluded from the forecast.

Difficult expense and earnings comparisons are anticipated during the first and second quarters of fiscal 2015. Increased investments in innovation which accelerated in the second half of fiscal 2014 that will continue into fiscal 2015, as well as higher selling expenses because of the easier compare with last year’s new business bookings, are expected to result in additional expense of about $30 million in each of the first two quarters of fiscal 2015.

Total ADP Fiscal 2015 Forecast

  • Revenues — we anticipate 7% to 8% growth.
  • Pretax Margins — we anticipate 75 to 100 basis points of pretax margin expansion from the adjusted 18.8% in fiscal 2014.
  • Effective Tax Rate — we anticipate an effective tax rate of 34.6% compared with the 33.7% in fiscal 2014.
  • Diluted Earnings per Share from Continuing Operations — we anticipate 11% to 13% growth compared to the adjusted $3.14 in fiscal 2014.

Reportable Segments Fiscal 2015 Forecast

  • Employer Services — we anticipate revenue growth of 6% to 7% with pretax margin expansion of about 100 basis points.
    • Pays per control — up 2.0% to 3.0% for the year.
  • PEO Services — we anticipate 13% to 15% revenue growth with pretax margin expansion of up to 50 basis points.
  • Employer Services and PEO Services new business bookings — we anticipate about 8% growth compared to over $1.4 billion sold in fiscal 2014.
  • Dealer Services — we anticipate revenue growth of 7% to 8%, with pretax margin expansion of about 50 basis points.

Interest on Funds Held for Clients, Interest Income on Corporate Funds Fiscal 2015 Forecast

The interest assumptions in our forecasts are based on Fed Funds futures contracts and forward yield curves as of July 29, 2014. The Fed Funds futures contracts used in the client short and corporate cash interest income forecasts anticipate increases in the Fed Funds target rate beginning in the second half of the fiscal year. The three-and-a-half and five-year U.S. government agency rates based on the forward yield curves as of July 29, 2014 were used to forecast new purchase rates for the client and corporate extended, and client long portfolios, respectively.

  • Interest on funds held for clients is expected to increase $5 to $15 million, or 1% to 4%. This is based on anticipated growth in average client funds balances of 5% to 7% to $21.8 to $22.2 billion, partially offset by a decrease of up to 10 basis points in the expected average interest yield to 1.7% to 1.8%.
  • Short term interest rates are expected to increase approximately 10 basis points in the second half of the fiscal year. As a result, we anticipate an increase of about $5 million in interest expense on our short-term financing related to our ongoing client funds extended investment strategy, partially offset by a slight increase in interest income on corporate funds.
  • In combination, the total contribution from the client funds extended investment strategy is expected to increase $5 to $15 million compared with a year ago.

Consolidated Statement of Adjusted / Non-GAAP Financial Information
(In millions, except per share amounts)
(Unaudited)
The following tables reconcile the Company’s results for the three and twelve months ended June 30, 2014 to adjusted results that exclude non tax-deductible costs directly attributable to the Company’s proposed separation of its Dealer Services business, and for the three and twelve months ended June 30, 2013 to adjusted results that exclude a non tax-deductible goodwill impairment. The Company uses certain adjusted results, among other measures, to evaluate the Company’s operating performance in the absence of certain items and for planning and forecasting of future periods. The Company believes that the adjusted results provide relevant and useful information for investors because it allows investors to view performance in a manner similar to the method used by the Company’s management and improves their ability to understand the Company’s operating performance. Since adjusted earnings, adjusted provision for income taxes, adjusted EPS, and adjusted pre-tax margin are not measures of performance calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, they should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, earnings, provision for income taxes, EPS, and pre-tax margin, and they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.
