CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”) contains, or incorporates by reference, not only historical information, but also forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”) and that are subject to the safe harbor created by those sections. Forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, statements concerning the conditions of the human capital management solutions industry and our operations, performance, and financial condition, including, in particular, statements relating to our business, growth strategies, product development efforts, and future expenses.

Forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the economy, and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, by their nature, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks, and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Consequently, our actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include regional, national, or global political, economic, business, competitive, market, and regulatory conditions. In particular:

 

our inability to manage our growth effectively or execute on our growth strategy;
our failure to provide new or enhanced functionality and features;
our inability to successfully compete in the market in which we operate and expand our current offerings into new markets or further penetrate existing markets due to competition;
our inability to offer and deliver high-quality technical support, implementation and professional services;
system breaches, interruptions or failures, including cyber-security breaches, identity theft, or other disruptions that could compromise customer information or sensitive company information;
our failure to comply with applicable privacy, security, data, and financial services laws, regulations and standards, including our ongoing consent order with the Federal Trade Commission regarding data protection;
our failure to properly update our solutions to enable our customers to comply with applicable laws;
our failure to manage our aging technical operations infrastructure;
our inability to maintain necessary third-party relationships, and third-party software licenses, and identify errors in the software we license;
our inability to attract and retain senior management employees and highly skilled employees;
the impact of our outstanding debt obligations on our financial condition, results of operations, and value of our common stock; or
the duration and scope of the Coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) pandemic, including the uncertainty around the surge of different variants and the actions that governmental authorities may take in all the jurisdictions where we operate.

Please refer to Part II, Item IA, “Risk Factors” of this Form 10-Q and Part I, Item IA, “Risk Factors” of our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2022 (“2022 Form 10-K”), for a further description of these and other factors. Although we have attempted to identify important risk factors, there may be other risk factors not presently known to us or that we presently believe are not material that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q. If any of these risks materialize, or if any of the above assumptions underlying forward-looking statements prove incorrect, actual results and developments may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q. For the reasons described above, we caution against relying on any forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement made by us in this Form 10-Q speaks only as of the date on which we make it. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or to revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments, or otherwise, except as may be required by law. Comparisons of results for current and any prior periods are not intended to express any future trends or indications of future performance, unless specifically expressed as such, and should be viewed as historical data.

Ceridian HCM Holding Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. Organization

Ceridian HCM Holding Inc. and its subsidiaries (also referred to in this report as “Ceridian,” “we,” “our,” “us,” or the “Company”) offer a broad range of services and software designed to help employers more effectively manage employment processes, such as payroll, payroll-related tax filing, human resource information systems, employee self-service, time and labor management, employee assistance programs, and recruitment and applicant screening. Our technology-based services are typically provided through long-term customer relationships that result in a high level of recurring revenue. While we operate in 18 countries globally, our operations are primarily located in the United States and Canada.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The accounting policies we follow are set forth in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” to our audited consolidated financial statements in our 2022 Form 10-K. The following notes should be read in conjunction with these policies and other disclosures in our 2022 Form 10-K.

In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, except as set forth in these notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements) necessary to present fairly in all material aspects the financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows from all periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

Deferred Costs

Deferred costs, which primarily consist of deferred sales commissions, included within other assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets were $156.2 million and $151.2 million as of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively. Amortization expense for the deferred costs was $4.7 million and $12.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively.

(a)
Fair value is based on inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, other than quoted prices.
(b)
For the contingent consideration related to the 2021 acquisition of certain assets and liabilities of DataFuzion HCM, Inc. ("DataFuzion"), we utilize an option pricing model, specifically a Black-Scholes-Merton model, to estimate the fair value of the contingent liability as of the reporting dates. This model uses certain assumptions related to risk-free rates and volatility as well as certain judgments in forecasting annual recurring revenue. The contingent consideration has been measured as Level 3 given the unobservable inputs that are significant to the measurement of liability. The contingent consideration is included within other liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, we recognized expense of $3.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively, within selling, general, and administrative expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations due to the remeasurement of the DataFuzion contingent consideration.

Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and year ended December 31, 2022, we did not re-measure any financial assets or liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

4. Customer Funds

Overview

In certain jurisdictions, we collect funds for payment of payroll and taxes; temporarily hold such funds until payment is due; remit the funds to the customers’ employees and appropriate taxing authorities; file federal, state, and local tax returns; and handle related regulatory correspondence and amendments. The customer assets are held in segregated accounts intended for the specific purpose of satisfying customer funding obligations and therefore are not freely available for our general business use. In the U.S. and Canada, these customer funds are held in trusts.

Table of Contents

 

Our customer funds are held and invested with the primary objectives being to protect the principal balance and to ensure adequate liquidity to meet cash flow requirements. Accordingly, we maintain on average approximately 45% to 55% of customer funds in liquidity portfolios with maturities ranging from one to 120 days, consisting of high-quality bank deposits, money market mutual funds, commercial paper, or collateralized short-term investments; and we maintain on average approximately 45% to 55% of customer funds in fixed income portfolios with maturities ranging from 120 days to 10 years, consisting of U.S. Treasury and agency securities, Canada government and provincial securities, as well as highly rated asset-backed, mortgage-backed, municipal, corporate, and bank securities. To maintain sufficient liquidity to meet payment obligations, we also have financing arrangements and may pledge fixed income securities for short-term financing.

Financial Statement Presentation

Investment income from invested customer funds, also referred to as float revenue or float, is a component of our compensation for providing services under agreements with our customers. Investment income from invested customer funds included in recurring revenue was $46.9 million and $11.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively. Investment income includes interest income, realized gains and losses from sales of customer funds’ investments, and unrealized credit losses determined to be unrecoverable.

The amortized cost of customer funds as of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, is the original cost of assets acquired. The amortized cost and fair values of investments of customer funds available for sale were as follows:

Management does not believe that any individual unrealized loss was unrecoverable as of March 31, 2023. The unrealized losses are primarily attributable to changes in interest rates and not to credit deterioration. We currently do not intend to sell or expect to be required to sell the securities before the time required to recover the amortized cost.

 

The amortized cost and fair value of investment securities available for sale at March 31, 2023, by contractual maturity are shown below. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or to prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

As of October 1 each year, we perform an impairment assessment of our indefinite-lived intangible assets, which includes our Ceridian and Dayforce trade names, which have a carrying value of $167.2 million and $4.4 million, respectively as of March 31, 2023. We continue to evaluate the use of our trade names and branding in our sales and marketing efforts. If there is a fundamental shift in the method of our branding in the future, we will assess the impact on the carrying amount of our trade name intangible assets to determine whether an impairment exists. If it is determined that an impairment has occurred, it would be recognized during the period in which the decision was made to make the fundamental shift.

 

Amortization expense related to definite-lived intangible assets was $5.5 million and $7.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively.

Senior Secured Credit Facility

On April 30, 2018, we completed the refinancing of our debt by entering into a new credit agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the new credit agreement, we became borrower of (i) a $680.0 million term loan debt facility (the “Term Debt”) and (ii) a $300.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) (collectively, the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”). Our obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facility are secured by first priority security interests in substantially all of our assets and the domestic subsidiary guarantors, subject to permitted liens and certain exceptions.

The Term Debt will mature on April 30, 2025. We are required to make annual amortization payments in respect of the Term Debt in an amount equal to 1.00% of the original principal amount thereof, payable in equal quarterly installments of 0.25% of the original principal amount of the first lien term debt. On December 15, 2021, we completed the second amendment to our Senior Secured Credit Facility, which extended the maturity date of the Revolving Credit Facility from April 30, 2023 to January 29, 2025. The Revolving Credit Facility does not require amortization payments.

Convertible Senior Notes

In March 2021, we issued $575.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 0.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and pursuant to exemptions from the prospectus requirements of applicable Canadian securities laws, including the exercise in full by the initial purchasers of their option to purchase an additional $75.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 0.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (collectively, the “Convertible Senior Notes”). The Convertible Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 0.25% per year and interest is payable semiannually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on September 15, 2021. The Convertible Senior Notes mature on March 15, 2026, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. The total net proceeds from the offering, after deducting initial purchase discounts and other debt issuance costs, were $561.8 million.

The Convertible Senior Notes will be convertible at the option of the holders at any time only under certain circumstances as outlined in Note 9, “Debt,” to our audited consolidated financial statements in our 2022 Form 10-K. The conditions allowing holders of the Convertible Senior Notes to convert have not been met and therefore were not convertible as of March 31, 2023.

On December 30, 2021, we notified the holders of the Convertible Senior Notes of our irrevocable election to settle the conversion obligation in connection with the Convertible Senior Notes submitted for conversion on or after January 1, 2022, or at maturity with a combination of cash and shares of our common stock. Generally, under this settlement method, the conversion value will be settled in cash in an amount no less than the principal amount being converted, and any excess of the conversion value over the principal amount will be settled, at our election, in cash or shares of common stock.

The Convertible Senior Notes are accounted for as a single liability, and the carrying amount of the Convertible Senior Notes was $566.1 million as of March 31, 2023, with principal of $575.0 million, net of issuance costs of $8.9 million. The Convertible Senior Notes are included within Long-term debt, less current portion in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2023. The issuance costs related to the Convertible Senior Notes are being amortized to interest expense over the contractual term of the Convertible Senior Notes at an effective interest rate of 5.1%.

Interest expense recognized related to the Convertible Senior Notes was as follows:

Capped Calls

In March 2021, in connection with the pricing of the Convertible Senior Notes, we entered into capped call transactions with the option counterparties (the “Capped Calls”). The Capped Calls each have an initial strike price of $132.20 per share, and an initial cap price of $179.26 per share, both subject to certain adjustments. The capped call transactions are generally expected to reduce potential dilution to our common stock upon any conversion of the Convertible Senior Notes and/or offset any potential cash payments we would be required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted Convertible Senior Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap based on the cap price. For accounting purposes, the Capped Calls are separate transactions, and not part of the terms of the Convertible Senior Notes. As the Capped Calls qualify for a scope exception from derivative accounting for instruments that are both indexed to the issuer's own stock and classified in stockholder’s equity in our condensed consolidated balance sheet, we have recorded an amount of $33.0 million as a reduction to additional paid-in capital which will not be remeasured. This represents the premium of $45.0 million paid for the purchase of the Capped Calls, net of the deferred tax impact of $12.0 million.

Fair Value of Debt

Our debt does not trade in active markets and was considered to be a Level 2 measurement at March 31, 2023. The fair value of the Term Debt was based on the borrowing rates currently available to us for bank loans with similar terms and average maturities and the limited trades of our debt. The fair value of the Convertible Senior Notes was determined based on the closing trading price per $1,000 of the Convertible Senior Notes as of the last day of trading for the period and is primarily affected by the trading price of our common stock and market interest rates. The fair value of our debt was estimated to be $1,157.8 million and $1,142.3 million as of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively.

9. Share-Based Compensation

Our share-based compensation consists of stock options, restricted stock units (“RSU”), and performance stock units (“PSU”). We also offer an employee stock purchase plan.

Under the 2013 Ceridian HCM Holding Inc. Stock Incentive Plan, as amended ("2013 SIP") and Ceridian HCM Holding Inc. 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended and restated from time to time, the “2018 EIP”), we have shares reserved for issuance of common stock to eligible employees and our Board of Directors. The 2018 EIP serves as a successor to the 2013 SIP as we ceased granting awards under the 2013 SIP as of April 24, 2018, and we do not intend to grant any additional awards under the 2013 SIP. Most of our equity awards under the 2018 EIP vest either annually or quarterly on a pro rata basis, generally over a one-, three-, four-, or five-year period or on a specific date if certain performance criteria are satisfied and certain equity values are attained. In addition, upon termination of service, all vested awards must be exercised generally within 90 days after termination, or these awards will be forfeited. The equity awards have a 10-year contractual term, and the options have an exercise price that is not less than the fair market value of the underlying stock on the date of grant.

As of March 31, 2023, there were 804,308 stock options and RSUs outstanding under the 2013 SIP and there were 12,727,310 stock options, RSUs, and PSUs outstanding and 11,759,391 shares available for future grants of equity awards under the 2018 EIP.

Total share-based compensation expense was $40.2 million and $35.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively.

Contract Balances

A contract asset is generally recorded when revenue recognized for professional service performance obligations exceed the contractual amount of billings for implementation related professional services. Contract assets were $73.4 million and $68.5 million as of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively. Contract assets expected to be recognized in revenue within twelve months are included within prepaid expenses and other current assets, with the remaining contract assets included within other assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

12. Income Taxes

Our income tax provision represents federal, state, and international taxes on our income recognized for financial statement purposes and includes the effects of temporary differences between financial statement income and income recognized for tax return purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to reflect the net deferred tax assets that we believe will be realized. In assessing the likelihood that we will be able to recover our deferred tax assets and the need for a valuation allowance, we consider all available evidence, both positive and negative, including historical levels of pre-tax book income, expiration of net operating losses, changes in our debt and equity structure, expectations and risks associated with estimates of future taxable income, ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies, as well as current tax laws. As of March 31, 2023, we have a valuation allowance of $44.5 million against certain deferred tax assets consisting primarily of $31.0 million for deferred taxes attributable to previous business combinations, and $13.2 attributable to state and foreign net operating loss carryovers.

We recorded income tax expense of $18.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023, which included tax expense of $6.0 million attributable to operations, $4.3 million attributable to share-based compensation, $2.7 million attributable to U.S state taxes, and $1.2 million attributable to the U.S. Base Erosion and Anti-Abuse Tax ("BEAT").

There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022. We make adjustments to these reserves when facts and circumstances change, such as the closing of tax audits or the refinement of an estimate. To the extent that the final tax outcome of these matters is different than the amounts recorded, such differences will affect the provision for income taxes in the period in which such determination is made and could have a material impact on our financial condition and operating results.

We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various states, and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2018.

13. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Matters

We are subject to claims and a number of judicial and administrative proceedings considered normal in the course of our current and past operations, including employment-related disputes, contract disputes, disputes with our competitors, intellectual property disputes, government audits and proceedings, customer disputes, and tort claims. In some proceedings, the claimant seeks damages as well as other relief, which, if granted, would require substantial expenditures on our part.

Our general terms and conditions in customer contracts frequently include a provision indicating we will indemnify and hold our customers harmless from and against any and all claims alleging that the services and materials furnished by us violate any third party’s patent, trade secret, copyright, or other intellectual property right. We are not aware of any material pending litigation concerning these indemnifications.

Some of these matters raise difficult and complex factual and legal issues and are subject to many uncertainties, including the facts and circumstances of each particular action, and the jurisdiction, forum, and law under which each action is proceeding. Because of these complexities, final disposition of some of these proceedings may not occur for several years. As such, we are not always able to estimate the amount of our possible future liabilities, if any.

There can be no certainty that we may not ultimately incur charges in excess of presently established or future financial accruals or insurance coverage. Although occasional adverse decisions or settlements may occur, it is management’s opinion that the final disposition of these proceedings will not, considering the merits of the claims and available resources or reserves and insurance, and based upon the facts and circumstances currently known, have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

The shares underlying the conversion option in the Convertible Senior Notes were not considered in the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share as the effect would have been anti-dilutive. Based on the initial conversion price, the entire outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes as of March 31, 2023 would have been convertible into approximately 4.3 million shares of our common stock. Since we expect to settle the principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes in cash, we use the treasury stock method for calculating any potential dilutive effect on diluted net income per share, if applicable. As a result, only the amount by which the conversion value exceeds the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes (the “conversion spread”) is considered in the diluted earnings per share computation. The conversion spread has a dilutive impact on diluted net income per share when the average market price of our common stock for a given period exceeds the initial conversion price of $132.20 per share for the Convertible Senior Notes. We excluded the potentially dilutive effect of the conversion spread of the Convertible Senior Notes as the average market price of our common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2023 was less than the conversion price of the Convertible Senior Notes. In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Senior Notes, we entered into Capped Calls, which were not included for purposes of calculating the number of diluted shares outstanding, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following is a discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations as of, and for, the periods presented and should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this report and with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 1, 2023 (our “2022 Form 10-K”). This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements, including statements regarding industry outlook, our expectations for the future of our business, and our liquidity and capital resources as well as other non-historical statements. These statements are based on current expectations and are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to the risks and uncertainties described in Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” Our actual results may differ materially from those contained in or implied by these forward-looking statements. Any reference to a “Note” in this discussion relates to the accompanying notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report unless otherwise indicated.

Overview

Ceridian is a global human capital management (“HCM”) software company. We categorize our solutions into three categories: Cloud recurring, other recurring (formerly referred to as Bureau), and professional services and other. Cloud recurring revenue is generated from HCM solutions that are primarily delivered via two offerings: Dayforce, our flagship Cloud HCM platform, and Powerpay, a Cloud human resources (“HR”) and payroll solution for the Canadian small business market. Revenue from our Cloud recurring and other recurring solutions includes investment income generated from holding customer funds before funds are remitted to taxing authorities, also referred to as float revenue or float.

Dayforce provides HR, payroll, benefits, workforce management, and talent management functionality. Our platform is used by organizations of all sizes, from small businesses to global organizations, regardless of industry, to optimize management of the entire employee lifecycle, including attracting, engaging, paying, deploying, and developing their people. Dayforce was built as a single application from the ground up that combines a modern, consumer-grade user experience with proprietary application architecture, including a single employee record and a rules engine spanning all areas of HCM. Dayforce provides continuous real-time calculations across all modules to enable, for example, payroll administrators access to data through the entire pay period, and managers access to real-time data to optimize work schedules. Our platform is designed to make work life better for our customers and their employees by improving HCM decision-making processes, streamlining workflows, revealing strategic organizational insights, and simplifying legislative compliance. The platform is designed to ease administrative work for both employees and managers, creating opportunities for companies to increase employee engagement. We sell Dayforce through our direct sales force on a subscription per-employee, per-month ("PEPM") basis. Our subscriptions are typically structured with an initial fixed term of between three and five years, with evergreen renewal thereafter.

Dayforce Wallet is a digital payment solution for customers' employees on the Dayforce platform, and is currently available in the U.S., Canada, and the United Kingdom. Dayforce Wallet gives our customers’ employees greater control over their financial well-being by providing them with instant access to their earnings. This on-demand pay feature allows employees more choice over when they get paid by making any day payday. Dayforce Wallet enables workers to access their already-earned wages anytime during the pay period, net of taxes, withholdings and other payroll deductions. Leveraging Dayforce’s continuous pay calculations, Dayforce Wallet processes a same-day payroll each time a worker requests their pay. The solution is compliant with federal, state, and local remittances and requires no changes to payroll processing including the funding, timing, and close-out of pay. The on-demand wages are loaded onto a paycard, which customers’ employees can use anywhere credit or debit cards are accepted, generating interchange fee revenue. The Dayforce Wallet mobile app makes it easy for customers' employees to check their pay deposits, account balance, and transaction history. As of March 31, 2023, we had more than 1,540 customers signed onto Dayforce Wallet with over 930 customers live on the product. As of March 31, 2023, the average registration rate was above 50% of all eligible employees.

Our Business Model

Our business model focuses on supporting the rapid growth of Dayforce and maximizing the lifetime value of our Dayforce customer relationships. Due to our subscription model, where we recognize subscription revenues ratably over the term of the subscription period, and our high customer retention rates, we have a high level of visibility into our future revenues. The profitability of a customer depends, in large part, on how long they have been a customer. We estimate that it takes approximately two years before we are able to recover our implementation, customer acquisition, and other direct costs on a new Dayforce customer contract.

Over the lifetime of the customer relationship, we have the opportunity to realize additional PEPM revenue, both as the customer grows or rolls out the Dayforce solution to additional employees, and also by selling additional functionality to existing customers that do not currently utilize our full suite of capabilities. We also incur costs to manage the account, to retain customers, and to sell additional functionality. These costs, however, are significantly less than the costs initially incurred to acquire and to take customers live.

Global Events

Beginning in 2022, the U.S. Federal Reserve and the Bank of Canada enacted several increases to the federal funds rate and the overnight rate target, respectively. The rate increases have favorably impacted our float revenue, and conversely, have increased the cost of our term debt borrowing. There continues to be uncertainty in the changing market and economic conditions, including the possibility of additional measures that could be taken by the U.S. Federal Reserve, the Bank of Canada, or other government agencies, related to concerns over inflation risk.

Recent Events

The Office of Comptroller of the Currency (the "OCC") authorized the Ceridian National Trust Bank to open on January 3, 2023. Effective on this day, the Ceridian National Trust Bank commenced banking operations, acting as trustee for our U.S. payroll trust. Historically, certain aspects of our U.S. client money movement activity were subject to regulation at both the federal and individual state levels with resulting inherent complexity across multiple jurisdictions. With the establishment of the Ceridian National Trust Bank, regulatory oversight will now be under the OCC, a single federal government agency. Our payroll trust structure will continue to benefit our customers by providing bankruptcy-remoteness protection for client funds pending remittance to employees of our clients, tax authorities, and other payees.

How We Assess Our Performance

In assessing our performance, we consider a variety of annual and quarterly performance indicators in addition to revenue and net income. Set forth below are descriptions of our quarterly key performance measures. Additional information on our annual performance measures is described in Part II, “Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis" under the heading "How We Assess Our Performance" contained in our 2022 Form 10-K. Please refer to the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and “Results of Operations” sections below for further description and definitions of certain performance indicators which are considered non-GAAP financial measures.

Live Dayforce Customers

We use the number of live Dayforce customers as an indicator of future revenue and the overall performance of the business and to assess the performance of our implementation services.

Dayforce Recurring Revenue Per Customer

We use Dayforce recurring revenue per customer, a non-GAAP financial measure, as an indicator of the average size of our Dayforce customer, which we believe is also useful to management and investors. We calculate and monitor Dayforce recurring revenue per customer on a quarterly basis. Our Dayforce recurring revenue per customer may fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, including the number of live Dayforce customers and the number of customers purchasing the comprehensive suite of Dayforce functionality.

Constant Currency Revenue

We present revenue on a constant currency basis to assess how our underlying business performed, excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations. We believe this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to management and investors. The average U.S. dollar to Canadian dollar foreign exchange rate was $1.35, with a daily range of $1.33 to $1.39, for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $1.27, with a daily range of $1.25 to $1.29 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2023, the U.S. dollar to Canadian dollar foreign exchange rate was $1.35.

Adjusted Operating Profit, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Adjusted Cloud Recurring Gross Margin

We believe that Adjusted operating profit, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, and Adjusted Cloud recurring gross margin, non-GAAP financial measures, are useful to management and investors as supplemental measures to evaluate our overall operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is a component of our management incentive plan and Adjusted Cloud recurring gross margin is a component of certain performance based equity awards for our named executive officers, and these metrics are used by management to assess performance and to compare our operating performance to our competitors. Management believes that Adjusted operating profit, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, and Adjusted Cloud recurring gross margin are helpful in highlighting management performance trends because these metrics exclude the results of decisions that are outside the normal course of our business operations.

(a)
We have calculated revenue on a constant currency basis by applying the average foreign exchange rate in effect during the comparable prior period. Please refer to the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section for discussion of revenue on a constant currency basis.
(b)
Other recurring contains solutions previously described as Bureau. Float attributable to this solution was $0.7 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively.
(c)
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, Professional services and other consisted of $49.4 million and $3.3 million associated with Dayforce and Other, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, Professional services and other consisted of $41.6 million, $3.6 million, and $0.2 million associated with Dayforce, Other, and Powerpay, respectively.

Total revenue increased $77.3 million, or 26.4%, to $370.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $293.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. This increase was primarily attributable to the increase in live Dayforce customers, the increase in Dayforce recurring revenue per customer, and the increase in float revenue. The number of live Dayforce customers increased 10.2% to 6,179 at March 31, 2023 from 5,609 at March 31, 2022. Additionally, for the trailing twelve months ended March 31, 2023, Dayforce recurring revenue per customer grew to $126,127 compared to $110,947 for the comparable period in 2022.1 Please refer to the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section for discussion of Dayforce recurring revenue per customer.

The increase in Dayforce recurring revenue per customer is driven by the growing average size of our customers, as we have been expanding within the enterprise segment, as well as more customers purchasing the comprehensive suite of Dayforce functionality. Additionally, tax migration from legacy infrastructure to the same platform as Dayforce contributed approximately 600 basis points of growth to Dayforce recurring revenue, excluding float in the first quarter of 2023. The increase in float revenue is driven by an increase in average yield of 270 basis points compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022, in addition to a 3.3% increase in average float balance for our customer funds for the three months ended March 31, 2023, which increased to $5.26 billion, compared to $5.09 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Cost of revenue. Total cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023, was $210.3 million, an increase of $20.1 million, or 10.6%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Recurring cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023, decreased $2.2 million, or 2.7%, compared with the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily due to a $11.2 million reduction in severance and restructuring costs related to the integration of acquisitions and re-balancing of resources across our global footprint during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The reduction in recurring cost of revenue was partially offset by additional labor-related costs incurred to support the growing Dayforce customer base globally.

Professional services and other cost of revenue increased $9.4 million, or 17.2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily due to increased costs incurred to take new customers live.

Product development and management expense increased $10.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase primarily reflects additional personnel costs and share-based compensation expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, our investment in software development was $46.9 million and $37.7 million, respectively, consisting of $28.0 million and $22.6 million, of research and development expense, and $18.9 million and $15.1 million in capitalized software development costs, respectively.

 

Depreciation and amortization expense associated with cost of revenue increased by $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022, as we continue to capitalize Dayforce related and other development costs and subsequently amortize these costs.

Total gross margin is defined as total gross profit as a percentage of total revenue, which is inclusive of product development and management costs, as well as depreciation and amortization associated with cost of revenue. Gross margin for each solution in the table above is defined as total revenue less cost of revenue for the applicable solution as a percentage of total revenue for that related solution, which is exclusive of any product development and management or depreciation and amortization cost allocations.

Total gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased 810 basis points compared to total gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and gross profit increased by $57.2 million, or 55.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily due to the $77.3 million or 26.4% increase in revenue, including float revenue, which outpaced the increase in cost of revenue.

Cloud recurring gross margin was 77.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to 69.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Excluding the impact of share-based compensation and related employer taxes and certain other items, Adjusted Cloud recurring gross margin increased by 320 basis points to 78.7%. The increase in Cloud recurring gross margin was primarily due to the increase in float revenue and reduction in severance expense associated with the re-balancing of resources across our global footprint in 2022. The increase is also due to the increase in the proportion of Dayforce customers live for more than two years, which increased from 80% as of March 31, 2022 to 82% as of March 31, 2023. Please refer to the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section for a discussion and reconciliation of Adjusted Cloud recurring gross margin and additional information on the excluded items.

Professional services and other gross margin was (21.3)% for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to (20.0)% for the three months ended March 31, 2022, reflecting additional costs to take new customers live and increased share-based compensation expense.

Selling, general, and administrative expense. Selling, general, and administrative expense decreased $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. This reflects a reduction of $4.2 million in sales and marketing expense and an increase of $4.1 million in general and administrative expense. The reduction in sales and marketing expense is primarily driven by a reduction in commission expense due to increasing the expected period of benefit of our deferred sales commissions from five years to ten years, partially offset by an increase in investment in our sales force in order to support our growth initiatives and an increase in employee-related costs. The increase in general and administrative expense is driven by the remeasurement of the DataFuzion contingent consideration and an increase in employee-related costs.

Operating profit (loss). Operating profit for the three months ended March 31, 2023, was $38.4 million, compared to operating loss of $18.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The $57.3 million change was primarily due to the increase in revenue, including float revenue, gross margin expansion, and reductions in severance and restructuring expenses. Additionally, the increase in operating profit was partially due to a reduction in commission expense associated with increasing our expected period of benefit from five years to ten years. Partially offsetting these factors were higher product development and management costs. Adjusted operating profit increased by $44.1 million to $88.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. Please refer to the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section for a discussion and reconciliation of Adjusted operating profit and additional information on the excluded items.

Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net was $9.2 million and $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively. The increase was primarily due to an increase in interest expense on our Term Debt due to the increase in LIBOR rates.

Other expense (income), net. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, we incurred other expense, net of $0.8 million and other income, net of $0.3 million, respectively. Other expense (income), net was primarily comprised of foreign currency translation (gains) losses and net periodic pension expense.

Income tax expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, we recorded income tax expense of $18.5 million and $3.0 million, respectively. The $15.5 million increase in income tax expense was primarily due to a $11.1 million increase attributable to operations, a $2.3 million increase attributable to U.S. state taxes, and a $1.8 million increase attributable to international tax rate differences.

Net income (loss). We realized net income of $9.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to net loss of $27.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Net income increased due to the increase in revenue, including float revenue, gross margin expansion, and reductions in severance, restructuring and commission expenses, partially offset by higher product development and management costs. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, net profit margin was 2.7% and (9.3)%, respectively.

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA increased by $48.0 million to $105.4 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022, and Adjusted EBITDA margin was 28.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to 19.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Please refer to the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section for a discussion and reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin and additional information on the excluded items.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity are our existing cash and equivalents, cash provided by operating activities, availability under our Revolving Credit Facility, and proceeds from debt issuances and equity offerings. As of March 31, 2023, we had cash and equivalents of $428.6 million and our total debt was $1,232.4 million.

Our primary liquidity needs are related to funding of general business requirements, including the payment of interest and principal on our debt, capital expenditures, product development, and funding Dayforce Wallet on demand pay requests on behalf of our customers. From time to time, we have made investments in businesses or acquisitions of companies, which are also liquidity needs.

28 | img215173140_1.jpg Q1 2023 Form 10-Q


Table of Contents

 

We believe that our cash flow from operations, available cash and equivalents, and availability under our Revolving Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for the foreseeable future. Dayforce Wallet on demand pay requests are currently funded from our operating cash balances, until it is reimbursed by our customers through their normal payroll funding cycles. We evaluate the creditworthiness of each customer utilizing the Dayforce Wallet feature. We anticipate that to the extent that we require additional liquidity, it will be funded through the issuance of equity, the incurrence of additional indebtedness, or a combination thereof. We cannot provide assurance that we will be able to obtain this additional liquidity on reasonable terms, or at all. Additionally, our liquidity and our ability to meet our obligations and to fund our capital requirements and Dayforce Wallet on demand pay requests are also dependent on our future financial performance, which is subject to general economic, financial, and other factors that are beyond our control. Accordingly, we cannot provide assurance that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that future borrowings will be available from additional indebtedness or otherwise to meet our liquidity needs. If we decide to pursue one or more significant acquisitions, we may incur additional debt or raise additional equity to finance such acquisitions, which would result in additional expenses and/or dilution.

Our customer funds are held and invested with the primary objectives being to protect the principal balance and to ensure adequate liquidity to meet cash flow requirements. Accordingly, we maintain on average approximately 45% to 55% of customer funds in liquidity portfolios with maturities ranging from one to 120 days, consisting of high-quality bank deposits, money market mutual funds, commercial paper, or collateralized short-term investments; and we maintain on average approximately 45% to 55% of customer funds in fixed income portfolios with maturities ranging from 120 days to 10 years, consisting of U.S. Treasury and agency securities, Canada government and provincial securities, as well as highly rated asset-backed, mortgage-backed, municipal, corporate, and bank securities. To maintain sufficient liquidity to meet payment obligations, we also have financing arrangements and may pledge fixed income securities for short-term financing. The customer assets are held in segregated accounts intended for the specific purpose of satisfying customer funding obligations and therefore are not freely available for our general business use.

Statements of Cash Flows

Changes in cash flows due to purchases of customer fund marketable securities and proceeds from the sale or maturity of customer fund marketable securities, as well as the carrying value of customer fund accounts as of period end dates can vary significantly due to several factors, including the specific day of the week the period ends, which impacts the timing of funds collected from customers and payments made to satisfy customer obligations to employees, taxing authorities, and others. The customer funds are fully segregated from our operating cash accounts and are evaluated and tracked separately by management. The table below summarizes the activity within the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows:

For both periods, cash inflows from operating activities are primarily generated from the subscriptions of our solutions. Cash outflows from operating activities for both periods are primarily comprised of personnel-related expenditures that are integral to our business operations. The positive cash inflow in both periods is primarily due to our growing revenue, partially offset by our operating costs, mainly, investment in our sales force to support our growth initiatives and those product development and management costs which are not eligible for capitalization.

Investing Activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, net cash used in investing activities was $1.4 million, consisting of purchases of customer funds marketable securities of $72.5 million and capital expenditures of $28.4 million, partially offset by proceeds from the sale and maturity of customer funds marketable securities of $100.5 million. Our capital expenditures included $21.9 million for software and technology and $6.5 million for property and equipment.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, net cash used in investing activities was $184.7 million, consisting of purchases of customer funds marketable securities of $276.9 million and capital expenditures of $19.9 million, partially offset by proceeds from the sale and maturity of customer funds marketable securities of $112.1 million. Our capital expenditures included $17.8 million for software and technology and $2.1 million for property and equipment.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $2,090.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023. This cash inflow is primarily attributable to an increase in net customer fund obligations of $2,078.1 million and proceeds from issuance of common stock under our share-based compensation plans of $14.8 million, partially offset by payments on our long-term debt obligations of $2.1 million.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $3,883.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022. This cash inflow is primarily attributable to an increase in net customer fund obligations of $3,879.8 million and proceeds from issuance of common stock under our share-based compensation plans of $6.0 million, partially offset by payments on our long-term debt obligations of $2.1 million.

Backlog

Backlog is equivalent to our remaining performance obligations, which represents contracted revenue for recurring and fixed price professional services, primarily implementation services, that has not yet been recognized, including deferred revenue and unbilled amounts that will be recognized as revenue in future periods. As of March 31, 2023, our remaining performance obligations were approximately $1,191.0 million. Please refer to Note 10, “Revenue,” to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our remaining performance obligations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2023, we did not have any “off-balance sheet arrangements” (as such term is defined in Item 303 of Regulation S-K).

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, there were no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as described in Part II, “Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis" under the heading "Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates" contained in our 2022 Form 10-K.

Dayforce recurring revenue per customer

No directly comparable GAAP measure

 

We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to management and investors as supplemental measures to evaluate our overall operating performance including comparison across periods and with competitors. Our management team uses these non-GAAP financial measures to assess operating performance because these financial measures exclude the results of decisions that are outside the normal course of our business operations, and are used for internal budgeting and forecasting purposes both for short- and long-term operating plans. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is a component of our management incentive plan and Adjusted Cloud recurring gross margin is a component of certain performance based equity awards for our named executive officers. These non-GAAP financial measures are not required by, defined under, or presented in accordance with, GAAP, and should not be considered as alternatives to our results as reported under GAAP, have important limitations as analytical tools, and our use of these terms may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies in our industry. Our presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed to imply that our future results will be unaffected by similar items to those eliminated in this presentation.

 

We define our non-GAAP financial measures as follows:

EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, and Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA, as adjusted to exclude share-based compensation expense and related employer taxes, and certain other items.
Adjusted EBITDA margin is determined by calculating the percentage Adjusted EBITDA is of total revenue.
Adjusted Cloud recurring gross margin is defined as Cloud recurring gross margin, as adjusted to exclude share-based compensation and related employer taxes, and certain other items, as a percentage of total Cloud recurring revenue.
Adjusted operating profit is defined as operating profit (loss), as adjusted to exclude share-based compensation expense and related employer taxes, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, and certain other items.
Adjusted operating profit margin is determined by calculating the percentage Adjusted operating profit is of total revenue.
Adjusted net income is defined as net income (loss), as adjusted to exclude share-based compensation expense and related employer taxes, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, and certain other items, all of which are adjusted for the effect of income taxes.
Adjusted net profit margin is determined by calculating the percentage Adjusted net income is of total revenue.
Adjusted diluted net income per share is calculated by dividing adjusted net income by diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. When adjusted diluted net income is positive, diluted weighted average common shares outstanding incorporate the effect of dilutive equity instruments.
Revenue, including total revenue and revenue by solution, on a constant currency basis is calculated by applying the average foreign exchange rate in effect during the comparable prior period.

Dayforce recurring revenue per customer is an indicator of the average size of Dayforce recurring revenue customers. To calculate Dayforce recurring revenue per customer, we start with Dayforce recurring revenue on a constant currency basis by applying the same exchange rate to all comparable periods for the trailing twelve months and excludes float revenue, the impact of lower employment levels in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and Ascender and ADAM HCM revenue. This amount is divided by the number of live Dayforce customers at the end of the trailing twelve month period, excluding Ascender and ADAM HCM. We have not reconciled the Dayforce recurring revenue per customer because there is no directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

The following tables reconcile our reported results to our non-GAAP financial measures:

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risks related to foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, and pension obligations. We seek to minimize or to manage these market risks through normal operating and financing activities. These market risks may be amplified by events and factors surrounding global events. We do not trade or use instruments with the objective of earning financial gains on the market fluctuations, nor do we use instruments where there are not underlying exposures.

Foreign Currency Risk. Our results of operations and cash flows are subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, particularly changes in the Canadian Dollar. Our exposure to foreign currency exchange rates has historically been partially hedged as our foreign currency denominated inflows create a natural hedge against our foreign currency denominated expenses. Accordingly, our results of operations and cash flows were not materially affected by fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates, and we believe that a hypothetical 10% change in foreign currency exchange rates or an inability to access foreign funds would not materially affect our ability to meet our operational needs or result in a material foreign currency loss in the future. Due to the relative size of our international operations to date, we have not instituted an active hedging program. We expect our international operations to continue to grow in the near term, and we are monitoring the foreign currency exposure to determine if we should begin a hedging program.

Interest Rate Risk. Our operating results and financial condition are subject to fluctuations due to changes in interest rates, primarily in relation to: (1) our customer funds market valuation and float revenue derived therefrom, (2) our debt and the interest paid on such, and (3) our cash and equivalents and the interest income earned on these balances. Collectively, we do not believe that a change in interest rates of 100 basis points would have a material effect on our operating results or financial condition.

In certain jurisdictions, we collect funds for payment of payroll and taxes; temporarily hold such funds in segregated accounts until payment is due; remit the funds to the customers’ employees and appropriate taxing authority; file federal, state and local tax returns; and handle related regulatory correspondence and amendments. We invest the customer funds in high- quality bank deposits, money market mutual funds, commercial paper or collateralized short-term investments. We may also invest these funds in government securities, as well as highly rated asset-backed, mortgage-backed, corporate, and bank securities.

We have exposure to risks associated with changes in laws and regulations that may affect customer fund balances. For example, a change in regulations, either reducing the amount of taxes to be withheld or allowing less time to remit taxes to government authorities, would reduce our average customer fund balances and float revenue. Based on current market conditions, portfolio composition and investment practices, a 100 basis point increase in market investment rates would result in approximately $24 million increase in float revenue over the ensuing twelve month period. There are no incremental costs of revenue associated with changes in float revenue.

We pay floating rates of interest on our Term Debt and Revolving Credit Facility. The interest paid on these borrowings will fluctuate up or down in relation to changes in market interest rates. A 100 basis point increase in the LIBOR rates would result in approximately $6 million increase in our interest expense over the ensuring twelve-month period. Please refer to Note 7, "Debt" for additional information.

We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes. Our cash equivalents and our portfolio of marketable securities are subject to market risk due to changes in interest rates. Fixed rate securities may have their market value adversely affected due to a rise in interest rates, while floating rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest rates fall. Due in part to these factors, our future investment income may fall short of expectation due to changes in interest rates or we may suffer losses in principal if we are forced to sell securities that decline in market value due to changes in interest rates.

However, because we classify our securities as “available for sale,” no gains or losses are recognized due to changes in interest rates unless such securities are sold prior to maturity or declines in fair value are determined to be unrecoverable. Fluctuations in the value of our investment securities caused by a change in interest rates (gains or losses on the carrying value) are recorded in other comprehensive income, and are realized only if we sell the underlying securities. Please refer to Note 4, "Customer Funds" for additional information.

Pension Obligation Risk. We provide a pension plan for certain current and former U.S. employees that closed to new participants on January 2, 1995. In 2007, the U.S. pension plan was amended (1) to exclude from further participation any participant or former participant who was not employed by the company or another participating employer on January 1, 2008, (2) to discontinue participant contributions, and (3) to freeze the accrual of additional benefits as of December 31, 2007. In applying relevant accounting policies, we have made critical estimates related to actuarial assumptions, including assumptions of expected returns on plan assets, discount rates, and health care cost trends. The cost of pension benefits in future periods will depend on actual returns on plan assets, assumptions for future periods, contributions, and benefit experience. The effective discount rate used in accounting for pension and other benefit obligations in 2022 ranged from 4.72% to 4.84%. The expected rate of return on plan assets for qualified pension benefits in 2023 is 5.20%.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13(a)-15(e) of the Exchange Act, are controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported in a timely manner and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management has evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q are effective. While our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of their effectiveness, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes to our internal controls over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2023 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

We are subject to claims and a number of judicial and administrative proceedings considered normal in the course of our current and past operations, including employment-related disputes, contract disputes, disputes with our competitors, intellectual property disputes, government audits and proceedings, customer disputes, and tort claims. In some proceedings, the claimant seeks damages as well as other relief, which, if granted, would require substantial expenditures on our part.

Some of these matters raise difficult and complex factual and legal issues and are subject to many uncertainties, including the facts and circumstances of each particular action, and the jurisdiction, forum, and law under which each action is proceeding. Because of these complexities, final disposition of some of these proceedings may not occur for several years. As such, we are not always able to estimate the amount of our possible future liabilities, if any. We are not presently a party to any legal proceedings that, if determined adversely to us, we believe would individually or taken together have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or liquidity.

As previously reported in Part I, Item 3, Legal Proceedings of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, on October 21, 2021, a claim was issued by purported stockholder, Bluemoon Capital Ltd., in the Superior Court of Justice of Ontario, Canada. The claim is against the Company, together with David Ossip, Chair and Co-Chief Executive Officer of the Company, Arthur Gitajn, former EVP and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, Gnaneshwar Rao, director of the Company, and Brent Bickett, director of the Company, as well as certain third parties. On or about February 22, 2023, the parties reached an agreement that Bluemoon Capital Ltd. will seek the court’s approval to discontinue the action on a without costs basis. It is expected this will proceed in short order and the matter will be considered closed.
