CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form10-Q (“Form10-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 (“HCM”) 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 can be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “seeks,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “assumes,” “projects,” “could,” “may,” “will,” “should,” and similar references to future periods, or by the inclusion of forecasts or projections. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements we make regarding the outlook for our future business and financial performance, such as those contained in Part I, Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

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. As a result, 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 and the following:

 

the impact of the Coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) pandemic on our business, operations, and financial results;

our inability to manage our growth effectively or execute on our growth strategy;

our inability to successfully expand our current offerings into new markets or further penetrate existing markets;

our failure to provide new or enhanced functionality and features;

significant competition in the market in which our solutions compete;

our failure to manage our aging technical operations infrastructure;

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;

changes in regulations governing financial services, privacy concerns, and laws or other domestic or foreign data protection regulations;

our inability to maintain necessary third party relationships, and third party software licenses, and identify errors in the software we license;

our inability to offer and deliver high-quality technical support, implementation and professional services;

our inability to attract and retain key executive officers 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

other risks and uncertainties described in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Please refer to attain or to maintain profitability;

significant competition for our solutions;

our inability to continue to develop or to sell our existing Cloud solutions;

our inability to manage our growth effectively;

the risk that we may not be able to successfully migrate our Bureau customers to our Cloud

solutions or to offset the decline in Bureau revenue with Cloud revenue;

the market for enterprise cloud computing develops slower than we expect or declines;

efforts to increase usePart II, Item IA, “Risk Factors” of this Form 10-Q and Part I, Item IA, “Risk Factors” of our Cloud solutions and our other applications may not succeed;

we fail to provide enhancements and new features and modifications to our solutions;

failure to comply withmost recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the Federal Trade Commission’syear ended December 31, 2020 (“FTC”2020 Form 10-K”) ongoing consent order regarding data protection;

system interruptions or failures, including cyber-security breaches, identity theft, or other disruptions that could compromise our information;

our failure to comply with applicable privacy, security and data laws, regulations and standards;

changes in regulations governing privacy concerns and laws or other domestic or foreign data protection regulations;

we are unable to successfully expand our current offerings into new markets or further penetrate existing markets;

we are unable to meet the more complex configuration and integration demands of our large customers;

our customers declining to renew their agreements with us or renewing at lower performance fee levels;

we fail to manage our technical operations infrastructure;

we are unable to maintain necessary third party licenses or errors;

our inability to protect our intellectual property rights, proprietary technology, information, processes, andknow-how;

we fail to keep pace with rapid technological changes and evolving industry standards; or

changes in laws and regulations related to the Internet or changes in the Internet infrastructure itself.

See Part II. Item IA. “Risk Factors”, 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 Form10-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 Form10-Q. For the reasons described above, we caution you against relying on any forward-looking statements, which should also be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included elsewhere in this Form10-Q.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, dollars in millions, except share and per share data) (Unaudited)

1. Organization

Ceridian HCM Holding Inc. and its subsidiaries (also referred to in this report as “Ceridian,” “we,” “our,” and “us”“us,” or the “Company”) offer a broad range of services and software designed to help employers to 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. Our operations are primarily located in the United States and Canada.

As of March 31, 2018, Ceridian owned a controlling financial interest in a joint venture, WorkAngel Organisation Limited (“LifeWorks”) (the “Joint Venture Company”), which offers an employee engagement platform that delivers employee assistance programs, social recognition, exclusive perks and discounts, a private social network, employee and corporate wellness, and employee engagement analytics in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. Prior to the formation of the joint venture, employee assistance programs were provided by Ceridian. On January 20, 2017, WorkAngel Organisation Limited changed its name to LifeWorks Corporation Ltd. On April 30, 2018, we distributed our ownership interest in the Joint Venture Company to our stockholders of record (the “LifeWorks Disposition”) prior to our initial public offering (“IPO”). Please refer to Note 19, “Subsequent Events,” for further discussion of the LifeWorks Disposition.

As of March 31, 2018, Ceridian HCM Holding Inc. was primarily owned by Ceridian LLC (the “Parent”) and Ceridian Holding II LLC (“Ceridian Holding II”). The Parent was 100% owned by Foundation Holding LLC, which in turn was 100% owned by Ceridian Holding LLC (“Ceridian Holding”).

The owners of Ceridian Holding and Ceridian Holding II included (i) affiliates andco-investors of Thomas H. Lee Partners, L.P. (“THL Partners”) and Cannae Holdings, LLC (“Cannae”) (THL Partners and Cannae are together referred to as the “Sponsors”), who collectively owned approximately 96% of the outstanding interests of both Ceridian Holding and Ceridian Holding II, and (ii) other individuals, who collectively owned approximately 4% of the outstanding interests of each holding company. The Sponsors initially acquired their indirect ownership interest in Ceridian Holding on November 9, 2007, when the Sponsors completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding equity of the Ceridian entities (the “2007 Merger”). The Sponsors acquired their ownership interest in Ceridian Holding II on March 30, 2016, when the Sponsors and other individuals purchased equity in Ceridian Holding II, which in turn purchased equity in Ceridian HCM Holding Inc. This equity financing transaction with Ceridian Holding II raised $150.2, of which $75.0 was contributed by Ceridian Holding II to Ceridian HCM Holding Inc. on March 30, 2016. The remaining $75.2 was committed to be funded to Ceridian HCM Holding Inc. within the following three years, and during the second quarter of 2017, the Board of Directors of Ceridian Holding II approved the funding of the remaining $75.2, which was transferred to Ceridian HCM Holding Inc. on June 28, 2017.

On April 30, 2018, we completed our IPO, in which we issued and sold 21,000,000 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $22.00 per share. We granted the underwriters a30-day option to purchase an additional 3,150,000 shares of common stock at the offering price, which was exercised in full. A total of 24,150,000 shares of common stock were issued on April 30, 2018. Concurrently, we issued 4,545,455 shares of our common stock in a private placement at $22.00 per share. We received gross proceeds of $631.3 from the IPO and concurrent private placement before deducting underwriting discounts, commissions, and other offering related expenses. Subsequent to the IPO and concurrent private placement, we completed an internal corporate reorganization, pursuant to which the limited liability companies that hold shares in us were merged with and into Ceridian HCM Holding Inc. At the time of these transactions, these limited liability companies had no assets other than equity interests in us or the other limited liability companies. As a result of these transactions, our previous stockholders now hold shares of our common stock directly, rather than through a series of limited liability companies. These transactions had no impact on our assets, liabilities, or operations. Please refer to Note 19, “Subsequent Events,” for further discussion of the IPO and concurrent private placement. The condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2018, including share and per share amounts, do not give effect to the IPO, the concurrent private placement, or the internal reorganization, as the IPO and such transactions were completed subsequent to March 31, 2018.

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 (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, theythe unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The accounting policies we follow are set forth in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” to Ceridian’s audited consolidated financial statements, included in our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2017 (our “2017 Annual Report”), included withinin our prospectus dated April 25, 2018, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 26, 2018, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (FileNo. 333-223905) (the “Prospectus”)2020 Form 10-K. The following notes should be read in conjunction with suchthese policies and other disclosures in our 2017 Annual Report and Prospectus.2020 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 condensed consolidated financial statements) necessary to present fairly in all material aspects the financial position, results of operations, comprehensive loss,income (loss), and cash flows from all periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

Reverse Stock SplitConvertible Senior Notes

On March 5, 2021, we issued $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 0.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026, and on March 16, 2021, after the initial purchasers exercised their option to purchase additional securities in full, we issued an additional $75.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 0.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026, resulting in an aggregate principal amount of $575.0 million (collectively, the “Notes”). The total net proceeds from the offering, after deducting initial purchase discounts and issuance costs, were $561.8 million. Please refer to Note 7, “Debt” for additional information.

In accounting for the issuance of the Notes, we separated the Notes into liability and equity components. The carrying amounts of the liability component was calculated by measuring the fair value of similar liabilities that do not have associated convertible features using a discounted cash flow model. The carrying amount of the equity component representing the conversion option was determined by deducting the fair value of the liability component from the par value of the Notes as a whole. This difference represents a debt discount that is amortized to interest expense over the respective terms of the Notes using the effective interest rate method. The equity component was recorded in additional paid-in capital and is not remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification.

In accounting for the related debt issuance costs, we allocated the total amount incurred to the liability and equity components of the Notes based on their relative values. Issuance costs attributable to the liability component are being amortized to interest expense over the contractual term of the Notes. The issuance costs attributable to the equity component were netted against the equity component representing the conversion option in additional paid-in capital.

To the extent that we receive the Notes conversion requests prior to their maturity, a portion of the equity component is classified as temporary equity, which is measured as the difference between the principal and net carrying amount of the Notes requested for conversion. Upon settlement of the conversion requests, the difference between the fair value and the amortized book value of the liability component of the Notes requested for conversion is recorded as a gain or loss on early note conversion. The fair value of the Notes is measured based on a similar liability that does not have an associated convertible feature based on the remaining term of the Notes.

Description

Adoption Date

Effect on the Financial Statements

Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740)

December 2019

These amendments simplify the accounting for income taxes, eliminates certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and clarifies certain aspects of the current guidance to improve consistent application among reporting entities.

January 2021

The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on our financial statements.

ASU 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)

August 2020

This amendment simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by removing certain separation models required under current GAAP for (1) convertible debt with a cash conversion feature and (2) convertible instruments with a beneficial conversion feature. As a result, a convertible debt instrument will be accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost.

January 2022

We plan to adopt the guidance as of January 1, 2022, using the modified retrospective method of transition.  Upon adoption, we expect to record a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated deficit on our consolidated balance sheet, primarily due to the reduction in non-cash interest expense associated with the historical separation of debt and equity components for our Notes.

ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting

March 2020

This amendment provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform.

Not yet adopted

This amendment may be elected over time through December 31, 2022 as reference rate reform activities occur. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a significant impact on our financial statements.

The acquisition of Ideal was recorded using the acquisition method of accounting, in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires uswhich the assets and liabilities assumed are recognized at their fair value. The purchase accounting has not been finalized as of June 30, 2021 but we have conducted a preliminary assessment of certain assets and liabilities related to make estimatesthe acquisition of Ideal.

Ascender

On March 1, 2021, we completed the purchase of contingent assets100% of the outstanding shares of Ascender HCM Pty Ltd. (“Ascender”) for $359.6 million, subject to working capital and liabilities atother adjustments. Ascender is a payroll and human resources solutions provider in the dateAsia Pacific Japan region.We entered into a forward foreign currency contract to hedge the purchase price for the Ascender acquisition which was denominated in Australian dollars, resulting in the recognition of a realized gain of $4.2 million included as a component of other expense, net in our financial statements, and the reported amountscondensed consolidated statement of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates that could significantly affect ouroperations.

The financial results of operations or financial condition involve the assignment of fair values to goodwill and other intangible assets, the testing of impairment of long-lived assets, the determination of our liability for pensions and postretirement benefits, the determination of fair value of stock options granted, and the resolution of tax matters and legal contingencies. Please refer to our 2017 Annual Report for a further discussion of these estimates.

Internally Developed Software Costs

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350, we capitalize costs associated with software developed or obtained for internal use when both the preliminary project stage is completed and our management has authorized further funding for the project, which it deems probable of completion. Capitalized software costs include only: (1) external direct costs of materials and services consumed in developing or obtaining the software; (2) payroll and payroll-related costs for employees who are directly associated with and who devote time to the project; and (3) interest costs incurred while developing the software. Capitalization of these costs ceases no later than the point at which the project is substantially complete and ready for its intended purpose. We do not include general and administrative costs and overhead costs in capitalizable costs. We charge research and development costs and other software maintenance costs related to software development to earnings as incurred.

Foreign Currency Translation

We have international operations whereby the local currencies serve as functional currencies. We translate foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities at theend-of-period exchange rates and foreign currency denominated statements of operations at the weighted-average exchange rates for each period. We report the effect of changes in the U.S. dollar carrying values of assets and liabilities of our international operations that are due to changes in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and their functional currency as foreign currency translation within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). Gains and losses from transactions and translation of assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the international operation are recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations within other expense, net.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which replaced all existing revenue guidance created by ASC Topic 606, including prescriptive industry-specific guidance. This standard’s core principle is that an entity will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Entities will need to apply more judgment and make more estimates than under the previous guidance. In July 2015 the FASB deferred the effective date for all entities by one year, making the guidance fornon-public companies effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption was permitted to the original effective date of December 15, 2016 (including interim reporting periods within that reporting period). The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933 for complying with new or revised accounting standards. An emerging growth company can, therefore, delay adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. Management has chosen to take advantage of this extended transition period to adopt ASU2014-09 beginning in the first quarter of 2019. Management anticipates using the retrospective method for adoption.

In preparation for this planned adoption, weAscender have been evaluating the impact of the new standard toincluded within our financial statements and accompanying disclosures in the notes to our consolidated financial statements. Our assessment of the impact includes an evaluation of the five-step process set forth in the new standard along with the enhancement of disclosures that will be required. To date, we have developed our initial plan for implementing the standard, which includes identifying customer contracts within the scope of the new standard, identifying performance obligations within those customer contracts, and evaluating the impact of incremental variable consideration paid to obtain those customer contracts. We have also undertaken a comprehensive review of all contracts that fall under the scope of the new standard; and, as of the date of this report, we have substantially completed our review ofin-scope contracts.

Based on analysis performed to date, we expect that adoption of the new standard will result in changes to the classification and timing of our revenue recognition. Specifically, we expect an increase in revenue classified as professional services and other revenue and a reduction in revenue classified as recurring services revenue under the new standard, as compared to current U.S. GAAP. Further, we expect that the new standard will result in changes to the timing of our revenue recognition compared to current U.S. GAAP. In compliance with the new standard, a contractual asset will be reflected on the consolidated balance sheets and will be amortized over the customers’ period of benefit, which is generally three years. We also expect changes to the timing of certain incremental selling, general, and administrative expenses, as the new standard will also require capitalizing and amortizing certain selling expenses, such as commissions and bonuses paid to the sales force. These sales expenses will be amortized over the customer’s period of benefit.

In periods of revenue growth, the changes above are expected to result in higher overall earnings before income taxes and net income when compared to current U.S. GAAP. We have not yet determined the impact of the disclosure requirements.

The following table presents the anticipated impacts that the adoption of ASC 606 would have for the periods presented:

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2016-02, “Leases,” which is intended to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. This standard requires balance sheet recognition for both finance leases and operating leases. This guidance is effective fornon-public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The guidance is required to be adopted using a modified retrospective approach. An entity will, in effect, continue to account for leases that commence before the effective date in accordance with previous U.S. GAAP unless the lease is modified, except that lessees are required to recognize aright-of-use asset and a lease liability for all operating leases at each reporting date based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments that were tracked and disclosed under previous U.S. GAAP. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard.

In February 2018 the FASB issued ASU2018-02, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income,” which is in response to a narrow-scope financial reporting issue that arose because of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The amendment in this update allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. This amendment is intended to improve the usefulness of information reported to financial statement users by requiring certain disclosures about stranded tax effects. The amendment in this update is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard. Please refer to Note 14, “Income Taxes,” for further discussion of this new guidance.

3. Discontinued Operations

Sale of Divested Benefits Continuation Businesses

In the third quarter of 2013, we entered into an agreement for the sale of certain of our customer contracts for consumer-directed benefit services, including flexible spending accounts, health reimbursement accounts, health savings accounts, commuter (parking or transit) premium-only plans, and tuition reimbursement plans (collectively, the “Consumer-Directed Benefit Services”). During the third quarter of 2015, we completed two separate transactions that resulted in the sale of our benefits administration and post-employment health insurance portability compliance businesses (the “Divested Benefits Continuation Businesses”).

These three transactions represented a strategic shift in our overall business and have had a significant impact on the financial statement results. Accordingly, the Divested Benefits Continuation Businesses, as well as the Consumer-Directed Benefit Services, have been presented as discontinued operations within the HCM segment in the condensed consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date forward and accompanying notes for all periods presented.are classified among both Cloud and Bureau solutions. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, Ascender revenue included within our condensed consolidated statement of operations was $22.9 million and $29.6 million, respectively. The amounts in the table below reflect the operating results and gain on saleacquisition of the Divested Benefits Continuation Businesses reported as discontinued operations, as well as supplemental disclosures of the discontinued operations:

For both sales of the Divested Benefits Continuation Businesses, consideration received was contingent upon the number and dollar value of successful customer transitions andAscender was recorded when earned. Proceedsusing the acquisition method of $0.9 were receivedaccounting, in which the assets and earned based on the customers transitioned during the three months ended March 31, 2017. These proceeds were forliabilities assumed are recognized at their fair value. The purchase accounting has not been finalized as of June 30, 2021 but we have conducted a final purchase pricetrue-up related to onepreliminary assessment of the transactions.

The remainingcertain assets and liabilities related to discontinued operations for the Divested Benefits Continuation Businesses asacquisition of March 31, 2018, and December 31, 2017, are immaterial amounts included in Other accrued expenses in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

4. Noncontrolling Interest

On March 1, 2016, we entered into a strategic joint venture with WorkAngel Technology Limited (“WorkAngel”) in which we contributed our existing LifeWorks business to a newly formed English limited company (WorkAngel Organisation Limited or the “Joint Venture Company”). On January 20, 2017, WorkAngel Organisation Limited changed its name to LifeWorks Corporation Ltd. We have a controlling interest in the Joint Venture Company, including certain preferential distribution rights; therefore, the Joint Venture Company is consolidated within our financial statements, and the other joint venture ownership interest component is presented as a noncontrolling interest.

Shareholder distributions will occur upon a liquidation event, as defined by the joint venture agreement. We hold all of the Class A shares, and former WorkAngel shareholders hold all of the Class B shares. Holders of Class A shares will have rights to 75 percent of the distributions up to $250 million, 25 percent of the distributions between $250 and $500 million, and 50 percent thereafter. Holders of Class B shares have rights to the remaining distributions. Income attributable to noncontrolling interest has been calculated by applying the Class B distribution percentages to the joint venture earnings as reported on a stand-alone basis.Ascender. During the three months ended March 31, 2018,June 30, 2021, we continued to refine our purchase accounting, resulting in certain reclassifications among balance sheet accounts, primarily goodwill and 2017, there was loss attributableother intangible assets. The intangible assets consist of customer relationships, trade name, and developed technology.

This conclusion aligns with how management monitors operating performance, allocates resources, and deploys capital. Pro forma financial information is not presented as neither the acquisition of Ideal nor Ascender qualified as a significant business combination.

5.4. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). U.S. GAAP outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy intended to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and the related disclosures. Certain assets and liabilities must be measured at fair value, and disclosures are required for items measured at fair value.

We measure our financial instruments using inputs from the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy. The three levels are as follows:

Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (that is, interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).

Level 3 inputs include unobservable inputs that reflect our assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. These inputs are developed based on the best information available, including internal data.

6.5. Customer Trust Funds

Overview

In connection with our U.S. and Canadian payroll and tax filing services,certain jurisdictions, we collect funds for payment of payroll and taxes; temporarily hold such funds in trust until payment is due; remit the funds to the clients’ employees and appropriate taxing authority;authorities; file federal, state, and local tax returns; and handle related regulatory correspondence and amendments. The customer assets are held in trust aresegregated accounts intended for the specific purpose of satisfying client fund obligations and therefore are not freely available for our general business use.

Our  In the U.S. and Canada, these customer trust funds are held and invested with the primary objectives being to ensure adequate liquidity to meet cash flow requirements and to protect the principal balance. In accordance with these objectives, we maintain on average approximately 45%in trusts.

(a)These investments have been in an unrealized loss position; however, the amount of unrealized loss is less than $0.05.

Management does not believe that any individual unrealized loss was unrecoverable as of March 31, 2018, represents an other-than-temporary impairment.June 30, 2021. 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, 2018,June 30, 2021, 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.

We perform an impairment assessment of our indefinite-lived trade name intangible assets as of March 31, 2018:October 1 of each year. 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.

Pursuant to the terms of which Ceridianthe new credit agreement, we became borrower of (i) a $702.0$680.0 million term loan debt facility (the “Term Debt”) and (ii) a $130.0$300.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) (the Term Debt and the Revolving Credit Facility are together referred to as(collectively, the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”). The obligations of Ceridian under the Senior Secured Credit Facility isare secured by first priority security interests in substantially all of the assets of Ceridian and is seniorthe domestic subsidiary guarantors, subject to Ceridian’s other debt.permitted liens and certain exceptions. The Term Debt has a maturity date of September 2020,April 30, 2025, and the Revolving Credit Facility has a maturity date of September 2019. DuringApril 30, 2023.On February 19, 2020, we completed the three months ended March 31, 2018, Ceridian made a final mandatorypre-payment of $0.3 towardsfirst amendment to the principal balance ofSenior Secured Credit Facility in which the Term Debt interest rate was reduced from LIBOR plus 3.00% to LIBOR plus 2.50%. Further, the interest rate trigger under the applicable rating by Moody’s Investor Service was removed by the first amendment.

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 “Notes”). The 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 Notes mature on March 15, 2026, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. The total net proceeds received from the 2016 saleoffering, after deducting initial purchase discounts and other debt issuance costs, were $561.8 million.

The Notes are unsecured obligations and do not contain any financial covenants or restrictions on the payments of dividends, the incurrence of indebtedness or the issuance or repurchase of securities by us or any of our United Kingdomsubsidiaries.

The following table presents details of the Notes:

$132.20

The Notes will be convertible at the option of the holders at any time only under the following circumstances:

During any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on June 30, 2021, if the last reported sale price per share of our common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for each of at least 20 trading days during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter;

During the 5 consecutive business days immediately after any 10 consecutive trading day period (such 10 consecutive trading day period, the “measurement period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price per share of our common stock on such trading day and the conversion rate on such trading day;

Upon the occurrence of certain corporate events or distributions on our common stock, as described in the indenture under which the Notes were issued;

If we call such Notes for redemption; or

At any time from, and including, September 15, 2025 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date.

Upon conversion, we may satisfy the conversion obligation by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and Ireland business.shares of our common stock, at our election, in the manner and subject to the terms and conditions provided in the indenture under which the Notes were issued. During the quarter ended June 30, 2021, the conditions allowing holders of the Notes to convert have not been met. The Notes were therefore not convertible during the second quarter of 2021 and are classified as a noncurrent liability in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2021.

SeniorWe may not redeem the Notes

Ceridian issued its senior notes due 2021 (“Senior Notes”) prior to March 20, 2024. On or after March 20, 2024, and on October 1, 2013, inor before the 30th scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, we may redeem the Notes at a cash purchase price equal to the principal amount of $475.0 guaranteedthe Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, but only if the last reported sale price per share of our common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price on (1) each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date we send the related redemption notice; and (2) the trading day immediately before the date we send such notice. In addition, calling any Note for redemption will constitute a make-whole fundamental change with respect to that Note, in which case the conversion rate applicable to the conversion of that Note will be increased in certain circumstances if it is converted after it is called for redemption.

If a “fundamental change” (as defined in the indenture under which the Notes were issued) occurs, then noteholders may require us to repurchase their notes at a cash repurchase price equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

In accounting for the issuance of the Notes and the related transaction costs, we separated the Notes into liability and equity components. The carrying amount of the liability component was initially calculated by Parentmeasuring the fair value of similar liabilities that do not have associated convertible features utilizing the interest rate of 4.5%. The carrying amount of the equity component representing the conversion option was $108.6 million and was determined by deducting the fair value of the liability component from the par value of the Notes. This difference represents a debt discount that is amortized to interest expense over the term of the Notes using the effective interest rate method. The equity component was recorded in additional paid-in capital and is not remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification.

Total issuance costs of $14.4 million related to the Notes were allocated between liability, totaling $11.7 million, and equity, totaling $2.7 million, in the same proportion as the allocation of the total proceeds to the liability and equity components. Issuance costs attributable to the liability component are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Notes. The excess of the principal amount of the liability component over its payment systems business unit (“Comdata”)carrying amount is amortized to interest expense over the contractual term of the Notes at an effective interest rate of 5.1%. The issuance costs attributable to the equity component were netted against additional paid-in capital. The amount recorded for the equity component of the Notes was $77.7 million, net of allocated issuance costs of $2.7 million and deferred tax impact of $28.2 million.

Capped Calls

In March 2021, in connection with the Parent’s divestiturepricing of Comdatathe 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 Notes and/or offset any potential cash payments we would be required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap based on November 14, 2014, Ceridian met the credit conditionscap price. For accounting purposes, the Capped Calls are separate transactions, and not part of the terms of the Notes. As the Capped Calls qualify for a scope exception from derivative accounting for instruments that are both indexed to allow the Senior Notesissuer'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 transition to stand-alone obligationsadditional paid-in capital which will not be remeasured. This represents the premium of Ceridian. The Senior Notes are unsecured.

$45.0 million paid for the purchase of the Capped Calls, net of the deferred tax impact of $12.0 million.

In 2020, 1,500,000 performance-based stock options (“Performance Option Award”) were granted under the 2018 EIP with an exercise price of $65.26. The vesting conditions for the Performance Option Award are based on the Company’s performance on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) with 750,000 shares available to vest when the Company’s per share closing price on the NYSE meets or exceeds $110.94, or 1.7 times the exercise price, for ten consecutive trading days, and the remaining 750,000 shares are available to vest when the Company’s per share closing price on the NYSE meets or exceeds $130.52, or 2.0 times the exercise price, for ten consecutive trading days. The Performance Option Award has a minimum time-based vesting period of 3 years. The vesting conditions must be achieved prior to May 8, 2025, or any unvested portion of the Performance Option Award will terminate. A Monte Carlo simulation model was used to determine the fair value of these performance-based stock options. The Monte Carlo model utilizes multiple input variables that determine the probability of satisfying the market conditions stipulated in the award. We have estimated an expected term of 5.3 years, based on the vesting period and contractual term.

As of March 31, 2018,June 30, 2021, there was $5.3$18.3 million of share-based compensation expense related to unvested performance-based stock optionsoption awards not yet recognized.

12. Income Taxes

Our income tax provision (benefit) represents federal, state, and international taxes on our income recognized for financial statement purposes whichand includes the effecteffects of temporary differences between financial statement income and income recognized for tax return purposes. Our incomeDeferred tax provision is negatively affected byassets and liabilities are recorded for temporary differences between the needfinancial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities as adjusted for a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets.the expected benefits of utilizing net operating loss carryforwards. We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax asset when it is more likely than not that all or a portion ofassets to reflect the net deferred tax assetassets that we believe will not be realized. In determiningassessing the requirementlikelihood that we will be able to recover our deferred tax assets and the need for a valuation allowance, we assess theconsider all available evidence, both positive and negative, evidence to estimate if sufficientincluding historical levels of pre-tax book income, expiration of net operating losses, expectations and risks associated with estimates of future taxable income, will be generated to utilize our deferredand ongoing prudent and feasible tax assets not already identifiedplanning strategies, as requiring a valuation allowance. well as current tax laws.As of March 31, 2018, and December 31, 2017, excluding the Joint Venture Company,June 30, 2021, we continued to record a full valuation allowance against our domestic deferred tax assets that are not offset by the reversal of deferred tax liabilities. In the future, if it is determined that we no longer have a requirementcontinue to record a valuation allowance against all or a portion of our$16.3 million against deferred tax assets primarily attributable to state net operating loss carryovers.

We recorded an income tax benefit of $5.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021, consisting of a $10.6 million tax benefit from current operations, a $3.5 million U.S. state tax benefit, a $1.9 million tax reduction attributed to foreign withholding tax, and a $1.9 million tax reduction attributed to the release of the valuation allowance would have a positive impact on our income tax provision.

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cut and Jobs Act legislation (the “Act”) was signed into law. The Act made broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code including: (a) lower U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018, (b) accelerated expensing of qualified capital investments for a specific period, and (c) a transition from a worldwide tax system to a territorial tax system.

ASC 740, Income Taxes, requires a company to record the effects of a tax law change in the period of enactment; however, shortly after enactment of the Tax Act, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 118, which allows a company to record a provisional amount when it does not have the necessary information available to complete its accounting for the change in the tax law. The FASB subsequently issued ASU2018-05 to codify SAB 118reserves, partially offset by amending ASC 740. ASU2018-05 continues to allow a company to record a provisional amount when it does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed in reasonable detail to complete its accounting for the change in the tax law. The measurement period ends when the company has obtained, prepared, and analyzed the information necessary to finalize its accounting, but cannot extend beyond one year.

We recorded income tax expense of $6.8 during the three months ended March 31, 2018. Included in this amount are the estimated impacts of requiring a current inclusion in U.S. federal income of certain earnings of controlled foreign corporations, allowing a domestic corporation an immediate deduction in the U.S. taxable income for a portion of its foreign-derived intangible income, and$2.4 million related to non-deductible share-based compensation, $5.3 million attributed to the base erosion anti-abuse tax.

In January and April of 2018,tax (“BEAT”) in the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) issued guidance that provides additional clarification on certain aspects of the transition tax calculation. We did not record any change to our transition tax liability during the three months ended March 31, 2018. We are considering the additional IRS guidance as we continue to gather additional information relatedU.S., $2.4 million attributed to the transitioninternational tax estimatesrate differential, and deferredother tax estimates to more precisely compute the transitionexpense items of $2.4 million.

There were 0 unrecognized tax and remeasurementbenefits as of deferred taxes. We anticipate additional IRS guidance relative to the impacts of the Act will be forthcoming throughout 2018.

June 30, 2021. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2018, and December 31, 2017,2020 were $10.5,$1.8 million, including $2.1$0.3 million of accrued interest,interest. We make adjustments to these reserves when facts and $10.5, including $2.2circumstances change, such as the closing of accrued interest, respectively.

To the extent that the final tax benefits asoutcome of March 31, 2018, $9.9 representsthese matters is different than the amount that, if recognized, would favorablyamounts 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 effective incomefinancial condition and operating results. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we released $1.8 million of our reserve primarily attributable to the conclusion of foreign tax rate.audits. It is reasonable to expect that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits willcould change in the next twelve months; however, we do not expect the change to have a significant impact on our results of operations or financial condition.

We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various states, and foreign jurisdictions. With a few exceptions, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, ornon-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2014.2016.

14. 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 that 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.

16.15. Related Party Transactions

Management Agreements

Ceridian is party to management agreements with affiliates of our Sponsors, Fidelity National Financial, Inc. (“FNF”) and THLM. FNF assigned its management agreement to Cannae in November 2017. Pursuant to these management agreements, Cannae and THLM each, respectively, agree to provide the Company with financial advisory, strategic, and general oversight services. These management agreements provide that we will pay annual management fees to each of Cannae and THLM in an amount equal to the greater of (a) $0.9, or (b) 0.5 percent of Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA, for purposes of the management agreements, is EBITDA as defined in the Ceridian Senior Secured Credit Facility, further adjusted to exclude the payments made pursuant to the management agreements and certain stock options or other equity compensation.

We recorded a management fee expense in selling, general, and administrative expense of $0.5, and $0.5 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, and 2017, respectively, related to these management agreements.

In April 2018, the management agreements terminated upon consummation of our IPO. Upon termination, the management agreements provided that we pay a termination fee equal to the net present value of the management fee for a seven year period, which was $11.3 million.

Indebtedness

Based on this ownership, $0.8 and $0.8 in interest payments were made to FNF and its subsidiaries during the three months ended March 31, 2018, and 2017, respectively. FNF and its subsidiaries conducted the debt transactions through third parties in the ordinary course of their business and not directly with us. Following Cannae’ssplit-off from FNF, FNF retained ownership of the Senior Notes.

Service and Vendor Related Agreements

Ceridian is a party to a service agreement with CompuCom Systems, Inc. (“CompuCom”), an investment portfolio company of THL Partners.

Our Solutions

We categorize our solutions into three categories: Cloud HCM (“Cloud”), Bureau HCM (“Bureau”), and LifeWorks offerings.

Cloud revenue is generated from HCM solutions that are delivered via two cloud offerings: Dayforce and Powerpay. The Dayforce offering is differentiated from our market competition as being a single application that offers a comprehensive range of functionality, including global HR, payroll, benefits, workforce management, and talent management on web and native iOS and Android platforms. Dayforce revenue is primarily generated from monthly recurring fees charged on a PEPM basis, generallyone-month in advance of service. Also included within Dayforce revenue is implementation, staging, and other professional services revenue; revenues from the sale, rental, and maintenance of time clocks; and billable travel expenses. The Powerpay offering is our solution designed primarily for small market Canadian customers. The typical Powerpay customer has fewer than 20 employees, and the majority of the revenue is generated from recurring fees charged on aper-employee,per-process basis. Typical processes include the customer’s payroll runs,year-end tax packages, and delivery of customers’ remittance advices or checks. In additionconsidered related parties. Payments made to the direct revenue earned from the Dayforce and Powerpay offerings, Cloud revenue also includes investment income generated from holding Cloud customer funds in trust before funds are remitted to taxing authorities, Cloud customer employees, or other third parties; and revenue from the sale of third party services.

Bureau revenue is generated primarily from HCM solutions delivered via a service-bureau model. These solutions are delivered via three primary service lines: payroll, payroll-related tax filing services, and outsourced human resource solutions. Revenue from payroll services is generated from recurring fees charged on aper-process basis. Typical processes include the customer’s payroll runs,year-end tax packages, and delivery of customers’ remittance advices or checks. In addition to customers who use our payroll services, certain customers use our tax filing services on a stand-alone basis. Our outsourced human resource solutions are tailored to meet the needs of individual customers, and entail our contracting to perform many of the duties of a customer’s human resources department, including payroll processing, time and labor management, performance management, and recruiting. We also performHCM-related individual services for customers, such as check printing, wage attachment and disbursement, and ACA management. Additional items included in Bureau revenue are custom professional services revenue; investment income generated from holding Bureau customer funds in trust before funds are remitted to taxing authorities, Bureau customer employees, or other third parties; consulting services related to Bureau offerings; and revenue from the sale of third party services.

LifeWorks joint venture revenue is primarily generated from employee assistance, wellness, recognition, and incentive programs offered directly by LifeWorks in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and various other countries through LifeWorks’ network of contractors. LifeWorks offers employee engagement services, such as employee assistance programs, social recognition, discounts from participating vendors, a private social network, employee and corporate wellness, and employee engagement analytics.

16. Net LossIncome (Loss) per Share

We compute net lossincome (loss) per share of common stock using the treasury stock method.

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to Ceridian available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.

For the calculation of diluted net loss per share, net loss per share is adjusted by the effect of dilutive securities, including awards under our share-based compensation plans. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the resulting net loss attributable to Ceridian available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of fully diluted common shares outstanding. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, and 2017, our potential dilutive shares, such as stock options, RSUs, and shares of senior and junior convertible preferred stock were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share as the effect of including these shares in the calculation would have been anti-dilutive.

The numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted net lossincome (loss) per share computations arewere calculated as follows:

Pro Forma Net Loss Per Share

Pro forma basic andThe shares underlying the conversion option in the Notes were not considered in the calculation of diluted net lossincome (loss) per share as the effect would have been anti-dilutive. Based on the initial conversion price, the entire outstanding principal amount of the Notes as of June 30, 2021 would have been convertible into approximately 4.3 million shares of our common stock. Since we expect to settle the principle amount of the 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 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 three months ended March 31, 2018, has been computed to reflectNotes. We excluded the number of shares that will be outstanding after the internal corporate reorganization subsequent to our IPO and concurrent private placement, in which our senior convertible preferred stock and junior convertible preferred stock was converted into common stock. Pro forma basic and diluted net loss per share does not givepotentially dilutive effect to our IPO or concurrent private placement and the use of proceeds therefrom.

19. Subsequent Events

Reverse Stock Split

On April 10, 2018, we effected a1-for-2 reverse stock split of our common stock. All of the common share and per share information referenced throughout this interim report have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this reverse stock split.

Initial Public Offering and Concurrent Private Placement

On April 30, 2018, we completed our initial public offering (“IPO”), in which we issued and sold 21,000,000 sharesconversion spread of common stock at a public offeringthe Notes as the average market price of $22.00 per share. We granted the underwriters a30-day option to purchase an additional 3,150,000 shares of common stock at the offering price, which was exercised in full. A total of 24,150,000 shares of common stock were issued on April 30, 2018, with gross proceeds of $531.3 from the IPO before deducting underwriting discounts, commissions, and other offering expenses. Immediately subsequent to the closing of our IPO on April 30, 2018, THL / Cannae Investors LLC, one of our existing stockholders controlled by our Sponsors, purchased from us in a private placement $100.0 of our common stock at a price per share equal toduring the offering price. Based onthree and six months ended June 30, 2021 was less than the offeringconversion price of $22.00 per share, 4,545,455 shares were issued in this private placement. The condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2018, including share and per share amounts, do not give effect to the IPO, concurrent private placement, orNotes. In connection with the internal corporate reorganization discussed in Note 1, “Organization,” as the IPO and related transactions were completed subsequent to March 31, 2018.

Debt Refinancing

Concurrently with closingissuance of the IPO andNotes, we entered into Capped Calls, which were not included for purposes of calculating the concurrent private placement, we applied the net proceeds from the IPO to satisfy and to discharge the indenture governing ournumber of diluted shares outstanding, $475.0 principal amount Senior Notes, and they will be redeemed on May 30, 2018. We also refinanced our remaining indebtedness under our (i) $702.0 (original principal amount) Senior Term Debt and (ii) $130.0 Revolving Credit Facility, including accrued interest and related costs and expenses, with new senior credit facilities consistingas their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

LifeWorks Disposition

Contemporaneously with the IPO and concurrent private placement, we distributed our interest in LifeWorks to our existing stockholders of record prior to the IPO on a pro rata basis in accordance with their pro rata interests in us. As a result of the LifeWorks Disposition, we no longer have any material obligations under the LifeWorks joint venture agreement. In addition, upon completion of the LifeWorks Disposition, LifeWorks is no longer a separate reportable segment, and we will no longer have anon-controlling interest on our consolidated financial statements.

Overview

Ceridian is a global human capital management (“HCM”) software company. We categorize our solutions into two categories: Cloud and Bureau solutions. Cloud revenue is generated from HCM solutions that are delivered via two cloud offerings: Dayforce, our flagship cloud HCM platform, providesand Powerpay, a cloud human resources (“HR”), and payroll solution for the Canadian small business market. We also continue to support customers using our legacy North America Bureau solutions, which we generally stopped actively selling to new customers following the acquisition of Dayforce in 2012, and customers using our acquired Bureau solutions. We invest in maintenance and necessary updates to support our Bureau customers and continue to migrate them to Dayforce. Revenue from our Cloud and Bureau solutions include an allocation of 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, regardless of industry or size, 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, exposingrevealing 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 are afounder-led organization, and our culture combines the agility and innovation of astart-up with a history of deep domain and operational expertise.

In the first half of 2020, we launched the Dayforce Wallet in the U.S. and followed that with the launch in Canada in 2021. The 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 employers’ 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.

We sell Dayforce through our direct sales force on a subscriptionper-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 can serve customers of all sizes, ranging from 100 to over 100,000 employees. We have rapidly grown the Dayforce platform to more than 3,1505,164 live Dayforce customers as of March 31, 2018.June 30, 2021. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2018,June 30, 2021, we added over 150125 and 258 net new live Dayforce customers.customers, respectively.

In addition to Dayforce, we sell Powerpay, a cloud HR and payroll solution for the Canadian small business market, through both direct sales and established partner channels. We also continue to support customers using our Bureau solutions, which we generally stopped actively selling to new customers following the acquisition28 |       Q2 2021 Form 10-Q


Table of Dayforce. We invest in maintenance and necessary updates to support our Bureau customers and continue to migrate them to Dayforce. We also own a controlling financial interest in a joint venture, LifeWorks, which offers an employee engagement platform that delivers employee assistance programs, social recognition, exclusive perks and discounts, a private social network, employee and corporate wellness programs, and employee engagement analytics in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.Contents

How We Generate Revenue

We generate recurring revenues primarily from recurring fees charged for the use of our Cloud HCM solutions, Dayforce and Powerpay, as well as from our Bureau solutions and LifeWorks joint venture. We also generate professional services and other revenue associated primarily with the work performed to assist customers with the planning, design, implementation, and staging of their cloud-based solution. Our HCM solutions are typically provided through long-term customer relationships that result in a high level of recurring revenue. For Dayforce, we primarily charge monthly recurring fees on a PEPM basis, generallyone-month in advance of service, based on the number and type of solutions provided to the customer and the number of employees and other users at the customer. Our standard Dayforce contracts are generally for a three to five-year period. The average time it takes to implement Dayforce typically ranges from three months for smaller customers to nine months for larger customers. Once Dayforce is implemented, the customer goes live, and we begin to generate recurring revenue. For Powerpay, we charge customers recurring fees on aper-employee,per-process basis. Powerpay can typically be implemented on a remote basis within one to three days, at which point we start receiving recurring fees. For our Bureau solutions, we primarily charge recurring fees on aper-process basis. We also generate recurring revenue from investment income from funds held in trust on behalf of our customers. The LifeWorks joint venture also generates recurring revenue, primarily from employee assistance, wellness, recognition, and incentive programs.

Our Solutions

We categorize our solutions into three categories: Cloud HCM, Bureau HCM, and LifeWorks solutions.

Cloud revenue is generated from HCM solutions that are delivered via two cloud offerings: Dayforce and Powerpay. The Dayforce offering is differentiated from our market competition as being a single application that offers a comprehensive range of functionality, including global HR, payroll, benefits, workforce management, and talent management on web and native iOS and Android platforms. Dayforce revenue is primarily generated from monthly recurring fees charged on a PEPM basis, generallyone-month in advance of service. Also included within Dayforce revenue is implementation, staging, and other professional services revenue; revenues from the sale, rental, and maintenance of time clocks; and billable travel expenses. The Powerpay offering is our solution designed primarily for small market Canadian customers. The typical Powerpay customer has fewer than 20 employees, and the majority of the revenue is generated from recurring fees charged on aper-employee,per-process basis. Typical processes include the customer’s payroll runs,year-end tax packages, and delivery of customers’ remittance advices or checks. In addition to the direct revenue earned from the Dayforce and Powerpay offerings, Cloud revenue also includes investment income generated from holding Cloud customer funds in trust before funds are remitted to taxing authorities, Cloud customer employees, or other third parties; and revenue from the sale of third party services.

Bureau revenue is generated primarily from HCM solutions delivered via a service-bureau model. These solutions are delivered via three primary service lines: payroll, payroll-related tax filing services, and outsourced human resource solutions. Revenue from payroll services is generated from recurring fees charged on aper-process basis. Typical processes include the customer’s payroll runs,year-end tax packages, and delivery of customers’ remittance advices or checks. In addition to customers who use our payroll services, certain customers use our tax filing services on a stand-alone basis. Our outsourced human resource solutions are tailored to meet the needs of individual customers, and entail our contracting to perform many of the duties of a customer’s human resources department, including payroll processing, time and labor management, performance management, and recruiting. We also performHCM-related individual services for customers, such as check printing, wage attachment and disbursement, and ACA management. Additional items included in Bureau revenue are custom professional services revenue; investment income generated from holding Bureau customer funds in trust before funds are remitted to taxing authorities, Bureau customer employees, or other third parties; consulting services related to Bureau offerings; and revenue from the sale of third party services.

LifeWorks joint venture revenue is primarily generated from employee assistance, wellness, recognition, and incentive programs offered directly by LifeWorks in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and various other countries through LifeWorks’ network of contractors. LifeWorks offers employee engagement services, such as employee assistance programs, social recognition, discounts from participating vendors, a private social network, employee and corporate wellness, and employee engagement analytics.

Our History

Ceridian was acquired in 2007 by affiliates andco-investors of Thomas H. Lee Partners, L.P. (“THL Partners”) and Cannae Holdings, Inc., formerly known as Fidelity National Financial Ventures, LLC (“Cannae”) (THL Partners and Cannae are together referred to as the “Sponsors”). In April 2012, Ceridian acquired Dayforce Corporation, which had built Dayforce, a Cloud HCM solution. In the months following the acquisition, Dayforce founder David D. Ossip was named Chief Executive Officer of Ceridian HCM, and shortly thereafter, we generally stopped actively selling our Bureau solutions to new customers in the United States to focus our resources on expanding the Dayforce platform and growing Cloud HCM solutions. For each quarter since September 30, 2016, our Cloud HCM revenue has surpassed our Bureau HCM revenue.

As part of our strategy to focus on the growth of our Cloud HCM solutions business, we (i) sold our consumer-directed benefit services business in 2013, (ii) merged Comdata, our payment systems business unit, with FleetCor Technologies Inc. in 2014, (iii) sold our benefits administration and post-employment compliance business in 2015, and (iv) sold our United Kingdom and Ireland businesses and a portion of our operations that supported such businesses in the Republic of Mauritius in 2016. Our benefits administration and post-employee compliance business, our United Kingdom and Ireland businesses, and our divested Mauritius operations are presented as discontinued operations in our financial statements. Our consumer-directed

benefits services business and our benefits administration and post-employment compliance business are collectively referred to as our “Divested Benefits Businesses.” As a result of these transactions, we only actively sell Dayforce and Powerpay in our HCM segment, which we believe simplifies our business model and positions us well for continued growth. In 2016, we contributed our LifeWorks employee assistance program business to a joint venture, LifeWorks, that provides employee assistance, wellness, recognition, and incentives programs in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. Prior to the formation of the LifeWorks joint venture, employee assistance programs were provided by Ceridian.

Recent Developments

On April 30, 2018, we completed our initial public offering (“IPO”), in which we issued and sold 21,000,000 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $22.00 per share. We granted the underwriters a30-day option to purchase an additional 3,150,000 shares of common stock at the offering price, which was exercised in full. A total of 24,150,000 shares of common stock were issued on April 30, 2018, with gross proceeds of $531.3 million from the IPO before deducting underwriting discounts, commissions, and other offering expenses. Immediately subsequent to the closing of our IPO on April 30, 2018, THL / Cannae Investors LLC, one of our existing stockholders controlled by our Sponsors, purchased from us in a private placement $100.0 million of our common stock at a price per share equal to the offering price. Based on the offering price of $22.00 per share, 4,545,455 shares were issued in this private placement.

We applied the net proceeds from the IPO to satisfy and to discharge the indenture governing our outstanding $475.0 million principal amount Senior Notes, and they will be redeemed on May 30, 2018. Concurrently, we also refinanced our remaining indebtedness under our (i) $702.0 million (original principal amount) Senior Term Debt and (ii) $130.0 million Revolving Credit Facility, including accrued interest and related costs and expenses, with new senior credit facilities consisting of a $680.0 million term loan debt facility and a $300.0 million revolving credit facility.

Contemporaneously with the IPO and concurrent private placement, we distributed our interest in LifeWorks to our existing stockholders of record prior to the IPO on a pro rata basis in accordance with their pro rata interests in us (“LifeWorks Disposition”). As a result of the LifeWorks Disposition, we no longer have any material obligations under the LifeWorks joint venture agreement.

Please refer to Note 19, “Subsequent Events,” for further discussion of these transactions.

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 high customer retention rates, we have historically had a high level of visibility into our future revenues. The profitability of a customer to our business depends, in large part, on how long they have been a customer. Because in our business model, PEPM subscription fees are not charged until the customer goes live, and because we incur costs in advance of receiving PEPM revenue that are not offset by our implementation fees, weWe estimate that it takes an average of 2.5approximately two years before we are able to recover our implementation, customer acquisition, and other direct costs on a new Dayforce customer contract. As the proportion of Dayforce customers who have been live for two or more years increases, our related profitability increases. The following sets forth the number of live Dayforce customers at the end of each quarter presented:

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 platform. We also incur costs to manage the account, to supportretain customers, and to sell additional functionality. These costs, however, are significantly less than the costs initially incurred to acquire and to implement the customer.

COVID-19 Pandemic

Key Factors and Trends Affecting Our ResultsIn March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of Operations

Set forth below iscoronavirus (COVID-19) to be a discussion of somepandemic. The global spread of the key factorsCOVID-19 pandemic has continued to create global volatility, uncertainty, and trends affecting our results of operations.

Growing our Dayforce Customer Base

A key part of our strategy is toeconomic disruption. We have experienced and may continue to grow our Dayforceexperience curtailed customer base. We have developed sales and marketing efforts that are designed for effective customer acquisition. As of March 31, 2018, we had more than 3,150 live Dayforce customers, an increase of approximately 670 customers as compared to the total at March 31, 2017. Our continued focus on sales execution is important to drive further penetration of the Dayforce platform and to expand our market share. We also believe that there is a significant opportunity for our solution outside of our core North American markets. Dayforce was designeddemand, primarily as a global platform;result of declining employment levels at our customers in certain sectors, such as retail and we intend to expand globally through both the expansion of our own proprietary payroll functionality,hospitality, as well as through newlower customer utilization of professional services, due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, the federal funds rate cuts by the U.S. Federal Reserve and existing partnerships with local vendors, including our existing membership in the Payroll Services Alliance.

Extending Product Leadership

We are committedovernight rate target by the Bank of Canada have had and will continue to delivering market-leading HCM solutions preferred by employers and employees alike. We believe that maintaining our product leadership is critical to driving further revenue growth. Our leading market position in technology is basedhave negative effects on our ability to innovate and to bring new solutions to market. Dayforce is designed around our proprietary single application architecture, which features continuous calculation and includes a single cross-domain rules engine and a complete employee record, which facilitates new innovation. Since 2012, we have developed a full suite of HCM functionality. We intend to continue to extend the functionality and breadth of our platform in the future. We have a roadmap for continued development, which includes adding native payroll capabilities for additional countries. We intend to continue to invest in our product development and innovation to maintain our strong, differentiated technology position.

Retaining and Expanding Revenue from Existing Dayforce Customers

float revenue. The economic benefits of our business model include persistent, long-lived customer relationships, as well as the opportunity to realize additional revenue from existing customers. Our annual Cloud revenue retention rate was over 95% in 2017, reflecting high retention rates with Dayforce customers, driving strong customer lifetime value. Because our subscription revenue is based on a PEPM charge, as customers grow and add more employees, we realize a corresponding increase in PEPM revenue. Moreover, with the continued launch of new functionality for our Dayforce platform, we have the opportunity to realize incremental revenue by selling additional functionality to existing customers that do not currently utilize our full platform. We believe that this opportunity is particularly strong in the enterprise segment, where customers often start with a subset of our Dayforce platform in conjunction with point solutions from other vendors that we target to replace over time.

Managing the Migration of our Bureau Customers to Dayforce

We generally stopped actively selling our Bureau solutions to new customers in the United States in 2012 and have been marketing our Dayforce platform to new and existing customers since that time. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, Bureau revenue declined by $14.7 million, or 19.2%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017. Of the $14.7 million decline in Bureau revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2018, $6.1 million was associated with customers migrating to Dayforce, which represented 18%broader implications of the increase in Cloud revenue during this period. As the number of Bureau customers continues to decline,pandemic on our results of operations will depend,and overall financial performance remain uncertain. Please refer to the “Results of Operations” section below for further discussion of the financial impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

Recent Events

On April 30, 2021, we acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of O5 Systems, Inc. dba Ideal (“Ideal”), a talent intelligence software provider based in part,Toronto, Ontario for $41.3 million. The financial results of Ideal have been included in our consolidated results of operations from the acquisition date forward and are classified as a Cloud solution based on replacing the revenue from Bureau customer attrition and on maintaining the profitabilitynature of services to our remaining Bureau customers. We believe that our cloud Dayforce platform is attractive to many customers that currently use an outsourced service bureau for theirprovided.

On March 1, 2021, we completed the purchase of 100% of the outstanding shares of Ascender HCM Pty Ltd (“Ascender”), a payroll andHCM-related needs; and, as a result, that sales to new customers and sales of additional functionality to our growing Dayforce customer base will continue to more than offset the decline in revenue from Bureau customers. We also believe that we will continue to be able to provide services to our remaining Bureau customers at attractive margins. As we migrate our Bureau customers to Dayforce, we typically experience a revenue increase from such customers driven by increased product density on the Dayforce platform.

Profitably Managing our Growth

We carefully designed and built Dayforce to meet the needs of a homogeneous market with a common set of requirements and compliance challenges across organization sizes and industries. To support our rapid growth, we have rigorously managed our implementation and customer support operations to maintain consistent, repeatable methods and processes and to take advantage of automation. We believe that our business model enables us to realize significant operating leverage and economies of scale and that we can continue to acquire, to implement, and to support more customers and to generate more revenue without a corresponding increase in expenses. Our profitability depends in part upon our ability to achieve a balance HR solutions provider in the timingAsia Pacific Japan region, for $359.6 million. The financial results of Ascender have been included in our consolidated results of operations from the acquisition date forward and magnitudeare classified within both Cloud and Bureau solutions based on nature of required investmentsservices provided.

In March 2021, we issued $575.0 million in salesaggregate principal amount of 0.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Notes”), including the exercise in full by the initial purchasers of the Notes of their option to purchase an additional $75.0 million principal amount of the Notes.

On May 29, 2020, we completed the purchase of 100% of the outstanding shares of Excelity Global Solutions Pte. Ltd. (“Excelity”) for $77.2 million.  Excelity is a payroll and marketing, implementation, and customer support.HR solutions provider in the Asia Pacific region.

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. We have calculated revenue on a constant currency basis by applying the average foreign exchange rate in effect during the comparable prior period. The average U.S. dollar to Canadian dollar foreign exchange rate was $1.23, with a daily range of $1.20 to$1.26, for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $1.39, with a daily range of $1.34 to $1.42 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. As of June 30, 2021, the U.S. dollar to Canadian dollar foreign exchange rate was $1.24. 

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin

We believe that HCM Adjusted EBITDA and HCM Adjusted EBITDA margin,non-GAAP financial measures, are useful to management and investors as supplemental measures to evaluate our overall operating performance. HCM Adjusted EBITDA and HCM Adjusted EBITDA margin are components of our management incentive plan and are used by management to assess performance and to compare our operating performance to our competitors. We define HCM Adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, as adjusted to exclude net income or loss from discontinued operations, LifeWorks EBITDA, sponsor management fees,non-cash charges for asset impairments, gains or losses on assets and liabilities held in a foreign currency other than the functional currency of a company subsidiary,non-cashexchange gain (loss), share-based compensation expense and related employer taxes, severance charges, restructuring consulting fees, and environmental reservecertain other non-recurring charges. HCM Adjusted EBITDA margin is determined by calculating the percentage HCMthat Adjusted EBITDA is of Total HCM Revenue.total revenue. Management believes that HCM Adjusted EBITDA and HCM Adjusted EBITDA margin are helpful in highlighting management performance trends because HCM Adjusted EBITDA and HCM Adjusted EBITDA margin exclude the results of decisions that are outside the controlnormal course of operating management.

(1)We define HCM EBITDA from continuing operations as HCM net income or loss before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and net income or loss from discontinued operations.
(2)Represents expenses related to our management, monitoring, consulting, transaction, and advisory fees and related expenses paid to the affiliates of our Sponsors pursuant to the management agreement with THL Managers VI, LLC (“THLM”) and Cannae. See Note 16 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, “Related Party Transactions,” for further information.
(3)Represents the share-based compensation adjustment only for our HCM segment.
(4)Represents costs for severance compensation paid to employees whose positions have been eliminated, resulting primarily from the shift of business from our Bureau solutions to our Cloud solutions.
(5)Represents consulting fees and expenses incurred during the periods presented in connection with any acquisition, investment, disposition, recapitalization, equity offering, issuance or repayment of indebtedness, issuance of equity interests, or refinancing.

Components of Our Results of Operations

We have two operating and reportable segments, HCM and LifeWorks. HCM includes both of our Cloud solutions, Dayforce and Powerpay, as well as our Bureau HCM solutions. Our LifeWorks segment reflects the results of the LifeWorks joint venture.

Revenues

We have two categories of revenues: (i) recurring services and (ii) professional services and other. Recurring services revenues consist of the recurring fees that we charge for our Cloud HCM and Bureau HCM solutions, as well as LifeWorks solutions. For our Dayforce solutions, we primarily charge monthly recurring fees on a PEPM basis, generallyone-month in advance of service, based on the number and type of solutions provided to the customer and the number of employees at the customer. We charge Powerpay customers recurring fees on aper-employee,per-process basis. For our Bureau HCM solutions, we typically charge recurring fees on aper-process basis. We also generate recurring services revenue from investment income on our Cloud and Bureau customer funds held in trust before such funds are remitted to taxing authorities, customer employees, or other third parties. We refer to this investment income as float revenue. Professional services and other revenues consist primarily of charges relating to the work performed to assist customers with the implementation of their solutions. Also included in professional services and other revenues are any related training services, post-implementation professional services, and purchased time clocks. We also generate professional services and other revenues from other professional services and consulting services that we provide and for certain third party services that we arrange for our Bureau customers.

The following table presents our Cloud HCM revenue for both recurring and professional services and other, for both our Dayforce and Powerpay solutions for the periods presented.

(a)We present revenue growth in a constant currency to provide a framework for assessing how our underlying businesses performed, excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations. We calculate percentage change in revenue on a constant currency basis by applying a fixed 1.30 Canadian dollar to 1 U.S. dollar foreign exchange rate to revenues originally booked in Canadian dollars and 0.75 British pound sterling to 1 U.S. dollar foreign exchange rate to revenues originally booked in British pound sterling for all applicable periods.

Cloud revenue was $125.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, an increase of 38.0% when compared to three months ended March 31, 2017. Dayforce revenue increased 44.2%, and Powerpay revenue increased 15.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2018 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017. On a constant currency basis, Dayforce revenue increased 42.8%, and Powerpay revenue increased 10.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2018 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017. Our new business sales to Dayforce customers comprised 82% of our increase in Cloud revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2018, including sales to new Dayforce customers and sales of additional functionality to existing Dayforce customers; and the remaining 18% consisted primarily of customer migration to Dayforce from our Bureau solutions.

As we focused on our Cloud HCM solutions, we generally ceased marketing our Bureau solutions to new customers in the United States in 2012 and in Canada in 2015, and have been actively marketing our Dayforce platform to these customers since that time. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, Bureau revenue declined by $14.7 million, or 19.2%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Our customer trust funds are invested with safety of principal and liquidity as the primary objectives. As a secondary objective, we also seek to maximize float revenue, which is affected by the balances held in our customer trust funds and the interest rates earned on invested funds. The average float balance for our customer trust funds for the three months ended March 31, 2018, was $4,072.0 million, compared to $3,764.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The average

yield was 1.75% during the three months ended March 31, 2018, an increase of 52 basis points compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017. Investment income from invested customer trust funds included in revenue was $17.6 and $11.4 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, and 2017, respectively.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue consists of costs to deliver our solutions. Most of these costs are recognized as incurred. Some costs of revenue are recognized in the period that a service is sold and delivered. Other costs of revenue are recognized over the period of use or in proportion to the related revenue.

Share-Based Compensation Expense

We grant share-based compensation awards to certain employees, officers, andnon-employee directors as long-term incentive compensation. We recognize the related expense for time-based awards ratably over the applicable vesting period. We recognize the related expense for performance-based awards upon the achievement of the performance criteria. Such expense is recognized as either cost of revenue or selling, general, and administrative expense. The following table shows the allocation of share-based compensation expense among our expense line items for the periods presented:

(a)

We present revenue growth in a constant currency to provide a framework for assessing how our underlying businesses performed excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations. We calculate percentage change inhave calculated revenue on a constant currency basis by applying a fixed 1.30 Canadian dollar to 1 U.S. dollarthe average foreign exchange rate to revenues originally booked in Canadian dollars and 0.75 British pound sterling to 1 U.S. dollar foreign exchange rate to revenues originally booked in British pound sterling for all applicable periods.effect during the comparable prior period.

(b)Consists of Recurring services revenue and Professional services and other revenue related to Bureau.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had an adverse impact on our revenue streams during the three months ended June 30, 2021, primarily in the form of lower employment levels at our customers, lower float revenue resulting from reductions in the U.S. Federal Reserve federal funds rate and the Bank of Canada overnight rate target, lower average float balances for our customer funds, and lower demand for professional services, among other effects. We estimate the impact of lower employment levels at our customers was an approximately $7.5 million decline to our revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2021, of which approximately $6 million was related to Dayforce and approximately $1.5 million was related to Powerpay.

Total revenue increased $21.9$57.8 million, or 11.7%30.0%, to $208.9$250.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018,June 30, 2021, compared to $187.0$192.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017.June 30, 2020. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in Cloud revenue of $34.5$41.5 million, or 38.0%24.7%, from $90.7$167.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017,June 30, 2020, to $125.2$209.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018.June 30, 2021. Bureau revenue increased $16.3 million, which included $16.8 million of Ascender revenue and $7.2 million of Excelity revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The Cloud revenue increase was driven by an increase of $29.6$36.4 million, or 38.7%27.0%, in Cloud recurring services revenue and $4.9an increase of $5.1 million, or 34.3%15.4%, in Cloud professional services and other revenue. The increase in Cloud recurring services revenue

Table of $29.6 million was due to $17.7 million from new customers,add-ons, and revenue uplift from migrations of Bureau customers, net of customer losses; $6.1 million from the migration of Bureau customers; and $5.8 million from increasedContents

Excluding float revenue related to Cloud recurring services revenue. The increase in Cloud revenue of $34.5 million and the increase in LifeWorks revenue of $2.1 million were partially offset by a decline in Bureau revenue of $14.7 million, or 19.2%. Excluding the impact of migrations to Dayforce, Bureau revenue declined by $8.6 million, or 11.2%.

Onon a constant currency basis, total revenue grew 9.9%. This adjusted revenue growth was driven by28.4%, reflecting an 22.2% increase of 35.6% in Cloud revenue and 7.5% in LifeWorks revenue, partially offset by a decline of 20.0%70.0% increase in Bureau revenue. OnExcluding float revenue and on a constant currency basis, Cloud revenue growth reflected a 25.1% increase in Cloud recurring revenue and a 11.4% increase in Cloud professional services and other revenue.

Dayforce revenue increased 24.5%, and Powerpay revenue increased 26.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2018,June 30, 2021, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017,June 30, 2020. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, Ascender revenue included within Dayforce revenue was driven by Cloud$6.1 million. Excluding float revenue and on a constant currency basis, Dayforce revenue increased 23.0%, reflecting a 26.6% increase in Dayforce recurring services revenue which increased by 36.7%, and an 11.2% increase in Dayforce professional services and other revenue. Excluding float revenue whichand on a constant currency basis, Powerpay revenue increased by 29.9%, as we continued14.4%.

Float revenue included in recurring revenue was $10.4 million and $11.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020, respectively. Float revenue associated with Cloud revenue was $9.5 million and $10.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020, respectively. The average float balance for our customer funds for the three months ended June 30, 2021, was $3,771.0 million, compared to sign and$2,976.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of 26.7%.

Cost of revenue.revenue. Total cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2018,June 30, 2021, was $119.7$158.3 million, an increase of $6.5$44.3 million, or 5.7%38.9%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017.

June 30, 2020. Recurring cost of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2021, increased $16.1 million, or 32.7%, compared with the three months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to additional costs related to global expansion, including Ascender costs classified among both Cloud and Bureau and Excelity costs classified as Bureau, and costs to support the growing Dayforce customer base. Professional services and other cost of revenue increased by $3.9$9.4 million, or 24.8%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to additional costs incurred to take new customers live.

Product development and management expense increased $14.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018,June 30, 2021, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017, due to additional costs incurred to support the growing Dayforce customer base, partially offset by reductions in Bureau costs.

The reduction in cost of revenue for professional services and other of $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017, was primarily due to productivity improvements in implementing new customers, reflecting the increased experience of our implementation consultants and the continued use of automation in our implementation processes.

Product development and management expense includes costs related to software development activities that do not qualify for capitalization, such as development, quality assurance, testing of new technologies, enhancements to our existing solutions that do not result in additional functionality, and costs related to the management of our solutions.June 30, 2020. The increase in product developmentreflects additional personnel costs and management expense of $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to the

three months ended March 31, 2017, reflected increases in Dayforce product development efforts.efforts as well as additional share-based compensation and severance costs. For the three months ended March 31, 2018,June 30, 2021, and 2017,2020, our investment in software development was $14.2$33.1 million and $12.6$17.0 million, respectively, comprisedconsisting of $8.1$18.8 million and $7.2$7.6 million, of research and development expense, which is included within product development and management expense, and $6.1$14.3 million and $5.4$9.4 million in capitalized software development costs, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization expense associated with cost of revenue increased by $1.1$4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018,June 30, 2021, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017,June 30, 2020, as we continue to capitalize Dayforce related and other development costs and subsequently to amortize thosethese costs.

The overall 11.7% increase in revenue outpaced the 5.7% increase in cost of revenue, and gross profit increased by $15.4 million, or 20.9%, as we continued to leverage our investment in people and processes to realize economies of scale.

Selling, general, and administrative expense. Selling, general, and administrative expense increased $4.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017, reflecting increases in sales and marketing expenses and LifeWorks expenses, partially offset by a reduction in share-based compensation expense.

Total gross margin was 68.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2018,June 30, 2021, declined 400 basis points compared to 62.2%total gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2017. BureauJune 30, 2020, and gross profit increased by $13.5 million, or 17.2% as we continued developing and expanding our service offerings.

Cloud recurring services gross margin was 71.1%72.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2018,June 30, 2021, compared to 72.9%70.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2017.June 30, 2020. Excluding float revenue, Cloud recurring gross margin improved 200 basis points for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in Cloud recurring gross margin, excluding float revenue, reflects an increase in the proportion of Dayforce customers live for more than two years, which increased from 72% as of June 30, 2020, to 78% as of June 30, 2021, and was also attributable to consistent configuration that has enabled us to continue to realize economies of scale in hosting and customer support. Bureau recurring gross margin declined from 59.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2020, to 52.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2021, reflecting lower associated float revenue and a higher proportion of customer support costs to support the end-of-life of our legacy Bureau payroll products, as well as lower margins on acquired Bureau products for Excelity and Ascender. Professional services and other gross margin was (62.4)(11.8)% for the three months ended March 31, 2018, improving from (117.3)June 30, 2021, compared to (13.1)% for the three months ended March 31, 2017,June 30, 2020, reflecting an increase in profitable postgo-live professional services andcontinued productivity improvements in implementing new customers.

HCM operating profitSelling, general, and HCM Adjusted EBITDAadministrative expense. Selling, general, and administrative expense increased $16.4$37.2 million and $12.4 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2018,June 30, 2021, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017,June 30, 2020. Excluding the impact of share-based compensation and related employer taxes, restructuring consulting fees, severance expense, and certain other non-recurring charges; selling, general, and administrative expenses would have increased by $29.1 million. This adjusted increase reflects an increase of $14.7 million in general and administrative expense and $14.4 million in sales and marketing expense, both of which are primarily due to a $19.8 milliondriven by employee-related costs. The increase in revenue, which flowed throughsales and marketing expense aligns with our growth initiatives. The increase in general and administrative expense is also driven by an increase in amortization expense associated with the intangible assets recognized in relation to improve gross margin.

On a constant currency basis, LifeWorks revenue increased 7.5%Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net was $9.9 million and $6.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018,June 30, 2021, and 2020, respectively. The increase was primarily due to the interest on our convertible debt.

Other expense, net. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020, we incurred other expense, net of $8.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively. Other expense, net was primarily comprised of $4.8 million of foreign currency translation loss and $2.2 million of net periodic pension expense for the three months ended June 30, 2021.  For the three months ended June 30, 2020, other expense, net was primarily comprised of $0.9 million of net periodic pension expense and $0.6 million of foreign currency translation gain.

Income tax benefit. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020, we recorded income tax benefit of $12.0 million and $8.4 million, respectively. The $3.6 million increase in income tax benefit was primarily due to the $7.4 million tax benefit from current operations and a $6.3 million tax benefit attributable to U.S. state tax, partially offset by a $3.8 million tax expense increase attributable to the international tax rate differential, a $3.6 million increase attributed to the base erosion anti-abuse tax (“BEAT”) in the U.S, and other tax expense increase items of $2.6 million

Net (loss) income. We realized net loss of $25.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to net income of $5.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA increased by $2.4 million to $39.9 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017.

LifeWorks operating (loss) profitJune 30, 2020, and LifeWorks Adjusted EBITDA declined $2.2 million and $2.3 million, respectively,margin was 15.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2018,June 30, 2021, compared towith Adjusted EBITDA margin of 19.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2017,June 30, 2020.

(a)

We have calculated revenue on a constant currency basis by applying the average foreign exchange rate in effect during the comparable prior period.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had an adverse impact on our revenue streams during the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily in the form of lower employment levels at our customers, lower float revenue resulting from reductions in the U.S. Federal Reserve federal funds rate and the Bank of Canada overnight rate target, lower average float balances for our customer funds, and lower demand for professional services, among other effects. We estimate the impact of lower employment levels at our customers was an approximately $15 million decline to our revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2021, of which approximately $12 million was related to Dayforce and approximately $3 million was related to Powerpay.

Total revenue increased $69.6 million, or 16.8%, to $484.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $415.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in Cloud revenue of $53.3 million, or 14.9%, from $358.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, to $412.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Bureau revenue increased $16.3 million, which included $21.4 million of Ascender revenue and $14.3 million of Excelity revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The Cloud revenue increase was driven by an increase of $1.9$52.1 million, or 18.3%, in Cloud recurring revenue and an increase of $1.2 million, or 1.6%, in Cloud professional services and other revenue.

Recurring cost of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2021, increased $23.6 million, or 23.3%, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to additional costs related to global expansion, including Ascender costs classified among both Cloud and Bureau and Excelity costs classified as Bureau, and costs to support the growing Dayforce customer base. Professional services and other cost of revenue increased $11.5 million, or 14.3%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to additional costs incurred to take new customers live.  

Product development and management expense increased $23.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase reflects additional personnel costs and Dayforce product development efforts that are not eligible for capitalization and additional share-based compensation and severance costs. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020, our investment in software development was $59.3 million and $34.2 million, respectively, consisting of $34.0 million and $15.7 million, of research and development expense, which is included within product development and management expense, and $25.3 million and $18.5 million in selling,capitalized software development costs, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization expense associated with cost of revenue increased by $5.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020, as we continue to capitalize Dayforce related and other development costs and subsequently to amortize these costs.

Total gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2021, declined 490 basis points compared to total gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2020, and gross profit increased by $6.2 million, or 3.5% as we continued to leverage our investment in people and processes, while also developing and expanding our service offerings.

Cloud recurring gross margin was 72.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to 71.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Excluding float revenue, Cloud recurring gross margin improved by 160 basis points for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in Cloud recurring gross margin, excluding float revenue, reflects an increase in the proportion of Dayforce customers live for more than two years, which increased from 72% as of June 30, 2020, to 78% as of June 30, 2021, and was also attributable to consistent configuration that has enabled us to continue to realize economies of scale in hosting and customer support. Bureau recurring gross margin declined from 62.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2020, to 53.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, reflecting lower associated float revenue and a higher proportion of customer support costs to support the end-of-life process of our legacy Bureau payroll products, as well as lower margins on acquired Bureau products for Excelity and Ascender. Professional services and other gross margin was (13.9)% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to (7.8)% for the six months ended June 30, 2020, reflecting additional costs incurred to take new customers live as well as expansion of our international implementation.

LifeWorks Adjusted EBITDA

We report our financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP. To supplement this information, we also use LifeWorks Adjusted EBITDA, anon-GAAP financial measure, in this Form10-Q. We define LifeWorks Adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss before interest, taxes, depreciation, Selling, general, and amortization, as adjusted to excludenon-cash share-based compensationadministrative expense for our LifeWorks segment. Management believes that LifeWorks Adjusted EBITDA is helpful in highlighting management performance trends because LifeWorks Adjusted EBITDA excludes the results of decisions that are outside the control of operating management. By providing thisnon-GAAP financial measure, management believes we are enhancing investors’ understanding of our business and our results of operations, as well as assisting investors in evaluating how well we are executing our strategic initiatives.

Our presentation of LifeWorks Adjusted EBITDA is intended as a supplemental measure of our performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, U.S. GAAP. LifeWorks Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to operating income (loss), net income (loss), earnings per share, or any other performance measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP as measures of operating performance or operating cash flows or as measures of liquidity. Our presentation of LifeWorks Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed to imply that our future results will be unaffected by these items. LifeWorks Adjusted EBITDA is included in this Form10-Q because it is a key metric used by management to assess our operating performance.

LifeWorks Adjusted EBITDA is not defined under U.S. GAAP, is not a measure of net income, operating income or any other performance measure derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and is subject to important limitations. Our use of the term LifeWorks Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies in our industry and is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

LifeWorks Adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

LifeWorks Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

LifeWorks Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

LifeWorks Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any chargesincreased $58.6 million for the assets being depreciated and amortized that may havesix months ended June 30, 2021, compared to be replaced in the future;

LifeWorks Adjusted EBITDA does not reflectsix months ended June 30, 2020. Excluding the impact of share-based compensation uponand related employer taxes, restructuring consulting fees, severance expense, and certain other non-recurring charges; selling, general, and administrative expenses would have increased by $39.3 million. This adjusted increase reflects an increase of $20.1 million in general and administrative expense and $19.2 million in sales and marketing, both of which are primarily driven by employee-related costs. The increase in sales and marketing expense aligns with our results of operations;growth initiatives. The increase in general and

LifeWorks Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect administrative expense is also driven by an increase in amortization expense associated with the intangible assets recognized in relation to our income taxrecent acquisitions. Please refer to the “Non-GAAP Measures” section for additional information on the excluded items.

Interest expense, or the cash requirements to pay our income taxes.

In evaluating LifeWorks Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses similar to those eliminated in this presentation.

Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Data

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial data consists of our unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operationsnet. Interest expense, net was $15.5 million and unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of cash flows$13.5 million for the threesix months ended March 31, 2018,June 30, 2021, and 2020, respectively. The increase was primarily due to interest on our unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2018. You should readconvertible debt.

Other expense, net. For the information set forth below together with the “Results of Operations” section above, the historical condensed consolidated financial statements and the corresponding notes included elsewhere in this Form10-Q. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations and unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the threesix months ended March 31, 2018June 30, 2021, and the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as2020, we incurred other expense, net of March 31, 2018, have been adjusted to give effect to the distribution$12.8 million and $2.9 million, respectively. Other expense, net was primarily comprised of shares of LifeWorks. The stockholders will receive these interests in a taxable distribution; and based on current estimates of the value of our interest in LifeWorks at the time of the disposition, we currently anticipate that we will incur approximately $3.2$6.7 million of foreign taxescurrency translation loss and use approximately $96.0$4.4 million of our U.S. federal net operating losses to offsetperiodic pension expense for the U.S. tax gain. Thesix months ended June 30, 2021.  For the six months ended June 30, 2020, other expense, net operating losses are currently subject to a full valuation allowance, therefore, the tax gain recognitionwas primarily comprised of $1.7 million of net periodic pension expense and resulting use of the net operating loss and release of the valuation allowance result in no anticipated U.S. tax expense.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet, statement of operations, and statement of cash flows have been derived from our historical condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form10-Q. The statements are for informational purposes only and do not purport to represent what our financial position and results of operations actually would have been had the LifeWorks disposition occurred on the dates indicated, or to project our financial performance for any future period.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet adjustments assume that our distribution of LifeWorks occurred as of March 31, 2018. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations and unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of cash flows assume that the separation occurred as of January 1, 2018.

The adjustment amounts primarily represent the LifeWorks segment amounts as presented in our financial statements with the addition of $3.2$1.2 million of foreign currency translation loss.

Income tax benefit. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020, we recorded income tax benefit of $5.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively. The $5.2 million increase in income tax benefit was primarily due to the $13.5 million tax benefit from current operations and a $5.8 million tax benefit attributable to U.S. state tax, partially offset by a $6.2 million tax expense expectedincrease attributable to be incurred by Ceridian as non-deductible share-based compensation, a result of expected gains recognized on the taxable distribution of LifeWorks to our stockholders. The adjustment$6.2 million tax expense increase attributed to the incomebase erosion anti-abuse tax expense is comprised of two components: (i) the elimination of the LifeWorks tax expense of $1.0 million, and (ii) the addition of the $3.2 million expected tax expense to be incurred on the distribution. No pro forma adjustments are necessary for the expected use of net operating losses to offset taxable gains expected(“BEAT”) in the U.S., as they are subjectand other tax expense increase items of $1.8 million.

Net (loss) income. We realized net loss of $45.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to a full valuation allowancenet income of $14.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA declined by $8.3 million to $84.4 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020, and would not have an impactAdjusted EBITDA margin was 17.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared with Adjusted EBITDA margin of 22.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity are our existing cash and equivalents, cash provided by operating activities, borrowingsavailability under our credit facilities,Revolving Credit Facility, and proceeds from debt issuances and equity offerings. As of March 31, 2018,June 30, 2021, we had cash and equivalents of $62.2$335.2 million and availability under our revolving credit facilitytotal debt balance was $1,246.5million.

On March 5, 2021, we completed the private offering of $500.0 million Notes, and on March 16, 2021, the initial purchasers exercised their full option to purchase an additional $75.0 million Notes, resulting in an aggregate principal amount of $575.0 million. The total net proceeds from the offering, after deducting initial purchase discounts and issuance costs, were $561.8 million. In connection with the Notes, we entered into capped call transactions which are expected to reduce the potential dilution of our common stock upon any conversion of the Notes and/or offset any cash payments we could be required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted Notes. We used an aggregate amount of $45.0 million. No cash amounts were drawn onmillion of the revolving credit facility asnet proceeds of March 31, 2018. Our total indebtedness was $1,132.0 million as of March 31, 2018. the Notes to purchase the capped calls. Please refer to Note 9,7, “Debt,” to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information on our indebtedness.Notes, and the related indenture. We used the remainder of the net proceeds from the offering (i) to repay $295.0 million principal amount under the Revolving Credit Facility and pay related accrued interest and (ii) for general corporate purposes, which may include potential investments in businesses or acquisitions of companies that we may identify in the future.

On February 19, 2020, we completed the first amendment to the Senior Secured Credit Facility, in which the Term Debt interest rate was reduced from LIBOR plus 3.00% to LIBOR plus 2.50%. Further, the interest rate trigger under the applicable rating by Moody’s Investor Service was removed by the first amendment.Please refer to Note 7, “Debt,” to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information on our Senior Secured Credit Facility.

On April 2, 2020, in light of the current uncertainty in the global capital markets resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, Ceridian elected to borrow $295.0 million under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility as a precautionary measure to increase our cash position and to preserve financial flexibility. We repaid the $295.0 million draw on December 8, 2020.

Our primary liquidity needs are related to funding of general business requirements, including the payment of interest and principal on our indebtedness, working capital,debt, capital expenditures, pension contributions, and product development.

Concurrently with closing As of June 30, 2021, we held $2.0 million of restricted cash as collateral for bank guarantees. The bank guarantees provide financial assurance that we will fulfill certain lease obligations. The cash is restricted as to withdrawal or use while the IPO and the concurrent private placement on April 30, 2018, we applied the net proceeds to satisfy and discharge the indenture governing our outstanding $475.0 million principal amount Senior Notes, and they will be redeemed on May 30, 2018. We also refinanced our remaining indebtedness under our (i) $702.0 million (original principal amount) Senior Term Debt and (ii) $130.0 million Revolving Credit Facility, accrued interest and related costs and expenses, with new senior credit facilities consisting of a $680.0 million term loan debt facility and a $300.0 million revolving credit facility. Please refer to Note 19, “Subsequent Events,” for further discussion of these transactions.

Our customer trust funds are held and invested with the primary objectives being to ensure adequate liquidity to meet cash flow requirements and to protect the principal balance. In accordance with these objectives, we maintain on average approximately 45% of customer trust 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 55% of customer trust 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 in the trust to meet payment obligations, we also have financing arrangements and may pledge fixed income securities for short-term financing. The assets held in trust are intended for the specific purpose of satisfying client fund obligations and therefore are not freely available for our general business use.guarantee is outstanding.

We believe that our cash flow from operations, available cash and equivalents, and availability under our revolving credit facility and available cash and equivalents will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for the foreseeable future. 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 assure you 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 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 assure you 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. Although we have no specific current plans to do so, if we decide to pursue one or more significant acquisitions, we may incur additional debt or sell additional equity to finance such acquisitions, which would result in additional expenses 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. In accordance with these objectives, we maintain approximately 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, collateralized short-term investments or government securities; and we maintain approximately 45% of customer funds in fixed income portfolios with maturities ranging from 120 days to 10 years, consisting of government securities, as well as highly rated asset-backed, mortgage-backed, 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 client fund obligations and therefore are not freely available for our general business use.

The foregoing Management’s Discussion

Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the following Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk contain certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements represent our expectations or beliefs, including, but not limited to, our expectations concerning our operations and financial performance and condition. Words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “assumes,” “projects,” “could,” “may,” “will,” “should,” and similar expressionsAdjusted EBITDA margin are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statementsas supplemental measures of our performance that are not guaranteesrequired by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss), earnings per share, or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP, or as measures of operating cash flows or liquidity. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin should not be construed to imply that our future results will be unaffected by these items. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are included in this discussion because they are key metrics used by management to assess our operating performance.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are not defined under GAAP, are not measures of net income (loss) or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP, and are subject to certain risksimportant limitations. Our use of the terms Adjusted EBITDA and uncertaintiesAdjusted EBITDA margin may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies in our industry and are not measures of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin have important limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are that are difficult to predict. Our actual results could differ materially from those containedAdjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin do not reflect the following:

our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

any charges for the assets being depreciated and amortized that may need to be replaced in the future;

the impact of share-based compensation and related employer taxes upon our results of operations;

the significant interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;

our income tax expense or the cash requirements to pay our income taxes; and

certain other non-recurring charges.

In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, you should be aware that in the forward-looking statements duefuture we may incur expenses similar to risks and uncertainties associated with fluctuationsthose eliminated in our quarterly operating results, concentrationthis presentation.

Table of the Prospectus. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law or the terms of our indebtedness. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating any forward-looking statements contained herein.Contents

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 the COVID-19 pandemic. 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. 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. In connection with our U.S. and Canadian payroll and tax filing services,certain jurisdictions, we collect funds for payment of payroll and taxes; temporarily hold such funds in trustsegregated 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 U.S. customer trust funds primarily in high- quality bank deposits, money market mutual funds, or collateralized short-term investments. We may also invest these funds in U.S. Treasury and agencygovernment securities, as well as highly rated asset-backed, mortgage-backed, municipal,corporate, and corporatebank securities. Our Canadian customer trust funds

Based on current market conditions, portfolio composition and investment practices, a 100 basis point increase in market investment rates would result in approximately $21 million increase in float revenue over the ensuing twelve month period. There are investedno incremental costs of revenue associated with changes in securities issued by the government and provinces of Canada, highly rated Canadian banks and corporations, asset-backed trusts, and mortgages.float revenue.

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 other-than-temporary.unrecoverable.

We do not believe that an increase or decreasea change in interest rates of 100 basis points would have a material effect on our operating results or financial condition. 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.

A 100 basis point increase in LIBOR rates would result in an approximately $7 million increase in our interest expense, net over the ensuing twelve-month period.  

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. In 2017,2020, we contributed $25.3$105.0 million to the U.S. pension plan, which represented $17.0 million of required minimum contributions and $88.0 million of voluntary contributions. At the same time, we began the process to terminate the pension plan, which included modifying our pension plan.investment strategy to protect the now fully funded status. The effective discount rate used in accounting for pension and other benefit obligations in 20172020 ranged from 3.01%1.42% to 3.25%1.87%. The expected rate of return on plan assets for qualified pension benefits in 20182021 is 6.30%2.70%.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management has evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosureDisclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule13(a)-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form10-Q pursuant to Rule13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosureAct, are controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form10-Qthat are effective at a reasonable assurance level in ensuringdesigned 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 Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management includinghas evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expectthe 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 Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. We have not engaged an independent registered accounting firm to perform an audit of our internal control over financial reporting as of any balance sheet date or for any period reported in our financial statements. Presently, we are not an accelerated filer, as such term is defined by Rule12b-2the end of the Exchange Act, therefore; our management is not presently required to perform an annual assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. This requirement could apply as early as our Annual Report onperiod covered by this Form10-K for the year ending December 31, 2019 if certain triggers requiring accelerated filing deadlines 10-Q are met prior to that. Our independent public registered accounting firm will first be required to attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for our Annual Report on Form10-K for the first year we are no longer an “emerging growth company”.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 controlcontrols over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2018,June 30, 2021, that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controlcontrols over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

From time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. 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. Discussion of Legal Matters is incorporated by reference from Part I, Item 1, Note 14, “Commitments and Contingencies,” of this Form 10-Q and should be considered an integral part of Part II, Item 1, “Legal Proceedings”.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the reader should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. There have been no material changes in the Company's risk factors from those disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 with the exception of the items listed below, related to the issuance of the Notes and related Capped Calls in March 2021.

The accounting method for the Notes could adversely affect our reported financial condition and results of operations.

The accounting method for reflecting the Notes on our balance sheet, accruing interest expense for the Notes and reflecting the underlying shares of our common stock in our reported diluted earnings per share may adversely affect our reported earnings and financial condition.

Under applicable accounting principles, the initial liability carrying amount of the Notes was the fair value of a similar debt instrument that does not have a conversion feature, valued using our cost of capital for straight, non-convertible debt. We reflect the difference between the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes and the initial carrying amount as a debt discount for accounting purposes, which is amortized into interest expense over the term of the Notes. As a result of this amortization, the interest expense that we recognize for the Notes for accounting purposes will be greater than the cash interest payments we will pay on the Notes, which will result in lower reported income or higher reported loss. The lower reported income or higher reported loss resulting from this accounting treatment could depress the trading price of our common stock and the Notes. However, in August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board published an ASU, which we refer to as ASU 2020-06, that in certain cases will eliminate the separate accounting for the debt and equity components as described above. ASU 2020-06 will be effective for SEC-reporting entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. However, early adoption is permitted in certain circumstances for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. When effective, we expect to qualify for the elimination of the separate accounting described above which, as a result, will reduce the interest expense that we expect to recognize for the Notes for accounting purposes.

In addition, because we intend to settle conversions by paying the conversion value in cash up to the principal amount being converted and any excess in shares, we expect to be eligible to use the treasury stock method to reflect the shares underlying the Notes in our diluted earnings per share. Under this method, if the conversion value of the Notes exceeds their principal amount for a reporting period, then we will calculate our diluted earnings per share assuming that all the Notes were converted and that we issued shares of our common stock to settle the excess. However, if reflecting the Notes in diluted earnings per share in this manner is anti-dilutive, or if the conversion value of the Notes does not exceed their principal amount for a reporting period, then the shares underlying the Notes will not be reflected in our diluted earnings per share. In addition, if accounting standards change in the future and we are not permitted to use the treasury stock method, then our diluted earnings per share may decline. For example, ASU 2020-06 amends these accounting standards, effective as of the dates referred to above, to change the criteria to qualify for application of the treasury stock method for convertible instruments and instead may require application of the “if-converted” method. Under the “if-converted” method, diluted earnings per share would generally be calculated assuming that all the Notes were converted solely into shares of common stock at the beginning of the reporting period, unless the result would be anti-dilutive. If we are required to apply the “if-converted” method, it may reduce our reported diluted earnings per share.

Furthermore, if any of the conditions to the convertibility of the Notes is satisfied, then we may be required under applicable accounting standards to reclassify the liability carrying value of the Notes as a current, rather than long-term, liability. This reclassification could be required even if no noteholders convert their Notes and could materially reduce our reported working capital.

The Capped Calls may affect the value of the Notes and our common stock.

In connection with the pricing of the Notes, we entered into the Capped Calls. Please refer to Note 7, “Debt” for additional information. The Capped Calls are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to our common stock upon any conversion of the Notes and/or offset any potential cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal risksamount of converted Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap.

In addition, the option counterparties or their respective affiliates may modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various derivatives with respect to our common stock and/or purchasing or selling our common stock or other securities of ours in secondary market transactions following any conversion of the Notes, any repurchase of the Notes by us on any fundamental change repurchase date, any redemption date, or any other date on which the Notes are retired by us, in each case if we exercise our option to terminate the relevant portion of the Capped Calls. This activity could also cause or avoid an increase or a decrease in the market price of our common stock or the Notes, which could affect the ability of a noteholder to convert the Notes and, to the extent the activity occurs during any observation period related to a conversion of Notes, could affect the number of shares of common stock, if any, and value of the consideration that a noteholder will receive upon conversion of the Notes.

In addition, if any such Capped calls fails to become effective, the option counterparties or their respective affiliates may unwind their hedge positions with respect to our common stock, which could adversely affect the value of our common stock and the value of the Notes.

The Capped Calls are separate transactions (in each case that we believeentered into with the option counterparties), are materialnot part of the terms of the Notes and will not change the holders’ rights under the Notes. A noteholder will not have any rights with respect to the Capped Calls.

We do not make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any potential effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of the Notes or our common stock. In addition, we do not make any representation that the option counterparties will engage in these transactions or that these transactions, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.

We are subject to counterparty risk with respect to the Capped Calls, and the Capped Call may not operate as planned.

The option counterparties are financial institutions, and we are subject to the risk that they might default under the Capped Calls. Our exposure to the credit risk of the option counterparties is not secured by any collateral. Global economic conditions have from time to time resulted in the actual or perceived failure or financial difficulties of many financial institutions, including the bankruptcy filing by Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. and its various affiliates. If an option counterparty becomes subject to insolvency proceedings, we will become an unsecured creditor in those proceedings with a claim equal to our business,exposure at that time under our transactions with that option counterparty. Our exposure will depend on many factors, but, generally, the increase in our exposure will be correlated with increases in the market price or the volatility of our common stock. In addition, upon a default by an option counterparty, we may suffer adverse tax consequences and more dilution than we currently anticipate with respect to our common stock. We can provide no assurances as to the financial stability or viability of any option counterparty.

In addition, the Capped Calls are complex, and they may not operate as planned. For example, the terms of the Capped Calls may be subject to adjustment, modification, or in some cases, renegotiation if certain corporate or other transactions occur. Accordingly, these transactions may not operate as we intend if we are required to adjust their terms as a result of transactions in the future or upon unanticipated developments that may adversely affect the functioning of the Capped Calls.

Provisions in the indenture under which the Notes were issued could delay or prevent an otherwise beneficial takeover of us.

Certain provisions in the Notes and the indenture, dated as of March 5, 2021, between Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee, and us (the “Indenture”) could make a third-party attempt to acquire us more difficult or expensive. For example, if a takeover constitutes a fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture), then noteholders will have the right to require us to repurchase their Notes for cash. In addition, if a takeover constitutes a make-whole fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture), then we may be required to temporarily increase the conversion rate (as defined in the Indenture). In either case, and in other cases, our obligations under the Notes and the Indenture could increase the cost of acquiring us or otherwise discourage a third party from acquiring us or removing incumbent management, including in a transaction that noteholders or holders of our common stock may view as favorable.

Conversion of the Notes may dilute the ownership interest of existing stockholders.

The conversion of some or all of the Notes will dilute the ownership interests of existing stockholders to the extent we deliver shares of our common stock upon conversion of any of the Notes. Any sales in the public market of the common stock issuable upon such conversion could adversely affect our common stock’s prevailing market prices. In addition, the existence of the Notes may encourage short selling by market participants because the conversion of the Notes could be used to satisfy short positions, or anticipated conversion of the Notes into shares of our common stock could depress the price of our common stock.

The conditional conversion feature of the Notes, if triggered, may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operationsoperations.

Under certain circumstances, noteholders may convert their Notes at their option prior to the scheduled maturities. Upon conversion of the Notes, unless we elect to deliver solely shares of our common stock to settle such conversion, we will be obligated to make cash payments. In addition, noteholders will have the right to require us to repurchase their Notes upon the occurrence of a fundamental change at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and financial condition, fromunpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the risk factors previously disclosedfundamental change repurchase date (as defined in the prospectus, dated April 25, 2018, filed pursuantIndenture). Although it is our intention and we currently expect to Rule 424(b)(4) withsettle the SECconversion value of the Notes in cash up to the principal amount and any excess in shares, there is a risk that we may not have enough available cash or be able to obtain financing at the time we are required to make repurchases of Notes surrendered therefor or Notes being converted. In addition, our ability to make payments may be limited by law, by regulatory authority, or by agreements governing our future indebtedness. Our failure to repurchase Notes when the Indenture requires the repurchase or to pay any cash payable on April 26, 2018, relatingfuture conversions of the Notes as required by the Indenture would constitute a default under the Indenture. A default under the Indenture or the fundamental change itself could also lead to a default under agreements governing our initial public offeringfuture indebtedness. If the repayment of the related indebtedness were to be accelerated after any applicable notice or grace periods, we may not have sufficient funds to repay the indebtedness and repurchase the Notes or make cash payments upon conversions thereof. In addition, even if noteholders do not elect to convert their Notes, we could be required under applicable accounting rules to reclassify all or a portion of the outstanding principal of the Notes as a current, rather than long-term, liability, which is accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.would result in a material reduction of our net working capital.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Initial Public OfferingNone.

On April 30, 2018, we completed an initial public offering (“IPO”) of our common stock. In connection with the IPO, we issued and sold 24,150,000 shares of common stock at a price to the public of $22.00 per share. Prior to completion of the IPO, those shares were unregistered. However, as a result of their registration and sale pursuant to the IPO, we received approximately $531.3 million in gross proceeds before deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and other offering related expenses. None of the expenses associated with the IPO were paid to directors, officers, persons owning 10% or more of any class of our equity securities or to their associates or to our affiliates. Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC acted as representatives of the underwriters for the offering.

We registered the shares under the Securities Act on a Registration Statement on FormS-1 (RegistrationNo. 333-223905), which was filed with the SEC on March 26, 2018 and declared effective on April 25, 2018.

The IPO closed on April 30, 2018. The offering terminated after all of the shares of common stock were sold.

There was no material change in the planned use of proceeds from our IPO as described in our Prospectus.

Concurrent Private Placement

Immediately subsequent to our IPO on April 30, 2018, THL / Cannae Investors LLC, one of our existing stockholders controlled by our Sponsors, purchased from us in a private placement $100.0 million of our common stock at a price per share equal to the initial public offering price. Based on the IPO price of $22.00 per share, 4,545,455 shares were issued in this private placement.
