Ceridian has not reconciled the Adjusted EBITDA range for the second quarter or full year of 2023 to the directly comparable GAAP financial measure because applicable information for the future period, on which this reconciliation would be based, is not available without unreasonable efforts due to uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense and related employer taxes, changes in foreign currency exchange rates, and other items. The probable significance of certain of these reconciling items is high and, based on historical experience, could be material.

Foreign Exchange

The average U.S. dollar to Canadian dollar foreign exchange rate was $1.35, with a daily range of $1.33 to $1.39 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $1.27, with a daily range of $1.25 to $1.29 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. To present the performance of the business excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations, Ceridian presents revenue on a constant currency basis, which it believes is useful to management and investors. Revenue was calculated on a constant currency basis by applying the average foreign exchange rate in effect during the comparable prior period.

For the full year and second quarter of 2023, Ceridian's guidance assumes an average U.S dollar to Canadian dollar foreign exchange rate of $1.34, compared to an average rate of $1.28 and $1.25 for the second quarter and full year of 2022, respectively.

Conference Call Details

Ceridian will host a conference call to discuss the first quarter 2023 earnings at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on May 3, 2023. A live Zoom Video Webinar of the event can be accessed at that time, through a direct registration link at https://ceridian.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_DXvw7KxXRMCoBaEHKgysNw.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Ceridian uses certain non-GAAP financial measures in this release including:

Non-GAAP Financial Measure		GAAP Financial Measure
EBITDA		Net income (loss)
Adjusted EBITDA		Net income (loss)
Adjusted EBITDA margin		Net profit margin
Adjusted Cloud recurring gross margin		Cloud recurring gross margin
Adjusted operating profit		Operating profit (loss)
Adjusted operating profit margin		Operating profit (loss) margin
Adjusted net income		Net income (loss)
Adjusted net profit margin		Net profit margin
Adjusted diluted net income per share		Diluted net income (loss) per share
Revenue, including total revenue and revenue by solution, on a constant currency basis		Revenue, including total revenue and revenue by solution
Dayforce recurring revenue per customer		No directly comparable GAAP measure

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

Ceridian defines its non-GAAP financial measures as follows:

• EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, and Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA, as adjusted to exclude share-based compensation expense and related employer taxes, and certain other items.
• Adjusted EBITDA margin is determined by calculating the percentage Adjusted EBITDA is of total revenue.
• Adjusted Cloud recurring gross margin is defined as Cloud recurring gross margin, as adjusted to exclude share-based compensation and related employer taxes, and certain other items, as a percentage of total Cloud recurring revenue.
• Adjusted operating profit is defined as operating profit (loss), as adjusted to exclude share-based compensation expense and related employer taxes, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, and certain other items.
• Adjusted operating profit margin is determined by calculating the percentage Adjusted operating profit is of total revenue.
• Adjusted net income is defined as net income (loss), as adjusted to exclude share-based compensation expense and related employer taxes, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, and certain other items, all of which are adjusted for the effect of income taxes.
• Adjusted net profit margin is determined by calculating the percentage Adjusted net income is of total revenue.
• Adjusted diluted net income per share is calculated by dividing adjusted net income by diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. When adjusted diluted net income per share is positive, diluted weighted average common shares outstanding incorporate the effect of dilutive equity instruments.
• Revenue, including total revenue and revenue by solution, on a constant currency basis is calculated by applying the average foreign exchange rate in effect during the comparable prior period.
• Dayforce recurring revenue per customer is an indicator of the average size of Dayforce recurring revenue customers. To calculate Dayforce recurring revenue per customer, Ceridian starts with Dayforce recurring revenue on a constant currency basis by applying the same exchange rate to all comparable periods for the trailing twelve months and excludes float revenue, the impact of lower employment levels in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and Ascender and ADAM HCM revenue. This amount is divided by the number of live Dayforce customers at the end of the trailing twelve month period, excluding Ascender and ADAM HCM. Ceridian has not reconciled the Dayforce recurring revenue per customer because there is no directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
