Forecasting revenue growth of 7% to 9% and diluted earnings per share growth of 12% to 14% for fiscal 2016

ROSELAND, N.J.July 30, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ADP® (Nasdaq:ADP), a leading global provider of Human Capital Management (HCM) solutions, today announced its fourth quarter and fiscal 2015 financial results and provided an initial outlook for fiscal 2016.

For the quarter, revenues from continuing operations grew 5% to $2.7 billion and were negatively impacted three percentage points by unfavorable foreign currency translation. Pretax earnings grew 7% to $382 million and were negatively impacted two percentage points by unfavorable foreign currency translation. Pretax margin expanded 30 basis points in the quarter to 14.2%, which included a negative impact of about 20 basis points from the client funds extended investment strategy. Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations increased 15% to $0.55 on a lower effective tax rate and fewer shares outstanding compared with last year's fourth quarter, and included higher-than-anticipated selling expenses resulting from exceptionally strong new business bookings that exceeded internal expectations.

For the year, revenues from continuing operations grew 7% to $10.9 billion and were negatively impacted two percentage points by unfavorable foreign currency translation. Pretax earnings grew 10% to $2.1 billion and were negatively impacted one percentage point by unfavorable foreign currency translation. Pretax margin expanded 60 basis points to 18.9%, which included a negative impact of about 20 basis points from the client funds extended investment strategy. Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations increased 12% to $2.89 on a lower effective tax rate and fewer shares outstanding compared with a year ago. These results included higher-than-anticipated selling expense from better-than-expected new business bookings as well as a negative impact of about four cents from unfavorable foreign currency translation.

"ADP had another successful year, demonstrating that our strategy to drive sustainable growth is working," said Carlos Rodriguez, president and chief executive officer, ADP. "Our strong new business bookings growth across the ADP portfolio exceeded our expectations. This outperformance reflects the high demand for additional HCM solutions, including products that assist businesses in complying with the Affordable Care Act, and positions ADP well for long-term growth."

"ADP's results in fiscal 2015 reflect the fundamental strength of our business model," said Jan Siegmund, chief financial officer, ADP. "Our outperformance in new business bookings led to short-term pressure on our margins and earnings growth, but reflect the success of our offerings. ADP continued its shareholder friendly actions, and during fiscal 2015 returned approximately $2.5 billion of cash to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases." 

Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2015 Segment Results

Employer Services - Employer Services offers a comprehensive range of HCM and business outsourcing solutions.

  • Employer Services revenues increased 2% compared to last year's fourth quarter, and 5% for the year. This growth was negatively impacted by four percentage points in the quarter and two percentage points for the full year by unfavorable foreign currency translation. 
  • The number of employees on ADP clients' payrolls in the United States increased for the fourth quarter and the full year by 2.9% and 3.0% respectively, when measured on a same-store-sales basis for a subset of clients ranging from small to large businesses.
  • Employer Services client revenue retention declined about 30 basis points compared to last year's fourth quarter, and for the fiscal year remains at a record level of 91.4%.
  • Employer Services pretax margin decreased approximately 80 basis points compared to last year's fourth quarter resulting from higher selling expenses due to better-than-anticipated new business bookings. For the full year, pretax margin increased approximately 70 basis points, primarily due to operating efficiencies.

PEO Services - PEO Services provides comprehensive employment administration outsourcing solutions through a co-employment relationship.

  • PEO Services revenues increased 16% for the fourth quarter and 17% for the full year.
  • PEO Services pretax margin increased approximately 80 basis points for the quarter and 110 basis points for the year, primarily driven by sales productivity and operating efficiencies. 
  • Average worksite employees paid by PEO Services increased 13% for the quarter to approximately 384,000, and 14% for the year to approximately 363,000.

Interest on Funds Held for Clients

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

  • For the fourth quarter, interest on funds held for clients was flat compared to $95 million a year ago, and for the full year increased 1% to $378 million compared to $373 million a year ago.
  • Average client funds balances increased 4% in the fourth quarter to $22.6 billion compared to $21.8 billion a year ago, and for the full year increased 5% to $21.8 billion compared to $20.7 billion a year ago. This growth was negatively impacted by two percentage points in the quarter and one percentage point for the full year by unfavorable foreign currency translation. 
  • The average interest yield on client funds was 1.7% in the fourth quarter, down slightly compared to a year ago, and for the full year was 1.7%, down approximately 10 basis points compared to 1.8% a year ago.

Discontinued Operations

On June 26, 2015, ADP sold a business that generated approximately $29.8 million in revenues and approximately $0.01 of earnings per share in fiscal 2015. The results of operations and the pretax gain of $102.3 million on the sale of this business are reported within discontinued operations in the fiscal 2015 and 2014 results within this release, along with the results of operations of CDK Global which was divested in a tax-free spin-off on September 30, 2014.

Fiscal 2016 Outlook

ADP anticipates full-year fiscal 2016 revenue growth of 7% to 9% compared to fiscal 2015 revenue of $10.9 billion. This forecast includes an anticipated negative impact of one to two percentage points due to unfavorable foreign currency translation. ADP forecasts diluted earnings per share from continuing operations to grow 12% to 14% compared with $2.89 per share in fiscal 2015, including an expected negative impact of about one percentage point due to unfavorable foreign currency translation. This earnings per share forecast does not assume incremental share repurchases beyond anticipated dilution related to employee benefit plans.

ADP's earnings growth forecast represents an anticipated pretax margin expansion of about 50 basis points from 18.9% in fiscal 2015. Additionally, ADP anticipates an effective tax rate of 33.7% compared with 33.5% in fiscal 2015. Worldwide new business bookings are anticipated to grow 8% to 10% compared to over $1.6 billion sold in fiscal 2015.

Revenue growth for fiscal 2016 is expected to be lower in the first and second quarters of the fiscal year due to continued negative impacts expected from foreign currency translation, as well as the expected timing of starts that will convert to new recurring revenue from new business bookings sold during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015. Therefore, ADP anticipates revenue growth to be below the guidance range of 7% to 9% in the first and second quarters of fiscal 2016, and above the guidance range of 7% to 9% in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2016.

In addition, ADP expects additional expense in the first and second quarters of the fiscal year resulting from investment in operational resources to support the implementation of higher-than-anticipated new business bookings in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015. This additional expense, combined with the expected lower revenue growth in the first and second quarters, is anticipated to result in flat to slightly positive pretax earnings growth for the first and second quarters of fiscal 2016.

Reportable Segments Fiscal 2016 Forecast 

  • For the Employer Services segment, ADP anticipates revenue growth of 5% to 6%, including a negative impact of about two percentage points from unfavorable foreign currency translation, with pretax margin expansion of about 100 basis points.
  • ADP forecasts pays per control will increase 2.0% to 3.0% for the year.
  • For the PEO Services segment, ADP anticipates 15% to 17% revenue growth with pretax margin expansion of about 50 basis points.

Client Funds Extended Investment Strategy Fiscal 2016 Forecast

The interest assumptions in our forecasts are based on Fed Funds futures contracts and forward yield curves as of July 28, 2015. The Fed Funds futures contracts used in the client short and corporate cash interest income forecasts assumes a moderate increase in the Fed Funds target rate beginning in the second half of the fiscal year. The three-and-a-half and five-year U.S. government agency rates based on the forward yield curves as of July 28, 2015 were used to forecast new purchase rates for the client and corporate extended, and client long portfolios, respectively.

  • Interest on funds held for clients is expected to increase $5 to $15 million, or 1% to 4%. This is based on anticipated growth in average client funds balances of 3% to 5% to $22.5 to $22.9 billion and an average yield of 1.7% which is anticipated to be flat compared to the fiscal 2015 average yield of 1.7%.
  • The total contribution from the client funds extended investment strategy is expected to increase up to $10 million compared with a year ago.
