Third Quarter 2022 Consolidated Results

Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2022 grew 8.7% to $750 million, as compared to $690 million. The growth was driven by a 9.9% increase in Employer Solutions revenue due to acquisitions, increased volumes and net commercial activity and a 2.2% increase in Professional Services. Recurring revenues, which comprise over 83% of total revenue, increased by 11% to $625 million due to growth in Employer Solutions.

Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $212 million or 28.3% of revenue compared to $238 million, or 34.5% of revenue. The change in gross profit was due to acquisitions in the fourth quarter of 2021, higher costs related to growth in current and forecasted future revenues and increased compensation expenses related to share-based awards.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2022 were $178 million, compared to $135 million. The change was primarily due to increased compensation expenses related to share-based awards in line with overperformance relative to BPaaS bookings targets.

Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased to $31 million as compared to $28 million. The increase was primarily due to higher interest expense on our Term Loan due to movement in market interest rates.

The Company’s loss before income tax benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2022 of ($65) million decreased compared to a loss before income tax benefit of ($120) million primarily due to non-operating fair value remeasurements.

While the Closing Date was July 2, 2021, we have determined that as the impact of one day would be immaterial to the results of operations, we will utilize July 1, 2021 as the date of the Business Combination for accounting purposes.
