First Quarter 2022 Consolidated Results
For the first quarter, total revenue for the Successor three months ended March 31, 2022 increased 5.2% to $725 million, as compared to $689 million for the Predecessor prior year period. The growth was driven by a 6.1% increase in Employer Solutions revenue due to acquisitions, increased volumes and net commercial activity along with growth in the legacy Hosted Business segment. This growth was partially offset by a 2.2% reduction in Professional Services revenue.
Gross profit for the Successor three months ended March 31, 2022 increased 2.3% to $223 million or 30.8% of revenue, from $218 million, or 31.6% of revenue for the Predecessor prior year period. The improvement in gross profit was primarily driven by revenue growth, partially offset by higher costs associated with investments in the business and key resources.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the Successor three months ended March 31, 2022 were $140 million, compared to $117 million for the Predecessor prior year period. The increase was primarily due to the issuance of equity compensation related incentive awards.
Interest expense for the Successor three months ended March 31, 2022 improved to $29 million as compared to $62 million for the Predecessor prior year period. The reduction was primarily due to the redemption of our Unsecured Senior Notes and the partial paydown of a Term Loan in conjunction with the Business Combination completed during the third quarter of 2021.
Loss before income tax expense for the Successor three months ended March 31, 2022 was $12 million compared to a loss before income tax benefit of $24 million for the Predecessor prior year period.

Financial Statement Presentation
This press release includes certain historical consolidated financial and other data for Alight Holding Company, LLC (formerly known as Tempo Holding Company, LLC) (“Alight Holdings”) and its subsidiaries. In connection with the completion of our business combination transaction with FTAC on July 2, 2021 (the “Business Combination”), we undertook certain reorganization transactions so that substantially all of our assets and business are held by Alight Holdings, of which Alight, Inc. is the managing member.
As a result of the Business Combination, for accounting purposes, the Company is the acquirer and Alight Holdings is the acquiree and accounting predecessor. 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. As a result of the Business Combination, the tables in this press release present selected financial data for the successor for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and the predecessor for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company’s discussion of the results of operations compares the results of the Successor three months ended March 31, 2022 to the results of the Predecessor three months ended March 31, 2021.
Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and intangible amortization adjusted for the impact of certain non-cash and other items that we do not consider in the evaluation of ongoing operational performance, is a non-GAAP financial measure used by management and our stakeholders to provide useful supplemental information that enables a better comparison of our performance across periods. Both Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA less Capital Expenditures are non-GAAP measures that are used by management and stakeholders to evaluate our core operating performance.
Adjusted Net Income, which is defined as net loss attributable to Alight, Inc. adjusted for intangible amortization and the impact of certain non-cash items that we do not consider in the evaluation of ongoing operational performance, is a non-GAAP financial measure used solely for the purpose of calculating Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share.
Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by the adjusted weighted-average number of shares of Alight Inc. common stock, diluted. Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share is used to by us and our investors to evaluate our core operating performance and to benchmark our operating performance against our competitors.
Reconciliations of the historical non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release are included in the attached tables. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is used to enhance our investors’ and lenders’ understanding of certain aspects of our financial performance. This discussion is not meant to be considered in isolation, superior to, or as a substitute for the directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of projected non-GAAP measures included in the “Business Outlook” section of this press release are not included as they cannot be provided without unreasonable effort because of the inherent difficulty of accurately forecasting the occurrence and financial impact of the various adjusting items necessary for such reconciliation that have not yet occurred, are out of our control, or cannot be reasonably predicted. For the same reasons, we are unable to assess the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a material impact on our future GAAP financial results.
