CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING F ORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”) contains 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,” 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:
• our inability 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 use 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 with the Federal Trade Commission’s (“FTC”) 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, and know-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 Form 10-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 Form 10-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 Form 10-Q. Any forward-looking statement made
by us in this 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.
1. Organization
Ceridian HCM Holding Inc. and its subsidiaries (also referred to in this report as “Ceridian,” “we,” “our,” and “us”) offer a broad range of services and
software designed to help employers 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.
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 a 30-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 in our IPO. Concurrently with our IPO, we issued an additional 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. The use of the proceeds from the IPO were as follows:
Prior to our IPO, 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 and co-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.
Subsequent to the IPO and concurrent private placement, we completed an internal corporate reorganization, pursuant to which the limited liability
companies that held 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, pre-IPO 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.

In the op inion 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) nec essary to present fairly in all material aspects
the financial position, results of operations, comprehensive loss, and cash flows from all periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results
for a full year.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements, and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates that could significantly affect our 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.
9
In preparation for this planned adoption, we have been evaluating the impact of the new s tandard to 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 con tracts, 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 repo rt, we have substantially completed our review of in-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, generally five years.
In periods of revenue growth, the changes above are expected to result in higher overall earnings before income taxes and net income, on an annual basis,
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:
10
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 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 leasin g arrangements. This standard requires balance sheet
recognition for both finance leases and operating leases. This guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018,
including interim periods within thos e fiscal years, and for non-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 e ntity 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 a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for a ll 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.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows—Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments”, which
addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice of certain cash receipts and cash payments. This guidance
is effective for non-public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2019. We have chosen to early adopt this guidance as of January 1, 2018, and have applied this guidance to the presentation of our debt refinancing transactions
that occurred during 2018.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, “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 13, “Income Taxes,” for further discussion of this new guidance.
In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-10, “Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases” and 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842): Targeted
Improvements”. The amendments in ASU No. 2018-10 affect narrow aspects of the guidance issued in ASU No. 2016-02. For non-early adopters, this amendment
is effective under the same timelines as ASU No. 2016-02. The amendments in ASU No. 2018-11 provide entities with an additional (and optional) transition
method to adopt the new lease requirements. Under the additional transition method, entities may initially apply the requirements by recognizing a cumulative-
effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The amendments in this update also provide lessors with a practical
alternative to separate non-lease components from the associated lease component. Under this alternative, lessors may account for those components as a single
component if the non-lease components otherwise would be accounted for under the new revenue guidance (Topic 606) and certain other criteria are met. For
entities that have not adopted Topic 842 before the issuance of this update, the effective date and transition requirements are the same as the effective date and
transition requirements in ASU No. 2016-02. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard.
3. Discontinued Operations
Distribution of LifeWorks Business
On March 1, 2016, we entered into a strategic joint venture with WorkAngel Technology Limited (“WorkAngel”) in which we contributed our existing
LifeWorks employee assistance program business to WorkAngel Organisation Limited, a newly formed English limited company. On January 20, 2017,
WorkAngel Organisation Limited changed its name to LifeWorks Corporation Ltd (“LifeWorks”). We had a controlling interest in LifeWorks, including certain
preferential distribution rights; therefore, LifeWorks was consolidated within our financial statements, and the other joint venture ownership interest component
was presented as a noncontrolling interest. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, there was loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest of $0.5.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, there was loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest of $0.5 and $0.4, respectively.
In the second quarter of 2018, contemporaneously with our IPO and concurrent private placement, we distributed our controlling financial interest in
LifeWorks to our stockholders of record prior to the IPO on a pro rata basis in accordance with their pro rata interests in us (the “LifeWorks Disposition”).
11
At this time, t he LifeWorks Disposition represent ed a strategic shift in our overall business and had a significant impact on the financial statement results.
Therefore, the Li feWorks business has been presented as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for
all periods presented. Ceridian’s net book value related to LifeWorks of $95.7 was recorded as a distribution throu gh additional paid in capital within our
condensed consolidated balance sheet during the second quarter of 2018.
The amounts in the table below reflect the operating results of LifeWorks reported as discontinued operations, as well as supplemental disclosures of the
discontinued operations:

Sale of UK Business
On June 15, 2016, we completed the stock sale of our United Kingdom and Ireland businesses, along with the portion of our Mauritius operations that
supported these businesses (the “UK Business”). Concurrent with this transaction, we entered into a strategic partnership with the acquirer, SD Worx, a leading
European provider of payroll and human capital management (“HCM”) services, to deliver cloud HCM services across Europe.
This transaction in the second quarter of 2016 represented a strategic shift in our overall business and had a significant impact on our financial statement
results. Therefore, the UK Business has been presented as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for
all periods presented.
12
The amounts in the table below reflect the operating results of the UK Business reported as discontinued operations, as well as supplemental disclosures of
discontinued operations:

These three transactions, which were completed in the third quarter of 2015, represented a strategic shift in our overall business and 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 in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for all periods presented. The amounts in the table
below reflect the operating results and gain on sale of the Divested Benefits Continuation Businesses reported as discontinued operations:

Income tax benefit (expense) 0.2 (0.2)
(Loss) income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes $ (0.2) $ 0.3
For both sales of the Divested Benefits Continuation Businesses, consideration received was contingent upon the number and dollar value of successful
customer transitions and was recorded when earned. The proceeds received and earned during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, were for a final purchase
price true-up related to one of the transactions.
The remaining liabilities related to discontinued operations for the Divested Benefits Continuation Businesses as of September 30, 2018, and December 31,
2017, were $0.2 and $0.3 of other accrued expenses.
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.
13
• 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.
As of December 31, 2017, our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis were categorized as follows:
(a) Fair value is based on inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, other than quoted prices.
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 approximately 46% 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 approximately 54% 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.
14
Financial Statement Pres entation
Investment income from invested customer trust funds is a component of our compensation for providing services under agreements with our customers.
Investment income from invested customer trust funds included in revenue was $15.8 and $11.6 for the three months ended September 30, 2018, and 2017,
respectively, and $49.6 and $34.2 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, and 2017, respectively. Investment income includes interest income, realized
gains and losses from sales of customer trust funds’ investments, and unrealized credit losses determined to be other-than-temporary.
The amortized cost of customer trust funds as of September 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, is the original cost of assets acquired. The amortized cost and
fair values of investments of customer trust funds available for sale as of September 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, are as follows:
15
The following represents the gross unrealized losses and the related fair value of the investments of customer trust funds available for sale, aggregated by
investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unreali zed loss position at September 30, 2018 .
(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 as of September 30, 2018, represents an other-than-temporary impairment. 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 September 30, 2018, 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.
Depreciation expense of property, plant, and equipment totaled $9.6 and $8.9 for the three months ended September 30, 2018, and 2017, respectively, and
$28.4 and $25.8 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, and 2017, respectively.

7. Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill
Goodwill and changes therein were as follows for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, and the year ended December 31, 2017:
Intangible Assets
Other intangible assets consisted of the following as of September 30, 2018:
The LifeWorks Disposition was considered a triggering event for testing of the trade name intangible asset for impairment. There was no impairment
indicated as of April 30, 2018. Please refer to Note 3, “Discontinued Operations,” for further discussion of the LifeWorks Disposition.
Amortization expense related to definite-lived intangible assets was $4.7 and $4.7 for the three months ended September 30, 2018, and 2017, respectively,
and $14.0 and $13.9 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, and 2017, respectively.

8. Debt
Overview
Our debt obligations consisted of the following as of the periods presented:
On April 30, 2018, Ceridian completed the refinancing of the remaining debt under the 2014 Senior Secured Credit Facility by entering into a new credit
agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the new credit agreement, Ceridian became borrower of (i) a $680.0 term loan debt facility (the “2018 Term Debt”) and (ii) a
$300.0 revolving credit facility (the “2018 Revolving Credit Facility”) (the 2018 Term Debt and the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility are together referred to as the
“2018 Senior Secured Credit Facility”). The 2018 Senior Secured Credit Facility is secured by all assets of Ceridian. The 2018 Term Debt has a maturity date of
April 30, 2025, and the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility has a maturity date of April 30, 2023. The 2018 Term Debt is currently subject to an interest rate of LIBOR
plus 3.25%. In the event our corporate rating from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. is B2 or better, the interest rate is reduced to LIBOR plus 3.00%, so long as the
rating is maintained.
In connection with the refinancing of the 2014 Senior Secured Credit Facility, we capitalized $3.6 of financing costs and recognized a loss on debt
extinguishment of $7.1 within interest expense, net on our condensed consolidated statement of operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
Senior Notes
Using the net proceeds received from the IPO and concurrent private placement, we satisfied and discharged the indenture governing our Senior Notes on
April 30, 2018, and the Senior Notes were redeemed on May 30, 2018. In connection with the redemption of the Senior Notes, we recognized a loss on debt
extinguishment of $18.6 within interest expense, net on our condensed consolidated statement of operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Effective November 1, 2013, although most participants who held stock options under the 2007 SIP converted their options to a newly created option plan,
the 2013 Ceridian HCM Holding Inc. Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (“2013 SIP”), a small number of participants maintained their stock options in the 2007
SIP. Concurrent with the IPO and legal reorganization, all outstanding stock options under the 2007 SIP were converted into options to purchase common stock of
Ceridian. As of September 30, 2018, there were 5,000 stock options outstanding under the 2007 SIP.
The 2013 SIP authorized the issuance of up to 12,500,000 shares of common stock of Ceridian to eligible participants through stock options and other stock
awards, which was increased to 15,000,000 on March 20, 2017, by the Board of Directors. Eligible participants in the 2013 SIP include Ceridian’s directors,
employees, and consultants.
19
As part of the 2013 SIP, the Board of Directors approved a stock appreciation rights program that authorized the issuance of up to 600,000 stock
appreciation rights. The perfor mance criteria for all stock appreciation rights was met on April 30, 2018, resulting in the vesting of all outstanding stock
appreciation rights. We recognized $1.5 of share-based compensation expense related to the vesting of these stock appreciation rig hts during the nine months
ended September 30, 2018 . As of September 30, 2018 , there were no remaining outstanding stock appreciation rights.
Stock options awarded under the 2013 SIP vest either annually on a pro rata basis over a four- or five-year period or on a specific date if certain
performance criteria are satisfied and certain equity values are attained. In addition, upon termination of service, all vested options must be exercised generally
within 90 days after termination, or these awards will be forfeited. The stock option awards have a 10-year contractual term and have an exercise price that is not
less than the fair market value of the underlying stock on the date of grant. As of September 30, 2018, there were 10,766,257 stock options and restricted stock
units outstanding under the 2013 SIP. We do not intend to grant any awards under the 2007 SIP or the 2013 SIP following our IPO.
On April 24, 2018, in connection with the IPO, the Board of Directors approved the Ceridian HCM Holding Inc. 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (“2018 EIP”),
which authorizes the issuance of up to 13,500,000 shares of common stock to eligible participants through equity awards. Equity awards under the 2018 EIP vest
annually on a pro rata basis, generally over a four-year period. In addition, upon termination of service, all vested awards must be exercised within 90 days after
termination, or these awards will be forfeited. The equity awards have a 10-year contractual term and have an exercise price that is not less than the fair market
value of the underlying stock on the date of the grant. As of September 30, 2018, there were 5,125,110 stock options and restricted stock units outstanding and
8,374,890 shares available for future grants of equity awards under the 2018 EIP.
Total share-based compensation expense was $4.8 and $4.3 for three months ended September 30, 2018, and 2017, respectively, and $19.5 and $12.8 for the
nine months ended September 30, 2018, and 2017.

options during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. As of September 30, 2018, there was no share-based compensation expense related to unvested

share-based compensation expense related to unvested RSUs not yet recognized, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.8 years.
Other (income) expense, net consisted of foreign currency translation income of $2.5, and foreign currency translation expense of $6.9 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2018, and 2017, respectively. The foreign currency translation is primarily related to remeasurement gains and losses from an intercompany
payable of a U.S. subsidiary denominated in Canadian dollars. This intercompany payable was repaid in the second quarter of 2018.

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cut and Jobs Act legislation (the “Tax Act”) was signed into law. The Tax 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. The reduction in the U.S. statutory tax rate from 35%
to 21% results in the reduction of the overall U.S. statutory tax rate, including state and local taxes, from 39.0% to 25.9%.
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 ASU No. 2018-05 to codify SAB 118 by amending
ASC 740. ASU No. 2018-05 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 $5.8 during the nine months ended September 30, 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 the base erosion anti-abuse tax.
In January and April of 2018, the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) issued guidance that provides additional clarification on certain aspects of the
transition tax calculation. For the quarter ended September 30, 2018, the application of the additional IRS guidance resulted in a $16.2 million increase in
includible untaxed foreign earnings, which resulted in a $5.7 million increase in tax expense. This increase was offset by the tax benefit of the utilization of $16.2
million of net operating loss carryover. The overall impact to tax expense in the quarter ended September 30, 2018, was zero.
22
The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2018 , and December 31, 2017 , were $1. 3 , including $0.2 of accrued interest, and $1.5,
including $0.4 of accrued interest, respectively. Of the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2018 , $1. 3 represents the amount that, if
recognized, would favorably impact our effective income tax rate. It is reasonable to expect that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will 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, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2014.
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.
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.
We recorded a management fee expense in selling, general, and administrative expense of $0.5 for the three months ended September 30, 2017, related to
these management agreements. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, and 2017, we recorded a management fee expense in selling, general, and
administrative expense of $12.0 and $1.4, respectively, related to these management agreements.

Debt
Prior to its split-off from FNF, Cannae was an affiliate of FNF. FNF and its subsidiaries owned $24.0 of the Senior Notes as of December 31, 2017. Based
on this ownership, $0.8 in interest payments were made for the three months ended September 30, 2017, and $1.3 and $2.4 during the nine months ended
September 30, 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’s split-off from FNF, FNF retained ownership of the Senior Notes.
Other Transactions
On July 23, 2018, Ronald F. Clarke was appointed to our Board of Directors. Mr. Clarke has been the chief executive officer of FleetCor Technologies Inc.
(“FleetCor Technologies”) since August 2000 and its chairman of the board of directors since March 2003. We provide services to FleetCor Technologies or one of
its wholly owned affiliates through certain commercial arrangements entered into in the ordinary course of business, which include provision of Dayforce HCM
services, reseller or referral arrangements whereby we resell or refer FleetCor Technologies services to its customers, and other administrative services. For these
services, we have recorded revenue of $0.1 and $0.1 for the three months ended September 30, 2018, and 2017, respectively, and $0.2 and $0.4 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2018, and 2017, respectively. We are also a corporate charge card customer of FleetCor Technologies. FleetCor Technologies receives a fee
from the merchants from whom purchases are made on the FleetCor Technologies corporate charge card by us. In connection with charge card purchases made by
us, FleetCor Technologies has provided us with rebates of approximately $0.1 and $0.2 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.
We provide Dayforce and related services to The Stronach Group, for which we recorded revenue $0.2 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
Alon Ossip, the brother of our chief executive officer, David Ossip, was the chief executive officer, and is currently a minority shareholder, of The Stronach Group.
We provide Dayforce and related services to FNF for which we recorded revenue of $0.1 for the three months ended September 30, 2018, and $0.3 and $0.4
for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, and 2017, respectively.
Our Solutions
We categorize our solutions into two categories, Cloud and Bureau.
• 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 with continuous calculation 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 per-employee, per-month (“PEPM”) basis, generally one-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 a
per-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.
24
• Bureau revenue is g enerated 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 a 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 customers who use our payroll services, c ertain 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 de partment, including payroll processing, time and labor management, performance management, and
recruiting. We also perform individual services for customers, such as check printing, wage attachment and disbursement, and Affordable Care Act (“
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.

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (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 income (loss) per share, net income (loss) per share is adjusted by the effect of dilutive securities, including awards under
our share-based compensation plans. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the resulting net income (loss) attributable to Ceridian available
to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of fully diluted common shares outstanding. During the three months ended September 30, 2017, and the
nine months ended September 30, 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 income ( loss ) per share computations are calculated as follows:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”) and in conjunction with our
audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2017, (our “2017 Annual Report”) included within 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 (File No. 333-223905) (the “Prospectus”). Any reference to a “Note” in this discussion relates to the accompanying notes to the unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q unless otherwise indicated.
Overview
Ceridian is a global human capital management (“HCM”) software company. Dayforce, our flagship cloud HCM platform, provides human resources
(“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. Our platform is designed to make work life better for our customers and their employees by
improving HCM decision-making processes, streamlining workflows, providing 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
a founder-led organization, and our culture combines the agility and innovation of a start-up with a history of deep domain and operational expertise.
We sell Dayforce through our direct sales force on a subscription per-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 3,450 live Dayforce customers as of September 30, 2018. For the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2018, we added over 150 and 450 new live Dayforce 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 acquisition of Dayforce. We invest in maintenance and necessary updates to support our Bureau customers and continue to migrate them to Dayforce.
Our Solutions
We categorize our solutions into two categories, Cloud and Bureau.
Cloud revenue is generated from 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 with continuous calculation 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, generally one-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
27
than 20 employees, and the majority of the revenue is generated from recurring fees charged on a per-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
authori ties, Cloud customer employees, or other third parties; and revenue from the sale of third party services.
Bureau revenue is generated primarily from 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 a
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 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 perform 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.
Within each solution, we categorize our revenue as: (i) recurring services or (ii) professional services and other. Recurring services revenues consist of the
recurring fees that we charge for our Cloud and Bureau solutions. 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 post-implementation professional services, purchased time clocks, and any related
training services.
Our History
Ceridian was acquired in 2007 by affiliates and co-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 solutions. For each quarter since September 30, 2016, our Cloud revenue has
surpassed our Bureau revenue.
As part of our strategy to focus on the growth of our Cloud solutions business, we undertook the following initiatives to simplify our business model:
• (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 businesses in 2015;
• (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; and
• (v) contributed our LifeWorks employee assistance program business to a joint venture, LifeWorks, in 2016, then distributed our ownership in this
joint venture to a holding company owned by our stockholders in April 2018.
Our benefits administration and post-employee compliance businesses, our United Kingdom and Ireland businesses, our divested Mauritius operations, and
our LifeWorks joint venture are presented as discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated financial statements. Our consumer-directed benefits services
business and our benefits administration and post-employment compliance businesses are collectively referred to as our “Divested Benefits Businesses.” As a result
of these transactions, we operate one segment and only actively sell Dayforce and Powerpay, which we believe simplifies our business model and positions us well
for continued growth.

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 a 30-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. Please refer to
Note 1, “Organization,” for further discussion of the IPO transaction.
We applied a portion of 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 were redeemed on May 30, 2018. Concurrently, we also refinanced our remaining debt 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. Please refer to Note 8, “Debt,” for further discussion of
the debt transactions.
The IPO, private placement, and debt refinancing had the following impacts to our results of operations and cash:

Contemporaneously with the IPO and concurrent private placement, we distributed our interest in LifeWorks to a holding company owned by 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 3, “Discontinued Operations,” for
further discussion of the LifeWorks Disposition.

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 a
high level of visibility into our future revenues. The profitability of a customer 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 fully offset by our implementation fees, we estimate that it takes an average of 2.5 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 the last seven quarters:
September 30, June 30, March 31, December 31, September 30, June 30, March 31, December 31,

or more years
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. We incur on-going costs to manage the account, to support customers, and
to sell additional functionality. These costs, however, are significantly less than the costs initially incurred to acquire and to implement the customer.
30
Retaining and Expanding Revenue from Existing Dayforce Customer s
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.
Adjusted EBITDA
We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, non-U.S. GAAP financial measures, are useful to management and investors as
supplemental measures to evaluate our overall operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA and 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 Adjusted EBITDA as
net income or loss before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, as adjusted to exclude net income or loss from discontinued operations, 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, share-based compensation expense, severance charges, restructuring consulting fees, transaction costs, and environmental reserve charges.
Adjusted EBITDA margin is determined by calculating the percentage Adjusted EBITDA is of Total Revenue. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA and
Adjusted EBITDA margin are helpful in highlighting management performance trends because Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin exclude the
results of decisions that are outside the normal course of our business operations. Please refer to the “Non-GAAP Measures” section below for a discussion and
31
reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin. The table below presents Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin for the periods
presented:

Total revenue 9.8% (1.6)% 11.4%
(a) We present revenue growth in a constant currency to assess 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 planning rate of $1.30 Canadian dollar to $1.00 U.S. dollar foreign exchange rate to revenues originally booked in
Canadian dollars for all applicable periods.
(b) U.S. GAAP Bureau revenue consists of $46.0 million of Recurring services revenue and $0.6 million of Professional services and other revenue for the three months ended
September 30, 2018, compared to $59.7 million of Recurring services revenue and $0.8 million of Professional services and other revenue for the three months ended September 30,
2017.
Total revenue increased $16.1 million, or 9.8%, to $179.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $163.5 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2017. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in Cloud revenue of $30.0 million, or 29.1%, from $103.0 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2017, to $133.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The Cloud revenue increase was driven by an increase
of $25.3 million, or 29.5%, in Cloud recurring services revenue, and $4.7 million, or 27.5%, in Cloud professional services and other revenue. The increase in
Cloud recurring services revenue of $25.3 million was due to $15.2 million from new customers, add-ons, and revenue uplift from migrations of Bureau customers,
net of customer losses; $5.6 million from the migration of Bureau customers; and $4.5 million from increased float revenue related to Cloud recurring services
revenue. The increase in Cloud revenue of $30.0 million was partially offset by a decline in Bureau revenue of $13.9 million, or 23.0%. Excluding the impact of
migrations to Dayforce, Bureau revenue declined by $8.3 million, or 13.7%.
On a constant currency basis, total revenue grew 11.4%, reflecting a 31.2% increase in Cloud revenue, partially offset by a 22.2% decline in Bureau
revenue. Cloud revenue growth reflected a 31.8% increase in Cloud recurring services revenue and a 28.2% increase in Cloud professional services and other
revenue.
Cloud revenue by solution. The following table presents our Cloud revenue for both recurring and professional services and other, for both our Dayforce and
Powerpay solutions for the periods presented.

PowerPay 21.3 20.7 2.9% 8.0%
Total Cloud revenue $ 133.0 $ 103.0 29.1% 31.2%
Cloud revenue was $133.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, an increase of $30.0 million, or 29.1%, compared to Cloud revenue for
the three months ended September 30, 2017. Dayforce revenue increased 35.7%, and Powerpay revenue increased 2.9% for the three months ended September 30,
2018, as compared to revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2017. On a constant currency basis, Dayforce revenue increased 36.8%, and Powerpay
revenue increased 8.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Customer migrations to Dayforce from our Bureau solutions accounted for $5.6 million, or
19%, of the total increase in Cloud revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2018, as compared to $6.7 million, or 25%, of total Cloud revenue for the
three months ended September 30, 2017.
33
Float revenue. Investment income from invested customer trust fun ds included in revenue was $15.8 million and $11.6 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2018 and 2017 , respectively. The average float balance for our customer trust funds for the three months ended September 30, 2018 , was $ 2,965.9
million, compared to $ 2,942.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 . The average yield was 2.11 % during the three months ended
September 30, 2018, an increase of 5 5 basis points compared to the average yield in the three months ended September 30, 2017 . For the three months ended
September 30, 2018 , approximately 40% of our average float balance consisted of Canadian customer trust funds, compared to approximately 41 % for the three
months ended September 30, 2017. Based on current market conditions, portfolio composition and investment practices, a 100 basis point increase in market
investment rates would result in approximately $1 7 m illion of increased float revenue over the ensuing twelve month period.
Cost of revenue. Total cost of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2018, was $104.6 million, an increase of $2.4 million, or 2.3%, compared
to the three months ended September 30, 2017.
Recurring services cost of revenue increased by $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the three months ended
September 30, 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 $2.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the three
months ended September 30, 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.
In accordance with ASC 350, we are required to capitalize certain software development costs. Please refer to Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies,” for further discussion of our accounting policy for internally developed software costs. 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 are presented as product development and management expense. The increase in
product development and management expense of $3.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the three months ended September 30,
2017, reflected increases in Dayforce product development efforts. For the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, our investment in software
development was $14.4 million and $11.5 million, respectively, consisting of $7.5 million and $4.4 million, of research and development expense, which is
included within product development and management expense, and $6.9 million and $7.1 million in capitalized software development, respectively.
Depreciation and amortization expense associated with cost of revenue increased by $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared
to the three months ended September 30, 2017, as we continue to capitalize Dayforce related and other development costs and subsequently amortize those costs.
The table below presents total gross margin and solution gross margins for the periods presented:
Total gross margin is defined as total gross profit as a percentage of total revenue, inclusive of product development and management costs as well as depreciation and
amortization associated with cost of revenue. Gross margin for each solution in the table above is defined as total revenue less cost of revenue for the applicable solution as a
percentage of total revenue for that related solution, exclusive of any product development and management or depreciation and amortization cost allocations.
34
The overall 9.8% increase in revenue outpaced the 2.3% increase in cost of revenue, and gross profit increased by $13.7 million, or 22.3% , as we continued
to leverage our investment in people and processes to realize economies of scale.
Cloud recurring services gross margin was 68.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to 63.4% for the three months ended
September 30, 2017. The increase in Cloud recurring services gross margin reflects an increase in the proportion of Dayforce customers live for more than two
years, which increased from 57% as of September 30, 2017 to 62% as of September 30, 2018, and was also attributable to consistent configuration that enabled us
to realize economies of scale in customer support and hosting costs. Professional services and other gross margin was (45.1)% for the three months ended
September 30, 2018, improving from (94.4)% for the three months ended September 30, 2017, reflecting an increase in profitable post go-live professional services
and productivity improvements in implementing new customers.
Selling, general, and administrative expense. Selling, general, and administrative expense increased $7.0 million for the three months ended September 30,
2018, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017, reflecting increases in sales and marketing expense, and increased costs associated with being a
public company.
Other expense, net. For the three months ended September 30, 2018 we incurred $0.3 of other expense, net compared to $3.8 for the three months ended
September 30, 2017. The other expense, net for the three months ended September 30, 2017, was primarily related to a foreign currency remeasurement loss on an
intercompany payable of a U.S. subsidiary denominated in Canadian dollars. This intercompany payable was repaid in the second quarter of 2018.
Operating profit. Operating profit increased $10.2 million, to $15.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $5.1 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2017.
Interest expense. Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2018, was $8.8 million, compared to $21.9 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2017. This reduction is due to the extinguishment of the Senior Notes during the second quarter of 2018. A 100 basis point increase in LIBOR rates
would result in an approximately $7 million increase in our interest expense over the ensuing twelve-month period. Please refer to Note 8, “Debt,” for additional
information.
Income tax expense. For the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, we realized an income tax benefit of $0.9 million and an income tax
expense of $0.9 million, respectively. The $1.8 reduction in tax expense was primarily due to a tax benefit of $2.4 million from U.S. operations, which was
partially offset by an increase in tax expense from foreign operations of $0.7 million.
Loss from discontinued operations. As a result of the LifeWorks Disposition, the financial results of the LifeWorks business have been included within
discontinued operations for all periods presented. For the three months ended September 30, 2018, and 2017 the loss from discontinued operations was $3.0 million
and $2.9 million, respectively, primarily related to income tax expense attributable to LifeWorks.
Net income (loss) attributable to Ceridian. Net income attributable to Ceridian was $4.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared
to a net loss of $20.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017.
Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA increased by $8.0 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the three months ended
September 30, 2017, and Adjusted EBITDA margin increased to 20.3% in 2018 from 17.4% in 2017.

(b) U.S. GAAP Bureau revenue consists of $157.9 million of Recurring services revenue and $2.2 million of Professional services and other revenue for the nine months ended
September 30, 2018, compared to $197.4 million of Recurring services revenue and $3.0 million of Professional services and other revenue for the nine months ended September 30,
2017.
Total revenue increased $57.7 million, or 11.8%, to $546.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $488.4 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2017. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in Cloud revenue of $98.0 million, or 34.0%, from $288.0 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2017, to $386.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The Cloud revenue increase was driven by an increase of
$82.1 million, or 34.1%, in Cloud recurring services revenue, and $15.9 million, or 33.7%, in Cloud professional services and other revenue. The increase in Cloud
recurring services revenue of $82.1 million was due to $49.2 million from new customers, add-ons, and revenue uplift from migrations of Bureau customers, net of
customer losses; $17.8 million from the migration of Bureau customers; and $15.1 million from increased float revenue related to Cloud recurring services revenue.
The increase in Cloud revenue of $98.0 million was partially offset by a decline in Bureau revenue of $40.3 million, or 20.1%. Excluding the impact of migrations
to Dayforce, Bureau revenue declined by $22.5 million, or 11.2%.
On a constant currency basis, total revenue grew 11.3%, reflecting a 33.3% increase in Cloud revenue, partially offset by a 20.4% decline in Bureau
revenue. Cloud revenue growth reflected a 33.6% increase in Cloud recurring services revenue and a 31.7% increase in Cloud professional services and other
revenue.

Cloud revenue was $386.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, an increase of $98.0 million, or 34.0%, compared to cloud revenue for
the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Dayforce revenue increased 40.2%, and Powerpay revenue increased 10.4% for the nine months ended September 30,
2018, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017. On a constant currency basis, Dayforce revenue increased 39.7%, and Powerpay revenue increased
8.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Customer migrations to Dayforce from our Bureau
solutions accounted for $17.8 million, or 18%, of the total increase in Cloud revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, as compared to $21.2 million,
or 27%, of total Cloud revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Float revenue. Investment income from invested customer trust fun ds included in r evenue was $49.6 million and $ 34.2 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2018 , and 2017 , respectively. The average float balance for our customer trust funds for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 , was $3, 457.
5 million , compared to $3,309.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 . The average yield was 1. 92 % during the nine months ended
September 30, 2018 , an increase of 53 basis points compared to the average yield in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 . For the nine month s ended
September 30, 2018, approximately 37 % of our average float balance consisted of Canadian customer trust funds, compared to approximately 36 % for the nine
months ended September 30, 2017. Based on current market conditions, portfolio composition a nd investment practices, a 100 basis point increase in market
investment rates would result in approximately $1 7 million of increased float revenue over the ensuing twelve month period.
Cost of revenue. Total cost of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, was $317.0 million, an increase of $13.4 million, or 4.4%, compared
to the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
Recurring services cost of revenue increased by $3.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the nine months ended
September 30, 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 $4.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the nine
months ended September 30, 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.
In accordance with ASC 350, we are required to capitalize certain software development costs. Please refer to Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies,” for further discussion of our accounting policy for internally developed software costs. 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 are presented as product development and management expense. The increase in
product development and management expense of $11.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the nine months ended September 30,
2017, reflected increases in Dayforce product development efforts. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, our investment in software
development was $40.9 million and $32.7 million, respectively, consisting of $21.5 million and $13.7 million, of research and development expense, which is
included within product development and management expense, and $19.4 million and $19.0 million in capitalized software development, respectively.
Depreciation and amortization expense associated with cost of revenue increased by $2.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared
to the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as we continue to capitalize Dayforce related and other development costs and subsequently amortize those costs.
The table below presents total gross margin and solution gross margins for the periods presented:
Total gross margin is defined as total gross profit as a percentage of total revenue, inclusive of product development and management costs as well as depreciation and
amortization associated with cost of revenue. Gross margin for each solution in the table above is defined as total revenue less cost of revenue for the applicable solution as a
percentage of total revenue for that related solution, exclusive of any product development and management or depreciation and amortization cost allocations.
The overall 11.8% increase in revenue outpaced the 4.4% increase in cost of revenue, and gross profit increased by $44.3 million, or 24.0%, as we continued
to leverage our investment in people and processes to realize economies of scale.
38
Cloud recurring s ervices gross margin was 68.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 , compared to 62.4% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2017 . The increase in Cloud recurring services gross margin reflects an increase in the proportion of Dayforce customers live for more than two
years, which increased from 57% as of September 30, 2017 to 6 2 % as of September 30, 2018 , and was also attributable to consistent configuration that enabled us
to realize economies of scale in customer support and hosting costs. Prof essional services and other gross margin was (51.1)% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2018 , improving from (104.8)% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , reflecting an increase in profitable post go-live professional
services and productivit y improvements in implementing new customers.
Selling, general, and administrative expense. Selling, general, and administrative expense increased $39.3 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2018, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Of the total $39.3 million increase, $23.2 million was attributable to expenses associated with our
IPO and debt refinancing, including $11.3 million in sponsor management termination fees, $6.0 million in IPO-related share-based compensation expense,
$3.7 million in other IPO transaction costs, and $2.2 million in restructuring consulting expenses. Excluding IPO-related items, selling, general, and administrative
expense increased $16.1 million, primarily due to sales and marketing expense, employee benefit related costs, and increased costs associated with being a public
company.
Other (income) expense, net. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we generated $2.5 million of other income, net, compared to $6.9 million of
other expense, net, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The other income and expense, net, for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017,
respectively, were primarily related to remeasurement gains and losses on intercompany receivables or payables denominated in foreign currencies.
Operating profit. Operating profit increased $14.4 million, to $31.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, from $16.9 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2017. Excluding the impact of IPO-related expenses, operating profit would have been $54.5 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2018.
Interest expense. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, was $74.4 million, compared to $65.3 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2017. This increase was primarily due to the refinancing of our debt, which resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $25.7 million, partially
offset by a reduction in interest expense of $17.6 million upon extinguishment of the Senior Notes in April 2018, which represented four fewer months of interest
on the Senior Notes as compared to the prior year. A 100 basis point increase in LIBOR rates would result in an approximately $7 million increase in our interest
expense over the ensuing twelve-month period. Please refer to Note 8, “Debt,” for additional information.
Income tax expense. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, we incurred income tax expense of $5.8 million and $3.8 million,
respectively. The $2.0 million increase in tax expense was primarily due to the transitional impact of the 2017 U.S. Tax Reform legislation.
Loss from discontinued operations. As a result of the LifeWorks Disposition, the financial results of the LifeWorks business have been included within
discontinued operations for all periods presented. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, loss from discontinued operations was $14.8 million, compared
to $2.4 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The loss from discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, is primarily related to
income tax expense incurred as a result of the LifeWorks Disposition.
Net loss attributable to Ceridian. Net loss attributable to Ceridian was $63.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to
$54.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, primarily due to $51.0 million of expenses incurred related to our IPO and debt refinancing
transactions, partially offset by an increase in gross profit. Please refer to the “Recent Developments” section above for additional information on the financial
statement impacts of our IPO and debt refinancing transactions.
Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA increased by $31.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the nine months ended
September 30, 2017, and Adjusted EBITDA margin increased to 20.8% in 2018 from 16.8% in 2017.
39
Our primary liquidity needs are related to funding of general business requirements, including the payment of interest and principal on our debt, working
capital, c apital expenditures, pension contributions, and product development.
Concurrently with the closing of the IPO and the concurrent private placement on April 30, 2018, we applied a portion of the net proceeds of the IPO and
the concurrent private placement to satisfy and to discharge the indenture governing our outstanding $475.0 million principal amount Senior Notes, and they were
redeemed on May 30, 2018. We also refinanced our remaining debt 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.
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 approximately 46% 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 approximately 54% 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.
We believe that our cash flow from operations, 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 debt, 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 debt 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.
Changes in cash flows due to purchases of customer trust fund marketable securities, proceeds from the sale or maturity of customer trust fund marketable
securities, and the net increase (decrease) of restricted cash held to satisfy customer trust fund obligations are primarily due to the timing of funds collected from
customers and payments made to satisfy customer obligations. Customer trust fund cash flows are significantly affected by the period end day of the week relative
to customer payment cycles. The customer trust funds are fully segregated from our operating cash accounts and are evaluated and tracked separately by
management. Therefore, to provide meaningful information to the readers, the following discussion excludes customer trust funds.
40
Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities from continuing operations of $14.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, was primarily
attributable to a net loss from continuing operations of $48.9 million and a net reduction in cash as a result of changes in working capital of $46.0 million, partially
offset by certain non-cash items, primarily $42.4 million of depreciation and amortization, a $25.7 million loss on extinguishment of debt -- primarily attributable
to a call premium and debt issuance costs -- and $18.0 million of non-cash share-based compensation expense. The net $46.0 million change in working capital
included reductions of $27.7 million in liabilities for employee compensation and benefits, primarily due to payments of accrued incentive compensation and
pension contributions, and reductions of $15.5 million in liabilities for accrued interest, associated with our debt refinancing. Included within net cash flows used in
operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, was $64.4 million in cash interest payments on our long-term debt, $18.5 million in pension
payments, and $17.7 million in cash taxes.
Net cash used in operating activities from continuing operations of $59.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, was primarily
attributable to a net reduction in cash as a result of changes in working capital of $56.6 million and a net loss from continuing operations of $52.2 million, partially
offset by certain non-cash items, primarily $39.7 million of depreciation and amortization and $12.8 million of share-based compensation expense. The net $56.6
million change in working capital included reductions of $33.4 million in liabilities for employee compensation and benefits, primarily due to payments of accrued
incentive compensation and pension contributions, reductions of $17.5 million in liabilities for accrued interest, and reductions of $10.3 million in liabilities for
accrued taxes.
Investing Activities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, net cash used in investing activities from continuing operations, excluding customer trust fund activity,
was $28.7 million, related to capital expenditures. Our capital expenditures included $21.9 million for software and technology and $6.8 million for property and
equipment.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, net cash used in investing activities from continuing operations, excluding customer trust fund activity,
was $31.2 million, primarily related to capital expenditures, partially offset by net proceeds from divestitures of $0.9 million. Our capital expenditures included
$22.5 million for software and technology and $9.6 million for property and equipment.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities from continuing operations, excluding the change in customer trust fund obligations, was $141.6 million during
the nine months ended September 30, 2018. This cash inflow is primarily attributable to the net proceeds received from our IPO and concurrent private placement
of $595.0 million, a net increase in the principal of our term loan of $23.0 million, and proceeds from the issuance of common stock upon exercise of stock options
of $22.2 million, partially offset by payment to redeem our Senior Notes of $475.0 million and payment of debt refinancing costs of $23.3 million.
Net cash provided in financing activities from continuing operations, excluding the change in customer trust fund obligations, was $50.7 million during the
nine months ended September 30, 2017, primarily related to the funding of the remaining $75.2 million from the issuance of our senior convertible preferred stock
and a $25.9 million payment made on the 2014 Term Debt.
41
Non-GAA P Measures
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, non-U.S. GAAP financial measures, are useful to management and investors as
supplemental measures to evaluate our overall operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA and 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 Adjusted EBITDA as
net income or loss before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, as adjusted to exclude net income or loss from discontinued operations, 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, share-based compensation expense, severance charges, restructuring consulting fees, transaction costs, and environmental reserve charges.
Adjusted EBITDA margin is determined by calculating the percentage Adjusted EBITDA is of Total Revenue. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA and
Adjusted EBITDA margin are helpful in highlighting management performance trends because Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin exclude the
results of decisions that are outside the control of operating management.
Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are intended as supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by, or
presented in accordance with, U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin should not be considered as alternatives to operating profit (loss), net
income (loss), earnings per share, or any other performance measures derived in accordance with U.S. 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 U.S. GAAP, are not measures of net income, operating income, or any other
performance measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and are subject to important limitations. Our use of the terms Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted
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 U.S. 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 U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
• Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin do not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual
commitments;
• Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
• Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin do not reflect any charges for the assets being depreciated and amortized that may need to be
replaced in the future;
• Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin do not reflect the impact of share-based compensation upon our results of operations;
• Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin do not reflect the significant interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest
or principal payments on our debt; and
• Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin do not reflect our income tax expense or the cash requirements to pay our income taxes.
In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses similar to those eliminated in
this presentation.

Forward-Looking Statements
The foregoing Management’s Discussion 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 (“Exchange Act”). 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 expressions are intended to identify such
forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that are
difficult to predict. Our actual results could differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements due to risks and uncertainties associated with
fluctuations in our quarterly operating results, concentration of our product offerings, development risks involved with new products and technologies, competition,
our contractual relationships with third parties, contract renewals with business partners, compliance by our customers with the terms of their contracts with us, and
other factors disclosed in our filings with the SEC. Other factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in this Form 10-Q
and the Prospectus, including the risk factors set forth in “Risk Factors” 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 debt. These risks and
uncertainties should be considered in evaluating any forward-looking statements contained herein.
45
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITAT IVE 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. 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, we collect funds for payment of payroll and taxes; temporarily
hold such funds in trust 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 agency securities, as well as highly rated asset-backed,
mortgage-backed, municipal, and corporate securities. Our Canadian customer trust funds are invested in securities issued by the government and provinces of
Canada, highly rated Canadian banks and corporations, asset-backed trusts, and mortgages.
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.
We do not believe that an increase or decrease 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.
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, we contributed $23.0 million to our pension plan. The effective discount rate used in
accounting for pension and other benefit obligations in 2017 ranged from 3.01% to 3.25%. The expected rate of return on plan assets for qualified pension benefits
in 2018 is 6.30%.
46
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 disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13(a)-15(e) of the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly
Report on 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 as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are effective at a reasonable
assurance level in ensuring 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, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect 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 Rule 12b-2 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 on Form 10-K for the year ending
December 31, 2019 if certain triggers requiring accelerated filing deadlines 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 Form 10-K for the first year we are no longer an
“emerging growth company”. 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.
47
PART II. OTHE R INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
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.

EXECUTIVE
As an employee of Ceridian HCM, Inc. or one of its affiliates ( collectively “Ceridian ”), you will be in a position of trust and confidence,
and will have access to and become familiar with Confidential Information (as that term is defined in the Employment Agreement to which
this Appendix is attached) used by or in possession of Ceridian. The unauthorized disclosure to or unauthorized use by third parties of any
Confidential Information, or your unauthorized use of such information, could seriously harm Ceridian’s business and cause monetary loss
that would be difficult, if not impossible, to measure.
Ceridian is sensitive to the necessity of maintaining the confidentiality of Confidential Information. Ceridian recognizes both the inherent
right to privacy of every individual and its obligation to preserve the confidentiality of Confidential Information kept in its files. Ceridian is
also aware of the concerns about individual privacy and perceived possible abuses of Confidential Information kept in automated data banks
and other forms. Ceridian has, therefore, established privacy guidelines to ensure the protection, to the best of Ceridian’s ability, of all
Confidential Information in its possession, in whatever form it is kept, whether it be an automated data bank, manual (or paper) file,
microfiche or any other form. Accordingly, all Confidential Information in the possession of Ceridian, whether from clients or from
Ceridian’s own employees or contractors, must be handled and protected in accordance with the following principles:
1. The independent consideration which you shall be entitled to receive in consideration of agreeing to the terms of this document, shall
consist of employment by Ceridian in accordance with Ceridian’s written offer of employment. You acknowledge that the foregoing
independent consideration consists of real, bargained-for benefits to which you would have no entitlement but for your agreement to be
bound by the terms set forth in this document. You further acknowledge that you were not entitled to receive the foregoing independent
consideration prior to agreeing to the terms of this document. The terms of this document shall and do form an integral part of the terms
of your employment with Ceridian, and shall be considered incorporated into the terms of your offer of employment and / or
employment agreement with Ceridian.
2. You acknowledge Ceridian’s representation that it has taken and intends to take reasonable measures to preserve the secrecy of its
Confidential Information, including, but not limited to, requiring you to agree to the terms of this document, as a condition of and part of
the terms of your employment with Ceridian. You will hold all Confidential Information in the strictest confidence, and will not directly
or indirectly copy, reproduce, disclose or divulge, or permit access to or use of, or obtain any benefit from, the Confidential Information
or directly or indirectly use the Confidential Information other than as (a) as reasonably required to perform your duties as an employee
of Ceridian, or (b) in the reasonable conduct of the business and your role within the business. For greater certainty, you shall not use
the Confidential Information directly or indirectly in any business other than the business of Ceridian, without the prior written consent
of Ceridian. Confidential Information is the exclusive property of Ceridian or its Clients (as the case may be), and you will not divulge
any Confidential Information to any person except to Ceridian’s qualified employees or advisers or other third parties with whom
Ceridian has confidential business relations, and you will not, at any time, use Confidential Information for any purpose whatsoever,
except as required to perform your duties as an employee of Ceridian or in the reasonable conduct of the business or your role within the
business. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you acknowledge and agree that Confidential Information received from a
Client is to be used only for the purposes intended by the Client when entering into an agreement with Ceridian, and will not be used for
any other purpose. Confidential Information will only be kept for the limited period of time necessary for Ceridian to fulfil its
obligations. Regardless of the reason for termination of your employment (and whether or not you or Ceridian terminate the
employment relationship): (a) you will not after the term of your employment, disclose Confidential Information which you may learn
or acquire during your employment to any other person or entity or use any Confidential Information for your own benefit or for the
benefit of another; and (b) you will immediately deliver to Ceridian all property and Confidential Information in your possession or
control which belong to Ceridian.
3. You acknowledge that your breach of the terms of this document may cause irreparable harm to Ceridian and that such harm may not be
compensable entirely with monetary damages. If you violate the terms of this document, Ceridian may seek injunctive relief or any
other remedy allowed at law, in equity, or under the terms of this agreement. In connection with any suit by Ceridian hereunder,
Ceridian shall be entitled to an accounting, and to the repayment of all profits, compensation, commissions, fees or other remuneration
which you have realized, as a result of the violation of the terms of this agreement which is the subject of the suit. In addition to the
foregoing, Ceridian shall be entitled to collect from you any reasonable attorney’s fees and costs incurred by Ceridian in bringing any
successful action against you or in otherwise successfully enforcing the terms hereof against you. You acknowledge and agree that
nothing herein shall affect Ceridian’s rights to bring an action in a court of law for any legal claim against any third party who aids you
in violating the terms of this agreement or who benefits in any way from your violation hereof.
4. You understand and agree that the terms of this document shall apply no matter when, how or why your employment terminates and
regardless whether the termination is voluntary or involuntary, and that the terms shall survive the termination of your employment.
5. If any one or more of the terms of this document are deemed to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of law, the validity, enforceability
and legality of the remaining provisions will not, in any way, be affected by or impaired thereby; and, notwithstanding the foregoing, all
provisions hereof shall be enforced to the extent that is reasonable.
6. Ceridian’s decision to refrain from enforcing a breach of any term of this document will not prevent Ceridian from enforcing the terms
hereof as to any other breach that Ceridian discovers and shall not operate as a waiver against any future enforcement of any part of this
document, any other agreement with you or any other agreement with any other employee of Ceridian.
7. You hereby represent and agree with Ceridian that: (a) you are not bound or restricted by a non-competition agreement, a confidentiality
or non-disclosure agreement, or any other agreement with a former employer or other third party, which would conflict with the terms of
this offer; and (b) you will not use any trade secrets or other intellectual property belonging to any third party while performing services
for Ceridian; and (c) you are of legal age, under no legal disability, have full legal authority to enter into this agreement and have had a
reasonable and adequate opportunity to consult with independent counsel regarding the effect of this document, the sufficiency of the
independent consideration provided to you, and the reasonableness of the restrictions set forth herein.
Ceridian employs a Privacy Officer who is charged with ensuring that Ceridian complies with all privacy-related obligations imposed by
statute or contract. Any questions regarding the collection, use, access, disclosure, retention or destruction of Confidential Information should
be directed to the Privacy Officer.
Adherence to the guidelines set out above is a requirement for continued employment with Ceridian. Material breaches of these guidelines
may result in discipline up to and including dismissal, or in the case of contractors, cancellation of your contract with Ceridian.
APPENDIX B
In consideration of Ceridian HCM, Inc. or one of its affiliates ( collectively “Ceridian ”) offering me employment, I hereby expressly
acknowledge and agree as follows:
1.0 All Ceridian developments which I may solely or jointly author, conceive, or develop, or reduce to practice, or cause to be authored,

such documents and do such things as Ceridian may reasonably require from time to time to assign to Ceridian all right, title, and

execute any and all applications or assignments relating to intellectual property including patents, copyrights, industrial designs and

and agents as my agent and attorney in fact, to act for and in my behalf and stead to execute and file any such applications and to do all
other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution and issuance of letters patent, copyright, designs or trademarks thereon with the
same legal force and effect as if executed by me.
3.0 At the time of leaving the employ of Ceridian I will deliver to Ceridian, and will not keep in my possession, nor deliver to anyone else,
any and all information in any tangible form and all copies, partial copies, notes, summaries, records, descriptions, drawings, reports and
other documents, data or materials of or relating to the Ceridian Developments or which contain or make reference to the Ceridian
Developments, in my possession or control.
4.0 I hereby waive for the benefit of Ceridian and, where legally possible, assign to Ceridian any moral rights I have, or may in the future
have, in any Ceridian Developments.

heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.

(d) for a period of up to 6 months following the date of Executive’s termination, or until Executive is no longer

payment obligations, and the payment obligations of his covered family members (as long as they are qualified
beneficiaries at the time of his termination and remain qualified beneficiaries in accordance with the terms and conditions
of the benefit plan).
4.03 Termination by Executive upon Written Notice. Executive may terminate this Agreement and his or her
employment at any time and for any reason on at least 90 days' prior written notice to Ceridian HCM, or such shorter period of notice

without being required to pay Executive any severance payment in lieu or other compensation in respect of such notice period.

4.0 4 Termination i n t he Event of Death or Disability . This Agreement and Executive ’s employment shall terminate in
the event of death or Disability of Executive , in which case the following will apply:
(a) In the event of Executive’s Disability, Base Salary shall be terminated as of the end of such period that
Executive is unable to perform his or her duties on a full-time basis and that establishes that Executive suffers from a
Disability pursuant to the Disability Plan;
(b) In the event of termination by reason of Executive’s death or Disability, and subject to Sections 4.06 and 4.07,
Ceridian HCM shall pay to Executive a prorated portion of the Incentive Plan compensation (at target level), if any, to
which Executive would otherwise have become entitled for the fiscal year in which his or her death or Disability occurs
had Executive remained continuously employed for the full fiscal year, calculated by multiplying such Incentive Plan
compensation by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the applicable fiscal year through the date of
termination and the denominator or which is 365. The amount payable pursuant to this Section 4.04(b) shall be paid within
15 days after the date such Incentive Plan would have otherwise been paid had Executive remained employed for the full
fiscal year; i.e. the payout date for all other Ceridian employees and executives.
4.05 Termination for Good Reason . Executive may terminate his employment with Ceridian for Good Reason (in
accordance with the notice requirements set forth herein) and receive the compensation set out in Section 4.02.
4.06 Entire Termination Payment. The compensation provided for in this ARTICLE 4 for termination of this Agreement
and Executive’s employment pursuant to Sections 4.02, 4.03 or 4.04 shall constitute Executive's sole remedy for such termination.
Executive shall not be entitled to any other notice of termination, or termination or severance payment which otherwise may be
payable to Executive under common law, case law, statute, in equity or other agreement between Executive and Ceridian HCM, and
he or she shall have no action, cause of action, claim or demand against Ceridian HCM, Ceridian HCM or any other Ceridian
Affiliate or any other Person as a consequence of such termination. It shall be a condition of the payment of the compensation
provided for in this ARTICLE 4 that Executive shall timely execute a general release of claims in a form reasonably satisfactory to
Ceridian and not revoke the release in the time provided to do so. Ceridian HCM shall provide Executive with a form of release not
later than five days following the Executive’s termination of employment and Executive must execute and deliver the release within
21 days following the date Ceridian HCM delivers the release to the Executive or such other period as established by applicable law.
4.07 Return of Records upon Termination. Upon termination of Executive’s employment with Ceridian HCM for any
reason whatsoever, all documents, records, notebooks, and similar repositories of, or containing, trade secrets or intellectual property

by Executive or others, will be promptly returned to or left with Ceridian.
Page 9
4 .08 Code Section 409A . It is the parties’ intention that payments under this ARTICLE 4 will be exempt from the
requirements of Section 409A of the Code (“ Section 409A ”) because they are short term deferrals under Treas. Reg. Sec. 1.409A-
1(b)(4) or payments under a separation pay plan within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Sec. 1.409A-1(b)(9) and the Agreement shall be
construed and administered in a manner consistent with such intent. If any payment is or becomes subject to the requirements of
Section 409A, the Agreement, as it relates to such payment, is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A. Further,
any payments that are subject to the requirements of Section 409A may be accelerated or delayed only if and to the extent otherwise
permitted under Section 409A. All payments to be made under the Agreement upon a termination of employment may only be made
upon a “separation of service” as defined under Section 409A and any “separation from service” shall be treated as a termination of
employment. If the provision of a benefit or a payment is determined to be subject to Section 409A, then, if Executive is a “specified
employee” within the meaning of the Treasury Regulations issued pursuant to Section 409A as of Executive’s date of termination, no
amount that constitutes a deferral of compensation that is payable on account of the Executive’s separation from service shall be paid
to Executive before the date that is the first day of the seventh month after Executive’s date of termination or, if earlier, the date of
Executive’s death (the “ delayed payment date ”). All such withheld amounts will be accumulated and paid, without interest, on the
delayed payment date.

Agreement and Executive’s employment. Should any provisions of this ARTICLE 7 be held invalid or illegal, such illegality shall

accordingly. In furtherance of and not in limitation of the foregoing, Executive expressly agrees that should the duration of or
geographical extent of, or business activities covered by, any provision of this ARTICLE 7 be in excess of that which is valid or

EXECUTIVE
Address:
As an employee of Ceridian HCM, Inc. or one of its affiliates ( collectively “Ceridian ”), you will be in a position of trust and confidence,
and will have access to and become familiar with Confidential Information (as that term is defined in the Employment Agreement to which
this Appendix is attached) used by or in possession of Ceridian. The unauthorized disclosure to or unauthorized use by third parties of any
Confidential Information, or your unauthorized use of such information, could seriously harm Ceridian’s business and cause monetary loss
that would be difficult, if not impossible, to measure.
Ceridian is sensitive to the necessity of maintaining the confidentiality of Confidential Information. Ceridian recognizes both the inherent
right to privacy of every individual and its obligation to preserve the confidentiality of Confidential Information kept in its files. Ceridian is
also aware of the concerns about individual privacy and perceived possible abuses of Confidential Information kept in automated data banks
and other forms. Ceridian has, therefore, established privacy guidelines to ensure the protection, to the best of Ceridian’s ability, of all
Confidential Information in its possession, in whatever form it is kept, whether it be an automated data bank, manual (or paper) file,
microfiche or any other form. Accordingly, all Confidential Information in the possession of Ceridian, whether from clients or from
Ceridian’s own employees or contractors, must be handled and protected in accordance with the following principles:
1. The independent consideration which you shall be entitled to receive in consideration of agreeing to the terms of this document, shall
consist of employment by Ceridian in accordance with Ceridian’s written offer of employment. You acknowledge that the foregoing
independent consideration consists of real, bargained-for benefits to which you would have no entitlement but for your agreement to be
bound by the terms set forth in this document. You further acknowledge that you were not entitled to receive the foregoing independent
consideration prior to agreeing to the terms of this document. The terms of this document shall and do form an integral part of the terms
of your employment with Ceridian, and shall be considered incorporated into the terms of your offer of employment and / or
employment agreement with Ceridian.
2. You acknowledge Ceridian’s representation that it has taken and intends to take reasonable measures to preserve the secrecy of its
Confidential Information, including, but not limited to, requiring you to agree to the terms of this document, as a condition of and part of
the terms of your employment with Ceridian. You will hold all Confidential Information in the strictest confidence, and will not directly
or indirectly copy, reproduce, disclose or divulge, or permit access to or use of, or obtain any benefit from, the Confidential Information
or directly or indirectly use the Confidential Information other than as (a) as reasonably required to perform your duties as an employee
of Ceridian, or (b) in the reasonable conduct of the business and your role within the business. For greater certainty, you shall not use
the Confidential Information directly or indirectly in any business other than the business of Ceridian, without the prior written consent
of Ceridian. Confidential Information is the exclusive property of Ceridian or its Clients (as the case may be), and you will not divulge
any Confidential Information to any person except to Ceridian’s qualified employees or advisers or other third parties with whom
Ceridian has confidential business relations, and you will not, at any time, use Confidential Information for any purpose whatsoever,
except as required to perform your duties as an employee of Ceridian or in the reasonable conduct of the business or your role within the
business. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you acknowledge and agree that Confidential Information received from a
Client is to be used only for the purposes intended by the Client when entering into an agreement with Ceridian, and will not be used for
any other purpose. Confidential Information will only be kept for the limited period of time necessary for Ceridian to fulfil its
obligations. Regardless of the reason for termination of your employment (and whether or not you or Ceridian terminate the
employment relationship): (a) you will not after the term of your employment, disclose Confidential Information which you may learn or
acquire during your employment to any other person or entity or use any Confidential Information for your own benefit or for the
benefit of another; and (b) you will immediately deliver to Ceridian all property and Confidential Information in your possession or
control which belong to Ceridian.
3. You acknowledge that your breach of the terms of this document may cause irreparable harm to Ceridian and that such harm may not be
compensable entirely with monetary damages. If you violate the terms of this document, Ceridian may seek injunctive relief or any other
remedy allowed at law, in equity, or under the terms of this agreement. In connection with any suit by Ceridian hereunder, Ceridian shall
be entitled to an accounting, and to the repayment of all profits, compensation, commissions, fees or other remuneration which you have
realized, as a result of the violation of the terms of this agreement which is the subject of the suit. In addition to the foregoing, Ceridian
shall be entitled to collect from you any reasonable attorney’s fees and costs incurred by Ceridian in bringing any successful action
against you or in otherwise successfully enforcing the terms hereof against you. You acknowledge and agree that nothing herein shall
affect Ceridian’s rights to bring an action in a court of law for any legal claim against any third party who aids you in violating the terms
of this agreement or who benefits in any way from your violation hereof.
4. You understand and agree that the terms of this document shall apply no matter when, how or why your employment terminates and
regardless whether the termination is voluntary or involuntary, and that the terms shall survive the termination of your employment.
5. If any one or more of the terms of this document are deemed to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of law, the validity, enforceability
and legality of the remaining provisions will not, in any way, be affected by or impaired thereby; and, notwithstanding the foregoing, all
provisions hereof shall be enforced to the extent that is reasonable.
6. Ceridian’s decision to refrain from enforcing a breach of any term of this document will not prevent Ceridian from enforcing the terms
hereof as to any other breach that Ceridian discovers and shall not operate as a waiver against any future enforcement of any part of this
document, any other agreement with you or any other agreement with any other employee of Ceridian.
7. You hereby represent and agree with Ceridian that: (a) you are not bound or restricted by a non-competition agreement, a confidentiality
or non-disclosure agreement, or any other agreement with a former employer or other third party, which would conflict with the terms of
this offer; and (b) you will not use any trade secrets or other intellectual property belonging to any third party while performing services
for Ceridian; and (c) you are of legal age, under no legal disability, have full legal authority to enter into this agreement and have had a
reasonable and adequate opportunity to consult with independent counsel regarding the effect of this document, the sufficiency of the
independent consideration provided to you, and the reasonableness of the restrictions set forth herein.
Ceridian employs a Privacy Officer who is charged with ensuring that Ceridian complies with all privacy-related obligations imposed by
statute or contract. Any questions regarding the collection, use, access, disclosure, retention or destruction of Confidential Information should
be directed to the Privacy Officer.
Adherence to the guidelines set out above is a requirement for continued employment with Ceridian. Material breaches of these guidelines
may result in discipline up to and including dismissal, or in the case of contractors, cancellation of your contract with Ceridian.
APPENDIX B
In consideration of Ceridian HCM, Inc. or one of its affiliates ( collectively “Ceridian ”) offering me employment, I hereby expressly
acknowledge and agree as follows:
1.0 All Ceridian developments which I may solely or jointly author, conceive, or develop, or reduce to practice, or cause to be
authored, conceived, or developed, or reduced to practice, during the term of my employment with Ceridian (collectively “ Developments ”)

documents and do such things as Ceridian may reasonably require from time to time to assign to Ceridian all right, title, and interest in and to
all Ceridian Developments, and agree, at Ceridian’s expense, during the term of my employment and thereafter, to execute any and all
applications or assignments relating to intellectual property including patents, copyrights, industrial designs and trademarks, and to execute
any proper oath or verify any proper document in connection with carrying out the terms of this agreement.
2.0 In the event Ceridian is unable for any reason whatsoever to secure my signature to any lawful and necessary documents relating
to paragraph 1 hereof and to apply for, or to prosecute, any applications for letters patent, copyright, designs or trademarks (foreign or
domestic) in respect to the Ceridian Developments, I hereby irrevocably designate and appoint Ceridian and its duly authorized officers and
agents as my agent and attorney in fact, to act for and in my behalf and stead to execute and file any such applications and to do all other
lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution and issuance of letters patent, copyright, designs or trademarks thereon with the same legal
force and effect as if executed by me.
3.0 At the time of leaving the employ of Ceridian I will deliver to Ceridian, and will not keep in my possession, nor deliver to anyone
else, any and all information in any tangible form and all copies, partial copies, notes, summaries, records, descriptions, drawings, reports and
other documents, data or materials of or relating to the Ceridian Developments or which contain or make reference to the Ceridian
Developments, in my possession or control.
4.0 I hereby waive for the benefit of Ceridian and, where legally possible, assign to Ceridian any moral rights I have, or may in the
future have, in any Ceridian Developments.
5.0 This agreement shall extend to and endure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of Ceridian and shall be binding upon me
and my heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.

termination of his employment, including but not limited to (i) any amounts under Ceridian’s incentive or bonus programs for periods
completed prior to or following the Separation Date, (ii) any amounts under the Employment Agreement, and (iii) any amounts owing or

employment with Ceridian.
