Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(Tabular dollars in millions, except per share amounts or where otherwise stated)

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes thereto of Automatic Data Processing, Inc., its subsidiaries and variable interest entity (“ADP” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes thereto are unaudited. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, that are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s interim financial results.

The Company has a grantor trust, which holds the majority of the funds provided by its clients pending remittance to employees of those clients, tax authorities, and other payees. The Company is the sole beneficial owner of the trust. The trust meets the criteria in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, “Consolidation” to be characterized as a variable interest entity (“VIE”). The Company has determined that it has a controlling financial interest in the trust because it has both (1) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the trust (including the power to make all investment decisions for the trust) and (2) the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the trust (in the form of investment returns) and, therefore, consolidates the trust. Further information on these funds and the Company’s obligations to remit to its clients’ employees, tax authorities, and other payees is provided in Note 7, “Corporate Investments and Funds Held for Clients.”

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and other comprehensive income that are reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes thereto. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Interim financial results are not necessarily indicative of financial results for a full year. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 (“fiscal 2025”). Certain amounts from the prior year's financial statements have been reclassified in order to conform to the current year's presentation.

Contract Balances

The timing of revenue recognition for our HCM, HRO and Global Solutions is consistent with the invoicing of clients, as invoicing occurs in the period the services are provided. Therefore, the Company does not recognize a contract asset or liability resulting from the timing of revenue recognition and invoicing.

Changes in deferred revenues related to set up fees for the nine months ended March 31, 2026 were as follows:

Contract Liability
Contract liability, July 1, 2025	$	520.2
Recognition of revenue included in beginning of year contract liability	(72107.70)
Contract liability, net of revenue recognized on contracts during the period	66108.19
Currency translation adjustments	1.0
Contract liability, December 31, 2025	$	514.6
Contract liability, March 31, 2026	$	523.1

Note 4. Acquisition

In October 2024, the Company acquired WorkForce Software, a premier workforce management solutions provider that specializes in supporting large, global enterprises, utilizing cash on hand. The results of WorkForce Software are reported within the Company’s Employer Services segment. Pro forma information has not been presented because the effect of the acquisition is not material to the Company's consolidated financial results.

The following table reconciles the purchase price to the cash paid for the acquisition, net of cash acquired:


Purchase price	$	1,170.8
Less: cash acquired	(12.5)
Cash paid for acquisition of business, net of cash acquired	$	1,158.3

The acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. The Company recognized assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair value as of the date of acquisition, with the excess recorded to goodwill. The purchase price allocation for WorkForce Software is as follows:


Cash	$	12.5
Accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts	20.0
Identifiable intangible assets (1)	292.0
Goodwill	885.8
Deferred income taxes, net of valuation allowance	45.9
All other assets	14.8
Total assets acquired	$	1,271.0

Deferred revenue	$	39.6

All other liabilities	60.6
Total liabilities assumed	$	100.2
Total net assets acquired	$	1,170.8

(1) Intangible assets are recorded at estimated fair value, as determined by management based on available information which includes an estimated valuation by an independent third party. The fair values assigned to identifiable intangible assets were determined through the use of the income approach, specifically the relief from royalty and the multi-period excess earnings methods. The major assumptions used in arriving at the estimated identifiable intangible asset values included management’s estimates of future cash flows, discounted at an appropriate rate of return which are based on the weighted average cost of capital for both the Company and other market participants, projected customer attrition rates, as well as applicable royalty rates for comparable assets. The useful lives for intangible assets were determined based upon the remaining useful economic lives of the intangible assets that are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to the future cash flows. The estimated fair value of intangible assets and related useful lives as included in the purchase price allocation include:


	Estimated Fair Value		Estimated Useful Life (in years)
Technology	$	115.0	7
Customer/Partner relationships	$	170.0	8
Tradename	$	7.0	4

The goodwill recorded as a result of the WorkForce Software transaction represents future economic benefits the Company expects to achieve as a result of the acquisition, including expected synergies along with the value of the assembled workforce. None of the goodwill resulting from the acquisition is tax deductible.

Shares that could potentially dilute basic EPS in the future include outstanding share-based compensation awards, which are discussed in Note 12. For the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2025~~2026, there were 0.6 million ~~and 0.4 million~~ shares excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS, ~~respectively,~~ because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. For the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2024~~2025, there were no shares excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS.

Note 8. Leases

The Company records leases on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets, records the current portion of operating lease liabilities within accrued expenses and other current liabilities and, separately, records long-term operating lease liabilities. The difference between total ROU assets and total lease liabilities is primarily attributable to prepayments of our obligations and the recognition of various lease incentives.

The Company has entered into operating lease agreements for facilities and equipment. The Company's leases have remaining lease terms of up to approximately eleven years.

The components of operating lease expense were as follows:

	Three Months Ended				~~Six~~Nine Months Ended

Note 10. Short-term Financing

The Company has a $4.6 billion, 364-day credit agreement that matures in June 2026 with a one year term-out option. The Company also has a $3.5 billion, five year credit facility that matures in June 2029 that contains an accordion feature under which the aggregate commitment can be increased by $500 million, subject to the availability of additional commitments. In addition, the Company also has a $2.5 billion five year credit facility maturing in June 2030 that contains an accordion feature under which the aggregate commitment can be increased by $500 million, subject to the availability of additional commitments. The interest rate applicable to committed borrowings is tied to SOFR, the effective federal funds rate, or the prime rate depending on the notification provided by the Company to the syndicated financial institutions prior to borrowing. The Company is also required to pay facility fees on the credit agreements. The primary uses of the credit facilities are to provide liquidity to the commercial paper program and funding for general corporate purposes, if necessary. The Company had no borrowings through ~~December~~March 31, ~~2025~~2026 under the credit agreements.

The Company's U.S. short-term funding requirements related to client funds are sometimes obtained on an unsecured basis through the issuance of commercial paper, rather than liquidating previously-collected client funds that have already been invested in available-for-sale securities. This commercial paper program provides for the issuance of up to $10.6 billion in aggregate maturity value. The Company’s commercial paper program is rated A-1+ by Standard & Poor’s, Prime-1 (“P-1”) by Moody’s and F1+ by Fitch. These ratings denote the highest quality commercial paper securities. Maturities of commercial paper can range from overnight to up to 364 days. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had no commercial paper outstanding. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had $4.8 billion of commercial paper outstanding, which was repaid in early July 2025. Details of the borrowings under the commercial paper program are as follows:

	Three Months Ended						~~Six~~Nine Months Ended
	December 31,						December 31,
	March 31,						March 31,
	2025			2024			2025			2024

Average daily borrowings (in billions)	$	43.48		$	43.53		$	4.52		$	4.72
Weighted average interest rates	43.07		%	4.84		%	4.21		%	54.19		%
Weighted average maturity (approximately in days)	2 days			2 days			2 days			2 days

The Company’s U.S., Canadian and United Kingdom short-term funding requirements related to client funds obligations are sometimes obtained on a secured basis through the use of reverse repurchase agreements, which are collateralized principally by government and government agency securities, rather than liquidating previously-collected client funds that have already been invested in available-for-sale securities. These agreements generally have terms ranging from overnight to up to five business days. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had no outstanding obligations related to reverse repurchase agreements. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had $38.4 million of outstanding obligations related to reverse repurchase agreements. The Company has $7.5 billion available on a committed basis under the U.S. reverse repurchase agreements. Details of the reverse repurchase agreements are as follows:

	Three Months Ended						~~Six~~Nine Months Ended

Note 11. Debt

The Company issued four series of fixed-rate notes with staggered maturities of 7 and 10 years at the time of issuance totaling $4.0 billion (collectively the “Notes”). The Notes are senior unsecured obligations, and interest is payable in arrears, semi-annually.

The effective interest rates for the Notes include the interest on the Notes and amortization of the discount and debt issuance costs.

As of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2025~~2026, the fair value of the Notes, based on Level 2 inputs, was $3,~~860~~821.78 million. For a description of the fair value hierarchy and the Company's fair value methodologies, including the use of an independent third-party pricing service, see Note 1 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2025.

Note 12. Employee Benefit Plans

A. Stock-based Compensation Plans

The Company's share-based compensation plan consists of stock options, time-based restricted stock, time-based restricted stock units, performance-based restricted stock, and performance-based restricted stock units. The Company also offers an employee stock purchase plan for eligible employees. Beginning in September 2022, the Company discontinued granting stock options, time-based restricted stock and performance-based restricted stock. Any such future awards granted September 2022 and after will be grants of time-based restricted stock units and/or performance-based restricted stock units, depending on employee eligibility. Time-based restricted stock unit awards and performance-based restricted stock unit awards granted to employees with a home country of the United States are settled in stock, and awards granted to employees with a home country outside the United States are generally settled in cash.

The Company currently utilizes treasury stock to satisfy stock option exercises, issuances under the Company's employee stock purchase plan, and restricted stock awards. From time to time, the Company may repurchase shares of its common stock under its authorized share repurchase program. The Company repurchased 12.96 million and 01.90 million shares in the three months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2025~~2026 and ~~2024~~2025, respectively, and repurchased 35.27 million and 23.4 million shares in the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2025~~2026 and ~~2024~~2025, respectively. The Company considers several factors in determining when to execute share repurchases, including, among other things, actual and potential acquisition activity, cash balances and cash flows, issuances due to employee benefit plan activity, and market conditions.

The following table represents pre-tax stock-based compensation expense for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2025~~2026 and ~~2024~~2025, respectively:

	Three Months Ended				~~Six~~Nine Months Ended

Net pension (income)/expense	$	(3.9)	$	(45.90)		$	(711.76)	$	(914.8)

Note 13. Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the three months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2025~~2026 and ~~2024~~2025 was 23.27% and 23.60%, respectively. The ~~decrease~~increase in the effective tax rate is primarily due to ~~lower~~an ~~reserves~~increase ~~for~~in uncertain tax positions and a ~~benefit for adjustments to prior year tax liabilities partially offset by a~~ lower excess tax benefit on stock-based compensation in the three months ended ~~December~~March 31, 2026 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025.

The effective tax rate for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2025~~2026 and ~~2024~~2025 was 2223.92% and 23.1%, respectively. The ~~decrease~~increase in the effective tax rate is primarily due to a lower ~~reserves~~excess ~~for~~tax ~~uncertain~~benefit ~~tax~~on ~~positions~~stock-based ~~partially~~compensation offset by ~~the~~a ~~cost~~decrease ofin anuncertain ~~intercompany~~tax ~~transfer~~positions offor ~~certain~~the ~~assets~~nine ~~and~~months aended ~~lower~~March 31, ~~excess~~2026 ~~tax~~as ~~benefit~~compared onto ~~stock-based compensation in~~ the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~December~~ March 31, 2025.

Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies

As of ~~December~~ March 31, ~~2025~~2026, the Company has purchase commitments of approximately $2,~~332~~226.5 8 million, including obligations related to software license agreements, third-party software services and purchase and maintenance agreements on our software, equipment, and other assets, of which $~~194~~67.8 9 million relates to the ~~six~~three months ending June 30, 2026, $1,~~032~~042.7 million relates to the years ending June 30, 2027 through 2028, $~~987~~998.0 1 million relates to the years ending June 30, 2029 through 2031, and the remaining relates to fiscal years thereafter.

In May 2020, a putative class action complaint was filed against ADP, TotalSource and related defendants in the U.S. District Court, District of New Jersey. The complaint asserts violations of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) in connection with the ADP TotalSource Retirement Savings Plan’s fiduciary administrative and investment decision-making. The complaint seeks ~~statutory and other~~ unspecified monetary ~~damages~~relief, injunctive relief and attorney’s fees. The Company is unable to estimate any reasonably possible loss, or range of loss, with respect to this matter. The Company is vigorously defending against this lawsuit.

The Company is subject to various claims, litigation, and regulatory compliance matters in the normal course of business. When a loss is considered probable and reasonably estimable, the Company records a liability in the amount of its best estimate for the ultimate loss. Management currently believes that the resolution of these claims, litigation and regulatory compliance matters against us, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. These matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management's view of these matters may change in the future.

It is not the Company’s business practice to enter into off-balance sheet arrangements. In the normal course of business, the Company may enter into contracts in which it makes representations and warranties that relate to the performance of the Company’s services and products. The Company does not expect any material losses related to such representations and warranties.

Note 17. Interim Financial Data by Segment

Based upon similar economic and operational characteristics, the Company’s strategic business units have been aggregated into the following two reportable segments: Employer Services and PEO Services. Certain revenues and expenses are charged to the reportable segments at a standard rate for management reasons. Other costs are recorded based on management responsibility.

The Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") is the Chief Executive Officer. For each reportable segment, the CODM uses earnings before income taxes, including plan-to-actual and forecast-to-actual results, to assess segment performance and allocate resources (including personnel and capital resources) amongst its strategic business units. The CODM does not review assets at the reportable segment level, hence segment disclosure relating to total assets has not been provided.

The following tables present the Company's revenues, significant segment expenses, and earnings before income taxes by reportable segment:

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This document and other written or oral statements made from time to time by Automatic Data Processing, Inc., its subsidiaries and variable interest entity (“ADP” or the “Company”) may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements that are not historical in nature and which may be identified by the use of words like “outlook,” “expects,” “assumes,” “projects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “we believe,” “could,” “is designed to” and other words of similar meaning, are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on management’s expectations and assumptions and depend upon or refer to future events or conditions and are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements or that could contribute to such difference include: ADP's success in obtaining and retaining clients, and selling additional services to clients; the pricing of products and services; the success of our new solutions; our ability to respond successfully to changes in technology, including artificial intelligence; compliance with existing or new legislation or regulations; changes in, or interpretations of, existing legislation or regulations; overall market, political and economic conditions, including interest rate and foreign currency trends and inflation; competitive conditions; our ability to maintain our current credit ratings and the impact on our funding costs and profitability; security or cyber breaches including as a result of artificial intelligence, fraudulent acts, and system interruptions and failures; employment and wage levels; availability of skilled associates; the impact of new acquisitions and divestitures; the impact of any uncertainties related to major natural disasters or catastrophic events; and supply-chain disruptions. ADP disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law. These risks and uncertainties, along with the risk factors discussed under “Item 1A. - Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 (“fiscal 2025”), and in other written or oral statements made from time to time by ADP, should be considered in evaluating any forward-looking statements contained herein.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In addition to our U.S. GAAP results, we use adjusted results and other non-GAAP metrics to evaluate our operating performance in the absence of certain items and for planning and forecasting of future periods. Adjusted EBIT, adjusted EBIT margin, adjusted net earnings, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted effective tax rate and organic constant currency are all non-GAAP financial measures. Please refer to the accompanying financial tables in the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section for a discussion of why ADP believes these measures are important and for a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to their nearest comparable GAAP financial measures.

Our pays per control metric, which represents the number of employees on ADP clients' payrolls in the United States when measured on a same-store-sales basis for a subset of Employer Services clients ranging from small to large businesses, grew 1% for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2025~~2026 as compared to the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2024~~2025.

PEO Services' margin decreased for the three months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2025~~2026, due to increased selling and marketing expenses, increased operating costs related to state unemployment insurance, a decrease in the pre-tax benefit from ADP Indemnity, and increases in zero-margin benefits pass-through costs, partially offset by increased revenues discussed above.

PEO Services' margin decreased for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2025~~2026, due to increased selling and marketing expenses, ~~and~~increases in zero-margin ~~benefits~~benefit pass- through costs, ~~and~~ increased operating costs related to state unemployment insurance, and a decrease in the pre-tax benefit from ADP Indemnity, partially offset by increased revenues discussed above.

ADP Indemnity provides workers’ compensation and employer's liability deductible reimbursement insurance protection for PEO Services’ worksite employees up to $1 million per occurrence. PEO Services has secured a workers’ compensation and employer’s liability insurance policy that caps the exposure for each claim at $1 million per occurrence and has also secured aggregate stop loss insurance that caps aggregate losses at a certain level in fiscal years 2012 and prior from an admitted and licensed insurance company of AIG. We utilize historical loss experience and actuarial judgment to determine the estimated claim liability, and changes in estimated ultimate incurred losses are included in the PEO segment.

Additionally, starting in fiscal year 2013, ADP Indemnity paid premiums to enter into reinsurance arrangements with ACE American Insurance Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Chubb Limited (“Chubb”), to cover substantially all losses incurred by the Company up to the $1 million per occurrence related to the workers’ compensation and employer's liability deductible reimbursement insurance protection for PEO Services' worksite employees. Each of these reinsurance arrangements limits our overall exposure incurred up to a certain limit. The Company believes the likelihood of ultimate losses exceeding this limit is remote. ADP Indemnity recorded a pre-tax ~~(loss)/~~benefit of approximately $(2.7)4 million and $14.94 million for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2025~~2026, respectively, as compared to approximately $(05.8)6 million and $49.17 million for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2024~~2025, respectively, which were primarily the results of less favorable actuarial loss development in workers’ compensation reserves. ADP Indemnity paid a premium of $278 million in July 2025, to enter into a reinsurance agreement with Chubb to cover substantially all losses incurred by ADP Indemnity for fiscal 2026 policy year on terms substantially similar to the fiscal 2025 reinsurance policy.

Other

The primary components of “Other” are certain corporate overhead charges and expenses that have not been allocated to the reportable segments, including corporate functions, legal settlements, company-wide severance ~~costs~~initiatives, non-recurring gains and losses, the elimination of intercompany transactions, and all other interest income and expense.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our GAAP results, we use the adjusted results and other non-GAAP metrics set forth in the table below to evaluate our operating performance in the absence of certain items and for planning and forecasting of future periods:


Adjusted Financial Measure			U.S. GAAP Measures
Adjusted EBIT			Net earnings
Adjusted provision for income taxes			Provision for income taxes
Adjusted net earnings			Net earnings

Adjusted diluted earnings per share			Diluted earnings per share
Adjusted effective tax rate			Effective tax rate

Organic constant currency			Revenues

We believe that the exclusion of the identified items helps us reflect the fundamentals of our underlying business model and analyze results against our expectations and against prior periods, and to plan for future periods by focusing on our underlying operations. We believe that the adjusted results provide relevant and useful information for investors because it allows investors to view performance in a manner similar to the method used by management and improves their ability to understand and assess our operating performance. The nature of these exclusions is for specific items that are not fundamental to our underlying business operations. Since these adjusted financial measures and other non-GAAP metrics are not measures of performance calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, they should not be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to their corresponding U.S. GAAP measures, and they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures at other companies.

(a) In adjusted EBIT, we include the interest income earned on investments associated with our client funds extended investment strategy and interest expense on borrowings related to our client funds extended investment strategy as we believe these amounts to be fundamental to the underlying operations of our business model. The adjustments in the table above represent the interest income and interest expense that are not related to our client funds extended investment strategy and are labeled as “All other interest expense” and “All other interest income.”

(b) Represents a partial reversal of the workforce optimization initiative from fiscal 2024. Severance charges/(reversals) have been taken in the past and not included as an adjustment to get to adjusted results. Unlike severance charges/(reversals) in prior periods, this specific reversal relates to a broad-based, company-wide initiative.

(c) Represents (gains)/losses on investments made through our Corporate Venture Capital arm, ADP Ventures. (Gains)/losses on these investments may result from observable price changes, changes in ownership interest, accrued interest income, and impairment charges. These adjustments may be highly variable, are predominantly non-cash, are outside our control, and are not fundamental to the underlying operations of our business model.

(d) In the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2024~~2025, this represents a reversal of a legal reserve recorded during the year ended June 30, 2023.

(e) The income tax provision was calculated based on the annualized marginal rate in effect during the quarter of the adjustment.

(f) The adjusted effective tax rate is calculated as our adjusted provision for income taxes divided by the sum of our adjusted net earnings plus our adjusted provision for income taxes.

The following table reconciles our reported growth rates to the non-GAAP measure of organic constant currency, which excludes the impact of acquisitions, the impact of dispositions, and the impact of foreign currency. The impact of acquisitions and dispositions is calculated by excluding the current year revenues of acquisitions until the one-year anniversary of the transaction and by excluding the prior year revenues of divestitures for the one-year period preceding the transaction. The impact of foreign currency is determined by calculating the current year results using foreign exchange rates consistent with the prior year. The PEO segment is not impacted by acquisitions, dispositions or foreign currency.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2025~~2026, cash and cash equivalents were $23.42 billion, which were primarily invested in time deposits and money market funds.

For corporate liquidity, we expect existing cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities, cash flow from operations together with our $10.6 billion of committed credit facilities and our ability to access both long-term and short-term debt financing from the capital markets will be adequate to meet our operating, investing, and financing activities, such as regular quarterly dividends, share repurchases, and capital expenditures for the foreseeable future. Our financial condition remains solid at ~~December~~March 31, ~~2025~~2026 and we have sufficient liquidity.

For client funds liquidity, we have the ability to borrow through our financing arrangements under our U.S. short-term commercial paper program and our U.S., Canadian and United Kingdom short-term reverse repurchase agreements ($7.5 billion of which is available on a committed basis in the U.S. as of June 30, 2025), together with our $10.6 billion of committed credit facilities and our ability to use corporate liquidity when necessary to meet short-term funding requirements related to client funds obligations. Please see “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” for a further discussion of the risks related to our client funds extended investment strategy. See Note 10 of our Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of our short-term financing including commercial paper.

Operating, Investing and Financing Cash Flows

Net cash flows used in investing activities changed primarily due to timing of net proceeds and purchases of corporate and client funds marketable securities of $~~749~~1,359.37 million, offset by a net decrease in acquisitions of businesses, primarily related to the Workforce Software acquisition, with a cash disbursement of $1,~~160~~165.61 million during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2024~~2025.

Net cash flows provided by/(used in) financing activities changed primarily due to a net increase in the cash flow from client funds obligations of $2714,~~182~~896.78 million, which is due to the timing of impounds from our clients and payments to our clients' employees and other payees, partially offset by net payments of $4,769.5 million related to borrowings under the commercial paper program and a decrease in the net proceeds from the issuance of debt.

We purchased approximately 35.27 million shares of our common stock at an average price per share of $~~280~~257.0901 during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2025~~2026, as compared to purchases of 23.4 million shares at an average price per share of $~~274~~283.4214 during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2024~~2025. From time to time, the Company may repurchase shares of its common stock under its authorized share repurchase program. The Company considers several factors in determining when to execute share repurchases, including, among other things, actual and potential acquisition activity, cash balances and cash flows, issuances due to employee benefit plan activity, and market conditions.

Capital Resources and Client Funds Obligations

We have $4.0 billion of senior unsecured notes with maturity dates in 2028, 2030, 2032, and 2034. We may from time to time revisit the long-term debt market to refinance existing debt, finance investments including acquisitions for our growth, and maintain the appropriate capital structure. However, there can be no assurance that volatility in the global capital and credit markets would not impair our ability to access these markets on terms acceptable to us, or at all. See Note 11 of our Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of our senior unsecured notes.

Our U.S. short-term funding requirements related to client funds are sometimes obtained on an unsecured basis through the issuance of commercial paper, rather than liquidating previously-collected client funds that have already been invested in available-for-sale securities. This commercial paper program provides for the issuance of up to $10.6 billion in aggregate maturity value. Our commercial paper program is rated A-1+ by Standard and Poor’s, Prime-1 (“P-1”) by Moody’s and F1+ by Fitch. These ratings denote the highest quality commercial paper securities. Maturities of commercial paper can range from overnight to up to 364 days. As of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2025~~2026, the Company had no commercial paper outstanding. As of June 30, 2025

the Company had $4.8 billion of commercial paper outstanding, which was repaid in early July 2025. Details of the borrowings under the commercial paper program are as follows:

	Three Months Ended						~~Six~~Nine Months Ended
	December 31,						December 31,
	March 31,						March 31,
	2025			2024			2025			2024

Weighted average interest rates	43.07		%	4.84		%	4.21		%	54.19		%
Weighted average maturity (approximately in days)	2 days			2 days			2 days			2 days

Our U.S., Canadian, and United Kingdom short-term funding requirements related to client funds obligations are sometimes obtained on a secured basis through the use of reverse repurchase agreements, which are collateralized principally by government and government agency securities, rather than liquidating previously-collected client funds that have already been invested in available-for-sale securities. These agreements generally have terms ranging from overnight to up to five business days. We have successfully borrowed through the use of reverse repurchase agreements on an as-needed basis to meet short-term funding requirements related to client funds obligations. As of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2025~~2026, we had $7.5 billion available to us on a committed basis under the U.S. reverse repurchase agreements. As of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2025~~2026, ~~and~~the Company had no outstanding obligations related to reverse repurchase agreements. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had $~~45.8 million and $~~38.4 million of outstanding obligations related to reverse repurchase agreements~~, respectively~~. Details of the reverse repurchase agreements are as follows:

	Three Months Ended						~~Six~~Nine Months Ended
	December 31,						December 31,
	March 31,						March 31,
	2025			2024			2025			2024
	2026			2025			2026			2025
Average outstanding balances (in billions)	$	41.31		$	30.79		$	43.43		$	32.78
Weighted average interest rates	43.18		%	4.81		%	4.32		%	54.09		%

We vary the maturities of our committed credit facilities to limit the refinancing risk of any one facility. We have a $4.6 billion, 364-day credit agreement that matures in June 2026 with a one-year term-out option. In addition, we have a five-year $3.5 billion credit facility and a five-year $2.5 billion credit facility maturing in June 2029 and June 2030, respectively, each with an accordion feature under which the aggregate commitment can be increased by $500 million, subject to the availability of additional commitments. The primary uses of the credit facilities are to provide liquidity to the commercial paper program and funding for general corporate purposes, if necessary. We had no borrowings through ~~December~~March 31, ~~2025~~2026 under the credit facilities. We believe that we currently meet all conditions set forth in the revolving credit agreements to borrow thereunder, and we are not aware of any conditions that would prevent us from borrowing part or all of the $10.6 billion available to us under the revolving credit agreements. See Note 10 of our Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of our short-term financing including credit facilities.

Our investment portfolio does not contain any asset-backed securities with underlying collateral of sub-prime mortgages, alternative-A mortgages, sub-prime auto loans or sub-prime home equity loans, collateralized debt obligations, collateralized loan obligations, credit default swaps, derivatives, auction rate securities, structured investment vehicles or non-investment grade fixed-income securities. We own AAA-rated senior tranches of primarily fixed rate auto loan, credit card, and device payment plan agreement receivables, secured predominantly by prime collateral. All collateral on asset-backed securities is performing as expected through ~~December~~March 31, ~~2025~~2026. In addition, we own U.S. government securities which primarily include debt directly issued by Federal Farm Credit Banks and Federal Home Loan Banks. Our client funds investment strategy is structured to allow us to average our way through an interest rate cycle by laddering the maturities of our investments out to five years (in the case of the extended portfolio) and out to ten years (in the case of the long portfolio). This investment strategy is supported by our short-term financing arrangements necessary to satisfy short-term funding requirements relating to client funds obligations. See Note 7 of our Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of our corporate investments and funds held for clients.

Capital expenditures for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2025~~2026 were $73124.26 million, as compared to $98139.29 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2024~~2025. We expect capital expenditures in fiscal 2026 to be between $~~225~~160.0 million and $~~250~~180.0 million, as compared to $176.8 million in fiscal 2025.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our overall investment portfolio is comprised of corporate investments (cash and cash equivalents, and marketable securities) and client funds assets (funds that have been collected from clients but have not yet been remitted to the applicable tax authorities, client employees or other payees).

Our corporate investments are invested in cash and cash equivalents and highly liquid, investment-grade marketable securities. These assets are available for our regular quarterly dividends, share repurchases, capital expenditures and/or acquisitions, as well as other corporate operating purposes. All of our fixed-income securities are classified as available-for-sale securities.

Our client funds assets are invested with safety of principal, liquidity, and diversification as the primary objectives. Consistent with those objectives, we also seek to maximize interest income and to minimize the volatility of interest income. Client funds assets are invested in highly liquid, investment-grade marketable securities, with a maximum maturity of 10 years at the time of purchase, and money market securities and other cash equivalents.

We utilize a strategy by which we extend the maturities of our investment portfolio for funds held for clients and employ short-term financing arrangements to satisfy our short-term funding requirements related to client funds obligations. Our client funds investment strategy is structured to allow us to average our way through an interest rate cycle by laddering the maturities of our investments out to five years (in the case of the extended portfolio) and out to ten years (in the case of the long portfolio). As part of our client funds investment strategy, we use the daily collection of funds from our clients to satisfy other unrelated client funds obligations, rather than liquidating previously-collected client funds that have already been invested in available-for-sale securities. In circumstances where we experience a reduction in employment levels due to a slowdown in the economy, we may make tactical decisions to sell certain securities or not reinvest maturing securities in order to reduce the size of the funds held for clients to correspond to client funds obligations. We attempt to minimize the risk of not having funds collected from a client available at the time such client’s obligation becomes due by generally impounding the client's funds by the time we pay such client’s obligation. When we don't impound client funds in advance of paying such client obligations, we are at risk of not recovering such funds or material delay in such recovery. Through our client funds investment strategy and client impounding processes, we have consistently maintained the required level of liquidity to satisfy all of our obligations.

There are inherent risks and uncertainties involving our investment strategy relating to our client funds assets. Such risks include liquidity risk, including the risk associated with our ability to liquidate, if necessary, our available-for-sale securities in a timely manner in order to satisfy our client funds obligations. However, our investments are made with the safety of principal, liquidity, and diversification as the primary goals to minimize the risk of not having sufficient funds to satisfy all of our client funds obligations. We also believe we have significantly reduced the risk of not having sufficient funds to satisfy our client funds obligations by consistently maintaining access to other sources of liquidity, including our corporate cash balances, available borrowings under our $10.6 billion commercial paper program (rated A-1+ by Standard and Poor’s, P-1 by Moody’s, and F1+ by Fitch, the highest possible short-term credit ratings), our ability to engage in reverse repurchase agreement transactions ($7.5 billion of which is available on a committed basis in the U.S. as of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2025~~2026) and available borrowings under our $10.6 billion committed credit facilities. The reduced availability of financing during periods of economic turmoil, even to borrowers with the highest credit ratings, may limit our ability to access short-term debt markets to meet the liquidity needs of our business. In addition to liquidity risk, our investments are subject to interest rate risk and credit risk, as discussed below.

We have established credit quality, maturity, and exposure limits for our investments. The minimum allowed credit rating at time of purchase for corporate, Canadian government agency and Canadian provincial bonds is BBB, for asset-backed securities is AAA, and for municipal bonds is A. The maximum maturity at time of purchase for BBB-rated securities is 5 years, and for single A rated, AA-rated and AAA-rated securities it is 10 years. Time deposits and commercial paper must be rated A-1 and/or P-1. Money market funds must be rated AAA/Aaa-mf.

We are exposed to interest rate risk in relation to securities that mature, as the proceeds from maturing securities are reinvested. Factors that influence the earnings impact of interest rate changes include, among others, the amount of invested funds and the overall portfolio mix between short-term and long-term investments. This mix varies during the fiscal year and is impacted by daily interest rate changes. The annualized interest rate earned on our entire portfolio increased from 3.2% for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2024~~2025 to 3.34% for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2025~~2026. A hypothetical change in both short-term interest rates (e.g., overnight interest rates or the federal funds rate) and intermediate-term interest rates of 25 basis points applied to the estimated average investment balances and any related short-term borrowings would result in approximately a $2320.0 million impact to earnings before income taxes over the ensuing twelve-month period ending ~~December~~March 31, ~~2026~~2027. A hypothetical change in only short-term interest rates of 25 basis points applied to the estimated average short-term investment balances and any related short-term borrowings would result in approximately an $8.0 million impact to earnings before income taxes over the ensuing twelve-month period ending ~~December~~March 31, ~~2026~~2027.

We are exposed to credit risk in connection with our available-for-sale securities through the possible inability of the borrowers to meet the terms of the securities. We limit credit risk by investing in investment-grade securities, primarily AAA-rated and AA- rated securities, as rated by Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s, DBRS for Canadian dollar denominated securities, and Fitch for asset-backed and commercial-mortgage-backed securities. In addition, we limit amounts that can be invested in any security other than U.S. government and government agency, Canadian government, and United Kingdom government securities.

We operate and transact business in various foreign jurisdictions and are therefore exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates that could impact our consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. We manage our exposure to these market risks through our regular operating and financing activities and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. We may use derivative financial instruments as risk management tools and not for trading purposes.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and other comprehensive income. We continually evaluate the accounting policies and estimates used to prepare the Consolidated Financial Statements. Refer to Note 2 of our Consolidated Financial Statements for changes to our accounting policies effective for fiscal 2026.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The information called for by this item is provided under the caption “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” under Item 2 – Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “evaluation”). Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on the evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2025~~2026 in ensuring that (i) information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and (ii) such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms.

There was no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2025~~2026 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Except as noted below, all other items are either inapplicable or would result in negative responses and, therefore, have been omitted.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to various claims and litigation. While the outcome of any litigation is inherently unpredictable, the Company believes it has valid defenses with respect to the legal matters pending against it and the Company believes that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse impact on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

With respect to the disclosure of administrative or judicial proceedings arising under any Federal, State, or local provisions regulating the discharge of materials into the environment or that are primarily for the purpose of protecting the environment, the Company has determined that the following threshold is reasonably designed to result in disclosure of any such proceeding that is material to its business or financial condition: any proceeding when the potential monetary sanctions exceed $1 million.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes in our risk factors disclosed in Part 1, Item 1A, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025.
