Automatic Data Processing, Inc.

Segment Information

Employer Services and the Professional Employer Organization ("PEO") Services are ADP's two reportable segments. Certain revenues and expenses are charged to the segments at a standard rate for management reasons. Other costs are recorded based on management responsibility. The primary components of the "Other" segment are certain corporate overhead charges and expenses that have not been allocated to the reportable segments, including corporate functions, costs related to our transformation office, severance costs, non-recurring gains and losses, the elimination of intercompany transactions, and interest expense.

The tables attached show the quarterly segment revenues and earnings before income taxes for fiscal 2019, 2020 and the first quarter of fiscal 2021 as well as the percentage difference between each period indicated and the same respective prior year period. The tables also show the adjustments management considers when evaluating our operating performance in the absence of certain items. Lastly, included are the details of fiscal 2021 results from the client funds extended investment strategy. We believe these 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 us.

The Company made changes to the allocation methodology for certain corporate allocations, in both the current period and the prior period in the tables presented, and did not materially affect reportable segment results. We reflected these changes beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and prior period segment results have been restated for comparability.

  1. Non-GAAPadjustments for each quarterly period include certain interest income and interest expense amounts (primarily included in "Other") and for certain quarterly periods, include additional transactions as detailed further within the footnotes below. This interest expense, interest income, and these additional transactions are excluded from our evaluation of operating performance and for the planning and forecasting of future periods. We believe that the exclusion of these items helps us reflect the fundamentals of our underlying business model and analyze results against our expectations, against prior period, and to plan for future periods by focusing on our underlying operations. We do not include interest income earned on investments associated with our client fund investment strategy and interest expense on borrowings related to our client fund extended investment strategy as Non-GAAP adjustments as we believe these amounts to be fundamental to the underlying operations of our business model.
