Overview
Ceridian is a global human capital management ("HCM") software company. We
categorize our solutions into two categories: Cloud and Bureau solutions. Cloud
revenue is generated from HCM solutions that are delivered via two cloud
offerings: Dayforce, our flagship cloud HCM platform, and Powerpay, a cloud HR
and payroll solution for the Canadian small business market. We also continue to
support customers using our Bureau solutions, which we generally stopped
actively selling to new customers following the acquisition of Dayforce in 2012.
Revenue from our Cloud and Bureau solutions include an allocation of investment
income generated from holding customer funds in trust before funds are remitted
to taxing authorities, also referred to as float revenue or float. We invest in
maintenance and necessary updates to support our Bureau customers and continue
to migrate them to Dayforce.
Dayforce provides 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. Dayforce provides continuous real-time calculations across all
modules to enable, for example, payroll administrators access to data through
the entire pay period, and managers access to real-time data to optimize work
schedules. Our platform is designed to make work life better for our customers
and their employees by improving HCM decision-making processes, streamlining
workflows, exposing 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.
In 2020, we launched the Dayforce Wallet, which gives our customers' employees
greater control over their financial well-being by providing them with instant
access to their earnings. This on-demand pay feature allows employees more
choice over when they get paid by making any day payday. Dayforce Wallet enables
workers to access their already-earned wages anytime during the pay period, net
of taxes, withholdings and other payroll deductions. Leveraging Dayforce's
continuous pay calculations, Dayforce Wallet processes a same-day payroll each
time a worker requests their pay. The solution is compliant with federal, state,
and local remittances and requires no changes to payroll processing including
the funding, timing, and close-out of pay.
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 4,603 live
Dayforce customers as of June 30, 2020 . For the three and six months ended
June 30, 2020 , we added 123 and 240 net new live Dayforce customers,
respectively.
25--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 historically had 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 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 customerswho have been live for two or more years increases, our related profitability increases. 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. COVID-19 Pandemic InMarch 2020 , theWorld Health Organization declared the outbreak of coronavirus (COVID-19) to be a pandemic. The global spread of the COVID-19 pandemic has created significant global volatility, uncertainty, and economic disruption. We have experienced and may continue to experience curtailed customer demand, primarily as a result of declining employment levels at our customers in certain sectors, such as retail and hospitality, as well as lower customer utilization of professional services and customer delays in implementation services, due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, the federal funds rate cuts by theU.S. Federal Reserve and the overnight rate target by theBank of Canada have had and will continue to have negative effects on our float revenue. The broader implications of the pandemic on our results of operations and overall financial performance remain uncertain. Please refer to the Results of Operations section below for further discussion of the financial impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic during the three and six months endedJune 30, 2020 . Please refer to Part II, Item 1A Risk Factors for further discussion of the potential impact of the pandemic on our business.
How We Assess Our Performance
In assessing our performance, we consider a variety of performance indicators in addition to revenue and net income. Set forth below is a description of our key performance measures. Live Dayforce Customers
We use the number of customers live on Dayforce as an indicator of future
revenue and the overall performance of the business and to assess the
performance of our implementation services. We had 4,603 customers live on
Dayforce as of
Constant Currency Revenue We present revenue on a constant currency basis to assess how our underlying business performed, excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations. We believe this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to management and investors. We have calculated revenue on a constant currency basis by applying the average foreign exchange rate in effect during the comparable prior period.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin
We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, non-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 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 and related
employer taxes, severance charges, restructuring consulting fees, and certain
other non-recurring charges. Adjusted EBITDA margin is determined by calculating
the percentage that 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 "Results of Operations" section below
for a discussion of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin.

(a) We have calculated revenue on a constant currency basis by applying the
average foreign exchange rate in effect during the comparable prior period.
Total revenue declined$3.7 million , or 1.9%, to$192.6 million for the three months endedJune 30, 2020 , compared to$196.3 million for the three months endedJune 30, 2019 . This decline was primarily attributable to a decline in Bureau revenue of$15.9 million , or 39.2%. The decline in Bureau revenue was partially offset by an increase in Cloud revenue of$12.2 million , or 7.8%, from$155.7 million for the three months endedJune 30, 2019 , to$167.9 million for the three months endedJune 30, 2020 . The Cloud revenue increase was driven by an increase of$11.4 million , or 9.2%, in Cloud recurring services revenue, and$0.8 million , or 2.5%, in Cloud professional services and other revenue. The increase in Cloud recurring services revenue of$11.4 million was due to$11.4 million from new customers, add-ons, and revenue uplift from migrations of Bureau customers, net of customer losses and$5.8 million from the migration of Bureau customers, partially offset by a$5.8 million decline in float revenue related to Cloud recurring services revenue. 28 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The COVID-19 pandemic has had an adverse impact on our revenue streams during the three months endedJune 30, 2020 , primarily in the form of lower employment levels at our customers, lower float revenue resulting from reductions in theU.S. Federal Reserve federal funds rate and theBank of Canada overnight rate target, lower average float balances for our customer trust funds, lower demand for professional services, and customer delays in implementation services, among other effects. We estimate the impact of lower employment levels at our customers to be an approximately$8 million decline to our revenue for the three months endedJune 30, 2020 , of which approximately$5 million was related to Dayforce and approximately$3 million was related to Powerpay. In addition, we estimate the impact to float revenue to be approximately$7 million for the three months endedJune 30, 2020 . Of the approximately$7 million impact on float revenue, approximately$4 million is calculated based on the rate reductions during the first quarter of 2020, and approximately$3 million is related to lower average float balances for our customer trust funds. Cloud revenue was$167.9 million for the three months endedJune 30, 2020 , an increase of$12.2 million , or 7.8%, compared to the three months endedJune 30, 2019 . Dayforce revenue increased 12.6%, and Powerpay revenue declined 22.6% for the three months endedJune 30, 2020 , as compared to the three months endedJune 30, 2019 . Powerpay is designed primarily for small market Canadian customers, which typically have fewer than 20 employees, and these customers have been more adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic than larger Dayforce customers. Our new business sales to Dayforce and Powerpay customers comprised approximately 53% of our increase in Cloud revenue for the three months endedJune 30, 2020 , and approximately 47% consisted primarily of customer migrations to Dayforce from our Bureau solutions. The percentage of new business sales compared to customer migrations was adversely affected by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our revenues. As we migrate our Bureau customers to Dayforce, we typically experience a revenue increase from such customers, driven by increased product density on the Dayforce platform.
Bureau revenue declined
Excluding float revenue and on a constant currency basis, total revenue grew 3.9%, reflecting a 13.9% increase in Cloud revenue, partially offset by a 35.1% decline in Bureau revenue. Excluding float revenue and on a constant currency basis, Cloud revenue growth reflected a 17.1% increase in Cloud recurring services revenue and a 3.4% increase in Cloud professional services and other revenue. Excluding float revenue and on a constant currency basis, Dayforce revenue increased 18.8%, reflecting a 24.2% increase in Dayforce recurring service revenue and a 3.7% increase in Dayforce professional services and other revenue. Excluding float revenue and on a constant currency basis, Powerpay revenue declined 18.0%, primarily due to a 17.8% decline in Powerpay recurring service revenue. Float revenue included in recurring services revenue was$11.5 million and$20.3 million for the three months endedJune 30, 2020 , and 2019, respectively. Float revenue allocated to Cloud revenue was$10.1 million and$15.9 million , respectively, for the three months endedJune 30, 2020 , and 2019, respectively. The average float balance for our customer trust funds for the three months endedJune 30, 2020 , was$2,976.6 million , compared to$3,392.3 million for the three months endedJune 30, 2019 . On a constant currency basis, the average float balance for our customer trust funds for the three months endedJune 30, 2020 , declined 11.2% compared to the three months endedJune 30, 2019 . This decline was primarily attributable to lower payroll balances and associated tax payments as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic impact to employment levels at our customers. The average yield was 1.55% during the three months endedJune 30, 2020 , a decline of 86 basis points compared to the average yield during the three months endedJune 30, 2019 , primarily due to reductions in theU.S. Federal Reserve federal funds rate and theBank of Canada overnight rate target. For the three months endedJune 30, 2020 , approximately 34% of our average float balance consisted of Canadian customer trust funds, compared to approximately 36% for the three months endedJune 30, 2019 . Based on current market conditions, portfolio composition and investment practices, a 100 basis point change in market investment rates would result in approximately$17 million of change in float revenue over the ensuing twelve month period. There are no incremental costs of revenue associated with changes in float revenue. Cost of revenue. Total cost of revenue for the three months endedJune 30, 2020 , was$114.0 million , an increase of$5.7 million , or 5.3%, compared to the three months endedJune 30, 2019 . Recurring services cost of revenue for the three months endedJune 30, 2020 , increased$0.6 million , or 1.2%, compared with the three months endedJune 30, 2019 , primarily due to additional costs related to global expansion and costs to support the growing Dayforce customer base, partially offset by reductions in Bureau costs. Professional services and other cost of revenue increased$3.7 million , or 10.8%, for the three months endedJune 30, 2020 , compared to the three months endedJune 30, 2019 , primarily due to additional costs incurred to implement new customers. Product development and management expense increased$0.6 million for the three months endedJune 30, 2020 , compared to the three months endedJune 30, 2019 , reflecting increases in product management labor costs. For the three months endedJune 30, 2020 , and 2019, our investment in software development was$17.0 million and$15.6 million , respectively, consisting of$7.6 million and$8.1 million , of research and development expense, which is included within product development and management expense, and$9.4 million and$7.5 million in capitalized software development costs, respectively. 29 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Depreciation and amortization expense associated with cost of revenue increased by$0.8 million for the three months endedJune 30, 2020 , compared to the three months endedJune 30, 2019 , as we continue to capitalize Dayforce related and other development costs and subsequently amortize these costs.
Gross profit. The following table presents total gross margin and solution gross margins for the periods presented:
Three Months Ended June 30,
2020 2019
Total gross margin 40.8 % 44.8 %
Gross margin by solution:
Cloud recurring services 70.7 % 69.3 %
Bureau recurring services 59.4 % 72.9 %
Professional services and other (13.1 )% (4.3 )%
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.
Total gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2020 , declined 4.0%
compared to total gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2019 , and
gross profit declined by $9.4 million , or 10.7%. The $9.4 million decline in
gross profit was primarily attributable to the $8.8 million decline in float
revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2020 , compared to the three months
ended June 30, 2019 .
Cloud recurring services gross margin was 70.7% for the three months ended
June 30, 2020 , compared to 69.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 .
Excluding float revenue, Cloud recurring service gross margin was 68.4% for the
three months ended June 30, 2020 , compared to 64.8% for the three months ended
June 30, 2019 . The increase in Cloud recurring services gross margin, excluding
float revenue, reflects an increase in the proportion of Dayforce customers live
for more than two years, which increased from 67% as of June 30, 2019 , to 72% as
of June 30, 2020 , and was also attributable to consistent configuration that has
enabled us to continue to realize economies of scale in hosting and customer
support. Bureau recurring services gross margin declined from 72.9% for the
three months ended June 30, 2019 , to 59.4% for the three months ended June 30,
2020 , primarily due to lower Bureau recurring revenue, including high margin
float revenue. Professional services and other gross margin was (13.1)% for the
three months ended June 30, 2020 , compared to (4.3)% for the three months ended
June 30, 2019 , reflecting lower utilization during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Selling, general, and administrative expense. Selling, general, and
administrative expense increased $5.3 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2020 , compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019 . Excluding the
impact of share-based compensation and related employer taxes, restructuring
consulting fees, severance expense, and certain other non-recurring charges;
selling, general, and administrative expenses would have been reduced by $3.2
million . This adjusted reduction reflects a reduction of $4.0 million in general
and administrative expense, primarily customer list amortization expense,
partially offset by a $0.8 million increase in sales and marketing expense.
Please refer to the "Non-GAAP Measures" section for additional information on
the excluded items.
Operating profit. We realized operating profit of $4.0 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2020 , compared to $18.7 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2019 . Excluding the impact of share-based compensation and related
employer taxes, restructuring consulting fees, severance expense, and certain
other non-recurring charges; operating profit would have been $26.2 million and
$30.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 , and 2019, respectively.
This $4.5 million adjusted reduction was primarily as a result of the decline in
float revenue.
Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net was $6.6 million and $8.5 million
for the three months ended June 30, 2020 , and 2019, respectively, which was
primarily due to a reduction in our term debt interest rate. A 100 basis point
change in LIBOR rates would result in an approximately $10 million change in our
interest expense, net over the ensuing twelve-month period.
Other expense, net. For the three months ended June 30, 2020 , and 2019, we
incurred other expense, net of $0.3 million and $1.5 million , respectively,
which was comprised of net periodic pension expense, partially offset by foreign
currency translation gain for the three months ended June 30, 2020 . For the
three months ended June 30, 2019 , other expense, net was comprised of net period
pension expense and foreign currency translation loss.
Income tax (benefit) expense. For the three months ended June 30, 2020 , and
2019, we recorded an income tax benefit of $8.4 million , and income tax expense
of $2.4 million , respectively. The $10.8 million reduction in income tax expense
was primarily due to
30
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- reductions in tax expense attributable toU.S. and foreign operations of$2.4 million , state taxes in theU.S. of$1.2 million , share-based compensation of$3.8 million , and base erosion anti-abuse tax ("BEAT") in theU.S. of$3.6 million .
Net income. We realized net income of
Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA declined by$6.5 million to$37.5 million , for the three months endedJune 30, 2020 , compared to the three months endedJune 30, 2019 , and Adjusted EBITDA margin was 19.5% for the three months endedJune 30, 2020 , compared with Adjusted EBITDA margin of 22.4% for the three months endedJune 30, 2019 .

Total revenue increased $15.3 million , or 3.8%, to $415.3 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2020 , compared to $400.0 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2019 . This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in Cloud
revenue of $48.5 million , or 15.6%, from $310.3 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2019 , to $358.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 . The
Cloud revenue increase was driven by an increase of $36.9 million , or 14.9%, in
Cloud recurring services revenue, and $11.6 million , or 18.5%, in Cloud
professional services and other revenue. The increase in Cloud recurring
services revenue of $36.9 million was due to $32.7 million from new customers,
add-ons, and revenue uplift from migrations of Bureau customers, net of customer
losses and $11.6 million from the migration of Bureau customers, partially
offset by a decline of $7.4 million from float revenue related to Cloud
recurring services revenue.
32
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The COVID-19 pandemic has had an adverse impact on our revenue streams during
the six months ended June 30, 2020 , primarily in the form of lower employment
levels at our customers, lower float revenue resulting from reductions in the
U.S. Federal Reserve federal funds rate and the Bank of Canada overnight rate
target, lower average float balances for our customer trust funds, lower demand
for professional services, and customer delays in implementation services, among
other effects. We estimate the impact of lower employment levels at our
customers to be an approximately $8 million decline to our revenue for the six
months ended June 30, 2020 , of which approximately $5 million was related to
Dayforce and approximately $3 million was related to Powerpay. In addition, we
estimate the impact to float revenue to be approximately $8 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2020 . Of the approximately $8 million impact on float
revenue, approximately $5 million is calculated based on the rate reductions
during the first quarter of 2020, and approximately $3 million is related to
lower average float balances for our customer trust funds.
Cloud revenue was $358.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 , an
increase of $48.5 million , or 15.6%, compared to the six months ended June 30,
2019 . Dayforce revenue increased 19.8%, and Powerpay revenue declined 10.5% for
the six months ended June 30, 2020 , as compared to the six months ended June 30,
2019 . On a constant currency basis, Dayforce revenue increased 20.4%, and
Powerpay revenue declined 9.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 , compared
to the six months ended June 30, 2019 . Powerpay revenue is recognized on a
per-employee, per-process basis, and the timing of customer processing at year-
end can vary from year to year. Powerpay is designed primarily for small market
Canadian customers, which typically have fewer than 20 employees, and these
customers have been more adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic than larger
Dayforce customers. Our new business sales to Dayforce and Powerpay customers
comprised approximately 76% of our increase in Cloud revenue for the six months
ended June 30, 2020 , and approximately 24% consisted primarily of customer
migrations to Dayforce from our Bureau solutions. The percentage of new business
sales compared to customer migrations was adversely affected by the impact of
the COVID-19 pandemic on our revenues. As we migrate our Bureau customers to
Dayforce, we typically experience a revenue increase from such customers driven
by increased product density on the Dayforce platform.
Bureau revenue declined
Excluding float revenue and on a constant currency basis, total revenue grew 8.7%, reflecting a 20.9% increase in Cloud revenue, partially offset by a 33.7% decline in Bureau revenue. Excluding float revenue and on a constant currency basis, Cloud revenue growth reflected a 21.4% increase in Cloud recurring services revenue and a 19.2% increase in Cloud professional services and other revenue. Excluding float revenue and on a constant currency basis, Dayforce revenue increased 25.2%, reflecting a 27.2% increase in Dayforce recurring service revenue and a 19.5% increase in Dayforce professional services and other revenue. Excluding float revenue and on a constant currency basis, Powerpay revenue declined 7.0%, reflecting a 6.9% decline in Powerpay recurring service revenue. Investment income from invested customer trust funds included in revenue was$31.1 million and$44.6 million for the six months endedJune 30, 2020 , and 2019, respectively. Float revenue allocated to Cloud revenue was$27.0 million and$34.4 million , respectively, for the six months endedJune 30, 2020 , and 2019, respectively. The average float balance for our customer trust funds for the six months endedJune 30, 2020 , was$3,535.0 million , compared to$3,733.3 million for the six months endedJune 30, 2019 . On a constant currency basis, the average float balance for our customer trust funds declined 4.8% for the six months endedJune 30, 2020 , compared to the six months endedJune 30, 2019 . The average yield was 1.77% during the six months endedJune 30, 2020 , a decline of 65 basis points compared to the average yield in the six months endedJune 30, 2019 . For the six months endedJune 30, 2020 , approximately 32% of our average float balance consisted of Canadian customer trust funds, compared to approximately 35% for the six months endedJune 30, 2019 . Based on current market conditions, portfolio composition and investment practices, a 100 basis point change in market investment rates would result in approximately$17 million of change in float revenue over the ensuing twelve month period. Cost of revenue. Total cost of revenue for the six months endedJune 30, 2020 , was$236.2 million , an increase of$17.8 million , or 8.2%, compared to the six months endedJune 30, 2019 . Recurring services cost of revenue increased$1.9 million , or 1.9% for the six months endedJune 30, 2020 , compared to the six months endedJune 30, 2019 , primarily due to additional costs related to global expansion and costs to support the growing Dayforce customer base, partially offset by reductions in Bureau costs. The increase in cost of revenue for professional services and other of$11.0 million , or 15.8% for the six months endedJune 30, 2020 , compared to the six months endedJune 30, 2019 , was primarily due to additional costs incurred to implement new customers. Product development and management expense increased$3.0 million for the six months endedJune 30, 2020 , compared to the six months endedJune 30, 2019 , reflecting increases in Dayforce product development efforts, including costs to build out the Dayforce Wallet and our international offerings that are not eligible for capitalization, and increases in product management labor costs. For the six months endedJune 30, 2020 , and 2019, our investment in software development was$34.2 million and$30.7 million , respectively, consisting of$15.7 million and$15.9 million , of research and development expense, which is included within product development and management expense, and$18.5 million and$14.8 million in capitalized software development, respectively. 33 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Depreciation and amortization expense associated with cost of revenue increased by$1.9 million for the six months endedJune 30, 2020 , compared to the six months endedJune 30, 2019 , as we continue to capitalize Dayforce related and other development costs and subsequently amortize those costs.
Gross profit. The table below presents total gross margin and solution gross margins for the periods presented:
Six Months Ended June 30,
2020 2019
Total gross margin 43.1 % 45.4 %
Gross margin by solution:
Cloud recurring services 71.7 % 69.7 %
Bureau recurring services 62.3 % 72.2 %
Professional services and other (7.8 )% (9.1 )%
Total gross margin for the six months ended
Cloud recurring services gross margin was 71.7% for the six months endedJune 30, 2020 , compared to 69.7% for the six months endedJune 30, 2019 . Excluding float revenue, Cloud recurring service gross margin was 68.8% for the six months endedJune 30, 2020 , compared to 64.8% for the six months endedJune 30, 2019 . 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 67% as ofJune 30, 2019 , to 72% as ofJune 30, 2020 , and was also attributable to consistent configuration that has enabled us to realize economies of scale in customer support and hosting costs. Bureau recurring services gross margin declined from 72.2% for the six months endedJune 30, 2019 , to 62.3% for the six months endedJune 30, 2020 , primarily due to lower Bureau recurring revenue, including high margin float revenue. Professional services and other gross margin was (7.8)% for the six months endedJune 30, 2020 , improving from (9.1)% for the six months endedJune 30, 2019 , reflecting continued productivity improvements in implementing new customers during the first quarter of 2020, until the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected utilization of employees. Selling, general, and administrative expense. Selling, general, and administrative expense increased by$13.3 million for the six months endedJune 30, 2020 , compared to the six months endedJune 30, 2019 . Excluding the impact of share-based compensation and related employer taxes, restructuring consulting fees, severance expense, and certain other non-recurring charges; selling, general, and administrative expenses would have been reduced by$1.3 million . This adjusted reduction of$1.3 million reflects a reduction of$6.6 million in general and administrative expense, primarily customer list amortization expense, partially offset by a$5.3 million increase in sales and marketing, primarily employee related costs. Please refer to the "Non-GAAP Measures" section for additional information on the excluded items. Operating profit. Operating profit declined$15.8 million to$30.3 million , for the six months endedJune 30, 2020 , from$46.1 million for the six months endedJune 30, 2019 . Excluding the impact of share-based compensation and related employer taxes, restructuring consulting fees, severance expense, and other certain non-recurring charges; operating profit would have been$70.4 million and$67.4 million for the six months endedJune 30, 2020 , and 2019, respectively. Interest expense. Interest expense was$13.5 million for the six months endedJune 30, 2020 , compared to$17.4 million for the six months endedJune 30, 2019 , which was primarily due to a reduction in our term debt interest rate. A 100 basis point change in LIBOR rates would result in an approximately$10 million change in our interest expense over the ensuing twelve-month period. Other expense, net. For the six months endedJune 30, 2020 , we incurred$2.9 million of other expense, net, compared to$3.1 million of other expense, net, for the six months endedJune 30, 2019 . Income tax (benefit) expense. For the six months endedJune 30, 2020 , and 2019, we recorded income tax benefit of$0.2 million and income tax expenses of$8.1 million , respectively. The$8.3 million reduction in tax expense was primarily due to reductions in income tax expense attributable toU.S. and foreign operations of$2.5 million , base erosion anti-abuse tax ("BEAT") in theU.S. of$6.0 million , global intangible low taxed income ("GILTI") in the US of$3.0 million , and other tax benefits of$2.0 million , partially offset by increases in income tax expense attributable to state taxes in theU.S. of$1.4 million , stock-based compensation of$0.6 million , and a$3.2 million tax benefit recognized during the six months endedJune 30, 2019 , that was not repeated during the six months endedJune 30, 2020 . 34
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net income. Net income was
Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA declined by$1.1 million to$92.7 million , for the six months endedJune 30, 2020 , compared to the six months endedJune 30, 2019 , and Adjusted EBITDA margin was 22.3% for the six months endedJune 30, 2020 , compared with 23.5% for the six months endedJune 30, 2019 .
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity are our existing cash and equivalents, cash provided by operating activities, borrowings under our credit facilities, and proceeds from equity offerings. As ofJune 30, 2020 , we had cash and equivalents of$526.9 million . OnApril 2, 2020 , in light of the current uncertainty in the global capital markets resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, Ceridian elected to borrow$295.0 million under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility as a precautionary measure to increase our cash position and to preserve financial flexibility. We may use a portion of the proceeds from the borrowing for general corporate purposes. Our total debt balance was$973.5 million as ofJune 30, 2020 . OnFebruary 19, 2020 , Ceridian completed the first amendment to the 2018 Senior Secured Credit Facility, in which the 2018 Term Debt interest rate was reduced from LIBOR plus 3.00% to LIBOR plus 2.50%. Further, the interest rate trigger under the applicable rating by Moody's Investor Service was removed by the first amendment. The 50 basis point rate reduction will result in savings of approximately$3.4 million over the ensuing twelve-month period. Please refer to Note 7, "Debt," to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information on our debt.
Our primary liquidity needs are related to funding of general business requirements, including the payment of interest and principal on our debt, capital expenditures, pension contributions, and product development.
Our customer trust funds are held and invested with the primary objectives being to protect the principal balance and to ensure adequate liquidity to meet cash flow requirements. In accordance with these objectives, we maintain approximately 47% 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 53% of customer trust funds in fixed income portfolios with maturities ranging from 120 days to 10 years, consisting ofU.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. 35
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Statements of Cash Flows
Changes in cash flows due to purchases of customer trust fund marketable
securities and proceeds from the sale or maturity of customer trust fund
marketable securities, as well as the carrying value of customer trust fund
accounts as of period end dates can vary significantly due to several factors,
including the specific day of the week the period ends, which impacts the timing
of funds collected from customers and payments made to satisfy customer
obligations to employees, taxing authorities, and others. The customer trust
funds are fully segregated from our operating cash accounts and are evaluated
and tracked separately by management. Therefore, we have provided the table
below excluding the cash flows and restricted cash and equivalents held within
our customer trust funds to provide supplemental information regarding the cash
flows related to our core business.

$ 2,371.6 Operating Activities Net cash provided by operating activities, was$23.9 million during the six months endedJune 30, 2020 , primarily attributable to net income of$14.1 million and the net impact of adjustments for certain non-cash items of$55.2 million , including$27.8 million of non-cash share-based compensation expense and$23.9 million of depreciation and amortization. These items were partially offset by net working capital reductions of$45.4 million , which included a$21.3 million reduction in liabilities for employee compensation and benefits due to payments of accrued incentive compensation, a$7.5 million net change in other assets and liabilities, and a$6.4 million increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets, primarily due to annual maintenance contracts. Included within net cash flows provided by operating activities for the six months endedJune 30, 2020 , was$14.3 million in cash interest payments on our long-term debt and$2.2 million in cash tax payments, net of refunds. Net cash provided by operating activities of$10.2 million during the six months endedJune 30, 2019 , was primarily attributable to net income of$17.5 million and certain non-cash items, primarily$29.0 million of depreciation and amortization and$15.6 million of non-cash share-based compensation expense, partially offset by net working capital reductions of$51.1 million . The net$51.1 million change in working capital included reductions of$19.5 million in liabilities for employee compensation and benefits, primarily due to payments of accrued incentive compensation and pension contributions;$8.1 million for accrued taxes, primarily due to cash tax payments partially offset by additional provision accruals,$5.7 million for accounts payables and other accrued expenses, and increases in assets of$11.1 million for prepaid expenses and other current assets, primarily due to annual maintenance contracts. Included within net cash flows provided by operating activities for the six months endedJune 30, 2019 , was$21.1 million in cash tax payments,$19.2 million in cash interest payments on our long-term debt, and$6.7 million in pension contributions.
Investing Activities
During the six months endedJune 30, 2020 , net cash used in investing activities, excluding customer trust fund activity, was$100.3 million , related to capital expenditures of$29.7 million and acquisition costs, net of cash acquired of$70.6 million . Our capital expenditures included$19.8 million for software and technology and$9.9 million for property and equipment. 36 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- During the six months endedJune 30, 2019 , net cash used in investing activities, excluding customer trust fund activity, was$36.6 million , related to capital expenditures of$26.4 million and acquisition costs, net of cash acquired of$10.2 million . Our capital expenditures included$18.7 million for software and technology and$7.7 million for property and equipment.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities, excluding the change in customer trust fund obligations, was$341.1 million during the six months endedJune 30, 2020 . This cash inflow is primarily attributable to proceeds from a draw on the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility of$295.0 million and proceeds from the issuance of common stock upon exercise of stock options of$51.5 million , partially offset by payments on our long-term debt obligations of$5.4 million . The payments on our long-term debt obligations included$3.4 million in principal payments towards our 2018 Term Loan and$2.0 million in payments towards our financing lease obligations. Net cash provided by financing activities, excluding the change in customer trust fund obligations, was$40.7 million during the six months endedJune 30, 2019 . This cash inflow is primarily attributable to proceeds from the issuance of common stock upon exercise of stock options of$44.1 million , partially offset by principal payments on our long-term debt obligations of$3.4 million .
Backlog
Backlog is equivalent to our remaining performance obligations, which represents contracted revenue for recurring services and fixed price professional services, primarily implementation services, that has not yet been recognized, including deferred revenue and unbilled amounts that will be recognized as revenue in future periods. Please refer to Note 10, "Revenue," to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our remaining performance obligations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
During the six months endedJune 30, 2020 , there were no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as described in the consolidated financial statements contained in our 2019 Form 10-K.
Non-GAAP Measures
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, non-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 before interest, taxes,
depreciation, and amortization, as adjusted to exclude gain (loss) on assets and
liabilities held in a foreign currency other than the functional currency of a
company subsidiary, share-based compensation expense and related employer taxes,
severance charges, restructuring consulting fees, and certain other
non-recurring 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, GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin should not
be considered as alternatives to operating profit, net income, earnings per
share, or any other performance measures derived in accordance with 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.
37
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are not defined under GAAP, are not
measures of net income, operating profit, or any other performance measures
derived in accordance with 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 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 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 and related employer taxes 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;
• Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin do not reflect our income tax
expense or the cash requirements to pay our income taxes; and
• Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin do not reflect certain other
non-recurring charges.
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.
The following table reconciles operating profit to Adjusted EBITDA for the
