press release
Paylocity Announces Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2025 Financial Results
•Q2 2025 Recurring & Other Revenue of $347.7 million, up 17% year-over-year
•Q2 2025 Total Revenue of $377.0 million, up 16% year-over-year
SCHAUMBURG, IL. – February 6, 2025 – Paylocity Holding Corporation (Nasdaq: PCTY), a leading provider of cloud-based HR, payroll, and spend management software solutions, today announced financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, which ended December 31, 2024.

“The momentum we saw in Q1 continued into the second quarter of fiscal 25, resulting in very strong results, solid selling season performance, and increased revenue and profitability guidance for fiscal 25. Second quarter recurring & other revenue growth was 17%, primarily driven by strong sales and operational execution, continued product differentiation, and a stable macroeconomic environment. Our sustained investment in R&D continues to drive differentiation and expanded average revenue per client, with the recent launch of Benefits Decision Support and Headcount Planning increasing our max PEPY to $600, achieving the target we set in August 2023. I would also like to thank all of our Paylocity teams as they support our clients through our busiest time of year,” said Toby Williams, President and Chief Executive Officer of Paylocity.

•Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, is expected to be in the range of $171.0 million to $175.0 million.
•Adjusted EBITDA excluding interest income on funds held for clients, a non-GAAP measure, is expected to be in the range of $142.0 million to $146.0 million.
Fiscal Year 2025:
•Recurring and other revenue is expected to be in the range of $1.445 billion to $1.455 billion, which represents approximately 13% growth over fiscal year 2024 recurring and other revenue.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures when reporting and discussing its financial results, including the financial measures in this release that are designated as being “non-GAAP.” Management presents certain non-GAAP


financial measures in this release because it considers them to be important supplemental measures of performance. Management uses non-GAAP financial measures for planning purposes, including analysis of the company's performance against prior periods, the preparation of operating budgets and to determine appropriate levels of operating and capital investments. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide additional insight for analysts and investors in evaluating the company's financial and operational performance. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool and other companies may define their non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures provided in the accompanying tables to this release, as well as the definitions of those non-GAAP measures following such tables.
