ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill., Feb. 5, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Paylocity Holding Corporation (Nasdaq:PCTY), a cloud-based provider of payroll and human capital management software solutions, today announced financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2015, which ended December 31, 2014.

"Our second quarter was very strong across all key metrics, including total revenue growth of 44%.

Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2015 Financial Highlights

Revenue:

Total revenue was $34.3million, an increase of 44% from the second quarter of fiscal year 2014. Due to the calendar year-end holiday schedule, a number of clients processed an extra payroll in December, which we estimate resulted in a 2% increase in total revenue in the quarter.
Total recurring revenue was $32.4million, representing 95% of total revenue and an increase of 44% from the second quarter of fiscal year 2014.

Adjusted EBITDA:

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, was ($0.2)million compared to Adjusted EBITDA of ($0.7) million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2014.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures in this release, including Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted gross profit, adjusted recurring gross profit, non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's performance, financial position or cash flow that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, taxes, and depreciation and amortization expense, adjusted to eliminate stock-based compensation expense and employer payroll taxes related to stock releases and option exercises. Adjusted gross profit and adjusted recurring gross profit are adjusted for stock-based compensation expense and employer payroll taxes related to stock releases and option exercises and amortization of capitalized research and development costs. Non-GAAP operating income (loss) is adjusted for stock-based compensation expense and employer payroll taxes related to stock releases and option exercises, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share are adjusted for stock-based compensation expense and employer payroll taxes related to stock releases and option exercises and amortization of acquired intangibles. Please note that other companies may define their non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do. Management presents certain non-GAAP financial measures in this release because it considers them to be important supplemental measures of performance. Management uses these 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. Management also intends to provide these non-GAAP financial measures as part of the company's future earnings discussions and, therefore, the inclusion of the non-GAAP financial measures should provide consistency in the company's financial reporting. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures provided in this release.
