Overview
We are a leading provider of a comprehensive, cloud-based human capital management, or HCM, software solution delivered as Software-as-a-Service, or SaaS. We provide functionality and data analytics that businesses need to manage the complete employment life cycle from recruitment to retirement. Our solution requires virtually no customization and is based on a core system of record maintained in a single database for all HCM functions, including talent acquisition, time and labor management, payroll, talent management and human resources, or HR, management applications. Our user-friendly software allows for easy adoption of our solution by employees, enabling self-management of their HCM activities in the cloud, which reduces the administrative burden on employers and increases employee productivity.
Organizations need sophisticated, flexible and intuitive applications that can quickly adapt to their evolving HCM requirements, streamline their HR processes and systems and enable them to control costs. We believe that the HCM needs of most organizations are currently served either by legacy providers offering outdated on-premise products or multiple providers that partner together in an attempt to replicate a comprehensive product. These approaches often result in large up-front capital requirements, extended delivery times, high costs, low scalability and challenges with system integration. According to the International Data Corporation, or IDC, the U.S. markets for payroll services and HCM applications will collectively total approximately $22.5 billion in 2014, and we believe there is a substantial opportunity for our solution to address these HCM needs.
Because our solution was developed in-house and is based on a single platform, there is no need to integrate, update or access multiple databases, which are common issues with competitor offerings that use multiple third-party systems in order to link together their HCM offerings. Additionally, our solution maintains data integrity for accurate, actionable and real-time analytics and business intelligence and helps clients minimize the risk of compliance errors due to inaccurate or missing information. We deliver feature-rich applications while maintaining excellence in information security and quality management standards as evidenced by our International Organization for Standardization, or ISO, certifications. As a part of our client retention effort, a specialist within a dedicated team is assigned to each client to provide industry-leading, personalized service.
The key benefits of our differentiated solution as compared to competing products are:
| Comprehensive HCM solution; |
1
| Core system of record enabling data analytics maintained on a single database; |
| Personalized support provided by trained personnel; |
| Software-as-a-Service delivery model; |
| Cloud-based architecture; and |
| Scalability to grow with our clients. |
We sell our solution directly through our internally trained, client-focused and highly skilled sales force based in offices across the United States. We have over 10,000 clients, none of which constituted more than one-half of one percent of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2013. We believe that as a result of our focus on client retention, we enjoy high client satisfaction as evidenced by an average annual revenue retention rate of 91% from existing clients for the three years ended December 31, 2013. We believe our revenue retention rate understates our client loyalty because this rate also includes former clients that were acquired or otherwise ceased operations.
Since our founding in Oklahoma City in 1998, we have focused on providing an innovative SaaS HCM solution. As of December 31, 2013, we had 840 employees across the United States. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, our revenues were $107.6 million, $76.8 million, and $57.2 million, respectively, representing year-over-year growth in revenues of 40% and 34%, respectively. We currently derive most of our revenues from our payroll and tax management applications, which we refer to as payroll processing. We realized net income of $7.7 million, $4.2 million and $1.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Industry Background
Large Market Opportunity for HCM Technologies
According to IDC, the U.S. market for HCM applications is comprised of software that automates business processes covering the entire span of an employees relationship with his or her employer. IDC estimates that this market, excluding payroll services, will total $5.8 billion in 2014. According to IDC, the U.S. market for payroll services will be an estimated $16.2 billion in 2014. IDC estimates that the international market for HCM applications (excluding the United States) will be $4.1 billion in 2014.
Economic and Technological Trends Are Driving Demand for HCM Solutions
Organizations operating in todays global economy are continually under pressure to reduce operating costs in order to maintain or improve their competitive positions. As a result, businesses are increasingly making the strategic decision to leverage HCM technologies in order to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of their internal HR and accounting functions and capture opportunities for cost savings. According to IBISWorld, companies often outsource administrative services, such as time and labor management, after initially outsourcing payroll. We believe that businesses increasingly view data concerning their human capital as a critical strategic resource that can result in more informed decision-making.
Organizations are also managing internal costs and administrative burdens by transitioning technological assets from on-premise to the cloud. The rise of cloud computing has supported the SaaS delivery model. According to IDC, the global SaaS market is projected to grow from $23 billion in 2011 to $67 billion in 2016, at a compounded annual growth rate, or CAGR, of 24%.
Incumbent HCM Products Struggle To Meet the Needs of Businesses
We believe that a majority of businesses and organizations in the United States are using multiple HCM systems from more than one vendor, thereby impeding their ability to share data across these systems. Several
2
incumbent payroll and HCM vendors offer product sets that are comprised of separate systems that require integration. In certain cases, this disparate product offering across several vendors is the result of several acquisitions which often leads to a loosely coupled product set that is marked by significant architectural differences and weak data integration. We believe that this type of offering increases the risk of user or system error and reduces overall effectiveness. Finally, we believe that vendors who pursue market segmentation strategies based on organization size or industry create difficulties for clients who grow, either in size or industry scope, beyond the confines of those vendors offerings. A scalable HCM solution based on a core system of record allows for an organization to grow in size and scope without transitioning to a new user interface or back-end database.
The Paycom Solution
We offer an end-to-end SaaS HCM solution that provides our clients and their employees with immediate access to accurate and secure information and analytics 24 hours a day, seven days a week from any location. We believe that our solution delivers the following benefits:
| Comprehensive HCM Solution. Our solution offers functionality that manages the entire employment life cycle for employers and employees, from recruitment to retirement. Our user-friendly applications streamline client processes and provide clients and their employees with the ability to directly access and manage administrative processes, including applications that identify candidates, onboard employees, manage time and labor, administer payroll deductions and benefits, manage performance, offboard employees and administer post-termination health benefits such as COBRA. |
| Core System of Record. Our solution is based on a core system of record that contains payroll and HR information in one convenient database, thereby reducing costs and eliminating the need for multiple software products and vendors and the maintenance of employee data in numerous databases. In addition, our core system of record helps clients minimize the risk of compliance errors due to inaccurate or missing information that results from maintaining multiple databases. |
| Data Analytics. Our solution allows clients to analyze accurate employee information to make business decisions based upon actionable, real-time, point-and-click analytics provided through our client dashboard. This functionality helps our clients operate with a more complete and accurate picture of their organization as our solutions embedded analytics capture the content and context of everyday business events, facilitating fast and informed decision-making from any location. |
| Personalized Support Provided by Trained Personnel. Our applications are supported by one-on-one personal assistance from trained specialists. We strive to provide our clients with high levels of service and support to ensure their continued use of our solution for all of their HCM needs. We have maintained high client satisfaction, as evidenced by an average annual revenue retention rate of 91% from existing clients for the three years ended December 31, 2013. |
| Software-as-a-Service Delivery Model. Our SaaS delivery model allows clients with a geographically dispersed and mobile workforce to operate more efficiently, and allows these clients to implement, access and use our client-oriented Internet solution on demand and remotely through standard web browsers, smart phones, tablets and other web-enabled devices. |
| Secure Cloud-Based Architecture. Our cloud-based architecture allows our solution to be implemented remotely with minimal client interaction, allowing our clients to make a smaller investment in hardware, personnel, implementation time and consulting. |
| Scalability to Grow with our Clients. Our solution is highly scalable. We have served a diversified client base ranging in size from one to more than 8,000 employees. Our clients are able to use the same solution while their businesses grow by deploying applications as-needed in real-time. |

Our Strategy for Growth
Our strategy is to continue to establish our solution as the HCM industry standard. To accomplish this, we intend to:
| Increase Our Presence in Existing Markets. Although we have clients in all 50 states, we believe a significant opportunity exists to expand our presence within markets where we currently have a sales office. We have a sales office in 24 of the 50 largest Metropolitan Statistical Areas, or MSAs, in the United States based on 2010 U.S. census data, only one of which is served by multiple sales teams. We believe that the 50 largest MSAs in the United States could collectively support at least 100 additional sales teams. Each sales office is typically staffed with one sales team, with each team comprised of approximately seven to nine sales professionals. We plan to increase our presence in our existing markets by adding sales offices and increasing the number of our sales teams to further penetrate and effectively capture these markets. |
| Expand Into Additional Markets. We plan to continue expanding our sales capability by opening sales offices in certain metropolitan areas where we currently have no sales teams. We have identified 50 untapped metropolitan areas where we can potentially open a new sales office staffed with at least one sales team. Since September 2012, we have opened sales offices in Baltimore, Detroit, Indianapolis, Minneapolis, New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Seattle and Silicon Valley. We intend to open six to eight additional offices over the next two years, as well as potentially expand over the longer term into international markets. |
| Enlarge our Existing Client Relationships. We believe a significant growth opportunity exists in selling additional applications to our current clients. During the year ended December 31, 2013, all of our clients, including our new clients, on average utilized 5.2 of our 18 then available applications. During that same period, however, new clients on average utilized 6.2 applications. We believe that there is a significant opportunity to sell additional applications to our existing clients. As we extend and strengthen the functionality of our solution, we will continue to invest in initiatives to increase the adoption of our solution and maintain our high levels of client satisfaction. |
| Target Larger Clients. We believe larger employers represent a substantial opportunity to increase the number of clients and to increase our revenue per client, with limited incremental cost to us. To further capitalize on this opportunity, we intend to target larger businesses opportunistically. |
| Maintain Our Leadership in Innovation by Strengthening and Extending our Solution. We intend to continue to use our in-house development efforts, which are heavily based upon proactive research and client input, to extend the functionality and range of our solution in the future. |
Selected Risks Associated with Our Business
Our business is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including those highlighted in the section Risk Factors immediately following this prospectus summary. Some of these risks include:
| Our business depends substantially on our clients continued use of our applications, their purchases of additional applications from us and our ability to add new clients. |
| The market in which we participate is highly competitive, and if we do not compete effectively, our business, operating results or financial condition could be adversely affected. |
| We have historically derived a majority of our revenue from payroll processing and our efforts to increase the use of our other HCM applications may not be successful and may reduce our revenue growth rate. |
4
| If our security measures are breached or unauthorized access to data of our clients or their employees is otherwise obtained, our solution may not be perceived as being secure, clients may reduce, limit or stop using our solution and we may incur significant liabilities. |
| If the SaaS market develops more slowly than we expect or declines, our growth may slow or stall, and our business could be adversely affected. |
| If we are not able to develop enhancements or new applications, keep pace with technological developments or respond to future disruptive technologies, our business could be adversely affected. |
| Our business and operations are experiencing rapid growth and organizational change and if we fail to manage our growth effectively, we may be unable to execute our business plan, maintain high levels of satisfaction or adequately address competitive challenges. |
| Our financial results may fluctuate due to many factors, some of which may be beyond our control. |

(2) | Net income (loss) per Series A Preferred Unit and common unit and weighted average units outstanding represent the earnings per unit reported in the consolidated statements of income for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 that are included elsewhere in this prospectus. Pro forma net income per share of common stock and the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding reflect the estimated number of shares of common stock we expect to have outstanding upon the completion of this offering as discussed in Note (4) below. |
(3) | We use earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA as supplemental measures to review and assess our performance. We define EBITDA as net income, plus interest expense and depreciation and amortization and Adjusted EBITDA as net income, plus interest expense, depreciation and amortization, incentive-based compensation expense and certain transaction expenses that are not core to the Companys operations. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are metrics that we believe are useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance and facilitating comparison with other peer companies, many of which use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement results under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP. |
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of financial performance under U.S. GAAP, and should not be considered a substitute for net income, which we consider to be the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing our operating performance, you should not consider EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA in isolation, or as a substitute for net income or other consolidated statements of income data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar titled measures of other companies and other companies may not calculate such measures in the same manner as we do.

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below before making a decision to invest in our common stock. Our business, operating results or financial condition could be adversely affected by any of these risks, as well as other risks not currently known to us or that we currently consider immaterial. The trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks, and, as a result, you may lose all or part of your investment. Before deciding whether to invest in our common stock, you should also refer to the other information contained in this prospectus, including our consolidated financial statements and the related notes.
Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
Our business depends substantially on our clients continued use of our applications, their purchases of additional applications from us and our ability to add new clients. Any decline in our clients continued use of our applications or purchases of additional applications could adversely affect our business, operating results or financial condition.
In order for us to maintain or improve our operating results, it is important that our current clients continue to use our applications and purchase additional applications from us, and that we add additional clients. Our clients have no obligation to continue to use our applications, and may choose not to continue to use our applications at the same or higher level of service, if at all. In the past, some of our clients have elected not to continue to use our applications. Moreover, our clients generally have the right to cancel their agreements with us for any or no reason by providing 30 days prior written notice.
Our client retention rates may fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, including the level of client satisfaction with our applications, pricing, the prices of competing products or services, mergers and acquisitions affecting our client base, reduced hiring by our clients or reductions in our clients spending levels. If our clients do not continue to use our applications, renew on less favorable terms, fail to purchase additional applications, or if we fail to add new clients, our revenue may decline, and our business, operating results or financial condition could be adversely affected.
The market in which we participate is highly competitive, and if we do not compete effectively, our business, operating results or financial condition could be adversely affected.
The market for HCM software is highly competitive, rapidly evolving and fragmented. We expect competition to intensify in the future with the introduction of new technologies and market entrants. Many of our current and potential competitors are larger and have greater brand name recognition, longer operating histories, more established relationships in the industry and significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do. As a result, some of these competitors may be able to:
| adapt more rapidly to new or emerging technologies and changes in client requirements; |
| develop superior products or services, gain greater market acceptance and expand their product and service offerings more efficiently or rapidly; |
| bundle products and services that we may not offer or in a manner that provides our competitors with a price advantage; |
| take advantage of acquisition and other opportunities for expansion more readily; |
| maintain a lower cost basis; |
| adopt more aggressive pricing policies and devote greater resources to the promotion, marketing and sales of their products and services; and |
| devote greater resources to the research and development of their products and services. |
12
Some of our principal competitors offer their products or services at a lower price, which has resulted in pricing pressures. Similarly, some competitors offer different billing terms, which has resulted in pressures on our billing terms. If we are unable to maintain our pricing levels and our billing terms, our operating results would be negatively impacted. In addition, pricing pressures and increased competition generally could result in reduced sales, reduced margins, losses or the failure of our solution to achieve or maintain widespread market acceptance, any of which could adversely affect our business, operating results or financial condition.
We compete with firms that provide HCM solutions by various means. Many providers continue to deliver legacy enterprise software, but as demand for greater flexibility and access to information grows, we believe there will be increased competition in the delivery of HCM cloud-based solutions by other SaaS providers. Our competitors offer HCM solutions that overlap with one, several or all categories of applications offered by our solution. Our talent acquisition and talent management applications compete primarily with Cornerstone OnDemand, Inc., Oracle Corporation, SAP AG and Workday, Inc. Our payroll applications, including payroll processing, compete primarily with Automatic Data Processing, Inc., or ADP, Ceridian Corporation, Concur Technologies, Inc., Intuit, Inc., Paychex, Inc. and The Ultimate Software Group, Inc. Our HR management applications compete primarily with ADP, Ceridian Corporation, Oracle Corporation, Paychex, Inc., SAP AG, and Workday, Inc. Our time and labor management applications compete primarily with ADP, Ceridian Corporation and The Ultimate Software Group, Inc. All of our larger competitors compete with us across multiple application categories. In addition, our HCM solution continues to face competition from in-house payroll and HR systems and departments as well as HR systems and software sold by third-party vendors.
Competition in the HCM solutions market is primarily based on service responsiveness, product quality and reputation, breadth of service and product offering and price. Many of our competitors are able to devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products and services. In addition, many of our competitors have established marketing relationships, access to larger client bases and major distribution agreements with consultants, software vendors and distributors. In addition, some competitors may offer software that addresses one or a limited number of HCM functions at a lower price point or with greater depth than our solution. As a result, our competitors may be able to respond more quickly and effectively than we can to new or changing opportunities, technologies, standards or client requirements. Further, some potential clients, particularly large enterprises, may elect to develop their own internal solutions. If we are unable to compete effectively, our business, operating results or financial condition could be adversely affected.
We have historically derived a majority of our revenue from payroll processing and our efforts to increase the use of our other HCM applications may not be successful and may reduce our revenue growth rate.
To date we have derived a majority of our revenue from payroll processing. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, payroll processing represented approximately 58%, 60% and 68% of our total revenues, respectively. Compared to payroll processing, our participation in other HCM applications markets is relatively new, and it is uncertain whether our revenue from other HCM applications will continue to grow. The relatively limited extent to which our other HCM applications have been adopted by our clients, and the uncertainty regarding the adoption of any new applications beyond our existing applications, may make it difficult to evaluate our business because the potential market for such applications remains uncertain. Our HCM solution may not achieve and sustain the high level of market acceptance that is critical for the success of our business. The failure to increase the use of our HCM applications and any new applications developed by us may reduce our revenue growth rate, which could adversely affect our business, operating results or financial condition.
If our security measures are breached, or unauthorized access to data of our clients or their employees is otherwise obtained, our solution may not be perceived as being secure, clients may reduce the use of or stop using our solution and we may incur significant liabilities.
Our solution involves the collection, storage and transmission of clients and their employees confidential and proprietary information, including personal or identifying information, as well as financial and payroll data. Unauthorized access or security breaches could result in the loss of information, litigation, indemnity obligations
13
and other liability. While we have security measures in place to protect client and employee information and prevent data loss and other security breaches, if these measures are breached as a result of third-party action, employee error, malfeasance or otherwise, and someone obtains unauthorized access to our clients data, our reputation could be damaged, our business may suffer and we could incur significant liability. Because the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access or to sabotage systems change frequently, we may not be able to anticipate these techniques and implement adequate preventative measures. Cyber liability insurance may be inadequate or may not be available in the future on acceptable terms, or at all. In addition, our cyber liability insurance policy may not cover all claims made against us, and defending a suit, regardless of its merit, could be costly and divert managements attention.
Any actual or perceived breach of our security could damage our reputation, cause existing clients to discontinue the use of our solution, prevent us from attracting new clients, or subject us to third-party lawsuits, regulatory fines or other action or liability, which could adversely affect our business, operating results or financial condition.
If the SaaS market develops more slowly than we expect or declines, our growth may slow or stall, and our business could be adversely affected.
The SaaS market is not as mature as the market for on-premise enterprise software, and it is uncertain whether SaaS will achieve and sustain high levels of demand and market acceptance. Our success will depend not only on strong demand for HCM services in general, but also to a substantial extent on the widespread adoption of SaaS. Many companies have invested substantial personnel and financial resources to integrate traditional enterprise software into their businesses, and therefore may be reluctant or unwilling to migrate to SaaS. It is difficult to predict client adoption rates and demand for our solution, the future growth rate and size of the SaaS market or the entry of competitive products. The expansion of the SaaS market depends on a number of factors, including the cost, performance and perceived value associated with SaaS, as well as the ability of SaaS providers to address security and privacy concerns. If other SaaS providers experience security incidents, loss of client data, disruptions in delivery or other problems, the market for SaaS applications as a whole, including our solution, may be negatively affected. If SaaS does not achieve widespread adoption, or there is a reduction in demand for SaaS caused by a lack of client acceptance, technological challenges, weakening economic conditions, security or privacy concerns, competing technologies and products, decreases in corporate spending or otherwise, our growth may slow or stall, and our business could be adversely affected.
Any interruption or failure of our data centers could impair our ability to effectively provide our solution and adversely affect our business.
We serve all of our clients from our two data centers located in Oklahoma and Texas. These locations are vulnerable to damage or interruption from severe weather, tornados, terrorist attacks, earthquakes, floods, fires, power loss, telecommunications failures, computer viruses or cyber-attacks. They are also subject to break-ins, sabotage, intentional acts of vandalism and other misconduct. Our solution depends on the continuing operation of our data centers and any damage to or failure of our data centers could result in interruptions in our services. Any interruption in our service could damage our reputation, cause our clients to terminate their use of our solution and prevent us from gaining new or additional business from current clients, which could have an adverse effect on our business, operating results or financial condition.
Any significant disruption in our SaaS network infrastructure could harm our reputation and expose us to significant costs.
Our SaaS network infrastructure is a critical part of our business operations. Our clients access our solution through standard web browsers, smart phones, tablets and other web-enabled devises, and depend on us for fast and reliable access to our solution. In the future, we may experience disruptions in our computing and communications infrastructure. Factors that may cause such disruptions include:
| human error; |
14
| security breaches; |
| telecommunications failures or outages from third-party providers; |
| computer viruses or cyber-attacks; |
| acts of terrorism, sabotage or other intentional acts of vandalism; |
| unforeseen interruption or damages experienced in moving hardware to a new location; |
| tornados, fires, earthquakes, floods and other natural disasters; and |
| power loss. |
If our SaaS network infrastructure or our clients ability to access to our solution is interrupted, client and employee data from recent transactions may be permanently lost and we could be exposed to significant claims by clients, particularly if the access interruption is associated with problems in the timely delivery of funds due to employees. Any significant instances of system downtime could negatively affect our reputation and ability to retain clients and sell our solution, which would adversely impact our revenue.
We have also experienced significant growth in the number of clients, transactions and client and employee data that our network infrastructure supports. We seek to maintain sufficient excess capacity in our network infrastructure to meet the needs of all of our clients and their employees and to facilitate the rapid provision of new client deployments and the expansion of existing client deployments. Any changes in the service levels at our data centers or any errors, defects, disruptions or other performance problems with our network infrastructure could adversely affect our reputation and may result in lengthy interruptions in the availability of our solution. Any interruptions in the availability of our solution might reduce our revenues, cause us to issue refunds to clients or adversely affect our retention of existing clients.
If our solution fails to perform properly, our reputation could be adversely affected and our market share could decline.
Our solution is inherently complex and may in the future contain, or develop, undetected defects or errors. Any defects in our applications could adversely affect our reputation, impair our ability to sell our applications in the future and result in significant costs to us. The costs incurred in correcting any application defects may be substantial and could adversely affect our business, operating results or financial condition. Any defects in functionality or that cause interruptions in the availability of our applications could result in:
| loss or delayed market acceptance and sales of our applications; |
| termination of service agreements or loss of clients; |
| credits or refunds to clients; |
| breach of contract, breach of warranty or indemnification claims against us, which may result in litigation; |
| diversion of development and service resources; and |
| injury to our reputation. |
Because of the large amount of data that we collect and manage, it is possible that hardware failures or errors in our systems could result in data loss or corruption, or cause the information that we collect to be incomplete or contain inaccuracies that our clients regard as significant. Furthermore, the availability or performance of our solution could be adversely affected by a number of factors, including the failure of our network system or solution or security breaches. We may be liable to our clients for damages they may incur resulting from certain of these events. In addition to potential liability, if we experience interruptions in the availability of our solution, our reputation could be adversely affected and we could lose clients.
15
Our clients might assert claims against us in the future alleging that they suffered damages due to a defect, error, or other failure of our solution. Our errors and omissions insurance may be inadequate or may not be available in the future on acceptable terms, or at all. In addition, our policy may not cover all claims made against us, and defending a suit, regardless of its merit, could be costly and divert managements attention.
If we do not effectively expand and train our sales force and our support teams, we may be unable to add new clients and retain existing clients.
We need to continue to expand our sales force and support team members in order to grow our client base and increase our revenues. Identifying and recruiting qualified personnel and training them in the use of our solution requires significant time, expense and attention and it can take a substantial amount of time before our sales representatives and support team members are fully-trained and productive. We may be unable to hire or retain sufficient numbers of qualified individuals in the markets where we currently, or intend in the future to do business, and our recent hires and planned hires may not achieve desired productivity levels in a reasonable period of time or become as productive as we expect. If these expansion efforts are unsuccessful or do not generate a corresponding increase in revenues, our business, operating results or financial condition could be adversely affected.
If we are not able to develop enhancements and new applications, keep pace with technological developments or respond to future disruptive technologies, we might not remain competitive and our business could be adversely affected.
Our future success will depend on our ability to adapt and innovate. To attract new clients and increase revenue from existing clients, we need to enhance, add new features and improve our existing applications and introduce new applications. The success of any enhancements or new features and applications depends on several factors, including timely completion, introduction and market acceptance. We may expend significant time and resources developing and pursuing sales of a particular application that may not result in revenues in the anticipated time frame or at all, or may not result in revenue growth sufficient to offset increased expenses. If we are unable to successfully develop enhancements, new features or new applications to meet client needs, our business and operating results could be adversely affected.
In addition, because our applications are designed to operate on a variety of network, hardware and software platforms using Internet tools and protocols, we will need to continuously modify and enhance our applications to keep pace with changes in Internet-related hardware, software, communication, browser and database technologies. If we are unable to respond in a timely and cost-effective manner to these rapid technological developments, our current and future applications may become less marketable and less competitive or even obsolete.
Our success is subject to the risk of future disruptive technologies. If new technologies emerge that are able to deliver HCM solutions at lower prices, more efficiently or more conveniently, such technologies could adversely impact our ability to compete.
The market for our solution among large companies may be limited if these companies demand customized features and functions that we do not offer.
Prospective clients, especially larger companies, may require customized features and functions unique to their business processes that we do not offer. In order to ensure we meet these requirements, we may devote a significant amount of support and services resources to larger prospective clients, increasing the cost and time required to complete sales with no guarantee that these clients will continue to use our solution. We may not be successful in implementing any customized features or functions. If prospective clients require customized features or functions that we do not offer, or that would be difficult for them to deploy themselves, then the market for our solution will be more limited and our business could be adversely affected.
16
Our business and operations are experiencing rapid growth and organizational change. If we fail to manage such growth and change effectively, we may be unable to execute our business plan, maintain high levels of service or adequately address competitive challenges.
We have experienced, and may continue to experience, rapid growth in our headcount and operations, which has placed, and may continue to place, significant demands on our management, operational and financial resources. For example, our headcount has grown from 523 employees as of December 31, 2011 to 840 employees as of December 31, 2013 and we have expanded from 18 offices as of December 31, 2011 to 24 offices as of December 31, 2013. We have also experienced significant growth in the number of clients, transactions and client and employee data that our infrastructure supports. Finally, our organizational structure and recording systems and procedures are becoming more complex as we improve our operational, financial and management controls. Our success will depend in part on our ability to manage this growth and organizational change effectively. To manage the expected growth of our headcount and operations, we will need to continue to improve our operational, financial and management controls and our reporting systems and procedures. Our ability to add additional offices may be constrained by the willingness and availability of qualified personnel to help staff and manage any new offices. The failure to effectively manage growth could result in difficulties or delays in obtaining clients, selling additional applications to our clients, declines in quality or client satisfaction of our applications, increases in costs, and difficulties in introducing new applications or other operational difficulties, any of which could adversely affect our ability to retain and attract clients or sell additional applications to our existing clients.
Our business, operating results or financial condition could be adversely affected if our clients are not satisfied with our deployment or technical support services.
Our business depends on our ability to satisfy our clients, both with respect to our applications and the technical support provided to help clients use the applications that address the needs of their businesses. We use our in-house deployment personnel to implement and configure our solution and provide support to our clients. If a client is not satisfied with the quality of our solution or the applications delivered or the support provided, we could be required to incur additional costs to address the situation, the profitability of our solution might be negatively affected, and the clients dissatisfaction with our deployment service could damage our ability to sell additional applications to that client. In addition, our sales process is highly dependent on the reputation of our solution and applications and on positive recommendations from our existing clients. Any failure to maintain high-quality technical support, or a market perception that we do not maintain high-quality support, could adversely affect our reputation, our ability to sell our applications to existing and prospective clients, and our business, operating results or financial condition.
If we fail to retain key employees and recruit qualified technical and sales personnel, our business could be adversely affected.
We believe that our success depends on the continued services of our senior management and other key employees, including Chad Richison, Craig E. Boelte, Jeffrey D. York and William X. Kerber III. In addition, because our future success is dependent on our ability to continue to enhance and introduce new applications, we are heavily dependent on our ability to attract and retain qualified software developers and IT personnel with the requisite education, background and industry experience. To continue to execute our growth strategy, we must also attract and retain qualified sales, marketing and operational personnel capable of supporting a larger and more diverse client base. The loss of the services of a significant number of our developers or sales professionals could be disruptive to our development efforts or business relationships. In addition, if any of our key employees joins a competitor or decides to otherwise compete with us, we may experience a material disruption of our operations and development plans, which may cause us to lose clients or increase operating expenses or divert managements attention to recruit replacements for the departed key employees.

Our financial results may fluctuate due to many factors, some of which may be beyond our control.
Our results of operations, including the levels of our revenues, costs of revenues, administrative expenses, operating income, cash flow and deferred revenue, may vary significantly in the future and the results of any one period should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance. Our financial results may fluctuate as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control, and as a result, may not fully reflect the underlying performance of our business. Fluctuation in our financial results may negatively impact the value of our common stock. Factors that may cause our financial results to fluctuate from period to period include, without limitation:
| our ability to attract new clients or sell additional applications to our existing clients; |
| the number of new clients and their employees, as compared to the number of existing clients and their employees in a particular period; |
| the mix of clients between small, mid-sized and large organizations; |
| the extent to which we retain existing clients and the expansion or contraction of our relationship with them; |
| the mix of applications sold during a period; |
| changes in our pricing policies or those of our competitors; |
| seasonal factors affecting payroll processing, demand for our applications or potential clients purchasing decisions; |
| the amount and timing of operating expenses, including those related to the maintenance and expansion of our business, operations and infrastructure; |
| the timing and success of new applications introduced by us and the timing of expenses related to the development of new applications and technologies; |
| the timing and success of current and new competitive products and services by our competitors; |
| economic conditions affecting our clients, including their ability to outsource HCM solutions and hire employees; |
| other changes in the competitive dynamics of our industry, including consolidation among competitors or clients; |
| our ability to manage our existing business and future growth, including expenses related to our data centers and the expansion of such data centers and the addition of new offices; |
| the effects and expenses of acquisition of third-party technologies or businesses and any potential future charges for impairment of goodwill resulting from those acquisitions; |
| network outages or security breaches; and |
| general economic, industry and market conditions. |
Certain of our operating results and financial metrics are difficult to predict as a result of seasonality.
We have historically experienced seasonality in our revenues because a significant portion of our recurring revenues relate to the annual processing of payroll forms such as Form W-2 and Form 1099. Because these forms are typically processed in the first quarter of the year, first quarter revenues are generally higher than subsequent quarters. We expect this seasonality to continue in the future, which may cause fluctuations in certain of our operating results and financial metrics, and thus make such results and metrics difficult to predict.
18
If we fail to adequately protect our proprietary rights, our competitive advantage could be impaired and we may lose valuable assets, generate reduced revenue or incur costly litigation to protect our rights.
Our success is dependent in part upon our intellectual property. We rely on a combination of copyrights, trademarks, service marks, trade secret laws and contractual restrictions to establish and to protect our intellectual property rights. However, the steps we take to protect our intellectual property may be inadequate. We will not be able to protect our intellectual property if we are unable to enforce our rights or if we do not detect unauthorized use of our intellectual property. Despite our precautions, it may be possible for unauthorized third parties to copy our applications and use information that we regard as proprietary to create products or services that compete with ours.
In order to protect our intellectual property rights, we may be required to spend significant resources to monitor and protect these rights. Litigation may be necessary in the future to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights and to protect our trade secrets and such litigation could be costly, time-consuming and distracting to management and could result in the impairment or loss of portions of our intellectual property. Furthermore, our efforts to enforce our intellectual property rights may be met with defenses, counterclaims and countersuits attacking the validity and enforceability of our intellectual property rights. We may not be able to secure, protect and enforce our intellectual property rights or control access to, and the distribution of, our solution and proprietary information.
We may be sued by third parties for alleged infringement of their proprietary rights.
There is considerable intellectual property development activity in our industry, and we expect that software developers will increasingly be subject to infringement claims as the number of applications and competitors grows and the functionality of applications in different industry segments overlaps. Our competitors, as well as a number of other entities and individuals, may own or claim to own intellectual property in technology areas relating to our solution or applications. From time to time, third parties have asserted and may in the future assert that we are infringing on their intellectual property rights, and we may be found to be infringing upon such rights. A claim of infringement may also be made relating to technology that we acquire or license from third parties. However, we may be unaware of the intellectual property rights of others that may cover, or may be alleged to cover, some or all of our solution or applications.
For example, on July 29, 2013, Dr. Lakshmi Arunachalam filed a complaint against us in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware alleging that Paycom Payroll, LLC, or Payroll, infringes on at least one claim of U.S. Patent No. 8,244,833 assigned to her. In her complaint, Dr. Arunachalam seeks a permanent injunction, damages and attorneys fees.
The outcome of the foregoing litigation matter is inherently unpredictable, and therefore as a result of this litigation matter or any future claim of infringement, a claim could (i) cause us to enter into an unfavorable royalty or license agreement, pay ongoing royalties or require that we comply with other unfavorable terms, (ii) require us to discontinue the sale of our solution or applications, (iii) require us to indemnify our clients or third-party service providers or (iv) require us to expend additional development resources to redesign our solution or applications. Any of these outcomes could harm our business. Even if we were to prevail, any litigation regarding our intellectual property could be costly and time consuming and divert the attention of our management and key personnel from our business and operations.
We employ third-party licensed software for use in our applications, and the inability to maintain these licenses or errors in the software we license could result in increased costs or reduced service levels, which could adversely affect our business.
Our applications incorporate certain third-party software obtained under licenses from other companies. We anticipate that we will continue to rely on such third-party software and development tools from third parties in
19
the future. Although we believe that there are commercially reasonable alternatives to the third-party software we currently license, this may not always be the case, or it may be difficult or costly to replace. In addition, integration of the software used in our applications with new third-party software may require significant work and substantial investment of our time and resources. Also, to the extent that our applications depend upon the successful operation of third-party software in conjunction with our software, any undetected errors or defects in this third-party software could prevent the deployment or impair the functionality of our applications, delay new application introductions, result in a failure of our applications and harm our reputation.
The use of open source software in our applications may expose us to additional risks and harm our intellectual property rights.
Some of our applications use software covered by open source licenses. From time to time, there have been claims challenging the ownership of open source software against companies that incorporate such software into their products or applications. As a result, we could be subject to suits by parties claiming ownership of what we believe to be open source software. Litigation could be costly for us to defend, have a negative effect on our operating results and financial condition or require us to devote additional development resources to change our applications. In addition, if we were to combine our applications with open source software in a certain manner, we could, under certain of the open source licenses, be required to release the source code of our applications. If we inappropriately use open source software, we may be required to redesign our applications, discontinue the sale of our applications or take other remedial actions.
The failure to develop our brand cost-effectively could have an adverse effect on our business.
We believe that developing and maintaining widespread awareness of our brand in a cost-effective manner is critical to achieving the widespread acceptance of our solution and is an important element in attracting new clients and retaining existing clients. Successful promotion of our brand will depend largely on the effectiveness of our marketing efforts and on our ability to provide reliable and useful applications at competitive prices. Brand promotion activities may not yield increased revenue, and even if they do, any increased revenue may not offset the expenses incurred in building our brand. If we fail to successfully promote and maintain our brand, or incur substantial expenses in an unsuccessful attempt to promote and maintain our brand, we may fail to attract enough new clients or retain our existing clients to the extent necessary to realize a sufficient return on our brand-building efforts, which could have an adverse effect on our business.
We might require additional capital to support business growth, and this capital might not be available on acceptable terms, if at all.
We have funded our operations since inception through equity financings and cash generated by operations. In the future, we may require additional capital to support our growth and respond to operational challenges, including the need to develop new features and applications or enhance our existing applications, improve our infrastructure or acquire complementary businesses and technologies. Accordingly, we may need to engage in equity or debt financings to secure additional funds. If we raise additional funds through further issuances of equity or convertible debt securities, our existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences and privileges superior to those of holders of our common stock. Any debt financing secured by us in the future could involve restrictive covenants relating to our capital raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities, including potential acquisitions. In addition, we may not be able to obtain additional financing on terms favorable to us, if at all. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us, when we require it, our ability to continue to support our growth and respond to challenges could be significantly limited.
20
We may acquire other businesses, applications or technologies, which could divert our managements attention, result in additional dilution to our stockholders and otherwise disrupt our operations and harm our operating results.
In the future, we may seek to acquire or invest in businesses, applications or technologies that we believe complement or expand our applications, enhance our technical capabilities or otherwise offer growth opportunities. The pursuit of potential acquisitions may divert the attention of management and cause us to incur expenses in identifying, investigating and pursuing suitable acquisitions, whether or not they are ultimately consummated.
We do not have any experience in acquiring other businesses. If we acquire additional businesses, we may not be able to integrate the acquired personnel, operations and technologies successfully or to effectively manage the combined business following the acquisition. We also may not achieve the anticipated benefits from the acquired business due to a number of factors, including:
| the inability to integrate or benefit from acquired applications or services in a profitable manner; |
| unanticipated costs or liabilities associated with the acquisition; |
| the incurrence of acquisition-related costs; |
| difficulty integrating the accounting systems, operations and personnel of the acquired business; |
| difficulty and additional expenses associated with supporting legacy products and hosting infrastructure of the acquired business; |
| difficulty converting the clients of the acquired business onto our solution, including disparities in the revenues, licensing, support or services of the acquired company; |
| diversion of managements attention from other business concerns; |
| harm to our existing relationships with clients as a result of the acquisition; |
| the potential loss of key employees; |
| the use of resources that are needed in other parts of our business; and |
| the use of substantial portions of our available cash to consummate the acquisition. |
In addition, a significant portion of the purchase price of any companies we acquire may be allocated to acquired goodwill and other intangible assets, which must be assessed for impairment at least annually. In the future, if our acquisitions do not yield expected returns, we may be required to take charges to our operating results based on this impairment assessment process, which could harm our results of operations. Acquisitions could also result in issuances of equity securities or the incurrence of debt, which would result in dilution to our stockholders.
Our growth depends in part on the success of our relationships with third parties.
We rely on third-party financial and accounting processing systems, as well as various financial institutions, to perform financial services in connection with our applications, such as providing automated clearing house, or ACH, and wire transfers as part of our payroll and expense reimbursement services and to provide technology and content support, manufacture time clocks and process background checks. We anticipate that we will continue to depend on various third-party relationships in order to grow our business, provide technology and content support, manufacture time clocks and process background checks. Identifying, negotiating and documenting relationships with these third parties and integrating third-party content and technology requires significant time and resources. Our agreements with third parties are typically non-exclusive and do not prohibit them from working with our competitors. In addition, these third parties may not perform as expected under our agreements, and we may have disagreements or disputes with such third parties, which could negatively affect
21
our brand and reputation. A global economic slowdown could also adversely affect the businesses of our third party providers, particularly those financial institutions that process transactions through the ACH network, and it is possible that they may not be able to devote the resources we expect to our relationship.
If we are unsuccessful in establishing or maintaining our relationships with these third parties, our ability to compete in the marketplace or to grow our revenue could be impaired and our business, operating results or financial condition could be adversely affected. Even if we are successful, these relationships may not result in improved operating results.
Adverse economic conditions could adversely affect our business, operating results or financial condition.
Our business depends on the overall demand for HCM applications and on the economic health of our current and prospective clients. If economic conditions in the United States remain uncertain or deteriorate, clients may cease their operations or delay or reduce their HCM spending or the number of their employees. This could result in reductions in sales of our applications, longer sales cycles, slower adoption of new technologies and increased price competition. In addition, there has been reduced government spending in the United States during 2013. This might reduce demand for our applications from organizations that receive funding from the U.S. government and could negatively affect the U.S. economy, which could further reduce demand for our applications. Any of these events could adversely affect our business, operating results or financial condition. In addition, HCM spending levels may not increase following any recovery.
If our goodwill or other intangible assets become impaired, we may be required to record a significant charge to earnings.
We are required to test goodwill for impairment at least annually or earlier if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. As of December 31, 2013, we had recorded a total of $51.9 million of goodwill and $6.7 million of other intangible assets. An adverse change in market conditions, particularly if such change has the effect of changing one of our critical assumptions or estimates made in connection with the impairment testing of goodwill or intangible assets, could result in a change to the estimation of fair value that could result in an impairment charge to our goodwill or other intangible assets. Any such material charges may have a negatively impact our operating results.
Because our long term success depends, in part, on our ability to expand the sales of our solution to customers located outside of the United States, our business will be subject to risks associated with international operations.
An element of our growth strategy is to expand our operations and client base. To date, we have not engaged in any operations outside of the United States. If we decide to expand our operations into international markets, it will require significant resources and management attention and will subject us to regulatory, economic and political risks that are different from those in the United States. Because of our lack of experience with international operations, we cannot assure you that our international expansion efforts will be successful.
Risks Related to Legislation or Regulation
Privacy concerns and laws or other domestic regulations may reduce the effectiveness of our applications.
Our applications require the storage and transmission of the proprietary and confidential information of our clients and their employees, including personal or identifying information, as well as their financial and payroll data. Personal privacy has become a significant issue in the United States. The regulatory framework for privacy issues is rapidly evolving and is likely to remain uncertain for the foreseeable future. Many federal, state and foreign government bodies and agencies have adopted or are considering adopting laws and regulations regarding the collection, use and disclosure of personal information. In the United States, these include rules and regulations promulgated under the authority of the Federal Trade Commission, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, the Family Medical Leave Act of 1993, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and state breach notification laws.
22
In addition to government regulation, privacy advocates and industry groups may propose new and different self-regulatory standards. Because the interpretation and application of privacy and data protection laws are still uncertain, it is possible that these laws may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent with our existing data management practices or the features of our solution. As such, in addition to the possibility of fines, lawsuits and other claims, we could be required to fundamentally change our business activities and practices or modify our solution, which could have an adverse effect on our business, operating results or financial condition. Any inability to adequately address privacy concerns, even if unfounded, or comply with applicable privacy or data protection laws, regulations and policies, could result in additional cost and liability to us, damage our reputation, inhibit sales and adversely affect our business, operating results or financial condition.
Furthermore, privacy concerns may cause our clients employees to resist providing the personal data necessary to allow our clients or their employees to use our applications effectively. Even the perception of privacy concerns, whether or not valid, may inhibit market adoption of our applications in certain industries. All of these legislative and regulatory initiatives may adversely affect the ability of our clients to process, handle, store, use and transmit demographic and personal information from their employees, which could reduce demand for our applications.
Changes in laws and regulations related to the Internet or changes in the Internet infrastructure itself may diminish the demand for our applications, and could have a negative impact on our business.
The future success of our business depends upon the continued use of the Internet as a primary medium for commerce, communication and business. Federal, state and foreign government bodies or agencies have in the past adopted, and may in the future adopt, laws or regulations affecting the use of the Internet as a commercial medium. Changes in these laws or regulations could require us to modify our applications in order to comply with these changes. In addition, government agencies or private organizations may impose taxes, fees or other charges for accessing the Internet or commerce conducted via the Internet. These laws or charges could limit the growth of Internet-related commerce or communications generally, or result in reductions in the demand for Internet-based applications such as ours.
In addition, the use of the Internet as a means of conducting business could be adversely affected due to delays in the development or adoption of new standards and protocols to handle increased demands of Internet activity, security, reliability, cost, ease of use, accessibility, and quality of service. The performance of the Internet has been adversely affected by viruses, worms and similar malicious programs and the Internet has experienced a variety of outages and other delays as a result of damage to portions of its infrastructure. If the use of the Internet is adversely affected by these issues, demand for our applications could suffer.
If we are unable to implement and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting in the future, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports and the market price of our common stock may be negatively affected.
We will be required, pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, to furnish a report by management on, among other things, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for the first fiscal year beginning after the effective date of this offering and in each year thereafter. Our auditors will also need to attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in the future to the extent we are no longer an emerging growth company, as defined by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, or the JOBS Act, and are not a smaller reporting company.
If we have a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, we may not detect errors on a timely basis and our financial statements may be materially misstated. We are in the process of designing and implementing the internal control over financial reporting to comply with this obligation, which process will be time consuming, costly and complicated. If we identify material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, if we are unable to comply with the requirements of Section 404 in a timely manner, if we are unable to assert that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, or if our independent registered public
23
accounting firm is unable to express an opinion as to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports we could become subject to investigations by the NYSE, the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, or other regulatory authorities and the market price of our common stock could be negatively affected.
We will incur increased costs and demands upon management as a result of complying with the laws and regulations affecting public companies, which could adversely affect our operating results.
As a public company, we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company, including costs associated with public company reporting and corporate governance requirements. For example, we will be subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, and will be required to comply with the applicable requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as well as rules and regulations subsequently implemented by the SEC and the NYSE, including the establishment and maintenance of effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting and changes in corporate governance practices.
We expect that complying with these rules and regulations will substantially increase our legal and financial compliance costs and make some activities more time-consuming and costly. In addition, our management team will have to adapt to the requirements of being a public company. In particular, we expect to incur significant expenses and devote substantial management effort toward ensuring compliance with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which will increase to the extent we are no longer an emerging growth company, as defined by the JOBS Act, and are not a smaller reporting company. We cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur as a result of becoming a public company or the timing of such costs, which could adversely affect our operating results.
The increased costs associated with operating as a public company may decrease our net income or result in a net loss and may require us to reduce costs in other areas of our business or increase the prices of our solution. Additionally, if these requirements divert managements attention from other business concerns, they could have an adverse effect on our business, operating results or financial condition.
As a public company, we also expect that it may be more difficult or more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on our board of directors or as our executive officers.
We are an emerging growth company and the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies may make our common stock less attractive to investors.
We are an emerging growth company. Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have irrevocably elected not to avail ourselves of this exemption from new or revised accounting standards and, therefore, we will be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. Pursuant to Section 102 of the JOBS Act, we have reduced executive compensation disclosure and have omitted a Compensation Discussion and Analysis from this prospectus.
For as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, we intend to take advantage of certain other exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies including reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation, the frequency of the nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved and the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the
24
Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Investors may find our common stock less attractive because we will rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.
We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (i) the end of the fiscal year in which the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of June 30th, (ii) the end of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenues of $1 billion or more during such fiscal year, (iii) the date on which we issue more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt in a three-year period and (iv) the end of the fiscal year following the five year anniversary of the date of this prospectus.
Adverse tax laws or regulations could be enacted or existing laws could be applied to us or our clients, which could increase the costs of our solution and applications and could adversely affect our business, operating results or financial condition.
The application of federal, state and local tax laws to services provided electronically is evolving. New income, sales, use or other tax laws, statutes, rules, regulations or ordinances could be enacted at any time (possibly with retroactive effect), and could be applied solely or disproportionately to services and applications provided over the Internet. These enactments could adversely affect our sales activity, due to the inherent cost increase the taxes would represent and ultimately could adversely affect our business, operating results or financial condition.
In addition, existing tax laws, statutes, rules, regulations or ordinances could be interpreted, changed, modified or applied adversely to us (possibly with retroactive effect), which could require us or our clients to pay additional tax amounts, as well as require us or our clients to pay fines or penalties and interest for past amounts. If we are unsuccessful in collecting such taxes from our clients, we could be held liable for such costs, thereby adversely affecting our business, operating results or financial condition.
Risks Related to this Offering and Ownership of our Common Stock
There has been no prior public market for our common stock, the price of our common stock may be volatile or may decline regardless of our operating performance, and you may not be able to resell your shares at or above the initial public offering price.
There has been no public market for our common stock prior to this initial public offering. The initial public offering price for our common stock was determined through negotiations between the underwriters and us and may vary from the market price of our common stock following our initial public offering. If you purchase shares of our common stock in our initial public offering, you may not be able to resell those shares at or above the initial public offering price. An active or liquid market in our common stock may not develop upon closing of our initial public offering or, if it does develop, it may not be sustainable. The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control, including:
| our operating performance and the performance of other similar companies; |
| the overall performance of the equity markets; |
| announcements by us or our competitors of new applications or enhancements, acquisitions, applications, services, strategic alliances, commercial relationships, joint ventures or capital commitments; |
| disruptions in our services due to hardware, software or network problems; |
| recruitment or departure of key personnel; |
| publication of unfavorable research reports about us or our industry or withdrawal of research coverage by securities analysts; |
25
| trading activity by a limited number of stockholders who together beneficially own a majority of our outstanding common stock; |
| the size of our public float; |
| the economy as a whole, market conditions in our industry and the industries of our clients; and |
| economic, legal and regulatory factors unrelated to our performance. |
In addition, the stock markets have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect the market prices of equity securities of many technology companies. Stock prices of many technology companies have fluctuated in a manner unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. In the past, stockholders have filed securities class actions following periods of market volatility. If we were to become involved in securities litigation, it could subject us to substantial costs, divert resources and the attention of management from our business, and adversely affect our business, operating results or financial condition.
Substantial blocks of our total outstanding shares may be sold into the market when the lock-up period ends. If there are substantial sales of shares of our common stock, the price of our common stock could decline.
The price of our common stock could decline if there are substantial sales of our common stock, particularly sales by our directors, executive officers and significant stockholders, or if there is a large number of shares of our common stock available for sale. Upon the completion of this offering, we expect to have 50,333,739 shares of our common stock outstanding. All of the shares of common stock sold in this offering will be eligible for sale in the public market, unless they are held by our affiliates. Shares held by directors, executive officers and other affiliates will be subject to volume limitations under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and various restricted stock award agreements.
After our initial public offering, certain of our stockholders will be subject to lock-up agreements with the underwriters or us that restrict their ability to sell shares of common stock until 181 days after the date of this prospectus. After the lock-up agreements expire, an additional 43,611,701 shares of common stock will be eligible for sale in the public market, subject in many cases to the limitations of either Rule 144 or Rule 701 under the Securities Act. Upon completion of this offering, stockholders owning an aggregate of up to 38,728,664 shares of common stock will be entitled, under a registration rights agreement, to require us to register shares of our common stock owned by them for public sale in the United States. We also intend to register shares of common stock that we have issued and may issue under our employee equity incentive plans. Once we register these shares, they will be able to be sold freely in the public market upon issuance, subject to existing lock-up agreements.
Barclays Capital Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, on behalf of the underwriters, may in their discretion permit our stockholders to sell shares prior to the expiration of the restrictive provisions contained in those lock-up agreements. The market price of the shares of our common stock could decline as a result of the sale of a substantial number of our shares of common stock in the public market, the availability of shares for sale or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares intend to sell their shares. In addition, the sale of these shares by stockholders could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional stock.
If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish misleading or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price and trading volume could decline.
The trading market for our common stock depends in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. If no or few securities or industry analysts cover our company, the trading price for our common stock would be negatively impacted. If one or more of the analysts who covers
26
us downgrades our stock or publishes incorrect or unfavorable research about our business, our common stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of our company or fails to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our common stock could decrease, which could cause our common stock price or trading volume to decline.
Our principal stockholders will hold a controlling interest after this offering and may make business decisions with which you disagree and which may adversely affect the value of your investment.
After this offering, the parties to the Stockholders Agreement, which includes Chad Richison, Shannon Rowe, William X. Kerber, III, Jeffrey D. York, Robert J. Levenson and the Estate of Richard Aiello and certain of their affiliates or related entities, and the WCAS Funds, or collectively, the Stockholders Agreement Parties, will beneficially own or control, directly or indirectly, 41,111,514 shares of our common stock in the aggregate, or approximately 81.7% of our outstanding shares, or, if the underwriters option to purchase additional shares is exercised in full, 40,114,764 shares of common stock in the aggregate equal to approximately 79.7% of our outstanding shares. As a result of this ownership and the provisions of the Stockholders Agreement, the WCAS Funds will have the ability to control matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including the election and removal of directors, amendments to our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and the approval of any business combination. These actions may be taken even if they are opposed by other stockholders. This concentration of ownership may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of our company or discouraging others from making tender offers for our shares, which could prevent our stockholders from receiving a premium for their shares.
Some of these persons or entities may have interests different than yours. For example, because many of these stockholders purchased their shares at prices substantially below the price at which shares are being sold in this offering and have held their shares for a longer period, they may be more interested in selling our company to an acquiror than other investors or may want us to pursue strategies that deviate from the interests of other stockholders.
We will be deemed a controlled company and, as a result, will qualify for, and intend to rely on, exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements.
After this offering, the Stockholders Agreement Parties will continue to own common stock representing a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock. So long as such persons collectively own a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock, we will be a controlled company within the meaning of corporate governance standards of the NYSE. Under those standards, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors is held by another company or group is a controlled company and need not comply with certain requirements, including (1) the requirement that a majority of the board of directors consist of independent directors, (2) the requirement that there be a nominating and corporate governance committee composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committees purpose and responsibilities, (3) the requirement that there be a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committees purpose and responsibilities and (4) the requirement of an annual performance evaluation of the nominating/corporate governance and compensation committees. We intend to rely on certain of these exemptions following the offering, and may rely on any of these exemptions for so long as we are a controlled company. As a result, we will not have a majority of independent directors on our board of directors, and our compensation committee will not consist entirely of independent directors. If we are no longer eligible to rely on the controlled company exception, we intend to comply with all applicable corporate governance requirements, but we will be able to rely on phase-in periods for certain of these requirements in accordance with the NYSEs rules. Accordingly, our stockholders may not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all NYSE corporate governance requirements.
27
As a new investor, you will incur immediate and substantial dilution as a result of this offering.
The initial public offering price will be substantially higher than the pro forma net tangible book value per share of our outstanding common stock. As a result, investors purchasing common stock in this offering will incur immediate dilution of $18.57 per share, based on an assumed initial public offering price of $19.00 per share, which is the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of the prospectus, and new investors from our sale of shares of our common stock in this offering will own approximately 9.2% of our outstanding common stock. This dilution is due in large part to earlier investors having generally paid substantially less than the initial public offering price when they purchased their shares. In addition, the vesting of restricted stock will, and future equity issuances may, result in further dilution to investors.
The issuance of additional stock in connection with acquisitions, our stock incentive plans, warrants or otherwise will dilute all other stockholdings.
After this offering, our certificate of incorporation will authorize us to issue up to one hundred million shares of common stock and up to ten million shares of preferred stock with such rights and preferences as may be determined by our board of directors. Subject to compliance with applicable rules and regulations, we may issue all of these shares that are not already outstanding without any action or approval by our stockholders. We intend to continue to evaluate strategic acquisitions in the future. We may pay for such acquisitions, partly or in full, through the issuance of additional equity securities.
Any issuance of shares in connection with our acquisitions, the exercise of stock options or warrants, the award of shares of restricted stock or otherwise would dilute the percentage ownership held by the investors who purchase our shares in this offering.
We have broad discretion in the use of a portion of the net proceeds from our initial public offering and may not use them effectively.
We cannot specify with any certainty the particular uses of a portion of the net proceeds that we will receive from our initial public offering. We will have broad discretion in the application of these proceeds, including working capital, possible acquisitions and other general corporate purposes, and we may spend or invest these proceeds in a way with which our stockholders disagree. The failure by our management to apply these proceeds effectively could adversely affect our business, operating results or financial condition. Pending their use, we may invest these proceeds in a manner that does not produce income or that loses value. These investments may not yield a favorable return to our investors.
We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.
We currently intend to retain any future earnings to finance the operation and expansion of our business, and we do not expect to declare or pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, stockholders must rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize any future gains on their investment.
Anti-takeover provisions in our charter documents and Delaware law may delay or prevent an acquisition of our company.
Our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and Delaware law contain provisions that may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of us or changes in our management. These provisions, alone or together, could delay or prevent hostile takeovers and changes in control or changes in our management. For information regarding these and other provisions, see Description of Capital Stock.
Any provision of our certificate of incorporation, bylaws or Delaware law that has the effect of delaying or deterring a change in control could limit the opportunity for our stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of our common stock, and could affect the price that some investors are willing to pay for our common stock.

Software is a newly formed Delaware corporation that was an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings prior to the Reorganization. In anticipation of this offering, Software consummated the Reorganization, as of January 1, 2014, pursuant to which (i) the owners of WCAS Holdings and WCAS CP IV Blocker, Inc., or CP IV Blocker, which are affiliates of Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe, contributed WCAS Holdings and CP IV Blocker, which collectively own all of the Series A Preferred Units of Holdings, to Software in exchange for shares of common stock of Software and (ii) the owners of outstanding Series B Preferred Units of Holdings contributed their Series B Preferred Units for shares of common stock of Software.
Immediately after these contributions, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Software merged with and into Holdings with Holdings surviving the merger. Upon consummation of the merger, the remaining holders of outstanding common and incentive units of Holdings received shares of common stock of Software for their common and incentive units by operation of Delaware law and Holdings ownership interest in Software was cancelled. Outstanding common units, Series B Preferred Units and WCAS Holdings and CP IV Blocker were contributed to Software in exchange for, or converted into, 45,708,573 shares of common stock and 8,121,101 restricted shares of common stock of Software.
Following these transactions, all outstanding Series C Preferred Units were eliminated in an intercompany transaction between Holdings and WCAS Holdings, and we assumed the 14% Note due 2017 issued by WCAS Holdings, or the 2017 Note. Following the Reorganization, Software became a holding company with its principal asset being the units of Holdings. We refer to these transactions collectively as the Reorganization. Unless otherwise indicated, or the context otherwise requires, all information in this prospectus is presented giving effect to the Reorganization. For additional information concerning the conversion rates in the Reorganization, see Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information, Note 1. Basis of Presentation, which description is incorporated by reference herein.
The following diagram depicts our corporate structure immediately after the completion of this offering. We will directly or indirectly hold 100% of the ownership interests in each of our subsidiaries:

We estimate that our net proceeds from the sale of the common stock that we are offering will be approximately $78.0 million, assuming an initial public offering price of $19.00 per share, which is the midpoint of the price range on the cover page of this prospectus, and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. A $1.00 increase or decrease in the assumed initial public offering price of $19.00 per share would increase or decrease, as applicable, the net proceeds to us from our initial public offering by $4.3 million, assuming the number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same, after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.
We intend to use the net proceeds we receive from this offering for (i) the repayment of a 10% Senior Note due 2022, or the 2022 Note, issued by us to an affiliate of Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe, (ii) the repayment of the 2017 Note, assumed in the Reorganization and (iii) general corporate purposes, including additions to working capital and capital expenditures. We intend to use the following amounts of the net proceeds for the above uses:

(1) | We are required to direct a portion of any repayment of the 2017 Note to the Estate of Richard Aiello and Mr. Levenson and certain of their affiliated or related entities pursuant to the terms of a Contribution Agreement entered into in connection with the Reorganization. See Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions Contribution Agreement. |
(2) | As of December 31, 2013, we had $18.8 million outstanding under the 2022 Note. The 2022 Note accrues interest at 10% per annum and matures on April 3, 2022. |
(3) | As of December 31, 2013, we had Series C Preferred Units outstanding. In connection with the Reorganization, we eliminated the Series C Preferred Units as an intercompany transaction, and assumed the 2017 Note. The 2017 Note accrues interest at 14% per annum and matures on April 3, 2017. Any amounts paid to the Estate of Richard Aiello and Mr. Levenson and certain of their affiliated or related entities as described in Note (1) above will be deemed to have been paid to WCAS X and WCAS Management Corporation, and will reduce the amounts required to be paid under the 2017 Note. |
Pending other uses, we intend to invest the proceeds in interest-bearing, investment-grade instruments, certificates of deposit or direct or guaranteed obligations of the U.S. government, or we may hold the proceeds as cash. We cannot predict whether the proceeds invested will yield a favorable return. Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds we receive from our initial public offering, and investors will be relying on the judgment of our management regarding the application of the net proceeds.
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares offered by the selling stockholders, who include a director and certain entities affiliated with members of our board of directors.
32
We do not currently plan to pay a regular dividend on our common stock following this offering. The declaration, amount and payment of any future dividends on shares of common stock will be at the sole discretion of our board of directors and we may reduce or discontinue entirely the payment of such dividends at any time. Our board of directors may take into account general and economic conditions, our financial condition and operating results, our available cash and current and anticipated cash needs, capital requirements, contractual, legal, tax and regulatory restrictions and implications of the payment of dividends by us to our stockholders or by our subsidiaries to us, and such other factors as our board of directors may deem relevant. Our Consolidated, Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, or the 2011 Consolidated Loan, and Loan Agreement, or the 2013 Consolidated Loan, with Kirkpatrick Bank each prohibit the payment of dividends while an event of default exists under the Consolidated Loan or the Construction Loan, respectively, and any future debt agreements that we may enter into the future may prohibit the payment of dividends.
We are a holding company that has no material assets other than our indirect ownership of all of the outstanding units of Holdings. In the event that we decide to pay dividends in the future, we intend to cause Holdings to make distributions to us in an amount sufficient to cover cash dividends, if any, declared by us. Any financing arrangements that we enter into in the future may include restrictive covenants that limit our or our subsidiaries ability to pay dividends.
In April 2011 and September 2011, we paid cash distributions of $432,000 and $1,300, respectively, to our common unit holders for the payment of taxes. In April 2012 and October 2012, we paid cash distributions of $120,000 and $2,000, respectively, to our common unit holders for the payment of taxes. We also paid a cash distribution of $18,807,000 to our common unit holders in April 2012 as part of the April 2012 Corporate Reorganization (as defined herein). In April 2013 and December 2013, we paid cash distributions of $1,766,000 and $4,000,000, respectively, to our common unit holders and Series A Preferred unit holders for the payment of taxes.

If you invest in our common stock, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value of your shares. Dilution in pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value represents the difference between the public offering price per share of our common stock in this offering and the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately after the offering.
Our pro forma net tangible book value as of December 31, 2013 was $(53.5) million, or $(1.17) per share of common stock. Our pro forma net tangible book value per share represents the amount of our total tangible assets reduced by the amount of our total liabilities and divided by the total number of shares of our common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2013, after giving effect to the Reorganization.
After giving effect to our sale in our initial public offering of 4,606,882 shares of common stock at an assumed initial public offering price of $19.00 per share, which is the midpoint of the price range on the cover page of this prospectus, and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of December 31, 2013 would have been approximately $21.5 million, or $0.43 per share of common stock. This represents an immediate increase in pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value of $1.60 per share to our existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of $18.57 per share to investors purchasing shares in our initial public offering.
The following table illustrates this per share dilution:

A $1.00 increase or decrease in the assumed initial public offering price of $19.00 per share, which is the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, would increase or decrease, as applicable, our pro forma net tangible book value per share after our initial public offering by $0.08, assuming that the number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same, after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.
The following table summarizes on a pro forma as adjusted basis as of December 31, 2013, after giving effect to the Reorganization, the differences between the number of shares of our common stock purchased from us, the total cash consideration paid and the average price per share paid by our existing stockholders and by our new investors purchasing shares in our initial public offering at the assumed initial public offering price of the common stock of $19.00 per share, which is the midpoint of the price range on the cover page of this prospectus, before deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us:

A $1.00 increase or decrease in the assumed initial public offering price of $19.00 per share, which is the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, would increase or decrease, as applicable, the total consideration paid by new investors by $4.3 million, assuming that the number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same, and before deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.
If the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full, our existing stockholders would own 90.8% and our new investors would own 9.2% of the total number of shares of our common stock outstanding after our initial public offering.
The number of common shares shown above to be outstanding after this offering is based on 50,315,455 shares of our common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2013 after giving effect to the Reorganization and excludes the following:
| 8,121,101 shares of restricted common stock that are subject to time-based or performance-based vesting conditions, which includes 217,378 shares of restricted stock that vest upon the sale of our common stock in the initial public offering; |
| 3,229,780 shares of our common stock reserved for future issuance under the 2014 Plan that we adopted in connection with the Reorganization; and |
| any exercise by the underwriters of their option to purchase 996,750 additional shares of our common stock from the selling stockholders. |

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
1. | Basis of Presentation |
The historical financial information has been adjusted to give pro forma effect to events that are (i) directly attributable to the Reorganization and this offering, (ii) factually supportable, and (iii) with respect to the statements of income, expected to have a continuing impact on the future results.
Our historical results are derived from our audited consolidated statements of income of Holdings for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 and audited consolidated balance sheet of Holdings as of December 31, 2013 under U.S. GAAP.
Description of the Transaction
In anticipation of this offering, Software consummated the Reorganization as of January 1, 2014, pursuant to which (i) the owners of WCAS Holdings and CP IV Blocker, which are affiliates of Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe, contributed WCAS Holdings and CP IV Blocker, which collectively own all of the Series A Preferred Units of Holdings, to Software in exchange for shares of common stock of Software and (ii) the owners of outstanding Series B Preferred Units of Holdings contributed their Series B Preferred Units for shares of common stock of Software. Immediately after these contributions, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Software merged with and into Holdings with Holdings surviving the merger. Upon consummation of the merger, the remaining holders of outstanding common and incentive units of Holdings received shares of common stock of Software for their common and incentive units by operation of Delaware law and Holdings ownership in Software was cancelled. This resulted in Software controlling, directly or indirectly, Holdings, including Payroll, WCAS Holdings and CP IV Blocker. Outstanding common units, Series B Preferred Units, and incentive units of Holdings were converted into 45,708,573 shares of common stock and 8,121,101 shares of restricted stock of Software at the following conversion rates:
| Outstanding common units, Series B Preferred Units, WCAS Holdings and CP IV Blocker were contributed to Software in exchange for, or converted into, the number of shares of common stock determined by a ratio of common units, Series B Preferred Units and Series A Preferred Units to shares of common stock of approximately 1:47, resulting in issuance of 44,560,053 shares of common stock. |
| Vested incentive units were converted to shares of common stock and restricted stock at various conversion ratios, which ranged from approximately 1:0.2 to 1:24. Unvested incentive units were converted to shares of restricted stock at various conversion ratios, which ranged from 1:24 to 1:47. The conversion to shares of common stock versus restricted stock was determined based on the underlying conditions of the pre-conversion incentive units, reflecting any pre-existing vesting conditions. This resulted in the issuance of 1,148,520 and 8,121,101 shares of common stock and restricted stock, respectively. |
The restricted stock was issued subject to various vesting conditions. A portion of the restricted stock is subject to a time-based vesting condition while the remaining portion is subject to performance-based vesting conditions. The performance-based vesting is based on the Companys total enterprise value exceeding certain specified thresholds. For additional information concerning the vesting conditions of the restricted stock, see Executive CompensationNarrative Discussion Regarding Summary Compensation TableEquity Incentive Units and Restricted Stock Awards.
Following these transactions, Series C Preferred Units of Holdings were eliminated as an intercompany transaction between Holdings and WCAS Holdings, and the 2017 Note, which was a 14% related party note issued by WCAS Holdings to its parent, WCAS Fund X L.P., was recorded upon the inclusion of WCAS Holdings. Following the Reorganization, Software became a holding company with its principal asset being the units in Holdings. Software was formed for purposes of this offering and has to date, engaged only in activities in contemplation of this offering. See The Reorganization.
44
WCAS Holdings and CP IV Blocker do not have any independent operations or any significant assets or liabilities and do not comprise a business. The acquisition of WCAS Holdings is deemed to be a reorganization under common control and therefore its underlying assets and liabilities are not required to be re-measured at fair value on the acquisition date. The acquisition of CP IV Blocker is not deemed to be a reorganization under common control and therefore the underlying assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value on their acquisition date.

Any additional net offering proceeds have been excluded for purposes of the pro forma financial information. |
The 2022 Note was issued at a discount of $2.4 million and also contained a prepayment feature which was valued at $2.0 million. The prepayment feature was recorded as a derivative liability at inception and is recorded at fair value at December 31, 2013.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with the audited and unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties. See Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks, and assumptions associated with those statements. Actual results could differ materially from those discussed in or implied by forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those discussed below and elsewhere in this prospectus, particularly in the section entitled Risk Factors.
Overview
We are a leading provider of a comprehensive, cloud-based HCM software solution delivered as SaaS. We provide functionality and data analytics that businesses need to manage the complete employment life cycle from recruitment to retirement. Our solution requires virtually no customization and is based on a core system of record maintained in a single database for all HCM functions, including talent acquisition, time and labor management, payroll, talent management and HR management applications. Our user-friendly software allows for easy adoption of our solution by employees, enabling self-management of their HCM activities in the cloud, which reduces the administrative burden on employers and increases employee productivity.
We serve a diverse client base in terms of size and industry. We have over 10,000 clients, none of which constituted more than one-half of one percent of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2013. We stored data for more than 1,000,000 persons employed by our clients during the year ended December 31, 2013.
Our revenues are primarily generated through our sales force that solicits new clients and our client relations representatives, or CRRs, who sell new applications to existing clients. We have 30 sales teams located in 20 states and plan to open additional sales offices to further expand our presence in the U.S. market. In recent years, we have opened three to four new sales offices in new cities per year and believe that we can increase this annual number to four to six new sales offices in the future.
Our continued growth depends on attracting new clients through geographic expansion, further penetration of our existing markets and the introduction of new applications to our existing client base. We also expect a portion of our growth to generally mirror improvements in the labor market. Our principal marketing programs include telemarketing and email campaigns, search engine marketing methods and national radio advertising.
During the last three years, we have developed several new applications. Our ability to continue to develop new applications and to improve existing applications will enable us to increase revenues in the future, and the number of our new applications adopted by our clients has been a significant factor in our revenue growth over the last three years.
The Reorganization
In anticipation of this offering, we consummated the Reorganization, as of January 1, 2014. Following the Reorganization, Software became a holding company, the principal asset of which is the units in Holdings. The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations covers periods prior to the Reorganization and reflects the operations of Holdings and its consolidated subsidiary.
Trends, Opportunities and Challenges
While we currently derive most of our revenues from payroll processing, we expect an increasing percentage of our recurring revenues to come from our additional HCM applications over time. For example, approximately 58%, 60% and 68% of our revenues for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011,
47
respectively, were derived from payroll processing. Our payroll application is the foundation of our solution and all of our clients are required to utilize this application in order to access our other applications. As a result of our evolving revenue mix, coupled with the unique client benefits that our solution provides (e.g., enabling our clients to scale the number of HCM applications that they use on an as-needed basis), we are presented with a variety of opportunities, challenges and risks.
We generate revenues from (i) fixed amounts charged per billing period or (ii) fixed amounts charged per billing period plus a fee per employee or transaction processed. We do not require clients to enter into long-term contractual commitments with us. Our billing period varies by client based on when they pay their employees, which is either weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly or monthly.
We do not have a traditional subscription-based revenue model and do not enter into long-term contractual commitments with our clients. We believe that the traditional subscription model hinders the buying decision by requiring clients to make significant commitments at inception, as well as at the end of each subscription term. By allowing clients to discontinue the use of our solution with 30 days notice, our team of trained specialists must focus on providing the best client service. In contrast, a long-term contract often forces a client to continue using a product that may not entirely fit its needs or, in some cases, incur expensive termination fees. Because of our sales model and personalized service, we have maintained high client satisfaction, as evidenced by an average annual revenue retention rate of 91% from existing clients for the three years ended December 31, 2013.
For the year ended December 31, 2013, our gross margin was approximately 81%. We expect changes in our revenue mix to continue to improve gross margins as our current gross margin for our HCM applications is higher than our gross margin for payroll processing. We expect that our total gross margin will gradually improve over time as (i) we add additional clients, (ii) our existing clients deploy additional HCM applications and (iii) we reduce our costs of revenues and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues.
Growing our business has also resulted in, and will continue to result in, substantial investment in sales professionals, operating expenses, systems development and programming costs and general and administrative expenses, which has and will continue to increase our expenses. We intend to obtain new clients by (i) continuing to expand our presence in metropolitan areas where we currently have an existing sales office through adding sales teams or offices and increasing the number of our sales professionals and (ii) opening sales offices in new metropolitan areas. Our ability to increase revenues and improve operating results depend on our ability to add new clients.
As we have organically grown our operations and increased the number of our applications, the average size of our clients has also grown significantly. Based on our total revenues, we have grown at an approximately 38% CAGR since 2009. Because we charge our clients on a per employee basis for certain services we provide, any increase or decrease in the number of employees that our clients have will have a positive or negative impact on our results of operations. Our solution requires no adjustment to serve larger clients. We believe larger employers represent a substantial opportunity to increase the number of potential clients and to increase our revenue per client, with limited incremental cost to us. From January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2013, we increased our annualized recurring revenue per average client by 52.7% in part by targeting larger clients and enlarging our existing client relationships.
Throughout our history, we have built strong relationships with our clients. As the HCM needs of our clients evolve, we believe that we are well-positioned to gain additional share of their HCM spending of our clients, and we believe this opportunity is significant. To be successful, we must continue to demonstrate the operational and economic benefits of our solution, as well as effectively hire, train, motivate and retain qualified personnel and executive officers.

Key Metrics
In addition to the U.S. GAAP metrics that we regularly monitor, we also monitor the following metrics to evaluate our business, measure our performance and identify trends affecting our business:

| Clients. When we calculate the number of clients, we treat client accounts with separate taxpayer identification numbers as separate clients, which often separates client accounts that are affiliated with the same parent organization. We track the number of our clients as it provides an accurate gauge of the size of our business. Unless we state otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to clients throughout this prospectus refer to this metric. |
| Clients (based on parent company grouping). When we calculate the number of clients based on parent company grouping, we combine client accounts that have identified the same person(s) as their decision-maker regardless of whether the client accounts have separate taxpayer identification numbers, which often combines client accounts that are affiliated with the same parent organization. We track the number of our clients based on parent company grouping as it provides an alternate measure of the size of our business and clients. |
| Sales Teams. We monitor our sales professionals by the number of sales teams and each team is comprised of approximately seven to nine sales professionals. Certain larger metropolitan areas can support more than one sales team. We believe that the number of sales teams is an indicator of revenue for future periods. |
| Annualized New Recurring Revenue. While we do not enter into long-term contractual commitments with our clients, we monitor annualized new recurring revenue as we believe it is an indicator of revenue for future periods. Annualized new recurring revenue is an estimate based on the annualized amount of the first full month of revenue attributable to new clients that were added or existing clients that purchased additional applications during the period presented. Annualized new recurring revenue only includes revenues from these clients who have used our solution for at least one month during the period. Since annualized new recurring revenue is only recorded after a client uses our solution for one month, it includes revenue that has been recognized in historical periods. |
| Revenue Retention Rate. Our average annual revenue retention rate tracks the percentage of revenue that we retain from our existing clients. We monitor this metric because it is an indicator of client satisfaction and revenue for future periods. |
Components of Results of Operations
Sources of Revenues
Revenues are comprised of recurring revenues, and implementation and other revenues. Recurring revenues are recognized in the period services are rendered. Implementation and other revenues includes implementation revenues that are recorded as deferred revenues and recognized over the life of the client which is estimated to be ten years and other revenues which are recognized upon shipment of time clocks. Implementation and other revenue comprised approximately 1.9% of our total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2013. We expect
49
our revenues to increase as we introduce new applications, expand our client base and renew and expand relationships with existing clients. As a percentage of total revenues, we expect our mix of recurring revenues, and implementation and other revenues to remain relatively constant.
Recurring. Recurring revenues include fees for our talent acquisition, time and labor management, payroll, talent management and HR management applications as well as fees charged for delivery of client payroll checks and reports. These revenues are derived from: (i) fixed amounts charged per processing period or (ii) fixed amounts charged per processing period plus a fee per employee or transaction processed. Because recurring revenues are based in part on fees for use of our applications and the delivery of checks and reports that are levied on a per-employee basis, our recurring revenues increase as our clients hire more employees.
Implementation and Other. Implementation and other revenues are comprised of implementation fees for the deployment of our solution and other revenue from sales of time clocks as part of our time and attendance services. Non-refundable implementation fees which are charged to new clients are generated at inception for a new client and upon the addition of certain incremental applications for existing clients. These fees range from 10% to 30% of the annualized value of the transaction.
Expenses
Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues consists of expenses related to hosting and supporting our applications, hardware costs, systems support and technology and depreciation of certain owned computer equipment. These costs include employee-related expenses for client support personnel, bank charges for processing ACH transactions, along with delivery charges and paper costs. They also include our cost for clocks held for sale and ongoing technology and support costs related to our systems. Depreciation of owned computer equipment is allocated based upon an estimate of assets used to host and support our applications. We expect our cost of revenues to increase as we continue to invest in new applications and expand our client base, although we expect our overall cost of revenues to gradually decrease as a percentage of total revenues over time.
Administrative Expenses. Administrative expenses consist of sales and marketing, research and development, general and administrative and depreciation and amortization. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of employee-related expenses for our direct sales and marketing staff, commissions, bonuses, marketing expenses and other related costs. Research and development expenses consist primarily of employee-related expenses for our development staff, net of capitalized software costs for internally developed software. We expect to grow our research and development efforts as we continue to broaden our payroll and HR solution offerings and extend our technological solutions by investing in the development of new solutions and introducing them to new and existing clients. General and administrative expenses include employee-related expenses for finance and accounting, legal, human resources and management information systems personnel, legal costs, professional fees and other corporate expenses. Depreciation and amortization expenses include depreciation of owned computer equipment allocated based upon an estimate of assets used to support the selling, general and administrative functions, as well as amortization of intangible assets. We expect our administrative expenses to increase in absolute dollars due to additional costs associated with accounting, compliance, investor relations, and other costs associated with being a public company, although our administrative expenses may fluctuate as a percentage of total revenue.
Interest Expense
Interest expense includes interest on the debt incurred for the construction of our corporate headquarters and related party debt. The increase in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2013 is primarily due to recognizing a full year of interest expense related to the related party debt entered into in connection with the April 2012 Corporate Reorganization in 2013 as opposed to a partial year expense in 2012. We expect our interest expense to remain consistent until the completion of this offering. We intend to use a portion of the net proceeds received from this offering for the repayment of the 2022 Note, at which point we expect our interest expense to decrease.
50
Other Income, net
Other income, net includes the gain or loss on the sale of fixed assets, interest on funds held for clients that are earned primarily on funds that are collected in advance of either the applicable due date for payroll tax submissions or the applicable disbursement date for employee payment services and change in fair value of the derivative liability relating to the related party debt. We typically invest funds held for clients in money market accounts and certificates of deposit until they are paid to the applicable tax or regulatory agencies or to client employees. These collections from clients are typically disbursed from one to 30 days after receipt, with some funds being held for up to 120 days. We expect that interest on funds held for clients in other income will increase as we grow our cash and increase our funds held from clients as we introduce new applications, expand our client base and renew and expand relationships with existing clients.

The increase in revenues was due to a combination of factors, including (i) the addition of clients in mature sales offices (those offices that have been open for at least 24 months), (ii) the addition of new clients in more recently opened sales offices, (iii) the introduction and sale of additional applications to our existing clients and (iv) the growth in the number of employees of our clients.

Quarterly Revenues Trends
Excluding changes in quarterly revenues due to seasonal factors, our quarterly revenues generally increased sequentially for the periods presented due to a combination of factors, including (i) the addition of clients in mature sales offices, (ii) the addition of new clients in more recently opened sales offices, (iii) the introduction and sale of additional applications to our existing clients and (iv) the growth in the number of employees of our clients. In addition, the annual processing of payroll forms were subject to a one-time price increase in conjunction with increased access and review functionality associated with these forms in 2012, which resulted in an increase of less than 1% of recurring revenues for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.
There are also seasonal factors that affect our revenues. Recurring revenues include revenues relating to the annual processing of payroll forms such as Form W-2 and Form 1099, or Payroll Form Revenues. Because these forms are typically processed in the first quarter of the year, first quarter revenue and margins are generally higher than subsequent quarters. For example, Payroll Form Revenues accounted for 20.2% of total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 5.5% of total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2013.
55
Quarterly Expenses Trends
Selling, general and administrative expenses are generally higher in the fourth and first quarters, due to overtime hours related to preparing client rollovers to the new year, and the preparation of annual client filings.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2013, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents totaling $13.3 million. Our cash and cash equivalents are comprised primarily of deposit accounts and money market funds.
We have primarily financed our operations from cash flows generated from operations and through the sale of equity securities. Since inception, we have raised $56.0 million of equity capital. We have also incurred debt to finance the expansion of our corporate headquarters that is currently under construction, as well as other previously constructed facilities, and incurred a related party debt as part of our April 2012 Corporate Reorganization. As of December 31, 2013, the outstanding principal amount of our debt was $35.8 million, which consisted of the 2011 Consolidated Loan, the 2013 Consolidated Loan and the 2022 Note, each of which are discussed in more detail below. In connection with the Reorganization, we also assumed the 2017 Note, which is discussed below.
2011 Consolidated Loan. As of December 31, 2013, we had the 2011 Consolidated Loan with an outstanding principal amount of $12.0 million from Kirkpatrick Bank, due December 15, 2018. At March 31, 2014, the outstanding principal amount under the 2011 Consolidated Loan was approximately $11.9 million. Under the 2011 Consolidated Loan, principal and interest are payable monthly based on a 20-year amortization at an annual rate of 5.0%. The 2011 Consolidated Loan is collateralized by a first mortgage covering our corporate headquarters and is secured by a first lien security interest in certain personal property relating to our corporate headquarters.
We are required to comply with certain financial and non-financial covenants under the Consolidated Loan, including maintaining a debt coverage ratio of EBITDA to indebtedness (defined as current maturities of long- term debt, interest expense and distributions) of not less than 1.5 to 1.0. As of December 31, 2013, the debt coverage ratio was 0.66 and we were not in compliance with the covenant. This was due to the short-term land loan outstanding as of December 31, 2012 and the 2013 Consolidated Loan being included in the calculation of the debt service ratio. The short-term land loan was paid in full from an advance from the 2013 Consolidated Loan during the year ended December 31, 2013. We obtained a letter of waiver from the lender that excluded these items from the calculation of the debt service ratio as of December 31, 2013, which remains in effect through January 15, 2015.
Pursuant to the terms of the 2011 Consolidated Loan, we may not, subject to certain exceptions, until amounts under the 2011 Consolidated Loan are repaid: (i) create any mortgages or liens, (ii) make any loans, advances or extensions of credit with any affiliate or enter into any other transaction with any affiliate, (iii) lease any mortgaged property, (iv) make any distributions to members as long as an event of default exists, (v) make any material change its methods of accounting, (vi) enter into any sale and leaseback arrangement, (vii) amend, modify, restate, cancel or terminate our organizational documents, (viii) sell, transfer or convey any mortgaged property or (ix) incur funded outside debt.
An event of default under the 2011 Consolidated Loan includes, among other events, (i) failure to pay principal or interest when due, (ii) breaches of certain covenants, (iii) the failure to meet the required financial covenants and (iv) the institution of a bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation or receivership.
2013 Consolidated Loan. As of December 31, 2013, we also had the 2013 Consolidated Loan with an outstanding principal amount of $9.1 million and which allows for a maximum principal amount of $14.6 million under the modification agreement for future expansion from Kirkpatrick Bank, due May 1, 2015. At March 31, 2014, the outstanding principal amount under the 2013 Consolidated Loan was approximately $13.5 million.
56
Under the 2013 Consolidated Loan, interest accrues monthly at the Wall Street Journal U.S. Prime rate plus 0.5%, adjusted monthly, subject to a minimum interest rate of 4.0% per annum. Outstanding amounts under the 2013 Consolidated Loan are secured by a first mortgage covering all of the second headquarters building and a first lien security interest in certain personal property relating to our second headquarters building.
We are required to comply with certain financial and non-financial covenants under the 2013 Consolidated Loan, including maintaining a debt coverage ratio of EBITDA to indebtedness (defined as current maturities of long- term debt, interest expense and distributions) of not less than 1.5 to 1.0. As of December 31, 2013, the debt coverage ratio was 0.66 and we were not in compliance with the covenant. This was due to the short-term land loan and the 2013 Consolidated Loan being included in the calculation of the debt service ratio. The short-term land loan was paid in full from an advance from the 2013 Consolidated Loan during the year ended December 31, 2013. We obtained a letter of waiver from the lender that excluded these items from the calculation of the debt service ratio as of December 31, 2013, which remains in effect through January 15, 2015.
Pursuant to the terms of the 2013 Consolidated Loan, we may not, subject to certain exceptions, until amounts under the 2013 Consolidated Loan are repaid: (i) create any mortgages or liens, (ii) make any loans, advances or extensions of credit with any affiliate or enter into any other transaction with any affiliate, (iii) lease any mortgaged property, (iv) make any distributions to members as long as an event of default exists, (v) make any material change its methods of accounting, (vi) enter into any sale and leaseback arrangement, (vii) amend, modify, restate, cancel or terminate our organizational documents, (viii) sell, transfer or convey any mortgaged property or (ix) incur funded outside debt.
An event of default under the 2013 Consolidated Loan includes, among other events, (i) failure to pay principal or interest when due, (ii) breaches of certain covenants, (iii) the failure to meet the required financial covenants and (iv) the institution of a bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation or receivership.
2022 Note. In connection with the April 2012 Corporate Reorganization, we entered into the 2022 Note with WCAS Capital IV, a related party. As of December 31, 2013, the outstanding principal amount of the 2022 Note was $14.7 million (which included an unamortized discount of $4.1 million). At March 31, 2014, the outstanding principal amount under the 2022 Note was approximately $14.7 million (which included an unamortized discount of $4.1 million). The 2022 Note is due on April 3, 2022 and interest is payable at an annual rate of 10%, payable semiannually in arrears on June 30 and December 31 of each year. We may, at our option, choose to defer all or a portion of the accrued interest on the note that is due and payable on any payment date, provided that such amount of accrued interest shall be multiplied by 1.3 and added to the principal amount of the note on such interest payment date (with the result that such interest shall have accrued at an effective rate of 13.0% instead of 10.0% through such payment date). As of December 31, 2013, such option has not been elected and all interest has been paid in cash.
2017 Note. In connection with the Reorganization, we assumed the 2017 Note that was issued by WCAS Holdings payable to WCAS X. As of March 31, 2014, the outstanding principal amount of the 2017 Note was $46.2 million (which excluded accrued interest of $1.6 million). The 2017 Note is due on April 3, 2017 and interest is payable at an annual rate of 14.0%, payable semiannually in arrears on June 30 and December 31 of each year. We may, at our option, choose to defer all or a portion of the accrued interest on the note that is due and payable on any payment date, provided that such amount of accrued interest shall be added to the principal amount of the note on such interest payment date (with the accrued but unpaid interest bearing interest at an annual rate of 14.0%). As of March 31, 2014, such option had not been elected and all interest had been paid in cash.
Our cash flows from operating activities have historically been significantly impacted by profitability, implementation revenue received but deferred, and our investment in sales and marketing to drive growth. Our ability to meet future liquidity needs will be driven by our operating performance and the extent of continued investment in our operations. We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents and cash provided by this offering will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs over at least the next
57
12 months. Failure to generate sufficient revenue and related cash flows or to raise additional capital could have a material adverse effect on our ability to meet our liquidity needs and achieve our business objectives.
As part of our payroll and payroll tax filing services, we collect funds for federal, state and local employment taxes from our clients which we remit to the appropriate tax agencies. We invest these funds in short-term certificates of deposit and money market funds from which we earn interest income during the period between their receipt and disbursement. As our business grows, we expect our capital expenditures and our investment activity to continue to increase.
Depending on certain growth opportunities, we may choose to accelerate investments in sales and marketing, acquisitions, technology and services, which may require the use of proceeds from this offering for such additional expansion and expenditures. Actual future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our future revenues, cash from operating activities and the level of expenditures in all areas of our business.

(1) | The amount represents principal amounts of 2011 Consolidated Loan and the 2013 Consolidated Loan at maturity. |
(2) | As we have the option to repay for the principal amount of the 2013 Consolidated Loan prior to the maturity date, the amount represents unpaid interest due on the 2013 Consolidated Loan based on the drawn down amount of $9,127 as of December 31, 2013. Interest is accrued monthly at the Wall Street Journal U.S. Prime Rate plus 0.5%, subject to a minimum interest rate of 4% floor and will be paid first day of each month. The interest amount determined assumed the floor of 4% based on the 2013 interest rate and does not consider for potential future prepayments, draw downs and/or additional interest. |
We have and we may continue to lease additional office space during the year ending December 31, 2014 to support our growth. In addition, many of our existing lease agreements provide us with the option to renew. Our future operating lease obligations include payments due during any renewal period provided for in the lease where the lease imposes a penalty for failure to renew.
Subsequent to December 31, 2013, we signed seven new leases for our sales offices and entered into one amendment to our existing leases thereby resulting in an additional $5.8 million in future commitments of noncancellable operating leases with initial or remaining terms of one year or more.
The 2022 Note as noted above will be paid in full from the net proceeds from this offering. Refer to Use of Proceeds for further details.

The contractual commitment amounts in the table above are associated with agreements that are enforceable and legally binding and that specify all significant terms, including fixed or minimum services to be used, fixed minimum or variable price provisions, and the approximate timing of the transaction. Obligations under contracts that we can cancel without a significant penalty are not included in the table above.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Through December 31, 2013, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated organizations or financial partnerships, such as structured finance or special purpose entities that would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Interest rate sensitivity
We had cash and cash equivalents totaling $13.3 million as of December 31, 2013. We consider all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less and money market mutual funds to be cash equivalents. This amount was invested primarily in deposit accounts and money market funds. The cash and cash equivalents are held for working capital purposes. Our investments are made for capital preservation purposes. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes.
Our cash equivalents are subject to market risk due to changes in interest rates. Fixed rate securities may have their market value adversely affected due to a rise in interest rates, while floating rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest rates fall. Due in part to these factors, our future investment income may fall short of expectation due to changes in interest rates, or we may suffer losses in principal if we are forced to sell securities that decline in market value due to changes in interest rates.
We do not believe that an increase or decrease in interest rates of 100-basis points would have a material effect on our operating results or financial condition with respect to our cash equivalents.
We are also exposed to changes in interest rates relating to our derivative liability. As of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had recorded $1.1 million and $1.8 million, respectively, as derivative liability relating to our long-term debt to related party. Changes in interest rate can lead to fluctuations in the fair value of the instrument.
To perform the sensitivity analysis on the derivative liability, we assessed the risk of a change in fair value from the effect of an interest rate change of 100-basis points as of December 31, 2013, which is shown as follows:

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses, and related disclosures. On an ongoing basis, we continually evaluate our estimates and assumptions believed to be reasonable under current facts and circumstances. Actual amounts and results may differ from these estimates made by management under different assumptions and conditions.
Certain accounting policies that require significant management estimates, and are deemed critical to our results of operations or financial position, are described below. Accordingly, these are the policies we believe are
60
the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
Revenue Recognition
Our total revenues are comprised of recurring revenues, and implementation and other revenues. We recognize revenue in accordance with accounting standards for software and service companies when all of the following criteria have been met:
| There is persuasive evidence of an arrangement; |
| The service has been or is being provided to the customer; |
| Collection of the fees is reasonably assured; and |
| The amount of fees to be paid by the customer is fixed or determinable. |
Recurring revenues are derived primarily from our talent acquisition, time and labor management, payroll, talent management and HR management applications. These services are rendered during each clients payroll period with the agreed-upon fee being charged and collected as part of the clients payroll. Revenues are recognized at time of billing of each clients payroll period. Collectability is reasonably assured as the fees are collected through an Automated Clearing House, or ACH, as part of the clients payroll cycle or through direct wire transfer, which minimizes the default risk. Our implementation and other revenues represent non- refundable conversion fees which are charged to new clients to offset the expense of new client set-up and revenues from sale of time clocks as part of our employee time and attendance services. Because these conversion fees and sale of time clocks relate to our recurring revenue, we have evaluated such arrangements under the accounting guidance that governs multiple element arrangements.
For arrangements with multiple elements, we evaluate whether each element represents a separate unit of accounting. In order to treat deliverables in a multiple element arrangement as separate units of accounting, the deliverables must have standalone value upon delivery. If the deliverables have standalone value upon delivery, we account for each deliverable separately and revenue is recognized for the respective deliverables as they are delivered. If one or more of the deliverables does not have standalone value upon delivery, the deliverables that do not have standalone value are generally combined with the final deliverable within the arrangement and treated as a single unit of accounting.
For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, we have determined that there is no standalone value associated with the upfront conversion fees as they do not have value to our clients on a standalone basis nor are they offered as an individual service; therefore, the conversion fees are deferred and recognized ratable over the estimated life of our clients, based on our historical client attrition rate, which we have estimated to be ten years. Revenues from the sale of time clocks are recognized when they are delivered.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill is not amortized, but we are required to test the carrying value of goodwill for impairment at least annually, or earlier if, at the reporting unit level, an indicator of impairment arises. The estimates and assumptions about future results of operations and cash flows made in connection with the impairment testing could differ from future actual results of operations and cash flows. If impairment exists, a write-down to fair value (normally measured by discounting estimated future cash flows) is recorded. Our business is largely homogeneous and, as a result, goodwill is associated with one reporting unit. We have selected June 30 as our annual goodwill impairment testing date and determined there was no impairment as of June 30, 2013. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, there were no indicators of impairment. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.
61
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets, including intangible assets with finite lives, are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset. We have determined that there is no impairment of long-lived assets for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011.
Incentive Units
Given the absence of a public trading market for our common units and in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, or AICPA, Audit and Accounting Practice Aid Series: Valuation of Privately Held Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation, or the AICPA Practice Guide, our board of directors exercised reasonable judgment and considered numerous factors to determine the best estimate of the fair value of our incentive units, including:
| Valuation analyses performed by unrelated third party specialist (including the application of appropriate valuation techniques and inputs); |
| Characteristics and specific terms of the units as noted in the equity grant agreements; |
| Value of the units as determined by the absence of a liquidation value on the date of grant, the ability to participate in our future profits, growth and appreciation and the lack of an exercise price for the units; |
| Lack of marketability of our common units; |
| Our actual operating and financial performance; |
| Our state of development; |
| Revenue and expense projection; |
| Likelihood of achieving a liquidating event; |
| Market performance of comparable publicly traded companies; and |
| Overall U.S. and global economic and capital market conditions. |
The valuations that we used to determine the fair market value of grants issued during and prior to 2013 were based on information available at the time of, or prior to, the grant as the case may be, and were performed by an unrelated valuation specialist, as defined by the AICPA Practice Guide. All grants issued prior to 2013 were valued during June 2013. All grants that were issued during the year ended December 31, 2013 were valued during the fourth quarter of 2013.
Our simulation model requires various subjective assumptions as inputs, including expected life, volatility, risk-free interest rates, and the expected dividend yield. The assumptions used in the simulation model represent our best estimates, which involve inherent uncertainties and the application of our judgment as follows:
| Risk-free interest rateWe base the risk-free interest rate used in the Monte Carlo simulation model on the implied yield available on 5 year U.S. Treasury securities with a remaining term equivalent to that of the respective units as of the valuation date. |
| VolatilityWe determine the volatility factor based on the historical volatilities of comparable guideline companies. To determine the comparable guideline companies, we consider cloud-based application providers and select those that are similar to us in nature of services provided. We intend to continue to consistently apply this process using the same or similar public companies until information regarding the volatility of our own pricing becomes available, or unless circumstances |
62
change such that the identified companies are no longer similar to us, in which case, more suitable companies whose share prices are publicly available would be utilized in the calculation. |
| Expected termThe expected term represents the period that our incentive units are expected to be outstanding. We determined the expected term assumption based on the vesting terms and contractual terms of the units. |
| Expected dividend yieldWe have not paid and do not expect to pay dividends in the future and therefore an expected dividend yield of 0% was applied. The directors of the Company will determine if and when dividends will be declared and paid in the future based on the Companys financial position at the relevant time. |
The following table presents a summary of the grant-date fair values of incentive units granted based on the Monte Carlo simulation model and the related assumptions for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011:

In addition to assumptions used in the simulation model, we are required to estimate forfeitures and only record compensation costs for those awards that are expected to vest. Our forfeiture estimate is based on an analysis of our actual forfeitures. We will continue to evaluate the appropriateness of the forfeiture rate based on actual forfeiture experience, analysis of employee turnover, and other factors.
We granted the following Management Incentive Units, or the Management Incentive Units, between October 1, 2012 and the date of this prospectus (in thousands, except per unit amounts):

(1) | Because our Management Incentive Units do not have an exercise price, the intrinsic value of the unit equals the fair value. |
(2) | Represents the weighted average fair value per unit, incorporating both time-based and market-based vesting conditions. |
There were no other equity instruments granted during the period from October 1, 2012 to the date of this prospectus. During 2012, Management Incentive Units were issued with a strike price that was based on a $400.0 million company enterprise value. During 2013, Management Incentive Units were issued with a strike price that was based on a $400.0 million and $550.0 million company enterprise value. We also issued incentive units to our chief executive officer, or the CEO Incentive Units, with a strike price that was based on a $550.0 million company enterprise value during 2012. These strike prices are a vesting condition, by which the underlying incentive units did not vest unless the value of our company met or exceeded the specified level. Our incentive units did not have an exercise price.
63
We believe that there is no single event that caused the change in the fair value of our incentive units between the grant dates, but rather a combination of factors described below for the significant difference noted in between certain grants as follow:
| Increase in value between the value at the grant date and the value at the initial public offering is a result of improved operating results; and |
| Increase in the probability assumption of an initial public offering scenario as we approach the estimated initial date. |
We believe that it is reasonable to expect that the completion of an initial public offering will increase the value of our shares of common stock (subsequent to the Reorganization) because they will have increased liquidity and marketability and believe that the estimates and factors noted above are a reasonable description of the value that market participants would place on the underlying common stock as of each valuation date.
In connection with the Reorganization, the incentive units we issued as part of the 2009 Incentive Units Plan, or the 2009 Incentive Units, were converted into shares of restricted stock. Upon the sale of common stock in the initial public offering, approximately 217,378 shares of restricted common stock that were granted to replace the 2009 Incentive Units will automatically vest. Total unrecognized compensation cost relating to 2009 Incentive Units was approximately $30,585 as of December 31, 2013.
In connection with the Reorganization, our incentive units were converted into shares of common stock and/or restricted stock of Software. Vested incentive units were converted to shares of common stock and restricted stock at various conversion ratios, which ranged from approximately 1:0.2 to 1:24. Unvested incentive units were converted to shares of restricted stock at various conversion ratios, which ranged from 1:24 to 1:47. The conversion to shares of common stock versus restricted stock was determined based on the underlying conditions of the pre-conversion incentive units, reflecting any pre-existing vesting conditions. This resulted in issuance of 1,148,520 and 8,121,101 shares of common stock and restricted stock, respectively. The shares of restricted stock were subject to either time-based or performance-based vesting conditions. Although there were modifications to the terms and conditions of the existing incentive units plans upon conversion, no additional compensation cost was recorded as the incremental value associated with the modifications was deemed insignificant.
Shares of restricted stock that were issued in connection with the Reorganization that were subject to time-based vesting conditions retained substantially the same time-based vesting conditions as the respective tranche of incentive units from which they were converted. For additional information concerning these vesting conditions, see Executive CompensationNarrative Discussion Regarding Summary Compensation TableEquity Incentive Units and Restricted Stock Awards. The following table shows the vesting periods for the outstanding shares of restricted stock subject to time-based vesting conditions that were issued in connection with the Reorganization:

person is employed by us on that date.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued authoritative guidance which adds new disclosure requirements for items reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, or AOCI. The update requires that an entity present either in a single note or parenthetically on the face of the financial statements, the effect of significant amounts reclassified from each component of AOCI based on its source and the income statement line items affected by the reclassification. The amendment is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning on after December 15, 2012. We adopted this new guidance for the year ended December 31, 2013, which did not have a material impact on our disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.
In February 2013, the FASB issued authoritative guidance, which added new disclosure requirements to measure obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangement for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this guidance is fixed at the reporting date and disclose the arrangements and the total outstanding amount of obligation for all joint parties. These disclosures are in addition to existing related party disclosure requirements. The amendment is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2013 and we do not expect the adoption of such guidance to affect our consolidated financial statements.

Overview
We are a leading provider of a comprehensive, cloud-based HCM software solution delivered as Software-as-a-Service. We provide functionality and data analytics that businesses need to manage the complete employment life cycle from recruitment to retirement. Our solution requires virtually no customization and is based on a core system of record maintained in a single database for all HCM functions, including talent acquisition, time and labor management, payroll, talent management and HR management applications. Our user-friendly software allows for easy adoption of our solution by employees, enabling self-management of their HCM activities in the cloud, which reduces the administrative burden on employers and increases employee productivity.
Organizations need sophisticated, flexible and intuitive applications that can quickly adapt to their evolving HCM requirements, streamline their HR processes and systems and enable them to control costs. We believe that the HCM needs of most organizations are currently served either by legacy providers offering outdated on-premise products or multiple providers that partner together in an attempt to replicate a comprehensive product. These approaches often result in large up-front capital requirements, extended delivery times, high costs, low scalability and challenges with system integration.
Because our solution was developed in-house and is based on a single platform, there is no need to integrate, update or access multiple databases, which are common issues with competitor offerings that use multiple third-party systems in order to link together their HCM offerings. Additionally, our solution maintains data integrity for accurate, actionable and real-time analytics and business intelligence and helps clients minimize the risk of compliance errors due to inaccurate or missing information. We deliver feature-rich applications while maintaining excellence in information security and quality management standards as evidenced by our ISO certifications. As part of our client retention effort, a specialist within a dedicated team is assigned to each client to provide industry-leading personalized service.
The key benefits of our differentiated solution as compared to competing products:
| Comprehensive HCM solution. Our solution offers functionality that manages the entire employment life cycle for employers and employees, from recruitment to retirement. Our user-friendly applications help clients identify candidates, onboard employees, manage time and labor, administer payroll deductions and benefits, manage performance, offboard employees and administer post-termination health benefits such as COBRA. Our solution also has the advantage of being built in-house by our highly trained and skilled team of software developers; |
| Core system of record enabling data analytics maintained on a single database. Our solution is based on a core system of record that contains payroll and HR information in one convenient database, thereby reducing costs by eliminating the need for multiple software products and vendors and the maintenance of employee data in numerous databases that have to be merged or synchronized. This core system of record allows our clients the ability to access and analyze accurate employee information to make business decisions based upon actionable, real-time, point-and-click analytics provided on our client dashboard; |
| Personalized support provided by trained personnel. Our solution is supported by one-on-one personal assistance from trained specialists. Services specialists are assigned to specific clients and are trained across all of our applications, ensuring they provide comprehensive, expert-level service; |
| Software-as-a-Service delivery model. Our SaaS delivery model allows clients with a geographically dispersed workforce to operate more efficiently and allows these clients to access and use our client-oriented Internet solution on demand and remotely through a standard web browser, smart phones, tablets and other web-enabled devices, which lowers the total cost of ownership as compared to on-premise products; |
66
| Cloud-based architecture. Our cloud-based architecture allows our solution to be implemented remotely and software enhancements and newly developed applications to be deployed without client disruption and involvement, which requires smaller investments in hardware, personnel, implementation time and consulting; and |
| Scalability to grow with our clients. Our solution offers improved scalability as our clients are able to use the same solution as their businesses grow by deploying applications as-needed in real-time, which allows clients to align HCM spending with evolving HCM needs as compared to traditional HCM products that require clients to migrate to new software as they grow, but retain fixed costs even if the client shrinks in size. |
We sell our solution directly through our internally trained, client-focused and highly skilled sales force based in offices across the United States. As a part of our client retention effort, a specialist within a dedicated team is assigned to each client to provide industry-leading, personalized service. We have over 10,000 clients, or over 6,000 clients based on parent company grouping, none of which constituted more than one-half of one percent of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2013. We believe that as a result of our focus on client retention, we enjoy high client satisfaction as evidenced by an average annual revenue retention rate of 91% from existing clients for the three years ended December 31, 2013. We believe our revenue retention rate understates our client loyalty because this rate also includes former clients that were acquired or otherwise ceased operations.
We were founded in 1998. Software is a Delaware corporation that was formed in October 2013 to undertake this offering. Since our founding, we have focused on providing an innovative SaaS HCM solution. As of December 31, 2013, we had 840 employees across the United States. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, our revenues were $107.6 million $76.8 million and $57.2 million, respectively, representing year-over-year growth in revenues of 40% and 34%, respectively. We currently derive most of our revenues from payroll processing. We are able to determine revenues from payroll processing because all of our clients are required to utilize our payroll application in order to access our other applications. We do not separately track our revenues across our other applications because we often sell applications in various groupings and configurations for a single price. We realized net income of $7.7 million, $4.2 million and $1.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Industry Background
Large Market Opportunity for HCM Technologies
According to IDC, the U.S. market for HCM applications is comprised of software that automates business processes covering the entire span of an employees relationship with his or her employer. IDC estimates that this market, excluding payroll services, will total $5.8 billion in 2014. These applications include maintenance of HR records, recruiting applications, performance management, time and labor management tracking, compliance, compensation management and other HR functions. According to IDC, the U.S. market for payroll services will be an estimated $16.2 billion in 2014. The payroll services market includes transactional activities associated with paying employees, maintaining accounting records and administrating payroll taxes while payroll accounting applications offer the functionality to effectively track these various payments and transfers.
IDC estimates that the international market for HCM applications (excluding the United States) will be $4.1 billion in 2014.
Economic and Technological Trends Are Driving Demand for HCM Solutions
Organizations operating in todays global economy are continually under pressure to reduce operating costs in order to maintain or improve their competitive positions. One tactic used by organizations is to utilize information technology, or IT, provided by external resources in order to automate internal processes, reduce internal administrative burdens and more effectively manage capital expenditures and labor costs. As a result, businesses are increasingly making the strategic decision to leverage HCM technologies in order to improve the
67
effectiveness and efficiency of their internal HR and accounting functions and capture opportunities for cost savings. According to IBISWorld, companies often outsource administrative services, such as time and labor management, after initially outsourcing payroll.
Organizations are also managing internal costs and administrative burdens by transitioning technological assets from on-premise to the cloud. By shifting HR systems to the cloud, businesses seek to avoid the difficulties associated with maintaining software and security updates, and storage needs as well as other maintenance issues. The rise of cloud computing has supported the SaaS delivery model. According to IDC, the global SaaS market is projected to grow from $23 billion in 2011 to $67 billion in 2016, at a CAGR of 24%.
We believe that businesses increasingly view data concerning their human capital as a critical strategic resource that can result in more informed decision-making concerning employee recruitment, retention and compensation. This revolution in data analytics and its extension to HR functions has increased the number of employees within an organization that can benefit from, and who regularly interface with, information technologies. As a result, organizations seek intuitive technologies that do not require extensive training or advanced technological credentials to be effectively utilized. The user experience of business applications is changing to emulate the consumer experience as HR buyers increasingly seek applications that are intuitive and available anywhere on any web-enabled device.
Incumbent HCM Products Struggle To Meet the Needs of Businesses
We believe that a majority of businesses and organizations in the United States are using multiple HCM systems from more than one vendor, thereby impeding their ability to share data across these systems. Several incumbent payroll and HCM vendors offer product sets that are comprised of separate systems that require integration. In certain cases, this disparate product offering across several vendors is the result of several acquisitions which often leads to a loosely coupled product set that is marked by significant architectural differences and weak data integration. We believe that this type of offering increases the risk of user or system error and reduces overall effectiveness.
A comprehensive HCM solution leverages the same data, process and workflow management, security model, reporting and analytics tools, and user portals to provide a uniform user experience. We believe that significant analytical power remains trapped within the data that organizations are accessing across multiple applications and databases but are unable to analyze in a unified context.
We believe that vendors who pursue market segmentation strategies based on organization size or industry create difficulties for clients who grow, either in size or industry scope, beyond the confines of those vendors offerings. A scalable HCM solution based on a core system of record allows for an organization to grow in size and scope without transitioning to a new user interface or back-end database.
The Paycom Solution
We offer an end-to-end SaaS HCM solution that provides our clients and their employees with immediate access to accurate and secure information and analytics 24 hours a day, seven days a week from any location. We believe that our solution delivers the following benefits:
Comprehensive HCM Solution
Our solution offers functionality that manages the entire employment life cycle for employers and employees, from recruitment to retirement. Our user-friendly applications streamline client processes and provide clients and their employees with the ability to directly access and manage administrative processes, including applications that identify candidates, onboard employees, manage time and labor, administer payroll deductions and benefits, manage performance, offboard employees and administer post-termination health benefits such as COBRA. The widespread employee usage of our applications helps further integrate our solution into the
68
administrative processes of our clients. Our solution also has the advantage of being built in-house by our highly trained and skilled team of software developers, thereby minimizing data integrity issues across applications.
Core System of Record
Our solution is based on a core system of record that contains payroll and HR information in one convenient database, thereby reducing costs and eliminating the need for multiple software products and vendors and the maintenance of employee data in numerous databases. This core system of record enables our clients to input employee data one time and enjoy seamless functionality across our applications. When a revision is made to the file of an employee, all appropriate personnel have access to the change in real time. In addition, our core system of record helps clients minimize the risk of compliance errors due to inaccurate or missing information that results from maintaining multiple databases. Through accurate tracking and management of employee payroll and other HR data, such information can be compiled for comprehensive and consistent reporting for our clients.

Our solution allows clients to analyze accurate employee information to make business decisions based upon actionable, real-time, point-and-click analytics provided through our client dashboard. This functionality helps our clients operate with a more complete and accurate picture of their organization as our solutions embedded analytics capture the content and context of everyday business events, facilitating fast and informed decision-making from any location. The employees of our clients also benefit from our analytics platform as they are able to model in real-time the impact of their HCM decisions on their compensation, benefits and rewards.
Personalized Support Provided by Trained Personnel
Our applications are supported by one-on-one personal assistance from trained specialists. Services specialists are assigned to specific clients and are trained across all of our applications, ensuring they provide comprehensive, expert-level service. Our client service is ISO 9001:2008 certified on the basis of its quality and consistency. We strive to provide our clients with high levels of service and support to ensure their continued use of our solution for all of their HCM needs. We have maintained high client satisfaction, as evidenced by an average annual revenue retention rate of 91% from existing clients for the three years ended December 31, 2013.
Software-as-a-Service Delivery Model
Our SaaS delivery model allows clients with a geographically dispersed and mobile workforce to operate more efficiently, and allows these clients to implement, access and use our client-oriented Internet solution on demand and remotely through standard web browsers, smart phones, tablets and other web-enabled devices. Our SaaS solution reduces the time, risk, headcount and costs associated with installing and maintaining applications for on-premise products within the information technology infrastructure of our clients.
Secure Cloud-Based Architecture
Our cloud-based architecture allows our solution to be implemented remotely with minimal client interaction. Updates such as software enhancements and newly developed applications can be deployed without client interaction, disruption or involvement, allowing our clients to make a smaller investment in hardware, personnel, implementation time and consulting. Additionally, we own and maintain all of the infrastructure technology to host our solutions and to maximize system availability for clients. Our focus and investment in technology and data security has been recognized with ISO/IEC 27001:2005 certified security standards that provide our clients with a best-in-class level of data security.
Scalability to Grow with our Clients
Our solution is highly scalable. We have served a diversified client base ranging in size from one to more than 8,000 employees. We calculate the number of employees using clients based on parent company grouping.
69
Our clients are able to use the same solution while their businesses grow by deploying applications as-needed in real-time. Pricing is determined by employee headcount and the number of applications utilized, enabling our clients to align HCM spending with their evolving HCM needs as compared to traditional HCM products that require clients to migrate to new software as they grow but retain fixed costs even if the client shrinks in size.
Our Strategy for Growth
Our strategy is to continue to establish our solution as the HCM industry standard. To accomplish this, we intend to:
Increase Our Presence in Existing Markets
Although we have clients in all 50 states, we believe a significant opportunity exists to expand our presence within markets where we currently have a sales office. We have a sales office in 24 of the 50 largest MSAs in the United States based on 2010 U.S. census data, only one of which is served by multiple sales teams. We believe that the 50 largest MSAs in the United States could collectively support at least 100 additional sales teams. Each sales office is typically staffed with one sales team, with each team comprised of approximately seven to nine sales professionals. We plan to increase our presence in existing markets by adding sales offices and increasing the number of our sales teams to further penetrate and effectively capture these markets.
Expand Into Additional Markets
We plan to continue expanding our sales capability by opening sales offices in certain metropolitan areas where we currently have no sales teams. We have identified 50 untapped metropolitan areas where we could potentially open a new sales office staffed with at least one sales team. Since September 2012, we have opened sales offices in Baltimore, Detroit, Indianapolis, Minneapolis, New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Seattle and Silicon Valley. We intend to open six to eight additional offices over the next two years, as well as potentially expand over the longer term into international markets.
Enlarge our Existing Client Relationships
We dedicate our resources to helping our clients facilitate their goals, whether through helping them execute better hiring decisions, manage compensation more effectively or simply operate more efficiently. We believe a significant growth opportunity exists in selling additional applications to our current clients. Many clients have subsequently deployed additional applications as they recognize the benefits of our comprehensive solution. During the year ended December 31, 2013, all of our clients, including our new clients, on average utilized 5.2 of our 18 then available applications. During that same period, however, new clients on average utilized 6.2 applications. We believe that there is a significant opportunity to sell additional applications to our existing clients. As we extend and strengthen the functionality of our solution, we will continue to invest in initiatives to increase the adoption of our solution and maintain our high levels of client satisfaction.
Target Larger Clients
As we have organically grown our operations and increased the number of our applications, the average size of our clients has also grown significantly. Based on our total revenues, we have grown at an approximately 38% CAGR since 2009. Our solution requires no adjustment to serve larger clients. We believe larger employers represent a substantial opportunity to increase the number of clients and to increase our revenue per client, with limited incremental cost to us. From January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2013, we increased our annualized recurring revenue per average client by 52.7%, in part by targeting larger clients and enlarging our existing client relationships. To further capitalize on this opportunity, we intend to target larger businesses opportunistically where our current sales model is effective.

Maintain Our Leadership in Innovation by Strengthening and Extending our Solution
Our ability to develop and deploy new applications and updates rapidly and cost-effectively has been integral to the results that we have achieved to date. We intend to continue extending the functionality and range of our solution in the future, and recently launched a new application. Our development efforts are performed exclusively in-house and are heavily based upon proactive research and client input. In the near-term, we intend to focus our investments on further developing applications within our higher margin HR and talent management applications. Over the long term, we intend to increase our investment in the development of new applications that are responsive to the needs of our clients, which are garnered through ongoing client interaction and collaboration.

Our Clients
We serve a diverse client base in terms of size and industry. We have over 10,000 clients, or over 6,000 clients based on parent company groupings, none of which constituted more than one-half of one percent of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2013. We stored data for more than 1,000,000 persons employed by our clients during the year ended December 31, 2013.
Based on parent company grouping, companies with fewer than 50 employees comprised approximately 10% of total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2013. Revenues for clients based on parent company grouping, with 50-2,000 employees and more than 2,000 employees represented approximately 86% and 4%, respectively, of total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2013. Many of our clients that are small to mid-sized companies can typically make the decision to adopt our solution more quickly than larger companies,

which we believe results in a shorter sales cycle, which more closely corresponds to our target sales cycle of 30 to 90 days. As a result of the nature and size of our clientele, we maintain a diversified client base and very low client concentration. We believe, however, larger employers represent a substantial opportunity to increase the number of clients and to increase our revenue per client with limited incremental cost.
Competition
The market for HCM solutions is rapidly evolving, highly competitive and subject to changing technology, shifting client needs and frequent introduction of new products and services. Our competitors range from small, regional firms to large, well-established international firms with multiple product offerings.
We compete with firms that provide HCM solutions by various means. Many providers continue to deliver legacy enterprise software, but as demand for greater flexibility and access to information grows, we believe there will be increased competition in the delivery of HCM cloud-based solutions by other SaaS providers. Our competitors offer HCM solutions that overlap with one, several or all categories of applications offered by our solution. Our talent acquisition and talent management applications compete primarily with Cornerstone OnDemand, Inc., Oracle Corporation, SAP AG and Workday, Inc. Our payroll applications, including payroll processing, compete primarily with ADP, Ceridian Corporation, Concur Technologies, Inc., Intuit, Inc., Paychex, Inc. and The Ultimate Software Group, Inc. Our HR management applications compete primarily with ADP, Ceridian Corporation, Oracle Corporation, Paychex, Inc., SAP AG, and Workday, Inc. Our time and labor management applications compete primarily with ADP, Ceridian Corporation and The Ultimate Software Group, Inc. Our larger competitors compete with us across multiple segments. In addition, our HCM solution continues to face competition from in-house payroll and HR systems and departments as well as HR systems and software sold by third-party vendors.
Competition in the HCM solutions market is primarily based on service responsiveness, product quality and reputation, breadth of service and product offering and price. The importance of these factors depends on the size of the business. Price tends to be the most important factor of competition for smaller businesses with fewer employees while the scope of features and customization is more important to larger businesses. We believe that our SaaS delivery model allows us to be most competitive in the HCM solutions market across this spectrum.
Sales and Marketing
We sell our solution exclusively through our sales force that included 218 sales professionals as of December 31, 2013, substantially all of whom have a four-year college degree. Our sales force is comprised of inside sales and field sales personnel who are organized geographically and CRRs, who sell additional applications to existing clients. We have 30 sales teams located in 20 states and plan to open additional sales offices to further expand our presence in the U.S. market. As of December 31, 2013, 23% of our sales force had achieved executive sales representative status by generating in excess of $300,000 of annualized new recurring revenue.
