Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the sections entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Risk Factors,” contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, our business strategy and plans, our objectives for future operations, and any statements of a general economic or industry specific nature, are forward-looking statements. You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “plan,” “intend,” “believe,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “can have,” “likely,” “outlook,” “potential,” “targets,” “contemplates,” or the negative or plural of these words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe, based on information currently available to our management, may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives, and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, related to our operations, financial results, financial condition, business, prospects, growth strategy, and liquidity. Accordingly, there are, or will be, important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements. We believe that these factors include, but are not limited to:

•Our ability to manage our growth effectively.

•The resulting effects of any potential breach of our security measures or any unauthorized access to our customers’ or their employees’ personal data, including by way of computer viruses, worms, phishing and ransomware attacks, malicious software programs, and other data security threats.

•The expansion and retention of our direct sales force with qualified and productive persons and the related effects on the growth of our business.

•The impact on customer expansion and retention if implementation, user experience, customer service, or performance relating to our solutions is not satisfactory.

•The timing of payments made to employees and taxing authorities relative to the timing of when a customer’s electronic funds transfers are settled to our account.

•Future acquisitions of other companies’ businesses, technologies, or customer portfolios.

•The continued service of our key executives.

•Our ability to innovate and deliver high-quality, technologically advanced products and services.

•Our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel, including software developers and skilled IT, sales, marketing, and operation personnel.

•The proper operation of our software.

•Our relationships with third parties.

•Damage, failure, or disruption of our Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) delivery model, data centers, or our third-party providers’ services.

•Our ability to protect our intellectual and proprietary rights.

•The use of open source software in our applications.

•The growth of the market for cloud-based human capital management and payroll software among small and medium- sized businesses (“SMBs”).

•The competitiveness of our market generally.

•The ongoing effects of inflation, supply chain disruptions, labor shortages and other adverse macroeconomic conditions in the markets in which we and our customers operate.

•The impact of an economic downturn or recession in the United States (“U.S.”) or global economy.

•Our customers’ dependence on our solutions to comply with applicable laws.

•Our ability to comply with anti-corruption, anti-bribery and similar laws.

Table of Contents

•Changes in laws, regulations, or requirements applicable to our software and services.

•The impact of privacy, data protection, tax and other laws and regulations.

•Our ability to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting.

•The other risk factors set forth under Item 1A of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on August 24, 2022.

Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the future events and trends discussed in this report may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements.

You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur. Although we believe that the expectations and assumptions reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement after the date of this report, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, or to conform these statements to actual results or revised expectations, except as may be required by law.

(all amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS:

Paycor HCM, Inc. (“Paycor HCM” or “the Company”) is a leading provider of human capital management (“HCM”) software located primarily in the United States (“U.S.”). Paycor’s solutions target small and medium-sized businesses with 10-1,000 employees. Solutions provided include payroll, human resources (“HR”) services, talent management, workforce management, benefits administration, reporting and analytics, and other payroll-related services. Services are generally provided in a Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) delivery model utilizing a cloud-based platform.

Paycor HCM is a holding company with no material operating assets or operations that was formed on August 24, 2018 to effect the acquisition of Paycor, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Paycor”) by certain investment funds advised by Apax Partners LLP, a leading global private equity advisory firm (“Apax Partners”). On September 7, 2018, Paycor HCM, through its subsidiary companies, entered into the Agreement and Plan of Merger to acquire Paycor (the “Apax Acquisition”). The Apax Acquisition closed on November 2, 2018. As a result of the Apax Acquisition, Paycor is an indirect controlled subsidiary of Paycor HCM.

Initial Public Offering

On July 23, 2021, the Company completed an initial public offering (“IPO”) of 21,275,000 shares of its common stock, $0.001 par value per share, at an offering price of $23.00 per share (the “IPO Price”). In aggregate, proceeds from the IPO were approximately $454,147, which is net of approximately $30,583 in underwriters’ discount and $4,595 of offering costs. During the nine months ended March 31, 2022, $3,827 of offering costs were paid. Additionally, upon the closing of the IPO:

•all of the Company’s outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock were automatically converted into 11,705,039 shares of the Company’s common stock;

•the Company used a portion of the proceeds to effect the redemption of all of the outstanding shares of the Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock (acquisition of noncontrolling interest) (“Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock” or “Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest”) at a redemption price of 101% of the liquidation preference, plus the amount of all accrued dividends for the then current and all prior dividend payment periods, for a total of $260,044;

•the outstanding Long Term Incentive Plan Units (“LTIP Units”) converted to 1,761,578 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and the Company began recognizing compensation expense equal to the aggregate dollar value over the requisite two-year service period; and

•the performance-based incentive units granted under the Pride Aggregator, L.P. Management Equity Plan (“MEP”) converted to time-based incentive units, with 25% vesting upon successive 6-month anniversary dates for the 24 months beginning on the date of the Company’s IPO.

In connection with the Company’s IPO, the Company executed a 1,517.18 for 1 share stock split (“IPO Stock Split”) relating to its common stock. All share and per share amounts have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the IPO Stock Split for all periods presented within the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Basis of presentation and consolidation

The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company were prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and include all of the information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim reporting. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended June 30, 2022 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 24, 2022. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for interim periods do not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements and are not necessarily indicative of results for any future interim periods and the full fiscal year ending June 30, 2023. Adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair statement of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows at the dates and for the periods presented have been included. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of estimates

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the recognition of revenue, evaluation of potential impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, and the valuation of stock-based compensation.

The Company’s results of operations and financial condition can also be affected by economic, political, legislative, regulatory and legal actions, including but not limited to health epidemics and pandemics and their resulting economic impact. Economic conditions, such as recessionary trends, inflation, interest and monetary exchange rates, and government fiscal policies can have a significant effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition. While the Company maintains reserves for anticipated liabilities and carries various levels of insurance, the Company could be affected by civil, criminal, regulatory or administrative actions, claims or proceedings.

Accounts receivable, net

Accounts receivable balances are shown on the condensed consolidated balance sheets net of the allowance for doubtful accounts of $6,144 and $3,268 as of March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively. The allowance for doubtful accounts considers factors such as historical experience, credit quality, age of the accounts receivable balance and current and forecasted economic conditions that may affect a client’s ability to pay. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations and generally requires no collateral from clients. Management reviews individual accounts as they become past due to determine collectability. The allowance for doubtful accounts is adjusted periodically based on management’s consideration of past due accounts. Individual accounts are charged against the allowance when all reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted.

Sales and marketing

Sales and marketing expenses consist of costs associated with the Company’s direct sales and marketing staff, including employee-related costs, marketing, advertising and promotion expenses, and other related costs. Advertising and promotion costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising and promotion expense totaled approximately $8,014 and $5,354 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Advertising and promotion expense totaled approximately $21,415 and $15,229 for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Stock-based compensation

The Company recognizes all employee and director stock-based compensation as a cost in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Equity-classified awards are measured at the grant date fair value of the award and expense is recognized, net of actual forfeitures, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the award.

The Company establishes grant date fair value of RSUs based on the fair value of the Company's underlying common stock. The Company estimates the grant date fair value of stock options, including common stock purchased as a part of the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP"), using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which requires management to make assumptions with respect to the fair value of the Company's award on the grant date, including the expected term of the award, the expected volatility of the Company's stock calculated based on a period of time generally commensurate with the expected term of the award, the expected risk-free rate of return, and expected dividend yields of the Company's stock. The Company recognized stock-based compensation cost for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 of $20,384 and $16,294, respectively. The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 of $58,019 and $55,321, respectively.

Leases

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (“ASC 842”), as subsequently amended, on July 1, 2022, through the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts that were not completed as of that date. ASC 842 requires entities to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities and disclose key information about leasing arrangements for certain leases. Results for reporting periods beginning after July 1, 2022 are presented under ASC 842, while prior period amounts have not been adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the Company’s historical accounting treatment.

The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed the Company to carry forward the historical lease classification. Adoption of the new

standard resulted in recording additional lease assets and liabilities of $17,457 and $24,626, respectively, as of July 1, 2022. The adoption of the standard did not materially impact our consolidated statements of operations or cash flows. See Note 10 - “Leases” for additional information.

Pending accounting pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses” (Topic 326). This update establishes a new approach to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments. The update requires financial assets measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The amended standard will also update the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities, requiring entities to determine whether all or a portion of the unrealized loss on any such securities is a credit loss. The Company is currently evaluating this standard and the potential effects of these changes to its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which will be adopted within the current fiscal year, but does not expect it to have a material impact.

3. REVENUE:

The following table disaggregates revenue from contracts by recurring fees and implementation services and other, which the Company believes depicts the nature, amount and timing of its revenue:



	Three Months Ended March 31,				Nine Months Ended March 31,
	2023		2022		2023		2022
Recurring fees	$	147,491	$	119,108	$	380,426	$	307,873

Recurring and other revenue	$	150,757	$	122,189	$	389,908	$	317,334

Deferred revenue

The Company recognizes deferred revenue for nonrefundable upfront fees as well as for subscription services related to certain ancillary products invoiced prior to the satisfaction of the performance obligation.

The nonrefundable upfront fees related to implementation services are typically included on the client’s first invoice. Implementation fees are deferred and recognized as revenue over an estimated 24-month period to which the material right exists, which is the period the client is expected to benefit from not having to pay an additional nonrefundable implementation fee upon renewal of the service.

The following table summarizes the changes in deferred revenue related to the nonrefundable upfront fees and recurring subscription services:


	Three Months Ended March 31,				Nine Months Ended March 31,
	2023		2022		2023		2022
Balance, beginning of period	$	17,037	$	15,289	$	17,046	$	16,047

Balance, end of period	$	18,370	$	16,972	$	18,370	$	16,972

Deferred revenue is recorded within deferred revenue and other long-term liabilities on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company will recognize deferred revenue of $3,967 in fiscal year 2023, $10,610 in fiscal year 2024, $3,793 in fiscal year 2025 and $0 thereafter.
