The company projects revenues between $410 million and $412 million for the third quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $411 million, indicating an increase of 23% year over year. The consensus mark for earnings is pegged at $1.62 per share, suggesting a 27.6% rise from the prior-year quarter.
Paycom estimates adjusted EBITDA in the range of $156-$158 million in the quarter to be reported.
The company’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 8%.
Let’s see how things have shaped up for the upcoming announcement.
Paycom’s third-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from the strong demand for the latest products, new business wins and the high-margin recurring revenue business. Our estimates for the company’s Recurring revenues are pegged at $404 million, suggesting year-over-year growth of 23.1%.
Paycom’s employee usage strategy, sales efforts and investments might have contributed to sales growth in the quarter to be reported. Moreover, the cloud-based human capital management solution provider earlier announced its intention to aggressively drive advertising and marketing efforts to generate more demo leads, virtual meetings and increased close rates of deals. These are likely to have led to market share gains for Paycom.
The company expects the strong adoption of the BETI solution, the industry-first technology that empowers employees to do their payroll among clients, aiding them to avoid time-consuming manual checks. We anticipate new client additions to have driven the top line in the third quarter.
However, Paycom’s quarterly performance is expected to have been affected by macroeconomic uncertainty-triggered economic and business disruptions, which might have hurt the headcount across its client base. Enterprises are postponing their large IT spending plans due to the weakening global economy amid ongoing macroeconomic and geopolitical issues.
