Exhibit 99.1

Paycom Software, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2023 Results

Second Quarter Revenues of $401 million, up 27% from the comparable prior year period

Second Quarter GAAP Net Income of $65 million, representing 16% of total revenues, or $1.11 per diluted share

Second Quarter Non-GAAP Net Income of $94 million, of $1.62 per diluted share

Second Quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $157 million, representing 39% of total revenues

OKLAHOMA CITY – August 1, 2023 – (BUSINESS WIRE) – Paycom Software, Inc. (“Paycom,” “we” and “our”) (NYSE: PAYC), a leading provider of comprehensive, cloud-based human capital management software, today announced its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2023.

“We delivered another strong quarter, which was highlighted by strong revenue growth and margin expansion as demand for our differentiated HR and payroll solution continues to increase,” said Paycom’s founder, chairman and CEO, Chad Richison. “We strengthened our product set with innovative developments and expanded our TAM to include larger North American organizations with both domestic and foreign employees.”

Financial Highlights for the Second Quarter of 2023

Total Revenues of $401.1 million represented a 26.6% increase compared to total revenues of $316.9 million in the same period last year. Recurring revenues of $394.5 million increased 26.6% from the comparable prior year period, and constituted 98.4% of total revenues.

GAAP Net Income was $64.5 million, or $1.11 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net income of $57.4 million, or $0.99 per diluted share, in the same period last year.

Non-GAAP Net Income1 was $94.3 million, or $1.62 per diluted share, compared to $73.0 million, or $1.26 per diluted share, in the same period last year.

Adjusted EBITDA1 was $156.6 million, compared to $119.6 million in the same period last year.

Cash and Cash Equivalents were $536.5 million as of June 30, 2023, compared to $400.7 million as of December 31, 2022. During the quarter ended June 30, 2023, Paycom paid $21.7 million in cash dividends.

Total Debt was $29.0 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

1Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income are non-GAAP financial measures. Please see the discussion below under the heading "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information" and the reconciliations at the end of this release for additional information concerning these and other non-GAAP financial measures.

Financial Outlook

Paycom provides the following expected financial guidance for the quarter ending September 30, 2023 and the year ending December 31, 2023.

Quarter Ending September 30, 2023:

Total Revenues in the range of $410 million to $412 million.

Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $156 million to $158 million.

Year Ending December 31, 2023:

Total Revenues in the range of $1.715 billion to $1.717 billion.

Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $722 million to $724 million.

We have not reconciled the forward-looking adjusted EBITDA ranges presented above and discussed on the teleconference call to net income, nor the forward-looking adjusted EBITDA margins and forward looking non-GAAP effective income tax rate discussed on the teleconference call to comparable GAAP measures, because applicable information for future periods, on which these reconciliations would be based, is not readily available due to uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, taxes, non-cash stock-based compensation expense and other items. Further, we have not reconciled the forward-looking adjusted gross margin discussed on the teleconference call to GAAP gross margin because applicable information for future periods, on which this reconciliation would be based, is not readily

available due to uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, cost of revenues, including non-cash stock-based compensation expense. Accordingly, reconciliations of the forward-looking adjusted EBITDA ranges to net income, the forward-looking adjusted EBITDA margins to net income margin, and the forward-looking non-GAAP effective income tax rate to the GAAP effective income tax rate are not available at this time without unreasonable effort. During the teleconference call, we also refer to a forward-looking estimate of our implied revenue growth rate plus adjusted EBITDA margin, or the “Rule of 67”. Because we are unable to reconcile forward-looking adjusted EBITDA margin to net income margin without unreasonable effort, we are unable to reconcile the “Rule of 67” to a comparable GAAP measure without unreasonable effort.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), we present certain non-GAAP financial measures in this press release and on the related teleconference call, including adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income, adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, adjusted sales and marketing expenses, adjusted total administrative expenses, adjusted research and development expenses, adjusted total research and development costs, adjusted EBITDA margin, and “Rule of 67”. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures as supplemental measures to review and assess the performance of our core business operations and for planning purposes. We define (i) adjusted EBITDA as net income plus interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, certain transaction expenses that are not core to our operations (if any) and the change in fair value of our interest rate swap, (ii) non-GAAP net income as net income plus non-cash stock-based compensation expense, certain transaction expenses that are not core to our operations (if any) and the change in fair value of our interest rate swap, all of which are adjusted for the effect of income taxes, (iii) adjusted gross profit as gross profit plus applicable non-cash stock-based compensation expense, (iv) adjusted gross margin as gross profit plus applicable non-cash stock-based compensation expense, divided by total revenues, (v) each adjusted expense item as the GAAP expense amount less applicable non-cash stock-based compensation expense, (vi) adjusted total research and development costs as total research and development costs (including the capitalized portion) less applicable non-cash stock-based compensation (including the capitalized portion), (vii) adjusted EBITDA margin as adjusted EBITDA (calculated as described in clause (i)) divided by total revenues, and (viii) “Rule of 67” as revenue growth rate (expressed as a percentage) plus adjusted EBITDA margin (calculated as described in clause (vii)) and (ix) non-GAAP effective income tax rate as the provision for income taxes plus the income tax effect on non-GAAP adjustments divided by non-GAAP net income (calculated as described in clause (ii)) plus the provision for income taxes and the income tax effect on non-GAAP adjustments. The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release and discussed on the related teleconference call provide investors with greater transparency to the information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. We believe these metrics are useful to investors because they facilitate comparisons of our core business operations across periods on a consistent basis, as well as comparisons with the results of peer companies, many of which use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement results under GAAP. In addition, adjusted EBITDA is a measure that provides useful information to management about the amount of cash available for reinvestment in our business, repurchasing common stock and other purposes. Management believes that the non-GAAP measures presented in this press release and discussed on the related teleconference call, when viewed in combination with our results prepared in accordance with GAAP, provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business and performance.

The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release and discussed on the related teleconference call are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for net income, gross profit, gross margin, research and development expenses, sales and marketing expenses, administrative expenses and total research and development costs. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing our operating performance, you should not consider these non-GAAP financial measures in isolation, or as a substitute for the consolidated statements of income data prepared in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures that we present may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies and other companies may not calculate such measures in the same manner as we do.

In conjunction with this announcement, Paycom will host a conference call today, August 1, 2023, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern time to discuss its financial results.
