NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

August 31, 2014

Note A: Description of Business, Basis of Presentation, and Significant Accounting Policies

Description of business: Paychex, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “Paychex”) is a leading provider of payroll, human resource, insurance, and benefits outsourcing solutions for small- to medium-sized businesses in the United States (“U.S.”). The Company also has operations in Germany.

Paychex, a Delaware corporation formed in 1979, reports as one segment. Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is generated within the U.S. The Company also generates revenue within Germany, which represented less than one percent of the Company's total revenue for the three months ended August 31, 2014 and 2013. Long-lived assets in Germany are insignificant in relation to total long-lived assets of the Company as of August 31, 2014 and May 31, 2014. In addition, the Company has equity method investments for a joint-venture in Brazil and a minority investment in Canada, both of which are not significant.

Basis of presentation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statement presentation. The consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of the Company with all significant intercompany transactions eliminated. In the opinion of management, the information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of items of a normal recurring nature), which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Form 10-K”) as of and for the year ended May 31, 2014 (“fiscal 2014”). Operating results and cash flows for the three months ended August 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for other interim periods or the full fiscal year ending May 31, 2015 (“fiscal 2015”). The Company has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and/or disclosure through the date of issuance of these financial statements.

PEO insurance services: As part of the professional employer organization (“PEO”), the Company offers workers' compensation insurance and health insurance to client companies for the benefit of client employees. For workers' compensation insurance, reserves are established to provide for the estimated costs of paying claims underwritten by the Company. The Company’s maximum individual claims liability is $1.0 million under both its fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014 policies. As of August 31, 2014 and May 31, 2014, the Company had recorded current liabilities of $9.4 million and $8.5 million, respectively, and long-term liabilities of $15.9 million and $16.0 million, respectively, on its Consolidated Balance Sheets for PEO workers’ compensation costs.

Under the minimum premium arrangement, the Company's health benefits insurance reserves are established to provide for the payment of claims liability charges in accordance with its service contract with the carrier. The Company's maximum individual claims liability is $0.3 million under its minimum premium plan health insurance option. Amounts accrued related to health benefits insurance reserves are considered immaterial as of August 31, 2014 and May 31, 2014.

Estimating the ultimate cost of future claims is an uncertain and complex process based upon historical loss experience and actuarial loss projections, and is subject to change due to multiple factors, including economic trends, changes in legal liability law, and damage awards, all of which could materially impact the reserves as reported in the consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, final claim settlements may vary from the present estimates, particularly with workers' compensation insurance where those payments may not occur until well into the future. The Company regularly reviews the adequacy of its estimated insurance reserves. Adjustments to previously established reserves are reflected in the results of operations for the period in which the adjustment is identified. Such adjustments could be significant, reflecting any combination of new and adverse or favorable trends.

Stock-based compensation costs: The Company has issued stock-based awards to employees and directors consisting of stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance shares, and performance stock options. The Company accounts for all stock-based awards to employees and directors as compensation costs in the consolidated financial statements based on the fair value measured as of the date of grant. These costs are recognized over the requisite service period. Stock-based compensation costs recognized were $7.5 million for both the three month periods ended August 31, 2014 and August 31, 2013. The methods and assumptions used in the determination of the fair value of stock-based awards are consistent with those described in the Company’s fiscal 2014 Form 10-K.

Note A: Description of Business, Basis of Presentation, and Significant Accounting Policies — continued

Reclassifications: Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation and had no effect on reported consolidated earnings. The three months ended August 31, 2013 reflect an immaterial change in classification between categories on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income to be consistent with current year presentation, and had no impact on operating income. Other immaterial prior period reclassifications were between categories on the Consolidated Balance Sheets for purposes of comparability.

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements: In June 2014, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-11, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force).” This ASU provides explicit guidance regarding the presentation in the statement of financial position of an unrecognized tax benefit when net operating losses or tax credit carryforwards exist. It is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements: In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force).” This guidance requires a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period to be treated as a performance condition. The current accounting standard for stock-based compensation as it applies to awards with performance conditions should be applied. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, including interim reporting periods, beginning after December 15, 2015, and is applicable to the Company's fiscal year beginning June 1, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance, but does not anticipate it will have a material impact to its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” This guidance supersedes current guidance on revenue recognition in Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition.” In addition, there are disclosure requirements related to the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue recognition. This guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods, and will be required to be applied retrospectively. Early application of the guidance is not permitted. This guidance is applicable to the Company's fiscal year beginning June 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and any potential impact to its consolidated financial statements.

Other recent authoritative guidance issued by the FASB (including technical corrections to the Accounting Standards Codification), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not, or are not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company’s available-for-sale securities reflected a net unrealized gain of $41.0 million as of August 31, 2014 compared with a net unrealized gain of $34.5 million as of May 31, 2014. Included in the net unrealized gain as of August 31, 2014 and May 31, 2014, there were 58 and 98 available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position, respectively. The securities in an unrealized loss position were as follows:

The Company regularly reviews its investment portfolios to determine if any investment is other-than-temporarily impaired due to changes in credit risk or other potential valuation concerns. The Company believes that the investments it held as of August 31, 2014, that had unrealized losses totaling $1.3 million, were not other-than-temporarily impaired. The Company believes that it is probable that the principal and interest will be collected in accordance with the contractual terms, and that the unrealized losses on these securities were due to changes in interest rates, and were not due to increased credit risk or other valuation concerns. A substantial portion of the securities in an unrealized loss position as of August 31, 2014 and May 31, 2014 held an AA rating or better. The Company does not intend to sell these investments until the recovery of their amortized cost basis or maturity, and further believes that it is not more-likely-than-not that it will be required to sell these investments prior to that time. The Company’s assessment that an investment is not other-than-temporarily impaired could change in the future due to new developments or changes in the Company’s strategies or assumptions related to any particular investment.

Realized gains and losses on the sales of securities are determined by specific identification of the amortized cost basis of each security. On the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income, realized gains and losses from funds held for clients are included in interest on funds held for clients and realized gains and losses from corporate investments are included in investment income, net. Realized gains were $0.1 million for the three months ended August 31, 2014 compared to $0.2 million for the three months ended August 31, 2013. There were no realized losses recognized in any of the respective periods.

Note D: Funds Held for Clients and Corporate Investments — continued

The amortized cost and fair value of available-for-sale securities that had stated maturities as of August 31, 2014 are shown below by contractual maturity. Expected maturities can differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to prepay obligations without prepayment penalties.



	August 31, 2014
In millions	Amortized cost		Fair value
Maturity date:
Due in one year or less	$	340.6	$	343.3
Due after one year through three years	802.4		818.2
Due after three years through five years	757.0		768.8
Due after five years	826.1		836.8
Total	$	2,726.1	$	2,767.1

Variable rate demand notes are primarily categorized as due after five years in the table above as the contractual maturities on these securities are typically 20 to 30 years. Although these securities are issued as long-term securities, they are priced and traded as short-term instruments because of the liquidity provided through the tender feature.

Note E: Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price), in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The accounting standards related to fair value measurements include a hierarchy for information and valuations used in measuring fair value that is broken down into three levels based on reliability, as follows:


•	Level 1 valuations are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments that the Company can access at the measurement date.


•	Level 2 valuations are based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the instrument, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability including the following:


•	quoted prices for similar, but not identical, instruments in active markets;


•	quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active;


•	inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the instrument; or


•	inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.


•	Level 3 valuations are based on information that is unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short maturities of these instruments. Marketable securities included in funds held for clients and corporate investments consist primarily of securities classified as available-for-sale and are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.

Note E: Fair Value Measurements — continued

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows:

In determining the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company predominately uses the market approach. Money market securities, which are cash equivalents, are valued based on quoted market prices in active markets. Commercial paper is included in Level 2 because it may not trade on a daily basis. Available-for-sale securities and short-term municipal bonds with a maturity of less than 90 days included in Level 2 are valued utilizing inputs obtained from an independent pricing service. To determine the fair value of the Company’s Level 2 available-for-sale investments, a variety of inputs are utilized, including benchmark yields, reported trades, non-binding broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers, reference data, new issue data, and monthly payment information. The Company has not adjusted the prices obtained from the independent pricing service.

Note E: Fair Value Measurements — continued

Assets included as other are mutual fund investments, consisting of participants’ eligible deferral contributions under the Company’s non-qualified and unfunded deferred compensation plans. The related liability is reported as other long-term liabilities. The mutual funds are valued based on quoted market prices in active markets.

The preceding methods described may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, although the Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

Ending balance	$	26.0		$	(4.9	)

The total tax impact in other comprehensive income/(loss) for the three months ended August 31, 2014 was tax expense of $2.1 million. The total tax impact in other comprehensive income/(loss) for the three months ended August 31, 2013 was tax benefit of $15.6 million.

Reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) are for realized gains on the sales of available-for-sale securities. For the three months ended August 31, 2014 and 2013, these reclassification adjustments impacted interest on funds held for clients on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.

Note I: Commitments and Contingencies

Lines of credit: As of August 31, 2014, the Company had unused borrowing capacity available under four uncommitted, secured, short-term lines of credit at market rates of interest with financial institutions as follows:



Financial institution	Amount available	Expiration date
JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A.	$350 million	February 28, 2015
Bank of America, N.A.	$250 million	February 28, 2015
PNC Bank, National Association	$150 million	February 28, 2015
Wells Fargo Bank, National Association	$150 million	February 28, 2015

The primary uses of these lines of credit would be to meet short-term funding requirements related to deposit account overdrafts and client fund obligations arising from electronic payment transactions on behalf of clients in the ordinary course of business, if necessary. No amounts were outstanding under these lines of credit as of, or during the three months ended, August 31, 2014.

Certain of the financial institutions are also parties to the Company's credit facility and irrevocable standby letters of credit, which are discussed below.

Note I: Commitments and Contingencies – continued

Credit facility: In June 2013, the Company entered into a committed, unsecured, five-year syndicated credit facility, expiring on June 21, 2018. Under the credit facility, Paychex of New York LLP (the "Borrower") may, subject to certain restrictions, borrow up to $750 million to meet short-term funding requirements. The obligations under this facility have been guaranteed by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries. The outstanding obligations under this credit facility will bear interest at competitive rates based on options provided to the Borrower. Upon expiration of the commitment in June 2018, any borrowings outstanding will mature and be payable on such date. During the three months ended August 31, 2014, the Company borrowed $100.0 million overnight at an interest rate of 3.25%. There were no amounts outstanding under this credit facility as of August 31, 2014.

Certain lenders under this credit facility, and their respective affiliates, have performed, and may in the future perform for the Company and its subsidiaries, various commercial banking, investment banking, underwriting, and other financial advisory services, for which they have received, and will continue to receive in the future, customary fees and expenses.

Letters of credit: As of both August 31, 2014 and May 31, 2014, the Company had irrevocable standby letters of credit available totaling $43.0 million required to secure commitments for certain insurance policies. The letters of credit expire at various dates between December 2014 and July 2015. Upon draw down of funds, the letters of credit become collateralized by securities held in the Company’s investment portfolios. No amounts were outstanding on these letters of credit as of, or during the three months ended, August 31, 2014.

Other commitments: The Company enters into various purchase commitments with vendors in the ordinary course of business. The Company had outstanding commitments to purchase approximately $5.6 million and $16.0 million of capital assets as of August 31, 2014 and May 31, 2014, respectively.

In the normal course of business, the Company makes representations and warranties that guarantee the performance of services under service arrangements with clients. Historically, there have been no material losses related to such guarantees. In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its officers and directors, which require it to defend and, if necessary, indemnify these individuals for certain pending or future claims as they relate to their services provided to the Company.

Paychex currently self-insures the deductible portion of various insured exposures under certain employee benefit plans. The Company’s estimated loss exposure under these insurance arrangements is recorded in other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Historically, the amounts accrued have not been material and are not material as of the reporting date. The Company also maintains insurance coverage in addition to its purchased primary insurance policies for gap coverage for employment practices liability, errors and omissions, warranty liability, theft and embezzlement, cyber threats, and acts of terrorism; and capacity for deductibles and self-insured retentions through its captive insurance company.

Contingencies: The Company is subject to various claims and legal matters that arise in the normal course of its business. These include disputes or potential disputes related to breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, employment-related claims, tax claims, and other matters.

The Company’s management currently believes that resolution of any outstanding legal matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. However, legal matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and there exists the possibility that the ultimate resolution of these matters could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations in the period in which any such effect is recorded.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations reviews the operating results of Paychex, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (“we,” “our,” or “us”) for the three months ended August 31, 2014 (the “first quarter”) and August 31, 2013, and our financial condition as of August 31, 2014. The focus of this review is on the underlying business reasons for material changes and trends affecting our revenue, expenses, net income, and financial condition. This review should be read in conjunction with the August 31, 2014 consolidated financial statements and the related Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”). This review should also be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Form 10-K”) for the year ended May 31, 2014 (“fiscal 2014”). Forward-looking statements in this review are qualified by the cautionary statement included under the next sub-heading, “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements Pursuant to the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.”

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements Pursuant To The United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act Of 1995

Certain written and oral statements made by us may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the United States (“U.S.”) Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can be identified by such words and phrases as “we expect,” “expected to,” “estimates,” “estimated,” “current outlook,” “we look forward to,” “would equate to,” “projects,” “projections,” “projected to be,” “anticipates,” “anticipated,” “we believe,” “could be,” and other similar phrases. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements we make regarding operating performance, events, or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future, including statements relating to revenue growth, earnings, earnings-per-share growth, or similar projections.

Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on our current beliefs, expectations, and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy, and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks, and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict, many of which are outside our control. Our actual results and financial conditions may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not place undue reliance upon any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following:


•	general market and economic conditions including, among others, changes in U.S. employment and wage levels, changes to new hiring trends, legislative changes to stimulate the economy, changes in short- and long-term interest rates, changes in the fair value and the credit rating of securities held by us, and accessibility of financing;


•	changes in demand for our services and products, ability to develop and market new services and products effectively, pricing changes and the impact of competition;


•	changes in the availability of skilled workers, in particular those supporting our technology and product development;


•	changes in the laws regulating collection and payment of payroll taxes, professional employer organizations, and employee benefits, including retirement plans, workers’ compensation, health insurance (including health care reform legislation), state unemployment, and section 125 plans;


•	changes in health insurance and workers’ compensation rates and underlying claims trends;


•	changes in technology that adversely affect our products and services and impact our ability to provide timely enhancements to services and products;


•	the possibility of a security breach that disrupts operations or exposes client confidential data;


•	the possibility of failure of our operating facilities, computer systems, and communication systems during a catastrophic event;


•	the possibility of third-party service providers failing to perform their functions;


•	the possibility of a failure of internal controls or our inability to implement business processing improvements;


•	the possibility that we may be subject to liability for violations of employment or discrimination laws by our clients and acts or omissions of client employees who may be deemed to be our agents, even if we do not participate in any such acts or violations; and


•	potentially unfavorable outcomes related to pending legal matters.

Any of these factors, as well as such other factors as discussed in our other periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), could cause our actual results to differ materially from our anticipated results. The information provided in this document is based upon the facts and circumstances known at this time, and any forward-looking statement made by us in this document speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements after the date of filing of this Form 10-Q to reflect events or circumstances after such date, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Overview

We are pleased with our strong start to the fiscal year ending May 31, 2015 (“fiscal 2015”), as reflected in our financial results for the first quarter. Payroll service revenue continues to advance, growing 4% for the first quarter compared to the same period last year, and we continue to see strong demand for our comprehensive suite of human resource outsourcing solutions. Payroll service revenue benefited from growth in revenue per check, client base, and checks per payroll. New business revenue and units were strong for the first quarter. We continue to deliver client satisfaction and retention at high levels.

Our financial results continue to be impacted by the interest rate environment, as interest rates available on high-quality instruments remain low. Our combined funds held for clients and corporate investment portfolios earned an average rate of return of 1.1% for the first quarter compared to 1.0% for the same period last year.

We continue to focus on driving growth in clients, revenue, and profits, while providing industry-leading service and technology solutions to our clients and their employees. We are investing in our business, particularly in areas related to product development and supporting technology while maintaining strong operating income, net of certain items, as a percent of service revenue for the first quarter.

We have positioned ourselves to capitalize on the opportunities arising from the shift to online/SaaS solutions as we invest heavily in product development relating to our online/SaaS capabilities and mobile applications. Our Paychex Next Generation suite of innovative products and services includes a SaaS platform that combines the latest technology with superior customer service to provide human resource administrators a streamlined and integrated approach to workforce management. With this, all Paychex services, including payroll, time and attendance, HR, benefits, training, and performance management, are accessible on a single cloud-based platform with Paychex Single Sign-On. We believe continued investment in our technology is a key building block for future success.

During the first quarter, we enhanced our portfolio of products and services that provide value to our clients. We expanded our mobile applications by introducing mobile applications for both our Paychex Online Accounting Services and our expense management solution. The Paychex Accounting Online mobile application allows users to access their Paychex Accounting Online account from their iPad®, iPhone®, and iPod Touch® in order to keep track of their business finances anywhere and anytime. The mobile interface for expense management provides clients and their employees with anytime, anywhere accessibility to view, review, and analyze expense reports, upload receipt images, and check on the status of an expense report.

We also announced the Skylight® PayOptions™ Program, a payroll card program that allows employers to provide employees with a convenient alternative to traditional direct deposit and paper paychecks by directly depositing their wages onto the Skylight ONE® Prepaid MasterCard®.

We acquired nettime solutions, LLC, a leading cloud-based time and attendance solutions provider. This small business acquisition pairs Paychex’s exceptional customer service with the SaaS time and attendance technology of a market leader.

Highlights of the financial results for the first quarter as compared to the same period last year are as follows:


•	Total service revenue increased 9% to $656.6 million.


◦	Payroll service revenue increased 4% to $412.8 million.


◦	HRS revenue increased 17% to $243.8 million.


•	Interest on funds held for clients increased 2% to $10.2 million.


•	Total revenue increased 9% to $666.8 million.


•	Operating income increased 5% to $267.5 million and operating income, net of certain items, increased 5% to $257.3 million. Refer to the “Non-GAAP Financial Measure” section, which follows, for further information on this non-GAAP measure.


•	Diluted earnings per share increased 7% to $0.47 per share and net income increased 5% to $171.3 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

In addition to reporting operating income, a U.S. generally accepted accounting principle (“GAAP”) measure, we present operating income, net of certain items, which is a non-GAAP measure. We believe operating income, net of certain items, is an appropriate additional measure, as it is an indicator of our core business operations performance period over period. It is also the basis of the measure used internally for establishing the following year’s targets and measuring management’s performance in connection with certain performance-based compensation payments and awards. Operating income, net of certain items, excludes interest on funds held for clients. Interest on funds held for clients is an adjustment to operating income due to the volatility of interest rates that are not within the control of management. Operating income, net of certain items, is not calculated through the application of GAAP and is not the required form of disclosure by the SEC. As such, it should not be considered as a substitute for the GAAP measure of operating income and, therefore, should not be used in isolation, but in conjunction with the GAAP measure. The use of any non-GAAP measure may produce results that vary from the GAAP measure and may not be comparable to a similarly defined non-GAAP measure used by other companies. Refer to the reconciliation of operating income to operating income, net of certain items, in the “Results of Operations – Operating Income” section of this Form 10-Q.

Financial Position and Liquidity

Our financial position as of August 31, 2014, remained strong with cash and total corporate investments of $955.8 million and no debt.

Our investment strategy focuses on protecting principal and optimizing liquidity. Yields on high credit quality financial instruments remain low, negatively impacting our income earned on funds held for clients and corporate investments. We invest predominately in municipal bonds – general obligation bonds; pre-refunded bonds, which are secured by a U.S. government escrow; and essential services revenue bonds. During the first quarter, our primary short-term investment vehicles were bank demand deposit accounts and high quality variable rate demand notes (“VRDN”s).

A substantial portion of our portfolio is invested in high credit quality securities with AAA and AA ratings and A-1/P-1 ratings on short-term securities. We limit the amounts that can be invested in any single issuer and invest in short- to intermediate-term instruments whose fair values are less sensitive to interest rate changes. We believe that our investments as of August 31, 2014 were not other-than-temporarily impaired, nor has any event occurred subsequent to that date that would indicate any other-than-temporary impairment.

Our primary source of cash is generated from our ongoing operations. Cash flow from operations was $263.1 million for the first quarter. Historically, we have funded our operations, capital purchases, business acquisitions, share repurchases, and dividend payments from our operating activities. Our positive cash flows have allowed us to support our business and to pay substantial dividends to our stockholders. It is anticipated that cash and total corporate investments as of August 31, 2014, along with projected operating cash flows, will support our normal business operations, capital purchases, share repurchases, and dividend payments for the foreseeable future.

For further analysis of our results of operations for the first quarter and our financial position as of August 31, 2014, refer to the analysis and discussion in the “Results of Operations” and “Liquidity and Capital Resources” sections of this Form 10-Q.

Outlook

Our outlook for fiscal 2015 is based upon current market, economic, and interest rate conditions continuing with no significant changes. Our expected full year fiscal 2015 payroll revenue growth rate is based upon anticipated client base growth and increases in revenue per check, and is consistent with the growth rate experiences in the first quarter.

Our guidance is unchanged from that provided in June 2014 and is as follows:



	Low			High
Payroll service revenue	3	%	—	5	%
HRS revenue	16	%	—	19	%
Total service revenue	8	%	—	10	%
Net income	6	%	—	8	%

Our guidance for fiscal 2015 for: interest on funds held for clients; operating income, net of certain items, as a percentage of service revenue; and the effective income tax rate are unchanged from the guidance we previously provided.

Purchases of property and equipment for fiscal 2015 are expected to be in the range of $110 million to $120 million. This will include costs for internally developed software, as we continue to invest in our product development. Fiscal 2015 depreciation expense is projected to be in the range of $95 million to $100 million, and we project amortization of intangible assets for fiscal 2015 to be in the range of $15 million to $20 million.

Payroll service revenue: Payroll service revenue was $412.8 million for the first quarter, reflecting an increase of 4% compared to the same period last year. This increase was driven by growth in revenue per check, client base, and checks per payroll. Growth in revenue per check was the result of price increases, net of discounts, together with the impact of increased product penetration.

Human Resource Services revenue: HRS revenue was $243.8 million for the first quarter, reflecting an increase of 17% compared to the same period last year. The growth in HRS revenue was largely driven by the strong growth in clients and worksite employees served within our Paychex HR Services, which includes our ASO and PEO. Within Paychex HR Services, our PEO has continued to show strong growth in the number of worksite employees served. In addition, revenue for the first quarter increased as a result of a new product offering within the PEO, a minimum premium plan health care option for PEO clients and worksite employees, which we initiated in the second half of fiscal 2014. This new product offering represented approximately 7% of total HRS revenue for the first quarter. Our online HR administration services contributed to growth through sales success for our SaaS solutions. Retirement services revenue reflected growth in the number of plans served and benefited from an increase in the average asset value of participants’ funds.

Total service revenue: Total service revenue was $656.6 million for the first quarter, reflecting an increase of 9% compared to the same period last year. The increase was attributable to the items previously discussed.

Interest on funds held for clients: Interest on funds held for clients was $10.2 million for the first quarter, reflecting an increase of 2% compared to the same period last year. The fluctuation was driven by the impact of an increase of 3% in average investment balances. This increase was a result of wage inflation along with growth in client base and checks per payroll.

Combined operating and SG&A expenses: The following table summarizes total combined operating and selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses:



	For the three months ended August 31,
$ in millions	2014		2013		Change
Compensation-related expenses	$	256.2	$	238.3	7	%
Depreciation and amortization	26.5		24.4		8	%
Other expenses	116.6		95.3		22	%
Total operating and SG&A expenses	$	399.3	$	358.0	12	%

Total expenses were $399.3 million for the first quarter, reflecting an increase of 12% compared to the respective period last year. Compensation-related expenses increased 7% due to to higher performance-based compensation costs, employee-benefit-related costs, and sales headcount.

Depreciation expense is primarily related to buildings, furniture and fixtures, data processing equipment, and software. Amortization of intangible assets is primarily related to client list acquisitions, which are amortized using either straight-line or accelerated methods. The increases in depreciation and amortization were due to assets acquired as part of immaterial business acquisitions.

Other expenses include items such as non-capital equipment, delivery, forms and supplies, communications, travel and entertainment, professional services, and other costs incurred to support our business. Other expenses increased due to costs relating to the new product offering within our PEO, the minimum premium plan health care option, initiated in the second half of fiscal 2014. In addition, continued investment in product development and supporting technology impacted other expense growth.

Operating income: Operating income was $267.5 million for the first quarter, reflecting an increase of 5% compared with the same period last year. The changes in operating income were attributable to the factors previously discussed.

Operating income, net of certain items, is summarized as follows:



	For the three months ended August 31,
$ in millions	2014			2013			Change
Operating income	$	267.5		$	255.1		5	%
Excluding: Interest on funds held for clients	(10.2		)	(10.0		)	2	%
Operating income, net of certain items	$	257.3		$	245.1		5	%

Refer to the previous discussion of operating income, net of certain items, in the “Non-GAAP Financial Measure” section of this Form 10-Q.

Investment income, net: Investment income, net, primarily represents earnings from our cash and cash equivalents and investments in available-for-sale securities. Investment income does not include interest on funds held for clients, which is included in total revenue. Investment income, net, was $1.4 million for the first quarter, reflecting an increase of 13% compared to the same period last year. The increase for the first quarter was the result of higher average interest rates earned and slightly higher average investment balances. The growth rate for average investment balances was tempered by an increase in the shareholder dividend and stock repurchases.

Income taxes: Our effective income tax rate was 36.3% for the first quarter, compared with 36.5% for the respective prior year period. The decrease in the effective income tax rate was the result of changes in state effective tax rates.

Net income and earnings per share: Net income was $171.3 million for the first quarter, reflecting an increase of 5% compared to the same period last year. Diluted earnings per share was $0.47 per share for the first quarter, reflecting increases of 7% compared to the same period last year. These fluctuations were attributable to the factors previously discussed. In addition, diluted earnings per share growth was bolstered by the impact of repurchases of common stock during the first quarter and in fiscal 2014.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our financial position as of August 31, 2014 remained strong with cash and total corporate investments of $955.8 million and no debt. We believe that our investments as of August 31, 2014 were not other-than-temporarily impaired, nor has any event occurred subsequent to that date to indicate any other-than-temporary impairment. It is anticipated that cash and total corporate investments as of August 31, 2014, along with projected operating cash flows, will support our normal business operations, capital purchases, share repurchases, and dividend payments for the foreseeable future.

Commitments and Contingencies

Lines of credit: As of August 31, 2014, we had unused borrowing capacity available under four uncommitted, secured, short-term lines of credit at market rates of interest with financial institutions as follows:



Financial institution	Amount available	Expiration date
JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A.	$350 million	February 28, 2015
Bank of America, N.A.	$250 million	February 28, 2015
PNC Bank, National Association	$150 million	February 28, 2015
Wells Fargo Bank, National Association	$150 million	February 28, 2015

The primary uses of these lines of credit would be to meet short-term funding requirements related to deposit account overdrafts and client fund obligations arising from electronic payment transactions on behalf of our clients in the ordinary course of business, if necessary. No amounts were outstanding under these lines of credit as of, or during the three months ended, August 31, 2014.

The financial institutions are also parties to our credit facility and irrevocable standby letters of credit, which are discussed next.

Credit facility: In June 2013, we entered into a committed, unsecured, five-year syndicated credit facility, expiring on June 21, 2018. Under the credit facility, Paychex of New York LLP (the “Borrower”) may, subject to certain restrictions, borrow up to $750 million to meet short-term funding requirements. The obligations under this facility have been guaranteed by us and certain of our subsidiaries. The outstanding obligations under this credit facility will bear interest at competitive rates based on options provided to the Borrower. Upon expiration of the commitment in June 2018, any borrowings outstanding will mature and be payable on such date. During the first quarter, we borrowed $100.0 million overnight at an interest rate of 3.25%. There were no amounts outstanding under this credit facility as of August 31, 2014.

Certain lenders under this credit facility, and their respective affiliates, have performed, and may in the future perform for us and our subsidiaries, various commercial banking, investment banking, underwriting, and other financial advisory services, for which they have received, and will continue to receive in the future, customary fees and expenses.

Letters of credit: As of August 31, 2014, we had irrevocable standby letters of credit available totaling $43.0 million, required to secure commitments for certain insurance policies. The letters of credit expire at various dates between December 2014 and July 2015. Upon draw down of funds, the letters of credit become collateralized by securities held in our investment portfolios. No amounts were outstanding on these letters of credit as of, or during the three months ended, August 31, 2014.

Other commitments: We enter into various purchase commitments with vendors in the ordinary course of business. We had outstanding commitments to purchase approximately $5.6 million of capital assets as of August 31, 2014.

In the normal course of business, we make representations and warranties that guarantee the performance of services under service arrangements with clients. Historically, there have been no material losses related to such guarantees. In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with our officers and directors, which require us to defend and, if necessary, indemnify these individuals for certain pending or future legal claims as they relate to their services provided to us.

We currently self-insure the deductible portion of various insured exposures under certain employee benefit plans. Our estimated loss exposure under these insurance arrangements is recorded in other current liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Historically, the amounts accrued have not been material and are not material as of the reporting date. We also maintain insurance coverage in addition to our purchased primary insurance policies for gap coverage for employment practices liability, errors and omissions, warranty liability, theft and embezzlement, cyber threats, and acts of terrorism; and capacity for deductibles and self-insured retentions through our captive insurance company.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As part of our ongoing business, we do not participate in transactions with unconsolidated entities such as special purpose entities or structured finance entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other limited purposes. We do maintain investments as a limited partner in low-income housing projects that are not considered part of our ongoing operations. These investments are accounted for under the equity method of accounting and are less than 1% of our total assets as of August 31, 2014.

Operating Cash Flow Activities



	For the three months ended August 31,
In millions	2014		2013
Net income	$	171.3	$	162.8
Non-cash adjustments to net income	63.0		59.5
Cash provided by changes in operating assets and liabilities	28.8		44.4
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	263.1	$	266.7

The decrease in our operating cash flows for the first quarter, compared to the same period last year, was primarily a result of fluctuations in operating assets and liabilities offset by higher net income and non-cash adjustments to net income. The fluctuations in our operating assets and liabilities were primarily related to the timing of collections from clients and payments for compensation, PEO payroll, income tax payments, and other liabilities. Non-cash adjustments to net income were impacted by higher depreciation expense and amortization of premiums on available-for-sale securities.

Investing Cash Flow Activities



	For the three months ended August 31,
In millions	2014			2013
Net change in funds held for clients and corporate investment activities	$	412.8		$	56.6
Purchases of property and equipment	(24.9		)	(25.1		)
Acquisition of business, net of cash acquired	(27.5		)	—
Purchases of other assets	(1.5		)	(0.7		)
Net cash provided by investing activities	$	358.9		$	30.8

Funds held for clients and corporate investments: Funds held for clients consist of short-term funds and available-for-sale securities. Corporate investments are primarily comprised of available-for-sale securities. The portfolio of funds held for clients and corporate investments is detailed in Note D of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

The fluctuations in the net change in funds held for clients and corporate investment activities for the first three months of fiscal 2015 and 2014 reflect net cash inflows. There was a larger inflow during the first quarter compared to the prior year period primarily due to mix of investments. For the first quarter, there were more short-term investments in demand deposit accounts rather than in VRDNs. VRDNs are classified as available-for-sale securities and the larger sales than purchases of these securities during the first quarter resulted in a higher cash inflow in the investing activities. Bank demand deposit accounts for the corporate portfolio are included in cash and cash equivalents and these deposits are not reflected in cash flows from investing activities.

In general, fluctuations in net funds held for clients and corporate investment activities primarily relate to timing of purchases, sales, or maturities of investments. The amount of funds held for clients will also vary based upon the timing of collecting client funds, and the related remittance of funds to applicable tax or regulatory agencies for payroll tax administration services and to employees of clients utilizing employee payment services. Additional discussion of interest rates and related risks is included in the “Market Risk Factors” section of this Form 10-Q.

Purchases of long-lived assets: To support our continued client and ancillary product growth, we made purchases of data processing equipment and software, and we expanded and upgraded various operating facilities. Acquisitions of businesses, net of cash acquired, reflect an immaterial acquisition during the first quarter.

Financing Cash Flow Activities



	For the three months ended August 31,
In millions, except per share amounts	2014			2013
Net change in client fund obligations	$	(137.1	)	$	(126.6	)
Dividends paid	(138.3		)	(127.9		)
Repurchases of common stock	(37.5		)	(83.9		)
Equity activity related to stock-based awards	1.0			45.2
Net cash used in financing activities	$	(311.9	)	$	(293.2	)
Cash dividends per common share	$	0.38		$	0.35

Net change in client fund obligations: The client fund obligations liability will vary based on the timing of collecting client funds and the related required remittance of funds to applicable tax or regulatory agencies for payroll tax administration services and to employees of clients utilizing employee payment services. Collections from clients are typically remitted from one to 30 days after receipt, with some items extending to 90 days.

The cash outflows related to the net change in client fund obligations for the first three months of fiscal 2015 and 2014 were the result of higher remittances of employee tax withholdings than collections. This is typical for our first fiscal quarters due to a reduction in tax collections due to FICA limits being reached. The slightly higher cash outflow for the first quarter compared to the same period last year was due to growth in clients and checks per payroll.

Dividends paid: In July 2014, the quarterly shareholder dividend was increased 9% to $0.38 per share from $0.35 per share. The increase in dividend payments for the first quarter compared to the prior year period is due to this increase in dividend offset by the impact of less shares outstanding as a result of repurchases of our common stock. The payment of future dividends is dependent on our future earnings and cash flow and is subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors (the “Board”).

Repurchases of common stock: In May 2014, the Board authorized the repurchase of up to $350 million of our common stock, with the authorization expiring May 31, 2017. During the first quarter, we repurchased 0.9 million shares for $37.5 million. During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, we repurchased 2.1 million shares for $83.9 million under the previous board-approved stock repurchase program which expired in May 2014.

Equity activity related to stock-based awards: Equity activity related to stock-based awards decreased as a result of lower stock option exercise activity in the first quarter compared to the same period last year. For the first quarter, 0.2 million options were exercised, compared with 1.5 million options for the same period last year.

MARKET RISK FACTORS

Changes in interest rates and interest rate risk: Funds held for clients are primarily comprised of short-term funds and available-for-sale securities. Corporate investments are primarily comprised of available-for-sale securities. As a result of our operating and investing activities, we are exposed to changes in interest rates that may materially affect our results of operations and financial position. Changes in interest rates will impact the earnings potential of future investments and will cause fluctuations in the fair value of our longer-term available-for-sale securities. We follow an investment strategy of protecting principal and optimizing liquidity. A substantial portion of our portfolio is invested in high credit quality securities with AAA and AA ratings, and A-1/P-1 ratings on short-term securities. We invest predominantly in municipal bonds: general obligation bonds; pre-refunded bonds, which are secured by a U.S. government escrow; and essential services revenue bonds. We limit the amounts that can be invested in any single issuer and invest primarily in short- to intermediate-term instruments whose fair value is less sensitive to interest rate changes. We manage the available-for-sale securities to a benchmark duration of two and one-half to three and three-quarters years.

During the first quarter, our primary short-term investment vehicles were bank demand deposit accounts and VRDNs. We have no exposure to high-risk or illiquid investments such as auction rate securities, sub-prime mortgage securities, asset-backed securities or asset-backed commercial paper, collateralized debt obligations, enhanced cash or cash plus mutual funds, or structured investment vehicles (SIVs). We have insignificant exposure to European investments. We have not and do not utilize derivative financial instruments to manage our interest rate risk.

During the first quarter, the average interest rate earned on our combined funds held for clients and corporate investment portfolios was 1.1%, compared with 1.0% for the same period last year. When interest rates are rising, the full impact of higher interest rates will not immediately be reflected in net income due to the interaction of short- and long-term interest rate changes. During a rising interest rate environment, the increases in interest rates increase earnings from our short-term investments, and over time increase earnings from our longer-term available-for-sale securities. Earnings from the available-for-sale-securities, which as of August 31, 2014 had an average duration of 3.3 years, would not reflect increases in interest rates until the investments are sold or mature and the proceeds are reinvested at higher rates. In the next twelve months, slightly less than 15% of our long-term investment portfolio, which excludes VRDNs, will mature, and it is currently anticipated that these proceeds will be reinvested at an average interest rate of approximately 1.5%.



	August 31, 2014
In millions	Amortized cost		Fair value
Maturity date:
Due in one year or less	$	340.6	$	343.3
Due after one year through three years	802.4		818.2
Due after three years through five years	757.0		768.8
Due after five years	826.1		836.8
Total	$	2,726.1	$	2,767.1

VRDNs are primarily categorized as due after five years in the table above as the contractual maturities on these securities are typically 20 to 30 years. Although these securities are issued as long-term securities, they are priced and traded as short-term instruments because of the liquidity provided through the tender feature.

The Federal Funds rate has remained at a range of zero to 0.25% since December 2008.

Calculating the future effects of changing interest rates involves many factors. These factors include, but are not limited to:


•	daily interest rate changes;


•	seasonal variations in investment balances;


•	actual duration of short-term and available-for-sale securities;


•	the proportion of taxable and tax-exempt investments;


•	changes in tax-exempt municipal rates versus taxable investment rates, which are not synchronized or simultaneous; and


•	financial market volatility and the resulting effect on benchmark and other indexing interest rates.

Subject to these factors and under normal financial market environment, a 25-basis-point change in taxable interest rates generally affects our tax-exempt interest rates by approximately 17 basis points. Under normal financial market conditions, the impact to earnings from a 25-basis-point change in interest rates would be approximately $4.0 million, after taxes, for the next twelve-month period. Such a basis point change may or may not be tied to changes in the Federal Funds rate.

Our total investment portfolio (funds held for clients and corporate investments) is expected to average approximately $4.9 billion for fiscal 2015. Our anticipated allocation is approximately 45% invested in short-term and VRDNs with an average duration of less than 30 days and 55% invested in available-for-sale securities with an average duration of two and one-half to three and three-quarters years.

The combined funds held for clients and corporate available-for-sale securities reflected a net unrealized gain of $41.0 million as of August 31, 2014, compared with a net unrealized gain of $34.5 million as of May 31, 2014. During the first quarter, the net unrealized gain/loss on our investment portfolios ranged from a net unrealized gain of $24.6 million to a net unrealized gain of $41.0 million. These fluctuations were driven by changes in market rates of interest. Our investment portfolios reflected a net unrealized gain of approximately $33.2 million as of September 19, 2014.

As of August 31, 2014 and May 31, 2014, we had $2.8 billion and $3.4 billion, respectively, invested in available-for-sale securities at fair value. The weighted-average yield-to-maturity was 1.6% as of both August 31, 2014 and May 31, 2014. The weighted-average yield-to-maturity excludes available-for-sale securities tied to short-term interest rates, such as VRDNs. Assuming a hypothetical increase in longer-term interest rates of 25 basis points, the resulting potential decrease in fair value for our portfolio of available-for-sale securities held as of August 31, 2014 would be in the range of $20.0 million to $25.0 million. Conversely, a corresponding decrease in interest rates would result in a comparable increase in fair value. This hypothetical increase or decrease in the fair value of the portfolio would be recorded as an adjustment to the portfolio’s recorded value, with an offsetting amount recorded in stockholders’ equity. These fluctuations in fair value would have no related or immediate impact on the results of operations, unless any declines in fair value were considered to be other-than-temporary and an impairment loss recognized.

Credit Risk: We are exposed to credit risk in connection with these investments through the possible inability of the borrowers to meet the terms of their bonds. We regularly review our investment portfolios to determine if any investment is other-than-temporarily impaired due to changes in credit risk or other potential valuation concerns. We believe that the investments we held as of August 31, 2014 were not other-than-temporarily impaired. While $266.7 million of our available-for-sale securities had fair values that were below amortized cost, we believe that it is probable that the principal and interest will be collected in accordance with the contractual terms, and that the unrealized losses totaling $1.3 million were due to changes in interest rates and were not due to increased credit risk or other valuation concerns. A substantial portion of the securities in an unrealized loss position as of August 31, 2014 and May 31, 2014 held an AA rating or better. We do not intend to sell these investments until the recovery of their amortized cost basis or maturity, and further believe that it is not more-likely-than-not that we will be required to sell these investments prior to that time. Our assessment that an investment is not other-than-temporarily impaired could change in the future due to new developments or changes in our strategies or assumptions related to any particular investment.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our critical accounting policies are described in Item 7 of our Form 10-K for fiscal 2014, filed with the SEC on July 22, 2014. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate the critical accounting policies used to prepare our consolidated financial statements, including, but not limited to, those related to:


•	revenue recognition;


•	PEO workers’ compensation insurance;


•	goodwill and other intangible assets;


•	stock-based compensation costs; and


•	income taxes.

There have been no material changes in these aforementioned critical accounting policies.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures: Disclosure controls and procedures are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), such as this report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures: As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based on such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer) have concluded that as of August 31, 2014, the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting: The Company also carried out an evaluation of the internal controls over financial reporting to determine whether any change occurred during the quarter ended August 31, 2014. Based on such evaluation, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the most recently completed fiscal quarter ended August 31, 2014, that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
