NEW YORK - Dayforce Inc. (NYSE:DAY) reported fourth quarter earnings that beat analyst expectations on Wednesday, but issued weaker-than-expected guidance for 2025.
The stock dipped 0.29% in after-hours trading following the results.
The human capital management technology company posted adjusted earnings per share of $0.60, surpassing the $0.45 consensus estimate. Revenue grew 16.4% YoY to $465.2 million, also topping expectations of $455.42 million.
Dayforce recurring revenue, a key metric, increased 19.1% to $347.9 million. The company’s annual Dayforce gross revenue retention rate reached a record 98%.
"2024 was a year of outstanding progress and innovation for Dayforce," said CEO David Ossip. "We are optimistic about 2025 as current and prospective customers continue to recognize the value the Dayforce platform provides."
However, Dayforce’s outlook for 2025 came in below analyst projections. The company expects Q1 revenue of $421-427 million, compared to the $483.3 million consensus. For the full year, Dayforce sees revenue of $1.745-1.76 billion, below estimates of $1.961 billion.
CFO Jeremy Johnson noted the company plans to continue executing on its vision while "operating the business for optimal cash generation." Dayforce raised its 2025 adjusted EBITDA margin guidance by 100 basis points to 32%.
