EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Founded in 1949, Automatic Data Processing (ADP) has emerged as the largest global provider of payroll outsourcing services in terms of revenue. In September 2014, the company spun off its dealer services unit. Today, it serves more than 650,000 clients and no single client or group of affiliated clients accounted for revenues more than 2% of ADP’s annual consolidated revenues in 2016.

After a detailed study of the end market demand drivers, the 5 Year CAGR for revenue was estimated to be 6.3% during the forecast horizon (2017-2021). This estimated top line revenue growth coupled with ADP’s efforts to increase same revenue from existing clients to increase the margin are the major drivers of the DCF model used to compute the intrinsic value of ADP’s stock. The model suggests a 24% upside on the current stock price (as of April 14th, 2017), which is the driver for the “Buy” recommendation for ADP.

COMPANY DESCRIPTION

Automatic Data Processing (ADP) is the largest global provider of payroll outsourcing services. Two major segments identified are Employer services (payroll processing, tax and benefits administration services) and PEO (professional employer organization) services. Other offerings include accounting, auto collision estimates for insurers, employment background checks, desktop support, and business development training services. The company in 2014 spun off its former dealer services segment.

Source: 10-k

The chart explains that 71% of the total revenue in FY 2016 was contributed by Employer Services segment which provides HR Business Process Outsourcing and technology-enabled Human Capital Management (HCM). Professional employer organization(PEO) services that provides HR management services via TotalSource, contributes to 26% of overall revenue and a small portion of 3% is contributed by interest that ADP has earned on funds held for clients.

Major Segments:

Employer Services

The employer services segment (71%) segment offers a comprehensive range of HR Business Process Outsourcing and technology-enabled HCM solutions. ADP serves approximately 530,000 clients via its strategic software as a service (“SaaS”) offerings, commonly referred to as “the cloud.”(1) These services include payroll services, benefit administration, talent management, HR management, Time and Attendance Management, Insurance Services, Retirement Services and Tax and Compliance Services. The mobile applications enable businesses to process their payroll, and enable more than 8.1 million employees around the world to access their information.

The clients range from single employee small businesses to large businesses with multinational operations.

Source: 10-K

The chart explains that only 18% of clients in US are ones who have more than 1000 employees (large clients), 9% have 50 to 999 employees (medium-sized) and 72% have 1-49 employees (small-sized). Client retention is estimated at approximately 11 years in Employer Services.

Revenues increased by 4% in 2016 primarily due to new business bookings from new business started during the past twelve months. Revenue increase also contributed by impact of price increases, and an increase in the number of employees on clients’ payrolls. In 2016, Employer Services' overall margin increased from 30.5% to 31.1%. We assume this to remain the same.

As per the revenue guidance provided by ADP in January 2017 for fiscal year 2017, management expects revenue for Employer Services to grow by 3-4% YoY. Due to weaker bookings trajectory, management lowered expected growth rate from 4-5%. Uncertainty about changes in the ACA and Department of Labor's Overtime Rule can reduce the demand as clients wait to gain further clarity on the impact these changes will have on their business. We expect margin expansion in Employer Services of 25 to 50 basis points and a 2.5% growth in pays per control. We have modelled this revenue growth for calculation of intrinsic value of share.

PEO (professional employer organization) Services

As a PEO, ADP TotalSource provides complete HR management services to the clients. ADP TotalSource combines key HR management and employee benefits functions, including HR administration, employee benefits, and employer liability management, into a single-source solution.

PEO Services' revenues increased 16% in fiscal 2016, as compared to fiscal 2015 due to a 13% increase in the average number of worksite employees. This was driven by an increase in the number of new PEO Services clients and growth in the existing clients. Client retention is estimated at approximately 7 years in PEO Services. This segment has also observed higher client participation and higher benefit pass-through costs in PEO benefit offerings.

As per the revenue guidance for fiscal year 2017, management expects revenue for PEO Services to grow by 13 % YoY. Initially management had issued revenue guidance of 14-16 % for FY17. The guidance was lowered due to lower booking trajectory.

ADP now expects PEO Services segment margin expansion of at least 100 basis points. Earlier margin forecast was of about 75 basis points. This has been included in our valuation model.

Interest on Funds held for clients

Client funds are invested in accordance with ADP’s prudent and conservative investment guidelines to ensure the safety, liquidity and diversification of ADP clients’ funds.

In fiscal 2016, interest on funds held for clients of $377.3 million. We observed a Y-o-Y decrease of 0.11 % in the consolidated interest earned on funds held for clients due to the decrease in average interest rates 2016 partially offset by 2.8% increase in the average client funds balances in 2016.

Assuming an increase in the Fed Funds rate in FY 2017, ADP expects interest on funds held for clients to increase by $15 million, compared to the prior forecast of $5 to $10 million, or 2% to 3%. This is based on anticipated growth in average client funds balances of approximately 3% from $22.4 billion in fiscal 2016.

Geographic Distribution:

The company provides services in more than 100 countries spread across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and the Asia Pacific region. Almost 85% of revenue comes from United States.

Source: 10-k

Most of ADP’s revenues come from the U.S. The company is trying to diversify geographically. It had acquired a majority interest in a leading Chinese provider of HR outsourcing services and trying to reach other emerging markets too.

Pays per Control

Pays per control is a metric that indicates the average number of employees ADP serves for a client, ranging from small to large businesses. One of the reasons, for the revenue growth of ADP is increase in the pays per control Y-o-Y. A very small incremental investment required to add a new customer or an employee to an existing platform and this savings in installation costs have resulted in high incremental returns and margins. As the number of employees increase, ADP’s margins increase because employers pay a flat service fee initially for system installation and then pay additional fees for every employee added to their system.

Same-client employees

Source: 10-K

The chart explains that the pays per control has been increasing Y-o-Y and is estimated to grow at 2.5% for 2017.

Cost Structure

Source: 10-K

The chart explains all the cost structure of ADP and major expenses as a percentage of total expenses. Major expenses incurred by ADP are:

•Operating Expenses include the costs directly attributable to servicing clients such as employee salaries, costs for employee benefits coverage, workers' compensation coverage, state unemployment taxes for worksite employees. Forecasted to remain 52% of revenue as for FY 2016.

•Selling, general and administrative expenses include implementation expenses to support growth in new business bookings as well as costs to serve existing client base to support revenue growth. We have seen increase in severance expenses for workforce optimization. Forecasted to remain 23% of revenue as for FY 2016.

•Systems development and programming costs are costs to develop, support, and maintain ADP’s products. These include expenses for activities such as client migrations to new strategic platforms, purchases of new software and software licenses. Forecasted to remain 5% of revenue as for FY 2016.

Technological Development

The business model of ADP mainly focusses on providing Human Capital Management solutions to the clients. To serve the unique needs of diverse types of businesses, ADP provides a range of solutions, via a software and service-based delivery model, which businesses of all sizes can use to recruit, staff, pay, manage, and retain employees. It provides solutions that enable the clients to outsource the HR, time and attendance management, payroll, and benefits administration functions to ADP. So, it has to keep developing new tools and technology to improve efficiency and retain the clients.

In 2016, ADP spent 5.2% of revenue on system development and programming and we estimate that it will be the same for the forecasted period (2017-2021). The focus on product innovation and the high demand for additional HCM solutions is driving sales for ADP.

Key Risks

•Employment rate: ADP is greatly exposed to the overall health of the labor market. If employment rate goes down, revenue will go down. So, it is in the favor of ADP that the unemployment rate is falling. The Henry Fund team believes that the unemployment will settle at 4.6% in the next 6 months and 4.75% in the next 24 months. This positive outlook for employment has been incorporated into the model.

•Regulatory changes: The performance also depends on potential regulatory changes to the Affordable Care Act. Health care policy changes can have significant impact on health insurance provided by employers to employees and on the health insurance market for the small and mid-sized businesses that ultimately will impact ADP’s PEO business’ clients and prospects affecting the sales.

•Data Privacy: ADP is exposed to risks related to data privacy and protecting these data from security breaches or technology disruption as the company increasingly handles more employee data on cloud systems. The European Union adopted a comprehensive general data privacy regulation (the “GDPR”) in May 2016. Data Privacy policies imposed by the GDPR may require ADP to amend certain of our business practices.

•Technological advancements: As discussed, Human Capital Management and payroll processing industry is subject to rapid technological advances. To meet client demands, ADP must upgrade and enhance existing solutions and services. Failure to keep up with the technological advancements with competitors can adversely affect the demand and revenues of the company.

•Currency Fluctuation: A sizeable portion of the revenues (almost 15%) is earned outside the United States. This has exposed ADP to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates that could impact the results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

Key merits

•Companies often do not risk substituting their payroll service provider out of fear it could result in errors that could result in fines due to complex reporting requirements and compliances. Also, many of ADP’s clients are small and mid-sized businesses that may not have an HR department.

•ADP has a strong balance sheet, steady cash inflow and recurring revenue stream as it enters contracts with clients for a period of 2-7 years. It is making many acquisitions and has many potentially accretive acquisitions.

•There are good prospects of revenue growth in this industry. Overall industry is expected to grow at CAGR of 4.5% (22). Companies are readily adopting HCM solutions faster.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

On February 1, 2017, ADP announced its second quarter earnings for fiscal year 2017. A few highlights were:

EPS

For second quarter of FY 2017, ADP has declared strong results. It reported earnings that beat market consensus by $0.06 (14) at $0.87.

Revenue

Revenue for second quarter went up by 6% to $3 billion

even though there was a decline of 5% in new business

bookings. When compared to a strong second quarter of

2016, the benefits of strong prior period bookings in new

business were clearly evident in this quarter. The

company saw decline in revenue from mid- and large-

clients during second quarter due to uncertainty around

the US presidential election and potential regulatory

changes related to Affordable Care Act (ACA). In addition

to the continued benefits resulting from strong prior

period bookings, strengthening in the retention metric

helped the firm in driving organic revenue growth across

all the revenue segments.

Small business bookings remained strong. Net bookings fell 5% YoY in the quarter. Pipelines remain solid, but ADP is seeing a longer selling cycle. Management expects a return to bookings growth in second half of 2017.

Future Estimate

The management has revised its revenue growth guidance due to lower bookings. It expects revenue for Employer Services to grow by 3-4 % YoY. Initially the management had issued revenue guidance of 4-5 % for FY17 and then lowered it, because of the weaker bookings graph. Revenue for PEO Services is expected to grow by 13 % YoY. Initially the management had issued revenue growth guidance of 14-16 % for FY17. Our estimates are well within the market consensus estimates.

Revenue Analysis

Source: 10-K and HF estimates

The chart above shows the expected trend of revenue for next three forecasted years as part of our valuation model (2017-2019) . It depicts that the Employer services and PEO will continue to grow and expected to drive total revenue higher by CAGR 6.3%.

Acquisitions and Divesture Strategy

The Marcus Buckingham Company

In January 2017, ADP acquired The Marcus Buckingham Company (TMBC), an innovator in human capital management (HCM), for total cash consideration of around USD 70 million. This is to provide ADP clients with a more scientific approach to employee engagement and performance. This US company’s technology and renowned research adds to the existing talent portfolio and puts ADP in the list of innovative organizations who are thinking differently about how they manage and engage their talent. TMBC's cloud-based performance and talent management solution, StandOut, couples applications with coaching and education to give team leaders the tools, insights and data needed to turn talent into better employee performance. This is ADP’s strategy to strengthen and differentiate itself. This is a relatively smaller acquisition, so we have not included any impact in our valuation model.

COBRA and CHSA business

The company has divested businesses when the price is right.

In fiscal 2017, the company sold off its Consumer Health Spending Account ("CHSA") and Consolidated Omnibus Reconciliation Act ("COBRA") businesses for $235 million to WageWorks booking a gain of nearly $200 million. WageWorks and ADP have also formed a partnership. ADP sales representatives will offer WageWorks’ full suite of products and services to their extensive client base and future customers.

Client Retention

Average client retention is 11 years, and this helps ADP to raise prices with little resistance. Retention improved despite ADP keeping pace on mid-market migrations to the Workforce Now platform. The service realignment initiative should improve client service levels over time as well.

EBIT Margin

In fiscal year 2016, EBIT margin widened considerably from 18.9% to 19.2%.(1) While in second quarter FY 2017, it widened 230 basis points due to strong investments in both ACA (Affordable Care Act ) and HCM sales.

Management maintained adjusted EBIT margin guidance for 50bp of expansion and FY17 adjusted EPS growth of 11-13% YoY.

Dividends

ADP pays out significant amount of its earnings to shareholders. Historically, ADP has maintained a dividend payout ratio in the range of 55% to 65%. ADP is a steady dividend payer that has raised its dividend every year for the last 40 years. We have assumed the payout ratio to remain constant at average rate of 62% for our valuation model. In April 2017, ADP declared $0.57/share quarterly dividend in line with previous years. Current yield is supposed to be 2.21%.

Share Repurchases

As ADP’s stock has climbed in value, the company has accelerated repurchases. In fiscal 2016, the company reduced its share count by more than 3.5% and it continues to repurchase additional shares and this is captured in the model. ADP is expected to spend over 6 billion in stock repurchases during the forecast horizon.

INDUSTRY TRENDS

Tax Complexities and Affordable Care Act

The increasing tax complexities and regulation varying across geographies is currently working in the favor of ADP and other payroll service providers. The complexity of the ACA and its reporting requirements has created additional revenue opportunities for payroll service providers strengthen ADP’s grip on their customer base.

Cloud Competitors

There have been growing concerns about new competition arising from cloud competitors. This is because people believe that a software-as-a-solution, or SaaS, platform addresses all of the human resource needs of businesses and will disrupt payroll processing industry’s existing model. This proves to be a threat but

ADP has been using cloud service solutions for many years. Even though companies start using their own software, they will still require customer care and human intervention to understand and solve the complexities of payroll, taxes, and benefits administration. This means that ADP will still have revenue sources and has a sustainable business model.

Source : Statista

As per the chart, we can see how SaaS revenue in HCM has gained momentum from 2010 to 2015 in various functions. The growth is outstanding in Performance management and E-recruiting areas.

Products /Services segmentation - Industry

Source: IBIS World

As from the chart above, we can derive that the Human Capital Management industry is majorly dominated by the full-service payroll services (58%). The second major function is billing services (15%) followed by other small functions. We expect sales in all other areas like tax

Page 8

planning and billing services to grow in coming years. As the industry grows, we see a great potential for ADP to expand and grow in these areas and identify the revenue generation segments.

Client segmentation in market

Source: IBIS World

This chart shows the size of the markets that buy the industry’s products or use its services. It is based on the proportion of revenue each buying segment contributes to total industry revenue.

Market segmentation chart suggests that 47.5% of revenue of human capital management services comes from other private businesses which is a pool of smaller industries. These small businesses lack resources and funds to invest in their internal Human Capital Management systems. This is a big segment that ADP can target to increase revenue and grow. Almost 17% comes from Technology-producing companies and other smaller percentages from different companies. We expect the composition to remain the same in coming years.

MARKETS AND COMPETITION

Payroll service industry is a highly competitive market and has high market penetration. But the barriers to entry for this industry are high as well since payroll outsourcing requires huge capital investment. The company needs to have sizeable infrastructure and skilled employees in substantial number. Economies of scale is another factor of big market players like ADP and Paychex which give them the competitive advantage. Problem can arise if there remains lack of differentiation between products and services these companies provide.

So if BPOs start providing HCM services to clients, they could potentially pull away business as they already have infrastructure and capital. All they need is to partner with an entrepreneur or a small payroll processing organization.

Major Companies:

Source: IBIS World

The chart suggests that ADP has 17% of the market share in the HR & payroll software industry in terms of revenue. Major players in the Human Capital Management industry that compete with ADP are Insperity Inc, PayChex Inc., Intuit, Trinet Group, WageWorks, Workday and others.

Paychex specializes in servicing smaller businesses with fewer than 25 employees but ADP focus on midsized businesses with approximately 50 employees. When ADP loses a customer, it is usually at different ends of the size spectrum. Recently, ADP has seen customer losses to Ultimate Software and Workday which specialize in servicing companies with more than 1,000 employees.

ADP achieves its best margins somewhere between 25 and 100 employees. Here customer attrition is low and these customers often do not have fully developed HR and accounting departments. When ADP loses a customer in this segment of the market, it is typically due to a client going out of business.

Price

More than 72% of ADP’s clients are small sized (1-49 employees). In this segment, payroll processors compete on the prices that they offer. Paychex is ADP’s biggest competitor in this segment. There is also a pressure from new entrants who try to capture the market by attractive price offerings like company named Gusto. Below is an example of how closely these companies compete.

Profitability ratios

ADP does not have attractive gross and net margins when compared to its peers Paychex and Intuit. We expect margins to improve. Our valuation model is extremely sensitive to the operational costs. A small increase in 1% in Selling, General and administration expenses can change our decision to HOLD.

Price / Earnings ratio

The chart below represents the Forward P/E ratios of ADP’s peers. We see that ADP has the highest P/E ratio in comparison to its peers. But due to different revenue segments and earnings composition, it is difficult to make a head to head comparison of all these peer companies. When we compare, them using relative P/E method, we assume that market values peer stocks accurately. And ignore other qualitative factors impacting these prices. Also, many technology companies tend to have higher

P/E multiples. So, we cannot arrive at value of stock to provide a realistic comparison.

ADP’s Competitive Positioning:

ADP is very well placed and ranked in the market leaders. It has strong profitability majorly due to reasons like high customer switching costs, economies of scale and their brand image. ADP is able to enter into long term contracts with its clients because it is very difficult to switch outsourced human resources processes to another provider. Average client retention is 10 years.

ADP can be price competitive because of company’s economies of scale and have no margin pressure as it can leverage its large 650,000-member client base to spread out costs associated with its servicing infrastructure. The company has created a very strong brand image for reliability and accuracy. So, clients trust ADP when it comes to critical HR functions.

Acquisitions:

Acquisition is a common strategy to grow and be a market leader in the payroll service industry. Big companies have been acquiring smaller companies to expand their offerings. ADP has made several acquisitions in past and including Probusiness.

ECONOMIC OUTLOOK

We have a positive fundamental outlook for the data processing and outsourced services. In companies in this industry have had good growth and posted healthy earnings in last few years and we expect it to continue in future.

There is a strong correlation between growth of this industry and global employment growth. So, it is extremely necessary to forecast the US employment rate. It is also important to track the GDP growth forecasts for US as it forms the biggest market for ADP’s products. With over 85% of ADP’s revenue coming from United States, it is important to track the foreign currency rate for USD. Ultimately the revenue earned from interest on funds held for clients is highly dependent on Fed Fund rates, we should forecast and estimate the rise in interest rates for coming years.

Unemployment rate

Source: IBIS world

Revenue from payroll processing services has an inverse relationship with the unemployment rates. So, lower unemployment rates are better for ADP. Human Capital Management’s business benefits significantly from increased employment. Increase in an employee on employer’s payroll, increases ADP’s revenue.

Source: www.tradingeconomics.com

The unemployment rate in the US has continued to decline. Current unemployment rate is 4.7% in Feb 2017 (18) and the Henry Fund team believes that unemployment will reach 4.5% over next 6 months. This rising employment rates indicate positive impacts on ADP’s revenue.

FED Interest rates

Federal Reserve Bank raised FED Funds rate in March 2017 and left the door open for further rates hikes. We forecast the fed funds rate will reach 1.7% over the 2 years’ horizon, while we estimate it to remain stable at 1% over the next six months. The increase will lead to increased borrowing costs which means that ADP will earn higher interest income on the funds held for clients The table below depicts interest rate trends.

ADP’s Balance sheet represent funds held for clients which are assets that are used to satisfy the obligations to remit funds relating to the Company’s payroll and payroll tax filing services. These funds have been invested in short-term and long-term marketable securities. As markets increases the interest rates in response to increase in Fed Funds rate, ADP earns a higher interest on these invested securities. In FY 2016, ADP earned $ 377 million as interest on invested funds.

GDP Growth

Source: Tradingeconomics.com

Going forward, the US GDP will grow and is expected to remain stable at around 3% (2017-2019) and this should translate to a steady demand for payroll processing and Human Capital Management services. We expect this growth in the light of new rules and policies coming up which are pro-business.

ADP’s business will be positively impacted by the GDP growth and expected to grow the business.

Strengthening Dollar

Stronger dollar is likely to put downward pressure on US exports. 15% of ADP’s revenue is dependent on revenue contributions from international sales. This has exposed ADP to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates that could impact the results of operations, financial position and cash flows. In 2016, ADP incurred $ 25 million loss due to currency translation adjustments.

With new pro-business policies coming up, Henry Fund team forecasts that US Dollar will continue to strengthen in coming 2 years and likely to have a negative impact revenues earned outside USA. Usually firms in this

industry hedge against currency foreign currency receivables to minimize the risk of currency fluctuations.

INVESTMENT POSITIVES

• ADP has seen healthy gains for Employer Services and Professional Employer Organization (PEO) Services. ADP has successfully aligned its HCM service model and cloud focused strategy. The company has continued to perform better even after losing client revenue from recent CHSA and COBRA business sale

• ADP is one of the biggest player in the human capital management market and has many advantages due to its scale and reach

• EBIT margin widened considerably in FY16, and expanded by 230 basis points in second quarter for FY 2017.

• ADP’s client retention is approximately 11 years in Employer Services, and approximately 7 years in PEO Services, and has remained constant.

• Throughout its existence, ADP has benefited from fluctuating levels of labor regulation and benefit compliance. For e.g. whether the Affordable Care Act is maintained or repealed, most midsize businesses will need

• The strength of PEO business illustrates some of the strengths ADP possesses in cross-selling enabled by the company’s large existing client base

INVESTMENT NEGATIVES

• The industry is largely saturated for large company employer solutions. There is a lot of competition from established players which have long relationships and agreements with the clients. • New start-us and emerging participants provide low priced and customized services to small and mid-sized companies.

• There is a lot of uncertainty around the Affordable Care Act and Department of Labor's Overtime Rule could continue to decrease demand, as clients wait to gain further clarity what will be the effects on their business.

• ADP is highly impacted by changes in laws and regulations applicable to the businesses such as the data privacy laws. Company incurs huge costs to implement changes. Failure to comply could adversely affect financial condition and reputation.

• ADP is highly dependent on technological advancements and must invest huge money in systems development. Failure to adapt to new technology and services to meet client needs can diminish the sales and impact the business.

VALUATION

ADP follows a 52-week fiscal year ending in June. DCF-EP, DDM, and relative P/E analysis have been used to value ADP. The three approaches presented a price of $119, $100 and $105 respectively. We believe that the intrinsic value of ADP’s stock is closest to the DCF-EP model as the DCF model accounts for the residual income available to all equity holders.

Source: HF estimates

We believe the stock value is most closely captured by the DCF valuation as it most closely captures the revenue decomposition and growth forecasts of the different lines of business. Hence, we have given a BUY rating to the stock. The stock currently trades for around $102 and thus we estimate a high upside of 16% We also used relative P/E valuation technique which presented a price of $100. We compared ADP to different Human Capital Management companies such as Insperity Inc., PayChex, TriNet, Intuit and a few others. We understand that the closest comparison to ADP is Paychex, Insperity and Trinet as all compete to provide HR solutions to the clients. But there are differences in the business models and size of the clients. Due to different revenue segments and earnings composition, it is difficult to make a head to head comparison of these peer companies.

Also, relative P/E valuation method assumes that market values peer stocks accurately. But these technology companies tend to have higher P/E multiples. This is because in the case of tech companies, the assumption is a growing stream of future income which increases the present value (share price) even though the present earnings are low.

Source:

In FY 2016, ADP declared and paid $2.1 as dividend. We have assumed the 2016 payout ratio to continue in the foreseeable future and have assumed a payout ratio of 62%. No importance has been attached to the stock price derived from the DDM model due to the theoretical limitations of the DDM model not accounting for the

complete residual income attributable to the equity holders of a firm. The shortcomings of Relative P/E valuation method and DDM, leads us to believe that DCF valuation captures the stock value most accurately.

Short-Term Revenue Growth Assumptions

Revenue from employer services is the biggest source of income for ADP as it has earned 70% of total revenue in 2016. This revenue is expected to grow in next 5 years as the pays per control continues to increase. As per the guidance provided by ADP, we have assumed that the revenue from employer services will grow by 3.7% for next five years, PEO revenue will grow by almost 13% for next 5 years and interest on funds held for clients will increase by 1% assuming the increase in FED rates.

All these segments ensure sustainable revenue growth for ADP but we also need to consider the increased growth in other costs which grow in proportion with revenue such as cost of revenue - 59%, selling, general and admin - 23% of sales. Other expenses like depreciation are expected to be CAGR rate of 20% of beginning assets. Amortization expense is taken as per the schedule provided in the 10-K.

Gross profit / Operating profit margins

Historical data shows that Gross profit margin for ADP has been between 40 to 41% and net operating margin between 12 to 13%. By 2021, we expect a gross margin to be 42% and net margin to be 14% which we include in our valuation model.

Capital Expenditure

Based on historical average of amount spent on Property, Plant and equipment, we expect gross tangible assets to grow at CAGR rate of 5% every year. In case of intangibles, the historic growth has been due to development of technology and patents in the past. We assume that ADP makes no big acquisition in next five years and hence, intangibles grow at a low rate of CAGR 5.6% for patents relating to new technological developments.

Debt

ADP’s 10-K mentions that it will repay 1 billion debt in next 5 years. We assume that ADP will re-finance itself by taking 1 billion loan in future.

Share Repurchase

ADP has announced a plan to repurchase $1.2 billion to $1.4 billion of share every year which we expect to happen consistently a period of 5 years. This has also been observed historically. This change is leading to change in the free cash flows and increase in EPS for 5 forecasted periods.

Other assumptions

Continuing value growth of EPS is assumed to be in line with estimated GDP growth i.e. estimated 3%. (21)

Risk-free rate is taken as 3,08%, which is the 30-yr. treasury yield rate. Ultimately, we believe that the Equity Risk Premium is 4.8% which adequately captures the risk associated with the market over and above the risk-free rate.

Valuation Summary

The DCF model presents a stock price of $125, with a 4.8% equity risk premium. The various sensitivity analyses performed have been conducted that reveal the target price for ADP share to be between $120 - $130. The model presents 16% upside potential over current market price which is driving the BUY recommendation for the stock.

KEYS TO MONITOR

One of the most important keys to monitor is the competitive landscape of ADP. As the industry requires very less capital to enter the market, we must be vigilant for new entrants in the market. As technology advances, more small business owners may opt for a do-it-yourself SaaS solution.

Looking at the current situation, for the model, we did not increase the growth rate of competition and it has been already built in top line revenue growth due to the increased competition. But any greater than anticipated decline in revenues will be a red flag.

The performance and growth of the company is highly correlated to the unemployment rate in USA. As unemployment rates start increasing, So it is extremely important to track the unemployment rate and decreasing employment rate would raise an alarm.
