HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill., Aug. 13, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CDK Global, Inc. (NASDAQ:CDK) today announced financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended June 30, 2019.

“We achieved very positive results, with record DMS sales in the quarter and improved retention in North America. I’m pleased with the favorable momentum we’re seeing in our business metrics and product innovations, especially with our Drive Flex solution and Fortellis Open API platform,” said Brian Krzanich, president and chief executive officer. “We are excited about the long-term growth opportunities ahead for us as we focus now solely on our world-class software business and providing great experiences for our customers.”

“Company revenues were up, driven by the addition of our ELEAD business and gains from revenue per site growth in both North America and International,” according to Joseph Tautges, executive vice president and chief financial officer. “Auto sites in North America were at their highest levels since December 2017, and sites across all segments showed sequential progress in the quarter.”

Effective July 1, 2018 we adopted ASU 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” and related ASUs (“ASC 606”), using the modified retrospective transition approach. We did not recast historical information and have reported financial results in fiscal 2019 under both standards for the transition year for comparability purposes. Comparisons of results provided in this press release reflect year-over-year comparisons on an ASC 605 basis. The non-GAAP (adjusted) results and guidance presented in this press release represent non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations of these measures to the appropriate GAAP measures are provided in the tables at the end of this press release.

Impacts to the Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2019:

• Digital Marketing Business: On June 27, 2019, we committed to a plan to divest: (a) all of the assets of our Advertising North America business segment; and (b) certain assets of our North America segment related to mobile advertising solutions and website services (collectively, the “Digital Marketing Business”). The Digital Marketing Business is presented as discontinued operations and prior year amounts have been reclassified. Reporting segments have been changed to CDK North America and CDK International.
   
• Foreign exchange rates: Growth in revenues was negatively impacted by 1 percentage point by foreign exchange rates, for both the quarter and full year, and growth in earnings before income taxes was negatively impacted by 1 percentage point for the quarter and 2 percentage points for the full year by foreign exchange rates.
   
• Tax rate: The GAAP effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 was 116.6% under ASC 606 and 122.7% under ASC 605, compared to 24.4% in last year’s fourth quarter. The adjusted effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 was 19.2% under ASC 606 and 19.7% under ASC 605, compared to 28.1% in last year’s fourth quarter.

The Company's fiscal year 2020 guidance is provided below. The fiscal 2020 guidance is provided on both a GAAP and a non-GAAP (adjusted) basis, in accordance with ASC 606. 

	CDK Global, Inc. Guidance for Fiscal 2020 ($ million except per share)	FY 2020 GUIDANCE
		ASC 606
	Revenues	$2.00 billion - $2.05 billion
	Diluted net earnings attributable to CDK per share	$2.80 - $3.00
	Adjusted diluted net earnings attributable to CDK per share	$3.30 - $3.50

Long-Term Growth Outlook

We expect long-term revenue to grow at mid-single digit rates. Over the next two to three years, we expect adjusted EBITDA to grow at low-single digit rates, with a longer term view of growth accelerating to high-single to low-double digit rates.

For our long-term growth outlook of adjusted EBITDA, the information necessary to calculate such measure on a GAAP basis is unavailable or dependent on the timing of future events outside of our control. Therefore, because of the uncertainty and variability of the nature of the amount of future adjustments, which could be significant, no reconciliation is being provided at this time.

Consolidated Adjusted Financial Information
(In millions, except per share amounts)
(Unaudited)

As described below under the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section of this press release, we incorporated additional adjustments within our calculations of non-GAAP financial measures where management has deemed it appropriate to better reflect our underlying operations. These adjustments are inconsistent in amount and frequency and do not directly reflect our underlying operations. Therefore, management believes that excluding such information provides us with a better understanding of our ongoing operating performance across periods. Prior period information has been revised to conform to the new presentation.

Fiscal 2019 Modifications:

• Effective July 1, 2018, we modified our presentation of adjusted earnings before income taxes, adjusted provision for income taxes, adjusted net earnings attributable to CDK, and adjusted diluted net earnings attributable to CDK per share to include adjustments for amortization of acquired intangible assets.  Although we exclude amortization of acquired intangible assets from our non-GAAP measure, we believe that it is important for the users of the financial statements to understand that the associated intangible assets contribute to revenue generation.
• Effective October 1, 2018, we modified our presentation of adjusted earnings before income taxes, adjusted provision for income taxes, adjusted net earnings attributable to CDK, adjusted diluted earnings attributable to CDK per share, and adjusted EBITDA to include adjustments for impairment of intangible assets.
• During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, we modified our presentation of:
  1. adjusted earnings before income taxes, adjusted provision for income taxes, adjusted net earnings attributable to CDK, adjusted diluted net earnings attributable to CDK per share, and adjusted EBITDA to include adjustments for loss from equity method investment;
  2. adjusted provision for income taxes, adjusted net earnings attributable to CDK, adjusted diluted net earnings attributable to CDK per share to include adjustments for decrease in valuation allowance;
  3. adjusted net earnings attributable to CDK, adjusted diluted net earnings attributable to CDK per share, and adjusted EBITDA to include adjustments for loss (earnings) from discontinued operations, net of taxes; and
  4. free cash flow from continuing operations to include adjustments for net cash flows provided by operating activities - discontinued operations.

Effective July 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective approach. The tables below present fiscal 2019 consolidated adjusted financial information on both an ASC 606 and an ASC 605 basis. The comparative information has not been revised and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for the period presented.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company committed to a plan to divest all of the assets of its previously reported Advertising North America segment and certain assets of CDK North America segment related to mobile advertising and website services businesses (collectively, the "Digital Marketing Business"). The Digital Marketing Business is presented as discontinued operations and prior year amounts have been reclassified.

CDK Global, Inc.
Segment Adjusted Financial Data
(In millions)
(Unaudited)

As described below under the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section of this press release, we incorporated additional adjustments within our calculations of non-GAAP financial measures where management has deemed it appropriate to better reflect our underlying operations. These adjustments are inconsistent in amount and frequency and do not directly reflect our underlying operations. Therefore, management believes that excluding such information provides us with a better understanding of our ongoing operating performance across periods. Prior period information has been revised to conform to the new presentation.

Fiscal 2019 Modifications:

• Effective July 1, 2018, we modified our presentation of adjusted earnings before income taxes to include adjustments for amortization of acquired intangible assets. Although we exclude amortization of acquired intangible assets from our non-GAAP measure, we believe that it is important for the users of the financial statements to understand that the associated intangible assets contribute to revenue generation.
• Effective October 1, 2018, we modified our presentation of adjusted earnings before income taxes to include adjustments for impairment of intangible assets.
• During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, we modified our presentation of adjusted earnings before income taxes to include adjustments for loss from equity method investment.

Effective July 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective approach. The tables below present fiscal 2019 segment financial data on both an ASC 606 and an ASC 605 basis. The comparative information has not been revised and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for the period presented.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company committed to a plan to divest all of the assets of its previously reported Advertising North America segment and certain assets of CDK North America segment related to mobile advertising and website services businesses (collectively, the "Digital Marketing Business"). The Digital Marketing Business is presented as  discontinued operations for all periods presented and is excluded from the amounts in tables below.

(a) Average revenue per Dealer Management System (DMS) customer site has been updated for fiscal 2018 to reflect budgeted foreign exchange rates for fiscal 2019.

(b) DMS Customer Sites - We track the number of retail customer sites with an active DMS that sell vehicles in the automotive and adjacent markets as an indicator of our opportunity set for generating subscription revenue. We consider a DMS to be active if we have billed a subscription fee for that solution during each applicable month presented in the table. Adjacent markets include heavy truck dealerships that provide vehicles to the over-the-road trucking industry, recreation dealerships in the motorcycle, marine, and recreational vehicle industries, and heavy equipment dealerships in the agriculture and construction equipment industries.

(c) Average Revenue Per DMS Customer Site - Average revenue per DMS customer site is an indicator of the scope of adoption of our solutions by DMS customers, and we monitor changes in this metric to measure the effectiveness of our strategy to deepen our relationships with our current customer base through upgrading and expanding solutions. We calculate average revenue per DMS customer site by dividing revenue generated from our solutions, in an applicable quarterly period by the average number of DMS customer sites in the same period. The metric excludes subscription revenue generated by customers not included in our DMS customer site count as well as subscription revenue related to certain installation and training activities that is deferred then recognized as revenue over the life of the contract.  Revenue underlying this metric is based on budgeted foreign exchange rates. When we discuss growth in average revenue per DMS customer site, revenue for the comparable prior period has been adjusted to reflect budgeted foreign exchange rates for the current period.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We disclose certain financial measures for our consolidated and operating segment results on both a GAAP and a non-GAAP (adjusted) basis. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative to, results prepared in accordance with GAAP.  Our use of each of the following non-GAAP financial measures may differ from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies, and other companies may not define these non-GAAP financial measures, or reconcile them to the comparable GAAP financial measures, in the same way.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure	Comparable GAAP Financial Measure
Adjusted earnings before income taxes	(Loss) Earnings before income taxes
Adjusted provision for income taxes	Provision for income taxes
Adjusted net earnings attributable to CDK	Net (loss) earnings attributable to CDK
Adjusted diluted earnings attributable to CDK per share	Diluted (loss) earnings attributable to CDK per share
Adjusted EBITDA	Net (loss) earnings attributable to CDK
Adjusted EBITDA margin	Net (loss) earnings attributable to CDK margin
Constant currency revenues	Revenues
Constant currency adjusted earnings before income taxes	(Loss) Earnings before income taxes
Free cash flow from continuing operations	Net cash flows provided by operating activities

We use adjusted earnings before income taxes, adjusted provision for income taxes, adjusted net earnings attributable to CDK, adjusted diluted earnings attributable to CDK per share, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin internally to evaluate our performance on a consistent basis, because those measures adjust for the impact of certain items that we believe do not directly reflect our underlying operations. By adjusting for these items we believe we have more precise inputs for use as factors in (i) our budgeting process, (ii) making financial and operational decisions, (iii) evaluating ongoing segment and overall operating performance on a consistent period-to-period basis and relative to our competitors, (iv) target leverage calculations, (v) debt covenant calculations, and (vi) determining incentive-based compensation.

We believe our non-GAAP financial measures are helpful to users of the financial statements because they (i) provide investors with meaningful supplemental information regarding financial performance by excluding certain items, (ii) permit investors to view performance using the same tools that management uses, and (iii) otherwise provide supplemental information that may be useful to investors in evaluating our ongoing operating results on a consistent basis. We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered in addition to the corresponding GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations to those measures disclosed below, provides investors with a better understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business than could be obtained absent these disclosures.

We incorporated additional adjustments within our calculations of non-GAAP financial measures where management has deemed it appropriate to better reflect our underlying operations. These adjustments are inconsistent in amount and frequency and do not directly reflect our underlying operations. Therefore, management believes that excluding such information provides us with a better understanding of our ongoing operating performance across periods. Prior period information has been revised to conform to the new presentation.

Fiscal 2019 Modifications:

• Effective July 1, 2018, we modified our presentation of adjusted earnings before income taxes, adjusted provision for income taxes, adjusted net earnings attributable to CDK, and adjusted diluted net earnings attributable to CDK per share to include adjustments for amortization of acquired intangible assets. Although we exclude amortization of acquired intangible assets from our non-GAAP measure, we believe that it is important for the users of the financial statements to understand that the associated intangible assets contribute to revenue generation.
   
• Effective October 1, 2018, we modified our presentation of adjusted earnings before income taxes, adjusted provision for income taxes, adjusted net earnings attributable to CDK, adjusted diluted earnings attributable to CDK per share, and adjusted EBITDA to include adjustments for impairment of intangible assets.

• During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, we modified our presentation of:
  1. adjusted earnings before income taxes, adjusted provision for income taxes, adjusted net earnings attributable to CDK, adjusted diluted net earnings attributable to CDK per share, and adjusted EBITDA to include adjustments for loss from equity method investment;
  2. adjusted provision for income taxes, adjusted net earnings attributable to CDK, adjusted diluted net earnings attributable to CDK per share to include adjustments for decrease in valuation allowance;
  3. adjusted net earnings attributable to CDK, adjusted diluted net earnings attributable to CDK per share, and adjusted EBITDA to include adjustments for loss (earnings) from discontinued operations, net of taxes; and
  4. free cash flow from continuing operations to include adjustments for net cash flows provided by operating activities - discontinued operations.

• Transaction and integration-related expenses include: (i) legal, accounting, outside service fees, and other costs incurred in connection with assessment and integration of acquisitions and other strategic business opportunities; and (ii) post-close adjustments to acquisition-related contingent consideration, reported within cost of revenues and selling, general and administrative expenses.

• As a result of the Tax Reform Act, a $3.4 million deferred tax charge associated with executive compensation limitations partially offset by a $0.6 million benefit due to a true-up to the one-time transition tax impacted fiscal 2019; an estimated one-time tax benefit of $26.2 million from the revaluation of the net deferred tax liability partially offset by an estimated one-time expense of $7.7 million associated with undistributed earnings impacted fiscal 2018.

Adjusted Net Earnings Attributable to CDK and Adjusted Diluted Net Earnings Attributable to CDK per Share

For each respective presentation, management has excluded loss (earnings) from discontinued operations, net of taxes associated with the Company's plan to divest Digital Marketing Business, in addition to the items described above for adjusted earnings before income taxes and adjusted provision for income taxes from adjusted net earnings attributable to CDK and adjusted diluted net earnings attributable to CDK per share.

Free Cash Flow from Continuing Operations

We also review free cash flow from continuing operations as a measure of our ability to generate additional cash from our business operations. Free cash flow from continuing operations is defined as cash flow from operating activities less net cash flows used in operating activities attributable to discontinued operations, amounts paid for capital expenditures and capitalized software and change in restricted cash. Free cash flow from continuing operations should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for consolidated net income as a measure of our performance and net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.

The change in restricted cash is funds held for clients before remittance to agencies for titling and registration services on behalf of those clients. We have added the change in restricted cash to the free cash flow definition due to the adoption of ASU 2016-18, Restricted Cash, in the first quarter of fiscal 2019.  Funds receivable was $32.3 million and $33.1 million as of June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively.

Constant Currency

We use constant currency revenues and constant currency adjusted earnings before income taxes to review revenues and adjusted earnings before income taxes for our consolidated and operating segment results on a constant currency basis to understand underlying business trends. To present these results on a constant currency basis, current period results for entities reporting in currencies other than the U.S. dollar were translated into U.S. dollar using the average monthly exchange rates for the comparable prior period. As a result, constant currency results neutralize the effects of foreign currency.
