May 7 (Reuters) - Human resources software provider
Dayforce ( DAY ) on Wednesday forecast second-quarter revenue
below market estimates.
Shares of the Minneapolis, Minnesota-based company fell 10%
following the results.
Dayforce ( DAY ) expects its total second-quarter revenue to be
between $454 million and $460 million, below analysts' average
estimate of $465.5 million, according to data compiled by LSEG.
It forecast full-year revenue between $1.93 billion and
$1.94 billion, in line with estimates of $1.93 billion.
The projections come in contrast with those of larger rival
ADP, which raised its annual revenue forecast last week
on the back of resilient enterprise demand and recent
acquisitions.
Dayforce ( DAY ), formerly known as Ceridian, provides cloud-based
payroll, workforce and human capital management software to
enterprise clients globally.
The company in February announced a workforce reduction of
about 5%, aiming to streamline its operations and achieve annual
cost savings of about $65 million.
It posted total revenue of $481.8 million for the quarter
ended March 31, compared with expectations of $476.7 million.
Excluding float, the total quarterly revenue was $426.5 million.
Float revenue refers to the earnings or interest a company
generates from holding cash or other liquid assets for a period
before using them for their intended purpose.
The company earned 58 cents per share on an adjusted basis
in the first quarter, compared with estimates of 55 cents per
share.
