CDK Global, Inc.
Segment Adjusted Financial Data
(In millions)
(Unaudited)
As described below under the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section of this press release, effective July 1, 2018, we began incorporating additional adjustments within our calculations of adjusted earnings before income taxes, where management has deemed it appropriate to better reflect our underlying operations. In the first quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company revised segment reporting to reclassify the assets and liabilities and operating results of the April 2018 acquisition of Progressus Media LLC to the Retail Solutions North America ("RSNA") segment. The results were previously reported in the Advertising North America ("ANA") segment. GAAP and Adjusted segment information for the three and nine months ended, March 31, 2019 has been restated to conform to the new presentations.
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 restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for the period presented.

CDK Global, Inc.
Performance Metrics
(Unaudited)
CDK management regularly reviews the following key performance measures to evaluate business results and make operating and strategic decisions. These measures are intended to provide directional information regarding trends in our recurring subscription revenues. The following table summarizes these measures for recurring subscription revenues in our segments.
Average revenue per site is on an ASC 605 basis for all periods presented in the table 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, including revenue generated from websites, 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 | Earnings before income taxes |
| Adjusted provision for income taxes | Provision for income taxes |
| Adjusted net earnings attributable to CDK | Net earnings attributable to CDK |
| Adjusted diluted earnings attributable to CDK per share | Diluted earnings attributable to CDK per share |
| Adjusted EBITDA | Net earnings attributable to CDK |
| Adjusted EBITDA margin | Net earnings attributable to CDK margin |
| Constant currency revenues | Revenues |
| Constant currency adjusted earnings before income taxes | Earnings before income taxes |
| Free cash flow | 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 fuller understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business than could be obtained absent these disclosures.
Fiscal 2019 Modifications
Effective July 1, 2018, we began including amortization of acquired intangible assets within our calculations 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. Effective October 1, 2018, we began including impairment of intangible assets within our calculations of adjusted earnings before income taxes, adjusted net earnings attributable to CDK, adjusted diluted net earnings attributable to CDK per share, and adjusted EBITDA. These non-cash expenses 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.
Adjusted Earnings before Income Taxes
Management has excluded the following items from adjusted earnings before income taxes for the periods presented:
- Impairment of intangible assets consists of the write-off of certain intangible assets within the RSNA segment and is reported within cost of revenues.
- Restructuring expenses recognized in connection with our business transformation plan.
- Other business transformation expenses incurred in connection with our business transformation plan and included within cost of revenues and selling, general and administrative expenses.
- Total stock-based compensation expense included within cost of revenues and selling, general and administrative expenses.
- Amortization of acquired intangible assets consists of amortization of intangible assets such as customer lists, purchased software, and trademarks acquired in connection with business combinations.
- 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 selling, general and administrative expenses.

- Legal and other expenses related to regulatory and competition matters included within selling, general and administrative expenses.
- Net loss/(gain) recorded within other income, net associated with an indemnification receivable from ADP for pre spin-off tax periods in accordance with tax matters agreement.
Adjusted Provision for Income taxes
Management has excluded the following items from adjusted provision for income taxes for the periods presented:
- Income tax effect of pre-tax adjustments described above.
- Excess tax (expense)/benefit derived from stock-option exercises and vesting of restricted stock in order to align the adjustments for this measure with our adjustments for total stock-based compensation in other measures.
- Net income tax benefit associated with a tax refund, offset by a pretax loss to establish a liability to ADP for the tax refund in accordance with the tax-matters agreement.
- As a result of the Tax Reform Act, a $0.6 million benefit due to a true-up to the one-time transition tax initially recorded in fiscal 2018 for the three months ended March 31, 2019; a $3.4 million deferred tax charge associated with executive compensation limitations partially offset by $0.6 million benefit due to a true-up to the one-time transition tax mentioned above during the nine months ended March 31, 2019; a $0.8 million benefit from the measurement period adjustment to re-measure the net deferred tax liability during the three months ended March 31, 2018; and a $14.9 million estimated benefit comprised of $23.4 million for the re-measurement of the net deferred tax liability partially offset by one-time expense of $8.5 million associated with undistributed earnings which included $3.7 million for the one-time transition tax during the nine months ended March 31, 2018.
Adjusted Net Earnings Attributable to CDK and Adjusted Diluted Net Earnings Attributable to CDK per Share
For each respective presentation, management has excluded 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.
There was no impact for expenses related to noncontrolling interest during the three months ended March 31, 2019. The portion of expense related to noncontrolling interest of $0.1 million, $0.2 million and $0.1 million from restructuring expenses, amortization of acquired intangible assets and legal and other expenses related to regulatory and competition matters, respectively, during the nine months ended March 31, 2019. The portion of expense related to noncontrolling interest of $0.1 million, $0.1 million, $0.1 million and $0.1 million has been removed from restructuring expenses, amortization of acquired intangible assets, other business transformation expenses and stock-based compensation expenses, respectively, during the three months ended March 31, 2018; and $0.3 million, $0.2 million, $0.2 million and $0.1 million from restructuring expenses, amortization of acquired intangible assets, other business transformation expenses and stock-based compensation expenses, respectively, during the nine months ended March 31, 2018.
Adjusted EBITDA
Management has excluded the following items from net earnings attributable to CDK in order to calculate adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented:
- Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interest included within the financial statements.
- Provision for income taxes included within the financial statements.
- Interest expense included within the financial statements.
- Depreciation and amortization included within the financial statements.
- Impairment of intangible assets consists of the write-off of certain intangible assets within the RSNA segment and is reported within cost of revenues.
- Restructuring expenses recognized in connection with our business transformation plan.
- Other business transformation expenses incurred in connection with our business transformation plan and included within cost of revenues and selling, general and administrative expenses. Other business transformation expenses excluded accelerated depreciation expense of $0.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2018.
- Total stock-based compensation expense included within cost of revenues and selling, general and administrative expenses.
- 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 selling, general and administrative expenses.
- Officer transition expense includes severance expense in connection with officer departures reported within selling, general and administrative expenses.
- Legal and other expenses related to regulatory and competition matters included within selling, general and administrative expenses.
- Net loss/(gain) recorded within other income, net associated with an indemnification receivable from ADP for pre spin-off tax periods in accordance with tax matters agreement.
Free Cash Flow
We also review free cash flow as a measure of our ability to generate additional cash from our business operations. Free cash flow is defined as cash flow from operating activities less amounts paid for capital expenditures and capitalized software and change in restricted cash. Free cash flow 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 $33.2 million and $33.1 million as of March 31, 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.
