Our common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market® under the symbol “ADP”.

We recognize the importance of human capital to our future success, and we are focused on hiring, developing and retaining highly qualified, motivated and diverse talent. Predicated on these priorities, our business strategy is based upon the following four strategic pillars, which are designed to position ADP as the global market leader in human capital management (HCM) services:

leverage our global presence to offer clients HCM, benefits, and payroll solutions where they do business; and

ADP provides employers with a wide range of payroll options ranging from manually calling in their payroll to our specialists, entering their payroll data online with an internet-based solution, or outsourcing their entire payroll process to ADP. ADP also enables its largest clients to interface their major enterprise resource planning (ERP) applications with ADP's outsourced payroll services. Employers can choose a variety of payroll payment options ranging from professionally printed checks to ADP's electronic Wage Payment and Pay Card Solutions. ADP also prepares and files federal, state and local payroll tax returns and quarterly and annual social security, Medicare, and federal, state and local income tax withholding reports on our clients' behalf. In addition, as part of our W-2 management services, ADP supplies year-end tax statements to our clients' employees.

ADP Retirement Services also offers trustee services through a third party.

Compliance and Payment Solutions

Employment Tax Services. As part of ADP's employment tax services, ADP prepares and files employment tax returns on our clients' behalf with federal, state, and local tax agencies. In connection with these services, ADP collects federal, state, and local employment taxes from clients and remits these taxes to the appropriate taxing agencies via an electronic interface with over 7,200 federal, state, and local tax agencies in the United States. ADP also responds to inquiries from tax agencies and files tax protests on the clients' behalf. In addition to our full service payroll tax solution, ADP offers a software solution for do-it-yourself employment tax management that can complement a client's in-house payroll system. In our fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 (“fiscal 2013”), ADP in the United States processed and delivered approximately 51 million employee year-end tax statements and over 41 million employer payroll tax returns and deposits, and moved approximately $1.4 trillion in client funds to taxing agencies and its clients' employees via electronic transfer, direct deposit, and ADPCheckTM.

Tax Credits Services. ADP Tax Credits Services helps clients take advantage of tax credit opportunities as they hire new employees, including federal, state, and local tax credits based on geography, demographics, and other criteria such as work opportunity tax credits, federal empowerment zone employment credits, economic development incentives, training grants, and many other incentives. Integrating the entire process with clients' existing hiring programs, ADP Tax Credits Services enables clients to screen employees and process eligibility forms, monitor and manage screening compliance and form compliance, submit forms to state agencies for tax credit certification, calculate credits, and produce a detailed audit trail.

Dealer Services

Dealer Management Systems (DMS) and Other Retail Solutions. Dealer Services' Dealer Management Systems offer comprehensive, integrated solutions that dealerships use to manage their core dealership business activities. DMS solutions are available as “on-site” applications installed at the dealership or as managed services solutions in which clients access ADP's DMS solutions through a cloud-based IT environment managed by ADP. The DMS accounting modules help clients manage all standard accounting procedures, including general ledger, receivables and balance sheet maintenance. The DMS service and parts modules enable automation of client operations such as service and repair order processing, purchase orders and parts ordering. The DMS sales and finance and insurance (F&I) modules facilitate clients' ability to manage customer inquiries, develop, analyze, present, and consummate transactions with customers, manage and print the forms needed to consummate such transactions, and track funds. Dealer Services also offers a full range of additional solutions that address every department and functional area of the dealership, including customer relationship management (CRM) applications, vehicle inventory and lot management solutions, and telephone systems. These additional solutions are typically fully integrated with the DMS.

Digital Marketing Solutions. Dealer Services provides digital marketing solutions under the Cobalt® brand, which ADP acquired in 2010. Cobalt digital marketing solutions and services include dealership websites, sales leads, email marketing, search and display advertising, and social media marketing and management services. These solutions are sold both as retail network marketing programs in conjunction with the manufacturers of ten leading automotive brands, as well as directly to auto dealerships and regional dealer associations.

Dealer Services' network solutions also include integrated IP telephony systems, wired and wireless network access solutions, and security management applications.

Training Services. Dealer Services offers comprehensive training and business process consulting services for many of its business solutions via multiple delivery methods. Task-specific internet-based courses are fully automated and available 24 hours a day. Dealer Services also provides interactive instructor-led training via internet-based sessions or live classroom courses that are customized to meet our clients' specific needs.
MARKETS AND MARKETING METHODS

Employer Services offers its products and services in the United States and abroad. Our GlobalView offering is available in 41 foreign countries and our Streamline offering is available in 91 foreign countries, 41 of which are countries in which we also offer our GlobalView services. In addition, Employer Services offers in-country payroll and human resources outsourcing solutions to both small and large clients in close to 30 countries. In Canada, we are a leading provider of payroll processing (including full departmental outsourcing) and human resource administration services. Within Europe, we have business operations supporting our in-country solutions in France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. We also offer payroll outsourcing services as well as HCM solutions in South America (in Brazil, Chile, Argentina, and Peru), China, India, and Australia. We offer wage and tax collection and remittance services in Canada, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and France. PEO Services offers services exclusively in the United States. In fiscal 2013, 80% of Employer Services' revenues were from the United States, 13% were from Europe, 5% were from Canada, and 2% were from South America, Australia, and Asia.

Dealer Services primarily serves automobile dealers, which in turn may be dependent on a relatively small number of auto manufacturers, but also serves truck, powersports (i.e., motorcycle, marine, and RV) and heavy equipment dealers, auto repair shops, used car lots, state departments of motor vehicles, vehicle manufacturers, and vehicle distributors. Dealer Services has offerings in more than 100 countries across North America, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and the Asia Pacific region.

We market our products and services primarily through our direct sales force. Employer Services also markets its solutions through indirect sales channels, such as marketing relationships with banks and accountants, among others. In addition, Dealer Services uses distributors to sell, implement and support its solutions in select emerging markets. None of ADP's major business groups has a single homogenous client base or market. While concentrations of clients exist in specific industries, no one client or industry group is material to ADP's overall revenues. ADP enjoys a leadership position in each of its major service offerings and does not believe any major service or major business unit of ADP is subject to unique market risk.

COMPETITION

The industries in which ADP operates are highly competitive. ADP knows of no reliable statistics by which it can determine the number of its competitors, but it believes that it is one of the largest providers of business outsourcing solutions in the world. Employer Services and PEO Services compete with other independent business outsourcing companies, companies providing enterprise resource planning services, software companies and financial institutions. Captive in-house functions, whereby a company installs and operates its own business processing systems, are another competitive factor in the industries in which Employer Services and PEO Services operate. Dealer Services' competitors include full service DMS providers, such as The Reynolds & Reynolds Company (Dealer Services' largest DMS competitor in the United States and Canada), DealerTrack, Inc., and companies providing applications and services that compete with Dealer Services' non-DMS applications and services, such as Auto Trader Group, Inc. and Dealer.com, Inc.

INDUSTRY REGULATION

Our business is subject to a wide range of complex laws and regulations. In addition, many of our products and services are designed to assist clients with their compliance with laws and regulations to which they are subject. We have developed and continue to enhance compliance programs and policies to monitor and address the legal and regulatory requirements applicable to our products, services, and operations, including dedicated compliance personnel and training programs.

As one of the world's largest providers of business outsourcing solutions, our systems contain a significant amount of both client data and data related to employees of our clients. We are, therefore, subject to compliance obligations under both federal and state privacy and data security-related laws, including, with respect to some of our businesses such as our COBRA, flexible spending account and insurance services businesses and ADP AdvancedMD®, the Health Insurance Portability and

8


Accountability Act of 1996. We are also subject to federal and state security breach notification laws with respect to client employee data.

As part of our payroll and payroll tax management services, we move client funds to taxing authorities and our clients' employees via electronic transfer, direct deposit, and ADPCheck. Certain elements of our U.S. money transmission activities, including our electronic payment and prepaid access (payroll pay card) offerings, are subject to certain licensing requirements. Elements of our money transmission activities outside of the United States are subject to similar laws and requirements in the countries in which we offer such services. In addition, our U.S. prepaid access (payroll card) offering is subject to the anti-money laundering and reporting provisions of the Bank Secrecy Act.  Our employee screening and selection services business offers background checking services that are subject to the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Our PEO business (ADP TotalSource) is subject to various state licensing requirements. In addition, because ADP TotalSource is a co-employer with respect to its clients' worksite employees, we may assume certain obligations and responsibilities of an employer under federal and state tax, insurance and employment laws.

In addition, many of our businesses offer products and services that assist our clients in complying with laws and regulations to which they are subject; although the laws apply to our clients and not to ADP, changes in such laws may affect our operations, products and services. For example, our COBRA administration services and flexible spending account services are designed to comply with relevant federal guidelines relating to, respectively, employers' benefits continuation obligations and the requirements of Section 125 of the Internal Revenue Code. Similarly, our tax credits services business, which helps clients take advantage of tax credit opportunities as they hire new employees, is based on federal, state, or local tax laws and regulations allowing for tax credits. We are also impacted by foreign data privacy laws, such as the European Union Privacy Directive, which regulate the processing of personal information.

The foregoing description does not include an exhaustive list of the laws and regulations governing and impacting our business. See the discussion contained in the "Risk Factors" section in Part I, Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for information regarding changes in laws and regulations that may decrease our revenues and earnings.

CLIENTS AND CLIENT CONTRACTS

ADP provides its services to approximately 620,000 clients. In fiscal 2013, no single client or group of affiliated clients accounted for revenues in excess of 2% of annual consolidated revenues.

ADP is continuously in the process of performing implementation services for new clients. Depending on the service agreement and/or the size of the client, the installation or conversion period for new clients could vary from a short period of time for a small Employer Services client with fewer than 50 employees (as little as 24 hours) to a longer period for a large Employer Services client with 1,000 or more employees or a Dealer Services client with multiple deliverables (generally six to twelve months), and in some cases may exceed two years for a large GlobalView client or other large, complicated implementation. Although we monitor sales that have not yet been billed or installed, we do not view this metric as material in light of the recurring nature of our business. This is not a reported number, but it is used by management as a planning tool relating to resources needed to install services, and a means of assessing our performance against the installation timing expectations of our clients.

Our business is typically characterized by long-term client relationships that result in recurring revenue. Our services are provided under written price quotations or service agreements having varying terms and conditions. No one price quotation or service agreement is material to ADP. ADP's client retention is estimated at approximately 12 years in Employer Services, approximately 6 years in PEO Services, and approximately 12 years in Dealer Services, and has not varied significantly from period to period.

SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT AND PROGRAMMING

During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2013, 2012, and 2011, ADP invested approximately $757 million, $699 million, and $667 million, respectively, from continuing operations, in systems development and programming, migration to new computing technologies and the development of new products and maintenance of our existing technologies, including purchases of new software and software licenses.


9


PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

ADP continually upgrades, enhances, and expands its existing solutions and services. Generally, no new solution or service has a significant effect on ADP's revenues or negatively impacts its existing solutions and services, and ADP's solutions and services have significant remaining life cycles.

LICENSES

ADP is the licensee under a number of agreements for computer programs and databases. ADP's business is not dependent upon a single license or group of licenses. Third-party licenses, patents, trademarks, and franchises are not material to ADP's business as a whole.

NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES

ADP employed approximately 60,000 persons as of June 30, 2013.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
Our businesses routinely encounter and address risks, some of which may cause our future results to be different than we currently anticipate. Risk factors described below represent our current view of some of the most important risks facing our businesses and are important to understanding our business. The following information should be read in conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk and the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. This discussion includes a number of forward-looking statements. You should refer to the description of the qualifications and limitations on forward-looking statements in the first paragraph under Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The level of importance of each of the following risks may vary from time to time, and any of these risks may have a material effect on our business.
Changes in laws and regulations may decrease our revenues and earnings
Our business is subject to a wide range of complex laws and regulations. Changes in laws or governmental regulations, or changes in the interpretation of existing laws or regulations by a regulatory authority, may decrease our revenues and earnings and may require us to change the manner in which we conduct some aspects of our business. For example, a change in regulations either decreasing the amount of taxes to be withheld or allowing less time to remit taxes to government authorities would adversely impact interest income from investing client funds before such funds are remitted to the applicable taxing authorities or client employees. Changes in taxation requirements in the United States or in other countries could adversely affect our effective tax rate and our net income. Changes in laws that govern the co-employment arrangement between a professional employer organization and its worksite employees may require us to change the manner in which we conduct some aspects of our PEO business. Health care reform under the Affordable Care Act, as amended, related state laws, and the regulations adopted or to be adopted thereunder, have the potential to impact substantially the way that employers provide health insurance to employees and the health insurance market for the small and mid-sized businesses that comprise ADP TotalSource's clients and prospects. We are unable to determine the ultimate impact that health care reform will have on our PEO business and our ability to attract and retain PEO clients. Amendments to money transmitter statutes have required us to receive licenses in some jurisdictions, and the adoption of new money transmitter statutes in other jurisdictions, as well as changes in the interpretation of existing statutes, in the future could require additional registration or licensing, as well as possible changes to the manner in which we conduct some aspects of our money movement business or our client funds investment strategy.
Cybersecurity and privacy breaches may hurt our business, damage our reputation, increase our costs, and cause losses
Our systems and networks store personal information about our clients and employees of our clients. In addition, our retirement services systems maintain investor account information for retirement plans. We have security systems and information technology infrastructure in place designed to protect against unauthorized access to such information. However, there is still a risk that the security systems and infrastructure that we maintain may not be successful in protecting against all security breaches and cyber attacks. Third parties, including vendors that provide services for our operations, could also be a source of security risk to us in the event of a failure of their own security systems and infrastructure. Any significant violations of data privacy could result in the loss of business, litigation, regulatory investigations, and penalties that could damage our reputation and adversely affect the growth of our business.
Our systems may be subject to disruptions that could adversely affect our business and reputation
Many of our businesses are highly dependent on our ability to process, on a daily basis, a large number of complicated transactions. We rely heavily on our payroll, financial, accounting, and other data processing systems. If any of these systems fails to operate properly or becomes disabled even for a brief period of time, we could suffer financial loss, a disruption of our businesses, liability to clients, regulatory intervention, or damage to our reputation. We have disaster recovery, business continuity, and crisis management plans and procedures designed to protect our businesses against a multitude of events including natural disasters, military or terrorist actions, power or communication failures, or similar events. Despite our preparations, our plans may not be successful in preventing the loss of client data, service interruptions, disruptions to our operations, or damage to our important facilities.
If we fail to adapt our technology to meet client needs and preferences, the demand for our services may diminish
Our businesses operate in industries that are subject to rapid technological advances and changing client needs and preferences. In order to remain competitive and responsive to client demands, we continually upgrade, enhance, and expand our existing solutions and services. If we fail to respond successfully to technology challenges, the demand for our services may diminish.

Political and economic factors may adversely affect our business and financial results
Trade, monetary and fiscal policies, and political and economic conditions may substantially change, and credit markets may experience periods of constriction and volatility. When there is a slowdown in the economy, employment levels and interest rates may decrease with a corresponding impact on our businesses. Clients may react to worsening conditions by reducing their spending on payroll and other outsourcing services or renegotiating their contracts with us. In addition, a reduction in availability of financing during such conditions, even to borrowers with the highest credit ratings, may limit our access to short-term debt markets to meet liquidity needs required by our Employer Services business.
We invest our client funds in liquid, investment-grade marketable securities, money market securities, and other cash equivalents. Nevertheless, our client fund assets are subject to general market, interest rate, credit, and liquidity risks. These risks may be exacerbated, individually or in unison, during periods of unusual financial market volatility.
We are dependent upon various large banks to execute Automated Clearing House and wire transfers as part of our client payroll and tax services. While we have contingency plans in place for bank failures, a systemic shutdown of the banking industry would impede our ability to process funds on behalf of our payroll and tax services clients and could have an adverse impact on our financial results and liquidity.
We derive a significant portion of our revenues and operating income outside of the United States and, as a result, we are exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates that could impact our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Change in our credit ratings could adversely impact our operations and lower our profitability
The major credit rating agencies periodically evaluate our creditworthiness and have consistently given us their highest long-term debt and commercial paper ratings. Failure to maintain high credit ratings on long-term and short-term debt could increase our cost of borrowing, reduce our ability to obtain intra-day borrowing required by our Employer Services business, and ultimately reduce our client interest revenue.
We may be unable to attract and retain qualified personnel
Our ability to grow and provide our clients with competitive services is partially dependent on our ability to attract and retain highly motivated people with the skills to serve our clients. Competition for skilled employees in the outsourcing and other markets in which we operate is intense and, if we are unable to attract and retain highly skilled and motivated personnel, results of our operations may suffer.

Note 1. Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The following table reconciles results within our Selected Financial Data to adjusted results that exclude a goodwill impairment charge related to our ADP AdvancedMD business for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 ("fiscal 2013"), a gain on the sale of assets related to rights and obligations to resell a third-party expense management platform for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 ("fiscal 2012"), and certain favorable tax items for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. We use certain adjusted results, among other measures, to evaluate our operating performance in the absence of certain items and for planning and forecasting of future periods. We believe that the adjusted results provide relevant and useful information for investors because it allows investors to view performance in a manner similar to the method used by us and improves our ability to understand our operating performance. Since adjusted earnings from continuing operations before income taxes, adjusted net earnings from continuing operations, and adjusted diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) from continuing operations are not measures of performance calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), they should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, earnings from continuing operations before income taxes, net earnings from continuing operations, and diluted EPS from continuing operations, and they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report and other written or oral statements made from time to time by Automatic Data Processing, Inc. (“ADP”) may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements that are not historical in nature, and which may be identified by the use of words like “expects,” “assumes,” “projects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “we believe,” “could” and other words of similar meaning, are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on management's expectations and assumptions and are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements include: ADP's success in obtaining, retaining and selling additional services to clients; the pricing of services and products; changes in laws regulating payroll taxes, professional employer organizations and employee benefits; overall market and economic conditions, including interest rate and foreign currency trends; competitive conditions; auto sales and related industry changes; employment and wage levels; changes in technology; availability of skilled technical associates; and the impact of new acquisitions and divestitures. ADP disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. These risks and uncertainties, along with the risk factors discussed under "Item 1A.  Risk Factors," should be considered in evaluating any forward-looking statements contained herein.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

ADP's mission is to power organizations with insightful solutions that drive business success. We seek to embrace new technology and innovation to deliver market leading products and services that meet the needs of our clients across all of our markets. Our commitment to service excellence lies at the core of our relationship with each of our clients, whether a small, mid-sized or large business, or a multinational enterprise. Our business strategy is based on four strategic pillars, which are predicated on our ability to drive innovation and service excellence, and attract, build, and retain the right talent to position ADP as the global market leader in human capital management (HCM) services. Our strategic pillars are to:

16



grow our integrated suite of cloud-based HCM, benefits, and payroll solutions to serve the U.S. market;
invest to grow and scale our HR Business Process Outsourcing solutions by leveraging our platforms and processes;
leverage our global presence to offer clients HCM, benefits, and payroll solutions where they do business; and
grow and deepen our solutions offering to ensure our key adjacencies are market leaders.
Our results during fiscal 2013 continue to reflect the strength of our underlying business model, including the diversity of our client base and products, against the uneven global economic recovery. Our focus on product innovation and improvements in salesforce productivity led to growth in new business bookings. We are pleased with the performance of our business segments, which have continued to drive good revenue growth and strong pretax margin expansion. We continue to benefit from solid revenue retention across our business segments and we remain pleased with the strength of our pays per control metric, which represents the number of employees on our clients' payrolls as measured on a same-store-sales basis utilizing a representative subset of payrolls ranging from small to large businesses that are reflective of a broad range of U.S. geographic regions. Despite the negative impact to our margins from strategic acquisitions completed in fiscal 2012, we remain pleased with their positive contribution to our revenue growth. We continue to be impacted by the decline in high-margin client interest revenues as a result of lower interest rates, partially offset by an increase in our average client funds balance. Though we believe that the impact to fiscal 2013 client funds revenue will be the bottom in terms of the year-over-year decline, we expect the lower interest rate environment to continue to impact us negatively during the year ending June 30, 2014 (“fiscal 2014”).
Consolidated revenues in fiscal 2013 increased 7%, to $11,310.1 million, as compared to fiscal 2012. Earnings from continuing operations before income taxes decreased 1%, to $2,084.3 million, as compared to fiscal 2012 and net earnings from continuing operations decreased 1%, to $1,364.1 million, as compared to fiscal 2012. Our diluted earnings per share from continuing operations was flat in fiscal 2013 as compared to $2.80 per share in fiscal 2012 on fewer shares outstanding.
Our fiscal 2013 results include a $42.7 million non tax-deductible goodwill impairment charge related to our ADP AdvancedMD business. Our fiscal 2012 results include a gain on the sale of assets of $66.0 million, or $41.2 million after tax, related to rights and obligations to resell a third-party expense management platform. Excluding these items from both years, our adjusted earnings from continuing operations before income taxes increased 4%, to $2,127.0 million, as compared to $2,041.9 million for fiscal 2012, and adjusted net earnings from continuing operations increased 5%, to $1,406.8 million, compared to $1,338.5 million for fiscal 2012. Our adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations increased 6%, to $2.89 for fiscal 2013 from $2.72, as adjusted, for fiscal 2012, on increased adjusted net earnings from continuing operations and fewer shares outstanding.
Our business segment results were solid with Employer Services' revenues increasing 7% to $7,914.0 million and earnings from continuing operations before income taxes increasing 9% to $2,134.2 million, PEO Services' revenues increasing 11% to $1,973.2 million and earnings from continuing operations before income taxes increasing 17% to $199.2 million, and Dealer Services' revenues increasing 9% to $1,813.7 million and earnings from continuing operations before income taxes increasing 21% to $335.7 million in fiscal 2013. Employer Services' and PEO Services' new business bookings, which represent annualized recurring revenues anticipated from sales orders to new and existing clients, grew 11% worldwide, to over $1.35 billion in fiscal 2013. Dealer Services' new business bookings showed strength as we continued to experience the effects of a stronger automotive industry and increased penetration of applications within our base. Our key business metrics continue to reflect the core strength of our business model, with our Employer Services' worldwide client revenue retention rate increasing to a record 91.3% and our pays per control metric increasing 2.8% for the twelve months ended June 30, 2013.
Interest on funds held for clients decreased approximately 15%, or $72.4 million, to $420.9 million from $493.3 million in fiscal 2012. The decrease in the consolidated interest on funds held for clients resulted from the decrease in the average interest rate earned to 2.2% in fiscal 2013, as compared to 2.8% in fiscal 2012, partially offset by growth in average client funds balance of 7% resulting from the continued strength and growth of our Employer Services segment.

We invest our funds held for clients in accordance with ADP's prudent and conservative investment guidelines, where the safety of principal, liquidity, and diversification are the foremost objectives of our investment strategy. The portfolio is predominantly invested in AAA/AA rated fixed-income securities. Our client funds investment strategy is structured to allow us to average our way through an interest rate cycle by laddering the maturities of our investments out to five years (in the case of the extended portfolio) and out to ten years (in the case of the long portfolio).  This investment strategy is supported by our short-term financing arrangements necessary to satisfy short-term funding requirements relating to client funds obligations.
  
Our financial condition and balance sheet remain solid at June 30, 2013, with cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities of $2,041.1 million. The cash and marketable securities balance included $0.7 million of cash and $245.2 million of long-term marketable securities pledged as collateral to the outstanding reverse repurchase obligations as of June 30,

17



2013, which were repaid on July 2, 2013. This borrowing was a normal part of our client funds extended investment strategy. Our net cash flows provided by operating activities were $1,577.2 million in fiscal 2013, as compared to $1,910.2 million in fiscal 2012. This decrease in cash flows provided by operating activities from fiscal 2012 to fiscal 2013 was due to the fiscal 2013 payment of a reinsurance arrangement with ACE American Insurance Company, higher pension plan contributions, a variance in the timing of tax-related net cash payments, and unfavorable changes in timing differences on the remaining net components of working capital, partially offset by higher net earnings. The increase in cash used in investing activities of $4,822.0 million is due to the timing of receipts and disbursements of restricted cash and cash equivalents held to satisfy client funds obligations, partially offset by the amount of cash used for business acquisitions and proceeds from the sale of businesses included in discontinued operations. The increase in cash provided by financing activities of $5,104.9 million is primarily due to the timing of cash received and payments made related to client funds as compared to the prior year.

We have a strong business model with a high percentage of recurring revenues, excellent margins, the ability to generate consistent, healthy cash flows, strong client retention, and low capital expenditure requirements. We continue to enhance value to our shareholders, and in fiscal 2013 returned excess cash of $805.5 million through dividends and $647.3 million through our share buyback program. In the last five fiscal years, we have reduced the Company's common stock outstanding by approximately 5% through share buybacks, net of the effect of common stock issued under employee stock-based compensation programs. We have also raised the dividend payout per share for 38 consecutive years.

Fiscal 2013 Compared to Fiscal 2012

Total Revenues

Total revenues increased $694.1 million, or 7%, to $11,310.1 million in fiscal 2013, as compared to fiscal 2012, due to an increase in revenues in Employer Services of 7%, or $525.5 million, to $7,914.0 million, an increase in revenues in PEO Services of 11%, or $201.8 million, to $1,973.2 million, and an increase in revenues in Dealer Services of 9%, or $152.4 million, to $1,813.7 million.  Total revenues would have increased approximately 6% without the impact of recently completed acquisitions and the impact to revenues pertaining to the sale in fiscal 2012 of assets related to rights and obligations to resell a third-party expense management platform.  In addition, revenues decreased $61.3 million due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Total revenues in fiscal 2013 include interest on funds held for clients of $420.9 million, as compared to $493.3 million in fiscal 2012.  The decrease in the consolidated interest earned on funds held for clients resulted from the decrease in

19



the average interest rate earned to 2.2% in fiscal 2013, as compared to 2.8% in fiscal 2012, partially offset by an increase in our average client funds balance of 7%, to $19.2 billion, in fiscal 2013.

Total Expenses

Our total expenses increased $643.1 million, or 7%, to $9,322.0 million in fiscal 2013, as compared to fiscal 2012.  The increase in our total expenses was due to an increase in operating expenses of $377.2 million, an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses of $163.7 million, an increase in systems development and programming costs of $61.6 million, and the goodwill impairment charge of $42.7 million. Total expenses would have increased approximately 7% without the impact of the goodwill impairment charge and 6% without the impact of recently completed acquisitions.

Our total costs of revenues increased $435.3 million, or 7%, to $6,649.6 million in fiscal 2013, as compared to fiscal 2012, due to an increase in operating expenses of $377.2 million and an increase in systems development and programming costs of $61.6 million.

Operating expenses increased $377.2 million, or 7% in fiscal 2013, as compared to fiscal 2012, due to the increase in revenues described above, including the increases in PEO Services, which has pass-through costs that are re-billable and which includes costs for benefits coverage, workers’ compensation coverage and state unemployment taxes for worksite employees.  These pass-through costs were $1,513.5 million for fiscal 2013, which included costs for benefits coverage of $1,193.2 million and costs for workers’ compensation and payment of state unemployment taxes of $320.3 million.  These pass-through costs were $1,363.6 million for fiscal 2012, which included costs for benefits coverage of $1,060.3 million and costs for workers’ compensation and payment of state unemployment taxes of $303.3 million.  The increase in operating expenses is also due to expenses related to businesses acquired of $84.4 million and higher labor-related expenses in Employer Services of $69.4 million, partially offset by a decrease of $34.0 million due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Systems development and programming costs increased $61.6 million, or 10%, in fiscal 2013, as compared to fiscal 2012, due to increased costs to develop, support, and maintain our products and increased costs related to businesses acquired of $6.6 million, partially offset by a decrease of $6.7 million due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $163.7 million, or 7%, in fiscal 2013, as compared to fiscal 2012.  The increase in expenses was related to an increase in selling expenses of $72.9 million resulting from investments in our salesforce and an increase in expenses of businesses acquired of $16.3 million, partially offset by a decrease of $24.6 million due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Additionally, selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased $24.1 million due to lower severance expenses in fiscal 2013, as compared to fiscal 2012.

Other income, net, decreased $74.6 million in fiscal 2013, as compared to fiscal 2012.  The decrease was due to a $66.0 million gain on the sale of assets related to rights and obligations to resell a third-party expense management platform in fiscal 2012 and a decrease in interest income on corporate funds of $20.7 million in fiscal 2013, as compared to fiscal 2012.  The decrease in interest income on corporate funds resulted from lower average interest rates from 2.1% in fiscal 2012 to 1.5% in fiscal 2013, partially offset by increasing average daily corporate funds, which increased from $4.0 billion in fiscal 2012 to $4.2 billion in fiscal 2013. Such decreases were partially offset by gains of $2.2 million pertaining to the sale of two

20



buildings in fiscal 2013, a $5.8 million impairment loss on available-for-sale securities in fiscal 2012, and an impairment loss of $2.2 million related to assets previously classified as assets held for sale in fiscal 2012.
 
Earnings from Continuing Operations before Income Taxes

Earnings from continuing operations before income taxes decreased $23.6 million, or 1%, to $2,084.3 million in fiscal 2013, which includes the effect of the $42.7 million goodwill impairment charge, compared to $2,107.9 million in fiscal 2012, which includes the effect of a $66.0 million gain on the sale of assets related to the rights and obligations to resell a third-party expense management platform. Overall margin decreased approximately 140 basis points in fiscal 2013 with approximately 40 basis points of margin decrease attributable to the goodwill impairment charge, 20 basis points of margin decrease attributable to acquisitions completed in fiscal 2012, and 90 basis points related to the continued decline in interest on funds held for clients discussed above. In addition, overall margin decreased approximately 60 basis points due to the fiscal 2012 gain on the sale of assets related to the rights and obligations to resell a third-party management platform. These decreases were partially offset by margin improvements in our business segments.

Adjusted earnings from continuing operations before income taxes increased $85.1 million, or 4%, to $2,127.0 million, in fiscal 2013, compared to $2,041.9 million for fiscal 2012, due to increased revenue and margin improvement in our business segments, partially offset by the continued decline in interest on funds held for clients.

Provision for Income Taxes

The effective tax rate in fiscal 2013 and 2012 was 34.6% and 34.5%, respectively.  Our effective tax rate for fiscal 2013 includes the effect of a non tax-deductible goodwill impairment charge of $42.7 million that increased our effective tax rate by 0.7 percentage points in the period.  The 0.7 percentage point increase was offset by a reduction in foreign taxes and the availability of higher foreign tax credits in fiscal 2013, as compared to 2012.

Net Earnings from Continuing Operations and Diluted Earnings per Share from Continuing Operations

Net earnings from continuing operations decreased $15.6 million, or 1%, to $1,364.1 million in fiscal 2013, which includes the effect of the $42.7 million goodwill impairment charge, compared to $1,379.7 million in fiscal 2012, which included the effect of an after tax gain on the sale of assets of $41.2 million. Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations was flat in fiscal 2013, as compared to $2.80 in fiscal 2012.
 
In fiscal 2013, our diluted earnings per share from continuing operations reflects the decrease in net earnings from continuing operations and the impact of fewer shares outstanding as a result of the repurchase of approximately 10.4 million shares in fiscal 2013.

Adjusted net earnings from continuing operations increased $68.3 million, or 5%, to $1,406.8 million, in fiscal 2013, as compared to $1,338.5 million for fiscal 2012, and the adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations increased 6%, to $2.89 for fiscal 2013, compared to $2.72, as adjusted, for fiscal 2012. The increase in adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for fiscal 2013 reflects the increase in adjusted net earnings from continuing operations and the impact of fewer shares outstanding due to the repurchase of approximately 10.4 million shares in fiscal 2013.

Fiscal 2012 Compared to Fiscal 2011
 
 
 
 
 
 
Total Revenues

Our total revenues increased $783.0 million, or 8%, to $10,616.0 million in fiscal 2012, as compared to fiscal 2011, due to an increase in revenues in Employer Services of 7%, or $510.2 million, to $7,388.5 million, PEO Services of 15%, or $227.5 million, to $1,771.4 million, and Dealer Services of 10%, or $147.8 million, to $1,661.3 million. Total revenues would have increased approximately 6% without the impact of recently completed acquisitions and the impact to revenues pertaining to the sale of assets related to rights and obligations to resell a third-party expense management platform. There was no impact to total revenue growth rates as a result of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Total revenues for fiscal 2012 include interest on funds held for clients of $493.3 million, as compared to $540.1 million in fiscal 2011. The decrease in the consolidated interest earned on funds held for clients resulted from the decrease in

21



the average interest rate earned to 2.8% during fiscal 2012, as compared to 3.2% for fiscal 2011, partially offset by an increase in our average client funds balance of 6%, to $17.9 billion in fiscal 2012.  

Total Expenses

Our total expenses increased $647.3 million, or 8%, to $8,678.9 million in fiscal 2012, as compared to fiscal 2011. The increase in our total expenses was due to an increase in operating expenses of $476.6 million, an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses of $142.3 million, and an increase in systems development and programming costs of $22.7 million. Total expenses would have increased approximately 6% without the impact of recently completed acquisitions.

Our total costs of revenues increased 9%, to $6,214.3 million in fiscal 2012, as compared to fiscal 2011 due to an increase in operating expenses of $476.6 million and an increase in systems development and programming costs of $22.7 million.

Operating expenses increased $476.6 million, or 10%, in fiscal 2012, as compared to fiscal 2011 due to the increase in revenues described above, including the increases in PEO Services, which has pass-through costs that are re-billable and which includes costs for benefits coverage, workers' compensation coverage and state unemployment taxes for worksite employees. These pass-through costs were $1,363.6 million in fiscal 2012, which included costs for benefits coverage of $1,060.3 million and costs for workers' compensation and payment of state unemployment taxes of $303.3 million. These pass-through costs were $1,182.2 million in fiscal 2011, which included costs for benefits coverage of $937.8 million and costs for workers' compensation and payment of state unemployment taxes of $244.4 million. The increase in operating expenses is also due to operating expenses related to businesses acquired of $132.1 million, and higher labor-related expenses in Employer Services of $38.5 million. Additionally, operating expenses decreased $5.4 million due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Systems development and programming costs increased $22.7 million, or 4%, in fiscal 2012, as compared to fiscal 2011, due to businesses acquired of $16.1 million, partially offset by a higher proportion of capitalizable efforts directed at feature and functionality product enhancements in the period. Additionally, systems, development, and programming costs decreased $1.3 million due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $142.3 million, or 6%, in fiscal 2012, as compared to fiscal 2011. The increase in expenses was related to severance expenses of $51.2 million resulting from cost reduction initiatives focused on the realization of synergies in certain international businesses as we adjust our cost structure in light of the softer European economic environment, an increase in selling expenses of $55.5 million resulting from increases in salesforce headcount coupled with an increase in expenses of businesses acquired of $36.7 million. Additionally, selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased $9.0 million due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Other income, net, increased $54.2 million in fiscal 2012, as compared to fiscal 2011. This increase was due to a gain of $66.0 million pertaining to the sale of assets related to rights and obligations to resell a third-party expense management platform during fiscal 2012. This increase was partially offset by the net activity related to our available-for-sale securities, including realized gains, realized losses and impairment losses, which together resulted in a decrease in other income, net of

22



$15.8 million, and a decrease in interest income on corporate funds of $3.6 million during fiscal 2012, as compared to fiscal 2011. The decrease in interest income on corporate funds resulted from lower average interest rates from 2.6% for fiscal 2011 to 2.1% for fiscal 2012, partially offset by increasing average daily corporate funds, which increased from $3.5 billion for fiscal 2011 to $4.0 billion for fiscal 2012. In addition, in the fourth quarter of 2012, we completed the sale of two buildings previously classified as assets held for sale for their combined carrying value of $6.9 million, net of selling costs. We had previously recorded impairment charges related to these two buildings of $2.2 million and $11.7 million during fiscal 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Earnings from Continuing Operations before Income Taxes

Earnings from continuing operations before income taxes increased $189.9 million, or 10%, to $2,107.9 million in fiscal 2012, as compared to fiscal 2011, due to the increase in revenues and the gain on sale of assets, partially offset by the increase in expenses discussed above. Overall margin increased approximately 30 basis points in fiscal 2012 with approximately 60 basis points of the margin contribution related to the gain on the sale of assets and approximately 40 basis points of margin decline attributable to acquisitions.

Adjusted earnings from continuing operations increased $123.9, or 6%, to $2,041.9 million in fiscal 2012, as compared to $1,918.0 million, as reported, for fiscal 2011 due to increased revenue and margin improvement in our business segments, partially offset by decline in interest on funds held for clients.

Provision for Income Taxes

The effective tax rates in fiscal 2012 and 2011 were 34.5% and 35.1%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the fiscal year is the result of the final resolution of certain tax matters, the expiration of certain statutes of limitation, and the availability of foreign tax credits, partially offset by an unfavorable mix of earnings between jurisdictions.

Net Earnings from Continuing Operations and Diluted Earnings per Share from Continuing Operations

Net earnings from continuing operations increased $134.7 million, or 11%, to $1,379.7 million in fiscal 2012 and includes an after-tax gain on sale of assets of $41.2 million, as compared to fiscal 2011. Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations increased 12%, to $2.80 compared to $2.50 in fiscal 2011. The increase in diluted earnings per share reflects the increase in net earnings and the impact of fewer shares outstanding as a result of the repurchase of approximately 14.6 million shares during fiscal 2012.

Adjusted net earnings from continuing operations increased $93.5 million, or 8% to $1,338.5 million, for fiscal 2012, from $1,245.0 million, as reported, for fiscal 2011, and the related diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, as adjusted, increased 9%, to $2.72 for fiscal 2012. The increase in diluted earnings per share, as adjusted, for fiscal 2012 reflects the increase in adjusted net earnings from continuing operations, as adjusted, and the impact of fewer shares outstanding due to the repurchase of approximately 14.6 million shares during fiscal 2012.

The prior years' reportable segment revenues and earnings from continuing operations before income taxes have been adjusted to reflect updated fiscal 2013 budgeted foreign exchange rates.  This adjustment is made for management purposes so that the reportable segments' revenues are presented on a consistent basis without the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.  This adjustment is a reconciling item to revenues from continuing operations and earnings from continuing operations before income taxes and is eliminated in consolidation.

Certain revenues and expenses are charged to the reportable segments at a standard rate for management reasons. Other costs are charged to the reportable segments based on management’s responsibility for the applicable costs.  The primary components of the “Other” segment are the results of operations of ADP Indemnity (a wholly-owned captive insurance company that provides workers’ compensation and employer’s liability deductible reimbursement insurance protection for PEO Services worksite employees), non-recurring gains and losses, miscellaneous processing services, such as customer financing transactions, and certain charges and expenses that have not been allocated to the reportable segments, such as stock-based compensation expense and the goodwill impairment charge.


24



In addition, the reconciling items include an adjustment for the difference between actual interest income earned on invested funds held for clients and interest credited to Employer Services and PEO Services at a standard rate of 4.5%.  This allocation is made for management reasons so that the reportable segments’ results are presented on a consistent basis without the impact of fluctuations in interest rates.  This allocation is a reconciling item to our reportable segments’ revenues from continuing operations and earnings from continuing operations before income taxes and is eliminated in consolidation.

Finally, the reportable segments’ results also include a cost of capital charge related to the funding of acquisitions and other investments.  This charge is a reconciling item to earnings from continuing operations before income taxes and is eliminated in consolidation.

Revenues

Employer Services' revenues increased $525.5 million, or 7%, to $7,914.0 million in fiscal 2013, as compared to fiscal 2012.  Revenues for our Employer Services business would have increased approximately 6% without the impact of acquisitions and revenues pertaining to the sale in fiscal 2012 of assets related to rights and obligations to resell a third-party expense management platform.  Revenues increased due to new business started during the year from new business bookings growth, an increase in the number of employees on our clients’ payrolls, and the impact of price increases.  Our worldwide client revenue retention rate in fiscal 2013 increased 40 basis points to 91.3% as compared to our rate in fiscal 2012 and our pays per control increased 2.8% in fiscal 2013

Earnings from Continuing Operations before Income Taxes

Employer Services’ earnings from continuing operations before income taxes increased $185.0 million, or 9%, to $2,134.2 million in fiscal 2013, as compared to fiscal 2012.  The increase was due to the increase in revenues of $525.5 million discussed above, which was partially offset by an increase in expenses of $340.5 million.  In addition to an increase in expenses related to increased revenues, expenses increased in fiscal 2013 due to investments in our salesforce and labor-related costs over the same period prior year levels coupled with the effects of acquisitions.  Overall margin increased approximately 60 basis points from 26.4% to 27.0% for fiscal 2013, as compared to fiscal 2012, and included the benefit of increased operating scale, offset by approximately 50 basis points of margin decline attributable to acquisitions.

Revenues

Employer Services' revenues increased $510.2 million, or 7%, to $7,388.5 million in fiscal 2012, as compared to fiscal 2011.  Revenues for our Employer Services business would have increased approximately 6% without the impact of acquisitions and revenues pertaining to the sale of assets related to rights and obligations to resell a third-party expense management platform.  Revenues increased due to new business started during the year from new business bookings growth, an increase in the number of employees on our clients' payrolls, and the impact of price increases.

Employer Services' earnings from continuing operations before income taxes increased $117.3 million, or 6%, to $1,949.2 million in fiscal 2012, as compared to fiscal 2011. The increase was due to the increase in revenues of $510.2 million discussed above, which was partially offset by an increase in expenses of $392.9 million. In addition to an increase in expenses related to increased revenues, expenses increased for fiscal 2012 due to investments in salesforce associate headcount and labor-related costs over the same period prior year levels coupled with the effects of acquisitions.

Revenues

Dealer Services' revenues increased $152.4 million, or 9%, to $1,813.7 million for fiscal 2013, as compared to fiscal 2012.  Revenues for our Dealer Services business would have increased approximately 8% without the impact of acquisitions due to new clients, improved client retention, and growth in our key products during fiscal 2013, as compared to fiscal 2012. Revenues increased due to new business started during the year from growth in new business bookings and increased users of our digital marketing solutions. We continue to see increased utilization of our credit report and vehicle registration transactions, consistent with the steady improvement of the North American new car market.

Earnings from Continuing Operations before Income Taxes

Dealer Services' earnings from continuing operations before income taxes increased $58.1 million, or 21%, to $335.7 million for fiscal 2013, as compared to fiscal 2012.

Overall margin increased approximately 140 basis points from 15.3% to 16.7% for fiscal 2012, as compared to fiscal 2011, which includes approximately 20 basis points of margin decrease related to acquisitions. In addition, overall margin increased approximately 50 basis points due to acquisition-related costs incurred during fiscal 2011 related to our acquisition of Cobalt in the prior year.

Other

The primary components of the “Other” segment are the results of operations of ADP Indemnity, non-recurring gains and losses, miscellaneous processing services, such as customer financing transactions, and certain charges and expenses that have not been allocated to the reportable segments, such as stock-based compensation expense and the goodwill impairment charge.

Stock-based compensation expense was $96.4 million, $94.1 million, and $90.3 million in fiscal 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively.

ADP Indemnity provides workers' compensation and employer's liability deductible reimbursement insurance protection for PEO Services worksite employees up to a $1 million per occurrence. PEO Services has secured specific per occurrence and aggregate stop loss insurance from a wholly-owned and regulated insurance carrier of AIG that covers all losses in excess of the $1 million per occurrence and also any aggregate losses within the $1 million retention that collectively exceed a certain level in each policy year. We utilize historical loss experience and actuarial judgment to determine the estimated claim liability for the PEO Services business. Premiums are charged to PEO Services to cover the claims expected to be incurred by the PEO Services' worksite employees. Changes in estimated ultimate incurred losses are recognized by ADP Indemnity. During fiscal 2013 ADP Indemnity paid a premium of $141.4 million to enter into a reinsurance arrangement with ACE American Insurance Company to cover substantially all losses incurred by ADP Indemnity for the fiscal 2013 policy year up to the $1 million per occurrence related to the workers' compensation and employer's liability deductible reimbursement insurance protection for PEO Services worksite employees. ADP Indemnity paid a premium of $142.4 million in July 2013 to enter into a reinsurance agreement with ACE American Insurance Company to cover substantially all losses for the fiscal 2014 policy year on terms substantially similar to the fiscal 2013 reinsurance policy to cover losses up to the $1 million per occurrence related to the workers' compensation and employer's liability deductible reimbursement insurance protection for PEO Services worksite employees.
 
Our net realized (gains) on the sale of available-for-sale securities, including impairment losses, were $(28.6) million, $(18.6) million, and $(34.4) million in each of fiscal 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively.

In fiscal 2013 we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $42.7 million related to our ADP AdvancedMD business which is part of the Employer Services segment. There were no goodwill impairment charges in fiscal 2012 and 2011.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At June 30, 2013, cash and marketable securities were $2,041.1 million, stockholders' equity was $6,189.9 million, and the ratio of long-term debt-to-equity was 0.2%.  Working capital before funds held for clients and client funds obligations at June 30, 2013 was $1,195.7 million, as compared to $1,337.0 million at June 30, 2012.  The decrease in working capital resulted from an increase in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and outstanding obligations under reverse repurchase agreements, partially offset by an increase in cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable, net.

Our principal sources of liquidity for operations are derived from cash generated through operations and through corporate cash and marketable securities on hand. We continued to generate positive cash flows from operations during fiscal 2013, and we held approximately $2.0 billion of cash and marketable securities at June 30, 2013.  We have the ability to borrow through our financing arrangements under our U.S. short-term commercial paper program and our U.S. and Canadian short-term reverse repurchase agreements to meet short-term funding requirements related to client funds obligations. Of the cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities held at June 30, 2013, approximately $245.2 million and $0.7 million are classified as long-term marketable securities and cash and cash equivalents, respectively, and were pledged as collateral by our Canadian subsidiary to engage in reverse repurchase obligations, which were subsequently repaid on July 2, 2013. An additional $0.6 billion was held by our foreign subsidiaries. Amounts held by foreign subsidiaries, if repatriated to the U.S., would generally be subject to foreign withholding and U.S. income taxes, adjusted for foreign tax credits. Our intent is to permanently reinvest these funds outside of the U.S. and our current plans do not demonstrate a need to repatriate them to fund our U.S. operations.

Our cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities, as reflected in the Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows for the years ended 2013, 2012, and 2011, are summarized as follows:

Net cash flows provided by operating activities were $1,577.2 million for fiscal 2013, as compared to $1,910.2 million provided by operating activities for fiscal 2012.  The decrease in net cash flows provided by operating activities was due to the payment of a premium of $141.4 million related to our fiscal 2013 reinsurance arrangement with ACE American Insurance Company, higher pension plan contributions of $43.7 million, a variance in the timing of tax-related net cash payments of $44.0 million, and an unfavorable change in the net components of working capital.

Net cash flows used in investing activities were $1,578.4 million for fiscal 2013, as compared to net cash flows provided by investing activities of $3,243.6 million for fiscal 2012. The net change in cash used in investing activities is due to the timing of receipts and disbursements of restricted cash and cash equivalents held to satisfy client funds obligations of $5,016.0 million, partially offset by a decrease in the purchases of corporate and client funds marketable securities of $210.9 million, a decrease in cash used for business acquisitions of $223.7 million, and an increase in cash received from the sale of businesses included in discontinued operations of $161.4 million.

Net cash flows provided by financing activities were $151.0 million for fiscal 2013 as compared to net cash flows used in financing activities of $4,953.9 million for fiscal 2012.  The net change in cash provided by financing activities is due to the net change in client funds obligations of $4,865.1 million as a result of the timing of cash received and payments made related to client funds, partially offset by an increase in dividends paid to our shareholders of $65.8 million.
    
We purchased approximately 10.4 million shares of our common stock at an average price per share of $61.89 during fiscal 2013 compared to purchases of 14.6 million shares at an average price per share of $51.26 during fiscal 2012.  From time to time, the Company may repurchase shares of its common stock under its authorized share repurchase programs.  The Company considers several factors in determining when to execute share repurchases, including, among other things, actual

28



and potential acquisition activity, cash balances and cash flows, issuances due to employee benefit plan activity, and market conditions. 

Our U.S. short-term funding requirements related to client funds are sometimes obtained through a short-term commercial paper program, which provides for the issuance of up to $6.75 billion in aggregate maturity value of commercial paper, rather than liquidating previously-collected client funds that have already been invested in available-for-sale securities.  In August 2013, the Company increased the U.S. short-term commercial paper program to provide for the issuance of up to $7.25 billion in aggregate maturity value. Our commercial paper program is rated A-1+ by Standard and Poor’s and Prime-1 by Moody’s.  These ratings denote the highest quality commercial paper securities.  Maturities of commercial paper can range from overnight to up to 364 days.  For fiscal 2013 and 2012, our average borrowings were $2.4 billion and $2.3 billion, respectively, at weighted average interest rate of 0.2% and 0.1%, respectively. The weighted average maturity of the Company’s commercial paper during fiscal 2013 approximated two days.  We have successfully borrowed through the use of our commercial paper program on an as needed basis to meet short-term funding requirements related to client funds obligations. At June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, we had no outstanding obligations under our short-term commercial paper program.

Our U.S. and Canadian short-term funding requirements related to client funds obligations are sometimes obtained on a secured basis through the use of reverse repurchase agreements, which are collateralized principally by government and government agency securities, rather than liquidating previously-collected client funds that have already been invested in available-for-sale securities. These agreements generally have terms ranging from overnight to up to five business days. We have $3.0 billion available to us on a committed basis under these reverse repurchase agreements. We believe that we currently meet all conditions set forth in the committed reverse repurchase agreements to borrow thereunder, and we are not aware of any conditions that would prevent us from borrowing part or all of the $3.0 billion available to us under the committed reverse repurchase agreements.  We have successfully borrowed through the use of reverse repurchase agreements on an as needed basis to meet short-term funding requirements related to client funds obligations. At June 30, 2013, we had $245.9 million of obligations outstanding related to reverse repurchase agreements, which were subsequently repaid on July 2, 2013. At June 30, 2012, we had no outstanding obligations under reverse repurchase agreements. For fiscal 2013 and 2012, we had average outstanding balances under reverse repurchase agreements of $362.0 million and $297.7 million, respectively, at weighted average interest rates of 0.7% and 0.6%, respectively.

We have a $2.0 billion, 364-day credit agreement with a group of lenders that matures in June 2014. In addition, we have a four-year $3.25 billion credit facility maturing in June 2015 that contains an accordion feature under which the aggregate commitment can be increased by $500.0 million, subject to the availability of additional commitments. We also have an existing $2.0 billion five-year credit facility that matures in June 2018 that also contains an accordion feature under which the aggregate commitment can be increased by $500.0 million, subject to the availability of additional commitments. The interest rate applicable to committed borrowings is tied to LIBOR, the federal funds effective rate, or the prime rate depending on the notification provided by the Company to the syndicated financial institutions prior to borrowing.  The Company is also required to pay facility fees on the credit agreements. The primary uses of the credit facilities are to provide liquidity to the commercial paper program and funding for general corporate purposes, if necessary.  We had no borrowings through June 30, 2013 under the credit agreements. We believe that we currently meet all conditions set forth in the revolving credit agreements to borrow thereunder, and we are not aware of any conditions that would prevent us from borrowing part or all of the $7.25 billion available to us under the revolving credit agreements.

Our investment portfolio does not contain any asset-backed securities with underlying collateral of subprime mortgages, alternative-A mortgages, sub-prime auto loans or sub-prime home equity loans, collateralized debt obligations, collateralized loan obligations, credit default swaps, asset-backed commercial paper, derivatives, auction rate securities, structured investment vehicles or non-investment grade fixed-income securities. We own AAA rated senior tranches of fixed rate credit card, auto loan, rate reduction, and other asset-backed securities, secured predominately by prime collateral.  All collateral on asset-backed securities is performing as expected.  In addition, we own senior debt directly issued by Federal Home Loan Banks and Federal Farm Credit Banks.  We do own mortgage-backed securities, which represent an undivided beneficial ownership interest in a group or pool of one or more residential mortgages.  These securities are collateralized by the cash flows of 15-year and 30-year residential mortgages and are guaranteed by Federal National Mortgage Association and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation as to the timely payment of principal and interest.  Our client funds investment strategy is structured to allow us to average our way through an interest rate cycle by laddering the maturities of our investments out to five years (in the case of the extended portfolio) and out to ten years (in the case of the long portfolio).  This investment strategy is supported by our short-term financing arrangements necessary to satisfy short-term funding requirements relating to client funds obligations.

Capital expenditures for continuing operations in fiscal 2013 were $174.8 million, as compared to $146.2 million in fiscal 2012 and $184.8 million in fiscal 2011. The capital expenditures in fiscal 2013 related to our data center and other facility improvements made to support our operations. We expect capital expenditures in fiscal 2014 to be between $190 million and $210 million.

These amounts represent the principal repayments of our debt and are included on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The estimated interest payments due by the corresponding period above are $0.6 million, $0.9 million, $0.3 million, and $0.0 million, respectively, which have been excluded.

(2)
Included in these amounts are various facilities and equipment leases and software license agreements. We enter into operating leases in the normal course of business relating to facilities and equipment, as well as the licensing of software. The majority of our lease agreements have fixed payment terms based on the passage of time. Certain facility and equipment leases require payment of maintenance and real estate taxes and contain escalation provisions based on future adjustments in price indices. Our future operating lease obligations could change if we exit certain contracts or if we enter into additional operating lease agreements.

(3)
Purchase obligations are comprised of a $142.4 million reinsurance premium with ACE American Insurance Company for the fiscal 2014 policy year, as well as obligations related to purchase and maintenance agreements on our software, equipment, and other assets.

(4)
We made the determination that net cash payments expected to be paid within the next 12 months, related to unrecognized tax benefits of $70.7 million at June 30, 2013, are expected to be up to $3 million. We are unable to make reasonably reliable estimates as to the period beyond the next 12 months in which cash payments related to unrecognized tax benefits are expected to be paid.

(5)
Compensation and benefits primarily relates to amounts associated with our employee benefit plans and other compensation arrangements.  These amounts exclude the estimated contributions to our defined benefit plans, which are expected to be $83.7 million in fiscal 2014. 

(6)
Acquisition-related obligations relate to deferred purchase consideration payments at future dates. A liability is established at the time of the acquisition for these fixed payments.

In addition to the obligations quantified in the table above, we had obligations for the remittance of funds relating to our payroll and payroll tax filing services. As of June 30, 2013, the obligations relating to these matters, which are expected to be paid in fiscal 2014, total $21,956.3 million and were recorded in client funds obligations on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We had $22,228.8 million of cash and marketable securities that have been impounded from our clients to satisfy such obligations recorded in funds held for clients on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2013.

ADP Indemnity provides workers' compensation and employer's liability deductible reimbursement insurance protection for PEO Services worksite employees up to a $1 million per occurrence. PEO Services has secured specific per occurrence and aggregate stop loss insurance from a wholly-owned and regulated insurance carrier of AIG that covers all losses in excess of the $1 million per occurrence and also any aggregate losses within the $1 million retention that collectively exceed a certain level in each policy year. Should AIG and its wholly-owned insurance company be unable to satisfy their contractual obligations, ADP would become responsible for satisfying these worksite employee workers' compensation obligations. We utilize historical loss experience and actuarial judgment to determine the estimated claim liability for the PEO Services

business. Premiums are charged to PEO Services to cover the claims expected to be incurred by the PEO Services' worksite employees. Changes in estimated ultimate incurred losses are recognized by ADP Indemnity. ADP Indemnity paid a premium of $142.4 million in July 2013 to enter into a reinsurance agreement with ACE American Insurance Company to cover substantially all losses for the fiscal 2014 policy year on terms substantially similar to the fiscal 2013 reinsurance policy to cover losses up to the $1 million per occurrence related to the workers' compensation and employer's liability deductible reimbursement insurance protection for PEO Services worksite employees. At June 30, 2013, ADP Indemnity's total assets were $329.4 million to satisfy the actuarially estimated unpaid losses of $268.9 million for the policy years since July 1, 2003. ADP Indemnity paid claims of $59.5 million, net of insurance recoveries, in fiscal 2013, and in fiscal 2012, paid claims of $64.1 million.

In the normal course of business, we also enter into contracts in which we make representations and warranties that relate to the performance of our services and products. We do not expect any material losses related to such representations and warranties.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Our overall investment portfolio is comprised of corporate investments (cash and cash equivalents, short-term marketable securities, and long-term marketable securities) and client funds assets (funds that have been collected from clients but not yet remitted to the applicable tax authorities or client employees).

Our corporate investments are invested in cash and cash equivalents and highly liquid, investment-grade marketable securities.  These assets are available for repurchases of common stock for treasury and/or acquisitions, as well as other corporate operating purposes.  All of our short-term and long-term fixed-income securities are classified as available-for-sale securities.

Our client funds assets are invested with safety of principal, liquidity, and diversification as the primary goals. Consistent with those goals, we also seek to maximize interest income and to minimize the volatility of interest income.  Client funds assets are invested in highly liquid, investment-grade marketable securities, with a maximum maturity of 10 years at the time of purchase and money market securities and other cash equivalents.  At June 30, 2013, approximately 91% of the available-for-sale securities categorized as U.S. Treasury and direct obligations of U.S. government agencies were invested in senior, unsecured, non-callable debt directly issued by the Federal Home Loan Banks and Federal Farm Credit Banks.
    
We utilize a strategy by which we extend the maturities of our investment portfolio for funds held for clients and employ short-term financing arrangements to satisfy our short-term funding requirements related to client funds obligations.  Our client funds investment strategy is structured to allow us to average our way through an interest rate cycle by laddering the maturities of our investments out to five years (in the case of the extended portfolio) and out to ten years (in the case of the long portfolio).  As part of our client funds investment strategy, we use the daily collection of funds from our clients to satisfy other unrelated client funds obligations, rather than liquidating previously-collected client funds that have already been invested in available-for-sale securities.  We minimize the risk of not having funds collected from a client available at the time such client’s obligation becomes due by impounding, in virtually all instances, the client’s funds in advance of the timing of payment of such client’s obligation.  As a result of this practice, we have consistently maintained the required level of client funds assets to satisfy all of our obligations.

There are inherent risks and uncertainties involving our investment strategy relating to our client funds assets.  Such risks include liquidity risk, including the risk associated with our ability to liquidate, if necessary, our available-for-sale securities in a timely manner in order to satisfy our client funds obligations.  However, our investments are made with the safety of principal, liquidity, and diversification as the primary goals to minimize the risk of not having sufficient funds to satisfy all of our client funds obligations.  We also believe we have significantly reduced the risk of not having sufficient funds to satisfy our client funds obligations by consistently maintaining access to other sources of liquidity, including our corporate cash balances, available borrowings under our $6.75 billion commercial paper program (rated A-1+ by Standard and Poor’s and Prime-1 (P1) by Moody’s, the highest possible credit ratings), our ability to execute reverse repurchase transactions ($3.0 billion of which is available on a committed basis), and available borrowings under our $7.25 billion committed revolving credit facilities. In August 2013, the Company increased the U.S. short-term commercial paper program to provide for the issuance of up to $7.25 billion in aggregate maturity value. The reduced availability of financing during periods of economic turmoil, even to borrowers with the highest credit ratings, may limit our ability to access short-term debt markets to meet the liquidity needs of our business.  In addition to liquidity risk, our investments are subject to interest rate risk and credit risk, as discussed below.

We have established credit quality, maturity, and exposure limits for our investments.  The minimum allowed credit rating at time of purchase for corporate and Canadian provincial bonds is BBB, for asset-backed securities is AAA, and for municipal bonds is A.  The maximum maturity at time of purchase for BBB rated securities is 5 years, for single A rated securities is 7 years, and for AA rated and AAA rated securities is 10 years. Time deposits and commercial paper must be rated A-1 and/or P-1. Money market funds must be rated AAA/Aaa-mf.
