Presentation of Results

As such, the financial information contained in this release is presented on a continuing operations basis, unless otherwise noted. The Payroll & Professional Services business transaction closed on July 12, 2024.

Third Quarter 2024 Highlights (all comparisons are relative to third quarter 2023)

Revenue decreased 0.4% to $555 million
Business Process as a Service (BPaaS) revenue grew 18.6% to $121 million, representing 21.8% of total revenue
Gross profit of $174 million and gross profit margin of 31.4%, compared to $166 million and 29.8% in the prior year period, respectively, and adjusted gross profit of $200 million and adjusted gross profit margin of 36.0%, compared to $192 million and 34.5% in the prior year period, respectively
Net loss of $44 million compared to the prior year period net loss of $40 million

Repurchased $75 million of common stock under previously announced Accelerated Share Repurchase program

Third Quarter 2024 Results

Revenue decreased 0.4% to $555 million, as compared to $557 million in the prior year period. The decrease was driven by lower volumes, lower project revenue and the wind-down of the Hosted business operations, partially offset by higher net commercial activity. Excluding the exited Hosted business, revenue increased 0.9%. Recurring revenues were 90.8% of total revenue.

Gross profit was $174 million, or 31.4% of revenue, compared to $166 million, or 29.8% of revenue in the prior year period. The increase in gross profit was primarily driven by productivity savings.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $6 million when compared to the prior year period. This was driven by professional fees incurred related to the sale of the Payroll & Professional Services business, partially offset by lower compensation expenses primarily related to share-based awards and lower costs incurred from the previously announced restructuring program.

Interest expense of $19 million decreased $15 million from the prior year period. Interest expense benefited from the repricing of the 2028 term loan and the $740 million debt pay down.

The Company’s loss from continuing operations before income tax benefit was $53 million compared to loss from continuing operations before income tax benefit of $54 million in the prior year period. The improvement was primarily attributable to lower interest expense as a result of the debt pay down and other income recorded in conjunction with the transition services agreement entered into with the purchaser of the divested Payroll & Professional Services business, partially offset by the non-operating fair value remeasurements of financial instruments and the tax receivable agreement.

Balance Sheet Highlights

As of September 30, 2024, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance was $300 million, total debt was $2,031 million and total debt net of cash and cash equivalents was $1,731 million.

Initiates Quarterly Dividend Program

The Company announced today that its Board of Directors approved a new quarterly dividend program. The Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.04 per share to be paid on December 16, 2024 to all stockholders of record as of December 2, 2024. The Company intends to continue paying regular cash dividends on a quarterly basis, subject to market conditions and approval by the Board of Directors.

Fourth Quarter 2024 Business Outlook

The Company's fourth quarter of 2024 outlook includes:

Revenue of $665 million to $685 million ($10 million increase at midpoint versus previous 2nd half guidance).
BPaaS Revenue of $144 to $154 million.

Adjusted EBITDA margin range of 30.4% to 35.0%.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company refers to certain non-GAAP financial measures in this press release, including: Adjusted EBITDA From Continuing Operations, Adjusted EBITDA Margin From Continuing Operations, Adjusted Net Income From Continuing Operations, Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share From Continuing Operations, Operating Cash Flow Conversion, Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin. Please see below for additional information and for reconciliations of such non-GAAP financial measures. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is used to enhance our investors’ and lenders’ understanding of certain aspects of our financial performance. This discussion is not meant to be considered in isolation, superior to, or as a substitute for the directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA From Continuing Operations, which is defined as earnings from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation and intangible amortization adjusted for the impact of certain non-cash and other items that we do not consider in the evaluation of ongoing operational performance. Adjusted EBITDA Margin From Continuing Operations is defined as Adjusted EBITDA From Continuing Operations divided by revenue. Both Adjusted EBITDA From Continuing Operations and Adjusted EBITDA Margin From Continuing Operations are non-GAAP financial measures used by management and our stakeholders to provide useful supplemental information that enables a better comparison of our performance across periods as well as to evaluate our core operating performance.

Adjusted Net Income From Continuing Operations, which is defined as net income (loss) from continuing operations adjusted for intangible amortization and the impact of certain non-cash items that we do not consider in the evaluation of ongoing operational performance, is a non-GAAP financial measure used solely for the purpose of calculating Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share From Continuing Operations.

Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share From Continuing Operations is defined as Adjusted Net Income From Continuing Operations divided by the adjusted weighted-average number of shares of Alight Inc. common stock, diluted. Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share From Continuing Operations is used by us and our investors to evaluate our core operating performance and to benchmark our operating performance against our competitors.

Operating Cash Flow Conversion is defined as cash provided by operating activities divided by Adjusted EBITDA. Operating Cash Flow Conversion is used by management and stakeholders to evaluate our core operating performance.

Adjusted Gross Profit is defined as revenue less cost of services adjusted for depreciation, amortization and share-based compensation, and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin is defined as Adjusted Gross Profit divided by revenue. Management uses Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin as key measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions and in evaluating our performance. We believe that presenting Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin is useful to investors as it eliminates the impact of certain non-cash expenses and allows a direct comparison between periods.

Revenue Under Contract is an operational metric that represents management’s estimate of anticipated revenue expected to be recognized in the period referenced based on available information that includes historical client contracting practices. The metric does not reflect potential future events such as unexpected client volume fluctuations, early contract terminations or early contract renewals. Our metric may differ from similar terms used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited.
