Part I Item 1. Business - ----------------- Automatic Data Processing, Inc., incorporated in Delaware in 1961, and its subsidiaries (collectively, "ADP") are engaged in the computing services business. The following summary describes ADP's activities. Industry Segment All of ADP's computing services enable clients to process and/or distribute data (their own, ADP's or that of third parties) and/or to interactively access and utilize ADP and third party databases and information, utilizing ADP's batch, interactive and client site systems. Employer Services ADP's Employer Services offers a comprehensive range of payroll, payroll tax deposit and reporting, human resources (HR), benefits outsourcing, timekeeping, 401(k) recordkeeping, and unemployment compensation management services. These services are provided to over 350,000 clients engaged in a wide variety of businesses. In addition to its direct marketing, ADP has marketing relationships with many banks and accountants whereby ADP offers its services to their business clients. Employer services are offered from 40 computer centers and 73 satellite sales and service centers in the United States, 14 computer centers in Western Europe and one center in Canada. For clients who desire to do their own processing, client site payroll and HR software is available. Payroll and tax filing services comprise over 87% of Employer Services' revenue. Payroll services include the preparation of pay checks and direct deposits, along with supporting journals, summaries and management reports. ADP also supplies the quarterly and annual social security, medicare, and federal, state and local income tax withholding reports required to be filed by employers and employees. ADP's tax filing services process federal, state and local payroll taxes on behalf of ADP clients and remit such taxes to the appropriate taxing authorities when due. As new products evolve (such as new hire reporting, ADP check/full service direct deposit and wage garnishment payment), the ADP Tax Filing center is also responsible for the efficient movement of funds and information to third parties. Over 260,000 clients rely on tax filing to assure regulatory compliance. Approximately 45% of Employer Services' payroll and payroll tax filing services revenue for the past three fiscal years have been attributable to its heartland accounts (companies with between 1 and 99 employees), approximately 40% to major accounts (between 100 and 999 employees) and approximately 15% to national accounts (with 1,000 or more employees). Autopay continues to be ADP's most popular, flexible and comprehensive payroll product with over 225,000 clients. Recently, PC/Payroll for Windows was introduced. ADP offers EasyPay, a simple, low-cost, outsourcing payroll solution for approximately 100,000 clients in the heartland -1-
market. For heartland clients who prefer client site processing for managing payroll and payroll taxes, ADP has a PC-based product called SoftPay. For national accounts clients, ADP's Client Server Series provides fully integrated client site payroll, HR and benefits administration and outsourcing services. ADP's Application Group installs and implements client server systems for ADP clients and other users of server technology. Full Service Direct Deposit in association with major bank partners permits employers to easily, rapidly and economically make electronic direct deposits to employee bank accounts. ADP's joint venture with Checkfree Corporation provides electronic banking and bill payment services to small businesses to help them manage money and improve their accounts payable process. ADP's HR services, operating in conjunction with a client's payroll database, provide comprehensive recordkeeping HR services, including benefits administration and outsourcing, applicant tracking, employee history and position control. The various HR systems run on standalone PC's, local or wide area networks or client/server systems. ADP Total Time provides a comprehensive time-keeping system fully integrated into ADP's payroll systems. ADP's unemployment compensation service aids clients in managing and reducing unemployment insurance costs. ADP's Peachtree and One Write accounting packages are sold through retail channels. ADP also offers 401(k) recordkeeping, benefits administration and benefits consulting. Comprehensive 401(k) administrative services relating to defined benefit plans, flexible spending, healthcare and other group benefits are offered. As more ADP clients become multinational in scope, it becomes increasingly important to offer services on a global scale. Last January, ADP acquired Paris-based GSI, Europe's largest provider of payroll and related HR services. In Europe, ADP's services for payroll and HR management are now provided in Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. This makes ADP the first provider of integrated payroll and HR services to U.S. corporations and their European subsidiaries. Brokerage Services ADP's Brokerage Services provides high quality, high speed securities transaction processing, investor support tools, market data services, and investor communications related services to the financial community worldwide. ADP is the largest provider of such third-party processing and retail equity information systems in the U.S. and Canada. Brokerage Services now supplies over 2,600 firms globally with technology-based information solutions. ADP provides front-office database, news, analytic and quotation services for the investment and brokerage community through terminals located on brokers' desks. ADP provides such services through interactive work stations (utilizing client-server architecture) for all active equity securities, commodities, currencies, and interest rate futures. ADP also offers its international clients real-time news processing systems, real-time fixed income, foreign exchange and money market information, and sophisticated analytics. ADP's Power Partner service is based on state-of-the-art "object linking and embedding technology" which allows clients to modularly build, and -2-
seamlessly integrate, market information, securities processing systems, broker productivity tools, client applications and third party software into their workstations. Global Treasury Information Services (GTIS) keeps its clients in tune with price information, news and commentary on world markets in the areas of fixed income, foreign exchange, money markets, futures and metals. Information is contributed directly to GTIS by key institutions (e.g., banks and brokers) who participate in these markets. Brokerage Services continued its expansion in the institutional marketplace with several acquisitions. The DAIS Group provides sophisticated quantitative models to help portfolio managers assess risk and select stocks. Merrin Financial provides automated securities trade order management and routing solutions for investment managers and securities brokers. Information Catalysts (ICI) markets automated and fixed income trading, operations and accounting software for domestic and international banks and securities brokerage firms. ADP provides back-office stock brokerage and related financial computing services such as trade processing, cage management, stock loan accounting, on-line inquiry and data collection, portfolio reporting, order matching and on-line trading. All of these services are offered in the United States and Canada. ADP's GlossTrader client-server system offers global multicurrency clearance and settlement services for international securities. ADP provides shareholder communication services in the United States and Canada, handling all shareholder mailings and proxy processing for shareholders whose securities are left in "street name" in the custody of ADP's "nominee" clients (principally brokerage firms and banks). In fiscal 1996, ADP processed over 235 million shareholder mailings for over 12,000 publicly held corporations, mutual funds and financial institutions. Shareholder ballots representing approximately 127 billion shares were electronically processed. As part of its shareholder communication services, ADP introduced StreetLink, a quickly deliverable laser printed alternative to expensive quarterly mailings to shareholders. Proxy Edge is an electronic voting service which dramatically improves voting efficiency and record keeping. PhoneVOTE Services enables mutual fund shareholders to vote their proxy over the telephone for same-day tabulation. Dealer Services ADP's Dealer Services provides industry-specific computing, data and professional services to automobile, truck and farm equipment dealers and manufacturers in the U.S., Canada, Europe, Asia and Latin America. Over 16,000 dealers use ADP's on-site systems and communications networks to manage every area of sales and operations. ADP addresses critical dealership areas and offers software and professional services to improve consumer loyalty, asset management, innovative technology, employee productivity training, manufacturer relations, business improvements and real-time information access. It offers clients a service solution which includes ADP computer hardware, licensed software, software support and hardware maintenance services. Clients use ADP's systems to manage their accounting, inventory, factory communications, scheduling, leasing,sales and service activities. In addition, ADP offers more than 95 manufacturer subsystems for pricing updates and factory ordering. -3-
ADP establishes and maintains communications networks for its clients which allow interactive communications between manufacturers and their respective dealers. These communication networks are used for new vehicle ordering, status inquiry and warranty claims, parts and vehicle locating, credit checks, vehicle repair estimating, vehicle registration and vehicle lienholder information. ADP continues to automate the business processes for its clients through value-added products such as paperless parts cataloging, repair shop pricing and scheduling, laser printing, and data archiving and document storage. ADP's Laser Station replaces pre-printed, multipart, carbonized forms with customized laser-printed originals, allowing dealers to print from a single laser printer all types of customer communications, including customer satisfaction surveys, service reminders, invoices and statements. ADP's Document Storage & Data Archiving product is designed to create a paperless office, using optical disk and scanning technologies to electronically scan, store and retrieve purchase orders, invoices, checks, other documents and even customer signatures. ADP's New Vehicle Order System increases vehicle order accuracy, improves vehicle management and reduces floor plan interest expense. The Used Vehicle Network helps dealers manage their used vehicles more efficiently. As industry change accelerated, ADP introduced its Advisor family of products. Super Service Advisor fully automates the reservation and service write-up process using hand-held wireless, electronic clipboard technology. Sales Advisor is a complete retail sales process application designed to improve sales performance and customer handling. The ADP Sales Kiosk is a state-of-the-art interactive sales presentation tool, and ADP's Relationship Marketing System (RMS) automates all phases of customer contact from initial prospect through the purchase life cycle and on-going service. Changes in customer expectations and manufacturer's requirements are modifying how the traditional dealership conducts business. In response to these changes, ADP is providing consulting services to its dealer clients to help them reengineer their management processes. It also offers solutions to help employee productivity and training, and provides the tools and services necessary to improve dealership productivity and profitability. Claims Services ADP provides auto repair estimating and parts availability services to insurance companies, claims adjusters, repair shops and salvage yards involved in auto collision repair and valuation in the United States and Canada. The services include automated collision damage repair estimating for cars and trucks, vehicle valuation services for total losses, and parts locating and pricing services to auto insurers and repairers to facilitate the claims settlement and parts locating processes. ADP provides management information and vehicle damageability and repair cost statistics to insurance companies, government agencies and automobile manufacturers. A pen-based, mobile auto estimating system, using state-of-the-art technology and graphical user interfaces, was recently introduced. Satellite and voice-based trading networks for the location and pricing of recycled parts, and ADP's salvage-related products and services, have been significantly expanded. ADP provides services that evaluate the appropriateness of medical treatment and invoicing for auto accident victims. The core product, Provider Bill Audit, is an expert system that performs fee and utilization audits of medical provider bills involving soft tissue injury and that provides auto -4-
insurers with a consistent methodology for assessing the proper diagnoses and treatment of automobile-related injuries. ADP also provides a property loss repair and replacement system to assist in settling homeowners' claims. Nature of Services Provided In each of Employer Services, Dealer Services, Claims Services and most of Brokerage Services, ADP's services primarily involve the processing and utilization of client and/or third party data. In the front-office component of the Brokerage Services business, the primary service takes the form of providing securities, commodities and currencies quotation data (which data is provided by various exchanges) and news to clients; this front-office component represents less than 10% of consolidated revenue. Services to all industries are generally available by the electronic transmission (through communications lines) of computer-generated data and information from and to clients. Services are offered through a variety of systems and networks which run on industry-standard operating systems. Virtually none of ADP's services require ADP-proprietary hardware and/or operating systems. All of ADP's services utilize somewhat similar facilities, computers, communications networks, salesforces, and client service support personnel. ADP's businesses share numerous facilities, selected computer rooms and communications networks, and ADP occasionally transfers some of its employees among business units. The input and output of all of ADP's businesses is data and information. On occasion ADP has transferred services and products between business units. While the labor intensiveness of a service may vary somewhat based on the degree of automation and complexity in providing the service, all services use the same basic functions as described above. None of ADP's service offerings are particularly capital intensive. Markets and Marketing Methods All of ADP's services are sold broadly across the United States and Canada. Non-North American services amounted to approximately 11% of fiscal 1996 revenue. All services use common marketing techniques, including direct sales methodologies with emphasis on referral sources. None of ADP's major business groups have a single homogenous client base or market. For example, while Brokerage Services primarily serves the retail brokerage market, it also serves banks, commodity dealers, the institutional brokerage market and individual non-brokerage corporations. Dealer Services primarily serves automobile dealers, but also serves truck and agricultural equipment dealers, auto repair shops, used car lots, state departments of motor vehicles, and manufacturers of automobiles, trucks and agricultural equipment. Claims Services has many clients who are insurance companies, but also provides services to automobile manufacturers, body repair shops, salvage yards, distributors of new and used automobile parts and other non-insurance clients. Employer Services has clients from a large variety of industries and markets. Within this client base are concentrations of clients in specific industries. While concentrations of clients exist, no one business group is material -5-
to ADP's overall revenue. Employer Services also sells to auto dealers, brokerage clients, and insurance clients. None of ADP's businesses are overly sensitive to price changes. Economic conditions among selected clients and groups of clients may and do have a temporary impact on demand for ADP's services. ADP enjoys a leadership position in each of its major service offerings and does not believe any major service or business unit in ADP is subject to unique market risk. Competition The computing services industry is 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 independent computing services companies in the United States. ADP's competitors include other independent computing services companies, divisions of diversified enterprises and banks. Another competitive factor in the computing services industry is the in-house computing function, whereby a company installs and operates its own computing systems. Competition in the computing services industry is primarily based on service responsiveness, product quality and price. ADP believes that it is very competitive in each of these areas and that there are no material negative factors impacting ADP's competitive position in the computing services industry. No one competitor or group of competitors is dominant in the computing services industry. Clients and Client Contracts ADP provides computing services to over 375,000 clients. Annual revenues attributable to large client accounts range from $1 million to approximately $67 million per client, while thousands of small client accounts produce annual revenues of less than $1,000 each. ADP's largest single client accounts for approximately 2% of its annual revenue. ADP has no material "backlog" because the period between the time a client agrees to use ADP's services and the time the service begins is generally very short and because no sale is considered firm until it is installed and begins producing revenue. ADP's average client retention is seven years in Employer Services and is ten or more years in Brokerage, Dealer and Claims Services, and does not vary significantly from period to period. Discounts, rebates and promotions offered by ADP to clients are not material. ADP's services are provided under written Price Quotations or Services Agreements having varying terms and conditions. No one Price Quotation or Service Agreement is material to ADP. -6-
Systems Development and Programming During the fiscal years ended June 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994, ADP spent $249,635,000, $193,173,000 and $160,803,000, respectively, on systems development and programming activities for the development of new, and the improvement and maintenance of existing, computing services. Product Development ADP continually upgrades, enhances and expands its existing products and services. Generally, no new product or service has a significant effect on ADP's revenue or negatively impacts its existing products and services, and each existing product and service has a significant remaining life cycle. 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. Licenses, patents, trademarks and franchises are not material to ADP's business as a whole. Compensation of Marketing and Sales Personnel The compensation arrangements of ADP's marketing and sales personnel vary significantly based on the tenure of the particular salesperson, with the commission-based portion of total compensation averaging approximately 40%. ADP sets minimum sales quotas on an individual basis. Computer Systems ADP does not manufacture computer systems or act as a distributor of computer systems. ADP may, however, be deemed to be a value-added reseller of computer systems insofar as its services often include computer equipment as part of the total service solution. ADP's services are offered on a variety of computer platforms which run various operating systems. These computer platforms include those offered by IBM, IBM-compatibles, Digital Equipment Corporation, Apple, Motorola, Hewlett Packard and McDonnell Douglas. The industry-standard operating systems supporting such computer platforms include DOS, Windows, OS2, VSE, MVS, VMS, System 7 OS, Unix, Reality and Pick. ADP's service warranty to its clients is that if any errors or omissions occur in its service offerings, ADP will correct them as soon as possible. In addition, ADP provides, either directly or through third parties, maintenance and support for the ADP-provided equipment and software which facilitates the delivery of its services to clients. Number of Employees ADP employed approximately 29,000 persons as of June 30, 1996. -7-
Executive Officers of the Registrant See Item 10 in Part III hereof. Item 2. Properties ADP leases space for more than 55 of its processing centers. In addition, ADP leases numerous small processing centers and sales offices. All of these leases, which aggregate approximately 5,020,469 square feet in the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia, expire at various times up to the year 2016. ADP owns 23 of its processing facilities and its corporate headquarters in Roseland, New Jersey, which aggregate approximately 2,331,645 square feet. Item 3. Legal Proceedings None Item 4.
