Risk factors and legal proceedings

The risks Dayforce, Inc. names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Feb 28, 2025: 44 risks under these headings, as written.⁴

• Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
• Revenues from our Cloud solutions have grown substantially over the last few years, and we believe a significant portion of our market capitalization depends on sustaining the revenue growth trajectory of our Cloud solutions. Our efforts to continue growing revenue from our Cloud solutions may not succeed and may reduce our revenue growth rate.
• If the movement of funds to initiate payroll-related transactions on behalf of our customers is disrupted, we may suffer significant losses which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
• Our aging software infrastructure, technology, and sophistication of these systems, and our migration to new platforms, has and will continue to lead to increased costs, vulnerability to cyber-attack, or disruptions in operations that could have a material adverse effect on our business, market brand, financial condition, and results of operations.
• Our business plan is focused on an aggressive growth strategy. If we fail to manage our growth effectively or if our strategy is not successful, we may be unable to execute our business plan, to maintain high levels of service, to adequately address competitive challenges, or to achieve our profitability goals.
• The markets in which we participate are highly competitive, and if we do not compete effectively, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
• Our international growth strategy has and will continue to expose us to risks inherent in international sales and operations.
• If our current or future applications that we provide to customers fail to perform properly, our reputation could be adversely affected, our market share could decline, and we could be subject to liability claims, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
• If we fail to manage our technical operations infrastructure, our existing customers may experience service outages, and our new customers may experience delays in the implementation of our applications, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
• Our growth depends in part on the success of our strategic relationships with third parties who provide us with services and license us software for use in or with both our applications and our internal operations.
• Any failure to offer high-quality support services may adversely affect our relationships with our customers and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
• If our customers are not satisfied with the quality and pace of the implementation and professional services provided by us or our partners, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Legal proceedings

From time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. We are not presently a party to any legal proceedings that, if determined adversely to us, we believe would individually or taken together have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or liquidity. Discussion of legal matters is incorporated by reference from Part II, Item 8, Note 16, “Commitments and Contingencies,” of this Form 10-K and should be considered an integral part of Part I, Item 3, “Legal Proceedings”.
