Third Quarter 2022 Consolidated Results

Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2022 grew 8.7% to $750 million, as compared to $690 million. The growth was driven by a 9.9% increase in Employer Solutions revenue due to acquisitions, increased volumes and net commercial activity and a 2.2% increase in Professional Services. Recurring revenues, which comprise over 83% of total revenue, increased by 11% to $625 million due to growth in Employer Solutions.

Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $212 million or 28.3% of revenue compared to $238 million, or 34.5% of revenue. The change in gross profit was due to acquisitions in the fourth quarter of 2021, higher costs related to growth in current and forecasted future revenues and increased compensation expenses related to share-based awards.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2022 were $178 million, compared to $135 million. The change was primarily due to increased compensation expenses related to share-based awards in line with overperformance relative to BPaaS bookings targets.

Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased to $31 million as compared to $28 million. The increase was primarily due to higher interest expense on our Term Loan due to movement in market interest rates.

The Company’s loss before income tax benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2022 of ($65) million decreased compared to a loss before income tax benefit of ($120) million primarily due to non-operating fair value remeasurements.

Employer Solutions revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2022 grew 9.9% to $645 million, as compared to $587 million, as a result of acquisitions, increased volumes and net commercial activity, partially offset by lower project revenue.

Employer Solutions gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $189 million, as compared to $215 million.

Employer Solutions Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $130 million, as compared to $151 million.

Financial Statement Presentation

This press release includes certain historical consolidated financial and other data for Alight Holding Company, LLC (formerly known as Tempo Holding Company, LLC) (“Alight Holdings”) and its subsidiaries. In connection with the completion of our business combination transaction with FTAC on July 2, 2021 (the “Business Combination”), we undertook certain reorganization transactions so that substantially all of our assets and business are held by Alight Holdings, of which Alight, Inc. is the managing member.

As a result of the Business Combination, for accounting purposes, the Company is the acquirer and Alight Holdings is the acquiree and accounting predecessor. While the Closing Date was July 2, 2021, we have determined that as the impact of one day would be immaterial to the results of operations, we will utilize July 1, 2021 as the date of the Business Combination for accounting purposes. As a result of the Business Combination, the tables in this press release present selected financial data for the Successor for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Successor for the three months ended September 30, 2021, and the Predecessor for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company’s discussion of the results of operations compares the results of the Successor three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 to the results of the Successor three months ended September 30, 2021 and Predecessor six months ended June 30, 2021.

Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as earnings 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, is a non-GAAP financial measure used by management and our stakeholders to provide useful supplemental information that enables a better comparison of our performance across periods. Both Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA less Capital Expenditures are non-GAAP measures that are used by management and stakeholders to evaluate our core operating performance.

Adjusted Net Income, which is defined as net income attributable to Alight, Inc. 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.

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

Total debt net of cash and cash equivalents is defined as our long-term debt, net and the current portion of long-term debt, net minus our cash and cash equivalents.

Reconciliations of the historical non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release are included in the attached tables. 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. Reconciliations of projected non-GAAP measures included in the “Business Outlook” section of this press release are not included as they cannot be provided without unreasonable effort because of the inherent difficulty of accurately forecasting the occurrence and financial impact of the various adjusting items necessary for such reconciliation that have not yet occurred, are out of our control, or cannot be reasonably predicted. For the same reasons, we are unable to assess the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a material impact on our future GAAP financial results.
