Thoma Bravo Transaction As previously announced, on August 20, 2025, Dayforce entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") under which certain affiliates of Thoma Bravo, L.P. ("Thoma Bravo") will acquire Dayforce for $70.00 in cash per share of Dayforce common stock for a total enterprise value of approximately $12.3 billion, and Dayforce will become a privately-held company. Dayforce expects to complete the transaction, which is referred to herein as the "Thoma Bravo Transaction", in late 2025 or early 2026, subject to fulfillment of customary closing conditions, including approval of Dayforce stockholders and receipt of required regulatory approvals. Recent Developments • Dayforce sales strong momentum continued through the third quarter. • Dayforce saw declining employment levels at our customers in the third quarter negatively impacting Dayforce recurring revenue, excluding float. • Restructuring expenses of $27.6 million, primarily related to costs associated with the Thoma Bravo Transaction, negatively impacted free cash flow in the third quarter. • Dayforce was named a Leader in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Cloud HCM Suites for 1,000+ Employee Enterprises for the sixth consecutive year in September 2025. The Company also scored highest in three out of six use cases studied by the companion Gartner Critical Capabilities report, more than any other vendor. • The Company achieved record attendance at Dayforce Discover 2025, its annual customer conference in Las Vegas, where it welcomed its global community of customers, prospective customers, partners, and industry disruptors.

14 | Q3 2025 Earnings Release Non-GAAP Financial Measures Dayforce uses certain non-GAAP financial measures in this release including: Non-GAAP Financial Measure GAAP Financial Measure EBITDA Net (loss) income Adjusted EBITDA Net (loss) income Adjusted EBITDA margin Net profit margin Adjusted operating profit Operating profit Adjusted operating profit margin Operating profit margin Adjusted net income Net (loss) income Adjusted net profit margin Net profit margin Adjusted diluted net income per share Diluted net (loss) income per share Free cash flow Net cash provided by operating activities Free cash flow margin Net cash provided by operating activities margin Percentage change in revenue, including total revenue and revenue by solution, on a constant currency basis Percentage change in revenue, including total revenue and revenue by solution Dayforce recurring revenue per customer No directly comparable GAAP measure Dayforce believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to management and investors as supplemental measures to evaluate its overall operating performance including comparison across periods and with competitors. Dayforce's management team uses these non-GAAP financial measures to assess operating performance because these financial measures exclude the results of decisions that are outside the normal course of its business operations, and are used for internal budgeting and forecasting purposes both for short- and long-term operating plans. Additionally, Adjusted operating profit, free cash flow, and free cash flow margin are components of certain management compensation plans. Additionally, Dayforce believes that the non-GAAP financial measures free cash flow and free cash flow margin are meaningful to investors because they are measures of liquidity that provides useful information in understanding and evaluating the strength of Dayforce’s liquidity and future ability to generate cash that can be used for strategic opportunities or investing in its business. The reduction of capital expenditures facilitates comparisons of Dayforce’s liquidity on a period-to-period basis and excludes items that management does not consider to be indicative of Dayforce’s liquidity. These non-GAAP financial measures are not required by, defined under, or presented in accordance with, GAAP, and should not be considered as alternatives to Dayforce's results as reported under GAAP, have important limitations as analytical tools, and its use of these terms may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies in its industry. Dayforce's presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed to imply that its future results will be unaffected by similar items to those eliminated in this presentation. Please refer to Dayforce’s full financial results, including further discussion of non-GAAP financial measures, on the Investor Relations portion of its website at investors.dayforce.com. Dayforce defines its non-GAAP financial measures as follows: • EBITDA is defined as net (loss) income before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, and Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA, as adjusted to exclude share-based compensation expense and related employer taxes, and certain other items. • Adjusted EBITDA margin is determined by calculating the percentage Adjusted EBITDA is of total revenue. • Adjusted operating profit is defined as operating profit, as adjusted to exclude share-based compensation expense and related employer taxes, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, and certain other items. • Adjusted operating profit margin is determined by calculating the percentage Adjusted operating profit is of total revenue. • Adjusted net income is defined as net (loss) income, as adjusted to exclude share-based compensation expense and related employer taxes, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, and certain other items, all of which are adjusted for the effect of income taxes.

15 | Q3 2025 Earnings Release • Adjusted net profit margin is determined by calculating the percentage Adjusted net income is of total revenue. • Adjusted diluted net income per share is calculated by dividing adjusted net income by diluted weighted average shares outstanding. When adjusted net income is positive, diluted weighted average shares outstanding incorporate the effect of dilutive equity instruments. • Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities, reduced by capital expenditures. • Free cash flow margin is determined by calculating the percentage that free cash flow is of total revenue. • Percentage change in revenue, including total revenue and revenue by solution, on a constant currency basis is calculated by applying the average foreign exchange rate in effect during the comparable prior period. • Dayforce recurring revenue per customer is an indicator of the average size of Dayforce recurring revenue customers. To calculate Dayforce recurring revenue per customer, we start with Dayforce recurring revenue on a constant currency basis by applying the same exchange rate to all comparable periods for the trailing twelve months and excludes float revenue, and Ascender, ADAM HCM, and eloomi revenue. This amount is divided by the number of live Dayforce customers at the end of the trailing twelve month period, excluding Ascender, ADAM HCM, and eloomi. We have not reconciled Dayforce recurring revenue per customer to a GAAP financial measure because there is no directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Source: Dayforce, Inc.
