Cloud Revenue is a GAAP measure, presented on a constant currency basis, that primarily includes revenue generated from solutions that are delivered via two Cloud offerings, Dayforce and Powerpay, adjusted to exclude significant acquisitions or disposals (subject to Board approval). Float revenue is included based on an average budget yield rate and actual volume.

To calculate “compensation actually paid” for David D. Ossip and Leagh E. Turner, and other NEOs, the following adjustments were made to the Summary Compensation Table total pay. The 2022 amounts in the tables below differ from those published in our 2023 Proxy Statement.
