On September 4, 2019 Cannae received net proceeds of $112.0 million and recorded a gain of $82.2 million upon the closing of its sale of 2,000,000 shares of common stock of Ceridian HCM Holding Inc. (“Ceridian”) as part of an underwritten secondary public offering

“Ceridian delivered another strong quarter from its Cloud services business as evidenced by the 30.2% increase in Dayforce revenue compared to the prior year quarter,” commented Chairman William P. Foley, II. “We continue to be pleased with our investment in Ceridian and believe there is significant opportunities for growth ahead. During the quarter, we prudently rebalanced our portfolio through the sale of an additional 2 million shares of CDAY stock, with proceeds used to pay down a portion of the leverage used to finance our purchase of D&B. Cannae currently owns approximately 28.7 million shares of Ceridian, representing an approximate 20% ownership stake, now worth $1.6 billion based on Ceridian’s closing price of $55.14 on November 8, 2019.”

Mr. Foley continued, “D&B’s management team continues to make significant progress transforming D&B’s operations and culture, having nearly achieved their full year, $200 million expense reduction target in the 2019 third quarter. Importantly, the sales force re-organization is driving an acceleration to growth as adjusted revenues increased 8.5% compared to the prior year quarter driven in part by improved sales productivity and cross selling. Looking forward, we continue to see opportunities to utilize D&B’s extensive and proprietary data to create new products and revenue streams to further accelerate organic sales growth.”

Turning to our restaurant group, the ABRH management team delivered an improvement to the group’s financial performance during the third quarter as the initiatives designed to reduce expenses and improve our store’s operations are taking hold. While we have more to accomplish, the group’s results this quarter are an important step in positioning the brands for monetization.”

Mr. Foley concluded, “T-System has progressed on their strategic initiatives designed to improve their operations and accelerate sales growth. Expanding T-System’s capabilities through M&A is a priority of our management team and we are pleased with the potential acquisition candidates in our pipeline.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) is the term used to refer to the standard framework of guidelines for financial accounting. GAAP includes the standards, conventions, and rules accountants follow in recording and summarizing transactions and in the preparation of financial statements. In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with GAAP, the Company has provided non-GAAP financial measures, which it believes are useful to help investors better understand its financial performance, competitive position and prospects for the future. These non-GAAP measures include earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), and earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization as a percent of revenue (EBITDA margin). The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation of or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. By disclosing these non-GAAP financial measures, Cannae believes it offers investors a greater understanding of, and an enhanced level of transparency into, the means by which Cannae’s management operates the company.

D&B's non-GAAP adjusted revenue is defined as GAAP revenue adjusted to reflect the elimination of the effect on revenue due to a purchase accounting fair value adjustment to deferred revenue and to include an additional month of revenue in the first quarter of 2019 related to the lag reporting for D&B's international operations, both associated with its Privatization. GAAP revenue is also adjusted to remove the impact of period-specific fluctuations in foreign currency. We believe all adjustments to GAAP revenue are useful to management and investors as they facilitate an accurate basis for which to compare revenue period over period.

D&B's adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income or loss before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, as adjusted to exclude net income or loss from restructuring charges, include earnings that were not recorded by D&B during the periods presented due to the deferred revenue purchase accounting adjustment recorded in accordance with GAAP, to include earnings of D&B's international operations which were previously reported on a one-month lag, to exclude non-cash equity-based compensation expense, professional and administrative expenses associated with mergers and acquisitions, and other non-core gains and losses that are not recurring or in the normal course of business.

D&B's adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as its Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Adjusted revenue before adjusting for the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

Ceridian presents revenue in constant currency to assess how its underlying business performed excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations. Ceridian calculates revenue on a constant currency basis by applying a fixed planning rate of $1.30 Canadian dollar to $1.00 U.S. dollar foreign exchange rate to revenue originally booked in Canadian dollars for all applicable periods.

Ceridian's adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income or loss before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, as adjusted to exclude net income or loss from discontinued operations, sponsor management fees paid in prior year periods to its equity sponsors, non-cash charges for asset impairments, gains or losses on assets and liabilities held in a foreign currency other than the functional currency of a company subsidiary, non-cash share-based compensation expense, severance charges, restructuring consulting fees incurred in connection with mergers and acquisitions or capital transactions, and charges to reserve for unrecoverable duplicate payments associated with a service issue.

Any non-GAAP measures should be considered in context with the GAAP financial presentation and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP net earnings. Further, Cannae's non-GAAP measures may be calculated differently from similarly titled measures of other companies. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to related GAAP measures are provided below.

On August 27, 2019, we announced the execution of definitive documents pursuant to which the Company transitioned to an externally managed structure governed by a management services agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the management services agreement, Cannae will pay Trasimene Capital Management, LLC a quarterly management fee equal to 0.375% (1.5% annualized) of the Company’s cost of invested capital (as defined in the Management Services Agreement) as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, payable in arrears in cash, as may be adjusted pursuant to the terms of the Management Services Agreement. We transitioned to the new management structure and commenced the management fee on November 1, 2019.

The following is the cost of invested capital for the Company's current portfolio (in millions).

Cannae accounts for its investments in D&B and Ceridian using the equity method of accounting; therefore, their results do not consolidate into the Company’s. As prescribed by relevant accounting standards, the Company recognizes its proportionate share of D&B and Ceridian’s net earnings or loss in earnings (loss) from equity investees in our consolidated results of operations.

For the first and second quarter of 2019, we accounted for our proportionate share of equity in Dun & Bradstreet's losses on a one quarter lag. In the third quarter of 2019, we began receiving timely financial information from Dun & Bradstreet and, in accordance with relevant accounting literature, began recording our ratable share of its losses on a real-time basis. Therefore, our results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 include the results of Dun & Bradstreet for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and the period from February 8, 2019 to September 30, 2019, respectively. We have retrospectively reflected our proportionate share of equity in losses of Dun & Bradstreet for the first and second quarter of 2019 in our third quarter Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

See the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for further information on the Company’s accounting for its investments in D&B and Ceridian.
