Exhibit 99.1

Paycom Software, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2026 Results

Second Quarter Total Revenues of $531 million, up 10% year-over-year

Second Quarter GAAP Net Income of $107 million, representing 20% of total revenues, or $2.34 per diluted share

Second Quarter Non-GAAP Net Income of $128 million, or $2.78 per diluted share

Second Quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $235 million, representing 44% of total revenues

OKLAHOMA CITY – August 5, 2026 – (BUSINESS WIRE) – Paycom Software, Inc. (“Paycom,” “we” and “our”) (NYSE: PAYC), a leading provider of comprehensive, cloud-based human capital management software, today announced its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.

“Our strong second-quarter results came in ahead of expectations, reflecting the strength of our automation strategy and disciplined execution,” said Paycom’s founder and CEO, Chad Richison. “We are building strong momentum through new product innovation and continued automation across our platform. With these strong results we are raising our full year outlook.”

Financial Highlights for the Second Quarter of 2026

Total Revenues of $531.2 million represented a 9.8% increase compared to total revenues of $483.6 million in the same period last year. Recurring and other revenues of $505.2 million increased 11.0% from the comparable prior year period and constituted 95.1% of total revenues.

GAAP Net Income was $107.4 million, or $2.34 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net income of $89.5 million, or $1.58 per diluted share, in the same period last year.

Non-GAAP Net Income1 was $127.7 million, or $2.78 per diluted share, compared to $116.6 million, or $2.06 per diluted share, in the same period last year.

Adjusted EBITDA1 was $235.0 million, compared to $198.3 million in the same period last year.

Cash and Cash Equivalents were $198.0 million as of June 30, 2026, compared to $370.0 million as of December 31, 2025. During the quarter ended June 30, 2026, Paycom paid $17.9 million in cash dividends and repurchased 2,570,072 shares of common stock for $345.9 million, in the aggregate.

1Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share are non-GAAP financial measures. Please see the discussion below under the heading “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information” and the reconciliations at the end of this release for additional information concerning these and other non-GAAP financial measures.

Financial Outlook

Paycom provides the following expected financial guidance for the year ending December 31, 2026.

Total revenue in the range of $2.197 billion to $2.212 billion, representing year-over-year growth between 7% and 8%.

Recurring and other revenue growth between 8% and 9% year over year.

Interest on funds held for clients of approximately $105 million.

Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $1.007 billion to $1.022 billion, representing a margin of approximately 46% at the midpoint.

We have not reconciled the forward-looking adjusted EBITDA ranges and adjusted EBITDA margin presented above and discussed on the teleconference call to net income, and have not reconciled any other forward-looking non-GAAP metrics that may be discussed on the teleconference call, including free cash flow margin and non-GAAP effective income tax rate, to comparable GAAP measures, because applicable information for future periods, on which these reconciliations would be based, is not readily available due to uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, taxes, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, capital expenditures, changes in working capital and other items. Accordingly, reconciliations of the forward-looking adjusted EBITDA ranges to net income, the forward-looking adjusted

EBITDA margin to net income margin, the forward-looking non-GAAP effective income tax rate to the GAAP effective income tax rate, and the forward-looking free cash flow margin to operating cash flow margin are not available at this time without unreasonable effort.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), we present certain non-GAAP financial measures in this press release and on the related teleconference call, including adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income, adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, adjusted sales and marketing expenses, adjusted total administrative expenses, adjusted research and development expenses, adjusted total research and development costs, adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP effective income tax rate, free cash flow and free cash flow margin. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures as supplemental measures to review and assess the performance of our core business operations and for planning purposes. We define (i) adjusted EBITDA as net income plus interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, certain transaction expenses that are not core to our operations (if any) and any loss on the extinguishment of debt, less any gain on modification of the naming rights agreement, (ii) non-GAAP net income as net income plus non-cash stock-based compensation expense, certain transaction expenses that are not core to our operations (if any) and any loss on the extinguishment of debt, less any gain on modification of the naming rights agreement, all of which are adjusted for the effect of income taxes, (iii) adjusted gross profit as gross profit plus applicable non-cash stock-based compensation expense, (iv) adjusted gross margin as gross profit plus applicable non-cash stock-based compensation expense, divided by total revenues, (v) each adjusted expense item as the GAAP expense amount less applicable non-cash stock-based compensation expense, (vi) adjusted total research and development costs as total research and development costs (including the capitalized portion) less applicable non-cash stock-based compensation (including the capitalized portion), (vii) adjusted EBITDA margin as adjusted EBITDA (calculated as described in clause (i)) divided by total revenues, (viii) non-GAAP effective income tax rate as the provision for income taxes plus the income tax effect on non-GAAP adjustments divided by non-GAAP net income (calculated as described in clause (ii)) plus the provision for income taxes and the income tax effect on non-GAAP adjustments, (ix) free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities, less purchases of property and equipment and purchases of intangible assets (if any), and (x) free cash flow margin as free cash flow (calculated as described in clause (ix)) divided by total revenues. The terms “capital expenditures” and “cap ex” refer to the aggregate amount of purchases of property and equipment and purchases of intangible assets, if any, during the applicable period. The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release and discussed on the related teleconference call provide investors with greater transparency to the information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. We believe these metrics are useful to investors because they facilitate comparisons of our core business operations across periods on a consistent basis, as well as comparisons with the results of peer companies, many of which use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement results under GAAP. In addition, adjusted EBITDA is a measure that provides useful information to management about the amount of cash available for reinvestment in our business, paying dividends, repurchasing common stock and other purposes. Management believes that the non-GAAP measures presented in this press release and discussed on the related teleconference call, when viewed in combination with our results prepared in accordance with GAAP, provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business and performance.

The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release and discussed on the related teleconference call are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for net income, gross profit, gross margin, research and development expenses, sales and marketing expenses, administrative expenses, total research and development costs, GAAP effective income tax rate and net cash provided by operating activities. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing our operating performance, you should not consider these non-GAAP financial measures in isolation, or as a substitute for the consolidated statements of income data prepared in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures that we present may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, and other companies may not calculate such measures in the same manner as we do.
