Guidance: Peter Hadley: Both our Employer Services and PEO segments revenue growth came in at the high end of the guidance range, bringing total fiscal 2026 revenue to $21.9 billion.Demand and orders: Maria Black: Starting with Employer Services, we delivered more than $2.2 billion of new business bookings in fiscal 2026, representing 6% growth over the prior year. This reflects the strength of our solutions and the power of our unmatched distribution capabilities, which remain a competitive advantage for us.Margins: Peter Hadley: ES margins increased 60 basis points for the year, which included approximately 20 basis points of acquisition-related drag from the Workforce Software acquisition that anniversaried in early Q2.Analyst Q&A
Analyst Bryan Keane asked: Got it. And then just on the flip side, you know, you talked about productivity and then, obviously, lowering the cost of delivery. You know, how is AI going to help kind of drive future margin expansion? Management Peter Hadley answered: Yeah. Absolutely. I mean, we spoke about that last quarter, when we lifted our guide and pleased to deliver at the high end of our guide for 2026. I think that is implicit also in our guide. You know, there is obviously many things going on in the margin. Float clearly is one of them. Contribution from AI and productivity. Not just AI. there is also, you know, product innovation and things we are doing some of the tools we are deploying, which, again, as Maria said, are AI-infused within the fabric of what we do.管理层陈述

指引：彼得·哈德利称：我们雇主服务部和PEO部门的收入增长均处于指引区间上限，2026财年总营收达到219亿美元。需求与订单：玛丽亚·布莱克称：以雇主服务部为例，我们2026财年新增业务订单超过22亿美元，同比增长6%，这反映了我们解决方案的实力与无与伦比的分销能力，仍是我们的竞争优势。利润率：彼得·哈德利称：本年度雇主服务部利润率提升60个基点，其中约20个基点的拖累来自二季度初达到周年节点的Workforce Software收购相关成本。分析师问答
分析师布莱恩·基恩提问：你们此前谈到了提升生产力和降低交付成本，请问人工智能将如何助力未来的利润率扩张？ 管理层彼得·哈德利回应：我们上一季度就已谈及该话题，当时上调了业绩指引并顺利完成2026财年指引区间的高端目标。利润率受多重因素影响，浮动成本、人工智能与生产力提升均有贡献，不仅是人工智能，还包括产品创新以及我们部署的融入人工智能的相关工具。This earnings research was prepared from company results, regulatory filings, financial statements, and earnings-call transcripts or official replays.
