   Automatic Data Processing, Inc. (NYSE:ADP) reported 12.5% revenue
growth to $8.78 billion for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, Gary
C. Butler, president and chief executive officer, announced today.
Revenue growth benefited 2% from favorable foreign exchange rates
during the year. Excluding the current and prior year gains noted
above, diluted earnings per share from continuing operations grew 21%
from $1.80 to $2.18.

   Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2008 Discussion

   Commenting on the results, Mr. Butler said, "ADP's results for the
year were strong. We continue to execute against our strategic growth
program and have also continued to return a high level of excess cash
to our shareholders. While certain of our key business metrics, such
as the number of employees on our clients' payrolls, were impacted by
the softening of the economy during the second half of the fiscal
year, they remain positive. Importantly, new business sales in both
Employer Services and Dealer Services continued to grow despite the
challenging economy. We continued to invest in new products,
salesforce expansion, and implementation and client service
resources."

   Employer Services

   "Employer Services' revenues increased 7% for the fourth quarter,
all organic, and over 9% for the year, 8% organic. In the United
States, revenues from our traditional payroll and payroll tax filing
business grew 4% for the fourth quarter and 7% for the year. Beyond
payroll revenues, excluding PEO Services' revenues, grew 12% for the
fourth quarter and 16% for the year. The increase in the number of
employees on our clients' payrolls slowed in the United States to 0.8%
for the fourth quarter and 1.3% for the year, as measured on a
same-store-sales basis for our clients on our Auto Pay platform. Pay
growth in Europe continued in the fourth quarter and was positive for
the full year compared with a year ago. Worldwide client retention
improved 20 basis points for the year to a new record level. Employer
Services' pretax margin improved nearly 150 basis points and 90 basis
points for the fourth quarter and full year, respectively. The
full-year pretax margin expansion resulted from continued operating
leverage, including benefits from margin expansion initiatives, which
more than offset the impact of our product investments that drive our
five-point strategic growth program."

   "Despite challenges that continue to exist in the selling
environment, I am pleased with our execution for the fourth quarter.
Combined Employer Services and PEO Services worldwide new business
sales grew 7% for the quarter and 8% for the year. New business sales
represent annualized recurring revenues anticipated from new orders."

   PEO Services

   "PEO Services' revenues increased 16.5% for the fourth quarter and
20% for the year, all organic. PEO Services' pretax margin improved
approximately 30 basis points for the fourth quarter and 80 basis
points for the year. Average worksite employees paid by PEO Services
increased 17% for the fourth quarter, and 18% for the year, to
approximately 187,000 and 176,000, respectively."

   Dealer Services

   "Dealer Services' revenues increased 9% for the fourth quarter and
8.5% for the year, with 6% organic for both the fourth quarter and
full year. I am pleased that, despite market conditions, Dealer
Services had a solid fourth quarter, including very strong sales
growth both domestically and internationally. New business sales
growth was strong for the year, with double-digit growth in both our
North American and International businesses. Dealer Services' pretax
margin expanded over 100 basis points for the fourth quarter and 75
basis points for the year. The quarter and full-year pretax margin
expansion resulted from increased operating leverage, partially offset
by costs relating to the acquisitions of three Autoline distributors
that were completed earlier in the year."

   Interest on Funds Held for Clients, Interest Income on Corporate
Funds, and Interest Expense

   "Our investment portfolio strategy is to ladder and extend
maturities relating to our client funds. On days when inflows of cash
from clients and maturing investments are not enough to satisfy the
day's obligations we may choose to employ short-term financing to
satisfy client funds obligations. This extended investment strategy
allows us to temper the effects of interest rate fluctuations and
average our way through an interest rate cycle. Additionally, this
strategy impacts interest on funds held for clients, interest income
on corporate funds, and interest expense."

   "For the fourth quarter, interest on funds held for clients
declined $8.4 million, or 4.7%, from $178.1 million to $169.7 million,
due to a decline of nearly 40 basis points in the average interest
yield to 4.2%, partially offset by growth of 4.2% in average client
funds balances to $16.1 billion. Interest income on corporate funds
declined $9.2 million, or 20%, from $46.6 million to $37.4 million due
to a lower average interest yield of 100 basis points to 4.0%, as well
as lower average corporate investment balances compared with last
year's fourth quarter which included the cash dividend from the
spin-off of Brokerage Services. Included in interest income on
corporate funds is interest income related to the extended investment
strategy which increased $6.4 million, or 42% from $15.1 to $21.5
million. Interest expense declined $7.6 million, or 38%, from $20.1
million to $12.4 million primarily from interest expense on our
short-term financing related to the extended investment strategy where
the benefit of a 300 basis point decline in average borrowing rates to
2.2% was partially offset by higher average daily borrowings."

   "For the fiscal year, interest on funds held for clients grew
$30.9 million, or 4.7%, from $653.6 million to $684.5 million, due to
growth of 6.6% in average client funds balances to $15.7 billion,
partially offset by a decline of nearly 10 basis points in the average
interest yield to 4.4%. Interest income on corporate funds declined
$15.5 million, or 9%, from $165.0 million to $149.5 million due to a
lower average interest yield of 20 basis points to 4.4%, as well as
lower average corporate investment balances. Included in interest
income on corporate funds is interest income related to the extended
investment strategy which increased $9.2 million, or 13%, from $70.1
million to $79.4 million. Interest expense declined $14.4 million, or
15%, from $94.9 million to $80.5 million primarily from interest
expense on our short-term financing related to the extended investment
strategy where the benefit of a 120 basis point decline in average
borrowing rates to 4.1% was partially offset by higher daily average
borrowings."

   Fiscal 2009 Forecast

   For fiscal 2009, we are assuming no change in the current economic
environment. As a result, we are forecasting revenue growth of 7% to
8%, and diluted earning per share growth of 10% to 14%, up from $2.18
per share from continuing operations in fiscal 2008 excluding the gain
on the sale of a building in the fourth fiscal quarter.

   "We anticipate revenue growth of 6% to 7% for Employer Services,
16% to 17% for PEO Services, and 6% to 8% for Dealer Services. We
anticipate at least 50 basis points of pretax margin expansion in each
business segment. We are planning mid single-digit new business sales
growth worldwide for Employer Services and PEO Services on a combined
basis. We anticipate tougher year-over-year comparisons in new
business sales growth during the first half of fiscal 2009 as the
lower growth rates in the second half of fiscal 2008 are expected to
continue as a result of the weakened economic environment."

   "The interest assumptions in our forecasts are based on Fed Funds
futures contracts and forward yield curves as of July 28, 2008. The
Fed Funds futures contracts anticipate three increases of 25 basis
points each when the Fed is scheduled to meet in October 2008, and in
January and May 2009, exiting the fiscal year with a Fed funds rate of
2.75%. The forward yield curves indicate fixed income rates increasing
40 to 50 basis points during the fiscal year."

   "Interest on funds held for clients is expected to decline $25 to
$30 million, or approximately 4%, from $684.5 million in fiscal 2008
to $655 to $660 million based on an approximate 20 basis point decline
in the average interest yield to nearly 4.2%, partially offset by 1%
to 2% anticipated growth in average client funds balances to $15.8 to
$15.9 billion."

   "Interest income on corporate funds is expected to be relatively
flat compared to $149.5 million in fiscal 2008. Included in interest
income on corporate funds is interest income related to the extended
investment strategy which is expected to increase $5 to $10 million
from $79.4 million to $85 to $90 million."

   "Interest expense is expected to decline $25 to $30 million from
$80.5 million in fiscal 2008 to $50 to $55 million from lower
short-term interest expense related to the extended investment
strategy due to an anticipated decline of 170 basis points in average
borrowing rates to 2.4%, partially offset by higher anticipated
average daily borrowings."

   "This forecast is reflective of the current, challenging economic
environment. We believe that fiscal 2009 will be a very solid year and
ADP's long-term growth outlook remains positive. We are continuing to
invest in ADP's future as we execute successfully against our
five-point strategic growth program. We have returned to our
shareholders almost $1.5 billion through share repurchases and $549
million in dividends during fiscal 2008, and we remain committed to
continuing to return excess cash to our shareholders," Mr. Butler
concluded.
