Automatic Data Processing entered into new revolving credit facilities totaling US$9.20 billion in late June, comprising a US$5.70 billion 364-day agreement and a US$3.50 billion five-year agreement. The new arrangements replace prior facilities and provide committed multi-currency funding for general corporate purposes, with an accordion feature and term-out option that materially increase financial flexibility for working capital and potential acquisitions. The expanded capacity does not alter the core investment debate around payroll growth and PEO margins, but it gives ADP more room to fund operations and M&A without immediately tapping equity or longer-term debt markets.
