Exhibit 99.2

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and explanatory notes presented below, which we refer to as the pro forma financial statements, have been prepared by The Ultimate Software Group, Inc. ("Ultimate Software", "Ultimate" or the "Company") to reflect its completed acquisition (the "Acquisition") of PeopleDoc SAS, a simplified joint-stock company (société par actions simplifiée) organized under the laws of France (“PeopleDoc”), as described in Item 2.01 of Ultimate's Current Report on Form 8-K, filed on July 31, 2018.
    
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and explanatory notes as of June 30, 2018 and for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and for the year ended December 31, 2017, respectively, combine the historical condensed combined balance sheet and condensed combined statements of operations of Ultimate Software with the historical condensed combined balance sheet and condensed combined statements of operations of PeopleDoc as of June 30, 2018, for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and for the year ended December 31, 2017. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2018 is presented as if the acquisition of PeopleDoc had occurred on that date. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 is presented as if the acquisition of PeopleDoc had occurred on January 1, 2017, the first day of the Company's 2017 fiscal year.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information gives effect to the Acquisition, which includes adjustments for the following:

the conversion of PeopleDoc's historical financial statements from Euros ("EUR") to U.S. Dollars ("USD");

the conversion of PeopleDoc's historical financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") to U.S. GAAP;

certain reclassifications to conform PeopleDoc's historical financial statement presentation to Ultimate's presentation;

application of the acquisition method of accounting under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 805 - Business Combinations ("ASC 805");

transaction costs in connection with the Acquisition.
    
The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted in the pro forma financial statements to give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the Acquisition, (2) factually supportable and (3) with respect to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations, expected to have a continuing effect on the combined results of Ultimate Software and PeopleDoc. The statements contained herein do not reflect the costs of any integration activities or benefits that may result from the realization of future cost savings from operating efficiencies, or any other synergies that may result from the Acquisition.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements do not necessarily reflect what the combined company's financial condition or results of operations would have been had the Acquisition occurred on the dates indicated. They also may not be useful in predicting the future financial condition and results of operations of the combined company. The actual balance sheet and results of operations may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts reflected herein due to a variety of factors.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations have been presented based on available information and certain assumptions as described in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information which management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved had the Acquisition been consummated on the dates indicated, nor are they necessarily indicative of future results. The historical combined financial information has been adjusted to reflect factually supportable items that are directly attributable to the Acquisition and, with respect to the statements of operations only, expected to have a continuing impact on combined results of operations. The adjustments included in these unaudited pro forma financial statements are preliminary and may be revised.

The assumptions used and adjustments made in preparing the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of financial condition and statements of operations are described in the notes herein, and should be read in conjunction with the





historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes and Management's discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, and in the Company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017 as well as PeopleDoc's historical audited financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2017, included as Exhibit 99.1 in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K/A dated October 10, 2018.

The Ultimate Software Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Combined Financial Statements


1.
Basis of pro forma presentation

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and explanatory notes were prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements as of June 30, 2018, for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and for the year ended December 31, 2017, respectively, combine the historical condensed combined balance sheet and statements of operations of Ultimate with the historical condensed combined balance sheet and statements of operations of PeopleDoc. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2018 is presented as if the acquisition of PeopleDoc had occurred on that date. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operation for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 is presented as if the acquisition of PeopleDoc had occurred on January 1, 2017, the first day of the Company's 2017 fiscal year.

Ultimate's historical financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and presented in USD. PeopleDoc's historical financial statements were prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB and presented in EUR. As discussed in Note 2, the historical PeopleDoc's financial statements have been converted to USD, and certain reclassifications were made to align PeopleDoc's financial statement presentation with that of Ultimate based on a preliminary analysis. This exercise and resulting adjustments were based on a preliminary analysis and are subject to change pending a final review.

Refer to the table below for the exchange rates applied to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. PeopleDoc's historical financial statements and reclassification adjustments were translated from EUR to USD using the period-end rate for the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2018 and a historical average rate during the periods presented for the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations.

PeopleDoc reclassification adjustments

PeopleDoc's historical financial statements were prepared in accordance with IFRS. During the preparation of this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, management performed a preliminary analysis of PeopleDoc's financial information to identify differences between IFRS and U.S. GAAP, differences in accounting policies compared to those of Ultimate, and differences in financial statement presentation compared to the presentation of Ultimate. Our assessment is ongoing and, at the time of preparing the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, other than the adjustments made herein, we are not aware of any other material differences. Management conducted a review of PeopleDoc’s financial information to determine if additional differences exist between IFRS and U.S. GAAP or if additional differences in accounting policies require adjustment to or reclassification of PeopleDoc’s results to conform to Ultimate’s accounting policies and classifications as required by acquisition accounting rules and concluded there were no material differences between IFRS and U.S. GAAP that required adjustment on this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.
    
Refer to the table below for a summary of reclassification adjustments made to present PeopleDoc’s balance sheet as of June 30, 2018 to conform with that of Ultimate (in thousands of USD):

Preliminary purchase price allocation

On July 26, 2018, Ultimate Software and PeopleDoc entered into the Share Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) and on July 27, 2018, the Parties consummated the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (the "Closing"), and Ultimate Software acquired PeopleDoc (the "Transaction"). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired all of the capital stock of PeopleDoc for aggregate consideration valued at approximately $300 million, subject to customary closing and post-closing adjustments. The aggregate consideration delivered by Ultimate Software at the Closing or





to be delivered at future dates consisted of a combination of cash of approximately $125 million and shares of Ultimate Software’s common stock valued at approximately $175 million. Approximately $75 million of cash was paid at the Closing and is subject to customary working capital and other post-closing adjustments. At the Closing, 560,150 shares of Ultimate Software common stock were delivered to certain sellers. On the first anniversary of the closing date, $50 million of cash will be paid to certain sellers, subject to set-off obligations for purchase price adjustments and indemnification claims. In addition, on the closing date, one of the founders of PeopleDoc received a restricted stock award of 43,522 shares of Ultimate Software’s common stock.

The preliminary purchase price allocation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of PeopleDoc includes various assumptions, based on management's best estimates of fair value. The final purchase price allocation may vary based on final valuations and analyses of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities.     

Refer to the table below for the preliminary calculation of consideration to be transferred under the Transaction (in thousands of USD):

(a) Initial cash consideration paid to PeopleDoc shareholders per the Purchase Agreement at the closing of the Transaction.
(b) Deferred cash consideration to be paid on the first anniversary of the closing date of the Transaction. This amount is reflected as an adjustment to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheets as of June 30, 2018.
(c) Share consideration paid to PeopleDoc shareholders per the Purchase Agreement at the time of closing the Transaction. Share consideration paid to PeopleDoc shareholders consists of 595,445 shares at a purchase closing stock price of $273.87 in addition to a restricted stock award with an intrinsic value of $4.5 million at the acquisition date.
(d) Reflects a marketability adjustment to the deferred stock consideration.
    
Under ASC 805, generally all assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their acquisition date fair value. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information includes various assumptions, including those related to the preliminary purchase price allocation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of PeopleDoc based on management's best estimates of fair value. The final purchase price allocation may vary based on final valuations and analyses of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. Accordingly, the pro forma adjustments are preliminary and have been made solely for illustrative purposes.

The following table shows the preliminary allocation of the purchase price for PeopleDoc to the acquired identifiable assets, assumed liabilities and pro forma goodwill (in thousands of USD):
