If ADP's Employer Services growth rises to ~7%+ and margins to 35% or greater, ADP would earn ~$10 of EPS by FY2022, more than double current earnings.

This is a conditional prediction judged at the end of ADP's fiscal 2022 (30 June 2022). Check two things: (a) whether the stated conditions held, meaning Employer Services revenue growth of about 7% or more and Employer Services segment margins of 35% or more in FY2022; and (b) ADP's FY2022 adjusted diluted EPS as reported, compared with about $10 and with more than double the FY2018 base (the 'current earnings' when the claim was made). TRUE: both conditions held, and FY2022 adjusted diluted EPS was about $10 (roughly $9.50–$10.50) and more than double FY2018 EPS. MOSTLY TRUE: the conditions held and EPS was slightly short of 'about $10' (roughly $9.00–$9.49) but still more than double FY2018. MIXED: only one of the two conditions held and EPS landed in proportion, between the status-quo path and $10. MOSTLY FALSE: the conditions held (or nearly held) but EPS was well short of $10 (below about $9) or did not double. FALSE: the conditions held and EPS was far below $10, showing the improvements did not produce the predicted earnings. If neither condition was met, the antecedent did not happen and the conditional cannot be confirmed. In that case judges should record the conditions' failure and the actual EPS, and rate the claim at most MIXED (unresolvable as a conditional), not TRUE. An actual EPS near $10 reached by other means does not make it true.

   “Adjusted diluted earnings per share increased to $4.35, representing growth of 18%”

The evidence shows FY2022 adjusted diluted EPS of $7.01 (E1), below ~$10 and less than double the FY2018 base of $4.35 (E4), and Employer Services margins below 35% (E3). However, it does not show which E2 column gives full-year FY2022 revenue growth, nor any status-quo EPS path, so the evidence cannot establish that exactly one condition held with EPS landing in proportion, which the criteria require for a mixed rating.
