Summary
Automatic Data Processing Inc. (ADP) filed an 8-K report on April 17, 2003, to disclose its financial results for the third fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2003. The primary purpose of this filing was to furnish a press release detailing these results, in compliance with Regulation FD.

The attached press release, incorporated as Exhibit 99.1, contains the core financial information that investors would look to for an update on the company's operational and financial standing.
