  • Research and development expense increased for the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to cloud consumption costs, net of capitalization.

  • Effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023 were 23.7% and 23.2%, respectively. Effective tax rates for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023 were 23.6% and 23.3%, respectively.

According to Mimi Carsley, CFO and Treasurer, "For the third quarter of the fiscal year, our private cloud and processing services continued to drive strong revenue growth. We had strong, organic revenue growth of over 7% on a non-GAAP basis and non-GAAP operating income grew over 8%.  These results reflect the Jack Henry team's disciplined approach to cost control."

5 Operating margin is calculated by dividing operating income by revenue. Operating margin plus operating expense components as a percentage of total revenue may not equal 100% due to rounding.
6 On August 31, 2022, the Company acquired all the equity interest in Payrailz.
7 The VEDIP program was a Company voluntary separation program offered to certain eligible employees beginning in July 2023.

Impact of Non-GAAP Adjustments

The tables below show our revenue, operating income, and net income (in thousands) for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, excluding the impacts of deconversions, acquisitions, the VEDIP program expense,** and the gain on sale of assets, net.

On August 31, 2022, the Company acquired all the equity interest in Payrailz (the "acquisition"). Payrailz related revenue, operating expenses, operating income, and net income excluded in the tables below in the column for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, include Payrailz activity for the first two months of the fiscal year only.

*GAAP revenue is comprised of services and support and processing revenues (see page 2). Reducing services and support revenue by deconversion revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, which was $843 for the current fiscal year quarter and $6,143 for the prior fiscal year quarter, results in non-GAAP adjusted services and support revenue growth of 6.4% quarter over quarter. There were no non-GAAP adjustments to processing revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023.

Reducing services and support revenue by deconversion revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, which was $9,861 for the current fiscal year-to-date period and $17,042 for the prior fiscal year-to-date period, and by $2 of revenue from acquisition in the current fiscal year-to-date period, results in non-GAAP adjusted services and support revenue growth of 7.2% period over period. Reducing processing revenue by revenue from acquisition for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, which was $1,943, results in non-GAAP adjusted processing revenue growth of 8.5% year-to-date period over year-to-date period.

**The VEDIP program expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, was related to a Company voluntary separation program offered to certain eligible employees beginning in July 2023.

***Non-GAAP adjusted operating margin is calculated by dividing non-GAAP adjusted operating income by non-GAAP adjusted revenue.

*The VEDIP program expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, was related to a Company voluntary separation program offered to certain eligible employees beginning in July 2023.

**The tax impact of adjustments is calculated using a tax rate of 24% for the three and nine month periods of fiscal 2024 and for the three and nine month periods of fiscal 2023. Our tax rate for non-GAAP adjustment items takes a broad look at our recurring tax adjustments and applies them to non-GAAP revenue that does not have its own specific tax impacts.

The tables below show the segment break-out of revenue and cost of revenue for each period presented, as adjusted for the items above, and include a reconciliation to non-GAAP adjusted operating income presented above.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) is the term used to refer to the standard framework of guidelines for financial accounting in the United States. GAAP includes the standards, conventions, and rules accountants follow in recording and summarizing transactions in the preparation of financial statements. In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with GAAP, we have provided certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted revenue, adjusted operating income, adjusted segment income, adjusted cost of revenue, adjusted operating expenses, adjusted operating margin, adjusted segment income margin, non-GAAP earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (non-GAAP EBITDA), free cash flow, return on invested capital (ROIC), and non-GAAP adjusted net income.

We believe non-GAAP financial measures help investors better understand the underlying fundamentals and true operations of our business. Adjusted revenue, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted segment income, adjusted segment income margin, adjusted cost of revenue, adjusted operating expenses, and adjusted net income eliminate one-time deconversion revenue and associated costs, the effects of acquisitions and divestitures, the VEDIP program expense, and the gain on sale of assets, net, all of which management believes are not indicative of the Company's operating performance. Such adjustments give investors further insight into our performance. Non-GAAP EBITDA is defined as net income attributable to the Company before the effect of interest expense, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, adjusted for net income before the effect of interest expense, taxes, depreciation, and amortization attributable to eliminated one-time deconversions, acquisitions and divestitures, the VEDIP program expense, and the gain on sale of assets, net. Free cash flow is defined as net cash from operating activities, less capitalized expenditures, internal use software, and capitalized software, plus proceeds from the sale of assets. ROIC is defined as net income divided by average invested capital, which is the average of beginning and ending long-term debt and stockholders' equity for a given period. Management believes that non-GAAP EBITDA is an important measure of the Company's overall operating performance and excludes certain costs and other transactions that management deems one time or non-operational in nature; free cash flow is useful to measure the funds generated in a given period that are available for debt service requirements and strategic capital decisions; and ROIC is a measure of the Company's allocation efficiency and effectiveness of its invested capital. For these reasons, management also uses these non-GAAP financial measures in its assessment and management of the Company's performance.

Non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore, are unlikely to be comparable with calculations of similar measures for other companies.

Any non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in context with the GAAP financial presentation and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP measures. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to related GAAP measures are included.
