Operating Results

Revenue, operating expenses, operating income, and net income for the fiscal three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the fiscal three months ended September 30, 2024, were as follows:

Revenue
(Unaudited, dollars in thousands)	Three Months Ended September 30,		% Change
	2025	2024
Revenue
Services and Support	$ 376,851	$ 356,679	5.7 %

Percentage of Total Revenue	41.5 %	40.7 %
REVENUE	$ 644,738	$ 600,982	7.3 %

Services and support revenue increased for the fiscal three months ended September 30, 2025, primarily driven by growth in data processing and hosting revenue within cloud of 8.0%, higher user group revenue by $5,481 due to the timing of our Connect conference, and higher deconversion revenue by $4,929. Processing revenue increased for the fiscal three months ended September 30, 2025, primarily driven by growth in card revenue of 9.0%, higher transaction and digital revenue of 13.9%, and an increase in payment processing revenues primarily related to PayCenter of 12.1%.
For the fiscal three months ended September 30, 2025, core segment revenue increased 0.5%, payments segment revenue increased 9.0%, complementary segment revenue increased 10.2%, and corporate and other segment revenue increased 31.6%. For the fiscal three months ended September 30, 2025, core segment non-GAAP adjusted revenue increased 6.3%, payments segment non-GAAP adjusted revenue increased 8.3%, complementary segment non-GAAP adjusted revenue increased 9.4%, and corporate and other non-GAAP adjusted segment revenue increased 31.5%. Total non-GAAP adjusted revenue increased 8.7%. Excluding the impact of the user group revenues related to the timing of our Connect conference, non-GAAP adjusted revenue growth was 7.8% (see revenue lines of segment break-out tables on pages 5 and 6 below for a reconciliation of GAAP segment revenue to non-GAAP adjusted segment revenue).

Operating Expenses and Operating Income
(Unaudited, dollars in thousands)	Three Months Ended September 30,		% Change
	2025	2024
Cost of Revenue	$ 348,566	$ 343,432	1.5 %
Percentage of Total Revenue⁶	54.1 %	57.1 %
Research and Development	39,278	39,686	(1.0) %

OPERATING INCOME	$ 184,065	$ 151,276	21.7 %
Operating Margin⁶	28.5 %	25.2 %

Cost of revenue increased for the fiscal three months ended September 30, 2025, primarily due to higher direct costs generally consistent with increases in related lines of revenue, excluding cost of customer maintenance, slightly higher personnel costs, and increased amortization of intangible assets, partially offset by the decrease in cost of customer maintenance due to a contractual change (see FAQ for Analysts/Investors section on page 13), quarter over quarter.
Research and development expense slightly decreased for the fiscal three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the fiscal three months ended September 30, 2024.
Selling, general, and administrative expense increased for the fiscal three months ended September 30, 2025, primarily due to higher expenses related to the timing of our Connect conference and increased professional services, partially offset by the higher gain on sale of assets in the current fiscal year quarter.

Net Income

(Unaudited, in thousands, except per share data)	Three Months Ended September 30,		% Change
	2025	2024
Income Before Income Taxes	$ 190,318	$ 156,798	21.4 %
Provision for Income Taxes	46,332	37,607	23.2 %
NET INCOME	$ 143,986	$ 119,191	20.8 %
Diluted earnings per share	$ 1.97	$ 1.63	21.1 %

Effective tax rates for the fiscal three months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, were 24.3% and 24.0%, respectively.

According to Mimi Carsley, CFO and Treasurer, "The resiliency of our business model showed in our first quarter results. Strong growth in key areas of our non-GAAP revenue, resulting in significant leverage to non-GAAP operating income and free cash flow. This cash flow was partially utilized for $100 million in share repurchases for the first quarter and the month of October."

⁶Operating 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.

*GAAP revenue is comprised of services and support and processing revenues (see page 2). Services and support revenue less deconversion revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024 which was $8,626 for the current fiscal year quarter and $3,697 for the prior fiscal year quarter, and reducing the three months ended September 30, 2024, for revenue related to a contract change of $12,248, results in non-GAAP adjusted services and support revenue growth of 8.1% quarter over quarter. There were no non-GAAP adjustments to processing revenue for the fiscal three months ended September 30, 2025, or 2024.

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

***The tax impact of adjustments is calculated using a tax rate of 24% for the fiscal three months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024. The tax rate for non-GAAP adjustment items takes a broad look at the Company's 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 segment revenue, adjusted operating income, adjusted segment income, adjusted cost of revenue, adjusted segment 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, net operating profit after tax return on invested capital (NOPAT 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 segment revenue, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted segment income, adjusted segment income margin, adjusted cost of revenue, adjusted segment cost of revenue, adjusted operating expenses, and adjusted net income eliminate one-time deconversion revenue and associated costs and the gain on sale of assets, net, and a contractual change, 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, the gain on sale of assets, net, and a contractual change. 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. NOPAT ROIC is defined as operating income for the trailing four quarters multiplied by one minus the average effective tax rate (ETR) for the trailing four quarters, with the result divided by average invested capital (average of the beginning and ending period balances). 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 NOPAT 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.

FAQ for Analysts / Investors

1.) Why does fiscal 2025 non-GAAP revenue used for growth calculation not match reported fiscal 2025 non-GAAP revenue?

The restructuring of a third-party agreement has resulted in a $16 million fiscal year-over-year revenue headwind, with $12 million of that coming in the first quarter.
The remaining $4 million will impact the rest of the fiscal year.
This restructuring has also resulted in a decrease in the related costs and the impact on margins is expected to be minimal.
This has been adjusted for a consistent fiscal year-over-year comparison and is included in our fiscal year 2026 guidance (see page 7).

2.) What is the impact of recent federal tax legislation on free cash flow?

Full expensing of research and development costs (IRC 174) and 100% "bonus" tax depreciation will have a meaningful favorable impact on free cash flow.
We plan to elect to deduct the remaining unamortized IRC 174 capitalized costs in fiscal year 2026 generating a significant non-recurring cash tax benefit in the current fiscal year.
Overall, we anticipate this legislation will allow Jack Henry to produce free cash flow conversion consistent with historical levels of approximately 85% to 100% in future years.
