| 1. | As a result of the anticipated sale of i3 Verticals' merchant services business pursuant to the terms of the securities purchase agreement dated as of June 26, 2024, entered into by the Company with Payroc, the historical results of i3 Verticals' merchant services business have been reflected in discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of operations included in this earnings release, and continuing operations reflect the Company's remaining operations after giving effect to such classification. Prior period results have been recast to reflect this presentation. |
| 2. | Represents a non-GAAP financial measure. For additional information (including reconciliation information), see the attached schedules to this release. |
| 3. | Annualized Recurring Revenue (ARR) is the annualized revenue derived from software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) arrangements, transaction-based software-revenue, software maintenance, recurring software-based services, payments revenue and other recurring revenue sources within the quarter. This excludes contracts that are not recurring or are one-time in nature. The Company focuses on ARR because it helps i3 Verticals to assess the health and trajectory of the business. ARR does not have a standardized definition and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. It should be reviewed independently of revenue, and it is not a forecast. Additionally, ARR does not take into account seasonality. The active contracts at the end of a reporting period used in calculating ARR may or may not be extended or renewed by i3 Verticals' customers. |
Greg Daily, Chairman and CEO of i3 Verticals, commented, "At the end of June, we announced the definitive agreement for the sale of our Merchant Services Business. Following the closing, we will be a pure vertical market software business focused entirely on the Public Sector, Education and Healthcare markets. I am confident the remaining business has a very bright future. ARR grew 4% this quarter. We have a deep pipeline and still expect to grow revenue in the high-single digits in our fiscal 2025. While margins will initially take a step back after the Merchant Services transaction, we expect them to steadily improve as revenue scales.
"One of the outcomes of the sale of the Merchant Services Business is that we plan to pay off all of our revolving credit facility. We are excited about this circumstance as it will set the table for additional vertical market software M&A. We continue to find businesses who want to be a part of what we are building.
"One such business was acquired by i3 this month. It is a permitting and licensing company that has one of the absolute best products in the market. This business is a great fit with our existing public sector products and is led by a talented team. We expect it to be a driver of revenue growth going forward.”
Definitive Agreement Regarding the Sale of i3 Verticals' Merchant Services Business
As previously announced, on June 26, 2024, i3 Verticals, Inc., i3 Verticals, LLC, and i3 Holdings Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of i3 Verticals, LLC, entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Payroc Buyer, LLC (“Payroc”) and Payroc WorldAccess LLC. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Payroc would purchase the equity interests of certain direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Acquired Entities”) of i3 Verticals, LLC and i3 Holdings Sub, Inc. comprising the Merchant Services segment as well as certain assets within the Company's Software and Services segment related to the Non-profit and Property Management vertical markets, including its associated proprietary technology (collectively, the "Merchant Services Business"). The purchase price payable by Payroc to the Company for the equity interests of the Acquired Entities would be $440 million (the “Purchase Price”), payable in cash upon the closing of the transactions under the Purchase Agreement (the "Transactions"), subject to adjustments for closing net working capital and other purchase price adjustments provided in the Purchase Agreement.
The closing of the Transactions is subject to certain closing conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement. We continue to expect the consummation of the Transactions to occur during the three months ending September 30, 2024.
Share Repurchase Program
The Company's Board of Directors has approved a new share repurchase program for the Company’s Class A common stock, under which the Company may repurchase up to $50 million of outstanding shares of Class A common stock. This share repurchase program will terminate on the earlier of August 8, 2025, or when the maximum dollar amount under the program has been expended. Pursuant to this authorization, repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise. In addition, any repurchases under the authorization will be subject to prevailing market conditions, liquidity and cash flow considerations, applicable securities laws requirements (including under Rule 10b-18 and Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as applicable), and other factors.
Taking into account restrictions under the Company’s credit agreement, the Company does not anticipate making any repurchases under this authorization until the closing of the transactions under the Purchase Agreement. This share repurchase program does not require the Company to acquire any amount of shares of Class A common stock, and may be extended, modified, suspended or discontinued at any time.
Outlook for Continuing Operations for Fiscal Year 2024 and Fiscal Year 2025
The Company's practice is to provide annual guidance, excluding the impact of acquisitions, dispositions and transaction-related costs. In connection with the anticipated sale of the Merchant Services Business pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement and the classification of the Merchant Services Business as discontinued operations as noted above, the Company has provided an outlook for continuing operations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2024, and for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2025. Further, in light of these developments, the Company is withdrawing the consolidated-level guidance previously provided in the Company's earnings release issued on May 10, 2024.
The Company is providing the following outlook for continuing operations:

With respect to the “Outlook for Continuing Operations for Fiscal Year 2024 and Fiscal Year 2025” above, reconciliations of adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations and pro forma adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations guidance to the closest corresponding GAAP measure on a forward-looking basis is not available without unreasonable efforts. This inability results from the inherent difficulty in forecasting generally and quantifying certain projected amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations. In particular, sufficient information is not available to calculate certain adjustments required for such reconciliations, including changes in the fair value of contingent consideration, income tax expense of i3 Verticals, Inc. and equity-based compensation expense. The Company expects these adjustments may have a potentially significant impact on future GAAP financial results.

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures presented by the Company provide useful information to investors in understanding and evaluating the Company's ongoing operating results. Accordingly, the Company includes such non-GAAP financial measures when reporting its financial results to shareholders and potential investors in order to provide them with an additional tool to evaluate the Company’s ongoing business operations. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are representative of comparative financial performance that reflects the economic substance of the Company's current and ongoing business operations.
Although these non-GAAP financial measures assist in measuring the Company's operating results and assessing its financial performance, they are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation. The Company believes that the disclosure of these non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with important key financial performance indicators that are utilized by management to assess the Company's operating results, evaluate the business and make operational decisions on a prospective, going-forward basis. Hence, management provides disclosure of these non-GAAP financial measures to give shareholders and potential investors an opportunity to see the Company as viewed by management, to assess the Company with some of the same tools that management utilizes internally and to be able to compare such information with prior periods. The Company believes that disclosure of these non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with additional information to help them better understand its financial statements just as management utilizes these non-GAAP financial measures to better understand the business, manage budgets and allocate resources.
