Key Points

Positve
  • Revenues for Q2 2024 increased by 1% to $94.5 million from $93.9 million in Q2 2023, reflecting organic growth from recurring sources.
  • Adjusted EBITDA increased by 4% to $25.8 million for Q2 2024 from $24.7 million for Q2 2023, with improvements in Merchant Services margin and lower corporate expenses.
  • Over 80% of i3 Verticals Inc's revenues in Q2 2024 came from recurring sources, demonstrating a strong and stable revenue base.
  • The company is exploring the sale of the merchant services business, which could significantly reduce debt and free up resources for growth in strategic verticals like public sector, education, and healthcare.
  • i3 Verticals Inc has made significant progress in internal realignment, positioning the company for sustainable growth and improved operational efficiency.
Negative
  • Nonrecurring sales of software licenses declined by over $2 million, reflecting the ongoing shift to SaaS and impacting immediate revenue.
  • Professional services revenues declined by $1.3 million due to delays in project implementations, notably the Manitoba driver's license project.
  • Pro forma adjusted diluted earnings per share decreased to $0.34 for Q2 2024 from $0.38 for Q2 2023, driven by higher interest expenses following the repurchase of exchangeable notes.
  • The company lowered its full-year guidance, reflecting delays and uncertainties in project timelines and revenue recognition.
  • Despite the strategic focus on recurring revenues, the transition has led to short-term revenue declines in nonrecurring high-margin areas, which could impact profitability if not managed effectively.
