Operating Results

Revenue, operating expenses, operating income, and net income for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021, were as follows (all dollar amounts in this section are in thousands, except for per share amounts):

•  Services and support revenue increased for first quarter fiscal 2023 primarily driven by growth in cloud processing revenue of 11%. Other drivers were increases in software usage, implementation fee, and user group revenues. Processing revenue increased for the first quarter fiscal 2023 primarily driven by growth in card processing revenue of 8%. Other drivers were increases in Jack Henry digital revenue and payment processing, including iPay.
•  For first quarter fiscal 2023, core segment revenue increased 6%, payments segment revenue increased 8%, complementary segment revenue increased 8%, and corporate and other segment revenue increased 55%. Non-GAAP adjusted core segment revenue increased 6%, non-GAAP adjusted payments segment revenue increased 7%, non-GAAP adjusted complementary segment revenue increased 8%, and non-GAAP adjusted corporate and other segment revenue increased 55% (see revenue lines of segment break-out tables on page 4 below).

Operating Expenses and Operating Income

•  Cost of revenue increased for first quarter fiscal 2023 primarily due to higher costs associated with our card processing third-party platform approximately in line with related increases in revenue, higher personnel costs, higher internal licenses and fees, and increased amortization of intangibles, partially offset by a decrease for labor cost deferrals.
•  Research and development expense increased for first quarter fiscal 2023 primarily due to higher personnel costs (net of capitalized personnel costs).
•  Selling, general, and administrative expense increased for the first quarter fiscal 2023 primarily due to higher travel expenses, increased personnel costs, higher consulting and other professional services, and an increase in meetings and trainings, partially offset by the increase in the gain on sale of assets.

⁵ Operating margin is calculated by dividing operating income by revenue.

Net Income

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 include 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, non-GAAP earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (non-GAAP EBITDA), free cash flow, and return on invested capital (ROIC).

We believe non-GAAP financial measures help investors better understand the underlying fundamentals and true operations of our business. The non-GAAP financial measures presented, adjusted revenue, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating income margin, adjusted segment income, adjusted cost of revenue, and adjusted operating expenses, eliminate one-time deconversion fees, acquisitions, divestitures, and gain/loss, 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 deconversion fees, acquisitions and divestitures, and gain/loss. 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.
