Research and development expense increased for the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to cloud consumption costs, net of capitalization. Research and development expense increased for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to higher personnel costs (net of capitalized personnel costs) related to the Payrailz, LLC ("Payrailz") acquisition⁶ and Jack Henry Platform.
Selling, general, and administrative expense increased for the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to higher personnel costs from increased commissions and medical benefits expenses. Selling, general, and administrative expense increased for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to higher personnel costs from the voluntary employee departure incentive payment (VEDIP) program⁷ and a decrease in the gain on sale of assets, net, period over period.

*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 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.

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.
