Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2024.

OVERVIEW

Jack Henry & Associates, Inc. is a well-rounded financial technology company and is a leading provider of technology solutions and payment processing services primarily to community and regional financial institutions. Our solutions consist of integrated data processing systems solutions to U.S. banks ranging from de novo to multi-billion-dollar institutions with assets up to $50 billion, core data processing solutions for credit unions of all sizes, and non-core highly specialized core-agnostic products and services that enable financial institutions of every asset size and charter, and diverse corporate entities outside the financial services industry, to mitigate and control risks, optimize revenue and growth opportunities, and contain costs. Our integrated solutions are available for on-premise installation and delivery in our private and public cloud.

Our two primary revenue streams are “services and support” and “processing.” Services and support includes: “private and public cloud” revenue, which predominantly includes contracts with terms of seven years or longer at inception; “product delivery and services” revenue, which includes revenue from the sales of licenses, implementation services, deconversions, consulting, and hardware; and “on-premise support” revenue, composed of maintenance contracts primarily with annual terms. Processing revenue includes: "remittance” revenue from payment processing, remote capture, and ACH transactions; “card” revenue, including card transaction processing and monthly fees; and “transaction and digital” revenue, which includes transaction and mobile processing. We continually seek opportunities to increase revenue while at the same time containing costs to expand margins.

All amounts in the following discussion are in thousands, except per share amounts.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the third quarter of fiscal 2024, total revenue increased 5.9%, or $30,010, compared to the same quarter in fiscal 2023. Total revenue less deconversion revenue of $843 for the current fiscal quarter and less deconversion revenues of $6,143 for the prior fiscal year third quarter results in an increase of 7.0%, quarter over quarter. This increase was primarily driven by growth in data processing and hosting, Jack Henry digital, including Banno, card, and payment processing revenues.

Operating expenses increased 6.6%, or $26,301, for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2023. Deconversion and/or acquisition costs did not significantly affect operating expenses quarter over quarter. The increase was primarily driven by higher personnel costs, higher direct costs, and increased internal licenses and fees.

Operating income increased 3.4%, or $3,709, for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2023. Removing from total operating income the effects of deconversion operating loss of $6 for the current fiscal quarter* and deconversion operating income of $5,130 for the prior fiscal year third quarter results in an increase of 8.6%, quarter over quarter. This increase was primarily driven by revenue growth partially offset by increased operating expenses detailed above.

The provision for income taxes increased 10.2%, or $2,500, for the third quarter of fiscal 2024, compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2023, primarily driven by the increase in income before income taxes. The effective tax rate for the current fiscal third quarter was 23.7% compared to 23.2% for the same quarter a year ago. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to certain discrete period benefits recognized during the prior fiscal quarter.

Net income increased 6.8%, or $5,550, for the third quarter of fiscal 2024, compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2023. Removing from total net income the effects of deconversion net loss of $5 for the current fiscal quarter,* and deconversion net income of $3,899 for the prior fiscal year third quarter, results in a 12.2% increase quarter over quarter. This increase was primarily due to net organic growth in our lines of revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to the same quarter last fiscal year.

*A customer who signed a deconversion agreement in an earlier period signed a reversal of that agreement during the third quarter of fiscal 2024 deciding not to deconvert resulting in the reversal of previously recognized deconversion revenue.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2024, total revenue increased 7.3%, or $112,562, compared to the same period in fiscal year 2023. Total revenue less deconversion and acquisition revenues of $9,861 and $1,945, respectively, for the current fiscal period and less deconversion revenues of $17,042 for the prior fiscal period, results in an increase of 7.7%, period over period. This increase was primarily driven by growth in data processing and hosting, card, Jack Henry digital, payment processing and other processing revenues.

Operating expenses increased 8.9%, or $105,287, for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period in fiscal year 2023. Total operating expenses less deconversion expenses of $2,309, acquisition-related expenses of $4,182, and voluntary employee departure incentive payment ("VEDIP") program expenses of $16,443 for the current fiscal period, and less deconversion expenses of $2,583 and removing the effects of the gain on sale of assets, net, of $7,384 for the prior fiscal year period, results in an increase of 6.5%, period over period. This increase was primarily driven by higher personnel costs, increased direct costs, and higher internal licenses and fees compared to the prior fiscal year period.

Operating income increased 2.0%, or $7,275, for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period in fiscal year 2023. Total operating income less deconversion operating income of $7,552, removing the effects of the VEDIP program of $16,443 and an acquisition operating loss of $2,237 for the current fiscal year period, less deconversion operating income of $14,459 and removing the effects of the gain on sale of assets, net, of $7,384 for the prior fiscal year period, results in a 12.0% increase period over period. This increase was primarily driven by revenue growth partially offset by increased operating expenses detailed above.

The provision for income taxes increased 6.3%, or $5,141, for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period in fiscal year 2023, primarily driven by the increase in income before income taxes. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, was 23.6% compared to 23.3% for the same period a year ago. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the difference in impact of share-based compensation that vested during the comparative periods.

Net income increased 4.4%, or $11,870, for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period a year ago. Total net income less deconversion net income of $5,739, plus net loss for the acquisition and the VEDIP program of $3,539 and $12,497, respectively, for the current fiscal year period, and less net income for deconversions and the gain on sale of assets, net, of $10,989 and $5,612, respectively, for the prior fiscal year period, results in a 15.4% increase period over period. This increase was primarily due to net organic growth in our lines of revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period last fiscal year.

We move into the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 with significant portions of our business continuing to come from recurring revenues and our sales pipeline remaining encouraging. Our customers continue to face regulatory and operational challenges which our products and services address, and we believe they have a great need for our solutions that directly address institutional profitability, efficiency, and security. Our strong balance sheet, access to extensive lines of credit, the continued strength of our existing lines of revenue, and an unwavering commitment to superior customer service should position us well to address current and future opportunities.

A detailed discussion of the major components of the results of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024, follows. On August 31, 2022, the Company acquired all of the equity interest in Payrailz, LLC (“Payrailz”). Payrailz (“acquisition”) related revenue and operating expenses mentioned in the nine months ended March 31, 2024, discussions below are for the first two months of the period only.

Discussions compare the current fiscal year's three and nine months ended March 31, 2024, to the prior fiscal year's three and nine months ended March 31, 2023.

REVENUE

Services and Support			Three Months Ended March 31,												% Change						Nine Months Ended March 31,												% Change
			2024						2023												2024						2023
Services and Support			$	305,017					$	291,922					4.5		%				$	959,214					$	902,771					6.3		%
Percentage of total revenue			57		%				57		%										58		%				59		%

Services and support revenue increased 4.5% for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to the same quarter a year ago. Reducing services and support revenue for deconversion revenue from each quarter, which was $843 for the current fiscal year quarter and $6,143 for the prior fiscal year quarter, results in growth of 6.4% quarter over quarter. This increase was primarily driven by double-digit growth in data processing and hosting revenues as new and existing customers migrate to our private cloud and processing volumes expand.

Services and support revenue increased 6.3% for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the same period a year ago. Reducing services and support revenue for deconversion revenue from each period, which was $9,861 for the current fiscal year period and $17,042 for the prior fiscal year period, and acquisition revenue of $2 for the current fiscal year period, results in growth of 7.2% period over period. This increase was primarily driven by double-digit growth in data processing and hosting as new and existing customers migrate to our private cloud and processing volumes expand, software usage as customers continue moving to time-based licenses rather than perpetual, hardware, and consulting revenues.

Processing			Three Months Ended March 31,												% Change						Nine Months Ended March 31,												% Change
			2024						2023												2024						2023

Percentage of total revenue			43		%				43		%										42		%				41		%

Processing revenue increased 7.8% for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to the same quarter last fiscal year. Deconversion and/or acquisition revenue did not significantly affect processing revenue quarter over quarter. This increase was primarily driven by growth in Jack Henry digital revenue (including Banno) from higher active users and expanding volumes from existing products and the introduction of new products, growth in card revenue primarily from organic growth from expanding volumes, higher payment processing revenues from expanding volumes and new customer revenue, and increased other processing revenues.

Processing revenue increased 8.8% for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period last fiscal year. Reducing processing revenue for acquisition revenue of $1,943 for the current fiscal year period, results in growth of 8.5% period over period.

Reducing cost of revenue for deconversion costs from each quarter, which were $671 for the current fiscal year quarter and $470 for the prior fiscal year quarter, results in a 6.7% increase quarter over quarter. This increase was primarily due to higher direct costs, generally consistent with increases in the related revenue, higher personnel costs due to an increase in employee headcount in the trailing twelve months and increased bonus attainment quarter over quarter, and increased internal licenses and fees from increased pricing and deployment. Cost of revenue increased 1% compared to the prior fiscal year quarter as a percentage of total revenue.

REPORTABLE SEGMENT DISCUSSION

The Company is a well-rounded financial technology company and is a leading provider of technology solutions and payment processing services primarily to community and regional financial institutions.

The Company’s operations are classified into four reportable segments: Core, Payments, Complementary, and Corporate and Other. The Core segment provides core information processing platforms to banks and credit unions, which consist of integrated applications required to process deposit, loan, and general ledger transactions, and maintain centralized customer/member information. The Payments segment provides secure payment processing tools and services, including ATM, debit, and credit card processing services; online and mobile bill pay solutions; ACH origination and remote deposit capture processing; and risk management products and services. The Complementary segment provides additional software, hosted processing platforms, and services, including digital/mobile banking, treasury services, online account opening, fraud/AML and lending/deposit solutions, that can be integrated with our core solutions, and many can be used independently. The Corporate and Other segment includes revenue and costs from hardware and other products not attributed to the other three segments, as well as operating expenses not directly attributable to the other three segments, except for items that are deemed unassigned and excluded from any segment.

Immaterial adjustments have been made between segments to reclassify revenue and cost of revenue that was recognized for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023. These reclasses were made to be consistent with the current allocation of revenue and cost of revenue by segment. Revenue reclassed for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, from Core to Corporate and Other was $1,797 and $5,456, respectively, from Payments to Corporate and Other was $7 and $24, respectively, and from Complementary to Corporate and Other was $135 and $243, respectively. Cost of revenue reclassed for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, from Core to Corporate and Other was $1,711 and $5,004, respectively, from Payments to Corporate and Other was $662 and $1,923, respectively, and from Complementary to Corporate and Other was $329 and $989, respectively.

Core			Three Months Ended March 31,												% Change						Nine Months Ended March 31,												% Change
			2024						2023												2024						2023
Revenue			$	166,655					$	155,106					7.4		%				$	518,696					$	481,961					7.6		%
Cost of Revenue			$	72,153					$	69,994					3.1		%				$	217,449					$	207,265					4.9		%

Revenue in the Core segment increased 7.4% and cost of revenue increased 3.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. Reducing Core revenue for deconversion revenue in both quarters, which totaled $1,291 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and $2,315 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, results in an 8.2% increase quarter over quarter. This increase was primarily driven by growth in data processing and hosting revenues as new and existing customers migrate to our private cloud and processing volumes expand. Deconversion and/or acquisition costs did not significantly affect Core cost of revenue quarter over quarter. The Core cost of revenue increase was primarily due to higher direct costs generally consistent with increases in revenue. Core cost of revenue decreased 2% as a percentage of Core revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to the same quarter in fiscal 2023.

Revenue in the Core segment increased 7.6% and cost of revenue increased 4.9% for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2023. Reducing Core revenue for deconversion revenue in both periods, which totaled $4,885 for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, and $6,248 for the nine months ended March 31, 2023, results in a 8.0% increase period over period. This increase was primarily driven by the growth in data processing and hosting revenues as new and existing customers migrate to our private cloud and processing volumes expand. Deconversion and/or acquisition costs did not significantly affect Core cost of revenue period over period. The Core cost of revenue increase was primarily due to higher direct costs generally consistent with increases in revenue. Core cost of revenue decreased 1% as a percentage of Core revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period in fiscal 2023.

Payments			Three Months Ended March 31,												% Change						Nine Months Ended March 31,												% Change
			2024						2023												2024						2023
Revenue			$	201,919					$	191,833					5.3		%				$	605,115					$	569,843					6.2		%
Cost of Revenue			$	109,848					$	106,216					3.4		%				$	330,297					$	314,181					5.1		%

Revenue in the Payments segment increased 5.3% and cost of revenue increased 3.4% for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to the equivalent quarter of the prior fiscal year. Reducing Payments revenue for deconversion revenue in both quarters, which totaled $910 for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 and $1,643 for the third quarter of fiscal 2023, results in a 5.7% increase quarter over quarter. This increase was primarily due to higher card revenue from organic growth from slightly higher volumes, higher payment processing revenues from slightly higher volumes and new customer revenue, and increased remote capture and ACH revenue. Deconversion and/or acquisition costs did not significantly affect Payments cost of revenue quarter over quarter. The Payments cost of revenue increase was primarily due to higher direct costs generally consistent with increases in revenue. Payments cost of revenue as a percentage of Payments revenue decreased 1% for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to the same quarter in fiscal 2023.

Revenue in the Payments segment increased 6.2% and cost of revenue increased 5.1% for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the equivalent period of the prior fiscal year. Reducing Payments revenue for deconversion revenue in both periods, which totaled $3,470 for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and $4,413 for the nine months ended March 31, 2023, and acquisition revenue of $1,945 from the current fiscal year period, results in a 6.1% increase period over period. This increase was primarily due to higher card revenue from organic growth from expanding volumes, higher payment processing revenue from expanding volumes and new customer revenue, and increased remote capture and ACH revenue. Deconversion and/or acquisition costs did not significantly affect Payments cost of revenue period over period. The Payments cost of revenue increase was primarily due to higher direct costs generally consistent with increases in revenues and higher personnel costs from an increase in employee headcount in the trailing twelve months. Payments cost of revenue as a percentage of Payments revenue remained consistent for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period in fiscal 2023.

Complementary			Three Months Ended March 31,												% Change						Nine Months Ended March 31,												% Change
			2024						2023												2024						2023
Revenue			$	149,231					$	141,987					5.1		%				$	463,064					$	432,526					7.1		%
Cost of Revenue			$	65,414					$	61,037					7.2		%				$	191,712					$	178,085					7.7		%

Revenue in the Complementary segment increased 5.1% and cost of revenue increased 7.2% for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to the equivalent quarter of the prior fiscal year. Increasing Complementary revenue for the reversal of deconversion revenue in the current fiscal year quarter of $1,366 (see note in Results of Operations and Revenue on page 22), and decreasing Complementary revenue for deconversion revenue of $2,170 for the third quarter of fiscal 2023, results in a 7.7% increase quarter over quarter. This increase was primarily driven by higher Jack Henry digital revenue as active users increased and volumes expanded from existing products and new products were introduced, and hosting revenues as new and existing customers continued to migrate to our private cloud and processing volumes expanded. Reducing Complementary cost of revenue for deconversion costs in both quarters, which totaled $348 for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 and $166 for the third quarter of fiscal 2023, results in a 6.9% increase quarter over quarter. This increase was primarily due to higher direct costs generally consistent with increases in revenues and increased amortization of capitalized software from capital software development projects. Complementary cost of revenue as a percentage of Complementary revenue increased 1% for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to the same quarter in fiscal 2023.

Revenue in the Complementary segment increased 7.1% and cost of revenue increased 7.7% for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the equivalent period of the prior fiscal year. Reducing Complementary revenue for deconversion revenue in both periods, which totaled $1,440 for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, and $6,319 for the nine months ended March 31, 2023, results in an 8.3% increase period over period. This increase was primarily driven by higher Jack Henry digital revenue as active users increased and volumes expanded from existing products and new products were introduced, and hosting revenues, as new and existing customers continued to migrate to our private cloud and processing volumes expanded. Reducing Complementary cost of revenue for deconversion costs in both periods, which totaled $715 for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, and $538 for the nine months ended March 31, 2023, results in a 7.6% increase period over period.
