Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures 1. Includes costs associated with forming i3 Verticals, Inc. and other expenses directly related to the certain transactions as part of any offering. 2. Non-cash change in fair value of contingent consideration reflects the changes in management’s estimates of future cash consideration to be paid in connection with prior acquisitions from the amount estimated as of the later of the most recent balance sheet date forming the beginning of the income statement period or the original estimates made at the closing of the applicable acquisition. 3. Non-cash change in warrant liability reflects the fair value change in certain warrants for our common units associated with our mezzanine notes in the aggregate principal amount of $10.5 million. These warrants are accounted for as liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. 4. Equity-based compensation expense recognized during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2018 consisted of $76 related to stock options issued under the Company's 2018 Equity Incentive Plan and $741 related to tax receivables agreement (TRA) non- participation compensatory shares. TRA non-participation compensatory shares were issued to former equity owners as part of the Reorganization Transactions in conjunction with the IPO. 5. Acquisition-related expenses are the professional service and related costs directly related to our acquisitions and are not part of our core performance. 6.

Non-cash interest expense reflects amortization of amortization of deferred financing costs. 8. Other taxes consist of franchise taxes, commercial activity taxes and other non-income based taxes. Taxes related to salaries or employment are not included. 9. Pro forma corporate income tax expense is based on Non-GAAP adjusted income before taxes and is calculated using tax rates of 25.5% for 2018 and 2017, based on blended federal and state tax rates, considering the Tax Reform Act for 2018. 10. Pro forma adjusted net income assumes that the effect of the Reorganization Transactions and the Company's IPO occurred prior to the three and nine months ending June 30, 2018, and that all net income during that period is available to the Class A common shareholders. Further, pro forma adjusted diluted earnings per share assumes that all Common Units in i3 Verticals, LLC and the associated non-voting Class B common stock were exchanged for Class A common stock at the beginning of the period on a one for one basis. 11. Cash interest expense, net represents all interest expense recorded on statement of operations other than non-cash interest expense, which represents amortization of deferred financing costs. 12.
