As previously announced the Company completed the acquisitions of Northeast Texas Data, LLC and Graves Humphries Stahl, LLC (collectively “NET Data”) on April 3, 2019, and Pace Payment Systems, Inc. on May 31, 2019, which are focused on the Public Sector and Education verticals. In addition, the Company acquired an unrelated business in the Education vertical during the third quarter.

1.Represents a non-GAAP financial measure. For additional information (including reconciliation information), see the attached schedules to this release.
2.Diluted net loss per share available to Class A common stock for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2018, are presented only for the period after the Company's Reorganization Transactions (as later defined).
3.Integrated payments represents payment transactions that are generated in situations where payment technology is embedded within the Company's own proprietary software, a client’s software or critical business process.

Greg Daily, Chairman and CEO of i3 Verticals, commented, “We are pleased with our third quarter performance and accomplishments. During the quarter, we closed four acquisitions, expanded our credit facility and closed on our secondary offering. I am proud of our team and their focus on serving our markets, growing our company and building shareholder value.

“Our recent acquisitions expanded our market opportunities in two of our key verticals Public Sector and Education. We are excited about our momentum in these markets, and we remain optimistic about our prospects to deliver software solutions that meet our customers’ needs and drive our revenue growth. We are also pleased with the successful implementation of our strategic plan for the company's infrastructure that will support our future growth, including the support of approximately 500 employees throughout our company.

“During the third quarter, our Public Sector vertical outperformed our expectations. The strong performance from the Public Sector group was somewhat offset by continued weakness in the integrated point-of-sale channel. Our Public Sector team continues to be successful in our markets, and we expect our recent product enhancements to add to our growth opportunities. In addition, with schools starting back, we are excited about our expanded product offerings in the Education vertical. We expect the Public Sector and Education verticals to contribute to our revenue growth in the fourth quarter and fiscal 2020.

“We are grateful for the support of both our new and existing investors. The secondary offering completed in the third quarter has increased our daily trading volume, and we will remain under lock-up with our underwriters for 90 days. Today, we also filed a universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. This is simply good corporate housekeeping as it allows us to quickly access the capital markets in the future, but we do not intend to sell additional equity at this time.”

2019 Outlook
The Company reiterates the following guidance, which it issued on June 3, 2019, in connection with the Pace acquisition:

(in thousands, except per share amounts) Outlook Range 
Fiscal year ending September 30, 2019 
Adjusted net revenue(1) (non-GAAP)
$132,000 $138,000 
Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) $37,000 $40,000 
Adjusted diluted earnings per share(2) (non-GAAP)
$0.80 $0.85 
_______________________
1.Under GAAP, companies must adjust, as necessary, beginning balances of acquired deferred revenue to fair value as part of acquisition accounting as defined by GAAP. For the 2019 outlook, the Company has removed the effect of these adjustments to acquisition date fair value from acquisitions that have closed as of the earnings release date.
2.Assumes an effective pro forma tax rate of 25.0% (non-GAAP).

With respect to the “2019 Outlook,” adjusted net revenue, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted diluted earnings per share are non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliation of adjusted net revenue, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted diluted earnings per share guidance to the closest corresponding GAAP measure on a forward-looking basis is not available without unreasonable efforts. This inability results from the inherent difficulty in forecasting generally and quantifying certain projected amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations. In particular, sufficient information is not available to calculate certain adjustments required for such reconciliations, including changes in the fair value of contingent consideration, income tax expense of i3 Verticals, Inc. and equity-based compensation expense. The Company expects these adjustments may have a potentially significant impact on future GAAP financial results.

Conference Call
The Company will host a conference call on Friday, August 9, 2019, at 8:00 a.m. ET, to discuss financial results and operations. To listen to the call live via telephone, participants should dial (323) 794-2551 approximately 10 minutes prior to the start of the call. A telephonic replay will be available from 11:00 a.m. ET on August 9, 2019, through August 16, 2019, by dialing (719) 457-0820 and entering Confirmation Code 6839934.

To listen to the call live via webcast, participants should visit the “Investors” section of the Company’s website, www.i3verticals.com, and go to the “Events & Presentations” page approximately 10 minutes prior to the start of the call. The online replay will be available on this page of the Company’s website beginning shortly after the conclusion of the call and will remain available for 30 days.

Non-GAAP Measures
This press release contains information prepared in conformity with GAAP as well as non-GAAP information. It is management’s intent to provide non-GAAP financial information to enhance understanding of the Company's consolidated financial information as prepared in accordance with GAAP. This non-GAAP information should be considered by the reader in addition to, but not instead of, the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Each non-GAAP financial measure and the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure are presented so as not to imply that more emphasis should be placed on the non-GAAP measure. The non-GAAP financial information presented may be determined or calculated differently by other companies.

Additional information about non-GAAP financial measures, including, but not limited to, adjusted net revenue, pro forma adjusted net income, adjusted EBITDA and pro forma adjusted diluted EPS, and a reconciliation of those measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is included on pages 11 through 14 in the financial schedules of this release.

Forward-Looking Statements
This release contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical fact or relating to present facts or current conditions included in this release are forward-looking statements, including any statements regarding guidance and statements of a general economic or industry specific nature. Forward-looking statements give the Company's current expectations and projections relating to its financial condition, results of operations, guidance, plans, objectives, future performance and business. You generally can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements may include words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “plan,” “intend,” “believe,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could have,” “exceed,” “significantly,” “likely” and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of the timing or nature of future operating or financial performance or other events.

The forward-looking statements contained in this release (such as our 2019 outlook) are based on assumptions that we have made in light of the Company's industry experience and its perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors we believe are appropriate under the circumstances. As you review and consider information presented herein, you should understand that these statements are not guarantees of future performance or results. They depend upon future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties (many of which are beyond the Company's control) and assumptions. Although we believe that these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, you should be aware that many factors could affect the Company's actual future performance or results and cause them to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements. Certain of these factors and other risks are discussed in the Company's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and include, but are not limited to: (i) the ability to generate revenues sufficient to maintain profitability and positive cash flow; (ii) competition in the Company's industry and the ability to compete effectively; (iii) the dependence on non-exclusive distribution partners to market the Company's products and services; (iv) the ability to keep pace with rapid developments and changes in the Company's industry and provide new products and services; (v) liability and reputation damage from unauthorized disclosure, destruction or modification of data or disruption of the Company's services; (vi) technical, operational and regulatory risks related to the Company's information technology systems and third-party providers’ systems; (vii) reliance on third parties for significant services; (viii) exposure to economic conditions and political risks affecting consumer and commercial spending, including the use of credit cards; (ix) the ability to increase the Company's existing vertical markets, expand into new vertical markets and execute the Company's growth strategy; (x) the ability to successfully identify acquisition targets, complete those acquisitions and effectively integrate those acquisitions into the Company's services; (xi) degradation of the quality of the Company's products, services and support; (xii) the ability to retain clients, many of which are small- and medium-sized businesses, which can be difficult and costly to retain; (xiii) the Company's ability to successfully manage its intellectual property; (xiv) the ability to attract, recruit, retain and develop key personnel and qualified employees; (xv) risks related to laws, regulations and industry standards; (xvi) the Company's indebtedness and potential increases in its indebtedness; (xvii) operating and financial restrictions imposed by the Company's senior secured credit facility; and (xviii) the risk factors included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2018 and in our subsequent SEC filings. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of

these assumptions prove incorrect, the Company's actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements.

Any forward-looking statement made by us in this release speaks only as of the date of this release. Factors or events that could cause the Company's actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities.

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company believes that non-GAAP financial measures are important to enable investors to understand and evaluate its ongoing operating results. Accordingly, i3 Verticals includes non-GAAP financial measures when reporting its financial results to shareholders and potential investors in order to provide them with an additional tool to evaluate the Company’s ongoing business operations. i3 Verticals believes that the non-GAAP financial measures are representative of comparative financial performance that reflects the economic substance of i3 Verticals’ current and ongoing business operations.

Although non-GAAP financial measures are often used to measure the Company's operating results and assess its financial performance, they are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation. i3 Verticals believes that its provision of non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with important key financial performance indicators that are utilized by management to assess the Company's operating results, evaluate the business and make operational decisions on a prospective, going-forward basis. Hence, management provides disclosure of non-GAAP financial measures to give shareholders and potential investors an opportunity to see i3 Verticals as viewed by management, to assess i3 Verticals with some of the same tools that management utilizes internally and to be able to compare such information with prior periods. i3 Verticals believes that inclusion of non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with additional information to help them better understand its financial statements just as management utilizes these non-GAAP financial measures to better understand the business, manage budgets and allocate resources.
