i3 VERTICALS REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2021 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Raises 2021 Outlook

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (August 9, 2021) – i3 Verticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: IIIV) (“i3 Verticals” or the “Company”) today reported its financial results for the fiscal third quarter ended June 30, 2021.

Highlights for the fiscal third quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2021 vs. 2020
Third quarter revenue was $62.0 million, an increase of 96% over the prior year's third quarter. Revenue for the nine months ended June 30, 2021, was $153.1 million, an increase of 37% over the prior year's first nine months.
Third quarter net loss was $4.6 million, compared to net loss of $2.8 million in the prior year's third quarter. Net loss for the nine months ended June 30, 2021, was $8.8 million, compared to net income of $1.0 million in the prior year's first nine months.
Third quarter diluted net loss per share available to Class A common stock was $0.15, compared to diluted net loss per share available to Class A common stock of $0.02 in the prior year's third quarter. For the nine months ended June 30, 2021, diluted net loss per share available to Class A common stock was $0.26, compared to diluted net income per share available to Class A common stock of $0.01 for the prior year's first nine months.
Integrated payments1 were 60% of payment volume for the three months ended June 30, 2021.
Software and related services revenue2 as a percentage of total revenue was 40% and 26% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
As of June 30, 2021, our consolidated interest coverage ratio was 8.23x, total leverage ratio was 3.81x and consolidated senior leverage ratio was 1.87x. These ratios are defined in our Senior Secured Credit Facility.


Greg Daily, Chairman and CEO of i3 Verticals, commented, “We are proud of our third quarter results. Once again, we achieved new records in revenue, adjusted EBITDA, software revenue, payment volume and integration mix. The momentum we saw at the end of our second quarter continued throughout our third quarter as the economy continued to rebound. Our software and related services revenue grew to 40% of our total revenue even as we experienced excellent growth in all other revenue categories.

Our Public Sector vertical now represents over half of our company and Healthcare is now our second largest vertical. We will continue to invest in both of these markets as we pursue our software-led strategy. We believe our recent acquisitions along with our product development have strengthened our position in the market and positioned us for future growth.”

1.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.
2.Software and related services revenue includes the sale of licenses, subscriptions, installation and implementation services, and ongoing support specific to software.

Changes in Presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Pro Forma Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share

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. In previous quarterly earnings reports, we included in our reported adjusted net revenue, adjusted EBITDA, pro forma adjusted net income and pro forma adjusted diluted EPS an adjustment to remove the effect of purchase accounting write-downs of deferred revenue, which we have called "Acquisition Revenue Adjustments". We have also historically included an estimated amount of Acquisition Revenue Adjustments, excluding future acquisitions, in our guidance for adjusted net revenue, adjusted EBITDA and pro forma adjusted diluted EPS. As part of the ordinary course SEC comment process, however, we are no longer adjusting revenue, adjusted EBITDA, pro forma adjusted net income and pro forma adjusted diluted EPS to remove the effect of Acquisition Revenue Adjustments. We will continue to provide, separately, the same non-GAAP Acquisition Revenue Adjustment for informational purposes. The following table summarizes our revenue, adjusted EBITDA, pro forma adjusted net income and pro forma adjusted diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, excluding the Acquisition Revenue Adjustments. The applicable Acquisition Revenue Adjustments and the impact of excluding them on our pro forma adjusted earnings per share is also summarized.

Revised 2021 Outlook
The Company's practice is to provide annual guidance, excluding future acquisitions and transaction-related costs. 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. In previous quarterly earnings reports we have included in our reported adjusted net revenue, adjusted EBITDA and pro forma adjusted diluted EPS an “acquisition revenue adjustment” to remove the effect of purchase accounting write-downs of deferred revenue from acquisitions that have closed as of the date of the earnings release. We have also historically included an estimated amount, excluding future acquisitions, in our guidance for adjusted net revenue, adjusted EBITDA and pro forma adjusted diluted EPS. As part of the ordinary course SEC comment process, however, we are no longer adjusting net revenue, EBITDA and pro forma diluted EPS to remove the effect of purchase accounting write-downs of deferred revenue. For informational purposes, we have included an estimate of $5.1 million which represents the impact of Acquisition Revenue Adjustments which are now excluded from our guidance on revenue, adjusted EBITDA and pro forma adjusted diluted EPS.

The Company is providing the following revised outlook for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2021:

3.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. Amounts shown reflect the effect of these adjustments to acquisition date fair value from acquisitions that have closed as of the earnings release date.

With respect to the “Revised 2021 Outlook” above, reconciliation of adjusted net revenue, adjusted EBITDA and pro forma 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.

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.

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 stockholders 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 stockholders 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.

________
1.Financing-related expenses includes expenses directly related to certain transactions as part of financing transactions.
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.Equity-based compensation expense consisted of $5,111 related to stock options issued under the Company's 2018 Equity Incentive Plan and 2020 Acquisition Equity Incentive Plan and $2,816 related to stock options issued under the Company's 2018 Equity Incentive Plan during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Equity-based compensation expense consisted of $12,694 related to stock options issued under the Company's 2018 Equity Incentive Plan and 2020 Acquisition Equity Incentive Plan and $7,450 related to stock options issued under the Company's 2018 Equity Incentive Plan during the nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
4.Acquisition-related expenses are the professional service and related costs directly related to the Company's acquisitions and are not part of its core performance.
5.Acquisition intangible amortization reflects amortization of intangible assets and software acquired through business combinations, acquired customer portfolios, acquired referral agreements and related asset acquisitions.
6.Non-cash interest expense reflects amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs and any write-offs of debt issuance costs.
7.Other taxes consist of franchise taxes, commercial activity taxes, employer payroll taxes related to stock exercises and other non-income based taxes. Taxes related to salaries are not included.
8.In March 2021, the Company became aware of an observable price change in an investment due to a planned third party acquisition of the entity underlying the investment. This resulted in an increase of $2,353 to the fair value of the investment at March 31, 2021, which the Company recognized in other income.
9.Non-cash loss on Exchangeable Note repurchases reflects the loss on retirement of debt the Company recorded during the relevant periods due to the carrying value exceeding the fair value of the repurchased portion of the 1.0% Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2025 (the “Exchangeable Notes”) at the dates of repurchases.
10.COVID-19 related expenses reflects incremental expenses incurred as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, including employee severance expenses and legal expenses.
11.Pro forma corporate income tax expense is based on Non-GAAP adjusted income before taxes and is calculated using a tax rate of 25.0% for both 2021 and 2020, based on blended federal and state tax rates.
12.Pro forma adjusted net income assumes that all net income during that period was available to the holders of the Company's Class A common stock.
13.Cash interest expense, net represents all interest expense net of interest income recorded on the Company's statement of operations other than non-cash interest expense, which represents amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs and any write-offs of debt issuance costs.
14.Depreciation, non-acquired intangible asset amortization and internally developed software amortization reflects depreciation on the Company's property, plant and equipment, net, and amortization expense on its internally developed capitalized software.
15.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. In previous quarterly earnings reports we have included in our pro forma adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA an acquisition revenue adjustment to remove the effect of purchase accounting write-downs of deferred revenue from acquisitions that have closed as of the date of the earnings release. We have also historically included an estimated amount, excluding future acquisitions, in our guidance for adjusted EBITDA. As part of the ordinary course SEC comment process, however, we are no longer adjusting EBITDA to remove the effect of Acquisition Revenue Adjustments. We have presented the excluded adjustment separately for informational purposes.

The presentation also includes references to the Company’s non-GAAP financials measures. The Company believes that, in addition to the financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income (loss) are appropriate indicators to assist in the evaluation of its operating performance on a period-to-period basis. The Company also uses adjusted EBITDA internally as a performance measure for planning purposes, including forecasting and for calculations of earnout liabilities. Adjusted EBITDA is also used to evaluate the Company’s ability to service debt.These non-GAAP financials measures presented throughout should be considered as a supplement to, not a substitute for, revenue, income from operations, net income, or other financials performance and liquidity measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. 1. Effective July 1, 2020, the Company reassigned a component from the Proprietary Software and Payments segment to the Merchant Services segment to better align the Company's business within its segments.

5 Acquisition Revenue Adjustments 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. In previous quarterly supplemental information reports we have included in our reported adjusted net revenue, adjusted EBITDA and pro forma adjusted diluted EPS an “acquisition revenue adjustment” to remove the effect of purchase accounting write-downs of deferred revenue from acquisitions that have closed as of the date of the earnings release. We have also, historically, included an estimated amount, excluding future acquisitions, in our guidance for adjusted net revenue, adjusted EBITDA and pro forma adjusted diluted EPS. As part of the ordinary course SEC comment process, however, are no longer adjusting net revenue, EBITDA and pro forma diluted EPS to remove the effect of purchase accounting write-downs of deferred revenue. We have presented the excluded adjustment separately for informational purposes below adjusted EBITDA in our press release and in this supplement. Further, in our press release we have included an estimate of the revenue impacts of acquisition revenue adjustments which are now excluded from our guidance on revenue, adjusted EBITDA and pro forma adjusted diluted EPS.

Pro forma corporate income tax expense is based on Non-GAAP adjusted income before taxes and is calculated using a tax rate of 25.0% for both 2021 and 2020, based on blended federal and state tax rates, considering the Tax Reform Act for 2018. 12. Pro forma adjusted net income assumes that all net income during the period is available to the holders of the Company’s Class A common stock. 13. Cash interest expense, net represents all interest expense net of interest income recorded on the Company's statement of operations other than non-cash interest expense, which represents amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs and any write-offs of debt issuance costs. 14. Depreciation, non-acquired intangible asset amortization and internally developed software amortization reflects depreciation on the Company's property, plant and equipment, net, and amortization expense on its internally developed capitalized software. 15. 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. In previous quarterly earnings reports we have included in our reported adjusted EBITDA an acquisition revenue adjustment to remove the effect of purchase accounting write-downs of deferred revenue from acquisitions that have closed as of the date of the earnings release. As part of the ordinary course SEC comment process, however, we are no longer adjusting EBITDA and to remove the effect of purchase accounting write-downs of deferred revenue. We have presented the excluded adjustment separately for informational purposes.

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (“ASC 470-20”), convertible debt that may be entirely or partially settled in cash (such as the notes) is required to be separated into a liability and an equity component, such that interest expense reflects the issuer’s non-convertible debt interest cost. On the issue date, the value of the exchange option of the notes, representing the equity component was recorded as additional paid-in capital within shareholders’ equity and as a discount to the notes, which reduces their initial carrying value. The carrying value of the notes, net of the discount recorded, was accrued up to the principal amount of such notes from the issue date until maturity. ASC 470-20 does not affect the actual amount that the Issuer is required to repay. The amount shown in the table above for the discount reflects the debt discount for the value of the exchange option.
