i3 VERTICALS REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2023 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Secures state level contracts in Public Sector
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (August 8, 2023) – i3 Verticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: IIIV) (“i3 Verticals” or the “Company”) today reported its financial results for the fiscal third quarter ended June 30, 2023.
Highlights for the fiscal third quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2023 vs. 2022
Third quarter revenue was $93.9 million, an increase of 16.6% over the prior year's third quarter. Revenue for the nine months ended June 30, 2023, was $273.8 million, an increase of 17.7% over the prior year's first nine months.

Third quarter net loss attributable to i3 Verticals, Inc. was $5.2 million. Net loss attributable to i3 Verticals, Inc. for the nine months ended June 30, 2023, was $5.4 million.
Third quarter adjusted EBITDA1 was $25.3 million, an increase of 26.0% over the prior year's third quarter. Adjusted EBITDA1 for the nine months ended June 30, 2023, was $73.6 million, an increase of 27.3% over the prior year's first nine months.
Third quarter adjusted EBITDA1 as a percentage of revenue was 26.9%, compared to 24.9% in the prior year's third quarter. Adjusted EBITDA1 as a percentage of revenue for the nine months ended June 30, 2023, was 26.9%, compared to 24.9% in the prior year's first nine months.
Third quarter diluted net loss per share available to Class A common stock was $0.22, compared to diluted net loss per share available to Class A common stock of $0.17 in the prior year's third quarter. Diluted net loss per share available to Class A common stock was $0.23 in the nine months ended June 30, 2023, compared to diluted net loss per share available to Class A common stock of $0.62 in the prior year's first nine months.
Third quarter pro forma adjusted diluted earnings per share1, which gives pro forma effect to the Company's tax rate, was $0.38 compared to $0.37 for the prior year's third quarter. Pro forma adjusted diluted earnings per share1 for the nine months ended June 30, 2023, was $1.12 compared to $1.09 for the prior year's first nine months.
Annualized Recurring Revenue ("ARR")2 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $311.4 million and $266.7 million, respectively, representing a period-to-period growth rate of 16.8%.
Software and related services revenue3 as a percentage of total revenue was 50.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2023.
As of June 30, 2023, consolidated interest coverage ratio was 4.31x and total leverage ratio was 4.00x. These ratios are defined in the Company's 2023 Credit Agreement.

1.Represents a non-GAAP financial measure. For additional information (including reconciliation information), see the attached schedules to this release.
2.Annualized Recurring Revenue (ARR) is the annualized revenue derived from software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) arrangements, transaction-based software-revenue, software maintenance, recurring software-based services, payments revenue and other recurring revenue sources within the quarter. This excludes contracts that are not recurring or are one-time in nature. The Company focuses on ARR because it helps i3 Verticals to assess the health and trajectory of the business. ARR does not have a standardized definition and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. It should be reviewed independently of revenue and it is not a forecast. It does not take into account seasonality. The active contracts at the end of a reporting period used in calculating ARR may or may not be extended or renewed by our customers.
3.Software and related services revenue includes the sale of subscriptions, recurring services, ongoing support, licenses, and installation and implementation services specific to software.

Greg Daily, Chairman and CEO of i3 Verticals, commented, “The third quarter of our fiscal year 2023 was excellent and we are proud to share the results. As each quarter goes by, we have improved our position with recurring revenue sources, such as software as a service revenue, which grew 20% year over year. Overall, revenue from recurring sources grew 17%.
“We continue to weigh strategic M&A opportunities, but are keeping our standards very high in this market. At the same time, we have been laser focused on many internal optimization projects, finding ways to share resources, and best practices across our excellent portfolio of products. Professionalization of our enterprise RFP response team has allowed us to compete for larger opportunities. To illustrate the potential, we are proud to announce two new state-level wins from our Justice Tech and Transportation divisions of the Public Sector. We have never been better positioned to compete in many more similar processes. Whether it is centralizing professional services, bringing new software solutions to market, capitalizing on the plethora of cross-selling opportunities, or transitioning customers from on-premise to cloud-based solutions, best practices are winning the day and we are excited about the direction and continued potential of our business."
2023 Outlook
The Company's practice is to provide annual guidance, excluding future acquisitions and transaction-related costs.
The Company is reaffirming its outlook for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2023:
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)Outlook Range
Revenue$360,000 -$380,000 
Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP)
$97,000 -$103,000 
Depreciation and internally developed software amortization$8,000 -$9,000 
Cash interest expense, net$22,000 -$23,000 
Pro forma adjusted diluted earnings per share(1)(non-GAAP)
$1.46 -$1.56 
_______________________
1.Assumes an effective pro forma tax rate of 25.0% (non-GAAP).

With respect to the “2023 Outlook” above, reconciliation of 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 potentially have a significant impact on future GAAP financial results.

The Company will host a conference call on Wednesday, August 9, 2023, at 8:30 a.m. EDT, to discuss financial results and operations.

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 for historical periods 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.

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.

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. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from those expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements include, among other things: future economic conditions, including the impact of inflation and rising interest rates, competition in our industry and the Company's ability to compete effectively, and regulatory developments, the successful integration of acquired businesses, and future decisions made by us and our competitors.

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures presented by the Company provide useful information to investors in understanding and evaluating the Company's ongoing operating results. Accordingly, i3 Verticals includes such 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 these non-GAAP financial measures are representative of comparative financial performance that reflects the economic substance of i3 Verticals’ current and ongoing business operations.

Although these non-GAAP financial measures assist in measuring the Company's operating results and assessing 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 these 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 these 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 disclosure of these 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.

3 Annualized Recurring Revenue (“ARR”) 1. SaaS revenue is earned when we provide, as a service to our customers over time, the right to access our software, generally hosted in a cloud environment. 2. Transaction-based software revenue is earned when we provide services through our software and charge a per-transaction fee. For example, when we provide electronic filing services for courts and charge fees per filing, or when we stand-ready to process and bill utility customers and charge the utility a fee per bill electronically presented. 3. Software maintenance revenue is earned when, following the implementation of our software systems, we provide ongoing software support services to assist our customers in operating the systems and to periodically update the software. 4. Recurring software services are earned when we provide long-term, usually evergreen, contracted services to our customers through our software. The services provided, such as healthcare revenue cycle management, or automated collections management, are integrated into one of our software solutions. 5. Professional services are earned when we provide customized services to our customers who utilize our software products. Many of our customers contract with us for installation, configuration, training, and data conversion projects, which do not necessarily recur, and as such are excluded from our calculation of ARR. 6. Recurring other revenue primarily consists of recurring long-term contracts that are not specific to software, such as hardware maintenance plans or field service plans. 7. Recurring revenue consists of software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) arrangements, transaction-based software-revenue, software maintenance revenue, recurring software-based services, payments revenue and other recurring revenue sources. This excludes contracts that are not recurring or are one-time in nature. 8. Annualized Recurring Revenue (ARR) is the quarterly recurring revenue multiplied by 4. The Company focuses on ARR because it helps i3 to assess the health and trajectory of the business. ARR does not have a standardized definition and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. It should be reviewed independently of revenue and it is not a forecast. It does not take into account seasonality. The active contracts at the end of a reporting period used in calculating ARR may or may not be extended or renewed by the Company’s customers.

The presentation also includes references to non-GAAP financial measures presented by the Company. The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures presented by the Company provide useful information to investors in understanding and evaluating the Company's ongoing operating results. Accordingly, the Company includes such 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. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are representative of comparative financial performance that reflects the economic substance of the Company’s current and ongoing business operations. Although these non-GAAP financial measures assist in measuring the Company's operating results and assessing its financial performance, they are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation. The Company believes that its provision of these 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 these non-GAAP financial measures to give shareholders and potential investors an opportunity to see the Company as viewed by management, to assess the Company with some of the same tools that management utilizes internally and to be able to compare such information with prior periods. The Company believes that disclosure of these 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.
