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. Additionally, ARR 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 i3 Verticals' 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, "In the second quarter of fiscal year 2024 we continued to make progress on our recurring revenue sources. SaaS and software transaction-based revenue were both up 10%, while payments was up 6%. Despite certain non-recurring sources of revenue such as license and professional services being temporarily lower, we still expanded our adjusted EBITDA margins by 100 bps year-over-year, a testament to our team’s efforts to drive bottom line results. Looking ahead, we are excited about our pipeline of opportunities as well as our market position in our core vertical markets.”

Update on Exploration of Sale of our Merchant Services Business

The Company previously announced that its Board of Directors initiated a process solely to explore the potential sale of certain assets related to its Merchant Services Business. While that process is ongoing, there is no assurance that the process to explore the sale of the Merchant Services Business will result in any transaction, or if the transaction is completed, the timing or terms of any such transaction. Any decision by the Board to engage in any transaction involving the Merchant Services Business will be aligned with the Board’s objectives of maximizing long-term shareholder value and strengthening the Company’s ongoing operations, and in all cases will be subject to then prevailing market conditions.

Revised 2024 Outlook

The Company's practice is to provide annual guidance, excluding the impact of acquisitions, dispositions and transaction-related costs. In particular, this annual guidance does not take into account any impact of the potential sale of i3 Verticals' Merchant Services Business as described above in the Company's results of operations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2024, in the event that such sale is completed.

The Company is providing the following revised outlook for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2024:

1.

Assumes an effective pro forma tax rate of 25.0% (non-GAAP).

With respect to the “Revised 2024 Outlook” above, reconciliations 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 have a potentially significant impact on future GAAP financial results.

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, 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 the disclosure 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.
