According to Mimi Carsley, CFO and Treasurer, “During the third quarter, we delivered strong growth in several key revenue areas, including continued expansion in cloud revenue and solid performance from our faster payments products and digital offerings. We anticipate relative weakness to the year to date in fiscal Q4 non-GAAP revenue and margins consistent with previously stated expectations. Based on our positive outlook, we have increased our full year non-GAAP revenue, non-GAAP margin expansion, and GAAP EPS guidance.”
Operating margin is calculated by dividing operating income by revenue. Operating margin plus operating expense components as a percentage of total revenue may not equal 100% due to rounding.

*GAAP revenue is comprised of services and support and processing revenues (see page 2). Services and support revenue less deconversion revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, which was $18,665 for the current fiscal year quarter and $9,644 for the prior fiscal year quarter, and reducing the three months ended March 31, 2025, amount also for revenue related to a contractual change of $1,201, results in non-GAAP adjusted services and support revenue growth of 8.3% quarter over quarter. Processing revenue less revenue from the acquisition for the three months ended March 31, 2026, of $1,651, results in non-GAAP adjusted processing revenue growth of 6.0% quarter over quarter.
Services and support revenue less deconversion revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025 which was $33,504 for the current fiscal year period and $13,410 for the prior fiscal year period, and reducing the nine months ended March 31, 2025, amount also for revenue related to a contractual change of $14,672, results in non-GAAP adjusted services and support revenue growth of 7.3% period over period. Processing revenue less revenue from the acquisition for the three months ended March 31, 2026, of $3,595, results in non-GAAP adjusted processing revenue growth of 7.9% period over period.
**Non-GAAP adjusted operating margin is calculated by dividing non-GAAP adjusted operating income by non-GAAP adjusted revenue.
***The tax impact of adjustments is calculated using a tax rate of 24% for the fiscal three and nine months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025. The tax rate for non-GAAP adjustment items takes a broad look at the Company's recurring tax adjustments and applies them to non-GAAP revenue that does not have its own specific tax impacts.
The tables below show the segment break-out of revenue and cost of revenue for each period presented, as adjusted for the items above, and include a reconciliation to non-GAAP adjusted operating income presented above.

*Revenue non-GAAP adjustments for the Core segment were ($14,672) of revenue related to the contractual change and ($6,105) of deconversion revenue. Revenue non-GAAP adjustments for the remainder of the segments were deconversion revenue. Cost of revenue non-GAAP adjustments for the Core segment were cost of revenue related to a contractual change of ($12,494) and ($1,365) of deconversion costs. Cost of revenue non-GAAP adjustments for the remainder of the segments were deconversion costs.
**Segment income margin is calculated by dividing segment income by revenue for each segment. Non-GAAP adjusted segment income margin is calculated by dividing non-GAAP adjusted segment income by non-GAAP adjusted revenue for each segment.
***Non-GAAP adjustments unassigned to a segment were deconversion costs.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) is the term used to refer to the standard framework of guidelines for financial accounting in the United States. GAAP includes the standards, conventions, and rules accountants follow in recording and summarizing transactions in the preparation of financial statements. In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with GAAP, we have provided certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted revenue, adjusted segment revenue, adjusted operating income, adjusted segment income, adjusted cost of revenue, adjusted segment cost of revenue, adjusted operating expenses, adjusted operating margin, adjusted segment income margin, non-GAAP earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (non-GAAP EBITDA), free cash flow, net operating profit after tax return on invested capital (NOPAT ROIC), and non-GAAP adjusted net income.
We believe non-GAAP financial measures help investors better understand the underlying fundamentals and true operations of our business. Adjusted revenue, adjusted segment revenue, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted segment income, adjusted segment income margin, adjusted cost of revenue, adjusted segment cost of revenue, adjusted operating expenses, and adjusted net income eliminate one-time deconversion revenue and associated costs, the gain on assets, net, an acquisition, and a contractual change, which management believes are not indicative of the Company's operating performance. Such adjustments give investors further insight into our performance. Non-GAAP EBITDA is defined as net income attributable to the Company before the effect of interest income, net, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, adjusted for net income before the effect of interest income, net, taxes, depreciation, and amortization attributable to eliminated one-time deconversions, the gain on assets, net, an acquisition, and a contractual change. Free cash flow is defined as net cash from operating activities, less capitalized expenditures, internal use software, and capitalized software, plus proceeds from the sale of assets. NOPAT ROIC is defined as operating income for the trailing four quarters multiplied by one minus the average effective tax rate (ETR) for the trailing four quarters, with the result divided by average invested capital (average of the beginning and ending period balances). Management believes that non-GAAP EBITDA is an important measure of the Company’s overall operating performance and excludes certain costs and other transactions that management deems one time or non-operational in nature; free cash flow is useful to measure the funds generated in a given period that are available for debt service requirements and strategic capital decisions; and NOPAT ROIC is a measure of the Company’s allocation efficiency and effectiveness of its invested capital. For these reasons, management also uses these non-GAAP financial measures in its assessment and management of the Company's performance.
Non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore, are unlikely to be comparable with calculations of similar measures for other companies.
Any non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in context with the GAAP financial presentation and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP measures. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to related GAAP measures are included.

FAQ for Analysts / Investors
1.)Why does fiscal 2025 non-GAAP revenue used for growth calculation not match reported fiscal 2025 non-GAAP revenue?
- The restructuring of a third-party agreement has resulted in a $16 million fiscal year-over-year revenue headwind, with $12 million of that coming in the first quarter and $3 million additional in the second and third quarters.
- The remaining $1 million is expected to impact the fourth quarter.
- This restructuring has also resulted in a decrease in the related costs and the impact on margins is expected to be minimal.
- This has been adjusted for a consistent fiscal year-over-year comparison and is included in our fiscal year 2026 guidance (see page 9).
2.) What are some key elements of the outlook for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026?
- We expect the year-over-year revenue growth rates to slow slightly as we face overall tougher prior year comparables from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025.
- We expect some contraction in margins in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to the fiscal year-to-date period margins that positively benefited from lower than normal expense for medical claims under our self-insured employee healthcare plan, especially during the first and second quarters.
