i3 VERTICALS REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2024 FINANCIAL RESULTS

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (May 10, 2024) – i3 Verticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: IIIV) (“i3 Verticals” or the “Company”) today reported its financial results for the fiscal second quarter ended March 31, 2024.
Highlights for the second quarter and six months ended March 31, 2024 vs. 2023
•Second quarter revenue was $94.5 million, an increase of 0.7% over the prior year's second quarter. Revenue for the six months ended March 31, 2024, was $186.5 million, an increase of 3.7% over the prior year's first six months.

•Second quarter net income attributable to i3 Verticals, Inc. was $1.9 million, compared to net income attributable to i3 Verticals, Inc. of $36 thousand in the prior year's second quarter. Net income attributable to i3 Verticals, Inc. for the six months ended March 31, 2024, was $3.0 million, compared to net loss attributable to i3 Verticals, Inc. of $0.2 million in the prior year's first six months.
•Second quarter adjusted EBITDA1 was $25.8 million, an increase of 4.4% over the prior year's second quarter. Adjusted EBITDA1 for the six months ended March 31, 2024, was $51.0 million, an increase of 5.5% over the prior year's first six months.
•Second quarter adjusted EBITDA1 as a percentage of revenue was 27.3%, compared to 26.3% in the prior year's second quarter. Adjusted EBITDA1 a percentage of revenue for the six months ended March 31, 2024, was 27.3%, compared to 26.9% in the prior year's first six months.
•Second quarter diluted net income per share available to Class A common stock was $0.08, compared to diluted net loss per share available to Class A common stock of $0.00 in the prior year's second quarter. Diluted net income per share available to Class A common stock was $0.13 in the six months ended March 31, 2024, compared to diluted net loss per share available to Class A common stock of $0.01 in the prior year's first six months.

Pro forma adjusted diluted earnings per share1 for the six months ended March 31, 2024, was $0.70 compared to $0.75 for the prior year's first six months.
•Annualized Recurring Revenue ("ARR")2 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was $322.5 million and $305.7 million, respectively, representing a period-to-period growth rate of 5.5%.
•Software and related services revenue3 as a percentage of total revenue was 48.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
•As of March 31, 2024, consolidated interest coverage ratio was 4.1x and total leverage ratio was 3.5x. 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. 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:
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)Previous Outlook RangeRevised Outlook Range

Revenue$385,000 -$400,000 $380,000 -$394,000

$1.52 -$1.64 $1.49 -$1.57 
_______________________
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.

considered by the reader in addition to, but not instead of, the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

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 the Company's fiscal 2024 financial outlook 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 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 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. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from those expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements include, among other things: the impact of our Board of Directors exploring a potential sale of our Merchant Services Business, including the risks that a definitive agreement will not be reached with respect to a potential transaction or that a potential transaction will not be consummated, potential adverse effects on the market price of our Class A common stock or on our operating results because of the failure to complete such a potential transaction, potential adverse effects of the announcement or the consummation of such potential transaction on the market price of our Class A common stock, significant transaction costs associated with such a potential transaction, and the effect of the announcement or pendency of such potential transaction on our business relationships, operating results, and business generally,
among other factors; ongoing economic and geopolitical conditions, including the impact of inflation and elevated interest rates, competition in our industry and our ability to compete effectively, and regulatory developments; the successful integration of acquired businesses; and future decisions made by us and our competitors. All of these factors are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of them are beyond our control. For a further list and description of these and other important risks and uncertainties that may affect our future operations, see Part I, Item 1A - Risk Factors in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which we may update in Part II, Item 1A - Risk Factors in Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q we have filed or will file hereafter.
Any forward-looking statement made by us in this release speaks only as of the date of this release and we undertake 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.

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.

3 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 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 contemplate 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. Annualized Recurring Revenue (“ARR”)

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 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.
