Second Quarter Results

Consolidated revenues increased 8.9% to $83.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 compared with $77.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2022. The growth in revenues benefited from higher sales in both the Enterprise Banking and Business Solutions groups, including growth in digital banking, payments processing, managed cybersecurity and document delivery revenues. The results for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 included $159,000 in early contract termination fees compared with $788,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2022. Excluding the effect of early contract termination fees, net revenues increased 10.2% in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2022. Early contract termination fees are generated when a customer terminates its contract prior to the end of the contracted term, a circumstance that typically arises when an existing CSI customer is acquired by another financial institution that is not a CSI customer. These fees can vary significantly from period to period based on the number and size of customers that are acquired and how early in the contract term a customer is acquired.

Operating expenses were up 16.1% to $67.7 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 compared with $58.3 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2022. The increase in operating expenses included approximately $4.5 million in expenses related to financial and legal advisor fees and other expenses related to the proposed acquisition. Excluding the $4.5 million in expenses related to the proposed acquisition, proforma adjusted operating expenses increased 8.5% to $63.2 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2023. The increase in proforma adjusted operating expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 was primarily related to higher cost of goods sold on higher associated revenues and higher travel and software and hardware expenses.

Operating income declined 13.7% to $16.2 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 compared with $18.7 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2022. The decrease in operating income was due to the expenses related to the proposed acquisition. Excluding the expenses related to the proposed acquisition, operating income increased $1.9 million, or 10.2%, for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2022. Operating margin was 19.3% in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 compared with 24.3% for the second quarter of fiscal 2022. Excluding the expenses related to the proposed acquisition, the proforma adjusted operating margin for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 was 24.6%.

The provision for income tax was $4.0 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 compared with $4.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2022. The decrease was due to lower taxable income in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2022, net of a higher effective tax rate in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2022.

Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 declined 15.0% to $12.3 million compared with $14.5 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2022. Net income per share decreased 15.1% to $0.45 for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 on 27.5 million weighted average shares outstanding compared with $0.53 for the second quarter of fiscal 2022 on 27.5 million weighted average shares outstanding. Excluding approximately $4.5 million in expenses related to the proposed acquisition and $1.1 million of associated income tax effect, proforma adjusted net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 increased 8.3% to $15.7 million, or $0.57 per share.

Six Months Results

Consolidated revenues for the first six months of fiscal 2023 rose 7.3% to $164.9 million compared with $153.7 million for the first six months of fiscal 2022. CSI’s increase in revenues benefited from higher sales in both the Enterprise Banking and Business Solutions Groups, including growth in digital banking, payments processing, managed cybersecurity and document delivery revenues. Fiscal year-to-date revenues included $211,000 in early contract termination fees compared with $1.4 million in the first six months of fiscal 2022. Excluding the effect of the early contract termination fees from both periods, fiscal year-to-date revenues increased approximately 8.1% compared with the first half of fiscal 2022.

Operating expenses increased 11.3% to $129.3 million for the first six months of fiscal 2023 compared with $116.2 million for the first six months of fiscal 2022. The increase in operating expenses included approximately $4.8 million in expenses related to financial and legal advisor fees and other expenses for the proposed acquisition. Excluding the $4.8 million in expenses related to the proposed acquisition, proforma adjusted operating expenses increased 7.1% to $124.5 million for the first six months of fiscal 2023. The increase in proforma adjusted operating expenses for the first six months of fiscal 2023 was primarily related to higher cost of goods sold on higher associated revenues and higher travel and marketing from the in-person customer conference held in April 2022 and higher software and hardware expenses.

Operating income declined 5.0% to $35.7 million for the first six months of fiscal 2023 compared with $37.5 million for the first six months of fiscal 2022. The decrease in operating income was due to expenses related to the proposed acquisition. Excluding the expenses related to the proposed acquisition, operating income increased $2.9 million, or 7.8%, for the first six months of fiscal 2023 compared with the first six months of fiscal 2022. Operating margin decreased to 21.6% for the first six months of fiscal 2023 compared with 24.4% for the first six months of fiscal 2022.

Net income for the first six months of fiscal 2023 declined by 6.4% to $27.1 million compared with $28.9 million in the first six months of fiscal 2022. Net income per share was down 5.7% to $0.99 per share for the first six months of fiscal 2023 compared with $1.05 for the first six months of fiscal 2022. Excluding approximately $4.8 million in acquisition related fees and $1.2 million of related income tax effect, the proforma adjusted net income for the first six months of fiscal 2023 increased 6.2% to $30.7 million, or $1.12 per share.

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, CSI includes 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. CSI believes that the non-GAAP financial measures are representative of comparative financial performance that reflects the economic substance of CSI’s 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. CSI 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 investors an opportunity to see CSI as viewed by management, to assess CSI with some of the same tools that management utilizes internally and to be able to compare such information with prior periods. CSI 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.
