Insights

The reported financial results from Jack Henry & Associates, Inc. demonstrate a positive trajectory in revenue and operating income on both GAAP and non-GAAP bases. An 8.0% increase in GAAP revenue and a 10.8% increase in GAAP operating income for the fiscal quarter, coupled with an 8.4% and 14.4% increase in non-GAAP adjusted revenue and operating income respectively, indicate a robust financial performance. The growth in data processing and hosting revenue, as well as digital and card services, reflects the company's successful leverage of its technology offerings in a market that increasingly values digital transformation.

From an investment perspective, the company's ability to maintain an upward trend in revenue and income is a positive signal. However, investors should note the increased selling, general and administrative expenses, which rose by 23.8% for the quarter and 30.7% for the six months period. This could be a point of concern if the trend continues, potentially impacting future profitability. The updated full-year fiscal guidance suggests confidence in continued growth, with an increase in expected EPS, which could be a sign of management's confidence in the company's operational efficiency and market position.

Jack Henry & Associates' performance in the financial technology sector is noteworthy, especially considering the record second quarter for sales bookings and the replenishment of a robust sales pipeline. The sector is highly competitive and the company's focus on innovative solutions and modernization strategy seems to be resonating with community and regional financial institutions. The growth in Jack Henry digital revenue, including Banno and card revenue highlights the company's successful adaptation to the evolving financial services landscape.

Long-term, the strategic positioning of Jack Henry & Associates in offering modern solutions could lead to sustained demand and customer loyalty. However, the market should monitor how the company manages its operating expenses, particularly in research and development, to ensure that it continues to innovate without disproportionately increasing costs. The decrease in research and development expenses for the quarter, albeit a slight increase for the six-month period, suggests a careful balancing act between innovation and cost control.

The financial report includes several non-GAAP financial measures, which are reconciled with GAAP figures. It's important to understand that non-GAAP measures, while providing additional insight into a company's operational performance, are not standardized and can vary in calculation from one company to another. In the case of Jack Henry & Associates, non-GAAP adjustments include items such as deconversion revenue, acquisition-related figures and voluntary employee departure incentive program expenses.

Investors and analysts should appreciate the transparency provided by the reconciliations but also exercise due diligence in understanding the nature of these adjustments. The effective tax rates reported, 23.5% for the quarter and 23.6% for the six months, are within industry norms and do not raise any immediate legal or compliance red flags. However, ongoing scrutiny of tax rates is advisable due to potential changes in tax laws and their impact on corporate earnings.

  • Effective tax rates for the three months ended December 31, 2023, and 2022 were 23.5% and 23.2%, respectively. Effective tax rates for the six months ended December 31, 2023, and 2022 were 23.6% and 23.4%, respectively.

According to Mimi Carsley, CFO and Treasurer, "Our solid second quarter results began with 8% non-GAAP revenue growth driven by sustained demand for our private cloud and processing services. As a consequence of that strong organic revenue growth and the SaaS nature of our business, non-GAAP operating income grew over 14%."

5 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.

6 On August 31, 2022, the Company acquired all the equity interest in Payrailz.

7 The VEDIP program was a voluntary separation program offered by the Company to certain eligible employees beginning in July 2023.

*The VEDIP program expense for the six months ended December 31, 2023, was related to a voluntary separation program offered by the Company to certain eligible employees beginning in July 2023.

**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 three and six months periods of 2023 and for the three and six month periods of 2022.  Our tax rate for non-GAAP adjustment items takes a broad look at our recurring tax adjustments and applies them to non-GAAP revenue that does not have its own specific tax impacts.

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 operating income, adjusted segment income, adjusted 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, return on invested capital (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 operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted segment income, adjusted segment income margin, adjusted cost of revenue, adjusted operating expenses, and adjusted net income eliminate one-time deconversion revenue and associated costs, the effects of acquisitions and divestitures, the VEDIP program expense, and the gain on sale of assets, net, all of 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 expense, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, adjusted for net income before the effect of interest expense, taxes, depreciation, and amortization attributable to eliminated one-time deconversions, acquisitions and divestitures, the VEDIP program expense, and the gain on sale of assets, net. 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. ROIC is defined as net income divided by average invested capital, which is the average of beginning and ending long-term debt and stockholders' equity for a given period. 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 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.
