See footnotes on the following page.

1. As a result of the sale of the Company’s merchant services business (the "Merchant Services Business"), which was completed on September 20, 2024, and the sale of the Company's Healthcare revenue cycle management business ("Healthcare RCM Business"), which was completed on May 5, 2025, the historical results of the Merchant Services Business and the Healthcare RCM Business have been reflected in discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of operations included in this earnings release, and continuing operations reflect the Company's remaining operations after giving effect to such classifications. Prior period results have been recast to reflect this presentation.

2. Represents a non-GAAP financial measure. For additional information regarding non-GAAP financial measures (including reconciliation information), see the attached schedules to this release.

3. Diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to Class A common stock from continuing operations and adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations both exclude discontinued operations of the Merchant Services Business and the Healthcare RCM Business but include the consolidated cash interest expense.

4. Corporate income tax expense is based on non-GAAP adjusted income before taxes from continuing operations and is calculated using a tax rate of 25.0% for both the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, based on the estimated long-term effective tax rate, considering blended federal and state tax rates.

5. Annualized Recurring Revenue (ARR) is the annualized revenue derived from recurring sources where the Company has an ongoing contract with its customers. The Company believes revenue from recurring sources is a strategic priority. ARR is comprised of 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. The sum of these revenue categories is multiplied by four to calculate ARR. ARR excludes revenue that is not recurring or is one-time in nature. The Company's management believes this metric provides useful information to investors by providing visibility regarding the ongoing revenue potential of the Company's business model and providing a clearer picture of its sustainable revenue base. Further, the Company's management uses ARR as a metric because it helps to assess the health and trajectory of the Company's business. The Company's management believes that focusing on ARR can orient the Company's sales and operations management towards long-term, reliable revenue growth. This focus on recurring revenue is particularly relevant for businesses operating under a subscription model, where customer retention and contract renewals play a significant role in long-term financial performance. 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 the Company's customers.

Greg Daily, Chairman and CEO of i3 Verticals, commented, “We are excited about the revenue growth we achieved in Q3 of our fiscal 2025. Our overall revenue growth of 12% compared to the prior year quarter has been fueled by recurring contracts. SaaS growth led the way and grew 24% this quarter over the prior year period. Additionally, revenue from payments increased by 11% compared to the prior year quarter.

“The divestiture of our Healthcare Revenue Cycle Management Business has been smooth, and I want to complement all the people who have worked hard to make that process a success.

“Looking forward, we remain well capitalized, with over $50 million in cash on hand, but have been disciplined. We plan to continue our investment in government technology and are excited about the mission in front of us: to enable state and local governments and related agencies to serve their constituents in an effective and efficient manner.”

2025 Outlook

The Company's practice is to provide annual guidance, excluding future acquisitions and transaction-related costs.

The Company is reaffirming the following previously issued outlook for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2025:

With respect to the “2025 Outlook” above, reconciliations of adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations and adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations guidance to the closest corresponding GAAP measure on a forward-looking basis are 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.

Change in Segment Presentation

Prior to the disposition of the Healthcare RCM Business, the Company had two operating segments and reportable segments, a Public Sector segment and a Healthcare Segment, as was reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended March 31, 2025, filed on May 9, 2025. After giving effect to the disposition of the Healthcare RCM Business, the Company has determined that it has one operating segment and reportable segment as of June 30, 2025, and will be updating its segment presentation in its consolidated financial statements to be included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025, to reflect a single segment presentation.

1. Following the disposal of the Company's Merchant Services Business in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024, the Company’s core business has been providing software solutions. Given the change in the Company's business model following the sale of the Company's Merchant Services Business, the Company has reclassified certain expenses to better align with the primary industry in which it operates. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, the Company revised its presentation of certain expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations from selling, general and administrative expenses to other costs of services. The Company reclassified personnel costs related to installation of the Company's software, conversion of client data, training client personnel, customer support activities and various other services provided directly to customers from selling, general and administrative to other costs of services. The Company also reclassified certain hosting and related software costs for directly supporting the Company's customers from selling, general and administrative to other costs of services. Prior period results have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company discloses the following non-GAAP financial measures in this earnings release:

• Adjusted Income Before Taxes from Continuing Operations. Adjusted income before taxes from continuing operations equals net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to i3 Verticals Inc., adjusted to add back net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to non-controlling interest and to exclude certain items on a pre-tax basis which the Company believes may not fully reflect our underlying operating performance. The Company believes that this non-GAAP measure provides useful information to investors in understanding and evaluating the Company’s results of continuing operations and ongoing operational performance on a pre-tax basis.
• Adjusted Net Income from Continuing Operations and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share from Continuing Operations. Adjusted net income from continuing operations equals adjusted income before taxes from continuing operations as described above, adjusted to give effect to an effective tax rate of 25%, which reflects our estimated long-term effective tax rate, considering blended federal and state tax rates. Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations equals adjusted net income from continuing operations divided by our adjusted weighted average shares of adjusted diluted Class A common stock outstanding. The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors in understanding and evaluating the Company’s results of continuing operations and ongoing operational performance on a post-tax basis after giving effect to this assumed tax rate. Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share from Continuing Operations has also been utilized as a metric in connection with performance-based equity awards previously granted by the Company to executives.
• Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations and Adjusted EBITDA Margin from Continuing Operations. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations equals net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to i3 Verticals Inc., before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted to add back net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to non-controlling interest, and to exclude certain items which the Company believes do not fully reflect our underlying operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue. The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors in understanding and evaluating the Company’s results of continuing operations and ongoing operational performance. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin have been metrics utilized in connection with the Company’s short-term annual cash incentive program for executive management.

The Company believes that the disclosure of these non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with useful information in connection with assessing the Company's financial results as described above. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are utilized by management to assess the Company's financial results, evaluate the Company's business, manage budgets, allocate resources, and make operational decisions. The Company believes that disclosure of these non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with additional information to help them better understand our financial results just as management utilizes these non-GAAP financial measures as described above. Although these non-GAAP financial measures assist in measuring the Company's financial 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.

See below for reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this release.
