Cost of revenue increased for the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to higher direct costs generally consistent with increases in the related lines of revenue, higher personnel costs including benefits expenses from an increase in employee headcount in the trailing twelve months, higher internal licenses and fees from increased deployments and prices, and a rise in amortization from capital development projects placed into service in the trailing twelve months.Research and development expense increased for the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to higher personnel costs (net of capitalization) including benefits expenses from an increase in employee headcount in the trailing twelve months.Selling, general, and administrative expense decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to the decrease in non-recurring costs when compared to the prior fiscal year quarter.

Effective tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, were 24.0% and 23.7%, respectively.

According to Mimi Carsley, CFO and Treasurer, “For the first quarter of the fiscal year, revenue and operating margins were aligned with our plan and expectations and we continue to expect stronger performance in the second half of our fiscal year. Our private cloud revenue grew over 11% and processing services continued to drive strong revenue growth at over 6%, each contributing to our overall revenue expansion of over 5% and operating income increase of 2% on a non-GAAP basis.”

6Operating 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.

*The VEDIP program expense for the fiscal three months ended September 30, 2024, was related to a Company voluntary separation program offered to certain eligible employees beginning in July 2023.

**GAAP revenue is comprised of services and support and processing revenues (see page 2). Reducing services and support revenue by deconversion revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023 which was $3,697 for the current fiscal year quarter and $4,136 for the prior fiscal year quarter, results in non-GAAP adjusted services and support revenue growth of 4.4% quarter over quarter. There were no non-GAAP adjustments to processing revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2024, or 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 months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023. The 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.

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.

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), non-GAAP adjusted net income, and non-GAAP earnings per share (EPS).

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, adjusted net income, and non-GAAP EPS eliminate one-time deconversion revenue and associated costs and the effects of the VEDIP program expense, 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 and the VEDIP program expense. 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.

Quarterly Conference Call

A webcast replay will be available approximately one hour after the event at ir.jackhenry.com/corporate-events-and-presentations and will remain available for one year.

November 27, 2024

MANILA, Philippines, Nov. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Artificial intelligence (AI) is proving to be one of the most transformative technological revolutions since the advent of the internet. Unlike paradigm shifts in technology of the past, the present AI boom is largely driven by existing software instead of new innovations, with AI practitioners seeking to seamlessly integrating AI into existing applications to immediately unlock industrial and commercial value for the user.

At the core of AI adoption lies a decentralized approach, which encourages users and developers to create tailored solutions based on specific needs, thus fostering a self-sustaining ecosystem. In the recruitment field, Bossjob is pioneering yet another new application of AI, this time into job descriptions.

On November 27, Bossjob, a global AI-driven recruitment platform, unveiled its AI translation feature with the goal of ensuring all jobs, in whichever language they are posted, are easily understandable by the jobseeker in their native language.

“In the field of recruitment, globalization in the marketplace for talent faces a primary challenge: language differences between different operating regions, especially for one as fragmented and diverse as South East Asia. As a global AI recruitment platform, Bossjob is consistantly looking out for ways to bridge essential but difficult divides like these.” stated Quak Kiat How, CFO of Bossjob.

Globalization Requires Overcoming the Digital Divide

As global economic integration and technological innovation advance, more businesses are venturing into international markets. In 2024, numerous Chinese enterprises embarked on the vessel of global expansion, while native globalized companies continue accelerating their international efforts.

However, these disparities in access to information, internet technologies, and innovation capabilities between countries, regions, industries, companies, and communities have exacerbated the digital divide, leading to further polarization of wealth and opportunities. These gaps reflect not just technological limitations but also deep-rooted socioeconomic challenges, underscoring the pressing need for inclusive solutions.

Cultural differences such as language, religion, values, and business practices further complicate overseas expansion. Many HR professionals have reported that existing recruitment platforms primarily focus on matching resumes with job descriptions on a single dimension, overlooking critical variables such as language nuances and the implicit requirements within job postings.

Kiat highlighted that traditional model of recruitment platforms no longer meet the demands of a new generation, and the recruitment industry is poised for a transformative shift in service models.

AI: Redefining Recruitment Efficiency and Experience

At its core, recruitment addresses the need for matching people with jobs. Precision and efficiency are the cornerstones of value for both businesses and job seekers. With the application of AI, the recruitment process is being reimagined, introducing profound changes to hiring and job-hunting practices.

Kiat believes that, the traditional cycle of resume submissions and screenings may soon become obsolete. By allowing AI access to more comprehensive data, platforms can generate multidimensional profiles reflecting a candidate’s skills, career history, and potential, eliminating the need for manual resume creation. Similarly, AI-generated job and candidate models can streamline initial screenings, allowing recruiters and applicants to engage directly at advanced stages of the hiring process.

Bossjob is leveraging AI to continually enhance its services. For instance, the newly launched AI translation tool eliminates language barriers in recruitment, enabling seamless communication and efficient processes. The platform’s real-time, precise translations prevent delays and miscommunication, particularly for remote roles. Users can easily toggle between translated and original job descriptions for clarity.

Beyond translation, Bossjob has introduced AI-powered resume analysis, enabling HR teams to evaluate candidates’ compatibility with company cultures using big data insights. These tools have simplified workflows and significantly improved matching efficiency.

Exploring New Frontiers with AI

Bossjob’s AI-driven innovations extend beyond traditional recruitment, addressing emerging domains like Web3 and remote work. Official data reveals a tenfold increase in daily active users on the platform’s Web3 job listings, with employer activity rising by 20% since January. This trend underscores the untapped market potential unlocked by AI-powered solutions.

Since its inception, Bossjob has pioneered AI applications in recruitment through its “Mobile + Direct Chat + AI Scenario-based Features” (MDD) model. This approach integrates real-time messaging into recruitment workflows, leveraging advanced algorithms and big data to recommend highly compatible candidates to employers and personalized job matches to seekers. This precision matching reduces hiring costs for businesses while accelerating job seekers’ success rates.

Committed to continuous innovation, Bossjob has significantly invested in R&D to enhance its AI capabilities, building robust user trust and product credibility. Looking ahead, the platform plans to roll out additional features, including AI-simulated interviews, to meet diverse global recruitment needs.

Kiat stated, “We hope to continuously upgrade AI features and build an AI ecosystem that offers more efficient and intelligent recruitment services for companies while providing job seekers with more convenient and effective job search assistance, driving the global talent market’s growth.”
