    --  Cost of revenue increased for the three months ended December 31, 2023,

        personnel costs due to an increase in employee headcount in the trailing
        twelve months. Cost of revenue increased for the six months ended

        increases in the related revenue, higher personnel costs due to an

        increased internal licenses and fees.
    --  Research and development expense decreased for the three months ended

        the trailing twelve months. Research and development expense increased
        for the six months ended December 31, 2023, primarily due to higher

    --  Selling, general, and administrative expense increased for the three
        months ended December 31, 2023, primarily due to higher personnel costs
        from increased medical insurance and commissions, increased travel and
        entertainment, and meeting expenses, both related to user group meetings
        during the current quarter. Selling, general, and administrative expense
        increased for the six months ended December 31, 2023, primarily due to
        higher personnel costs from the voluntary employee departure incentive
        payment (VEDIP) program(7) of $16,443,7 and a decrease in the gain on
        sale of assets, net, period over period.

     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.

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.
