    --  Cost of revenue increased for the three months ended December 31, 2024,
        primarily due to higher direct costs generally consistent with increases

        benefits expenses from an increase in employee headcount in the trailing
        twelve months. Cost of revenue increased for the six months ended
        December 31, 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 and six months
        ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to higher personnel costs (net of

        headcount in the trailing twelve months.
    --  Selling, general, and administrative expense increased for the three
        months ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to higher personnel costs

        the trailing twelve months. Selling, general, and administrative expense
        decreased for the six months ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to
        the decrease in non-recurring personnel costs when compared to the prior
        fiscal year period.

     According to Mimi Carsley, CFO and Treasurer, "Our second quarter results included non-GAAP revenue growth of over 6%, led by our key revenue areas of public and private cloud and processing, which combined to grow by nearly 9%. That strong revenue growth and the
      leverage provided by our SaaS business model led to non-GAAP operating income growth of over 7%."

      **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 December 31, 2024, and 2023 which was $69 for the current fiscal year quarter and $4,882
       for the prior fiscal year quarter, results in non-GAAP adjusted services and support revenue growth of 5.2% quarter over quarter. There were no non-GAAP adjustments to processing revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2024, or 2023.


      Reducing services and support revenue by deconversion revenue for the six months ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, which was $3,766 for the current fiscal year period and $9,018 for the prior fiscal year period, results in non-GAAP adjusted services and support
       revenue growth of 4.8% period over period. There were no non-GAAP adjustments to processing revenue for the six months ended December 31, 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 and six months ended December 31, 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.

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 related to a Company voluntary separation program offered to certain eligible employees beginning in July 2023, 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.
