•Adjusted EBITDA1 as a percentage of revenue was 24.7%, compared to 23.6% in the prior year's first quarter.
•Diluted net loss per share available to Class A common stock was $0.11, compared to diluted net loss per share available to Class A common stock of $0.10 in the prior year's first quarter.
•Pro forma adjusted diluted earnings per share1, which gives pro forma effect to the Company's tax rate, was $0.35 compared to $0.21 for the prior year's first quarter.
•Integrated payments2 were 61% of payment volume for the first quarter ended December 31, 2021.
•Software and related services revenue3 as a percentage of total revenue was 49% and 38% for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
•As of December 31, 2021, consolidated interest coverage ratio was 9.18x, total leverage ratio was 3.82x and consolidated senior leverage ratio was 2.18x. These ratios are defined in the Company's Senior Secured Credit Facility.
•Annualized Recurring Revenue ("ARR")4 for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $240.4 million and $157.5 million, respectively, representing a period-to-period growth rate of 52.7%.
•As previously announced in our press release on January 4, 2022, the Company acquired a business effective December 31, 2021, that further strengthens the Company's Public Sector Vertical. The acquired business provides solutions for court system data management in the southeast and mid-Atlantic. Among other solutions, this business provides software products that enable electronic filing, case management and document imaging. Total purchase consideration was $38.7 million, including $35.0 million in cash consideration, funded by proceeds from the Company's revolving credit facility, and $3.7 million of contingent consideration. The aggregate maximum contingent consideration payable for these acquisitions is up to $10.0 million, subject to the satisfaction of certain growth metrics over established time periods.
1.Represents a non-GAAP financial measure. For additional information (including reconciliation information), see the attached schedules to this release.
2.Integrated payments represents payment transactions that are generated in situations where payment technology is embedded within the Company's own proprietary software, a client’s software or critical business process.
3.Software and related services revenue includes the sale of licenses, subscriptions, installation and implementation services, and ongoing support specific to software.
4.Annualized Recurring Revenue (ARR) is the annualized revenue derived from 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. This excludes contracts that are not recurring or are one-time in nature. The Company focuses on ARR because it helps i3 to assess the health and trajectory of the business. 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. 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 proud to deliver another strong quarter, as we once again set new company records in quarterly revenue and adjusted EBITDA. We continue to execute on our vertical market software strategy, as our software and related services revenue grew to 49% of our total revenue for the quarter, surpassing payments revenue for the first time.
“We previously announced a Public Sector acquisition, effective December 31, which expands our software platform and services within that vertical market. We see great opportunity within the Public Sector market and this acquisition has been a fantastic fit with our existing team and products. Our momentum across the company gives us confidence in delivering strong results in the future.”
Revised 2022 Outlook
The Company's practice is to provide annual guidance, excluding future acquisitions and transaction-related costs.
The Company is providing the following revised outlook for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2022:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| (in thousands, except share and per share amounts) | Previous Outlook Range | | Revised Outlook Range |
| Fiscal year ending September 30, 2022 |
| Revenue | $ | 280,000 | | - | $ | 300,000 | | | $ | 288,000 | | - | $ | 304,000 | |
Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) | $ | 70,000 | | - | $ | 78,000 | | | $ | 74,000 | | - | $ | 80,000 | |
Pro forma adjusted diluted earnings per share(1)(non-GAAP) | $ | 1.25 | | - | $ | 1.40 | | | $ | 1.28 | | - | $ | 1.42 | |
_______________________
1.Assumes an effective pro forma tax rate of 25.0% (non-GAAP).
With respect to the “Revised 2022 Outlook” above, reconciliation of net revenue, adjusted EBITDA and pro forma adjusted diluted earnings per share guidance to the closest corresponding GAAP measure on a forward-looking basis is 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.

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company believes that non-GAAP financial measures are important to enable investors to understand and evaluate its ongoing operating results. Accordingly, i3 Verticals includes non-GAAP financial measures when reporting its financial results to shareholders and potential investors in order to provide them with an additional tool to evaluate the Company’s ongoing business operations. i3 Verticals believes that the non-GAAP financial measures are representative of comparative financial performance that reflects the economic substance of i3 Verticals’ current and ongoing business operations.
Although non-GAAP financial measures are often used to measure the Company's operating results and assess its financial performance, they are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation. i3 Verticals believes that its provision of non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with important key financial performance indicators that are utilized by management to assess the Company's operating results, evaluate the business and make operational decisions on a prospective, going-forward basis. Hence, management provides disclosure of non-GAAP financial measures to give shareholders and potential investors an opportunity to see i3 Verticals as viewed by management, to assess i3 Verticals with some of the same tools that management utilizes internally and to be able to compare such information with prior periods. i3 Verticals believes that inclusion of non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with additional information to help them better understand its financial statements just as management utilizes these non-GAAP financial measures to better understand the business, manage budgets and allocate resources.
