How this balance works

Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.

It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.

Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

4 terms

gaap financial

"GAAP revenue increased 8.8%"

GAAP, or Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, are a set of standardized rules and guidelines that companies follow when preparing their financial statements. They ensure consistency, transparency, and comparability across different companies, making it easier for investors to understand and compare financial information accurately. This helps investors make informed decisions based on trustworthy and uniform financial reports.

View in glossary

non-gaap financial

"Non-GAAP adjusted revenue increased 7.2%"

Non-GAAP refers to financial measures that companies use to show their earnings or performance without including certain expenses or income that are often added back to give a different picture. It matters because it can make a company's results look better or more favorable, but it may also hide important costs, so investors need to look at both GAAP (official rules) and non-GAAP numbers to get a full understanding.

View in glossary

diluted earnings per share financial

"Diluted earnings per share | $ 2.28 | | $ 1.97"

Diluted earnings per share is a measure of a company's profit allocated to each share of stock, taking into account all possible shares that could be created through stock options, convertible bonds, or other securities. It shows the lowest possible earnings per share if all these potential shares were issued, helping investors understand the worst-case scenario for their ownership. This figure matters because it provides a more conservative view of a company's profitability per share.

roic financial

"an outstanding ROIC of 23.2%"

Return on invested capital (ROIC) measures how well a company turns the money it uses to run and grow the business into profit, expressed as a percentage. Think of it like how much fruit a tree yields for each seed and watering dollar invested: higher ROIC means management is extracting more value from each dollar put into the company. Investors use it to compare how efficiently different companies deploy capital and whether returns justify the risk of holding the stock.

Operating Results

Revenue, operating expenses, operating income, and net income for the fiscal three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the fiscal three months ended September 30, 2025, were as follows:

Revenue
(Unaudited, dollars in thousands)	Three Months Ended September 30,				% Change
	2026		2025
Revenue
Services and Support	$   404,961		$     376,851		7.5 %
Percentage of Total Revenue	57.7 %		58.5 %

Percentage of Total Revenue	42.3 %		41.5 %
REVENUE	$    701,547		$    644,738		8.8 %

• Services and support revenue increased for the fiscal three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the fiscal three months ended September 30, 2025, primarily driven by growth in hosting revenue of 11.7% as new and existing clients continue to migrate to our private cloud and processing volumes expand, an increase in deconversion revenue of $9,292, as well as an increase in software usage revenue of 9.9%, partially offset by the decrease in revenue related to the timing of our Connect conference, which was held in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 and the second quarter of 2027. Processing revenue increased for the fiscal three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the fiscal three months ended September 30, 2025, mainly driven by growth in card revenue of 9.4% from monthly service and risk management fees, improvement in digital and transaction revenue of 13.3% from a higher number of active users on our digital platform and from the ramping up of additional products, as well as a rise in faster payments revenue of 43.8% from expanding transactional volumes.
• For the fiscal three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the fiscal three months ended September 30, 2025, core segment revenue increased 7.1%, payments segment revenue increased 9.2%, complementary segment revenue increased 10.4%, and corporate services segment revenue increased 6.2%. For the fiscal three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the fiscal three months ended September 30, 2025, core segment non-GAAP adjusted revenue increased 4.9%, payments segment non-GAAP adjusted revenue increased 8.3%, complementary segment non-GAAP adjusted revenue increased 8.4%, and corporate services non-GAAP adjusted segment revenue increased 5.2%. Total non-GAAP adjusted revenue increased 7.2% for the same comparative periods (see revenue lines of segment break-out tables on pages 5 and 6 below for a reconciliation of GAAP segment revenue to non-GAAP adjusted segment revenue).

• Cost of revenue increased for the fiscal three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the fiscal three months ended September 30, 2025, primarily due to higher personnel costs, including compensation and benefit costs, partly related to trailing twelve month headcount growth, higher direct costs generally consistent with increases in related lines of revenue, higher cloud consumption costs, including artificial intelligence and security costs, increased licenses and fees, including infrastructure costs, as well as higher amortization of intangibles, partially offset by the increase in labor cost deferral.
• Research and development expense increased for the fiscal three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the fiscal three months ended September 30, 2025, primarily due to higher personnel costs (net of capitalization), including compensation and benefit costs, partly related to trailing twelve month headcount growth.
• Selling, general, and administrative expense decreased for the fiscal three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the fiscal three months ended September 30, 2025, mainly due to lower expenses related to the timing of our Connect conference.

• Effective tax rates for the fiscal three months ended September 30, 2026, and September 30, 2025, were 23.8% and 24.3%, respectively.

According to Mimi Carsley, CFO and Treasurer, "During the first quarter of the fiscal year, we delivered solid 7.2% non-GAAP revenue growth aided by key areas such as Cloud, Card, and Digital, with continued Faster Payments momentum. Revenue growth and leverage in our business model contributed to non-GAAP operating income margin of 28.2% and an outstanding ROIC of 23.2%"

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.

*GAAP revenue is comprised of services and support and processing revenues (see page 2). Services and support revenue less deconversion revenue for the fiscal three months ended September 30, 2026, and 2025, which was $17,918 for the current fiscal year quarter and $8,626 for the prior fiscal year quarter, results in non-GAAP adjusted services and support revenue growth of 5.1% compared to the prior fiscal year quarter. Processing revenue less revenue excluding the effects of a prior year acquisition for the fiscal three months ended September 30, 2026, of $1,451, results in non-GAAP adjusted processing revenue growth of 10.2% compared to the prior fiscal year quarter.

**Non-GAAP adjusted operating margin is calculated by dividing non-GAAP adjusted operating income by non-GAAP adjusted revenue.

***The non-GAAP net income adjustments below are first listed before tax and then the tax impact is presented as a combined tax impact of all adjustments. The tax impact of adjustments is calculated using a tax rate of 24% for the fiscal three months ended September 30, 2026, and 2025. The tax rate for non-GAAP adjustment items takes a broad look at the Company's 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 segment revenue, adjusted operating income, adjusted segment income, adjusted cost of revenue, adjusted segment 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, free cash flow conversion,  net operating profit after tax return on invested capital (NOPAT ROIC), and non-GAAP adjusted net income. We also present key revenue, which is the sum of cloud services revenue and processing revenue, and non-key revenue, which is all other GAAP revenue. Key revenue and non-key revenue are components of GAAP revenue and are presented because management views key revenue as the strategic recurring revenue of the business most important for long-term growth.

We believe non-GAAP financial measures help investors better understand the underlying fundamentals and operating performance of our business. Adjusted revenue, adjusted segment revenue, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted segment income, adjusted segment income margin, adjusted cost of revenue, adjusted segment cost of revenue, adjusted operating expenses, and adjusted net income eliminate deconversion revenue and associated costs, the gain on assets, net, and an acquisition, 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 income, net, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, adjusted for net income before the effect of interest income, net, taxes, depreciation, and amortization attributable to eliminated deconversions, the gain on assets, net, and an acquisition. 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. NOPAT ROIC is defined as operating income for the trailing four quarters multiplied by one minus the average effective tax rate (ETR) for the trailing four quarters, with the result divided by average invested capital (average of the beginning and ending period balances). Free cash flow conversion is defined as free cash flow, less proceeds from sale of assets, divided by net income.  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 does not consider indicative of the Company's ongoing operating performance; 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; free cash flow conversion is useful to measure the efficiency with which operating results are converted into free cash flow; and NOPAT 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.

FAQ for Analysts / Investors

(Dollars in thousands)

1.  Why does Core segment revenue growth appear  to have moderated this quarter?

• The current quarter is being compared against a prior year period that included elevated one-time revenues from on-premise implementations and consulting engagements. Excluding those one-time items, growth in key recurring areas of the Core segment grew 8.6%, which is a positive indicator of the ongoing strength of the segment.

2.  Why did the Company rename "Public and Private Cloud" revenue to "Cloud Services"?

• The Company made this change beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2027 to simplify presentation and improve clarity. This does not represent any change to the products or services we offer or to previously reported financial results, and prior period amounts are presented on a consistent basis.

3.  What were the first quarter of fiscal 2026 segment reclassifications?

• During the first quarter of fiscal 2027, the Company transferred a product from the Core segment to the Complementary segment for better alignment. Therefore, first quarter of fiscal 2026 results were recast. Revenue of $5,292 and cost of revenue of $746 were reclassified. Other reclassifications unrelated to the product transfer noted above were $757 of cost of revenue reclassified from Core to Corporate Services to align with current allocation of cost of revenue by segment. These changes are segment-level only and do not affect consolidated results.

4.  What is the timing of the Connect Conference?

• The Connect Conference is Jack Henry's annual client conference. The revenue and expenses associated with the conference are included in the Corporate Services segment.  The event was held in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 and is in the the second quarter of fiscal 2027.  The event will be held in the second quarter for the next four years.

FAQ

AI-generated questions and answers. How Rhea-AI works. Not financial advice.

What were Jack Henry's fiscal first-quarter 2027 earnings and revenue?

Jack Henry reported diluted EPS of $2.28 and revenue of $701.547 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026. EPS increased 15.6% and revenue increased 8.8% from the prior-year quarter. Net income rose 11.4% to $160.412 million.

What is JKHY's fiscal 2027 guidance?

Jack Henry expects fiscal 2027 GAAP revenue of $2,698 million–$2,718 million, operating margin of 24.7%–24.9%, and EPS of $7.47–$7.51. Adjusted guidance calls for revenue of $2,667 million–$2,687 million and operating margin of 24.1%–24.3%. The outlook assumes no acquisitions or dispositions during fiscal 2027.

What adjustments did Jack Henry make to its fiscal first-quarter 2027 non-GAAP results?

Jack Henry excluded deconversions and the effects of the prior-year Victor Technologies acquisition from current-quarter adjusted results. Revenue adjustments removed $17.918 million of deconversion revenue and $1.451 million of acquisition revenue. The prior-year comparison excluded deconversions and a $3.796 million net gain on assets.

Why did Jack Henry's fiscal first-quarter 2027 costs increase?

Higher personnel costs contributed to increases in both cost of revenue and research and development expense. Cost of revenue also reflected higher direct costs, cloud consumption costs including artificial intelligence and security, licenses and infrastructure fees, and intangible amortization. Increased labor cost deferral partly offset those increases.
