24h Move is the share-price change in the day after each event; other market factors may also have contributed.
Recent news has been a mix of operational updates, client wins, and ESG disclosures. Commercially positive items (deconversion revenue upside, tech-spend survey) saw modest positive reactions, while a notable bank win coincided with a larger one-day decline, indicating the stock does not always reward clearly positive fundamentals immediately.
Over the last few months, Jack Henry has highlighted client activity, market positioning, and corporate initiatives. On Mar 24, it announced new core and digital banking wins with FM BANK and Quoin Financial Bank. In April, it released its 2026 Sustainability Report and scheduled the Q3 earnings webcast for May 6. It then disclosed stronger deconversion revenue and a survey showing rising tech budgets. Today’s Q3 results and raised guidance build directly on that backdrop of solid demand and client engagement.

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
We believe non-GAAP financial measures help investors better understand the underlying fundamentals and true operations 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 one-time deconversion revenue and associated costs, the gain on assets, net, an acquisition, and a contractual change, 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 one-time deconversions, the gain on assets, net, an acquisition, and a contractual change. 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). 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 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
1.) Why does fiscal 2025 non-GAAP revenue used for growth calculation not match reported fiscal 2025 non-GAAP revenue?
- The restructuring of a third-party agreement has resulted in a
fiscal year-over-year revenue headwind, with$16 million of that coming in the first quarter and$12 million additional in the second and third quarters.$3 million
- The remaining
is expected to impact the fourth quarter.$1 million
- This restructuring has also resulted in a decrease in the related costs and the impact on margins is expected to be minimal.
- This has been adjusted for a consistent fiscal year-over-year comparison and is included in our fiscal year 2026 guidance (see page 9).
2.) What are some key elements of the outlook for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026?
- We expect the year-over-year revenue growth rates to slow slightly as we face overall tougher prior year comparables from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025.
- We expect some contraction in margins in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to the fiscal year-to-date period margins that positively benefited from lower than normal expense for medical claims under our self-insured employee healthcare plan, especially during the first and second quarters.
