• At March 31, 2019, the ratio of consolidated debt-to-EBITDA, as defined in the Company's Senior Secured Credit Facility, was 2.06x. Giving effect to the two acquisitions since March 31, 2019 discussed below, the Company's consolidated debt-to-EBITDA ratio is currently approximately 2.75x.
• Since the first quarter earnings release issued on February 13, 2019, and as previously announced in our press releases dated March 4, 2019 and April 8, 2019, the Company completed three acquisitions focused on its Public Sector vertical. Two of the acquisitions were completed during the second quarter, with the third acquisition, NET Data, completed subsequent to March 31, 2019.
• Effective May 1, 2019, the Company completed an acquisition in the Education vertical, which is the Company's first acquisition in this vertical since its initial public offering. This acquisition expands the Company's geographic reach within the Education vertical, primarily in large states such as Florida and Texas, and also enhances the software offered to this market. The up-front cash consideration for this acquisition was $10.0 million.
• On May 9, 2019, the Company closed an amended $300 million Senior Secured Credit Facility. The new credit facility is an all-revolver structure and was led by Bank of America, N.A., with Fifth Third Bank serving as joint bookrunner. The maximum senior debt-to-EBITDA ratio permitted under the credit facility is 3.75x, with a step-down to 3.50x. Reductions in interest rate spreads were also achieved in the amended facility.

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.

Greg Daily, Chairman and CEO of i3 Verticals, commented, “We are proud of our second quarter performance. Our recent acquisitions have significantly expanded our presence within our Public Sector vertical. We have now completed six Public Sector acquisitions, and five of those were completed subsequent to our IPO. The Public Sector vertical will be a focus for our company going forward.

“We are also excited to complete an acquisition within our Education vertical. The Education vertical is a priority for i3 Verticals, and we believe in the long-term potential of this market. We believe the expanded national footprint within Education provided by our recent acquisition will enable greater growth potential for the Education market. 

“We also are pleased to announce the completion of our new credit facility. Our acquisition pipeline remains strong, and our expanded borrowing capacity will help to enable us to continue to execute strategic acquisitions in our target vertical markets. We appreciate the support we received from our bank group.”

In conclusion, Daily added, “While acquisitions have driven much of our communication to the market, we are pleased with our core performance. We continue to focus on building our technology to fuel further organic growth. The progress of our existing team coupled with our recent acquisitions gives us great confidence in our future growth opportunities.”

2019 Outlook

The Company announced that it is maintaining its guidance issued on April 8, 2019, in connection with the Net Data acquisition.  The Company will include expectations for the acquisition within its Education vertical as part of its fiscal 2020 guidance, but for the remaining months of the fiscal year ending September 30, 2019, the acquisition is not expected to be significant as schools will be closed during the summer months.

(in thousands, except per share amounts)	Outlook Range
	Fiscal year ending September 30, 2019
Adjusted net revenue(1) (non-GAAP)	$	127,000	-	$	133,000
Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP)	$	36,500	-	$	39,500
Adjusted diluted earnings per share(2) (non-GAAP)	$	0.85	-	$	0.90

_______________________

1. Under GAAP, companies must adjust, as necessary, beginning balances of acquired deferred revenue to fair value as part of acquisition accounting as defined by GAAP. For the 2019 outlook, the Company has removed the effect of these adjustments to acquisition date fair value from acquisitions that have closed as of the earnings release date.
2. Assumes an effective pro forma tax rate of 25.0% (non-GAAP).

With respect to the “2019 Outlook,” reconciliation of adjusted net revenue, adjusted EBITDA and 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.

Non-GAAP Measures

This press release contains information prepared in conformity with GAAP as well as non-GAAP information. It is management’s intent to provide non-GAAP financial information to enhance understanding of the Company's consolidated financial information as prepared in accordance with GAAP. This non-GAAP information should be considered by the reader in addition to, but not instead of, the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The non-GAAP financial information presented may be determined or calculated differently by other companies.

Additional information about non-GAAP financial measures, including, but not limited to, adjusted net revenue, pro forma adjusted net income, adjusted EBITDA and pro forma adjusted diluted EPS, and a reconciliation of those measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is included on pages 10 through 12 in the financial schedules of this release.

All statements other than statements of historical fact or relating to present facts or current conditions included in this release are forward-looking statements, including any statements regarding guidance and statements of a general economic or industry specific nature. Forward-looking statements give the Company's current expectations and projections relating to its financial condition, results of operations, guidance, plans, objectives, future performance and business. You generally can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements may include words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “plan,” “intend,” “believe,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could have,” “exceed,” “significantly,” “likely” and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of the timing or nature of future operating or financial performance or other events.

The forward-looking statements contained in this release (such as our acquisition pipeline and our 2019 outlook) are based on assumptions that we have made in light of the Company's industry experience and its perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors we believe are appropriate under the circumstances. As you review and consider information presented herein, you should understand that these statements are not guarantees of future performance or results. They depend upon future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties (many of which are beyond the Company's control) and assumptions. Although we believe that these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, you should be aware that many factors could affect the Company's actual future performance or results and cause them to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements. Certain of these factors and other risks are discussed in the Company's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and include, but are not limited to: (i) the ability to generate revenues sufficient to maintain profitability and positive cash flow; (ii) competition in the Company's industry and the ability to compete effectively; (iii) the dependence on non-exclusive distribution partners to market the Company's products and services; (iv) the ability to keep pace with rapid developments and changes in the Company's industry and provide new products and services; (v) liability and reputation damage from unauthorized disclosure, destruction or modification of data or disruption of the Company's services; (vi) technical, operational and regulatory risks related to the Company's information technology systems and third-party providers’ systems; (vii) reliance on third parties for significant services; (viii) exposure to economic conditions and political risks affecting consumer and commercial spending, including the use of credit cards; (ix) the ability to increase the Company's existing vertical markets, expand into new vertical markets and execute the Company's growth strategy; (x) the ability to successfully identify acquisition targets, complete those acquisitions and effectively integrate those acquisitions into the Company's services; (xi) degradation of the quality of the Company's products, services and support; (xii) the ability to retain clients, many of which are small- and medium-sized businesses, which can be difficult and costly to retain; (xiii) the Company's ability to successfully manage its intellectual property; (xiv) the ability to attract, recruit, retain and develop key personnel and qualified employees; (xv) risks related to laws, regulations and industry standards; (xvi) the Company's indebtedness and potential increases in its indebtedness; (xvii) operating and financial restrictions imposed by the Company's senior secured credit facility; and (xviii) the risk factors included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2018. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of these assumptions prove incorrect, the Company's actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements.

Any forward-looking statement made by us in this release speaks only as of the date of this release. Factors or events that could cause the Company's actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them.

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.
