The Company is providing the following outlook for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026:

With respect to the “2026 Outlook” above, reconciliations of adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations and adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations guidance to the closest corresponding GAAP measure on a forward-looking basis are 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 discloses the following non-GAAP financial measures in this earnings release:

• Adjusted Income Before Taxes from Continuing Operations. Adjusted income before taxes from continuing operations equals net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to i3 Verticals Inc., adjusted to add back net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to non-controlling interest and to exclude certain items on a pre-tax basis which the Company believes may not fully reflect our underlying operating performance. The Company believes that this non-GAAP measure provides useful information to investors in understanding and evaluating the Company’s results of continuing operations and ongoing operational performance on a pre-tax basis.
• Adjusted Net Income from Continuing Operations and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share from Continuing Operations. Adjusted net income from continuing operations equals adjusted income before taxes from continuing operations as described above, adjusted to give effect to an effective tax rate of 25%, which reflects our estimated long-term effective tax rate, considering blended federal and state tax rates. Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations equals adjusted net income from continuing operations divided by our adjusted weighted average shares of adjusted diluted Class A common stock outstanding. The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors in understanding and evaluating the Company’s results of continuing operations and ongoing operational performance on a post-tax basis after giving effect to this assumed tax rate. Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share from Continuing Operations has also been utilized as a metric in connection with performance-based equity awards previously granted by the Company to executives.
• Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations and Adjusted EBITDA Margin from Continuing Operations. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations equals net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to i3 Verticals Inc., before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted to add back net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to non-controlling interest, and to exclude certain items which the Company believes do not fully reflect our underlying operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue. The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors in understanding and evaluating the Company’s results of continuing operations and ongoing operational performance. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin have been metrics utilized in connection with the Company’s short-term annual cash incentive program for executive management.

The Company believes that the disclosure of these non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with useful information in connection with assessing the Company's financial results as described above. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are utilized by management to assess the Company's financial results, evaluate the Company's business, manage budgets, allocate resources, and make operational decisions. The Company believes that disclosure of these non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with additional information to help them better understand our financial results just as management utilizes these non-GAAP financial measures as described above. Although these non-GAAP financial measures assist in measuring the Company's financial results and assessing its financial performance, they are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation.

See below for reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this release.
