Cost of revenue increased for the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to higher direct costs generally consistent with increases in the related lines of revenue and increased internal licenses and fees, partially offset by a rise in labor cost deferral. Cost of revenue increased for the nine months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to higher direct costs generally consistent with increases in the related lines of revenue, compensation increases in the trailing twelve months, higher internal licenses and fees from increased deployments and prices, a rise in amortization from capital development projects placed into service in the trailing twelve months, and increased cloud consumption fees, partially offset by a decrease in license and hardware costs consistent with the decrease in related lines of revenue and a rise in labor cost deferral.Research and development expense increased for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to higher personnel costs (net of capitalization) from compensation increases and employee headcount additions in the trailing twelve months. For the nine months ended March 31, 2025, increased internal licenses and fees was also a contributor.Selling, general, and administrative expense increased for the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to higher personnel costs from compensation increases related to a rise in employee headcount in the trailing twelve months. Selling, general, and administrative expense decreased for the nine months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to the decrease in non-recurring personnel costs when compared to the prior fiscal year period, partially offset by an increase in recurring personnel costs from higher commissions expense and compensation increases related to a rise in employee headcount in the trailing twelve months .

Effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, were 21.7% and 23.7%, respectively. Effective tax rates for the nine months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, were 23.0% and 23.6%, respectively.
According to Mimi Carsley, CFO and Treasurer, “Our third quarter results included strong growth in key areas of our revenue, led by public and private cloud at 12% and processing at nearly 9%. Those results were tempered by mostly non-recurring contraction in some of our non-key revenue areas, including licenses and hardware, leading to overall non-GAAP revenue growth of 7%. That strong revenue growth and our disciplined approach to controlling costs led to non-GAAP operating income growth of over 17%.”
6 Operating 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.

*The VEDIP program expense for the fiscal nine months ended March 31, 2024, was related to a Company voluntary separation program offered to certain eligible employees beginning in July 2023.
**GAAP revenue is comprised of services and support and processing revenues (see page 2). Reducing services and support revenue by deconversion revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024 which was $9,644 for the current fiscal year quarter and $843 for the prior fiscal year quarter, results in non-GAAP adjusted services and support revenue growth of 5.6% quarter over quarter. There were no non-GAAP adjustments to processing revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025, or 2024.
Reducing services and support revenue by deconversion revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, which was $13,410 for the current fiscal year period and $9,861 for the prior fiscal year period, results in non-GAAP adjusted services and support revenue growth of 5.0% period over period. There were no non-GAAP adjustments to processing revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2025, or 2024.
***Non-GAAP adjusted operating margin is calculated by dividing non-GAAP adjusted operating income by non-GAAP adjusted revenue.
****The tax impact of adjustments is calculated using a tax rate of 24% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024. The tax rate for non-GAAP adjustment items takes a broad look at our 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 operating income, adjusted segment income, adjusted 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, return on invested capital (ROIC), non-GAAP adjusted net income, and non-GAAP earnings per share (EPS).
We believe non-GAAP financial measures help investors better understand the underlying fundamentals and true operations of our business. Adjusted revenue, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted segment income, adjusted segment income margin, adjusted cost of revenue, adjusted operating expenses, adjusted net income, and non-GAAP EPS eliminate one-time deconversion revenue and associated costs and the effects of the VEDIP program expense related to a Company voluntary separation program offered to certain eligible employees beginning in July 2023, 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 expense, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, adjusted for net income before the effect of interest expense, taxes, depreciation, and amortization attributable to eliminated one-time deconversions and the VEDIP program expense. 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. ROIC is defined as net income divided by average invested capital, which is the average of beginning and ending long-term debt and stockholders’ equity for a given period. 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 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. What caused the slowing of non-GAAP revenue growth in the 3rd quarter?
Hardware revenue was down $4 million from the prior year quarter. Revenue growth would have been 7.8% overall had hardware revenue remained consistent.Growth in our key areas of revenue (Cloud and Processing revenue) grew at 9.8%, compared to 8.8% a year ago.
2. What are the key factors lowering annual non-GAAP revenue guidance?
The outlook for hardware revenue is down as we are seeing customers delay large capital purchases, possibly due to economic uncertainty.Similar to hardware, we are seeing customers delaying the start of signed non-recurring projects and the implementation of post-core products.Given the recent decline in consumer sentiment, there is risk that we could see lower transaction volumes in the coming months.
3. What caused Core segment revenue growth for the 3rd quarter to lag behind Payments and Complementary?
License and credit union hardware revenue was a drag on Core revenue growth in the 3rd quarter.However, growth in our key areas of revenue, like Cloud, outperformed the prior year’s quarter.
4. What is driving the growth in operating margins?
Growth in the key areas of our business has added new high incremental margin revenue, and we have been disciplined in our approach to compensation, headcount and infrastructure costs throughout the fiscal year.
5. What is the M&A outlook for Jack Henry financial institutions?
We have seen an acceleration of merger activity, including acquisitions of financial institutions by Jack Henry customers.

Global Times: Technology helps restore identities of unknown heroes
Published
2 minutes agoon
June 21, 2026By
BEIJING, June 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — At Fudan University, a group of research teams has spent years using cutting-edge technology to restore the faces of China’s fallen soldiers. After successfully reconstructing the appearances of 10 martyrs who sacrificed their lives during the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45), they have now achieved another breakthrough: recreating the face of an unidentified Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) soldier who sacrificed his life decades ago.
Using DNA analysis, digital archaeology and facial reconstruction technology, a team has restored the appearance of one of the unidentified soldiers whose remains were unearthed from the battlefield.
By restoring the faces of unknown martyrs, researchers aim to allow the public to see them not as abstract figures in history, but as real individuals who lived through extraordinary hardship and made profound sacrifices, Huang Ping, vice dean of the Institute of Forensic Science of Fudan University, told the Global Times.
Tracing the unidentified
Decades ago, more than 300 PLA troops died in fierce fighting at Majitang in Taojiang county, Central China’s Hunan Province.
Many of the soldiers had come from Northeast China and had marched south with the advancing army following the Liaoshen Campaign.
The battle successfully pinned down enemy forces and helped create favorable conditions for the subsequent Hengbao Campaign, a decisive operation that accelerated the liberation of Hunan.
After the fighting ended, local residents buried the fallen soldiers near the battlefield, leaving behind a number of anonymous graves that would remain unidentified for more than 70 years.
In August 2024, China’s National Martyrs’ Remains Search Team launched an archaeological excavation at the Majitang battlefield.
The excavation brought together more than 20 faculty members and students from Fudan University and Wuhan University. Specialists were divided into teams responsible for excavation, cleaning, anthropological analysis, three-dimensional modeling, sample collection and remains preservation, according to CCTV News.
The remains had been buried outdoors for more than 75 years, leaving them exposed to moisture, soil erosion and environmental degradation. Extracting usable DNA from such fragile material was far from guaranteed.
“Exhumation is an extremely serious matter. We cannot take all samples back with us; DNA collection must be completed quickly on site, and we only have one chance to choose,” said Huang.
In theory, teeth are the first choice, followed by dense bone. However, most of the remains recovered from Majitang had no teeth, and intact skulls were extremely rare, with most consisting only of fragments.
“We can only rely on experience and try to select the densest structures possible,” she said.
A total of 57 human remains were recovered during the excavation, and forensic analysis indicates they belong to at least nine martyrs. Among the nine sets of remains, one skull was relatively well preserved.
According to Huang, a clear bullet hole was visible on the surface of the skull. After 3D reconstruction, researchers were able to trace the path of a bullet that penetrated the top of the cranium, which they determined to be the fatal injury.
Based on comparisons with skeletal development models in their database, the researchers estimated that the soldier was around 20 years old at the time of his death.
Science meets remembrance
After multiple rounds of optimization, researchers were able to extract DNA from the recovered remains, with 24 samples ultimately yielding DNA libraries suitable for further analysis.
Researchers first conducted anthropological examinations to determine basic biological characteristics, including sex, age and physical features, providing a precise anatomical foundation for facial reconstruction.
Based on the 3D model, they applied artificial intelligence algorithms to extract key cranial features and gradually reconstruct facial structures.
“The facial reconstruction we use is a generative model that analyzes the biological contours of different individuals’ skulls to reconstruct the appearance of remains, rather than producing a standardized or ‘face-like’ template,” Huang told the Global Times.
“Building on reconstruction based on cranial morphology, we also incorporate supplementary DNA molecular information to refine individualized facial features, such as eyebrow shape and ear structure,” noted Huang.
For the first time in decades, the young soldier’s appearance could be seen again. He has sharp features, a high nose bridge and single eyelids. According to the research team, the reconstruction achieved an estimated accuracy of up to 90 percent.
Searching for a name
Restoring a face is only one step toward restoring an identity.
The next stage involves locating surviving relatives and comparing their DNA with the recovered genetic material.
Authorities have publicly appealed for information and are encouraging anyone with relevant family histories or records to come forward.
For Huang and his colleagues, identifying the soldier would represent more than a scientific achievement.
As many of the soldiers who died in the Majitang battlefield were from Northeast China, the veterans affairs departments in Hunan and Jilin provinces jointly conducted a review to support efforts to locate their families.
They have compiled a list of 40 martyrs and released contact information to collect leads, seeking public assistance in identifying relatives of the young men who died far from home 77 years ago.
The most important thing is the joint effort of government authorities and society as a whole to find leads, Huang said.
Once potential clues are identified, researchers can then trace possible descendants and compare their DNA with the samples collected today to see whether a match can be made.
“That is what we are working on now,” he said.

SINGAPORE, June 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — At Singapore International Water Week (SIWW) 2026, BlueNexus Technologies unveiled the global debut of AquaX Hub™ — a compact plug-and-play edge device that brings full AI-powered autonomous operation to standalone water equipment and legacy treatment plants. The launch drew sustained engagement from utilities, industrial operators and engineering firms.
The water sector confronts converging pressures: aging infrastructure, a critical shortage of skilled technicians, and relentless operational cost escalation. AquaX Hub™ answers these directly — extending the AI autonomous operation already proven plant-wide by AquaX Robot™ to a single asset, and delivering comparable monitoring and operational management without a control-system overhaul.
“The industry cannot hire its way out of this problem,” said Jack Zhang, CEO of BlueNexus Technologies. “AI autonomous operation is no longer a future concept — the barrier to entry is gone.”
The AquaX Ecosystem
BlueNexus has built the industry’s first fully integrated AI autonomous water operation platform, spanning three complementary pillars:
AquaX Robot™ is the flagship plant-wide AI agent, built on large language models with proprietary vision, acoustic and infrared multimodal sensing. It optimizes treatment processes 24/7 and predicts equipment failures. Live deployments show up to 90% reduction in on-site staffing, a 50% drop in equipment breakdowns, and approximately 35% lower O&M costs.
AquaX Hub™, making its global debut at SIWW 2026, is a lightweight edge terminal extending that capability to any water system. With an independent local processing module, it monitors and inspects equipment through multimodal sensing and runs a self-contained processing loop. The device integrates seamlessly with existing SCADA, cloud and enterprise platforms via standardized APIs.
i-WaterHub™, the company’s standardized modular treatment plant, operated autonomously by AquaX Robot, delivers 2,500 to 40,000 m³/day for municipal and industrial applications.
Market Momentum
SIWW 2026 convened nearly 500 exhibitors from over 65 countries. BlueNexus has identified priority markets for AquaX Hub™ in Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Africa. “The conversations this week have already translated into concrete business opportunities and we expect rapid deployment in the coming months.” Zhang confirmed.
About BlueNexus Technologies
BlueNexus Technologies is a Singapore-based water-technology company building intelligent, AI-operated systems for the world’s most water-intensive industries. We design and deliver modular water treatment infrastructure that is smarter to run, faster to deploy, and built to operate autonomously.
