3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the reporting and disclosure rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) which are considered necessary for fair presentation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as of June 30, 2025 and for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.
As permitted by the rules and regulations of the SEC, certain information and disclosures otherwise included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted from the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company believes the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is recommended that these interim condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and related footnotes for the years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2024 filed with the SEC on November 25, 2024.
Principles of Consolidation
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary companies. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Restricted Cash
Restricted cash represents funds held in escrow related to acquisitions or held-on-deposit with the processing bank pursuant to agreements to cover potential merchant losses. It is presented as long-term assets on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets since the related agreements extend beyond the next twelve months. Following the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash (Topic 230), the Company includes restricted cash along with the cash and cash equivalents balance for presentation in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
Settlement Assets and Obligations
Settlement assets and obligations result when funds are temporarily held or owed by the Company on behalf of merchants, consumers, schools, and other institutions. Timing differences, interchange expenses, merchant reserves and exceptional items cause differences between the amount received from the card networks and the amount funded to counterparties. These balances arising in the settlement process are reflected as settlement assets and obligations on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. With the exception of merchant reserves, settlement assets or settlement obligations are generally collected and paid within one to four days . Settlement assets and settlement obligations were $ 18 as of June 30, 2025 and $ 632 as of September 30, 2024, respectively.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified in order to conform with the current period presentation. These reclassifications have no impact on the Company’s previously reported consolidated net income (loss).
Discontinued operations
The results of operations for the Company's Merchant Services Business and Healthcare RCM Business have been reclassified as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Refer to Note 2 for additional information.
Change in presentation of certain costs to other costs of services
Following the disposal of the Company's Merchant Services Business in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024, the Company’s core business has been providing software solutions. Given the change in the Company's business model following the sale of our Merchant Services Business, the Company reclassified certain expenses to better align with the primary industry in which it operates. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, the Company revised its presentation of certain expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations from selling, general and administrative expenses to other costs of services. The Company reclassified personnel costs related to installation of the Company's software, conversion of client data, training client personnel, customer support activities and various other services provided directly to customers from selling, general and administrative to other costs of services. The Company also reclassified certain hosting and related software costs for directly supporting the Company's customers from selling, general and administrative to other costs of services.
Comparative amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. This change has no impact on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows or Condensed Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity.

Inventories
Inventories consist of point-of-sale equipment to be sold to customers and are stated at the lower of cost, determined on a weighted average or specific basis, or net realizable value. Inventories were $ 2,380 and $ 2,423 at June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively, and are included within prepaid expenses and other current assets on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Acquisitions
Business acquisitions have been recorded using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), and, accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair value as of the date of acquisition. Where relevant, the fair value of contingent consideration included in an acquisition is calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation as well as a discounted cash flows analysis. The fair value of customer relationships and non-compete assets acquired is identified using the Income Approach. The fair values of trade names and internally-developed software acquired are identified using the Relief from Royalty Method. After the purchase price has been allocated, goodwill is recorded to the extent the total consideration paid for the acquisition, including the acquisition date fair value of contingent consideration, if any, exceeds the sum of the fair values of the separately identifiable acquired assets and assumed liabilities. Acquisition costs for business combinations are expensed when incurred and recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Acquisitions not meeting the accounting criteria to be accounted for as a business combination are accounted for as an asset acquisition. An asset acquisition is recorded at its purchase price, inclusive of acquisition costs, which is allocated among the acquired assets and assumed liabilities based upon their relative fair values at the date of acquisition.

Lease Expense
Leases are recorded in accordance with ASC 842, Leases ("ASC 842). The Company elected the accounting policy practical expedients for all classes of underlying assets to (i) combine associated lease and non-lease components in a lease arrangement as a combined lease component and (ii) exclude recording short-term leases as right-of-use assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
At contract inception the Company determines whether an arrangement is, or contains a lease, and for each identified lease, evaluates the classification as operating or financing. Leased assets and obligations are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of fixed lease payments to be made over the term of the lease. Renewal and termination options are factored into determination of the lease term only if the option is reasonably certain to be exercised. The Company’s leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit interest rate and the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to measure the lease liability and corresponding right-of-use asset. The incremental borrowing rate is a fully collateralized rate that considers the Company’s credit rating, market conditions and the term of the lease. The Company accounts for all components in a lease arrangement as a single combined lease component.
Operating lease cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Total lease costs include variable lease costs, which are primarily comprised of the consumer price index adjustments and other changes based on rates, such as costs of insurance and property taxes. Variable payments are expensed in the period incurred and not included in the measurement of lease assets and obligations.
Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue
Revenue is recognized as each performance obligation is satisfied, in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The Company accrues for rights of refund, processing errors or penalties, or other related allowances based on historical experience. The Company utilized the portfolio approach practical expedient within ASC 606-10-10-4 Revenue from Contracts with Customers—Objectives and the significant financing component practical expedient within ASC 606-10-32-18 Revenue from Contracts with Customers—The Existence of a Significant Financing Component in the Contract in performing the analysis.

The Company's revenue from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 is derived from the following sources:
• Software and related services — Includes software as a service ("SaaS"), transaction-based fees, ongoing software maintenance and support, software licenses and other professional services related to our software offerings;
• Proprietary payments — Includes volume-based payment processing fees (“discount fees”) and other related fixed transaction or service fees; and
• Other — Includes sales of equipment, non-software related professional services, bundled performance obligations for software sales and equipment leasing and other revenues.
Revenues from the Company’s software are recognized when the related performance obligations are satisfied. Sales of software licenses are categorized into one of two categories of intellectual property in accordance with ASC 606, functional or symbolic. The key distinction is whether the license represents a right to use (functional) or a right to access (symbolic) intellectual property. The Company generates sales of one-time software licenses, which is functional intellectual property, and right to access license sales, which are symbolic intellectual property. Revenue from functional intellectual property is recognized at a point in time, when control of the software license transfers to the customer, while revenue from symbolic intellectual property is recognized over-time, as control transfers to the customer. The Company also generates revenue from maintenance services related to these software licenses, which is recognized over the term of the agreement. The Company also offers access to its software under software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) arrangements, which represent services arrangements, and under which customers do not have the right to take possession of the software. Revenue from SaaS arrangements is recognized over time, over the term of the agreement. Contracts with professional services, such as training or installation, are evaluated to determine if the customer can benefit from these services independently, whether they can be provided by other available resources, or whether they are separately identifiable from other contract promises.
Discount fees represent a percentage of the dollar amount of each credit or debit transaction processed or a specified per transaction amount, depending on the card type. The Company frequently enters into agreements with customers under which the customer engages the Company to provide both payment authorization services and transaction settlement services for all of the cardholder transactions of the customer, regardless of which issuing bank and card network to which the transaction relates. The Company’s core performance obligations are to stand ready to provide continuous access to the Company’s payment authorization services and transaction settlement services in order to be able to process as many transactions as its customers require on a daily basis over the contract term. These services are stand ready obligations, as the nature of the promise is to stand ready to process an undetermined quantity of transactions. Under a stand-ready obligation, the Company’s performance obligation is defined by each time increment rather than by the underlying activities satisfied over time based on days elapsed. Because the service of standing ready is substantially the same each day and has the same pattern of transfer to the customer, the Company has determined that its stand-ready performance obligation comprises a series of distinct days of service. Discount fees are recognized each day based on the volume or transaction count at the time the merchants’ transactions are processed.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(in thousands, except unit, share and per share amounts)
The Company follows the requirements of ASC 606-10-55 Revenue from Contracts with Customers—Principal versus Agent Considerations , which states that the determination of whether a company should recognize revenue based on the gross amount billed to a customer or the net amount retained is a matter of judgment that depends on the facts and circumstances of the arrangement. The determination of gross versus net recognition of revenue requires judgment that depends on whether the Company controls the good or service before it is transferred to the merchant or whether the Company is acting as an agent of a third party. The assessment is provided separately for each performance obligation identified. Under its agreements, the Company incurs interchange and network pass-through charges from the third-party card issuers and card networks, respectively, related to the provision of payment authorization services. The Company has determined that it is acting as an agent with respect to these payment authorization services, based on the following factors: (1) the Company has no discretion over which card issuing bank will be used to process a transaction and is unable to direct the activity of the merchant to another card issuing bank, and (2) interchange and card network rates are pre-established by the card issuers or card networks, and the Company has no latitude in determining these fees. Therefore, revenue allocated to the payment authorization performance obligation is presented net of interchange and card network fees paid to the card issuing bank and card network, respectively, for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
With regards to the Company's discount fees, generally, where the Company has control over merchant pricing, merchant portability, credit risk and ultimate responsibility for the merchant relationship, revenues are reported at the time of sale equal to the full amount of the discount charged to the merchant, less interchange and network fees.
Revenues are also derived from a variety of transaction fees, which are charged for transacting on our proprietary payment facilitator platform and software solutions, and fees for other miscellaneous services. Revenues derived from such fees are recognized in the time the transactions occur and when there are no further performance obligations. Revenue from the sale of equipment, is recognized upon transfer of ownership to the customer, after which there are no further performance obligations.
Arrangements may contain multiple performance obligations, such as payment authorization services, transaction settlement services, hardware, software products, SaaS, maintenance, and professional installation and training services. Revenues are allocated to each performance obligation based on the standalone selling price of each good or service. The selling price for a deliverable is based on standalone selling price, if available, the adjusted market assessment approach, estimated cost plus margin approach, or residual approach. The Company establishes estimated selling price, based on the judgment of the Company's management, considering internal factors such as margin objectives, pricing practices and controls, customer segment pricing strategies and the product life cycle. In arrangements with multiple performance obligations, the Company applies significant judgement in determining the allocation of the transaction price at inception of the arrangement and uses the standalone selling prices for the majority of the Company's revenue recognition.
Revenues from sales of the Company ’ s hardware and software elements are recognized when each performance obligation has been satisfied which has been determined to be upon the delivery of the product. Revenues derived from service fees are recognized over time in accordance with our satisfaction of our performance obligations. Revenue from bundled performance obligations for software sales and equipment leasing is recognized over time as a single performance obligation. Lease income is recognized in accordance with ASC 842, and the leased equipment is classified as fixed assets and depreciated over its useful life. The Company’s professional services, including training, installation, and repair services are recognized as revenue as these services are performed.
ASC 606 provides various optional practical expedients. The Company elected the use of the practical expedient relating to the disclosure of remaining performance obligations within a contract and will not disclose remaining performance obligations for contracts (i) with an original expected duration of one year or less or (ii) in which revenue from the satisfaction of the performance obligations is recognized in the amounts invoiced in accordance with ASC 606-10-55-18. The Company also has additional contracts with an original expected

duration of greater than one year for which revenue had not yet been recognized. These contracts do not allow for termination for convenience, which reduces the risks related to future revenue recognition. The transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations related to these contracts is not considered useful to the users of the financial statements due to the exclusion of certain revenue based on the aforementioned practical expedients.
The tables below present a disaggregation of the Company's revenue from contracts with customers for continuing operations by product by segment. The Company's products are defined as follows:
• Software and related services — Includes SaaS, transaction-based fees, ongoing software maintenance and support, software licenses and other professional services related to our software offerings;
• Proprietary payments — Includes discount fees and other related fixed transaction or service fees; and
• Other — Includes sales of equipment, non-software related professional services, bundled performance obligations for software sales and equipment leasing and other revenues.

Total revenue $ 51,901 $ 46,183 $ 158,257 $ 139,909
Contract Assets
The Company bills for certain software and related services sales and fixed fee professional services upon pre-determined milestones in the contracts. Therefore, the Company may have contract assets other than trade accounts receivable for performance obligations that are partially completed, which would typically represent consulting services provided before a milestone is completed in a contract. Additionally, contract assets also include software licenses sold as a right to use license but paid for under a non-cancellable subscription model. Under this structure, the license revenue is recognized upfront while a portion of the revenue is unbilled. Unbilled amounts associated with these professional services and software licenses sold under the subscription model are presented as accounts receivable as the Company has an unconditional right to payment for services performed.
As of June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, the Company’s contract assets from contracts with customers was $ 9,417 and $ 8,680 , respectively.

Contract Liabilities
Deferred revenue represents amounts billed to customers by the Company for services contracts. Payment is typically collected at the start of the contract term. The initial prepaid contract agreement balance is deferred. The balance is then recognized as the services are provided over the contract term. Deferred revenue that is expected to be recognized as revenue within one year is recorded as short-term deferred revenue and the remaining portion is recorded as other long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The terms for most of the Company's contracts with a deferred revenue component are one year. Substantially all of the Company's deferred revenue is anticipated to be recognized within the next year.

Residual payments to the Company's distribution partners and the cost of equipment sold is also included in cost of services. Amortization arising from capitalized software development is not included in other cost of services. Other costs of services are recognized at the time the related revenue is recognized. Following the disposal of the Company's Merchant Services Business in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024, the Company’s core business has been providing software solutions. Given the change in the Company's business model following the sale of our Merchant Services Business, the Company has reclassified certain expenses to better align with the primary industry in which it operates. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, the Company revised its presentation of certain expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations from selling, general and administrative expenses to other costs of services. The Company reclassified personnel costs related to installation of the Company's software, conversion of client data, training client personnel, customer support activities and various other services provided directly to customers from selling, general and administrative to other costs of services. The Company also reclassified certain hosting and related software costs for directly supporting the Company's customers from selling, general and administrative to other costs of services. Refer to Note 3 for discussion of the change in the current and prior period presentation.
The Company accounts for all governmental taxes associated with revenue transactions on a net basis.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, the value of purchase consideration paid and identifiable assets acquired and assumed in acquisitions, goodwill and intangible asset impairment review, determination of performance obligations for revenue recognition, loss reserves, assumptions used in the calculation of equity-based compensation and in the calculation of income taxes, and certain tax assets and liabilities as well as the related valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Segment Information
The Company has identified its Chief Executive Officer as the Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"). The Company’s CODM reviews discrete financial information on a consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance which is based on consolidated information about our revenues, income from operations, and other key financial data. All significant operating decisions are made by analyzing the Company as a single operating segment and as a result, the Company has determined that it operates as a single reportable segment as of June 30, 2025. See Note 16 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

2020 Exchangeable Notes Offering
On February 18, 2020, i3 Verticals, LLC issued $ 138,000 aggregate principal amount of 1.0 % Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2025 (the “Exchangeable Notes”) in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Company received approximately $ 132,762 in net proceeds from the sale of the Exchangeable Notes, as determined by deducting estimated offering expenses paid to third-parties from the aggregate principal amount.
i3 Verticals, LLC issued the Exchangeable Notes pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of February 18, 2020, among i3 Verticals, LLC, the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company National Association, as trustee (the “Indenture”).
The Exchangeable Notes bore interest at a fixed rate of 1.00 % per year, payable semiannually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning on August 15, 2020. In accordance with the terms of the Indenture, as of August 15, 2024, the Exchangeable Notes became exchangeable at the option of the holders at any time until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. The Exchangeable Notes matured and the remaining principal balance was repaid in full on February 15, 2025, as further described below.
During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020, we repurchased $ 21,000 in aggregate principal amount of Exchangeable Notes in open market purchases. In addition, on December 21, 2023, i3 Verticals, LLC entered into agreements to repurchase an additional portion of its Exchangeable Notes pursuant to privately negotiated transactions with a limited number of holders of the Exchangeable Notes (the "Exchangeable Note Repurchases"). The repurchase payments were determined by the Company’s average stock price over the 15 trading-day measurement period ended January 16, 2024. The closing of the Exchangeable Note Repurchases occurred on January 18, 2024, and the Company paid $ 87,391 to repurchase $ 90,777 in aggregate principal amount of its Exchangeable Notes and to repay approximately $ 386 in accrued interest on the repurchased portion of the Exchangeable Notes. The Company wrote off $ 926 of debt issuance costs in connection with the repurchase transactions. These repurchases resulted in a decrease in the Company's total leverage ratio, and following the completion of the repurchases of these Exchangeable Notes, approximately $ 26,223 in aggregate principal amount of the Exchangeable Notes remained outstanding, with terms unchanged. The Company recorded a gain on retirement of debt of $ 2,397 due to the estimated acquisition price exceeding the net carrying

amount of the repurchased portion of the Exchangeable Notes, adjusted for unamortized debt issuance costs and costs and third-party fees related to the transaction.
Upon maturity of the Exchangeable Notes in February 2025, we paid $ 26,223 for the remaining principal balance and $ 131 in accrued interest.
Exchangeable Note Hedge Transactions
On February 12, 2020, concurrently with the pricing of the Exchangeable Notes, and on February 13, 2020, concurrently with the exercise by the initial purchasers of their right to purchase additional Exchangeable Notes, i3 Verticals, LLC entered into exchangeable note hedge transactions with respect to Class A common stock (the “Note Hedge Transactions”) with certain financial institutions (collectively, the “Counterparties”). The Note Hedge Transactions covered, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the Exchangeable Notes, the same number of shares of Class A common stock that initially underlied the Exchangeable Notes in the aggregate and were exercisable upon exchange of the Exchangeable Notes. The Note Hedge Transactions were intended to reduce potential dilution to the Class A common stock upon any exchange of the Exchangeable Notes. The Note Hedge Transactions expired upon the maturity of the Exchangeable Notes. The Note Hedge Transactions were separate transactions, entered into by i3 Verticals, LLC with the Counterparties, and were not part of the terms of the Exchangeable Notes. Holders of the Exchangeable Notes did not have any rights with respect to the Note Hedge Transactions. i3 Verticals, LLC used approximately $ 28,676 of the net proceeds from the offering of the Exchangeable Notes (net of the premiums received for the warrant transactions described below) to pay the cost of the Note Hedge Transactions.
The Note Hedge Transactions did not require separate accounting as a derivative as they meet a scope exception for certain contracts involving an entity's own equity. The premiums paid for the Note Hedge Transactions have been included as a net reduction to additional paid-in capital within stockholders' equity.
In December 2023, i3 Verticals, LLC received $ 250 from the Counterparties to terminate the portion of the Note Hedge Transactions corresponding to the Exchangeable Notes that were repurchased in fiscal year 2020. Also in December 2023, i3 Verticals, LLC entered into agreements with the Counterparties to terminate the portion of the Note Hedge Transactions corresponding to the Exchangeable Note Repurchases.

The Note Hedge Transactions expired in February 2025 upon the maturity and payment in full of the Exchangeable Notes.
Warrant Transactions
On February 12, 2020, concurrently with the pricing of the Exchangeable Notes, and on February 13, 2020, concurrently with the exercise by the initial purchasers of their right to purchase additional Exchangeable Notes, the Company entered into warrant transactions to sell to the Counterparties warrants (the “Warrants”) to acquire, subject to customary adjustments, up to initially 3,376,391 shares of Class A common stock in the aggregate at an initial exercise price of $ 62.88 per share. The Company offered and sold the Warrants in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The Warrants expire over a ninety trading day period that began on May 15, 2025.
The Warrants are separate transactions, entered into by the Company with the Counterparties, and are not part of the terms of the Exchangeable Notes. Holders of the Exchangeable Notes did not have any rights with respect to the Warrants. The Company received approximately $ 14,669 from the offering and sale of the Warrants. The Warrants do not require separate accounting as a derivative as they meet a scope exception for certain contracts involving an entity's own equity. The premiums paid for the Warrants have been included as a net increase to additional paid-in capital within stockholders' equity.

2023 Senior Secured Credit Facility
On May 8, 2023, i3 Verticals, LLC (the “Borrower”), entered into that certain Credit Agreement (as amended, the “2023 Senior Secured Credit Facility”) with the guarantors and lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (“JPMorgan”). The 2023 Senior Secured Credit Facility replaced the prior senior secured credit facility of the Company which was entered into on May 9, 2019 (the "Prior Senior Secured Credit Facility"). Following an amendment to the Credit Facility entered into on May 5, 2025, as described below, the 2023 Senior Secured Credit Facility provides for aggregate commitments of $ 400,000 in the form of a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”).
The 2023 Senior Secured Credit Facility provides that the Borrower has the right to seek additional commitments to provide additional term loan facilities or additional revolving credit commitments in an aggregate principal amount up to, as of any date of determination, the sum of (i) the greater of $ 100,000 and 100 % of the Borrower’s consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the 2023 Senior Secured Credit Facility) for the most recently completed four quarter period, plus (ii) the amount of certain prepayments of certain indebtedness, so long as, among other things, after giving pro forma effect to the incurrence of such additional borrowings and any related transactions, the Borrower’s consolidated interest coverage ratio (as defined in the 2023 Senior Secured Credit Facility) would not be less than 3.0 to 1.0 and the Borrower’s consolidated total net leverage ratio (as defined in the 2023 Senior Secured Credit Facility) would not exceed 5.0 to 1.0.

The provision of any such additional amounts under the additional term loan facilities or additional revolving credit commitments are subject to certain additional conditions and the receipt of certain additional commitments by existing or additional lenders. The lenders under the 2023 Senior Secured Credit Facility are not under any obligation to provide any such additional term loan facilities or revolving credit commitments.
The proceeds of the Revolver, together with proceeds from any additional amounts under the additional term loan facilities or additional revolving credit commitments, may only be used by the Borrower to (i) finance working capital, capital expenditures and other lawful corporate purposes, (ii) finance permitted acquisitions (as defined in the 2023 Senior Secured Credit Facility) and (iii) to refinance certain existing indebtedness.
Borrowings under the Revolver will be made, at the Borrower’s option, at the Adjusted Term SOFR rate or the base rate, plus, in each case, an applicable margin.
The Adjusted Term SOFR rate will be the rate of interest per annum equal to the Term SOFR rate (based upon an interest period of one, three or six months), plus 0.10 %, plus an applicable margin of 2.00 % to 3.00 % ( 2.00 % at June 30, 2025). The Adjusted Term SOFR rate shall not be less than 0 % in any event.

In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the Revolver, the Borrower will be required to pay a commitment fee equal to the product of between 0.15 % and 0.30 % (the applicable percentage depending on the Borrower’s consolidated total net leverage ratio as reflected in the schedule above, 0.15 % at June 30, 2025) times the actual daily amount by which $ 400,000 exceeds the total amount outstanding under the Revolver and available to be drawn under all outstanding letters of credit.
The Borrower will be permitted to voluntarily reduce the unutilized portion of the commitment amount and repay outstanding loans under the 2023 Senior Secured Credit Facility, whether such amounts are issued under the Revolver or under the additional term loan facilities or additional revolving credit facilities, at any time without premium or penalty.
In addition, if the total amount borrowed under the Revolver exceeds $ 400,000 at any time, the 2023 Senior Secured Credit Facility requires the Borrower to prepay such excess outstanding amounts.
All obligations under the 2023 Senior Secured Credit Facility are unconditionally guaranteed by the Company, and each of the Company’s existing and future direct and indirect material, wholly owned domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions. The obligations are secured by first-priority security interests in substantially all tangible and intangible assets of the Borrower, the Company and each subsidiary guarantor, in each case whether owned on the date of the initial borrowings or thereafter acquired.
The 2023 Senior Secured Credit Facility places certain restrictions on the ability of the Borrower, the Company and their subsidiaries to, among other things, incur debt and liens; merge, consolidate or liquidate; dispose of assets; enter into hedging arrangements; make certain restricted payments; undertake transactions with affiliates; enter into sale-leaseback transactions; make certain investments; prepay or modify the terms of certain indebtedness; and modify the terms of certain organizational agreements.
The 2023 Senior Secured Credit Facility contains customary events of default, including payment defaults, breaches of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross-defaults to other material indebtedness, certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency, material judgments, certain events with respect to employee benefit plans, invalidity of loan documents and certain changes in control.
On May 5, 2025, i3 LLC entered into that certain Second Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”), which amended the 2023 Senior Secured Credit Facility, with the guarantors and the lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent.
The Amendment provided for certain amendments to the 2023 Senior Secured Credit Facility, including amendments that permitted and accommodated the execution of the Healthcare RCM Purchase Agreement and the consummation of the Healthcare RCM Transactions. The Amendment also permanently reduced the aggregate lender commitments under the Company’s revolving line of credit from $ 450,000 to $ 400,000 .

Debt issuance costs
The Company incurred $ 249 in debt issuance costs during both the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025 and $ 906 in debt issuance costs during both the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024. The Company's debt issuance costs are being amortized over the related term of the debt using the straight-line method, which is not materially different than the effective interest rate method, and are presented within other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The amortization of deferred debt issuance costs is included in interest expense and amounted to approximately $ 216 and $ 746 during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025 and $ 221 and $ 897 during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024. In connection with the Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement, the Company recorded $ 295 during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025 for the write-off of debt issuance costs, which was recorded in interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
9. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
Share Repurchase Program
On August 8, 2024, the Company entered into a share repurchase program for the Company's Class A common stock, under which the Company was authorized to repurchase up to $ 50,000 of outstanding shares of our Class A common stock (exclusive of fees, commissions or other expenses related to such repurchases) (the "Prior Share Repurchase Program"). Pursuant to the Prior Share Repurchase Program, the Company was authorized to make repurchases of our Class A Common Stock in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise, including under Rule 10b5-1 plans. The Prior Share Repurchase Program terminated on August 8, 2025, and has been replaced by a new share repurchase program adopted by the Company as described below under Note 20.
During the nine months ended June 30, 2025 the Company repurchased 1,573,881 shares of Class A Common Stock under the Prior Share Repurchase Program at an average price of $ 23.86 per share for a total cost inclusive of commissions and excise taxes of $ 37,979 . The repurchased shares were cancelled and retired, resulting in a permanent reduction in both the number of shares outstanding and the Company's total stockholders' equity.
When the Company repurchases shares of Common Stock, the amount paid to repurchase the shares in excess of the par or stated value is allocated to additional paid-in-capital unless subject to limitation or the balance in additional paid-in-capital is exhausted. Remaining amounts are recognized as a reduction in retained earnings.
As of June 30, 2025 the remaining total available authorization under the Prior Share Repurchase Program was $ 12,445 .
10. INCOME TAXES
i3 Verticals, Inc. is taxed as a corporation and pays corporate federal, state and local taxes on income allocated to it from i3 Verticals, LLC based on i3 Verticals, Inc.’s economic interest in i3 Verticals, LLC. i3 Verticals, LLC's members, including the Company, are liable for federal, state and local income taxes based on their share of i3 Verticals, LLC's pass-through taxable income. i3 Verticals, LLC is not a taxable entity for federal income tax purposes but is subject to and reports entity level tax in both Tennessee and Texas. In addition, certain subsidiaries of i3 Verticals, LLC are corporations that are subject to state and federal income taxes.
On July 4, 2025, the U.S. enacted the tax legislation known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act which includes, among other provisions, changes to federal income tax provisions including the allowance of immediate

(in thousands, except unit, share and per share amounts)
expensing of qualifying research and development expenses and permanent extensions of certain provision within the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others taking effect in later years. The Company is evaluating the future impact of these changes on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Company’s tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of its annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period. When the estimate of the annual effective tax rate is unreliable, the Company records its income tax expense or benefit based upon a period to date effective tax rate. Each quarter, the Company updates its estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if the Company’s estimated tax rate changes, it makes a cumulative adjustment in that period. The Company’s provision for income taxes for continuing operations was a benefit of $ 22 and a provision of $ 3,272 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025 and a provision of $ 5,191 and a provision of $ 3,153 during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024.
Tax Receivable Agreement
On June 25, 2018, the Company entered into a Tax Receivable Agreement with i3 Verticals, LLC and each of the Continuing Equity Owners (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”) that provides for the payment by the Company to the Continuing Equity Owners of 85 % of the amount of certain tax benefits, if any, that it actually realizes, or in some circumstances, is deemed to realize in its tax reporting, as a result of (i) future redemptions funded by the Company or exchanges, or deemed exchanges in certain circumstances, of Common Units of i3 Verticals, LLC for Class A common stock of i3 Verticals, Inc. or cash, and (ii) certain additional tax benefits attributable to payments made under the Tax Receivable Agreement. These tax benefit payments are not conditioned upon one or more of the Continuing Equity Owners maintaining a continued ownership interest in i3 Verticals, LLC. If a Continuing Equity Owner transfers Common Units but does not assign to the transferee of such units its rights under the Tax Receivable Agreement, such Continuing Equity Owner generally will continue to be entitled to receive payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement arising in respect of a subsequent exchange of such Common Units. In general, the Continuing Equity Owners’ rights under the Tax Receivable Agreement may not be assigned, sold, pledged or otherwise alienated to any person, other than certain permitted transferees, without (a) the Company's prior written consent, which may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and (b) such persons becoming a party to the Tax Receivable Agreement and agreeing to succeed to the applicable Continuing Equity Owner’s interest therein. The Company expects to benefit from the remaining 15 % of the tax benefits, if any, that the Company may realize.
During the nine months ended June 30, 2025, the Company acquired an aggregate of 1,200,216 Common Units in i3 Verticals, LLC in connection with the redemption of Common Units from the Continuing Equity Owners, which resulted in an increase in the tax basis of our investment in i3 Verticals, LLC subject to the provisions of the Tax Receivable Agreement. As a result of the exchange, during the nine months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized an increase to its net deferred tax assets in the amount of $ 6,907 , and corresponding Tax Receivable Agreement liabilities of $ 5,871 , representing 85 % of the tax benefits due to Continuing Equity Owners. The Company made payments of $ 9,954 during the nine months ended June 30, 2025 under the Tax Receivable Agreement.
The deferred tax asset and corresponding Tax Receivable Agreement liability balances were $ 39,178 and $ 35,117 , respectively, as of June 30, 2025.
Payments to the Continuing Equity Owners related to exchanges through June 30, 2025 will range from $ 0 to $ 3,501 per year and are expected to be paid over the next 26 years. The amounts recorded as of June 30, 2025, approximate the current estimate of expected tax savings and are subject to change after the filing of the Company’s U.S. federal and state income tax returns. Future payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement with respect to subsequent exchanges would be in addition to these amounts.

11. LEASES
The Company’s leases consist primarily of real estate leases throughout the markets in which the Company operates. At contract inception, the Company determines whether an arrangement is or contains a lease, and for each identified lease, evaluates the classification as operating or financing. The Company had no finance leases as of June 30, 2025. Leased assets and obligations are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of fixed lease payments to be made over the term of the lease. Renewal and termination options are factored into determination of the lease term only if the option is reasonably certain to be exercised. The weighted-average remaining lease term at June 30, 2025 and 2024 were both 2 years. The Company had no significant short-term leases during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
The Company’s leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit interest rate and the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to measure the lease liability and corresponding right-of-use asset. The incremental borrowing rates were determined based on a portfolio approach considering the Company’s current secured borrowing rate adjusted for market conditions and the length of the lease term. The weighted-average discount rate used in the measurement of our lease liabilities was 7.4 % and 7.9 % as of June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Operating lease cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Operating lease costs from continuing operations were $ 640 and $ 1,447 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025 and $ 686 and $ 2,095 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Total operating lease costs from continuing operations include variable lease costs of approximately $ 56 and $ 360 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025, and $ 140 and $ 187 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024, which are primarily comprised of costs of maintenance and utilities and changes in rates, and are determined based on the actual costs incurred during the period. Variable payments are expensed in the period incurred and not included in the measurement of lease assets and liabilities.
Short-term rent expense from continuing operations was $ 61 and $ 111 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025, and $ 11 and $ 26 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024, and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
As of June 30, 2025, maturities of lease liabilities for continuing operations are as follows:
Fiscal Years ending September 30:
2025 (three months remaining) $ 671
2026 2,095
2027 1,378
2028 601
2029 591
Thereafter 621
Total future minimum lease payments (undiscounted) (1)

Less: present value discount ( 567 )
Present value of lease liability $ 5,390
__________________________
1. Total future minimum lease payments excludes payments of $ 41 for leases designated as short-term leases, which are excluded from the Company's right-of-use assets. These payments will be made within the next twelve months.

12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company applies the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement , which defines fair value, establishes a framework for its measurement and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or the price paid to transfer a liability as of the measurement date. A three-tier, fair-value reporting hierarchy exists for disclosure of fair value measurements based on the observability of the inputs to the valuation of financial assets and liabilities. The three levels are:
Level 1 — Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.
Level 3 — Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable in active exchange markets.
The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, settlement assets and obligations, accounts receivable, other assets, accounts payable, and accrued expenses, approximated their fair values as of June 30, 2025 and 2024, because of the relatively short maturity dates on these instruments. The carrying amount of debt approximates fair value as of June 30, 2025 and 2024, because interest rates on these instruments approximate market interest rates.
The Company has no Level 1 or Level 2 financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The following tables present the changes in the Company's Level 3 financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

(in thousands, except unit, share and per share amounts)
The fair value of contingent consideration obligations includes inputs not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement. The amount to be paid under these obligations is contingent upon the achievement of certain growth metrics related to the financial performance of the entities subsequent to acquisition. The fair value of material contingent consideration included in an acquisition is calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation as well as a discounted cash flows analysis. The contingent consideration is revalued each period until it is settled. Management reviews the historical and projected performance of each acquisition with contingent consideration and uses an income probability method to revalue the contingent consideration. The revaluation requires management to make certain assumptions and represent management's best estimate at the valuation date. The probabilities are determined based on a management review of the expected likelihood of triggering events that would cause a change in the contingent consideration paid. The Company develops the projected future financial results based on an analysis of historical results, market conditions, and the expected impact of anticipated changes in the Company's overall business and/or product strategies.
Approximately $ 16 and $ 518 of contingent consideration was recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities as of June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively. Approximately $ 3,778 and $ 1,636 of contingent consideration was recorded in other long-term liabilities as of June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively.

Litigation
With respect to all legal, regulatory and governmental proceedings, and in accordance with ASC 450-20, Contingencies—Loss Contingencies , the Company considers the likelihood of a negative outcome. If the Company determines the likelihood of a negative outcome with respect to any such matter is probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company records an accrual for the estimated amount of loss for the expected outcome of the matter. If the likelihood of a negative outcome with respect to material matters is reasonably possible and the Company is able to determine an estimate of the amount of possible loss or a range of loss, whether in excess of a related accrued liability or where there is no accrued liability, the Company discloses the estimate of the amount of possible loss or range of loss. However, the Company in some instances may be unable to estimate an amount of possible loss or range of loss based on the significant uncertainties involved in, or the preliminary nature of, any such material matter, and in these instances the Company will disclose the nature of the contingency and describe why the Company is unable to determine an estimate of possible loss or range of loss.
The Company is involved in ordinary course legal proceedings, which include all claims, lawsuits, investigations and proceedings, including unasserted claims, which are probable of being asserted, arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company has considered all such ordinary course legal proceedings in formulating its disclosures and assessments. After taking into consideration the evaluation of such legal matters by the Company's legal counsel, the Company's management believes at this time such matters will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated balance sheet, results of operations or cash flows.

Gautreaux, III, et. al., individually and as class representatives vs. i3-Software & Services, LLC; 1120 South Pointe Properties, LLC, formerly known as Software and Services of Louisiana, L.L.C.; i3 Verticals, Inc.; i3 Verticals, LLC; Gregory R. Teeters; and Scott Carrington .
The Petition was amended on October 4, 2021 to amend and expand the putative class and subsequently removed to federal court. The Petition seeks monetary damages for the cost of network remediation of $ 15,000 purportedly spent by the State and $ 7,000 purportedly spent by the Sheriffs and Districts, return of purchase prices, potential additional expenses related to remediation and any obligation to notify parties of an alleged data breach as and if required by applicable law, and reasonable attorneys’ fees. The claimed damages relate to a third-party remote access software product used in connection with services provided by S&S to certain Louisiana law enforcement districts and alleged inadequacies in the Company’s cybersecurity practices. On February 22, 2024, the case was remanded to the 19th Judicial District Court for the Parish of East Baton Rouge, where the case remains pending.
All Defendants filed pleading-stage motions to dismiss, some of which were granted. The Court allowed plaintiffs to re-plead certain claims and has severed the claims brought by the Division of Administration from the claims brought by the parish Sheriffs and Districts. The State chose not to re-plead their claims, which leaves some of their claims now dismissed with prejudice. The Sheriffs and Districts re-plead their claims. Certain Defendants filed renewed pleading-stage motions to dismiss that the Court denied on April 14, 2025. The case is now in the discovery phase of litigation.
The assets of the S&S business were acquired from South Pointe by the Company in 2018 for $ 17,000 , including upfront cash consideration and contingent consideration, and provides software and payments services to local government agencies almost exclusively in Louisiana.

The Company is unable to predict the outcome of this litigation. While the Company does not believe that this matter will have a material adverse effect on its business or financial condition, the Company cannot give assurance that this matter will not have a material effect on its results of operations or cash flows for any particular reporting period.
15. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In connection with the Company’s IPO, the Company and i3 Verticals, LLC entered into a Tax Receivable Agreement with the Continuing Equity Owners that provides for the payment by the Company to the Continuing Equity Owners of 85 % of the amount of certain tax benefits, if any, that it actually realizes, or in some circumstances, is deemed to realize in its tax reporting, as a result of (i) future redemptions funded by the Company or exchanges, or deemed exchanges in certain circumstances, of Common Units of i3 Verticals, LLC for Class A common stock of i3 Verticals, Inc. or cash, and (ii) certain additional tax benefits attributable to payments made under the Tax Receivable Agreement. See Note 10 for further information. As of June 30, 2025, the total amount due under the Tax Receivable Agreement was $ 35,117 .
On January 23, 2025, the Company and i3 Verticals, LLC effected certain recapitalization actions in order to reduce excess cash held at the Company as a result of its “Up-C” structure following a tax distribution received by the Company and the Continuing Equity Owners earlier in January 2025 (the “LLC Tax Distribution”) related to the taxable income associated with the gain on the sale of the Merchant Services Business completed in September 2024 that was anticipated to be recognized for 2024 federal income tax purposes by members of the Company. As a result of differences in the amount of net taxable income allocable to the Company and to the Continuing Equity Owners and the higher assumed tax rate of the Continuing Equity Owners than the tax rate of the Company, this LLC Tax Distribution resulted in the Company holding cash in excess of the Company’s tax liabilities, its obligation to make payments under its the Tax Receivable Agreement, and any other expected liabilities of the Company.
Accordingly, in order to make such cash held by the Company accessible in connection with our operations, on January 23, 2025, the Company contributed approximately $ 21,396 in cash (the “Capital Contribution”) held by the Company to i3 LLC in exchange for 896,763 newly-issued common units of i3 Verticals, LLC (“Common Units”) at a price per Common Unit of $ 23.86 , such price being equal to the to the 50 -day volume-weighted average price of the Company’s Class A common stock for the period ended January 22, 2025. Immediately following the Capital Contribution, the Common Units were recapitalized through a reverse unit split of the Common Units at a ratio of approximately 0.9631 to 1 (the “Reverse Unit Split”) which caused the number of Common Units held by the Company immediately following the Reverse Unit Split to equal to the number of Common Units held by the Company immediately prior to the Contribution, thereby maintaining a one -to-one ratio between the number of Common Units owned by the Company and the number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock. Upon the effectiveness of the Reverse Unit Split, 369,256 outstanding shares of Class B common stock of the Company were retired without consideration, thereby maintaining a one -to-one ratio between the number of Common Units owned by the Continuing Equity Owners after giving to the Reverse Unit Split and the number of outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock.
After giving effect to these recapitalization actions, as of January 23, 2025, the Company held approximately 70.83 % of the outstanding Common Units (an increase of approximately 0.78 % compared to the Company’s ownership of approximately 70.05 % of the outstanding Common Units immediately prior to giving effect to these recapitalization actions) and the Continuing Equity Owners hold approximately 29.17 % of the outstanding Common Units (a decrease of approximately 0.78 % compared to the Continuing Equity Owners’ ownership of approximately 29.95 % of the outstanding Common Units immediately prior to giving effect to these recapitalization actions).

16. SEGMENTS
The Company determines its operating segments based on ASC 280, Segment Reporting , in alignment with how the CODM monitors and manages the performance of the business as well as the level at which financial information is reviewed.
As noted above, on September 20, 2024, the Company completed the transactions contemplated by the Merchant Services Purchase Agreement dated June 26, 2024, and sold the equity interests of the Merchant Services Acquired Entities comprising the Merchant Services Business. The Merchant Services Business comprised the Company's entire former Merchant Services segment and a small portion of the Company's former Software and Services segment. As a result of the sale of the Merchant Services Business, the historical results of the Merchant Services Business have been reflected as discontinued operations in our consolidated financial statements, and the Company ceased presenting a Merchant Services segment. See Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Additionally, as noted above, on May 5, 2025, the Company completed the sale of the equity interests of the subsidiaries of the Company which owned and operated the Company's Healthcare RCM Business. The Healthcare RCM business comprised a majority of the Company's former Healthcare segment. As a result of the sale of the Healthcare RCM business, the historical results of the Healthcare RCM Business have been reflected as discontinued operations in the Company's consolidated financial statements. See Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Prior to giving effect to the disposition of the Healthcare RCM Business, the Company had two operating segments and reportable segments, a Public Sector segment and a Healthcare segment, as reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended March 31, 2025. After giving effect to the disposition of the Healthcare RCM Business, the Company's core business for continuing operations is providing mission-critical enterprise software solutions to its public sector customers. Taking into account the impact of the disposition of the Healthcare RCM Business, the Company has updated its segment presentation, and has determined that it has one operating segment and reportable segment as of June 30, 2025. This change in our segment presentation is consistent with how the CODM reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance (which is based on consolidated information) as further noted below.
The Company's business has products and solutions that create an efficient flow of information. The Company's public sector software solutions help its customers provide more responsive and efficient services to their citizens and stakeholders.
As the Company has a single operating segment and single reportable segment and is managed on a consolidated basis, the measure of segment profit or loss that the CODM uses to allocate resources and assess performance is consolidated net income as reported in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The CODM uses this measure to evaluate operating performance and for the purpose of making decisions about allocating resources.

17. NON-CONTROLLING INTEREST
i3 Verticals, Inc. is the sole managing member of i3 Verticals, LLC, and as a result, consolidates the financial results of i3 Verticals, LLC and reports a non-controlling interest representing the Common Units of i3 Verticals, LLC held by the Continuing Equity Owners. Changes in i3 Verticals, Inc.’s ownership interest in i3 Verticals, LLC while i3 Verticals, Inc. retains its controlling interest in i3 Verticals, LLC will be accounted for as equity transactions. As such, future redemptions or direct exchanges of Common Units of i3 Verticals, LLC by the Continuing Equity Owners will result in a change in ownership and reduce or increase the amount recorded as non-controlling interest and increase or decrease additional paid-in capital when i3 Verticals, LLC has positive or negative net assets, respectively.
As of June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, i3 Verticals, Inc. owned 23,780,915 and 23,442,698 of i3 Verticals, LLC's Common Units, representing a 73.8 % and 70.0 % economic ownership interest in i3 Verticals, LLC.

The reallocation of net income assuming conversion of common units represents the tax effected net income attributable to non-controlling interest using the effective income tax rates described in Note 10 above and assuming all common units of i3 Verticals, LLC were exchanged for Class A common stock at the beginning of the period. The common units of i3 Verticals, LLC held by the Continuing Equity Owners are potentially dilutive securities, and the computations of diluted net income per share assume that all common units of i3 Verticals, LLC were exchanged for shares of Class A common stock at the beginning of the period.

In September 2022 the Company made the irrevocable election to settle the principal portion of its Exchangeable Notes only in cash, the Company uses the treasury stock method for calculating any potential dilutive effect of the conversion spread on diluted net loss per share, if applicable. The conversion spread had a dilutive impact on diluted net loss per share of common stock when the average market price of the Company's Class A common stock for a given period exceeded the exchange price of $ 40.87 per share for the Exchangeable Notes. The Exchangeable Notes matured in February 2025 and we paid the entire remaining principal balance.
The Warrants sold in connection with the issuance of the Exchangeable Notes are considered to be dilutive when the average price of the Company's Class A common stock during the period exceeds the Warrants' stock price of $ 62.88 per share. The effect of the additional shares that may be issued upon exercise of the Warrants will be included in the weighted average shares of Class A common stock outstanding—diluted using the treasury stock method. The Warrants expire over a ninety trading day period that began on May 15, 2025. The Note Hedge Transactions purchased in connection with the issuance of the Exchangeable Notes are considered to be anti-dilutive and therefore do not impact our calculation of diluted net income per share. The Note Hedge Transactions expired in February 2025 upon the maturity and payment in full of the Exchangeable Notes. Refer to Note 8 for further discussion regarding the Exchangeable Notes.
Shares of the Company's Class B common stock do not participate in the earnings or losses of the Company and are therefore not participating securities. As such, separate presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share of Class B common stock under the two-class method has not been presented.

related to such repurchases). This new share purchase program will replace the Prior Share Repurchase Program which terminated on August 8, 2025, as described above in Note 9.
This share repurchase program will terminate on the earlier of September 30, 2026, or when the maximum dollar amount under the authorization has been expended. Pursuant to this authorization, repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise, including under Rule 10b5-1 plans. In addition, any repurchases under this share repurchase program will be subject to prevailing market conditions, liquidity and cash flow considerations, applicable securities laws requirements (including under Rule 10b-18 and Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as applicable), compliance with contractual restrictions under the 2023 Senior Secured Credit Facility and other factors.
