Computed values are grepcent-computed from the verified facts above and may differ from ratios the company itself reports. Free cash flow = operating cash flow − capital expenditures. Net margin = net income ÷ revenue. Operating margin = operating income ÷ revenue. Revenue YoY = FY2025 revenue ÷ FY2024 revenue − 1 (consecutive fiscal years only). ROE = net income ÷ period-end stockholders' equity.

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2025 (“Form 10-K”), filed with the SEC on November 21, 2025. The terms “i3 Verticals,” “we,” “us” and “our” and similar references refer to i3 Verticals, Inc. and, where appropriate, its subsidiaries.

Note Regarding Forward-looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes statements that express our opinions, expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or projections regarding future events or future results and therefore are, or may be deemed to be, “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this report may be forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements can generally be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the terms “believes,” “estimates,” “pro forma,” “continues,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “seeks,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “may,” “will,” “would” or “should” or, in each case, their negative or other variations or comparable terminology.

By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. These factors include, but are not limited to, the following:

•our ability to protect our systems and data from continually evolving cybersecurity risks or other technological risks, including the impact of any cybersecurity incidents or security breaches;

•liability and reputation damage from unauthorized disclosure, destruction or modification of data or disruption of our services;

•technical, operational and regulatory risks related to our information technology systems and third-party providers’ systems;

•our ability to execute on our strategy and achieve our goals following the completion of the sale of our Merchant Services Business and our Healthcare RCM Business;

•our ability to successfully manage our intellectual property;

•the impact of any potential of impairment charges associated with our fair-valued assets, including goodwill and intangible assets, in the event of a decline in the price of our Class A common stock or otherwise;

•our ability to generate revenues sufficient to maintain profitability and positive cash flow;

•competition in our industry and our ability to compete effectively;

•consolidation in the banking and financial services industry;

•risk of shortages, price increases, changes, delays or discontinuations of hardware due to supply chain disruptions with respect to our limited number of suppliers;

•risks related to economic and geopolitical conditions, including the impact of inflation and fluctuations in interest rates (including current elevated interest rate levels) and tariff and trade-related developments;

•our ability to keep pace with rapid developments and changes in our industry and provide new products and services;

•reliance on third parties for significant services;

•exposure to economic conditions and political risks affecting consumer, commercial and government spending, including as a result of budgetary and political pressures to reduce government spending, as well as any decline in the use of credit cards;

•changes in the budgets or regulatory environments of our public sector customers, primarily local and state governments, that could negatively impact spending;

•our ability to increase our existing market share, grow within the current public sector markets in which we operate and execute our growth strategy;

44

•our ability to successfully identify acquisition targets, complete those acquisitions and effectively integrate those acquisitions into our services;

•potential degradation of the quality of our products, services and support;

•our ability to retain customers;

•our ability to attract, recruit, retain and develop key personnel and qualified employees;

•risk of chargeback liabilities if our customers refuse or cannot reimburse chargebacks resolved in favor of their customers;

•risks related to laws, regulations and industry standards, including our ability to comply with complex laws and regulations applicable to the industries in which we operate or to adjust our operations in response to changing laws and regulations, such as the evolving legal, ethical, regulatory and operational landscape related to artificial intelligence technologies;

•the impact of decisions of the U.S. Supreme Court regarding the actions of federal agencies;

•the impact of claims, litigation and government investigations;

•risks related to our international operations;

•our indebtedness and our ability to maintain compliance with the financial covenants in our 2023 Senior Secured Credit Facility (as defined below);

•our ability to meet our liquidity needs;

•our ability to raise additional funds on terms acceptable to us, if at all, whether through debt, equity or a combination thereof;

•operating and financial restrictions imposed by our 2023 Senior Secured Credit Facility;

•the impact on our financial results of changes in the fair value of certain minority equity investments; and

•the "Risk Factors" included in our Form 10-K and included in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, if any.

Although we base these forward-looking statements on assumptions that we believe are reasonable when made, we caution you that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that our actual results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and industry developments may differ materially from statements made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The matters summarized in “Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K, and in subsequent filings could cause our actual results to differ significantly from those contained in our forward-looking statements. In addition, even if our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and industry developments are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this filing, those results or developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods.

In light of these risks and uncertainties, we caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement that we make in this filing speaks only as of the date of such statement, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement or to publicly announce the results of any revision to any of those statements to reflect future events or developments, except as required by applicable law. Comparisons of results for current and any prior periods are not intended to express any future trends or indications of future performance, unless specifically expressed as such, and should only be viewed as historical data.

Economic Trends

Inflationary pressures, elevated interest rate levels, monetary policy, the current geopolitical situation (including military conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine), tariff and trade-related developments, and budgetary and political pressures to reduce government spending are causing broad economic uncertainty and could potentially cause new, or exacerbate existing, economic challenges that may impact us. The future magnitude, duration and effects of these macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions are difficult to predict, and as such we are unable to predict the extent of the potential effect of these conditions on our financial results.

Item 7.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our audited financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including but not limited to those under the heading “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain amounts in this section may not foot due to rounding.

Executive Overview

After giving effect to the sale of our Healthcare RCM Business on May 5, 2025, as described below, the Company provides mission-critical enterprise software solutions to its public sector customers. These comprehensive cloud-native solutions address a broad range of government functions, including courts, transportation, utilities, revenue and schools. The Company’s mission is to enable state and local governments and related agencies to serve their constituents in an effective and efficient manner. With thousands of software installations across all 50 states and Canada, i3 Verticals is a leader in the public sector vertical.

50

Prior to the disposition of the Healthcare RCM Business, we had two operating segments and reportable segments, a Public Sector segment and a Healthcare Segment, as reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended March 31, 2025, included in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for these periods filed on May 9, 2025. After giving effect to the disposition of the Healthcare RCM Business, the Company determined that it had one operating segment and one reportable segment as of June 30, 2025, and accordingly has updated its segment presentation to reflect this determination. See Note 19 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Economic Trends

Inflationary pressures, elevated interest rate levels, monetary policy, and the current geopolitical situation (including the military conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine), tariff and trade-related developments, and budgetary and political pressures to reduce government spending are causing broad economic uncertainty and could potentially cause new, or exacerbate existing, economic challenges that may impact us. For example, we have business operations in Canada, and the determination of Canadian governmental authorities or businesses to cancel or not renew contracts, or otherwise reduce business, with U.S. companies as a result of current trade tensions with the United States, as has been advocated by certain Canadian governmental authorities, could adversely impact our financial results. The future magnitude, duration and effects of these macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions are difficult to predict, and as such we are unable to predict the extent of the potential effect of these conditions on our financial results.

Liquidity

At September 30, 2025, we had $66.7 million of cash and cash equivalents and $400.0 million of available capacity under our 2023 Senior Secured Credit Facility, subject to our financial covenants. As of September 30, 2025, we were in compliance with these covenants with a consolidated interest coverage ratio and total leverage ratio 96.8x, and 0.0x, respectively. For additional information about our 2023 Senior Secured Credit Facility, see the section entitled “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.
