| We're really well positioned today, and we're continuing to innovate as a key technology provider in our space |
| We're pleased to report another strong quarter of revenue and operating income growth |
| In conclusion, Q2 reflects the strong performance we've seen consistently in the first half and expect the remainder of our fiscal year |
| We are exceptionally positive about our ability to deliver innovative and in-demand solutions, the resilience of our clients and our focus on execution and shareholder value creation |
| Year-to-date non-GAAP revenue also increased 9% with 25 basis points of margin expansion |
| We again had a solid quarter in the core segment of our business |
| This was due to the strong growth in our EPS business, moderate card growth coupled with our scalable operating model and disciplined cost control |
| Our payments segment also performed well, posting a 6% increase in revenue this quarter on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis |
| We had another strong quarter in our complementary solutions businesses, with a 7% increase in revenue this quarter and a 9% increase on a non-GAAP basis |
| This segment had impressive non-GAAP operating margin growth of 128 basis points |
| In fact, this was the best second quarter ever for sales bookings and second highest sales quarter in our history, trailing only our June quarter last year |
| We continue to see success with our card processing solutions, signing 12 new card processing clients this quarter |
| We also continue to see strong success signing clients to our Banno digital suite with 135 new contracts in Q2, including 56 contracts for our new Banno business offering |
| Our core segment revenue increased 8% on a non-GAAP basis, with non-GAAP operating margins increasing 166 basis points, benefiting from private cloud trends and strong cost controls |
| Breaking down the results into the three operating segments, we're pleased by the consistent solid performance achieved |
| And However, we continue to add to our pipeline, and we ended the quarter on par with Q1, which projects very well for us for the remainder of the sales year |
| We were pleased to have recently received two national workplace awards Newsweek's greatest Workplaces for Diversity and Computer World's Best Places to Work in IT |
| We are very proud of that recognition because we view corporate sustainability as a strategic investment for our stakeholders |
| These strong quarterly results produced a fully diluted GAAP earnings per share of $1.26 and up 14% |
| And as long as we maintain that rate, that bodes well for us as far as our algorithm -- forward-looking algorithm of revenue growth and so on |
| And so, as we think about it, we're pleased to have the additional margin expansion in the guide that we provided yesterday and today |
| Similar to recent results, drivers included a combination of higher card and other payment processing with strong digital demand |
| As we focus on the second half of this fiscal year, our sales pipeline is very robust, and we continue to be optimistic about the strength of our technology solutions, our ability to deliver outstanding service to our clients, our ability to expand client relationships, the spending environment and our long-term prospects for success |
| We saw consistently positive performance with 9% growth on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis for the quarter and first half from this reoccurring revenue source |
| This reoccurring revenue contributor has long been a double-digit growth engine |
| Since Dave became CEO at the start of fiscal year 2017, and Jack Henry has experienced outstanding growth with revenue and net income both up approximately 50% |
| But now looking back on it, it's been incredibly successful for our company as far as hitting the targets that we expected to hit financially for Jack Henry as far as the sales opportunities that it's created, which have been very significant over the past few years |
| We continue to experience robust growth in our private and public cloud offerings which again increased 10% in the quarter and for year-to-date |
| We continue to break records on the sales front, pipeline is robust |
| Maybe you can talk a little bit about what specific products or is there a segment of the market that you're having outside of success the top line results and the sales have been very, very good over the last 12 months |

| It should be noted that card revenue growth has been negatively impacted by lower card production among other non-processing revenue items |
| Deconversion revenue of $4.9 million, which we pre-released last week, was down approximately $1.5 million, reflecting minimal financial institution consolidation |
| Additionally, the timing of tax payments this year represented a $15 million headwind to free cash flow |
| And then just on second half margins, I think the guide implies margins will be down year-over-year after being up over 100% in the first half of the year |
| Quarterly margins faced headwinds from direct support costs, amortization of new products and licenses and fees |
| Our challenge and our job is to make sure we maintain that rate because, as I said before, we are by far leading the industry |
| And I know you called out the card production slow down |
| Year-to-date, deconversion revenue is $9 million, $1.9 million less than the prior period |
| As a reminder, the guidance for deconversion revenue compared to actual fiscal 2023 deconversion revenue, VIP severance-related costs, and nonrecurring gain on asset sales resulted in an approximate $0.37 headwind for fiscal 2024 GAAP EPS |
| So -- and then I guess, secondly, just on January payments volumes, many kinds of competitors and the industry participants called out the first two or three weeks being pretty slow |
| And so -- and I think part of the challenge is some of the smaller institutions which is why we came out with an agent program was they really didn't want to go in with the full service just based on resources and some of the risk and things like that |
| It's there's still a slow, slow time |
| Again, with only 100 deals happening per year, we're in the 50 to 55 or have been down for a while, 50 to 55 |
| I wanted to say that it had a significant impact |
| Like any statement about the future, these are subject to multiple factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those which we anticipate due to multiple risks and uncertainties |
| Growth in cost of revenue was limited to 5% due to active cost control and the timing of merit increases |
| Next, R&D expense decreased 3% on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis for the quarter |
| And so, I don't see this slowing down at all |
| But fair to say that Q3 would be fairly subdued and then followed by a stronger Q4 just based on typical seasonality |
| And as Dave has said many, many times, I mean, there's a lot of our customers that aren't ready to do this |
